204 The Death of King Solomon

"Principal, you don't look too well! What happened? How could such a commotion have occurred?" Tang Yu asked anxiously as soon as they met.

Normally, Angers, that irreverent old man, would have teased him a bit before getting to the point with a smirk.

But today... Angers was clearly not in the mood for jokes! At this moment, the old man's face was solemn, and he exuded a kind of chilling killing intent.

"The academy has been invaded by the Dragon King! That damned Dragon King has somehow managed to sneak into the underground research institute!"

Tang Yu: "..."

What is meant by a "cursed mouth"?

When Tang Yu left the dormitory, he was still wondering if the Dragon King had invaded!

Now it's confirmed!

"So what's the situation now? Are there heavy casualties?" Tang Yu asked again.

Tang Yu's question made Angers sigh deeply. A trace of sorrow appeared in the eyes of this steel-like dragon slayer, and he answered Tang Yu's question in a rather heavy tone.

"The casualties are severe; for Kassel College, it's a devastating blow! Tenured professors and more than half of the assistant professors and research assistants have perished!"

"What?" Tang Yu's voice suddenly rose an octave. "That's impossible!"

Tang Yu shook his head in disbelief.

"Principal Angers, you're not kidding me, are you?! How could the casualties be so high?"

"Even disregarding the security measures of the underground research institute, without unleashing a world-destroying incantation, it would take the Dragon King a considerable amount of time to kill so many people! If that were the case, the alarm should have been sounded long ago!"

"The truth is... before the anomaly occurred in the underground research institute, everything was peaceful at Kassel College! This proves that this disaster was not the work of the Dragon King!" Tang Yu analyzed calmly.

“My child, your reasoning is quite correct!” Angers gently rubbed his temples. “It is true that a Dragon King invaded the underground research institute, but this disaster was not directly caused by the Dragon King!”

"That dragon king didn't even target our researchers; it simply took something from the underground research institute!"

A flickering golden light flashed in Angers' aged but sharp eyes, and the old man's voice carried an ominous aura.

"More than a century ago, the dragons, in their quest to seize that item, orchestrated the 'Summer Mourning' incident, which shocked the entire hybrid race world! And the name of that item... is 'The Black King's Egg'!"

"The 'Black King's Egg' was lost during the 'Summer Mourning' incident, but half a century ago, it fell into the hands of the Secret Society once again. King Solomon carefully kept the dragon egg until one day ago..."

"The Black King's Egg..." Tang Yu exclaimed in awe, though he didn't quite understand it.

“This isn’t right, Principal! Since the Dragon King’s goal was only to obtain the Black King’s Egg, then logically… He shouldn’t have caused such severe casualties!” Tang Yu repeated his question once again.

"The Dragon King failed to retrieve the Black King's Egg!" Angers' voice was somewhat low. "Just as the Dragon King was about to leave, King Solomon, the leader of the tenured professors, activated the self-destruct mechanism of the underground research institute..."

"Hundreds of tons of nitroglycerin were poured into the underground research institute and then detonated... In the confined space underground, even the Dragon King could not escape safely from such a dense explosion!"

"In other words... the researchers who remained at the institute sacrificed hundreds of their lives to save a Dragon King!"

"This..." Tang Yu was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

According to Tang Yu's values, exchanging hundreds of lives for a Dragon King would definitely be a huge loss!

But the old-fashioned guys in the underground research institute didn't think so.

They dedicated their lives to slaying dragons; the lives of hundreds of humans were utterly insignificant compared to the noble life of a dragon king!

So, in the eyes of those professors, this was an absolute steal!

Tang Yu didn't know what words to use to describe them. Maybe... they were right!

……

Eight hours later, 80% of the executive department members had rushed back to the academy's main campus.

Professor Schneider brought in numerous excavators and began directing the executive team members to excavate the underground research institute, which had been reduced to ruins.

Finally, around noon on the second day, a dark purple, oval-shaped dragon egg, preserved in a vacuum culture chamber, was delivered to Angers.

“How beautiful! This is the noble Black Emperor!” Angers tapped the bulletproof glass shell of the incubation chamber with his knuckles, praising it tirelessly, but his expression was as cold as an abyss.

Angers has already paid too high a price for this dragon egg!

More than a century ago, a conspiracy stemming from this dragon egg buried the first members of the Lionheart Society in Meneke Manor... And now, even those madmen who dedicated their entire lives to science have died without a complete corpse because of this dragon egg!

The rage burning in Angers' heart at this moment was beyond description!

After a long while, Angers tossed the "Black King's Egg" to Schneider.

“Professor Schneider, keep this black egg safe! Just put it in... Norma’s central server room! It was originally set to be ‘uninhabitable’, so even if the Dragon King came, he would have to go through a lot of trouble to get in.”

Angers' suggestion made Schneider's lips twitch slightly: "Headmaster, how can I get into a place that even the Dragon King can't enter?"

“Then leave it to Fingel! As a hacking expert, I believe our news agency director should have a solution!” Angers’ tone revealed a deeper meaning.

"By the way, we will be holding a memorial service tomorrow afternoon in Valhalla for the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the underground research institute. All personnel who are not currently attending should wear black and be on time!"

After saying that, Angers turned and left with a cigar in his mouth, leaving everyone with a dashing yet lonely silhouette.

In Angers’ long life of over a hundred years, he had witnessed far too many partings and deaths!

Therefore, Angers knew that the most important thing now was not to grieve for his friend, but to take revenge!

Now, Angers is going to see someone!

Perhaps it shouldn't be called "he" as a person. Compared to humans, "he" is more like a high and mighty god. "His" indifferent eyes are always full of smiles, but they contain a kind of cold indifference that keeps people at a distance.

During the "Summer Mourning" incident, the first members of the Lionheart Society left Angers alone in the cellar. Then Menek and his friends, with the strength of mortals, faced off against Li Wuyue, the King of the Sky and Wind.

That battle ended in the complete annihilation of the first generation of the Lionheart Society. In the final moments, the first Lionheart Society leader, Menek, used forbidden power to perish together with Li Wuyue.

205 Angers and "Supreme"

When the Secret Service received the news and rushed to the Meneque estate, which had been reduced to ruins, they found Angers, who was heavily wounded and had been wandering alone in the ruins for two days.

At that time, Angers was practically a soulless walking corpse!

No one knows how Angers, with his severely wounded and weakened body, managed to bury all his friends in the earth.

Of course, Angers himself knew very well that the reason he was able to wander through the ruins for two days with his dying body was not due to his superhuman willpower, but to the help of a mysterious person!

Thinking of this, Angers' face showed a nostalgic smile.

When I first met "him", the little boy in the old-fashioned suit seemed to be in his teenage years, and he called himself "Supreme".

That was the first time Angers and "Supreme" met.

For more than a century since then, Angers has maintained a subtle connection with this mysterious "Supreme".

Angers' ability to rise from a newly minted dragon slayer with only bloodline to the position of principal of Kassel College was not only due to his own exceptional wisdom and strength, but also inseparable from the help of "Supreme".

Now, the enraged old man is about to meet the "Supreme" again, and Angers wants to seek an answer from the "Supreme".

……

Angers, dressed in a black suit, arrived in downtown Chicago under a black umbrella amidst the light drizzle.

His destination was Cloud Gate, a landmark building in Millennium Park, where he had arranged to meet the mysterious "Supreme" (a powerful figure in the area).

From a great distance, Angers spotted the "Supreme," dressed in a white suit, holding a white umbrella, and leisurely licking an ice cream under the Cloud Gate.

Ange smiled and quickly walked to the "Supreme's" side, greeting him softly, "We meet again, Your Excellency!"

“Yes, we meet again.” The Supreme licked a vanilla ice cream, then handed Angers another mint ice cream from the box beside him.

"Try it, it's a new flavor! Come to think of it, the last time we met must have been back in the 1990s! More than thirty years have passed, and Angers, you haven't changed a bit!"

Angers picked up the ice cream and took a small bite. "The 'last time we met' you mentioned must have been at the Doomsday Party! That time, I was lucky to have your help, otherwise I would have been stuck there as a stud!"

"Isn't being a stallion your lifelong dream?" The Supreme One chuckled. "Tell me, what brings you here this time? You, Angers, aren't the type to waste time catching up with old friends!"

An ice cream was quickly devoured, and after licking it clean, "Supreme" became serious.

“Your Majesty, you must have already received news of the Dragon King’s attack on Kassel College last night!” Angers said.

"Yes, I already know!" The Supreme nodded. "It seems that your Kassel College suffered heavy casualties this time!"

“It was indeed a devastating defeat…” Angers said softly in a sorrowful voice, “So, I came here to ask Your Majesty… who was the Dragon King who attacked Kassel College this time?”

"He is the emperor who rules over the water element—the king of the ocean and water! This dragon king is named Heinrich. In a sense... he can be considered an old friend of yours, Angers!"

“Oh, what do you mean?” Angers raised an eyebrow slightly, though he didn’t recall ever knowing the king of the sea and water.

Do you remember what happened in the Greenland ice sea ten years ago?

“Of course I remember!” Angers already understood.

"This King of the Ocean and Water is the Dragon King who was revived in the icy sea!" The Supreme One stated a terrifying fact in a mysterious tone.

Chicago's weather is always unpredictable; it was drizzling just a moment ago, but now the rain has stopped and the sun is shining.

The bright sunlight shone on the earth, making even the puddles on the ground appear exceptionally dazzling.

The "Supreme" folded his umbrella and slowly strolled into the distance, his voice reaching Angers' ears from afar.

“Angers, I’ve already given you the answer to this question, so you owe me another favor! Oh, and by the way, let me tell you something else.”

"The explosion at Kassel College didn't completely destroy Heinrich; he was only seriously injured! Although my men finished him off with a Philosopher's Stone bullet, the effect wasn't significant, and he still managed to escape!"

Just as Angers was filled with surprise, "Supreme," dressed in a white suit, returned for some unknown reason.

The Supreme One shrugged helplessly, then spoke again: "Angers, you know! Dragon Kings are incredibly resilient. As long as Heinrich goes back and recuperates for a few more months, he will be full of life again!"

"As a friend of many years, I have a piece of advice for you! Take advantage of this period of weakness and destroy Him quickly! Otherwise... once Heinrich recovers, who knows how many more people will die at your Kassel College!"

“Your Majesty…you’re talking a lot today! What exactly do you want to say to me?” Angers scrutinized the Supreme before him, his expression as if he were just meeting the Supreme.

"Alright, actually I came back to give you another piece of information. Do you want to hear it?" the Supreme said with a helpless expression.

"Of course I'll listen!"

“Then let me tell you…” The Supreme One leaned close to Angers’ ear with a mysterious look, “After escaping from Kassel College, Heinrich went to the place where He had been reborn from his cocoon, which is the Greenland Ice Sea!”

After hearing the information given by the "Supreme," Angers, the dragon slayer as hard as steel, fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Angers stared at the "Supreme" with his pale gray eyes. "Your Majesty, you have revealed so much information to me... This can't be charity, can it?"

“Of course! Angers, you’re a smart man, so I won’t beat around the bush with you!” The Supreme One revealed a smile. “Six months from now, I hope you will help me reclaim my body from the Doomsday Faction! I won’t let you work for nothing! In exchange, after it’s done, I will tell you how to completely destroy the Black King.”
