A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 113 The mastermind behind the scenes
The attack on the Moniach and the theft of the Dragon King's bone urn were too serious a matter for Angers to conceal from the Board of Trustees, no matter how influential he was within the school.

Several school board members received the news and called Angers overnight, bombarding him with questions. At the same time, they held an emergency meeting to discuss and reach a consensus.

With everyone working together and mobilizing all their intelligence personnel, they frantically gathered information about the mysterious force through every available channel, determined to get revenge.

After consulting with other school board members, Frost Gattuso then summoned his secretary, Passy.

The Gattuso family is a prestigious family. In secular circles, they are a behemoth that went from being a mafia member to a legitimate family. In mixed-race circles, they are a famous dragon-slaying family with a verifiable history of over a century.

He was a true dragon-slaying nobleman, and he was also involved in and supported the establishment of Kassel College, thus obtaining a position on the Kassel Board of Trustees.

Furthermore, due to the breakthroughs in both the fields of science and technology and alchemy in recent years, the Gattuso family has become increasingly powerful, showing a trend of becoming the first board member of the Kassel School.

Percy Gattuso knocked politely and stepped into the office of the acting head of the family. He was handsome and had blond hair that was slightly lighter than Caesar's.

Even more strangely, his left eye is azure and his right eye is golden, and his bloodline rating surpasses Caesar's, making him the highest among Gattuso's, and he is regarded as a weapon of war by his family.

Because of his rationality and outstanding abilities, he was promoted to senior secretary, which was an exception to the usual procedure.

Percy had no idea what urgent matter Frost, holding such a high position of power, could possibly require to be dealt with so late at night.

After hearing Frost's description, Percy gasped in astonishment. The urn containing the bones of the Bronze and Fire King? It was just stolen like that?
No wonder Lord Frost had to hold a joint meeting with the other board members late at night; the matter was indeed very serious.

Frost, exasperated, handed Percy a document, a comprehensive report on the events surrounding the Moniach: "Send this to Pompeii."

"According to family rules, although that bastard is an incompetent family head, the family head is still the family head and needs to know all the important matters."

Pompeii Gattuso, the true master of the Gattuso family and Caesar's father, was a womanizer who spent 364 out of 365 days a year in women's beds.

Caesar could not respect such a father at all, and even jokingly referred to him as a stallion.

This person, busy traveling the world, tries every day to meet different beautiful women, living a more extravagant life than some novel protagonists.

It's impossible for him to personally spend time and effort managing the family. Occasionally, when Frost, the acting head of the family, wanted to find someone, he couldn't.

Frost was speechless at the head of the family and wished he could scold Pompeii awake and make him truly shoulder the responsibilities of the head of the family.

Unfortunately, Pompeii was always joking and never serious, and nothing could change his mind. The elders of the family were also very supportive of Pompeii, so Frost could only sulk whenever Pompeii was mentioned.

Percy accepted the order and sent intelligence to Pompeii using the family's internal communication methods.

……

In faraway Australia, the Four Seasons Hotel near the Sydney Opera House has an entire floor dedicated to Pompeii.

In each luxury suite, a woman lies alone, her dreams disturbed by the dragons' illusions, each lost in indescribable fantasies.

When they wake up the next day, no matter who asks, they can confidently and without any shame say that they had a wonderful night with Pompeii.

Pompeii, who was regarded as a stud by everyone, was alone in his room, holding an ancient scroll and carefully conducting some kind of advanced alchemical research.

This blond, handsome man, who should have been indulging in a life of pleasure, resembled a learned scholar more than a domineering CEO or patriarch of a wealthy family. His gaze was focused and absorbed in his research, without a trace of distraction. Only when his phone beeped with an AI notification did Pompeii put down the scroll and begin reviewing the documents regarding the failure of the Kuimen Project.

The Gattuso family has enormous ambitions; they were even able to steal most of the program from the Kassel AI Norma and create their own AI unique to Gattuso.

After reviewing the information, Pompeii did not smash his phone in anger; instead, he stared at the sky outside the window with a gloomy expression.

Damn it! Who on earth ruined his plans?
In fact, no one knew that Pompeii had an account on the internet with the ID 'Prince'.

Ten years ago, Pompeii used the ID 'Prince' to post a message promoting the idea that there was a dragon king under the Greenland ice sea.

They successfully lured Kassel College into a trap, sending out a professional execution team, which ultimately led to the Greenland ice sea tragedy.

A year ago, Pompeii, without the knowledge of Frost, the acting head of the family, secretly instructed his family to compile a set of so-called analytical clues about the 'White Emperor City' ruins, which were then leaked to Kassel College.

This led Kassel College to develop the Kuimen Project, an exploration of the Three Gorges.

Many mixed-race forces, including the Kassel College, considered the strongest, and the Gattuso family, one of the top dragon-slaying nobles, were merely pawns in Pompeii's hands.

Basically, Pompeii could move his pieces however he wanted.

They don't even realize they're pawns, let alone resist.

Pompeii, who had been busy for so long, was certainly not doing good deeds, nor was he seeking the influence of the Gattuso family.

He's just craving the dragon bone crosses his brothers and sisters have!
If you kill a dragon king that has not yet formed a cocoon, a dragon bone cross containing the dragon king's power and authority will remain on its corpse.

That was the most precious alchemical treasure in the world, and also the last legacy of a dragon king.

Whoever obtains the Dragon Bone Cross, as long as they can withstand the cleansing effect left by the Dragon King's spirit, can acquire power no less than that of the Dragon King.

Pompeii wanted Kassel College to be the first to slay the dragon, while he secretly hid behind the scenes, keeping it a secret from everyone, and devoured the Dragon Bone Cross alone.

The news of the king of the sea and water, the king of bronze and fire, was first obtained by Pompeii and then passed on to Cassel.

And now they're telling them the Dragon King is gone? That he was robbed?
After meticulous planning and scheming, this was the result he had received; Pompeii was naturally not pleased.

In order to conceal his true identity and maintain his persona as a playboy, Pompeii had to patiently wait until noon the next day before he could reply to Frost's message.

But Pompeii had little patience at this moment; he didn't want to wait! He was eager to uncover everything about this mysterious force and reclaim Constantine's Dragonbone Cross!
With a casual gesture, Pompeii activated his exquisite dragon alchemy, and incredibly, a light-transmitting crack appeared in the surrounding space.

This is a breathtaking sight that must never be seen by anyone. It is the pinnacle of dragon alchemy, one of the seven great achievements: the creation of space!
"Hee-ho~" After the spatial rift was opened, a bloodthirsty and savage horse neighing rang out. The spatial rift gradually expanded, and a dragon-horse that spewed thunder from its mouth and trampled the wind with its eight legs came to answer the call.

An eight-legged celestial horse!

However, it differs slightly from Odin's eight-legged winged horse in mythology. This eight-legged winged horse has an unnatural body, with obvious Deadpool-like bone spurs protruding from its eight legs.

Pompeii, expressionless, mounted his eight-legged winged horse, stepped into the spatial rift, and disappeared. He was going to use the underground intelligence channels he had built up over the years to find the mysterious force that dared to sabotage his plans!
