Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 146: It’s okay to keep lying, right?

The pungent smell of disinfectant entered Chen Motong's nose. The faint light seemed to be close at hand, but he could not reach it. All he could see was a blue-black scene. The feeling of being wrapped in despair came over him again...

"Huh! Huh! Where... am I?" Chen Motong took a deep breath subconsciously and suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. Only then did he realize that he had returned to the ground without knowing when.

There was only her bed in the spacious and bright ward. The warm sunlight shone through the window onto her face. At this moment, she deeply experienced what it meant to be alive.

"Nono, you're awake." Caesar's voice came from beside her, slightly hoarse.

Chen Motong turned back subconsciously and saw a face full of fatigue. Even the previously neat and smooth golden hair had become a little dull. It was the first time she had seen Caesar in such a mess. In the past, he was always chic and elegant.

"Have we escaped?" Chen Motong didn't know why he didn't dare to look at Caesar's face. He just lowered his head and asked a meaningless question in a dull voice.

"Well, although the underground palace collapsed, the entrance at the top was also opened. We just swam for a while and then the school's support arrived." Caesar nodded.

No matter how desperate he was at the bottom of the Stockholm Canal, he was so relieved when he saw Angers after being pulled out by the Enforcement Department. The old man even opened a glass of champagne on the boat and waited for them to celebrate.

However, Caesar's whole heart was on Chen Motong, and he decisively sent her to the best hospital in Stockholm. Fortunately, there was no serious danger. Chen Motong woke up after being unconscious for only one night, but Caesar also stayed by her side for the whole night and didn't even have time to change his clothes.

"What about the others? Are they okay?"

"Susie was rescued by Chu Zihang, and Gu Ye and Alyssa also managed to escape. Everyone is fine and is resting in the hotel now."

"Is that so...I'm the only one in the hospital?" Chen Motong raised his head and stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You've done a good job. At least you reminded everyone what to do. After all, they are the second generation. I can't just watch and do nothing..." Caesar gave a wry smile and began to comfort Chen Motong.

He was very confident in his own fighting ability, but after seeing the huge size of the dragon race, he realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were. Even if Chu Zihang had a word spirit like Jun Yan that was biased towards fighting, he was still stretched to the limit against the dragon race, not to mention that his own word spirit was biased towards the auxiliary sickle weasel.

He now understood why humans developed technology so quickly. Without the support of thermal weapons, slaying a dragon would be a very difficult task. However, there will not be a next time... Caesar can allow himself to fail, but he cannot allow himself to fail all the time. Since he cannot engage in close combat, he may as well use long-range weapons.

You know, when paired with the Kamaitachi, no one in the world has better shooting ability than Caesar himself. Even if it is a huge dragon, the alchemical bullets can tear through their defenses.

"No need to comfort me. I know myself very well. I am not suitable for fighting." Chen Motong came back to his senses, looked at Caesar and spoke softly.

"Since they are all here, let's go back..." As he spoke, Chen Motong pulled out the infusion needle in his hand.

"Wait! You haven't..." Caesar was about to stop him, but when he saw Chen Motong's determined eyes, he could only sit down obediently.

"Do you want to see me change clothes?" Chen Motong tilted his head and looked at Caesar, his hand already on the collar of his hospital gown.

"Ah! Wait... I'll ask someone to bring you some clothes!" Caesar walked towards the door in a panic. His funny appearance made Chen Motong curl the corners of his mouth.

On the rooftop of Gu Ye's room at the Royal Hotel Stockholm, Ange was sitting face to face with him, his eyes occasionally observing the people coming and going below.

"I really didn't expect that you would come to pick us up in person." Gu Ye looked at Angers handsome face full of wrinkles and sighed softly.

This old guy seemed to know everything. He had prepared rescue personnel early on, as if everything was under his control.

"Kassel College has always attached great importance to the safety of students," said Angers.

"So is this also part of your plan? Principal Ange?" Gu Ye asked.

"No, no, no. I'm just good at going with the flow. Some things can be found out with just a little investigation. Kassel College is more reliable than you think, but we hope that students can get the proper growth." Angé blinked.

Tsk... Does this mean that the academy is not useless, but it's just not the right time to take action? Or... is it reminding me not to have any extra thoughts? Gu Ye's mouth curled up. Using both kindness and force... It's really the routine used by those in power.

"So, are you satisfied with the results this time?" Gu Ye changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

"Of course, your excellent execution ability is obvious to all. Maybe I can consider letting all the students go to the executive department for training." Ang Re nodded and said.

"Has the body of the second-generation species been found?"

"We're still searching. There are too many ruins of the underground palace. We've already spent a lot of energy just explaining the whirlpools on the Stockholm Canal." Hearing Gu Ye's question, Angé rubbed his brows with a headache.

Even for Kassel Academy, it would be difficult to suppress such a large-scale incident in a short period of time. The corpses of the next generation of species might not be excavated until several months later.

"But now you are completely famous, and the whole mixed-blood community has their eyes on you. After all, two dragons have died in your hands. Do you feel pressure?" Angers asked with a hint of sarcasm, as if he was interviewing Gu Ye. "Pressure? Why would there be pressure?" Gu Ye seemed to have heard a joke.

"They should be the ones feeling the pressure, right? This is just the beginning... More dragons will die at my hands in the future. If they still choose to stand still, then... they can only watch me shine in the world."

Gu Ye Ke has never understood what it means to stand out from the crowd. He only wants to become stronger and stronger, so strong that the entire mixed-blood world would not dare to make a move on him. Since he has already stepped into this world, he will surely dominate the world.

"It's great to be young... I just like your confidence!" Angé clapped his hands with laughter. He didn't think Gu Ye's words were too arrogant at all. After all, he was also such a domineering person.

"I really feel more and more that my decision to train you was the right one. With you around...even if I die, those politicians won't dare to act rashly."

Of course, there is also another secret weapon that can be protected. Angé would never say this out loud. In his opinion, the stronger Gu Ye is, the safer that weapon can grow.

"Don't think of adding new responsibilities to me. I'm just trying to protect my family and friends. You'd better find someone else to deal with those politicians." Gu Ye shook his head. He had noticed the restlessness of that mixed-blood family in the previous mission, but he didn't want to get involved.

Of course...if they still have ideas about themselves, then they will definitely experience firsthand how the next generation was killed by themselves, even if this next generation was not complete.

"I knew you would say that, so I rejected all the invitations from that group of guys on your behalf. Of course... as compensation, the academy will give you the right to use the Norton Hall, and at the same time give you the permission to enter the equipment center to tailor-make equipment for you." Angé said with a smile.

This old guy seems to be thinking about me, but in fact he wants to pull me into Kassel's camp? Never mind, it doesn't matter where I am, as long as there are dragons who can provide progress in unlocking the panel.

"Thank you so much, Principal. What is the Equipment Department?" Gu Ye was a little confused.

"Oh... they are one of the most elite departments in the academy. Most of the dragon-slaying equipment is made there, including some alchemical weapons." Angé explained.

"Is that so?" Gu Ye nodded thoughtfully. He suddenly had an idea. If any equipment could be crafted, then... maybe he would have a clue about unlocking another skin panel.

"By the way, I heard about the report of this mission from Chu Zihang. We also obtained some very useful information. Soon... you will get some more generous rewards." Angé spoke suddenly as if he had thought of something.

"What reward?"

"Let me keep this a secret for now. As a qualified teacher, it is necessary to learn how to whet students' appetite. So... have a good rest. There will be no more tasks during this period." After saying this, Angé stood up and was about to leave, but his eyes stayed on the downstairs.

Gu Ye followed his gaze and saw Caesar carrying Chen Motong down from the car. Chen Motong did not resist at all. Instead, she lay obediently on his back, just like a couple in love.

"Looks like there's an unexpected gain~" Angers eyes flashed, full of gossip.

"This young man really caught up with me?" Gu Ye was a little stunned. What did he miss? How come they were together all of a sudden?

Downstairs, Chen Motong lay on Caesar's back, playing with his golden hair with her fingers and spoke softly.

"What is it about me that attracts you?"

"Speaking of this...actually, I haven't thought about it that much." Caesar stopped and thought for a moment before speaking.

"If I have to say, it's probably the feeling of freedom you have. The most memorable trip in life is the one where you jump into a fully gassed car with some psychopath who comes to your window and calls you, and rush into the night waving a map! You don't even know the direction of the destination, you just want to run as far as possible." Caesar raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There shouldn't be any cage in the world that can hold a real man, except for one thing... that's the girl you like."

"I understand." Chen Motong sighed and put his chin on Caesar's shoulder.

"Then you must be prepared to be trapped by me forever, okay?"

"Of course, I never make a decision that I regret." Feeling the weight on his shoulders and the girl's warm breath, Caesar couldn't help but smile.

How stupid... If this boy knew that the person he loved was also destined to be with him, wouldn't it be a bit too cruel? Chen Motong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

She didn't know whether it was for herself or for the boy in front of her whose eyes shone with hope, but now she suddenly wanted to accept this fate.

As long as this boy still reaches out to him, Chen Motong will not let go. After all... only a fool like him in this world would choose to save a helpless girl at the bottom of a dark river.

It’s like Chen Motong wants to save the boy’s love. Since he’s already deceived her, then... it’s okay to keep lying, right?
