A Maybach on a rainy night? Talk to my Levadin!

Large raindrops pounded the ground, splashing up layers of water. The city under the night sky was shrouded in a gray veil of rain, even the neon lights became blurred. The area where the mixed-race man and Zhao Zizhan had fought earlier was now completely cordoned off by the police and special agents, with police tape erected.

Anyone who dares to fire at armed police in a busy downtown area is no ordinary thug; we must strike hard!

In 04, public security was still a serious concern. A considerable number of people still owned firearms, and various organized crime groups were quite active. Street fights and extortion incidents occurred frequently. Some powerful gangs even dared to openly challenge local police stations. However, even so, it was quite rare for them to directly engage in a firefight with the armed police in a bustling urban area, even at that time.

What's even more unusual is that this incident also involves mixed-race issues.

In the past, such incidents involving non-human forces were either directly handled by the "orthodox" departments that specialized in dealing with supernatural events, or the "orthodox" departments would outsource the task to the executive department of Kassel College in order to save energy. But this time is different.

Within half an hour of the incident, both "Orthodox" and the Kassel College Executive Department received a strict order: neither party was allowed to interfere in the incident. Whether it was an agent of "Orthodox" or a student of Kassel, anyone who attempted to intervene in the investigation or rescue would be treated as an accomplice and killed without exception.

Are they innocent? No, they are not innocent. This operation by these mixed-race individuals was premeditated. They carried not only conventional firearms but also specially made concealed weapons designed to target humans. How could these things have escaped the authorities' notice? They must be thoroughly investigated.

The red and blue police lights added a unique touch to the rainy night. In the darkness, a small, jet-black snake slowly emerged from the murky ditch. Its scales gleamed coldly in the dim light. Its movements were swift and silent, like a black lightning bolt. It crawled along the wall to the feet of a man wearing a large raincoat by the roadside and slowly slithered down his trouser leg.

A few seconds later, the man raised his hand and pressed the earpiece hidden in his ear: "The target Zhao Zizhan's ability has been confirmed. The type of his Word of Power is unknown. His Word of Power is blood control, which has an extremely strong suppressive effect on ordinary hybrids. Judging from the appearance, his bloodline level is extremely high, and he is temporarily classified as S-rank. We need to pay close attention to him in subsequent operations."

"Received. Report on casualties."

"Eleven of our men have died and twenty have been injured, five of whom are seriously injured and their condition is unknown. However, all of our surviving compatriots have been detained by the human authorities in a temporary detention center and cannot be contacted for the time being."

"No need to worry, we will take charge of the rescue operation and keep a close eye on Zhao Zizhan. We will report any new developments immediately."

"Remember, do not act rashly and avoid revealing your identity."

“Understood, Long Live For The King”

“Long Live For The King”

PS: Ugh, the power's out again! I wish it would be the 15th already! I'm so fed up with these amazing roommates. Please let me be free!

Chapter 177 Guess who he is?

While everyone else was rushing around, Angers was still happily sipping his tea.

“It seems you have high hopes for that child.” Across from the laptop on the table was an old cowboy dressed somewhat strangely, wearing a plaid shirt and a rolled-brim hat.

The old man was holding a bottle of whiskey. He gestured to Angers and then took a big gulp. He was quite the drinker, even drinking Red Bull while driving. I mean, the red bottle of Niulanshan.

“I’m getting a little tired of this… It’s been over a hundred years. All my old buddies are dead. Thanks to the dragon bloodline, only you and I, the two old folks, are left.”

"So you can't wait to use the blood flowing from the dragon race to warm up your gradually cooling blood?"

There is a time lag in information between the East and the West. While the Kassel College on the other side of the world was stunned by Zhao Zizhan's single-handed defeat of the first-generation race, the hybrids on this side risked their lives to obtain a piece of intelligence.

That is, Zhao Zizhan possesses the ability to "control blood".

It's important to know that in the hybrid world, investigative incantations like the Vacuum Serpent are not uncommon. Any power that possesses such an incantation can easily find out the general situation here by sending spies to investigate.

Hybrids are not physically strong, and the release of their incantations is extremely taxing. Therefore, in most cases, battles between hybrids are intelligence wars.

Once you figure out the type of speech power the opponent uses and their weaknesses, the threat level will drop dramatically.

Probe, plan, then ambush—that's how hybrids hunt.

Despite the loss of several lives, these followers of the Black King felt that the sacrifice was worthwhile.

Now that they understood Zhao Zizhan's abilities, the next step was to develop targeted strategies.

However, news from Kassel will soon spread to all parts of the world through its own channels. The achievement of single-handedly defeating the first-generation race will make all hybrids start to think about whether their previous preparations are effective in the face of a powerful being capable of defeating the catastrophic first-generation race.

This is precisely why Angers got involved in that bet between the students and even proactively revealed some information about Zhao Zizhan.

1//

It was absolutely not to trick Fingel, absolutely not.

The purpose is to let everyone know that Zhao Zizhan is an ultimate ruthless person who single-handedly defeated the first generation of the race. If you dare to oppose him, he can make you fly.

Rather than letting Zhao Zizhan fall into unnecessary ambushes time and time again, it would be better to use this record to erect a deterrent barrier, so that those restless forces would not dare to act rashly.

Unlike the humorous stats of hybrid species, the stats of dragons, starting from the second generation, are quite impressive. The dragon scales of the second generation are similar to low-end vibranium, making them a very powerful material.

It has extremely high strength, harder than titanium alloy, extremely light weight, fireproof and waterproof, and also has the ability to absorb kinetic energy.

The Equipment Department of Kassel College once conducted an experiment, shooting the scales of the next-generation species with specially made armor-piercing bullets. The bullets not only failed to penetrate, but were also absorbed by the scales and bounced off without leaving even a scratch. Keep in mind that this was just a single scale that had fallen off. If a complete next-generation species were covered with layers of these scales, its defensive capabilities would be even more terrifying. Ordinary firearms would be nothing more than toys that tickle them, and traditional weapons would not even be able to cause them any effective damage.

The hybrids can't turn the scales of the next generation into weapons or even armor because they are incredibly rare.

There is only one such scale in the entire city of Kassel. It was discovered by Sven Hedin in Loulan in 1900 and is a secondary species of black dragon scale. It was later collected by Meneke Kassel and placed in the Kassel College.

If the second-generation species are already like this, the first-generation species will only be stronger. They can create hurricanes with a single breath, and their footsteps can crack the earth. Wherever their breath passes, even steel will turn into molten lava. What kind of character can repel such a creature?

This is a form of protection for Zhao Zizhan, making the mixed-race individuals hesitant to act against him while giving Zhao Zizhan more time to develop.

At the same time, it can also make Zhao Zizhan a target, a target that those dragons would fear and even kill.

He knew it was despicable, but as long as it would get Zhao Zizhan to kill one of the first-generation creatures, he would be willing to do it, even if it meant killing him afterwards.

"With Zhao Zizhan's power, we can resolve this war between humans and dragons once and for all in the time we have left. To achieve this goal, I am willing to die a worthy death."

"You want to destroy the dragons, instead of constantly preventing them from awakening?"

Angers laughed: "Hehehe... old friend, Ragnarok is coming."

……

"The situation is complicated right now. We are cooperating with the orthodox authorities and are conducting a full investigation into the mixed-race individuals involved in the attack. We cannot yet determine whether they will organize another attack, or even whether they have obtained more information about your family. Therefore, for your and your family's absolute safety, you will need to make do with staying here for now. Once the situation becomes clearer, we will arrange the follow-up matters as soon as possible."

At a base in the suburbs, Zhao Zizhan and his family listened to the explanation from the person in charge and had no objections. After all, the villa area had a complex population, many entrances and exits, and dense residential areas nearby, making it extremely difficult to control. A slight oversight could lead to a loophole. Compared to the military camp, the situation was much more complicated, and there was no safer place than this.

These days I can't travel around, but luckily I can delegate my business to the trio. Lu Mingze, you don't want your brother to lose his job, do you?

Staying put isn't a good idea, and I certainly can't just disappear into the house without a word and stay there all day; people would think I'm crazy.

But who is our Lao Zhao? He's Shilan Hubaoyi! As the leader, how could he be short of things to play with?

How can I gain a foothold among my brothers without some good skills?

When Zhao Zizhan arrived, he had already brought a brand-new PS3 game console, and he was currently playing Street Fighter in front of the TV screen.

After his rebirth, Zhao Zizhan possessed exceptional talent. In particular, with the continuous enhancement of his physique through blood magic and the ability of his dragon bloodline to step on his right foot with his left, his reaction speed was now extremely high, and his comprehension was also very strong. Operations that were previously impossible to execute were now as simple as drinking water. Although he hadn't been playing for very long, he had already defeated many experts in online battles.

But today, he met his match. Unlike a naturally gifted player like himself, his opponent was clearly a true master of the game. From the start of the match, his opponent's skills demonstrated exceptional professionalism. Every move was executed perfectly, his attacks were sharp and decisive, his defenses were impeccable, and his decision-making was so precise that he almost never made a mistake.

Zhao Zizhan could clearly sense that his opponent had a much deeper understanding of the game mechanics than he did, whether it was the cooldown time of character skills or the opponent's psychological predictions, they had it all figured out perfectly. As a result, this battle was extremely difficult for Zhao Zizhan.

After being stunned by a combo with the highest stun value, Zhao Zizhan was unable to unleash his subsequent moves. Instead, his opponent seized the opportunity and finished him off with a fluid combo. A "failure" message popped up on the screen. Zhao Zizhan let out a long sigh of relief. Although somewhat unwilling, he had to admit that his opponent was indeed stronger than him. Zhao Zizhan relaxed his shoulders and opened the opponent's profile to challenge them to another round.

However, Zhao Zizhan was stunned as soon as he clicked on it.

He stared at the ID on the screen, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. His fingers even paused slightly before he leaned closer to the screen and read it aloud, word by word: "えりいのPSN?"

PS: Chapter 2 is here! Sorry for the late update today, but I still want to let you all know that tomorrow's update will also be a little late, after all, there is a very important event for everyone in the morning. Brothers, today is September 3rd, wishing you all a happy 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War!

Chapter 178 When in doubt, consult your mother.

My buddy thought he was invincible because of his amazing reflexes, but then an enemy appeared out of nowhere. Seeing how well this guy was fighting, I thought it was just a kid. Turns out it was you.

As a long-time anime and manga fan, Zhao Zizhan knows a bit of Japanese and recognizes the name Erii.

Zhao Zizhan never expected that he would encounter this legendary little monster when he casually played a game of Street Fighter.

He stared at the screen for two seconds, his fingertips lingering on the controller for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face. He quickly typed a friend request, even using his not-so-fluent but sufficient Japanese: "もう一度挑戦します (Let's play another round?)"

Less than two seconds after the message was sent, a battle invitation popped up, so fast it was as if the other party had been waiting for this message.

Zhao Zizhan couldn't help but laugh. Heroes cherish heroes, and good men cherish good men. Since I know it's a little monster, then I won't hold back.

Zangief, start!

Zhao Zizhan fought much more seriously this time than before, but as the fight progressed, he noticed something was wrong—his opponent's skill level seemed to have plummeted, like a rollercoaster ride. The previous pressure was gone, his combos were frequently going wrong, and he was even making mistakes that only beginners make. Zhao Zizhan seized an opening, controlling Zangief to charge forward, unleashing a spiral pile driver followed by a series of fluid combos, and the word "KO" instantly appeared on the screen.

Zhao Zizhan raised an eyebrow. Had they changed the person in charge?

This time, the opponent didn't have the same overwhelming sense of suffocation as before. It felt like my cousin was watching from the sidelines, envious and wanting to try it out, only to be crushed into a meat patty by Zhao Zizhan's merciless chest muscles, sending him straight to hell with his Street Fighter dreams.

Considering the little monster's identity, it's probably the girl's older brother who's been hooked up. This brother-in-law's abilities are...not good enough..."

In the next round, the opponent chose Akuma, and the familiar oppressive feeling returned! As soon as Akuma appeared on the screen, he displayed a fierce offensive. His stance was steady, his parries were accurate, and his Shoryuken was deadly. This guy struck a thousand blows in an instant without even using light punches to test the waters. Zhao Zizhan was hit by a full barrage and was naturally knocked out again.

Okay, okay, it's back now?

The ensuing battle became a tug-of-war between the two. Zhao Zizhan's progress was so rapid that it was visible to the naked eye. At the beginning, he was easily suppressed by his opponent and could only barely hold on. Later, he was able to exchange blows with his opponent and fight for dozens of rounds. Finally, the two were evenly matched in terms of skill and awareness. Every game was difficult to determine, and the outcome was often decided by the slightest margin.

The new round had just begun, and relying on his familiarity with his opponent's operating habits, he accurately countered the opponent's initial grab attack several times in a row, constantly using small skills to regain control and gradually wear down the opponent's patience. Finally, after the opponent made a slight positioning mistake, Zhao Zizhan seized the opening he had been waiting for, quickly filled his rage meter, and controlled his character to move in close, unleashing a set of ultimate skills.

K.O!

Cool!

What do you mean by "little monster"? Do you even understand how to fight? You should learn my positioning moves!

Eriyi's PSN: "もうOnce again やろう! (One more time!)"

Want to come again? Sure, come on!

Zhao Zizhan agreed again, and the two began their fierce battle once more.

After a fierce contest between two people who were oblivious to the nature of the world, they were evenly matched, each having their own strengths and weaknesses, and neither side could gain the upper hand.

Zhao Zizhan stretched and sent a message.

Little Cat Egg Roll: "I'm not playing anymore. Let's rest for a while and play again next time. When are you free?"

Eriyi's PSN: "いつでも(Any time)"

"Let's talk about it tonight," Zhao Zizhan typed, just about to put down the controller to pour himself a glass of water.

Eriyi's PSN: "そうか, I will sleep tonight. (Okay, I won't let you sleep tonight)."

Jiuling Sanqi Jiulong

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zizhan choked on the water he had just drunk, coughing incessantly until his face turned red. "Sister, what are you saying? Is it okay to say such inappropriate things?"

Little Cat Egg Roll: "Children shouldn't talk about this."

Eriyi's PSN: "?"

Having relaxed a bit, Zhao Zizhan stopped looking at the game console news and strolled back to his room. He was currently unable to do anything. In fact, he had no doubt about the country's determination to deal with these mixed-race people—after all, those mixed-race forces lurking in the shadows had truly crossed the bottom line of society this time.

But to be honest, the countries in this world are somewhat different from the ones Zhao Zizhan had back then. After all, the Blue-Faced Beast had pulled off a major feat by sending missile destroyers into the Three Gorges area.

In this world, there are times when you have to admit that there are many gray and chaotic areas in the relationship between hybrids and humans.

The incident unfolded in a very subtle way. Zhao Zizhan knew the identities of these people, but the authorities were completely unaware of it. The orthodox and secret factions may have also figured out the details by now, but due to the blood pact and various other complicated reasons, they were unable to reveal the truth to the authorities.

So, what should be done with these prisoners, including the investigation into all hybrid factions? Do the hybrids really mean what they say, that they won't interfere in human political affairs?

actually not.

Many high-ranking officials have their presence there. They are not truly as reclusive and detached from worldly affairs as they claim. In reality, they are involved in the vast majority of power dynamics, no matter where they are in the world.

They simply choose to remain hidden when humanity needs them to step forward, even at the cost of their lives.

Hide this part.

Traditionally, matters involving mixed-race individuals should be investigated by the legitimate authorities. But what about this time? Can the legitimate authorities truly be trusted completely? What if they deliberately conceal certain truths to maintain the internal balance among mixed-race individuals?

However, if we don't hand it over to the orthodox authorities and let humans directly manage the affairs of hybrids, it will cause even more trouble.

Since that's the case, Zhao Zizhan gave them a simple solution.

It's simple, I'll just take action, won't I?

After confirming that there were no electrical signals monitoring the surrounding area, Zhao Zizhan silently teleported to Terra.

I need to hand over the matter to Raidian about not being able to continue supplying materials while I'm staying in the military camp these days. Also, I need to make proper preparations for my trip to Lungmen.

"You're saying that supplies can't continue for the next two days?"

Raidian confirmed with Zhao Zizhan.

"Yes, these past two days, because someone tried to harm me, our local government has taken protective measures against me. I haven't been able to continue purchasing supplies, so the supply of goods may have to be temporarily suspended. It will resume once I confirm that it is safe here. So everyone may have to work a little harder these next two days."

Upon hearing this, Raidian immediately waved his hand and said urgently, "The supplies aren't important! The supplies you sent before were already plentiful, and we've already secured the support of the local miners in Rembiton. We're now able to establish a supply cycle, so the temporary suspension of supplies on your side won't have a significant impact in the short term. But what exactly do you mean by 'someone is trying to harm you'?"

Zhao Zizhan scratched his head: "Uh... this is a bit complicated. You can think of it this way: the power I displayed when I summoned Surtr and the others to fight monsters has made some people who want to do bad things very wary, so they want to get rid of me to ensure that their plans are not affected."
