Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

Their gazes grew increasingly intense, but before the excitement subsided, Sakurai Kogure quietly made her exit with the box.

Her mission was complete, and she boarded the luxurious elevator, which could only be opened by swiping a card and was covered in gold leaf.

She saw Genji wiping her knife in the white suite on the top floor.

"What are you crazy about?" Sakurai Kogure put the box on the table unhappily. "Auction wishes? You really dare to do that! Is this something that can be traded openly? Does the king know about this?"

Yuan Zhinv earnestly corrected her: "It's not an auction of wishes, it's an auction of folding knives, and some secrets will be included as a bonus."

Sakurai Kogure was so angry she laughed: "What secret does this sword hold? Why are you making such a fuss about it?"

"Do you know that after tonight, all of Tokyo, and even all of Japan and the world, will know about this absurd thing!"

When Yuan Zhinü heard this, she simply smiled.

How can we attract the owner of the folding knife without making a scene?

Chapter 21 Hilbert and Angers

Kassel College.

In the quaint and elegant principal's office, an elderly man with gray hair was gracefully brewing a pot of emerald green tea.

The old man was very handsome, with a tall and straight figure, and a bright red rose was pinned to the pocket of his black suit.

Hilbert Jean Angers, the principal of the College of Kassel, is the greatest dragon slayer in history, but outwardly he is just a debonair elderly gentleman, with no trace of violence about him.

Opposite the old man sat a strange man wearing a respirator. The man's face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, but his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a broken bellows.

"According to reliable sources, your folding knife somehow ended up in Japan, and someone is about to auction it off."

The old man asked with some confusion, "Japan?"

Von Schneider coughed a few times, his voice was very terrible, and the broken tube he used to breathe made a creaking sound. He paused for a long time before continuing to speak.

"It appears to be an auction manipulated by a Japanese mixed-race group, auctioning only folding knives, and supposedly including an amazing secret."

Angers scratched his head: "What kind of trouble is the Japanese branch causing? Are these lackeys finally planning a rebellion?"

Schneider pondered for a moment: "It seems to be not people from the Japanese branch, but another mixed-race organization, whose members are basically traitors from the Japanese branch."

"However, the information is inaccurate. Princess Kaguya is on high alert, and we know very little about the situation in Japan. We cannot rule out the possibility that this is a trap specifically targeting us."

“A trap…” Angers said thoughtfully, “Then we should definitely go and check it out.”

Schneider was somewhat surprised, and he subconsciously retorted, "If it's a trap set up in advance, this trip would be quite dangerous."

"So what? Someone stole my knife and even made a secret preparation. If I don't keep the appointment, I'll seem a bit unromantic."

The old man stood up with a smile, his eyes gleaming with a golden light.

……

The cherry-red longsword dripped with blood. Genji casually picked up a white cloth to wipe it away. In front of her, a headless corpse was still convulsing, and blood gushed out, soaking the wooden floor.

Sakurai Kogure squatted on the ground and skillfully threw the grotesque head into the trash can. While wiping the blood off her face, she complained, "You knew he was invincible, so why did you still kill him?"

Yuan Zhinv thought about it and gave the reason she had said countless times sincerely: "If you want to kill him, just kill him. I don't like him."

"The reason why the king is coming to see you now is definitely because of that auction. I knew he wouldn't just sit idly by. I think your auction is a bit risky."

"Even if you kill him, he will still come back to you when he is resurrected, stop you, and may even cause you trouble."

At this point, Sakurai Kogure paused, "So why did you organize this inexplicable auction? Everyone is watching us now. In just one day, I've already caught three groups of spies sent by the main family."

Yuan Zhinv didn't care at all and casually said, "Lock them up first, and release them after the auction. As for anyone who dares to cause trouble, just kill them."

Having spent three years with the Oni Clan, and spending every day with the extremely violent and dangerous Genji, and having to clean up corpses every few days, Sakurai Kogure has been toughened up.

Hearing such bloody words, Sakurai Kogure showed no reaction, as if it were commonplace.

Although she never understood why Genjiro had done this, she subconsciously chose to believe her.

Trust is a truly inexplicable thing; it comes suddenly and inexplicably, yet it is as solid as a rock.

So even though Genjiro refused to say anything, and the King's attitude was clearly one of disagreement, Sakurai Kogure still chose to continue helping Genjiro, even if it meant going against the King.

During this time, not only the king, but everyone who tried to stop him had their heads severed by Genji's sword. Her resolute attitude demonstrated the importance she attached to this matter and her unshakeable decision.

Wang Jiang was unaware of the significance of this auction, and he never took the folding knife seriously. He didn't understand why Yuan Zhi Nu did this; he was simply unhappy that the matter had escalated too much.

However, over the past three years, Genjiro has often done things that are incomprehensible to people. Every time it is inexplicable, it is very much in line with the behavior of a madman, so the king did not take it to heart this time.

Yuan Zhisheng is about to return, and given Yuan Zhinu's resolute attitude, he doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble for the time being, so he simply lets it go. He has absolute confidence that Yuan Zhinu, who is always under his control, can't cause any trouble.

The auction was held as scheduled.

Genji did not show up; she stayed alone in the suite on the top floor of the Paradise Mansion, waiting for the person who won the auction to be brought up by Sakurai Kogure.

She wasn't sure if Angers would go to Japan because of a folding knife, or even if he would participate in the auction.

But she really had no other choice. Wang was keeping a close eye on her, and she couldn't even contact Kassel College; the college had to come to her.

Therefore, she had to make a big fuss about it.

If it were someone else who came up, she would have Sakurai Kogure treat the other guests as usual, fulfilling some of their shady desires. She knew the king wouldn't care about such a small act of capriciousness.

She will think of other ways.

However, Genji knew that she didn't have much time left, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Her uneasy heart suddenly settled when she saw Sakurai Kogure leading the handsome old man up.

This old man seemed to possess a magical power; seeing him brought a sense of peace, as if he could handle anything with his composure, as if even if the sky were to fall, he would be the first to hold it up. You could simply find a corner behind him and continue pacing back and forth.

Yuan Zhinv saw absolute confidence in him, just like the Western aristocrats of the last century, who remained calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of them, and just laughed it off even if the enemy's throat was locked by a knife.

Yuan Zhinv did not know what the principal looked like, but after seeing this person, she felt that Hilbert Jean Angers, that legendary man, could only look like this.

She calmly said to Sakurai Kogure, "Please allow me to be alone with this guest for a while."

Sakurai Kogure looked at her with some concern, wanting to say something but stopping himself. However, in the end, he said nothing. He nodded and went out, closing the door behind him.

There were only two of them left on the huge top floor.

Yuan Zhinu bowed to the old man: "Hello, Principal. I'm sorry that this is the only way I can meet you."

Angers was also somewhat surprised. He looked Yuan Zhinü up and down. This girl seemed humble and polite, but her aura was like a sharp knife, carrying a bloody killing intent. Just one glance would burn you.

Those were people who had truly survived countless hardships.

But that wasn't what surprised him.

"I was accompanied by a student who had just graduated from school and was returning home. His name is Genjiro."

He looked at Genjiro's face, which was almost identical to Genjiro's, and asked, word by word, "What is your relationship with him?"

Chapter 22 is just a resentful avenger.

Has Genjiro already returned to Japan? Or did he travel on the same plane as Angers?

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Yuan Zhinv was momentarily stunned.

She wasn't unaware that Angers would come, but knowing full well that this might be a trap, wasn't it a bit arrogant to be so blatant and undisguised?

However, it's understandable. The Japanese branch and such might not mean much to this legendary principal, at least not as important as his folding knife.

Feeling a little emotional, Yuan Zhinu did not hesitate and answered truthfully.

“Yuan Zhisheng is my twin brother. My name is Yuan Zhinu, the second daughter of the Yuan family.”

Angers looked her up and down with some surprise: "Didn't the Yuan family lose its bloodline a long time ago? It's one thing for Yuan Zhisheng to suddenly appear many years ago, but how come there's a second daughter?"

Why has the Japanese branch never publicly acknowledged your existence?

The gentlemanly old man narrowed his eyes slightly. His expression didn't change much, but a sense of oppression inexplicably arose, making one feel suffocated for no reason.

"Finally, student, I hope you will answer me truthfully why my folding knife ended up in your hands."

"I obtained the folding knife by accident. I made all this commotion in order to see you. The sudden appearance of Genji and me was premeditated."

With a serious expression and a sincere tone, Yuan Zhinv said to Angers, "This is a very long story, so I hope you can give me some time."

"of course."

Angers smiled slightly, and the invisible pressure vanished instantly. He transformed back into the gentle old gentleman, even cracking a small joke with his student's sister:

"I spent so much money to bid on my own folding knife, so naturally I have to hear the secrets behind it."

After a moment's thought, Yuan Zhinü carefully began, "The story begins decades ago in northern Siberia, within the Arctic Circle, where there was an unnamed port accessible only by icebreakers..."

Yuan Zhinü was not a good storyteller, and many details were already blurred, but her calm voice, which had no ups and downs, had a magical power that could inexplicably calm people down.

She calmly led the listeners back to the cold winter of 1991, to the solitary fortress called Black Swan Harbor on the shores of the Arctic Ocean and the chalky snowfields of Siberia, with its keel, secret research institute, orphanage, and a fire that illuminated half the sky.

"Finally, Herzog took the ancient dragon embryo aboard the Lenin. The giant ship sailed eastward, toward Japan, and finally sank into the deep sea."

"Now, beneath the strait of Japan, the Lenin and the embryo of the ancient dragon are trapped. They are sacrifices carefully chosen by Herzog. The fresh blood of the embryo nourishes the true master of the strait, a sleeping dragon. What Herzog truly wants to resurrect is the White King."

"He played two roles, appearing out of nowhere more than 20 years ago. He manipulated the Japanese branch as Tachibana Masamune and the Demon Clan as the King. He played the whole of Japan in the palm of his hand, and everyone was completely fooled by him."

“My brother and I are both pawns controlled by him.” At this point, Yuan Zhinv paused, revealing a slightly self-deprecating smile: “But I’m not a very obedient pawn.”

"I tried to sabotage his plans for more than three years and conducted all sorts of experiments, but I failed. I killed more than a hundred of his clones, but I never even saw his real body."

“I don’t have any evidence either. I’ve gathered all this information from my contacts over the years, but the time, location, and port are all real. You can check them.”

After the story was finished, there was a long silence.

Angers remained silent throughout, quietly playing with the folding knife, his eyes lowered as if deep in thought.

His face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he thought after hearing the story.

Yuan Zhinü didn't speak either. She had said everything she wanted to say. She had laid out everything she knew, and even predicted things that hadn't happened yet. All that was left was to wait and see.

Enemies are everywhere in Japan. Genji can't find suitable allies here. Her father is nowhere to be found, hiding in some corner selling ramen. Her brother is a stubborn idiot. So she has no choice but to take a risk.

At least Angers was the most suitable ally she could think of. Compared to others with different intentions, Angers was the purest. All those who wanted to resurrect the dragon were his enemies. From this point of view, they were on the same side.

Therefore, she will do everything in her power to persuade Angers that she needs the help of the Kassel College.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Genji was beginning to feel uneasy and anxious, even doubting that she would receive an answer, Angers finally spoke slowly and deliberately.

"A very interesting secret," he commented casually. "Worth the price."
