Fingel nodded in slight agreement. He had long heard that the Japanese branch was full of lunatics who liked to torture the specialists from headquarters who came to Japan, and they had a notorious reputation.
However, he was somewhat surprised by what he heard next. Judging from the principal's words, if the Japanese were not satisfied, it seemed that the principal was going to send a large force to forcibly suppress them.
No wonder only the three of them rushed to Japan; it turns out that the logistics department was still busy preparing for the big battle and couldn't spare any manpower.
"So, Headmaster, are we scouts?" Caesar asked, somewhat puzzled. "Are there dragons in Japan?"
The principal of Angers personally led the way—that's a huge deal! There must be at least one dragon in Japan, or even a dragon king!
“The current information suggests that there may be a dragon.” Angers walked ahead. “If the Snake Clan doesn’t admit it, when our main force arrives, we’ll grab them by the neck and interrogate them.”
Upon hearing that there really was a dragon in Japan, Fingel's lewd expression vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely serious one. He turned to Caesar and asked, "President, are you familiar with the school rules?"
Upon entering Kassel College, Kaiser did not join the long-established student society, the Lionheart Society, but instead immediately founded a new student society, the Student Union.
This attracted many students to join, and Fingel was no exception. It wasn't because Caesar was so extravagant as to fill a pool with champagne like water; it was mainly Caesar's lofty elitist ideals that captivated Fingel.
Caesar, whose expression was equally serious, frowned upon hearing his question: "School rules? Are you referring to the emergency management rules when facing dragons? When facing dragons..."
Fingel said awkwardly, "No, it's a school rule about the punishment for desertion in the face of battle..."
Caesar shook his head helplessly. How could a school like Kassel College, which is supposed to be a dragon-slaying institution, let such a scoundrel in?
But why didn't the principal react at all to such treasonous words? Shouldn't this guy who undermines morale be dragged out and beheaded instead of being kept around to wreak havoc on the campus?
The three of them were quite noticeable in the airport's immigration hall.
Angers, this meticulous white-haired old man, exudes the charm of a mature man, causing some women and girls who like mature men to frequently turn their heads.
Caesar, a typical handsome Western boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and chiseled features, also attracted the attention of women.
Fingel wasn't bad, but compared to these two charming men, he was like a servant carrying their luggage... So he quietly took a few steps back, creating some distance between himself and the two men, successfully transforming from a luggage carrier into a bodyguard.
After the "permitted entry" stamp was applied, the three hadn't even left the airport's immigration hall when a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance, attracting everyone's attention.
A convoy of Mercedes-Benz cars entered the scene, blocking the road for passengers to pick up their loved ones. Men in black got out of the cars and stood in groups outside. Although they did not intend to obstruct pedestrians, this organized and premeditated behavior was still quite startling.
Seeing that they didn't seem inclined to pull out knives and start a fight, the airport security personnel cautiously approached to find out what was going on, while simultaneously contacting their superiors for instructions.
None of the men in black spoke. They simply lined up silently and entered the airport in an orderly fashion, forcefully creating a passage through the bustling airport entrance.
Yuan Zhisheng got out of the car and casually explained to the security guard who was being blocked by the men in black outside the human wall passage, "We're just here to pick someone up, it won't take long."
He then went inside.
Looking at the human wall that had opened up in front of the three of them, Fingel couldn't help but say, "You're quite punctual, President. Is this how your people behave? But isn't this behavior a bit too domineering? It's like the mafia."
Caesar suspected he was being sarcastic and replied, "Things that can be done with money are never difficult."
Yuan Zhisheng walked over from the other side of the passageway led by the men in black and greeted Angers: "Principal Angers."
“Yuan Zhisheng, no, now I should call you Patriarch Yuan.” Angers said with a smile when he saw the person who came. “When I first saw this news, I was also very surprised. I thought the Japanese branch had submitted the wrong name.”
Yuan Zhisheng smiled and said, "Because of some things, I took the position of patriarch ahead of schedule."
"Hmm." Angers said to him, "I heard that old buddy Uesugi Kozue has returned to your Snake Clan from outside?"
“That’s right.” Yuan Zhisheng nodded slightly and gestured to them to let them pass through the human wall: “This isn’t a good place to talk. Let’s go back and chat.”
"it is good."
Ang led the two through the passageway and into the car.
Angers rode alone in one car, while Caesar and Fingel rode in the car behind.
Sitting in the car, Fingel glanced at the dozen or so black Mercedes following behind the convoy, then at the motorcycles leading the way. Their unimpeded passage and disregard for traffic lights made Fingel mutter to Caesar, "Aren't the people from the Japanese branch acting a bit too domineering? Aren't they going to get beaten up for being so arrogant?"
“It is indeed a bit domineering.” Caesar nodded and said, “But this pomp and circumstance is normal for welcoming the principal. I guess the notification to the Japanese branch was a bit rushed, and the Japanese branch didn’t have time to submit an application to the Japanese government for road closures or anything like that.”
“Principal Angers has quite the grand entourage,” Fingel stretched comfortably in the luxurious Mercedes. “When will I ever have that kind of prestige…”
Caesar didn't answer him. Based on the question this guy had asked earlier, he felt that the other person would never be able to have such a magnificent display in his entire life...
"Principal, would you like a cigar?" Genji took out the cigar box, opened it, and offered it to Angers.
"Thank you." Angers picked up a cigar without ceremony, but instead of lighting it immediately, he asked, "What was Uesugi Kotsushi up to? I thought he had died out there."
Upon hearing this, Genji said, "The head of the Uesugi family went out for a walk to clear his head."
“More than that.” Angers shook his head: “Decades of relaxation is a bit too long. Given his personality, it’s more like he’s running away from something.”
"hehe."
Genjiro didn't say anything. He couldn't very well say that Principal Angers' guess was quite accurate, could he? He'd rather let Uesugi Kotsugu talk to Angers about it himself; he wouldn't say anything more.
Angers lit a cigar, took a small puff, and after exhaling a few puffs, asked, "I've heard that there's been a lot of trouble in Japan lately."
Genjiro, without changing his expression, tentatively asked, "Really? What is it?"
“There are too many to list, I don’t know where to begin.” Angers looked at Genjiro: “However, in the beginning, other forces interfered in Japanese affairs, and you were powerless to do anything about it.”
How's the situation? Is the pressure high? Do we need reinforcements from headquarters?
Could it be referring to Lu Mingfei and his group? Yuan Zhisheng replied, "Just a few petty thieves. We underestimated them earlier, and we didn't need reinforcements from headquarters at all."
"A few petty thieves can throw your Japanese branch into chaos? That's an underestimation?" Angers said calmly. "Then your Japanese branch still has a lot of room for improvement."
"You've forced us into chaos?" Genji was slightly taken aback.
He recalled the situation of his family and Japan some time ago. It was a bit chaotic, but it didn't seem that serious, did it?
The Oni Clan didn't cause any major trouble. Although the bounty on Erii's runaway caused quite a stir, it was ultimately just about finding someone, and nothing serious happened.
The news of the White King's resurgence did not reach the tribespeople below. With most people unaware of the situation, chaos ensued.
Is Principal Angers' source of this information somewhat exaggerated?
Could it be that this led Principal Angers to misjudge the situation in Japan? So he came here in person... However, it is true that Angers has some knowledge of the situation in Japan. This sudden visit to Japan with his own people is likely an attempt to pressure the Snake Clan to tell everything... No, Principal Angers is not so easy to talk to.
The old man's outward gentleness and affability were merely a facade; his true identity was the world's number one hybrid, the mortal enemy of the dragon race, and an avenger returned from hell.
If Principal Angers had received more accurate information, regarding the resurgence of dragons and the remains of the White King, Kassel College would likely have already begun preparing for war.
The level of detail in Angers' information determined the extent of the Snake Clan's room for maneuver, but unfortunately, Genjiro was unaware of just how detailed Angers' information was.
"How can we even begin to discuss this?" Yuan Zhisheng chose to ask the other party.
Upon hearing this, Angers looked the other person in the eye and asked, "Where is the Lenin icebreaker?"
The Lenin icebreaker? We haven't even seen it yet! Right now, we can only speculate that the Lenin icebreaker sank into the Abyss and awakened the White King there, but this is not really confirmed.
Genjiro said sincerely, somewhat puzzled, "Principal, we have also been searching for the Lenin icebreaker in the Sea of Japan, but we haven't been able to pinpoint its exact location."
Angers shook his head and said nothing more.
That's true. It's not easy to get the secrets that the Secret Service has kept hidden for decades. If they just tell us everything when we ask, then what was the point of them keeping it hidden all this time?
He changed the subject, saying casually, "The dangerous hybrids in Japan are quite rampant. They've actually banded together to fight against you. This is not a common occurrence. There are only so many dangerous hybrids, so for them to band together against the Japanese branch, they must have quite a few people."
He had only just learned about the Japanese Oni Clan; previously, he only knew that the Japanese bloodline was problematic and originated from the White King.
However, the Snake Clan managed Japan quite well and there were no major problems, so they didn't pay much attention to the Dragon Blood Incident.
It wasn't until an unexpected online information interception report was submitted to his desktop that he discovered there wasn't just one hybrid organization in Japan, but two. Moreover, one of them was entirely composed of dangerous hybrids who were fighting against the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
An organization formed by dangerous hybrids?
How can those dangerous hybrids, whose lives are hanging by a thread, possibly unite? Where does their cohesion come from to fight against attacks and pursuit from legitimate hybrid organizations?
It can only be said that this is a unique case in the world, and Angers speculates that it is related to the White King's bloodline.
However, this is a minor matter. The White King bloodline is just that—bloodline. How much more noble can it be than the Four Dragon King lineages? The fact that nothing major happened in Japan proves that the Japanese branch is doing a good job. There's no need to worry about this.
What he was truly concerned about was the Lenin icebreaker, which he had been searching for for many years, especially now that this icebreaker had made connections with the White King lineage in Japan, according to the information currently available…
Yuan Zhisheng said, "This matter is rather complicated, and I'm afraid I can't explain it to you, Principal, in a short time. However, we are working hard to overturn this plan and make it a thing of the past."
The Demon Clan has been unearthed by the academy... However, the Demon Clan's situation is uncontrollable. Ever since the Demon Clan began their organized and disciplined fight against the Snake Clan, the clan has been worried that they might leak this information.
What if the Demon Clan is exposed? The Snake-Headed Eight Families have always had contingency plans for this hidden danger, so Genjiro is not worried.
But Angers didn't want to listen to this nonsense. It was obvious that he had come prepared. No matter how nicely he spoke, it was just empty talk. He gently closed his eyes and said, "I'll rest for a bit."
"Okay." Yuan Zhisheng shut his mouth.
The car was silent until it came to a stop.
At the entrance of the club, Uesugi Kotsu yawned, but perked up a bit when he saw the convoy approaching.
After the car stopped, he went up and opened the car door where Yuan Zhisheng had gotten in. He peeked into the back seat and saw the familiar white-haired old man. He said, "Angers, you're not dead yet."
"what?"
When Angers saw his old friend, he first let out a sound of surprise, and then turned to look at Genjiro.
Because there had been quite a long gap between the last time he saw Uesugi Koshi and the first time he met Genjiro, he didn't notice anything wrong at the time; he just felt that the man looked a little familiar.
Looking at it now, I realize it's the appearance of an old friend.
Chapter 140 They're afraid of you!
Just as evening approached, after the system finished reviewing Angers' detailed information, his phone rang. It was Erii calling to share something she had just learned.
After putting down the phone, the system turned to Xia Mi with a somewhat surprised expression and said, "Angers received the honor of being strafed by five machine guns as soon as he arrived in Japan."
Having just obtained information on Angers, it hadn't even figured out how to sell the Snake-Headed Eight Family to this Avenger when the Snake-Headed Eight Family self-destructed. It should have contacted them earlier and secured a good price.
However, with five machine guns lying in ambush and firing at close range, Erii said the opponent was not seriously injured. The world's number one hybrid is indeed powerful.
"Huh?" Xia Mi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then blurted out, "Does the Snake Clan not want to stay?"
Angers, as the principal of Kassel College, learned three hours earlier that he was on his way to Japan. However, three hours later, Angers was mowed down by five machine guns.
Did the principal of Kassel College arrive in Japan only two hours ago? Are the Snake-Headed Eight Families really that ruthless?
"It shouldn't have been done by the Snake Clan. They wanted to keep the matter of the White King's remains a secret from Angers, so they wouldn't have thought of such a brainless move as directly killing the principal of Kassel College."
"Those are the Demons?"
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but we'll see what Sakurai Kogure says about the Oni Clan later."
"The Demon Gang seems a bit much," Xia Mi said after a moment's thought. "Why would they use Angers to attract the attention of the behemoth that is Kassel College to Japan?"
"That makes sense. Let's take a look at the investigation of the Snake Clan." The system calculated the current situation in Japan.
Originally, there were three factions: the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune, and the King's Demon Clan. The Snake-Headed Eight Families and his side wanted to kill the White King, while Tachibana Masamune and the King's Demon Clan wanted to bring the White King out. Their purpose was unknown.
