According to the "Dragon Bloodline Theory", the dragon bloodline in offspring born from the union of a hybrid and an ordinary person will be further diluted by the human bloodline. Only in the rare case of "atavism" will the bloodline concentration surpass that of the parents.
In order to maintain the purity and concentration of the dragon bloodline within their clans and to avoid the problems caused by inbreeding, intermarriage between these families, which have been passed down for countless years, has become an inevitable choice.
This is the case between the Gattuso and Göttingen families.
A simple "Uncle" is worth more than anything.
After three board members took the lead, the remaining board members naturally could no longer remain in a position of power.
First of all, Angers goes without saying; he can directly say that Cao Han is his student, so his attitude couldn't be clearer.
"veto."
Elizabeth Laurent rang the brass bell in front of her for the first time; her slightly immature voice conveyed a sense of unwavering resolve.
"If Cao Han is truly a dragon, what is his purpose, or rather, his intention, in infiltrating Kassel College and joining our Secret Party?"
"You've all witnessed their strength firsthand. To put it bluntly, if they were truly dragons, perhaps only Principal Angers among us would have a chance of survival."
The board members all looked at Elizabeth Laurent with slight surprise, not expecting that she, who looked like a socialite, would say such a rough but reasonable thing.
It can only be said that what Elizabeth said also reflects the doubts in the minds of many school board members.
Seeing this, the middle-aged, balding school board member, who had always been a "middleman" and a peacemaker, also followed suit and expressed his rejection of Frost's proposal.
The initially one-sided situation was brought back into balance by Elizabeth's words.
Frost was not surprised that Elizabeth chose to side with Angers, just as he was 100% certain that Elsa Gottingen would stand by his side.
The last vote he really wanted to win was from the bald, middle-aged school board member who was neutral. Unexpectedly, this time, the one who was usually the most indecisive was very resolute.
3: 3!
It's like they were taught by the same master; I can't break their moves!
“I admit that what School Board Member Elizabeth said also makes sense, but that does not rule out the possibility of suspicion about him.”
The second-generation dragon-bodied being was beheaded in a single blow by him; even the White Emperor, who only existed in mythology, was killed by him. To be honest, I even began to suspect that he might be the Black King resurrected...
Hilbert Jean Angers, as the principal of Kassel College, did you conduct a thorough investigation and pedigree test before admitting someone of questionable identity?
Frost's further analysis was well-reasoned and supported by evidence. Apart from the old monk who remained unmoved like the roots of an old tree, even the bald school board member who had just been on the opposite side subconsciously nodded in agreement.
Only after it was over did I realize that the person in question was still there. I turned my head and cautiously glanced at my left side, and only breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that there was no movement.
Elizabeth laughed sarcastically: "Kill the next generation and the White King? Doesn't Frost think your words are the best proof that Cao Han is not a dragon?"
Have you ever seen a dragon so stupid as to kill its former master in order to infiltrate the enemy's camp?
"You must understand that he was the high and mighty White Emperor, an being recorded in the bronze pillars as someone who, in the history of the dragon race, required the Black King's personal execution."
Pause for a moment to give the others space to process and think.
Elizabeth looked at Frost and continued unhurriedly, "As for your suspicion that he is the Black King, that's utter nonsense. I doubt even you would believe such a thing yourself."
Just then, a bell rang. It was Elsa Gottingen sitting next to her. "So, what kind of person is Cao Han in the eyes of the school board chairman, Laurent?"
Thirteen or fourteen years old is the age when young girls admire strength the most.
The young girl's eyes revealed curiosity. Supporting Frost was a matter between families, and it did not conflict with the fact that she had taken a liking to Cao Han at first sight!
Elizabeth Laurent was taken aback by the question.
Because most of her understanding of Cao Han came from hearsay, including information from the board of directors, family intelligence, and, more importantly, from Angers's account.
Before the formal meeting of the Board of Trustees, Angers and Elizabeth had already had private contact and exchanges.
The most discussed topic was one that was very likely related to Cao Han at the board meeting.
In order to gain Elizabeth Laurent's support, Angers will inevitably have to learn what kind of person Cao Han really is.
When the blonde girl saw that the other party remained silent, she pouted as if she was about to lash out, but the butler behind her gently reminded her in time, and she immediately composed herself.
Seeing the two sides arguing back and forth, Angers sneered and shook his bell, "Listen to this~"
Young people these days seem to understand things better than we old folks do.
"Frost, as for your rambling on about photos and videos, I don't think it's necessary to be so secretive. You're simply interested in this position I hold, so just launch your attack. If more than half of the board of directors supports you, I'll immediately step down and give way to you. There's no need to drag Cao Han into this; it's ridiculous."
Having said that, Angers's pair of dazzling golden eyes lit up as he surveyed the school board members present. "Judging by intention, not by deeds, a poor family has no filial sons; judging by deeds, not by intention, there are few perfect people in the world."
I think identity and lineage are meaningless; what's more important is what kind of person he is.
Although Cao Han has not been at Kassel College for long, his daily life is no different from that of an ordinary person. He is even a bit of a homebody. His biggest expense is just recharging in the game to buy some equipment, nothing more!
Can you imagine someone like this being a dragon?
He paused, then looked at Frost with a mocking expression. "As for questioning it based on the astonishing feat of killing the next generation and the White King, that's even more ridiculous!"
What are we?
We are the Secret Party, the largest violent organization among hybrids. We are fighting a war of life and death. Our soldiers are charging into battle and killing countless enemies, and you are now complaining that your soldiers are too strong.
Can I interpret this as Frost, you're worried that your soldiers are too powerful and threaten your position, or even... treason?
Angers' words were like daggers piercing Frost's heart.
It was practically a blatant insult to Frost, calling him a complete idiot! *beep*
His attitude couldn't be clearer.
Need something from me? Feel free to.
You want to come to my student affairs office? You're asking for trouble!
Frost suppressed his anger, preparing to refute Angers' words and launch an attack...
Tap! Tap! Tap! ...
His index finger tapped rhythmically on the table, the sound not loud, yet it seemed to have a direct impact on the hearts of everyone present.
All six people turned their eyes to Cao Han, who had remained silent since taking his seat.
"You're a Frost School Board member, right?" Cao Han's lips curled into a handsome smile. "You just said I'm a dragon, right?"
"Now, to answer your question, I am a dragon. And then?"
The word "arrogant" was practically written all over his face.
Frost, whose face was horribly gloomy from being provoked so closely, shook his copper bell and said in a serious tone, "Student Cao Han, watch your words!"
Just from what you just said, I can conclude that it's a provocation against our Secret Party.
To be honest, despite the large amount of evidence he had just presented to prove Cao Han's wrongdoing, he was caught off guard and unsure how to respond when Cao Han actually admitted it to him.
"Watch your words? What? Does that mean you're the only ones allowed to speak here, but I can't?"
If Frost thinks I'm being provocative, then so be it!
Since they're already enemies...
As soon as he finished speaking, an overwhelming and violent aura pressed down heavily on everyone's hearts again. Even though they did not sense any killing intent from the boy, the hostility he displayed was enough to make them break out in a cold sweat.
The board members present were all at the pinnacle of power in this world, and over the years they had cultivated a unique aura of authority. But under this explosive, bloodthirsty majesty, they were speechless for a moment.
Whether you possess immense wealth or the power to manipulate politics.
Standing before the boy, faced with absolute power, all they could do was await their fate!
Angers might be able to block it, but can he really stop it?
It hasn't been long since that kendo class; it's still so vivid in my mind.
Cao Han had fought against Angers before, and as for the final outcome, well, those who know, know.
Almost instinctively, Frost and the monk school board member with his rosary beads moved a few steps closer to Angers, a biological reaction to a crisis.
"Enough of the joking."
Angers's attempt to dissuade Cao Han was largely expected; among the board members present, perhaps only his words had any effect.
Upon hearing this, Cao Han readily extinguished his golden eyes and withdrew his imposing aura.
However, now that this had begun, he had no intention of letting it go so easily.
He pulled a small metal box from his pocket, and under everyone's puzzled gazes, pinched the contents with two fingers and gently tossed it onto the table.
The sound of metal colliding with wood rang out.
After the object stabilized, everyone could finally see it clearly...
Chapter 127: Close to the face and open up
"???"
Looking at the bullet-shaped toy that Cao Han had tossed onto the table, most of the school board members had blank stares on their faces, completely baffled by the purpose of this action.
There was one exception: Frost Gattuso.
Having personally delivered the Philosopher's Stone bullet to the Assassins, he immediately recognized its familiarity.
Especially the incredibly complex alchemical matrix engraved on the metal bullet head.
His expression remained one of lingering anger from being repeatedly rebuked by Angers and Cao Han, but for a fleeting moment, his pupils inevitably contracted slightly.
"This is an alchemical bullet, used by one of the assassins during the Shibuya incident some time ago. Based on my personal experience, the alchemical matrix engraved on it should have armor-piercing properties!"
An alchemical version of armor-piercing shells?
Have you even experienced it firsthand?
And yet he still appeared before them as if nothing had happened, full of energy and vitality?
hiss--
The middle-aged, balding school board member who had ultimately chosen to support Angers gasped in shock upon hearing this, while secretly congratulating himself on his decision.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these "Little Dragons" seem so fierce; in reality, most of them rely on the power of words.
Even though their physical strength has surpassed that of ordinary people, they can only avoid the sharp edge of modern heavy weapons.
Now that a freak like Cao Han has emerged who can withstand alchemical armor-piercing bullets, how could they not be surprised?
Even monsters need to follow science!
Elsa Gottingen, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, didn't think much of it. However, the butler who was acting as her bodyguard quietly changed positions and stood between the girl and Cao Han.
