A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 213 Taking advantage of the New Year to slay the dragon

“According to your custom, I should wish you a happy new year at this time.” Angers smiled and opened the lunchbox: “Well, I brought a bit too many dumplings.”

Caesar was also speechless. Looking at the ten boxes of dumplings lined up on the table, his lips twitched involuntarily. Fine, he simply took the two boxes that Chen Motong had packed from in front of Angers.

It was as if he was saying silently, "The remaining eight boxes are up to you, Principal," making Angers forget to keep smiling.

Lu Mingfei covered his face, thinking that only he and Senior Brother Fingel had received the text message. He didn't expect that Senior Brother Chu Zihang and the two senior sisters had also come over.

Everyone brought two servings of dumplings, and even filled them with dipping sauce, resulting in a strong, garlicky, and sour smell permeating the entire office.

When Lu Mingfei first came to the principal's office, he was a little nervous and apprehensive, but after coming there many times, he felt that the principal's office was just like any other office, no different from the dormitory.

It's just a bit more ornately decorated, and there's a bit more tobacco and alcohol.

"Ahem." Angers covered up his embarrassment, took a couple of bites, and then prepared to get down to business: "I called you here today because there is some top-secret information that I need to tell you."

Everyone else listened attentively. The principal had summoned so many elite students at once. Even someone as slow-witted as Lu Mingfei guessed that there was a top-secret mission when he saw this commotion.

Even though he guessed it, Lu Mingfei would still blurt out without thinking, "Is it going to be another mission involving Odin or the Dragon King?"

"No way, Principal, who goes to slay a dragon during the Lunar New Year?"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by Chu Zihang and Fingel, who sat up even straighter.

Although they already knew the exact location of Odin's lair through Mr. Fool's divination, they might have to risk an attack if they could get Odin's exact location from the headmaster.

Angers paused for a moment before putting down the lunchbox and picking up his wine glass again: "Hahaha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you clever people, especially you, Mingfei, our only S-class."

These words made Lu Mingfei extremely uncomfortable. "Please stop, Principal! Don't you know whether his S-level is inflated or not?"

To lighten the mood with a light joke, Angers, in a gossipy tone, dropped the bombshell: “We have clear secret intelligence.”

"The king of the earth and mountains is hidden in the capital!"

Caesar and Fingel were simply shocked by the King of the Earth and the Mountains, while the other four were starting to lose their composure.

Is a dragon king hiding in our own capital?
Goodness, you can't joke like that.

There are so many people in the capital; what if something were to happen...?

"Principal..." Lu Mingfei's smile was particularly forced at this moment: "You're joking, right? Ha, hehehe, it is quite funny..."

As he laughed, Lu Mingfei couldn't laugh anymore. Hey, hey, hey, that's the King of the Earth and the Mountains!
During the previous Philadelphia incident, Lu Mingfei also went to see the Philadelphia viaduct with his senior classmates.

After returning to the academy, Lu Mingfei listened to Professor Guderian's analysis. The immense power that twisted the viaduct like a pretzel was the authority of the king of the earth and mountains. Could they possibly deal with a dragon king of that level?
Unaffected by Lu Mingfei's nonsense, Angers was finally ready to bring out the intelligence that his boss had given him more than two months ago.

With the crisis in Kassel resolved, all the major hybrid factions around the world are engrossed in the alchemical techniques shared by Fingel and have no time to spare for anything else.

And most importantly, it's Chinese New Year!
This is the best time to slay the dragon.

"In fact, I obtained this information quite some time ago, but I'm only telling you now because it's the annual Spring Festival."

"All the migrant workers in the capital have returned to their hometowns. Even in the worst-case scenario, the casualties will be minimized and the impact will be reduced to the lowest level."

"This is an opportunity we absolutely cannot miss."

Caesar was the first to get excited: "Headmaster, is the intelligence reliable?"

Even after the last competition, Caesar had been desperately seeking further power. After inquiring with his family, Percy Gattuso offered two paths. One was a rumor: the Lionheart Society, a long-established organization in Kassel, possessed a unique secret technique that allowed one to temporarily unleash their power in exchange for a certain price.

The Gattuso family hadn't even gotten their hands on this technology; they'd only heard rumors about it.

Upon learning this information, Caesar immediately understood why Chu Zihang was so powerful and could rival Genjiro—it must be because he was using Lionheart Society technology!
Now that we know, things are much easier. The Lionheart Society has more than just Chu Zihang as its president. There are so many former presidents, some of whom are still alive and remember those records.

Caesar could always buy the Lionheart Society's internal documents he wanted by spending lavishly.

Through these materials, Caesar himself also learned how to unleash blood.

Another path is the explicit Nibelungen Plan.

The project, provided by Nicholas, the Kassel alchemist, watchman, and vice principal, is currently under review by the board of trustees.

The general plan is to use the dragon bone cross left after the Dragon King's death, and through alchemy combined with biotechnology, to comprehensively enhance the abilities of hybrids and create the strongest hybrid.

Of course, to take this path, one must first kill a dragon king and obtain the dragon bone cross left behind after the dragon king's death.

So Caesar is really into it now. He has learned Bloodlust and if he can use Bloodlust to defeat the King of Earth and Mountains and obtain the Dragonbone Cross.

He can become the strongest hybrid through the Nibelungen Project!
In this way, his former enemies, Yuan Zhisheng and Chu Zihang, will no longer be his match!
So Caesar is now too preoccupied to even care about the dumplings Chen Motong brought over, and is keeping a close eye on Angers.

Even though he had witnessed the fate of the Philadelphia Overpass, Caesar's desire to become stronger and his proud self-esteem did not allow him to be afraid.

Angers stood up with a smile and poured a glass of wine for each student: "Don't worry, after I received the intelligence, I secretly sent out an agent, an agent that only I know about."

"The specialist obtained data from the Beijing Earthquake Bureau and found that there are hundreds of small-scale earthquakes in Beijing every year, but the magnitude and intensity are too low for ordinary people to feel at all."

"But the relevant equipment will faithfully record every earthquake. After everything is digitized, we were surprised to find that the frequency of earthquakes in the capital has been rising in recent years."

"Especially last year, the frequency of earthquakes in the capital suddenly increased tenfold compared to the year before. Do you understand what that means?"

Lu Mingfei might not know, so Fingel habitually explained it to him: "Earthquakes in nature, although they change, cannot change so much in an instant. They are usually gradual, taking decades or centuries, but suddenly they can increase tenfold."

"This means there must be a supernatural influence, and it's increased tenfold. This supernatural being must be something quite terrifying within the supernatural realm."

Lu Mingfei wasn't truly stupid; he immediately understood Fingel's meaning: "It means, it means the King of Earth and Mountains is truly in the capital?!"

Before the two brothers could discuss further, Angers interrupted them: "The New Year holiday is only a little over a week long, and our time is very tight."

"Therefore, we cannot mobilize all students for the time being. We can only send most of the elite teams from the Executive Department, along with a team composed of you elite students, to subdue the King of Earth and Mountains!"

"So ladies and gentlemen, let's have something to eat together. In half an hour, the special train will arrive at the school gate and take you to the train station. A private car will be waiting there to take you to the airport."

"Don't worry, I will travel with you on my private jet."

"I'm sorry, Headmaster, there's an important change that I need to inform you of." While Angers was still speaking, Norma suddenly interrupted with a notice through the loudspeaker.

Angers clicked on it and his blood pressure immediately spiked. It was a post on a hunter website, a pinned post, posted by the user 'Black Swan,' who was none other than Su Enxi, whom Angers knew!

The post was even more significant, calling on all hybrids to head to the capital and kill the soon-to-awaken King of the Earth and Mountains!
The reward is one hundred million US dollars.

Boss, what exactly does he want to do?!

"Okay, we don't even have half an hour for dinner because of a small accident. I think we need to leave as soon as possible."
