If Angers invited Cao Han to the board meeting, how do you explain Angers' behavior just now? It doesn't seem like he knew in advance that the person coming was Cao Han.
"Someone didn't want to open the door for me, so I had to open it in my own way. I just didn't control the force well and made a bit of a commotion."
At this moment, Cao Han had also put away the golden eyes in his eyes, and looked like a gentle and easy-going boy next door. However, anyone could hear the casualness in his tone of voice.
Just at this time.
A series of chaotic footsteps came from afar. It turned out to be the castle's defense personnel who had rushed over after noticing the commotion.
It's clear that these people are quite well-trained; it's just that the incident happened so suddenly that they reacted a beat too slowly to get there.
The leader's face was expressionless, yet he exuded a sharp, chilling aura, like millennia-old frost.
The fact that such a commotion occurred during the board meeting is a grave dereliction of duty on his part as the person primarily responsible for the castle's defense.
The moment he burst in, his gaze was fixed on Cao Han, who was standing not far from the doorway. His eyes were filled with a palpable killing intent, as if he were about to make a move without saying a word.
"Some strength."
The newcomer's imposing aura had no effect on Cao Han, but the strength he displayed was still something he could acknowledge.
Even those following behind this person exuded a powerful aura.
In terms of pedigree rating, they all start at "B grade" or above, with the leading ice block even vaguely approaching "S grade".
These people seem to be the castle's defensive force. If it were a typical mixed-race faction, they wouldn't dare to mess with the dragon's whiskers.
This shows that these secret society families all control considerable power.
Cao Han did not recognize the leader, but Angers was familiar with him, as the other had once been one of the outstanding students at Kassel College.
However, everyone has their own ambitions. Some students chose to join the school's executive department after graduation, while others chose to join a certain family.
Perhaps it's because these families can offer them something that the school's executive department can't.
“Harris, Cao Han is also a student at Kassel College. This is all a misunderstanding.” Angers’ words were simply to make one point: Cao Han was also a member of the Secret Party.
"Yes, yes, we're all on the same side, it's just a little misunderstanding."
This time, it was once again a bald, middle-aged school board member dressed in a tight racing suit who stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.
If before it was just hearsay about the young man's "glorious deeds," now he has finally witnessed and personally experienced the terrifying strength of the other party.
If I remember correctly, the other party also possesses the Word of Power: Time Zero, just like Angers.
To put it bluntly, if Cao Han had truly harbored malicious intent, those brief one or two seconds would have been enough to wipe them out countless times.
The middle-aged, balding school board member didn't know what the other board members were thinking, but he dared not gamble, dared not risk his life to see if Hilbert Jean Angers would actually intervene to stop his students.
"Young people these days are really something else."
"We weren't injured either, so let's just leave it at that."
"Yes, yes, I think so too."
"..."
Although their life experiences may differ, those who become school board members are not fools; they are at least capable of basic situational awareness.
When someone took the initiative to speak up, the other board members also chimed in with their agreement.
This made Frost, who had just questioned him, seem a bit like a "clown," with an extremely unpleasant expression, yet unable to lash out.
The situation was almost one-sided, and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't care about feeling a little ashamed.
To put it bluntly, Frost was just someone Gattuso put forward to attract hatred; the real head of the family was Pompeii Gattuso.
“It seems this room isn’t suitable for continuing the board meeting. How about we find another place?” the bald board member suggested.
Indeed, Cao Han's actions left the room in a complete mess.
An immense force acted on the metal door, carrying a violent airflow that swept and destroyed most of the things inside.
Look at the footprint, about four or five centimeters deep, dented in the middle of the metal door. While marveling at the sturdiness of the metal door, one can't help but subconsciously scrutinize Cao Han's legs.
What incredibly strong legs those must be!
"Tina."
"exist."
Upon hearing the monk school board member call her name, the female secretary, who had been hiding in the corner, immediately came out.
The monk-manager opened his cloudy eyes and gave his secretary a meaningful look. He didn't lash out in front of everyone, but instead ordered in a deep voice, "Arrange another room for us, and have the servants take care of things here."
“Board members, please follow me.”
Unaware that she was about to face a terrible disaster, Tina received the order, bowed slightly, and led the school board members to another room.
Fortunately, there is more than one room in this castle suitable for holding meetings.
However, the other room had not been modified and did not have a metal door with such a high level of security.
The room layouts were all pretty much the same, but this time the board members seemed a little hesitant when choosing where to sit at the long table.
Angers sat in his usual spot, but whether by coincidence or design, Cao Han managed to get the first seat on the left before Frost could.
Extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.
Teachers and students are both incredibly fast-paced, so if someone harbors ill intentions towards them, it doesn't matter where they sit.
Having grasped this point, the school board members followed the old custom and took their seats.
Although there were some minor setbacks along the way, the overall situation has reached the point that Angers wanted to see.
"Cao Han, let me introduce you to the board members present."
"it is good."
After the board members were all seated, Angers took the initiative to speak and briefly introduced the identities of each board member to Cao Han.
Frost Gattuso.
When the acting head of the Gattuso family was introduced, Cao Han took a special look at the man and, for some reason, felt a great sense of disappointment.
It's fair to say that reality is never as good as fiction.
What surprised him was the presence of two young female school board members.
Although it was described in the original work, there are still nearly three years left in the timeline of the story.
Cao Han was surprised to find that the board of directors already had two such young female board members at this time.
Elizabeth Laurent, if I remember correctly, is the head of the school board who strongly supports Principal Angers; she looks like a teenage girl.
"Ding-a-ling—" A crisp bell sound rang out.
Seizing the opportunity, Frost didn't hesitate to ring the copper bell in front of him. "Since the main character is here now, I think there are some things we should discuss."
As he spoke, he pressed the remote control that was beside him, and a white beam of light shone on the white wall behind Angers, on which were a series of summarized documents.
The slideshow of various battle scenes—from research institutes outside the Osaka mountains, from the streets of Shibuya in Japan, to satellite images captured from 10,000 meters above the ground—captured the attention of the board members.
The final image freezes on a photo of Cao Han wielding his sword, looking at the neck of the half-human, half-dragon Herzog. Even through the screen, one can feel the young man's overwhelming power.
Chapter 126 If the tiger doesn't roar, does it think I'm Hello Kitty?
Artificial satellite!?
These photos and videos all have one thing in common: they are all shot from a top-down, bird's-eye view.
Cao Han immediately saw through the clues and there was basically nothing worth paying attention to, except for the scene where he killed Herzog at the end, which surprised him somewhat.
"The Gattuso family seems to be paying special attention to me."
Considering the technological sophistication of the Gattuso family's space-based kinetic weapon "Avatar," it's not entirely unacceptable that their family possesses some unknown private satellites.
They specifically use satellites to monitor his every move...
These facts reveal that the school board members are both wary of Cao Han's abilities and naturally admire him.
For example, Elisabeth Laurent, a staunch supporter of Angers, secretly glanced at Cao Han with eyes full of admiration.
The Laurent family is the behind-the-scenes controller of the Syndicate, and their wealth and resources are among the best in the Secret Service.
Unfortunately, each profession has its own expertise, and the Laurent family has always been weak in terms of martial prowess.
Otherwise, the former head of the Laurent family, Elizabeth Laurent's father, would not have died unexpectedly.
Therefore, the little girl developed a unique admiration for individual power from a young age, and in order to better secure her position as the head of the family, she had no choice but to join forces with Angers at the school board meeting.
Elizabeth Laurent reluctantly withdrew her gaze, but couldn't help but fantasize about Cao Han becoming her husband...
Frost's face darkened. By observing the expressions of the other board members, he realized that their reactions were far from what he had expected, which was very detrimental to his plans.
He composed himself and continued to ring the bell, saying, "Based on the hard work of the investigation team members sent to the school by the Board of Directors over the past few days, we have discovered many suspicious points about student Cao Han!"
First of all, there's the issue of his identity and background. No matter how we investigate, we haven't found any trace of his life before he appeared in the coastal city, which is absolutely impossible.
In addition, Cao Han's strength is excessively powerful, even able to fight head-on with the second-generation Dragon Body species. Throughout the history of hybrid species, there has never been such a powerful hybrid species, which is extraordinary!
Finally, there's the performance during the pedigree rating test...
Before Frost could continue, Angers shook the copper bell in his hand and sneered, "Frost, you might as well just say you suspect Cao Han is a dragon."
"We cannot rule out that possibility."
Frost nodded seriously, and the other school board members who heard this could not remain calm. If this speculation were confirmed, perhaps everyone present would be in danger of losing their lives.
"Seconded."
The older one gets, the less daring one becomes, and the more one cherishes one's life. The monk school director raised his eyelids slightly and glanced in a certain direction before continuing to express his opinion, "Until student Cao Han clarifies the doubts, I believe this suspicion is reasonable."
Frost, who had received support, couldn't help but smile.
With the support of the monk school board members, it is equivalent to gaining the support of the board members themselves.
as predicted.
The next second, Elsa Gottingen, the youngest school board member and the butler standing behind her, rang a brass bell and spoke in a clear and melodious voice like a nightingale: "I also agree with Uncle Frost."
The board of directors was naturally divided into several factions.
Just like Elizabeth Laurent chose to ally with Angers in order to secure her position as head of the family and take control of the household.
The way Elsa Gottingen addressed Frost suggests a close relationship between the two families.
