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

“Perhaps.” Angers calmly took a sip of strong liquor. He looked expressionless, but his eyes were like icebergs. “But the Japanese branch definitely needs some restructuring.”

“Something is playing tricks. Whatever it is, I only know that all those who want to resurrect the dragon should be buried in the ground.”

"If someone breaks a taboo, they should be punished."

……

At Shilan Middle School.

A thin boy stood by the window, quietly watching the torrential rain outside.

Midsummer weather is always hot and humid, and once the rain starts, it never stops.

At first, only fine drizzle began to fall from the sky, but gradually the drizzle grew larger and turned into raindrops the size of beans, as if a hole had been torn in the sky and rain was pouring down continuously.

In the distance, the rumble of thunder could be faintly heard; it was an extremely bad day.

School had let out early, and luxury cars were blocking the school gate, with car horns blaring everywhere.

Students passed by him in twos and threes, and many of them secretly sized him up, but he seemed oblivious to those gazes, simply watching the rain outside the window quietly.

It's been raining a lot lately, so Chu Zihang is always spacing out.

The phone in his pocket rang a few times, but Chu Zihang didn't look at it because he knew it wouldn't contain the message he wanted to see, just like how he could no longer see the person he wanted to see pick him up on a rainy day.

For the people of this city, wind and rain are commonplace. No matter how heavy the rain, Chu Zihang doesn't need to worry about not being able to get home. He just needs to call his family's driver, and someone will come to pick him up immediately.

No matter if it's windy or rainy, we will never let Young Master Chu's expensive custom-made clothes get wet.

But Chu Zihang didn't want to do that.

Because he knew perfectly well that he wasn't some young master Chu; his father was just a driver.

No matter how much time has passed, Chu Zihang always remembers that rainy night. It was the man's most dashing day, and also the day that should be remembered most.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but as darkness fell and the once noisy campus gradually quieted down, Chu Zihang finally withdrew his gaze.

He should go back.

But just as he turned to leave, he froze, because he saw a person standing in the rain behind him.

She was a tall, beautiful girl wearing a black trench coat and holding a black umbrella. She stood silently in the rain, her gaze calmly fixed on him, and it was unclear how long she had been watching him.

During the time he stood by the window watching the rain, the girl in the rain stood behind him watching him.

Chapter 26 A Never-ending Rain

No one knows when that girl appeared; she was like a ghost, silent and unseen, yet always watching you.

It was actually quite a bizarre scene. Everywhere was pouring rain, and a girl in a black trench coat was holding a black umbrella, standing motionless like an ancient statue. Only her deep black eyes could see into people's hearts.

Chu Zihang frowned slightly. This girl was unlike anyone he had ever met. She was like a drawn sword; just by being there, she exuded a chilling aura.

Swords are inherently dirty things, created specifically for killing. The more people they kill, the stronger the stench of blood becomes, until finally they can never be cleaned.

That girl gave off that feeling; no matter how well she disguised herself, the fierceness she possessed, honed through countless trials and tribulations, was undeniable, inspiring inexplicable fear and making people afraid to even look her in the eye.

It's as if even a single glance would hurt you.

The moment their eyes met, Chu Zihang saw a faint golden glint in the other person's dark eyes.

Then he realized that this was the person he had been looking for all along.

Even though he knew it in his heart, he still stood still, meeting the girl's gaze without fear.

As he was sizing up the girl, Genji was also observing him.

The boy was tall and thin, but not frail. Underneath his clothes were faint muscle contours, and he was quite handsome. However, his expressionless face was too cold, making him seem unapproachable.

Moreover, he clearly recognized that she was the person he was looking for, yet he stood still, as if he insisted on waiting for Genji to make the first invitation.

Like a very awkward child, even if they yearn for something, they stubbornly refuse to show it, being incredibly obstinate.

The two faced off silently, separated by wind and rain. Yuan Zhinü finally understood what Schneider's words from the original work, "You either invite him or you kill him," meant.

As expected, a murderer is a murderer. Entering a crazy school like Kassel only allowed his murderous nature to be fully unleashed.

There's obviously no reasoning with this brat.

Yuan Zhinu gave him a deep look, then turned and walked into the heavy rain.

The girl's departing figure was so decisive and swift that Chu Zihang felt a surge of immense loss. He instinctively wanted to speak, but no words came out.

He knew in his heart that this was the closest he had ever come to the truth, and that he was about to see the real world.

If he misses this opportunity, he may never be able to break free from his constraints and see the truth again in his lifetime.

But he just couldn't bring himself to say it, and he didn't even know why.

He watched helplessly as the girl's figure disappeared into the black rain.

With his eyelids drooping, Chu Zihang clenched his fists tightly at his sides. The veins on the back of his hands bulged out from the force, resembling small blue snakes.

His fingernails dug into his flesh, and the stinging pain kept drilling into his mind. Chu Zihang forced himself to remain calm, but his surging emotions still churned and clamored, and resentment lingered in his heart.

However, at that moment, a blinding headlight suddenly shone on, followed by a black Bugatti Veyron roaring in.

Just as they were about to crash into the school building in front of them, the girl in the car expressionlessly turned the steering wheel sharply. With a loud, ear-piercing screech of brakes, the front of the car came to a steady stop in front of Chu Zihang.

"Can you drive?" The girl, who had returned, rolled down her car window and asked him calmly.

Chu Zihang was momentarily at a loss for how to react, and nodded blankly.

Seeing him nod, Yuan Zhinu opened the driver's side door, tossed the car keys to him, and turned to go to the passenger side.

From beginning to end, the girl didn't utter a single unnecessary word.

Without an invitation or any attempt to test him, Chu Zihang inexplicably found himself in this top-of-the-line luxury car.

The black sports car drove away from the campus, like a nimble black fish, onto an empty road, raindrops hitting the car window with a crisp sound.

Chu Zihang was a very good driver, but at that moment he couldn't help but be distracted by looking at the girl in the passenger seat.

The girl gazed quietly out the window, her dark pupils reflecting the rain-soaked city. The hazy neon lights in the distance shone on her beautiful face, creating a dreamlike scene.

Although her face was expressionless, Chu Zihang inexplicably felt that she seemed unhappy.

She looked at the rain outside the window, but it was as if she was looking at something else through the rain.

The car was very quiet, with only the sound of raindrops outside the window. Chu Zihang had many questions in his mind, but he didn't know how to ask them.

Just as he was lost in thought, the girl's calm, even voice rang out.

"Focus on driving, I'll go straight to your house."

Chu Zihang was stunned. Before his brain could react, his hands had already done as instructed.

When he looked again, the mysterious girl had already closed her eyes.

Chu Zihang had no choice but to swallow back the question that was already on the tip of his tongue and concentrate on driving.

The girl didn't open her eyes until the car stopped in front of his villa, and casually uttered two words:

"Go down."

Chu Zihang did as instructed in a daze. He watched as the girl got out of the passenger seat, walked into the driver's seat, closed the door, and then the engine roared to life.

Chu Zihang didn't even have time to say anything before the sports car's exhaust fumes sprayed all over his face, and the next second all he could see were the taillights of the speeding car.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the girl, who was as sharp as a knife, didn't say a single word to him.

The girl appeared like a ghost and disappeared like a ghost, as if her purpose in appearing was only to take him home, or as if it was all just his illusion.

For once, Chu Zihang's perpetually icy face showed a look of confusion.

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhinv drove with one hand and answered the call from Schneider.

"Liuli, I think you've arrived at your location. Have you seen the child?"

Yuan Zhinv casually hummed in agreement. Schneider paused, then asked, "How was it?"

"He's alright, though. He seems a bit slow-witted." Yuan Zhinv recalled the boy's appearance and casually replied, "He's quite obedient though."

Hearing this, Schneider breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. This is the only hybrid we've had to contact in all these years. We need to keep a close eye on them."

“If there are no problems, you can take him back to school for a specific pedigree evaluation. I told you, this is your entrance exam.”

"I look forward to your answer."

Schneider hung up the phone.

Genjiro stared blankly at the road ahead.

Actually, she should have given Chu Zihang a proper introduction to Kassel College today, and ideally brought him back tomorrow. That way, she should be able to get a high score on this so-called entrance exam.

She rushed over as soon as she got off the plane. She was actually exhausted, but she forced herself to finish the task first.

She has remained the same all these years, whether she is dealing with the king, eliminating those out-of-control evil spirits, or completing those impossible tasks.

She knew that once she let up, she would become lazy and want to escape, so she kept pushing herself.

But after seeing the boy standing by the window, lost in thought, she didn't want to say anything more, and her anger dissipated instantly.

She thought of the town of Shikatri.

Whenever it rains in the town, the mountain roads become difficult to walk on. At these times, Yuan Zhisheng would bend down and carry her to school and back home.

Genjiro refused many times, but Genjiro stubbornly believed that as the older brother, he should take care of his younger sister.

Yuan Zhinü couldn't persuade him otherwise, so from childhood to adulthood, her memory of rain was watching raindrops fall into mud puddles through Yuan Zhisheng's shoulder.

Yet this same Genjiro cleaved her entire chest open with a knife, not even giving her a chance to explain before ruthlessly swinging the blade. She lay alone in the dry well, watching the torrential rain engulf her, quietly feeling the passing of life.

She still vividly remembers that biting cold.

Deep down, he probably still harbored resentment, which is why during his three years in Tokyo, even when he had the opportunity, he never contacted Genji.

The heavy rain in the town of Shikatri never seemed to stop, and through Chu Zihang's thin figure, Genji saw her former self.

They were both trapped in a relentless downpour.

Chapter 27 Those so-called predestined fates can all go to hell.

Yuan Zhinv found a place to stay at random.
