Paul would never kill innocent people without a commission, and so over the years, the suppressed murderous intent was almost overwhelming his reason.
The slight trembling of the body was a sign of anticipation of the impending killing.
at the same time.
After shaking off the enthusiastic young girls, Angers, along with Cao Han and Elizabeth Laurent, chose a relatively secluded beach chair to lie down on the beach.
"Try it, it's a famous cocktail. Oh, and Elizabeth's freshly squeezed juice."
"Pshaw~ Who wants to drink freshly squeezed juice anyway?"
It was clear that Elizabeth Laurent was a little resentful at being treated like a little girl by Angers, but she was powerless against him and could only take a couple of big sips before putting the food aside.
It is often said that children from poor families mature early, but in certain situations, children from wealthy families can also mature early.
For example, in the Laurent family, the former head of the family died young.
The Laurent family and the Göttingen family are quite similar in their circumstances, yet there are some differences.
"Elizabeth's parents both died in a plane crash without any warning or indication. Despite using all available resources to investigate, they couldn't even find out who the killer was."
"Plane crash? The hand of other mixed-race people?" Cao Han raised an eyebrow.
This should be considered a secret of the secret society family, right?
Is it really okay to say this to him in broad daylight and in front of everyone?
“I don’t know,” Angers shook his head helplessly. “Her parents were both elite mixed-race individuals with A-grade bloodlines, and they were on a private plane. Logically speaking, the possibility of them dying in a plane crash is infinitely close to zero.”
My assessment is that the two were attacked on the plane.
The so-called plane crash was merely a deliberate attempt by the perpetrator to destroy evidence.
However, personal judgment is just that—personal judgment. Without any evidence, even Angers is like a mouse trying to pull a turtle—there's nowhere to start.
Knowing that telling Cao Han about this wouldn't help, Angers was just laying the groundwork for what he was about to say.
"The Laurent family is one of the largest syndicates in Europe, mainly engaged in mining and finance, and is also the second largest contributor to the college annually on the board of trustees, after the Gattuso family."
You can probably clearly sense the Gattuso family's attitude from the board meeting just now.
Rather than training elite dragon slayers, they'd rather Kassel College become an arsenal to produce 'weapons' for their families!
After listening to Angers' words, Cao Han understood the deeper meaning behind them.
First, they elevated the status and importance of the Laurent family, and then they put the Gattuso family in opposition to them.
They say that people become wiser with age, and that's really true!
"Have you heard of the First Law of Alchemy, Principal?" Cao Han asked in return.
"The principle of equivalent exchange?"
“That’s right, I believe that effort and reward are proportional. So, what do I need to give up to gain the support of the Laurent family?”
Conditions like "taking care of one or two people" are too broad.
As for providing support at the board meeting, it is unlikely that Cao Han, who just received the title of "honorary board member," would do so.
This title is a double-edged sword. While it gives him absolute autonomy, it also temporarily prevents him from having the same rights as other school board members.
Just now, I was in the same room as Cao Han, and my life was in someone else's hands. Anyone who values their life would not refuse.
I'm sure the next board meeting won't be like this.
It's hard to say about other things, but it's certain that the school board members will bring sufficient security when they attend.
Although all of this was in vain for Cao Han.
Do you think we can win the final battle against the dragons?
"It was hard to say before, but it's definitely true now!" When Cao Han transmigrated, a certain old thief hadn't even finished writing the finale yet.
However, according to the conventions of novels, even if they win, it will definitely be a Pyrrhic victory.
This reminded him of a Japanese anime he had once watched called "Killing Blade," and he figured the final ending might be a good reference.
however!
Now that Cao Han has become a variable, the outcome is completely different.
Besides the visible gains in evolution points and bloodline progress from the battle with the White King, the biggest hidden gain was a rough comparison of strength.
Although it may not be entirely accurate, at least there is a number.
As long as he can complete one last evolution before the Black King is resurrected, increasing his physical and mental strength sevenfold from its current level, Cao Han is confident he can easily defeat the resurrected Black King.
Angers was taken aback by the resolute confidence in Cao Han's answer.
He had asked the same question to every one of his old comrades in the secret service, and Cao Han was definitely the most confident one.
“I also think we can win,” Angers said, but there were some things he kept to himself, “but I may not live to see that day come.”
You've probably heard the story of the dragon slayer who eventually becomes the dragon himself, right?
"Principal, are you referring to the division of spoils after victory?"
Having lived two lives, Cao Han could easily understand what Angers was trying to say.
It's simply that once the threat from the dragons is gone, the hybrids can be considered the "uncrowned kings" of this world.
This inevitably leads to a massive reshuffling of the global power structure among mixed-race individuals.
“That’s right.” Angers readily admitted, “As long as I’m alive, no one in the Laurent family will dare to touch Elizabeth. Sooner or later, she will be able to become like her father.”
What I'm really worried about is the covetousness of other families.
Here we go again!
Cao Han almost wanted to facepalm. Is it true that older people always like to make arrangements for their final days?
As we were talking, we somehow ended up going back to the topic we had discussed in the car.
“Cao Han, you’re all alone in this world, and Elizabeth is pretty much the same. Why don’t you two just get together?”
His words were so startling that they left both of them speechless.
Elizabeth Laurent was initially surprised by what Angers was thinking, but for some reason, she couldn't help but look down and secretly scrutinize Cao Han.
It has to be said that there are no ugly mixed-race people, and the more you look at Cao Han, the more you feel that he has a certain charm.
"If it were him..."
Elizabeth was also a little startled by her own sudden thought, and immediately blushed and lowered her head.
It's said that Western girls are more mature and open-minded, but Cao Han didn't expect her to be so precocious and open-minded.
If his eyesight is fine, no matter how mature the other person dresses, he cannot hide his true age of fourteen or fifteen.
If this happened in China, it would be...
Three years minimum, death penalty maximum!
Chapter 131 You've kicked a steel plate, haven't you?
Forced melons aren't sweet, but they quench your thirst!
Angers was well aware that the views on love between young men and women today were completely different from those of his generation, so he just gave it a try.
If it succeeds, you'll make a fortune; if it fails, you won't suffer any loss.
Elizabeth's biggest obstacle to taking complete control of the Laurent family is her own strength; relying on outsiders is never as effective as relying on one's own people.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Cao Han didn't want to continue the topic, so he suddenly asked, "Principal, I heard that you were a member of the Lionheart Society in the early days of the Secret Party?"
“Yes,” Angers said in a deep voice.
The name Lionheart held an indelible meaning for him.
"So it's true that the Lionheart Society has some unknown way to become stronger?"
"How to become stronger?"
Angers immediately understood: the little fox was trying to play the innocent card in front of the old fox.
These are just hearsay and legends; they might fool an uninformed layman, but they're nowhere near enough to fool the person directly involved.
"Cao Han, you mean the Blood Explosion Technique, right?" Angers asked bluntly.
According to Cao Han's observation, Elizabeth Laurent's expression did not change at all when she heard about the technology, indicating that she must have been familiar with it beforehand.
In fact, this technique was not created by the Lionheart Society, but was restored by the first generation of Lionheart Society members. Its predecessor was a forbidden technique called "the path to godhood" by the pure dragon race.
There were hybrids who mastered the Bloodlust technique even before the Lionheart Society.
If I remember correctly, when Caesar was fighting outside Nibelungen in the capital, he used Bloodlust to temporarily push his dragon bloodline beyond the critical limit, allowing his Word of Power to advance from Kamaitachi to Vampire Scythe.
The main reason this technology is listed as taboo is because it carries significant risks.
Dragonization will occur at each stage of the Bloodlust, and the degree of dragonization will gradually increase as the Bloodlust level increases.
The Bloodlust effect has a time limit. After the Dragon Blood dissipates, the user will feel exhausted, as if their energy has been completely drained. The side effects are huge and will significantly shorten the user's lifespan.
It's like making a wish to the devil for power; those with weak wills will succumb to it and completely degenerate into Deadpool.
The Secret Service has learned a bloody lesson for this!
One second they were comrades fighting side by side, the next second someone, due to a blood rush, became a Deadpool, completely losing their mind and slashing at their comrades.
Therefore, this forbidden technique was sealed away by Angers within the Lionheart Society, and over the years very few people have been taught it.
If it were someone else who mentioned it, Angers might still hesitate, but Cao Han was the exception. "When you go back to school, you can go and look at the books in the Norton Library. The answers you are looking for are in there."
"I do not want."
"Why?" Angers turned his head to look at Cao Han in surprise.
"Don't you already know the answer? Just tell me directly~ We're not playing some level-based game where you have to complete a long series of tasks to get a martial arts manual."
Angers: "......"
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth couldn't help but burst out laughing.
In the short time they've known each other, her curiosity about Cao Han has been steadily increasing. It's said that falling in love with someone always starts with curiosity.
Pretend to preach thousands of books, but truly preach one sentence.
