Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

The honorable Mr. Gattuso was pale and trembling all over, but his eyes were so hot and bright that it was as if molten steel had been poured into them.

Pompey naturally and shamelessly occupied the most prominent seat at the conference table in Valhalla. In the past hundreds of years, that position was usually occupied by the same person, whose name was Gilbert Jean Angers.

However, after the Japanese branch reported that the principal was seriously injured and temporarily placed in a life-support cabin with an extracorporeal circulation device replacing the opened heart for blood transportation, it was obvious that the college, in name only an educational institution, had fallen into a situation of leaderlessness. At this time, the seat at the conference table no longer explained anything, so let Pompey occupy it if he wanted.

Who made the Gattuso family suffer such a heavy blow this time?

Acting patriarch Frost Gattuso walked out of the Night Watch's alchemical matrix carrying a part of Norton's dragon bone cross, and used it as bait to lure Odin, who was still not sure which throne he sat on, into the trap. The moment Odin showed up, the orbital weapon called the Sword of Retribution, a supreme creation that combined technology and alchemy, was released. A full six speech spirits, Rhine, were released directly into the wilderness east of Chicago along with high-density tungsten rods that were accelerated to dozens of times the speed of sound. The elemental turbulence and geological damage caused were no different from a medium-yield nuclear explosion. Even half of Chicago's old city was devastated in this bombing. Those buildings that were built in the last century collapsed one after another in the terrifying shock wave, and the dust raised was almost hundreds of meters high.

Fortunately, the arrival of the Sword of Retribution triggered the prevention and control system deployed in Chicago. Citizens were evacuated to the maximum extent in a short period of time, and a large number of air-raid shelters built during the Cold War were utilized, so the casualties were not as serious as imagined.

This level of attack was used to kill the Dragon King. There was no chance that Frost would survive. The people from the academy conducted a carpet search of the explosion center before the Pentagon, but they could not find even a bit of human tissue. As for whether the god who was hit head-on was still alive, it was still an unknown.

In addition, the direct and indirect economic losses caused by the Sword of Retribution system owned by the Gattuso family may exceed 50 billion US dollars. The Pentagon also suspects that hostile countries are experimenting with hypersonic nuclear weapons in space and conducting test bombings on the US mainland. Now Washington is considering entering a level one combat readiness state.

If not handled properly, this matter will eventually evolve into a very serious international dispute, or even develop into a super war as large as World War II.

The only weapon in human history that could cause that kind of damage to Chicago is the nuclear bomb. The Pentagon will soon realize that its nuclear arsenal is still intact and sealed, and will naturally attribute the attack to a hostile country.

In addition to the martyrdom of the acting head of the family, there were also losses in Japan.

Caesar Gattuso, who had long been confirmed to be the next leader of Gattuso, was suspected of having a tendency to betray. In the end, when the immortals released by various families surrounded Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Eri, who was suspected to be the second generation or even the first generation, he helped them escape from the scene. All the immortals belonging to the Gattuso family were destroyed. After closing the Night Food Field, the Japanese branch immediately carried out a targeted elimination of the Gattuso family's industries in Japan and killed and imprisoned more than one hundred direct cadres, with economic losses exceeding 5 billion US dollars.

Therefore, even an old guy like Beowulf, who was completely opposed to the new generation, did not rebuke the head of the Pompeii family for his insolence.

Even someone as crazy as Pompeii would be extremely anxious at this time. His eyes were bloodshot and it was obvious that he had not slept for at least a day and a night.

"Ahem." Baroness Laurent shook the bell beside her, reminding the participants in this way that this meeting had actually been held several minutes ago. Everyone present had taken time out of their busy schedules to come to Chicago from all over the world to solve problems, not to come here to stare at each other and wait for the Bavarian chef in the cafeteria to serve them pork knuckles on the conference table.

"Why did Master Flamel refuse to participate in the meeting? Has the greatest alchemist among us completely given up on humanity?" Saint Cadmus whispered.

Compared to his appearance at the last meeting held here, the old man now looked in much worse condition. Fine, iron-blue scales had begun to grow on his cheeks, and his entire body was covered in a priest-like robe. However, it was obvious that his figure was more muscular than before, and sparse, thick scales were visible on the back of his hand placed on the table.

The Cadmus family's surname is inherited from the ancient mythological era. The unique skills that each generation of this powerful and low-key family relies on to slay dragons are actually powers borrowed from the devil.

They use extremely high concentrations of alchemical potions to enhance their bloodline, which is similar to how the descendants of Saint Beowulf use highly poisonous dragon blood to make themselves closer to pure-blooded dragons.

But whether it is taking dragon blood or using potions that can refine bloodline, very few people in history have had a good ending. The vast majority of people who dared to covet the power of the devil would eventually be dragged into the abyss by the devil. This generation of Saint Cadmus is obviously about to reach his end.

"After hearing that his good friend, Principal Angers, was seriously injured in Japan and had to use an extracorporeal circulation device to maintain his life for a long time, Professor Flamel fell into great sorrow." Charlotte Gottingen, who was young but had beautiful features, hesitated for a moment. "I heard that he fainted in the bell tower before the school board meeting and is now receiving treatment in the medical department."

The first person to express doubt was the monk-like man.

“As far as I know, even compared to ours, Master Flamel’s bloodline is definitely superior. Is it possible for someone like him to faint from crying, something that sounds unrealistic?” he said.

"I don't know. Anyway, the vice-president refused to participate in this meeting and asked us to complete the handover ceremony of the principal's position as soon as possible so that he can move into Principal Angers' office as soon as possible." said Baroness Laurent.

"Our top priority now should be how to solve the problems we are facing, rather than focusing on an old guy who is keen on pornographic films shot by cowboys and prostitutes in the American West in the 70s." Pompey's voice was hoarse, and he took a heavy breath every time he spoke, like a terminally ill old man.

This womanizing man suddenly revealed his ferocious side on this day. When he was speaking in the meeting hall of Valhalla, all the elders of the secret party had to sit up straight and listen to his opinions.

The Gattuso family, which suffered heavy losses, was like an enraged lion group, and Pompey was the leader of the lion group.

In fact, there has always been an undercurrent in this conference room, and every participant's heart is covered with a thick layer of haze.

The battle that took place in Tokyo Bay was restored by the academy's artificial intelligence using 3D deduction technology. There is evidence that Herzog von Rong, who used the alias Tachibana Masamune, succeeded in stealing part of the White King's authority after a very long period of planning, and finally embarked on the path to deification that had been coveted for thousands of years.

The newly born White King Herzog and the Yamata-no-No-Snake Izanagi who escaped from Takama-ga-hara jointly started the prelude to conquest. Their first step was to destroy Japan and establish a kingdom of gods, or dragon kingdom, on the basis of Japan, with the kingdom of the dead "Yoghurhara" as the center and radiating influence outward.

In the end, it was Kassel Academy sophomores Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi, as well as the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake Eight Clan, Uesugi Eri, who destroyed the conspiracy of Herzog and the Yamata no Orochi in Tokyo Bay. The impact of this battle was so wide that hundreds of thousands or even millions of people witnessed the scene of Uesugi Eri's near-miraculous words descending on the sea and destroying the Yamata no Orochi.

At the same time, relevant video materials have begun to spread widely among major network platforms. However, the academy's intelligent secretary, EVA, known as the uncrowned king of information, malfunctioned at the most critical moment and fell into a state of freeze. It could not be reawakened no matter what. When the technical department rushed into the central control room and forcibly awakened EVA's surface personality Norma and shut down the wartime state to allow her to completely take over the academy's existing information advantage, those impacts had been witnessed and preserved by at least hundreds of millions of people.

In addition, the disasters that befell the Japanese archipelago and surrounding waters, which were caused by elemental turbulence and completely violated the laws of nature, are also being questioned by experts and scholars around the world. The eruption and silence of Mount Fuji are too weird, so weird that it seems as if there are really such things as gods in the world. The achievements made by human beings with all their efforts are nothing more than ashes that can be wiped away by gods.

Even though the academy and the Eight Snake Clans had joined forces to recover all dragon-related remains and residues in Tokyo Bay and downtown Tokyo as quickly as possible, the impact caused by the dragons and dragon subspecies that were summoned by Herzog and the Yamata-no-Orochi and awakened from their slumber and returned to the world could not be concealed in any way.

The alchemy zombies that escaped from the Night Food Field, the deformed subspecies that entered the Tama River from the Red Demon River and appeared in the coastal areas of Kanagawa and Tokyo, the ghost-toothed vipers that stretched for hundreds of meters like a sea of ​​stars falling into deep water, and the huge dragon-shaped corpse guards that destroyed buildings... everything was telling the world that everything they once believed in had been destroyed.

Humans are by no means the true masters of this world, and the forces of darkness are stirring.

The Great Wall of Despair, which the ancestors of the secret party spent hundreds and thousands of years to build, collapsed overnight, and all the secrets will be revealed to the public.

What the academy will face next will not only be the hatred of the dragons that have crawled out of their graves, but also the greed that is unique to humans.

No one would be willing to believe that there is another ethnic group superior to their own lurking around them. What awaits the hybrids is definitely not peaceful coexistence, but only real genocide to the death.

History has told everyone a truth through one event after another.

Not my kind...

His heart must be different.

The war is about to begin. The only reason why no bunker-buster missile has directly hit the outer wall of Kassel College is that every government in the world is still in great panic and their intelligence systems have not yet started to operate.

Once they realize that the aliens are here, in Chicago, there is no doubt that the leaders have the courage and determination, and the secret party will inevitably face a devastating blow.

When Pompey mentioned the problems faced by this academy and even the entire mixed-blood world, everyone present fell into deathly silence.

No one expected that the situation would develop to this point. In comparison, Lu Mingfei's defection seemed to be a trivial matter, even though he might be accompanied by a Dragon King using the alias Xia Mi and the most powerful and dangerous descendant of the White King in history.

"The most urgent task we are facing now is to eliminate the impact of the Tokyo incident on the entire world. No one can guarantee how other people will view us outliers when the secrets of the dragon clan are completely exposed to the eyes of ordinary people." Mr. Turing and the heads of the departments who usually do not show their faces in public also appeared in this meeting.

"It's easy to say to eliminate the impact, but why don't you tell me what I should do?" Pompey looked desperate.

In Italy, the Gattuso family is certainly the uncrowned king among the mixed-races, but it is by no means the largest owner of the means of production. Regardless of other capital consortiums and ancient families that possess huge wealth, the Italian government is not an easy task to deal with.

After the secret of the dragon clan was exposed, there was no shortage of traitors among the mixed-blood group. Soon all the governments of the world would know how many forces capable of overthrowing their rule were hidden within the territories under their jurisdiction. The French and Belgians had already given their answer in Africa. Those who had the power to resist and disobeyed their rule were all massacred.

Gattusos and others may be able to cause great harm to that country or even the world, but in the end all threats will only become inducements for the government to be determined to eradicate them.

Almost no one here is truly alone. Even those department heads who have not stepped out of the laboratory for decades have their own children and grandchildren and even an entire prosperous family.

"We have our own power in the government. Whether we choose to continue hiding or to be completely open and honest is not a dead end." said a middle-aged man who looked like Ryoma Genichirō.

He was also a school director from Sicily, the second Italian on the board of directors besides Pompey.

"If EVA was still around, we could still wage an information war to discredit all those video materials as fake, but now we only have Norma, and Norma's computing power is less than one-third of EVA's." Pompey sighed.

The mystery of EVA's death remains unsolved until now, and no one knows what happened to her.

There were no problems with the hardware and software systems, Norma was operating normally, and Mr. Turing even retested it, but EVA could not be activated.

It was as if the girl's soul had left. (End of this chapter)
