A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 152 Kassel was quite lively in the early morning.
Kassel was not peaceful tonight. The roar of helicopter rotors shattered the silence of the night as four helicopters carrying members of thirteen North American mixed-race families landed in Kassel.

In the vast square, Angers held a cigar, letting the night breeze caress him.

Anger didn't try to block or back down when the helicopter landed; he seemed to enjoy the feeling of the wind making the hem of his trench coat flutter.

As the noise subsided and eventually stopped, the four helicopter doors opened from the inside, and the first person to step out was a kind-looking elderly man.

The old man, hunched over, leaning on a cane, wearing a cowboy hat with a police star on his head and small-framed round glasses, shakily landed with his cane on the ground and his other hand gripping the helicopter door.

Angers just watched him quietly without going up to help him. Judging by their appearances, the two were actually about the same age.

The rest of the people following Angers—Professors Schneider, Guderian, and Manstein—none of them dared to underestimate this old man.

Don't let this old man's advanced age and frail appearance fool you.

But within the mixed-race community, he is the renowned "Quick Hand Henkel," and the leader of the thirteen mixed-race families in North America.

He is famous not for his many glorious dragon-slaying achievements, but because Henkel once wounded Angers and has survived to this day.

Regardless of why Angers didn't kill him or retaliate, the fact that he's still alive and well is a testament to his skill.

This is what is most admirable. In the mixed-race circle, the most recognized and publicly acknowledged combat power is Principal Angers of Kassel.

Henkel wounded Angers without paying any price; doesn't that deserve our respect?
"Old friend, long time no see." Henrault walked up to Angers with a harmless smile, even holding up his crutch and opening his arms.

I want to give a hug to an old friend I haven't seen in a long time.

Judging from their joyful and nostalgic expressions, it was as if Angers had never been shot or wounded.

Angers returned the gesture with a slight smile, picked up his cigar, freed his hands, and gave Henkel a light hug, which lasted only briefly.

Seven other young men disembarked from the helicopter, each raising their right fist as if to salute Angers.

Many people noticed that they showed off the silver rings on their right index fingers, with different totems on the huge ring faces, which were their respective family crests.

It must be due to time constraints that the thirteen families couldn't all be gathered in time, so only representatives from seven families could come first.

Seeing that Angers was letting go and didn't want to hold on any longer, Han Gao also let go and took a step back, saying jokingly, "Oh, Angers, after all these years, you don't still hold a grudge against me, do you?"

Shouldn't those petty grudges gradually disappear into the wind with the passage of time?

"It's rare to see someone still alive from our era. Won't you invite me in for a seat and a cup of tea?"

Angers took the cigar back and beckoned behind his back. An executive member then presented Henkel with a cigar and corresponding tools on a tray.

“As long as you stand in front of me and speak, I won’t hold a grudge.” Angers told Henkel with a playful tone, but he was still worried about Henkel’s back: “I have other guests tonight.”

"If you're tired, you might as well go in and rest first."

"Oh?" Han Gao adjusted his small-rimmed glasses, looked up at the beautiful starry sky, and said, "There are other guests? Could you introduce them to me beforehand?"

“Of course.” Angers was happy to banter with Henkel, as it was a good opportunity to probe why so many forces had gathered in Kassel: “You will have to meet eventually.”

"It's nothing more than hearing about what happened in Philadelphia. One of our board members, Frost Gattuso, is on his way."

"And Sir Fernand from London, who happens to be in North America, is planning to visit. He has already boarded the special train I arranged and is about to arrive at the college."

"What I'm particularly curious about is that, aside from the school board, did you and Sir Fernand discuss this beforehand?"

"They all chose to visit us late at night, when we were all getting ready to go to sleep."

"You know, at my age, if I fall asleep and get woken up, it's very difficult for me to fall back asleep. Isn't that the case for you, Henkel?"

Henkel continued cutting his cigar, offering no direct answer, but instead giving Angers a meaningful smile. He neither denied the old man's shallow sleep nor explained the purpose of his visit to Kassel.

In fact, as early as that evening after numerous news reports were released in Philadelphia, the members of the thirteen North American families had already received a report from a member of their think tank.

The thirteen families took this matter very seriously, simultaneously imposing strict restrictions on the spread of information and urgently notifying Han Gao.

They went to great lengths, even using helicopters to bring people over, and also dispatched personnel to conduct a detailed investigation of the abandoned elevated road.

The result was nothing but a mess, and naturally, nothing could be found.

The clever thirteen families hadn't forgotten about surveillance; upon reviewing the footage, they discovered the problem.

The surveillance footage clearly captured the group of six students from Kassel.

How were we able to confirm they were students from Kassel? It was all thanks to Chu Zihang and Fingel appearing on screen.

As mentioned earlier, Chu Zihang had asked Schneider for a mission, so he flew all over North America in a short time, hunting down various servants and corrupted hybrids.

During this process, countless people from the thirteen North American companies remembered Chu Zihang's face; seeing Chu Zihang was like seeing Kassel.

Finger was a genius from Kassel eight years ago, also on their recorded archives.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is what Chu Zihang and his group took away after arriving at the scene.
It actually filled four large trucks!
They then hacked into the traffic system and forcibly shut down surveillance cameras along the route, making it impossible to trace the whereabouts of the four trucks.

To outsiders, this method of instantly infiltrating a city's traffic monitoring system must be the work of Norma, the artificial intelligence unique to Kassel College.

First, Chu Zihang entered the abandoned overpass, and then Norma deleted the surveillance footage. Who wouldn't suspect Kassel?
Fortunately, in the last few seconds of footage captured by the surveillance cameras, there were a few seconds of footage of four large trucks.

Based on the heavy pressure exerted on the truck's wheels, experts deduced that it was likely fully loaded with cargo.

Nobody's an idiot. If the people of Kassel could tell from the video that it was a battle between two kings, then the other hybrid factions could certainly also see that it was a battle between the Fire King and the Mountain King.

Even if we don't know who will win or lose, money is a powerful motivator. What if one of the Dragon Kings loses this battle?

What if the Dragon King unfortunately dies, leaving behind a Dragon King-level dragon bone cross?

Too tempting!

No hybrid power could resist this level of temptation!

The Dragon King-grade Dragon Bone Cross is a priceless treasure, not only because it represents the historic achievement of humanity obtaining Dragon King-grade materials for the first time, but also because it contains the authority and power of the Dragon King!
It can be used to forge dragon-slaying equipment like the 'Philosopher's Stone', but that's just the most basic application. With higher skills, various hybrid factions can even use the Dragon Bone Cross to steal the power and authority of the Dragon King!

This is the greatest benefit!

The thought that their own family might be able to cultivate a hybrid race at the level of a dragon king is enough to make the major powers sit still.
Even if it wasn't the Dragon Bone Cross, and the Fire King and Mountain King weren't dead, the fact that they left behind some kind of Dragon King-level material would be enough to make them come knocking.

Therefore, Henkel hopes to have a good talk with Angers about cooperation and try to get a share of this feast.

Henkel clearly hadn't anticipated that even though he arrived earliest, he wouldn't be the only visitor.

The fact that the Gattuso family, including Sir Fernand from London, were all coming to visit slightly disrupted his plans.

Sometimes people are just unpredictable; speak of the devil and he appears.

The sound of propellers slowly reappeared in the sky, and in the distance, a train slowly pulled up in front of the Kassel gate.

Sir Robert Frost and Sir Robert Fernand also arrived at the campus, making Kassel a little lively in the early hours of the morning.
