The stronger the dragon bloodline, the more powerful the effect of the Word of Power!
With the enhanced bloodline of the next generation, the Word of Immortality can even strengthen the body to the level of titanium alloy.
Cao Han wasn't stupid; he knew there was a more convenient way than to physically confront the metal door.
I won't get hurt, but it still hurts like hell!
"Wait……"
Under the secretary's horrified gaze, the first word of her attempt to stop him was cut off by a gust of wind.
boom! ! !
Cao Han's figure vanished in the blink of an eye, as if the deafening roar of C4 exploding in his ears echoed throughout the castle, and the terrifying dust he stirred up completely enveloped the metal door where it had been.
Before this.
Behind the metal door, the room was dimly lit, with only the candles lit on the long table illuminating the faces of the school board members.
In addition, there is a copper bell in front of each of them. At first glance, it seems that time has been reversed by thousands of years, back to the era when the elders of the Secret Party held a solemn meeting in a place full of historical atmosphere.
There were six school board members present, including Angers, four men and two women. Angers sat at the end of the long table, symbolizing the supreme authority, and no school board member objected to this.
Sitting to Angers' left was a middle-aged man with a full head of blond hair, dressed in a meticulously tailored black suit, with a handkerchief embroidered with the family crest of the phoenix tucked into his jacket pocket. He was Frost Gattuso, the school board member representing the Gattuso family.
At this moment, however, he glared angrily at the composed Angers, as if he were about to slam his fist on the table and stand up at any moment.
The elderly man at the head of the table on the right, also dressed in a suit, was repeatedly twirling a string of sandalwood beads in his hands, muttering to himself as if reciting scriptures.
Below him was a man wearing a bright yellow tight-fitting racing suit, with a bicycle helmet on his right. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, but had the bald head of someone in their fifties or sixties.
It may be a family genetic phenomenon, but more likely it's due to a love of cycling.
Sitting opposite him were the only two female school board members present, Elizabeth Laurent and Elsa Gottingen.
Both female school board members were dressed up quite carefully today.
To appear more mature, Elizabeth Laurent wore the makeup of a European noblewoman, a black veil, an expensive corseted suit, a fur vest over it, and gold high heels under her long, slender legs. This was the kind of outfit a woman would wear to the battlefield, and for her, today truly was a battlefield.
Elsa Gottingen, who is even younger than Elizabeth Laurent, shares a similar taste in dressing.
Her long, light gold hair was piled on top of her head. Although she had put on makeup and dressed up to try to look more mature, her slightly chubby face couldn't shake off her childlike appearance. She looked like a beautiful Barbie doll, and no matter how serious her expression was, she didn't look like a person of supreme power.
Behind him stood a butler wearing white gloves, head held high, eyes fixed straight ahead.
“Hilbert Jean Angers, shouldn’t you give the Board of Trustees an explanation for what happened in Japan?” Frost rebuked Angers without any politeness.
The other board members remained silent, but their gazes toward Angers seemed to exert invisible pressure.
Angers, who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood without batting an eye, was hardly affected. He casually picked at his fingernails and said, "Didn't I already give it to you?"
My student happened to run into the White House resurgence while on a mission in Japan, and then, seeing injustice, he simply killed them. It's that simple!
"dog*!"
Listening to Angers's completely idiotic explanation that treated their board of directors like fools, Frost felt an uncontrollable rage burning in his chest. "What we want to know is the detailed account of the whole incident!"
This includes why the White King awoke and how he awoke.
And here I must correct something: the students at Kassel College are all members of the Secret Service, not you!
"Hehe—" Angers couldn't help but laugh, a very unrestrained laugh. "You say the students are members of the Secret Party, and that's it, I won't argue with that. As for whether you can get the students to listen to you..."
"You could give it a try, Frost, the school board trustee."
At this special board meeting that was convened unexpectedly.
The two younger female school board members seemed to have been completely forgotten by the rest of the board, and they were quite happy about it.
Upon witnessing the tense standoff between Angers and Frost, the elderly school board member, who had been meditating like a monk with his prayer beads in hand, finally opened his slightly cloudy eyes, rang the copper bell in front of him, and said:
"The words of the Frost School Board members may have been a bit harsh, but they were the consensus reached by our Board of Directors."
Furthermore! Since Cao Han is a student of Kassel College, he is naturally a member of our Secret Party, and that is beyond question!
Similar scenes have been repeated countless times at this board meeting, which has been going on for more than two days.
So much so that the other board members have gotten used to it.
In particular, the animosity between Frost, represented by the Gattuso family, and Angers was truly commonplace.
The Gattuso family, who clearly disliked Angers the most as the principal of the Kassel College, were ironically the ones who supported Angers the most at certain times.
At this moment, the middle-aged bald man in the tight racing suit smiled and shook the copper bell, "Everyone, calm down and be more peaceful."
Chapter 125 Cao Han-style Door Opening
Only children act impulsively; the adult world is ultimately about self-interest.
The appearance of the bald, middle-aged school board member did have some effect, at least greatly easing the tense atmosphere on set.
Frost Gattuso leaned back in his chair, one hand on his cane and the other ringing a bell. "In that case, let's just give our opinions according to the bylaws of the Board of Governors."
The discussion revolved entirely around the stability of Cao Han's bloodline.
As soon as the words were spoken, the other board members had different expressions, their minds racing as they weighed the pros and cons: should they risk offending Cao Han and ally with the Gattuso family, or should they invest in the future—that is, Cao Han—or should they remain still and continue to bet on Angers...?
The bronze bell rang.
Before anyone could follow the sound to the school board member who was ringing the bell,
Angers, who was calm and collected just a second ago, suddenly changed his expression. In an instant, his Time Zero domain appeared, and his figure moved like a ghost towards School Director Elizabeth Laurent.
While taking action, he also shouted a reminder to the others: "Get out of the way!!!"
Upon being reminded, the school board members' expressions changed drastically, but out of trust in Angers, they chose to take action first.
The monk-school board member, whose eyes were like the gnarled roots of an old tree, opened his eyes. They were no longer cloudy and dim, but radiated golden pupils as bright as the sun.
The rest, including Frost and the bald school board member in a tight racing suit, were equally quick to react, their golden eyes flashing as they immediately followed Angers' footsteps and dodged to the sides.
Unaware of the situation, they could only instinctively trust Angers, believing that his choice was correct and safe.
Two young female school board members, Elizabeth Laurent and Angers, who reacted the fastest, took away using Time Zero. Elsa Göttingen's butler also stopped holding back and grabbed a chair from behind, sending her and the chair flying backward.
It's too late to say, then soon!
With a deafening roar, the massive metal door flew in with unstoppable force, then slammed into the wall of the castle at the far end.
The entire castle shook violently, stirring up clouds of dust, as it was an ancient building that had existed for more than half a century.
As for the long table where the school board members were originally sitting, that small section was completely shattered the moment it touched the metal door.
Seeing that the entire metal door was almost embedded in the wall, the board members subconsciously swallowed.
If Angers hadn't given them a heads-up, they would still be in their original positions...
"Where are the guards?!" The middle-aged monk, the school board member, turned ashen-faced.
It's important to know that he was the one who decided to hold the board meeting at this ancient castle, meaning he was also in charge of the security.
This situation is now all too obvious!
Someone broke in!
"Angers!!!"
The hunter is only remembered when the jackals arrive. The school board members may have a lot of dragon blood in them, but those in high positions are not necessarily good at fighting.
Therefore, they could only pin their hopes on Angers.
It was only at times like these that the school board members suddenly realized how reassuring it was to have Angers around.
Cao Han, who chose to force his way in, probably never imagined that his impulsive and exaggerated behavior would inadvertently help Principal Angers.
The female secretary, who had fallen to the ground in a disheveled state, looked at Cao Han with the same horrified gaze one would give a monster.
Cao Han walked in with his hands in his pockets, swaggering in step by step.
Under the cover of billowing dust, the unhurried footsteps seemed to tread on the hearts of the school board members.
The unknown is the most terrifying thing!
The enemy's leisurely demeanor, in particular, led many to believe it was a sign of complete confidence.
As they drew closer, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
The moment those majestic golden eyes, like those of an ancient dragon, appeared amidst the thick smoke...
The school board members' intuitions were frantically warning them; signals of death were constantly reminding them through every sense of their bodies. Their hearts were pounding violently, and they felt like a taut string, ready to snap at any moment.
The feeling was like encountering a predator at the top of the food chain, making one tremble from soul to body.
Even Angers, the strongest person present, couldn't help but assume a ready-to-fight stance, his golden eyes shining even brighter once more.
This is his way of fully utilizing his dragon bloodline, and he is mentally prepared to activate his blood-burst state at any time if things go wrong.
Unfortunately, due to the requirements of the school board, the folding knife was not in my hand.
The older school board members reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, let alone the two young female school board members who were facing such a situation for the first time, whose performance was even more dismal.
Elizabeth Laurent could only retreat to the back and huddle together with Elsa Gottingen for warmth, but even her arms crossed did nothing to alleviate her trembling.
Tap! Tap! Tap! ...
The figure of the attacker finally appeared after much anticipation.
"Cao Han!?" X6
The moment they saw who it was, the board members present could no longer contain their surprise and exclaimed in unison, including Angers, the one who had instigated Cao Han to attend the board meeting.
Angers never expected that Cao Han would make his appearance in such a violent way.
Upon discovering it was a false alarm, the school board members were initially relieved, but then became furious at Cao Han's barbaric methods.
Frost, who had always been at odds with Angers' faction, immediately questioned Cao Han in a stern voice after recovering from his shock: "Student Cao Han, who leaked the location of the Board of Directors meeting to you?"
Are you trying to declare war on the Secret Service by jeopardizing the school board members like this?!
They immediately slapped a huge accusation on Cao Han's head and deliberately pushed him to the opposite side.
"I invited Cao Han over."
To the slight surprise of the other board members, Angers actually stepped forward and took responsibility.
But then I thought about it again and it seemed wrong!
