Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 293 The Last Madman (V)
Caesar nodded. "It's a reasonable suspicion, but no one can confirm it, because all the records about the Summer Mourning are the top secrets of the Secret Party. Hundreds of years have passed, and the Secret Party has not announced any of its investigation results to anyone outside the school board. But all the evidence shows that the dragons did launch a night attack. They broke through the core directly and should have completely destroyed the elites . However, the peerless genius Menek Cassel actually burst out with a power that rivaled the Dragon King and stopped the dragon's conspiracy. At that time, the Lionheart Society was almost wiped out, and one person survived, that is Principal Angers."
"Since it's a secret, how do you know so many details, Caesar?" Yuan Zhinv found it very interesting.
"My uncle Frost is the only member of the board of directors who appears in public. He has the authority to read top-secret documents. Some of these documents are usually placed on his desk, and I just flip through them when I go there," said Caesar.
"So careless?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. "I thought those top bosses were the ones who did things flawlessly."
"It can't be said to be accidental, it should be said to be intentional." Caesar smiled contemptuously, "Pasi is Frost's secretary and a close aide, serving me, Frost, and my father at the same time. As a professional, Persi certainly would not make such a low-level mistake as not collecting important documents in time. That could only be instructed by Frost. He wanted me to see it, so I would see it. This little trick may be enough to fool a three-year-old child."
Lu Mingfei knew that Caesar had always had a bad relationship with his family. This was common knowledge in Kassel Academy. But now it sounded like Caesar's family had always been very good to Caesar. Even though they knew he was hostile, they still tolerated his rebelliousness to the greatest extent. The most threatening punishment they had ever given Caesar was to suspend his card.
I really don't know how to appreciate my blessings... I always feel sour in my heart. Caesar doesn't like his family but he still has a home. I miss my parents but I haven't seen them for many years. I wonder if they remember that they still have a daughter on earth when they are digging a hole in some corner of the world. After so many years, maybe they won't recognize me if I pass by them on the street?
"Even rich and handsome men have their own problems at home." Yuan Zhisheng said calmly.
"You talk as if you're not tall, rich and handsome." Caesar held Yuan Zhisheng's shoulder carelessly, "There's nothing we can do. We men are like this. We have to look glamorous and beautiful in public, and the humiliation we suffer behind our backs can't be a reason to hinder our progress. We must always be prepared for a fight! To be honest, I have seriously considered what I should do when I completely break up with my family. Maybe opening a private restaurant in Japan is a good choice. People here are easily receptive to European and American dining habits. I can cook a lot of things."
"The principal was not in Kassel 's manor at that time?" Chu Zihang brought the topic back.
"No, he was there, and he had a close encounter with the Dragon King. After being injured, he fell into the cellar and was in a state of suspended animation, which is why he was lucky enough to survive. The entire Summer Mourning was recorded largely because Principal Angers witnessed it with his own eyes. As for the part after he fainted, a member of the secret party had been recording what happened manually on the spot, leaving valuable first-hand information for future generations." Caesar said, "After the principal woke up, he dug his friends out of the pile of corpses with his own hands and burned them to ashes. He buried the ashes and also buried his past."
This is a sad story, about Angers' unknown past. Everyone kept silent at the same time. Although everyone had different positions and identities, as mixed-bloods, they all paid tribute to those heroic predecessors who had bravely dedicated themselves on the dragon-slaying battlefield in the past. Perhaps one of them standing here will also meet the same ending in the future.
"When the principal was found, he was already unconscious and woke up after a long time. The doctors thought he was a vegetable. But after waking up, the principal was not depressed, but surprisingly active. As the summer mourning caused the loss of the elite of the secret party, Principal Angers, as the only survivor, stepped into the top of the secret party and took power. To some extent, he was the biggest beneficiary of this tragic event, so there was a conspiracy theory against him. The principal ignored the rumors. The talented young man disappeared, and was replaced by a lonely and iron-fisted avenger."
Caesar sighed, as if with regret and admiration. Perhaps in his heart, someone like Ange was the greatest man, far more likable than those guys in his family.
"Now you understand why only he can become the principal of Cassel?" Caesar said, "He was once poor and lonely, but he got a new life because of his acquaintance with Meneck Cassel. But overnight, the honor, friends, and dreams he cherished were destroyed by the dragon clan. How could he not hate the dragon clan? If I had such an experience, I would spend my whole life killing these bastards one by one and bury them in the grave with my own hands!"
"Is a life lived for revenge really worth it?" Inuyama He asked softly. He used to be Ange's student. Although he didn't know the full picture of the summer mourning like Caesar, he knew that everything Ange did was for everyone he lost that day.
"There is an old Chinese saying, ' Don't advise others to be kind unless you have experienced their suffering.'" Angers slowly lit a cigarette for himself. Whenever he recalled that past event, only the smell of cigarettes could dilute the compassion in his heart. "The most arrogant thing about people is that they like to think about others. They either say it's for your own good, or that they understand you, or they just want to correct the mistakes of others in their eyes. But there is no empathy in this world. There is no need for another person to point fingers at how others live their lives. Whether they live or die is their own business. I am a stubborn avenger, always ready to fight, hoping to cut the throat and dig out the heart of every dragon before I step into the coffin."
"Principal, we have been subservient to you for sixty years. Isn't sixty years enough?" Inuyama He said in a deep voice, "Your students are still alive. After the Longyuan Project, the guard team has received eyewitness reports. We don't owe the secret party anything. We just don't want the secret party to interfere in our affairs. Is this not enough?"
"No, no one can talk to me about compromise on the matter of slaying the dragon." Angé put out the cigarette he had just lit in the empty teacup.
"You haven't changed your opinion in all these years." Inuyama He sighed, "In your eyes, we are just a bunch of self-righteous gangsters, and we can't be compared with the noble secret party at all. You can kill the Dragon King that we can't kill, and you can solve the crisis that we can't solve. You have never taken us seriously! From the beginning to the end!"
Inuyama He Zhen opened his kimono, revealing a deep red wooden handle at his waist. He grasped the hilt of the knife, and the roar of the knife being unsheathed echoed throughout the terrace.
He tried to negotiate with Ange, using their past relationship as master and disciple, but Ange's attitude was already very clear. He had to be the autocratic leader in the matter of the White King, and no one could order him to make concessions. Their conflict had reached an irreconcilable point.
The Japanese branch has bowed to the secret party for sixty years. Now that the young master and the head of the family have disappeared one after another, Angers has come to the door in this almost contemptuous way, which is simply a final fatal slap in the face of the Sheqi Eight Families. If Angers is allowed to continue, what face will the supreme leader of the underworld have?
"Teacher, I come to you again after sixty years to learn from you!" Inuyama He Zhen held his sword in reverse grip, so that he would use the blunt back of the sword to attack Angers, which was neither fatal nor sharp. "So many years have passed, principal, do you still remember the swordsmanship you learned in Japan?"
"How could I forget? When I beat people, I like to use your Japanese swordsmanship. It is elegant and artistic. It makes me look handsome and makes the girls scream." Angé carried the baseball bat he brought on his shoulder, looking like a typical comic street gangster.
Finally it came to this point. The Snake Eight Families completely broke with the secret party. Angé had already made preparations before coming. He knew what these Japanese were thinking. It was the same when they were asked to bow their heads 62 years ago. After the war, the Snake Eight Families were so pitiful that they didn't even have enough weapons to distribute, but they still dared to brandish their swords at the secret party disguised as sailors, saying that they would fight until the last member of the family died in disgrace.
Ange hated their so-called samurai spirit. It made him feel like a child in the middle school syndrome stage. There were obviously many ways to solve the problem, and there would be room for solution as long as everyone could compromise a little. But they just kept shouting, "I have no way to retreat, His Majesty the Emperor is on board!" and rushing forward to die meaninglessly or committing suicide by disembowelment, thinking that they could leave their names in history. In fact, they were just a group of self-admiring idiots who had never cherished anyone's life.
Inuyama He held the long sword horizontally and assumed an Iai stance. It is said that the long sword can reach a speed invisible to the naked eye the moment it leaves the sheath, and the opponent often only understands what has happened after being hit by the sword.
The golden eyes bloomed silently, and Inuyama He whispered the ancient spell. His words had no domain and were directly applied to himself.
Word Spirit·Moment!
The long sword was unsheathed, bringing with it a cold light. The teapot and teacups on the table fell silently. They had just cracked, and the fragments did not even touch the table. The surface of the Tai Chi round table seemed to have been cut by some kind of laser knife and shattered without leaving any trace. Inuyama He's blade had already reached in front of Angé.
This is a super fast sword slash, and with the blessing of Word Spirit Setsuna, it is even faster, reaching 128 times the normal speed. Setsuna allows Inuyama Ka to perform this Iai at a speed of 128. Minamoto Chisei is the young master, Tachibana Masamune is the head of the family, their bloodlines are higher than Inuyama Ka, but neither of them can take on Inuyama Ka's 128 times faster Iai.
The bat that Ange used to block was cut. Even if it was just the back of the blade, if it was fast enough, it would still be a sharp blade that could move forward. But Ange himself was not injured, because he could see the limit of the Iai slash. No matter how fast the blade was, its length would only be the length of the blade. It would cut an arc, and after Iai, it would be the action of putting the blade away. Everyone was sitting at a table, and Ange knew exactly where Inuyama He stood and how far he could cut. So he just raised his neck slightly, and Inuyama He's knife just brushed his neck and cut, but couldn't hurt him.
Word Spirit Time Zero, a paradox in the Word Spirit Periodic Table, its ranking in the table is not even higher than Jun Yan, but Jun Yan has no chance of winning against it. Angers blessed with this Word Spirit is a shadow that shuttles through the cracks of time. He will never make a mistake in timing. Any opponent's action is slowed down in his eyes by a few tenths, just like a slow rewind of a movie. A person who never makes a mistake in timing is invulnerable, unless his opponent is fast enough to offset this effect.
The answer is moments.
The rank of Setsuna is lower than Time Zero, and the result of its evolution is Time Zero. But the true combat power of the Word Spirit is not determined by the ranking order, but only by the environment, timing and usage, just like in the dark, the Kamaitachi is definitely more useful than the evolved Vampire Scythe.
The moment can multiply the speed of the person who releases it. Inuyama He's Iai Slash was accelerated by 128 times, so his sword was still 128 times faster in the field of time zero. In Angé's eyes, the Iai Slash was still incredibly fast. He just accurately calculated the distance of the long sword and Inuyama He's mentality...
This student was going to wield the sword for the sake of his family and dignity, but he did not want to completely break off with the secret party. He knew the consequences of that. The Eight Clans of Sheqi would never have a chance of winning. At the moment when both parents were away, as one of the five outer clans, he had no right to decide the fate of his family.
When they first met, Angers had no intention of accepting the child Inuyama He as his student, but later he discovered Inuyama He's words and was pleasantly surprised, because this was the power that could face Time Zero. So Angers specially trained Inuyama He, wanting to treat him as his opponent, and even wanted him to be his spy in the Snake Eight Families. Although the spy was later cut off, Inuyama He still achieved Angers' original goal, the 128 times faster Iai Slash, a speed that even Time Zero could not see clearly.
"Enough, Inuyama-kun." Gen Chisei gently pressed down Inuyama He's knife-holding hand, stood in the middle of the shattered Tai Chi table, and used his body to block Inuyama He and Angé's line of sight.
"Young Master!" Sakurai Nanami's eyes lit up, but she was immediately confused when she saw another person with a similar appearance behind Minamoto Chisei.
"You guys showed up at the wrong time." Angers smiled and folded his hands, looking at the Cassel group. It was obvious that the students who had been out of touch for a long time had reached some kind of tacit understanding with Yuan Zhisheng, so they showed up together. But to be honest, it would be better if they were not there at this moment, because Angers really wanted to challenge himself and wanted to know if he still had the ability to challenge the Dragon King when his opponent ignored Time Zero.
