In previous school board meetings, he had the support of other school board members, but this time he was outnumbered and outmatched by only one person, so he was no match for Angers, this "old fox".
Seeing this, Frost, having failed with one plan, decided to use a roundabout strategy: "I can agree to use the keel cross of the next generation for the Nibelungen Project, but I propose that each board member nominate one candidate for the position and then vote on it!"
If you can't beat them, join them!
Frost's move was brilliant; a small suggestion instantly turned him from a minority to a majority.
To be fair, this proposal has made the previously neutral school board members somewhat tempted.
Based on the effects of the Nibelungen Project, it is possible to enable hybrids to transcend bloodline limitations...
They were all thousand-year-old foxes, and without exception, their first thought was naturally to break through from A-grade bloodline to S-grade.
Even if they dare not risk being guinea pigs, it doesn't prevent the family from having another descendant with S-class bloodline.
A person who has no immediate worries will surely have distant troubles!
Given their status and position, school board members should consider things more from a family perspective. If a family can produce an outstanding descendant with S-level bloodline, their influence will undoubtedly experience a long period of growth.
“Alright, since Frost, the acting school trustee, wants to vote, let’s call the elders as well.”
If Frost's proposal was a checkmate for Angers, then Angers's words were a complete and utter kill!
Don't assume that including the elders in Angers is a benevolent act.
Anyone who knows how the Council of Elders came to be wouldn't think that way; they were all old families that made up the Secret Society.
However, when the Secret Party rebranded itself as Kassel College, disagreements arose, and due to its inability to adapt to the new era, it was replaced by a newly emerging and powerful mixed-race family.
One thing that cannot be changed is the identity of these members of the old family secret society.
As for Angers, an elder of the Lionheart Society, their relationship with them wasn't quite as extreme as being inseparable, but in terms of stance, he undoubtedly stood on Angers' side.
With this, coupled with the Senate's vote, Frost knew with a grain of salt that his wishful thinking would completely fail, and his face immediately turned ashen and he looked extremely ugly.
Children talk about personal preferences; adults only talk about interests.
Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage in choosing a person to carry out the Nibelungen Project with this second-generation dragon body, Frost's eyes darted around and he had no choice but to settle for second best and try to gain as much benefit as possible. "Then I take back my previous proposal, but the process of carrying out the Nibelungen Project must be shared with us in sync!"
Frost firmly believed that the Gattuso family would one day hunt down a second-generation dragon and obtain the Dragonbone Cross; it was simply a matter of how much they would have to pay.
Therefore, obtaining detailed information on the implementation process of the Nibelungen Project is essential and a necessary precaution!
"can."
As long as the overall direction of "slaying the dragon" remains consistent, Angers feels that he is quite easy to talk to.
Even though the school board members always tried to impeach him for his extravagant spending of public funds, he never cared.
The matter concerning the next generation of dragon bodies has finally come to a temporary end.
Just as the other board members thought the meeting was about to end, the monk board member who had been silent suddenly rang the bell in front of him.
All eyes immediately focused on him.
Age spots were clearly visible on his aged face, his cloudy eyes seemed half-open and half-closed, and his voice sounded nonchalant as he spoke, “Principal Angers, shouldn’t you explain why newly enrolled S-class students have been sent to the Japanese branch on a mission?”
If it were a regular trainee on a mission, it might not be a big deal, but if it's Cao Han...
The school board members had no choice but to refocus their attention on Angers.
The board members had a somewhat conflicted attitude toward Angers. They couldn't live without this powerful tool for slaying dragons, but they also didn't want him to have too much power and completely control the Kassel College, preventing them from getting involved.
"According to intelligence, a bloodline evolution drug has appeared in Japan. Considering the complexity of the environment there, I believe that sending S-class cadets is the best option!"
Of course, Angers' words were quite official and watertight.
Normally, it wouldn't be necessary to directly dispatch executive officers for such unverified intelligence.
The truth is that Genjiro ended the exchange early to return to the Japanese branch, and Cao Han strongly requested to go to Japan to carry out a mission.
Having no other options, von Schneider could only assign this as part of the mission to Cao Han and his team.
The monk school board member gave Angers a thoughtful look before saying nothing more.
However, his sudden move at the end served as a good reminder to the other board members.
On the surface, he appeared calm and indifferent, but in reality, he had already made up his mind to send his subordinates to investigate thoroughly after the board meeting.
……
Tokyo, Japan.
The location of the Kansai branch, one of the two major branches of the Kassel College Japan branch.
As the branch leader, Akechi Asuya arrived early at the gate of the compound and waited quietly. There were rows of people in black suits standing on both sides.
The only exposed skin can be vaguely seen with large areas of tattoos.
These are all members of the Snake Clan.
A long, luxurious limousine slowly pulled up in front of the camp. The moment the rear door opened, everyone, including Akechi Asuya, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and shouted in unison:
"Parents!"
The person who stepped out of the car was none other than Tachibana Masamune, the current head of the Snake Clan.
With a smile on his face, he looks like a kind old man. People who know him well like to describe this patriarch as having "the face of a bodhisattva but the methods of a demon."
"There's no need to make such a big show every time you come."
"Hi!"
Akechi Asuya had only straightened up for less than two seconds before bending over again. He readily agreed, but in his heart he was thinking he would do the same thing again next time.
After welcoming Tachibana Masamune into the branch, Akechi Asuya reappeared at the door.
Less than five minutes later, another car arrived, but this time the person who got out of the car was Inuyama He, the head of the Inuyama family, one of the five outer families.
Inside an antique-style room in the Kansai branch.
The person in charge, Akechi Asuya, personally served tea to the patriarch Tachibana Masamune and the head of the Inuyama family, Inuyama Kazuya.
"This morning we received official notification from the academy. The Executive Department has dispatched an elite team to the Japanese branch to carry out a mission."
"What mission?" Inuyama He asked in surprise, blurting out instinctively.
The relationship between Kassel College and its Japanese branch has never been particularly good, and has been more superficial.
Akechi Asuya seized the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him: "Headquarters hasn't interfered in our affairs for decades, so why is it happening so suddenly this time...?"
“No one knows what Angers is thinking; and no one can stop Angers from doing what he decides to do! For so many years, this man’s folding knife has always been held to our throats.” The old man took a sip of tea, his eyes shining brightly.
The mere mention of the word "Angers" is enough to silence anyone.
Inuyama He remained silent for a long time: "Could it be related to that?"
What seemed like a riddle was immediately understood by the other two, who knew perfectly well what the other meant: a matter of utmost importance that was clear to all the higher-ups of the Snake Clan.
Excavation of the "Takamagahara" burial site for deities!
Tachibana Masamune dared not make a hasty judgment, and could only prepare for the worst in his heart. "The details of the mission are classified and have not been disclosed, so we don't need to panic."
Judging from the resumes sent from headquarters, the one that deserves our most attention is Cao Han, a freshman with an S+ pedigree rating.
"Understood. Do we need to send someone to monitor their every move 24 hours a day?"
"Don't try to be clever like that. The consequences of provoking an S-class are not something we can easily bear." Tachibana Masamune then changed the subject, "What I mean is to treat them well with the hospitality we have shown them."
"understood!"
Among the Eight Families of the Snake Clan, the Inuyama family is in charge of the sex industry, and their sphere of influence is located in Osaka.
This is why Tachibana Masamune specifically invited Inuyama Kazuya to the event.
"Kabuki theaters, adult entertainment venues, brothels, love hotels... I will fulfill any request made by the executive department specialists to the best of my ability, so that they will be able to indulge in the pleasures of love while carrying out their missions and will have no interest in anything else."
Inuyama He stroked his mustache smugly; he knew how to grasp the key points.
"I hope so."
Fortunately, it wasn't all bad news. At least Genjiro's return from Kassel College was definitely good news for Tachibana Masamune.
Some long-planned projects should be implemented as soon as possible after Yuan Zhisheng takes the seat of the Executive Bureau Director.
Watching Inuyama He and Akechi Asuya leave, Tachibana Masamune, alone in his room, fell into deep thought for a long time.
----------
Cao Han's arrival changed some things and disrupted some people's plans.
For example, in the business class of a flight from China to Tokyo that was slightly later than Cao Han and his group's flight from Chicago to Osaka.
Su Enxi's little mouth was stuffed full of potato chips, making her look like a little squirrel eating. She didn't forget to utter indistinct words such as "heartless boss" and "unscrupulous capitalist".
Cao Han's act of having Lu Mingfei awaken his dragon bloodline ahead of time naturally led the little devil Lu Mingze to secretly monitor his every move.
This trip to Japan was conducted through legitimate channels; the departure, flight, and entry were all traceable. It could be said that Cao Han didn't care at all that his whereabouts would be exposed.
The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart!
With accolades such as "S+ bloodline level" and "second-generation dragon slayer," many people subconsciously suspect that there might be some hidden meaning behind his move to the Japanese branch.
Those with a more exaggerated imagination might even speculate that this time they're going to the Japanese branch to slay a dragon.
"What do you have to complain about? I'm the one doing the fieldwork, not you."
"I was just standing up for you, but you're really biting the hand that feeds you. You don't appreciate my kindness."
"You little potato chip girl, are you calling me a dog?"
"You admitted it yourself, I didn't!"
The flirting between the two beauties was undeniably a beautiful sight, but unfortunately, the entire business class was booked by the "Potato Chip Girl".
After playfully fighting for a while, the two of them both chose to lie down, filled with uncertainty about their upcoming trip to Japan.
The boss's order was simple: find a way to monitor the man's every move.
The problem is coming!
Mai Shude had witnessed firsthand how ruthless that man was. Even a half-blood driving a bronze throne couldn't withstand a single punch from him. With her small frame, she might be either dead or crippled if she were to get touched by him.
Chapter 72 A Balance of Kindness and Strictness
"This flight is about to arrive at Osaka International Airport. Please take your belongings with you..." A gentle, mature female voice came over the airplane announcement.
