"One is the burial ground of the gods that everyone has visited, and the other place only has one name, called the 'Well of Bones'. The burial ground of the gods contains the skull and scales of the White Emperor. The rest of the body is buried in the Well of Bones, including the vertebrae that represent the second greatest source of power for dragons."
"After all that the Inuyama family head has said, does the White Emperor's remains in the Well of Remains have some special function?" Caesar asked.
"No!" Inuyama He scratched his gray hair somewhat embarrassedly. "I'm telling you all this because if the White Emperor wants to reclaim all the power he held in his prime, then the Well of Corpses is the place he must go! We can set up a trap there and wait for him to come to us!"
“But there’s still a problem!” Angers, who had been silent until now, interjected, “The White Emperor is currently recovering his strength in Nibelungen, and no one is certain… When he recovers for a while and comes back to the Well of Bones, will we still have enough power to kill him?”
“But there’s nothing we can do about it, isn’t there? Teacher, I don’t think you can gain any advantage over the White Emperor by personally leading the team into Nibelungen! That dragon has been the nightmare of the Snake Clan for thousands of years. We know its power better than anyone!” Inuyama He stared intently at Angers and said in a deep voice.
"This won't work, that won't work! What do we want..." Lu Mingfei muttered under his breath.
“It seems there are only two plans now!” Angers took a puff of his cigar. “Since both plans are dangerous, let’s do it the old way and vote by show of hands! Aga will vote on behalf of the Snake Clan.”
Angers crossed his arms and scanned his students with his imposing eyes.
“I’ve brought the Seven Deadly Sins from the academy, but when Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, forged them, he didn’t specifically forge a weapon to counter the White Emperor. So… I’m not sure if this set of alchemical swords will actually work against the White Emperor!”
"We may all die in this operation, but no matter the outcome, after this battle, we will all be heroes of all mankind!"
"For the glory of mankind!" Angers exclaimed, striking his chest.
"For the glory of humanity!" The other members also stood up from their seats, in the same action and with the same voice.

151 The seventh member of the Board of Trustees
The voting process didn't take long; the results were fresh off the press just minutes later.
The plan to wait for the White Emperor at the Well of Bones narrowly and by a hair's breadth outweighed the plan to enter Nibelungen and fight him directly.
"Then, get ready! We're going to kill the enemy, or... die!" Angers narrowed his eyes, his gray pupils revealing an undisguised chill and killing intent.
The coldness of Angers lasted only a moment, and a smile returned to the old man's face shortly afterward.
"Alright, you guys go do what you need to do! I'm going to see an old friend. Ah He, how about we get something nice to eat tonight?"
After saying that, Angers smiled and left on his own, leaving his group of students staring at each other in disbelief.
"The headmaster really lives a carefree life!" Caesar chuckled dryly.
"Our teacher has always been like this, before and now!" A look of reminiscence flashed across Inuyama He's face. "Gentlemen, tonight the Snake Clan is hosting a banquet at Tamamo-no-Mae to offer our blessings for your great dragon-slaying achievements! Please do us the honor of joining us." Inuyama He said with a smile.
“Of course, we will definitely go,” Caesar replied with a smile. “Then let’s look forward to the delicious food and wine tonight!”
"I'm sure you'll all be satisfied!"
"Hahaha……"
The meeting officially came to a close amidst the laughter of a group of grown men.
Just as Tang Yu was laughing with Inuyama He, Angers, who had just left the nightclub, had already made his way through several turns and arrived at a secluded alley.
It's past 8 p.m. now, and the sky is dark, with dark clouds covering the sky, and you can hardly see any stars.
In the pitch-black alley, the only light source was the flashing neon lights in the distance, but they were completely useless...
“Hey old man! If you’re going to meet, can’t you pick a nicer place? Forget hotels and coffee shops, at least pick a well-lit place! It’s not like we’re having a spy rendezvous, why are you being so secretive?” Angers rolled his eyes.
"You're so demanding. I'm happy to be here. What can you do to me?" Another aged voice came from the darkness. It was "Quick Gunner" Henkel.
"So, has the plan to deal with the White Emperor been finalized?" Han Gao asked softly, his eyes narrowed.
"It's almost settled! Why did you suddenly ask to meet me... Does your mixed-blood family also want to get involved in the extermination of the White Emperor?"
“Of course!” Han Gao nodded in agreement. “That’s the White Emperor, the unparalleled White Emperor. Who wouldn’t want to possess His power?”
“If you want to participate, then participate. I have no objection!” Angers puffed on his cigar. “As long as you’re not afraid of death, I have no problem with anyone getting involved! As for the White Emperor’s legacy… well, that’ll have to be decided by each person’s own abilities!”
"Then it's settled!" As soon as Angers finished speaking, Henkel immediately and hastily finalized the matter, as if afraid that Angers would change his mind.
"Then... what do you think about us sending two people over?"
"I have no objection. But I must tell you in advance that hybrids with a bloodline level below A-grade are not allowed to move freely in the White Emperor's territory, so don't send just any Tom, Dick, or Harry to cause trouble!"
"Of course I know that! It's not like you're the only one who's ever slain a dragon king! Back then, Ishtar..." Han Gao's expression suddenly changed halfway through his sentence, and he swallowed the rest of the sentence back.
"What did you just say?" Angers asked, seemingly not having heard clearly.
"I didn't say anything, you misheard me, old man!" Han Gao seemed to have just let slip something important, and now he instinctively tried to appear calm.
Seeing that Angers didn't seem inclined to press further, Henkel breathed a sigh of relief and steered the conversation in another direction.
"Speaking of which, old man Angers, when we used to talk business, you always tried to raise the price and ask for an exorbitant amount! Why did you agree so easily this time?" Han Gao's tone was somewhat suspicious.
“It’s nothing. I just feel that the plan to exterminate the White Emperor cannot be carried out by the Snake Clan alone.” Angers tapped the folding knife on his wrist lightly, his voice revealing a strange meaning.
"As for the board of directors, I don't plan to ask them for help! Letting those bloodsucking bastards get involved will only complicate things further! So... bringing you in might be a good option!"
After listening to Angers' explanation, Henkel remained silent for a moment, then the cunning old man suddenly posed another seemingly unrelated question.
"Old man Angers, what task has the board of directors assigned you this time?"
"Oh, how did you know they assigned me a task?" Angers seemed unsurprised by Henkel's words, asking with a half-smile.
"That's a secret of the Western aristocratic families!" Han Gao had no intention of answering the question.
“Alright, since it’s a secret, I won’t ask any more questions! As for my mission…” Angers took a deep drag on his cigar and then spat the remaining cigarette butt onto the ground.
"Those old bastards on the board of directors made me bring the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake Clan back! When the Snake Clan was resisting the invasion of the Corpse Guardians, those bastards saw through the keyhole reconnaissance satellite over Japan that little girl was using the Word of Power O Judgment to unleash her divine power at sea! That kind of power that is almost godlike... How could those greedy old guys possibly let it go?"
"And what is your choice?" Han Gao asked.
“You already know my choice!” Angers chuckled deeply. “I know that girl; she’s a good kid. She’s a good match for my student! Those bastards on the board of directors… they won’t be able to keep up this for long!”
"Judging from your tone, you seem quite confident about overthrowing the board of directors."
“Of course!” Angers’ tone carried a hint of arrogance. “Of the seven board members, two have already explicitly expressed their support for me. Of the remaining five, three are fence-sitters! Do you think I wouldn’t be confident?”
"Two school board members who support you..." Henkel stroked the gray stubble on his chin. "One should be that female school board member, Elizabeth Lowen. And the other? Could it be that mysterious school board member who contributes billions every year but never attends school board meetings?"
“It’s him!” Angers gave an affirmative answer.
"Then his identity is..."
“You don’t need to know his identity. All you need to know is that the power of that school board member is beyond imagination!” Angers’ voice unconsciously carried a hint of respect.
"It's rare to see someone praised like that by you, Angers! Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious about that person's identity!"
“Your curiosity is useless. Believe me, apart from a few people who know of his existence, you won’t find any clues about him anywhere else in this world!” Angers took a deep breath and then said.

152 Night banquet in front of Tamamo
"Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, have your chosen people from the hybrid world assemble at the entrance of the Genji Heavy Industries building! We will be heading to that mysterious place... the Well of Hidden Bones, together with the Snake Clan!"
After saying that, Angers seemed to remember something else, "Remember to have your people prepare weapons, medicines and other supplies. I will have the Snake Clan handle the handover with you! This will be a tough battle!"
"Do you even need to tell me that, you old man!"
"Alright, now that everything's said, I'm not wasting my life here with you, you old bastard! I have a banquet waiting for me tonight, so I need to look my best!" Angers glanced at Han Gao defiantly, then said:
"Hey old bastard, we're from the same generation, and I'm even a few years older than you. But why do you look so old, while I look so handsome?"
Han Gao: "..."
Henkel feels like he's about to have a heart attack from all the anger today!
"I'm not arguing with you!" Han Gao waved his hand. "I need to go coordinate the transportation of supplies now. And, old man... you're such a scoundrel! You're over 130 years old, and you're still trying to seduce young girls!"
“I’m happy, no amount of money can buy that.” Angers remained unmoved.
……
That evening, in the luxurious building known as "Tamamo-no-Mae," the Snake Clan held a lavish banquet. All important figures who had nothing urgent to attend to were present to enjoy the revelry before the dragon-slaying war.
The dishes prepared by "Tamamo-no-Mae" are the famous kaiseki cuisine. The aroma of the food, the girl's body fragrance, the sweet scent of incense... all kinds of fragrances blend together in this golden hall, which appears somewhat decadent under the dazzling lights.
The maid that Inuyama He brought from the Inuyama family carefully raised her head. She glanced at the men in black sitting at the dining table. Without exception, they all carried a strong smell of blood, and their bright golden eyes contained an indescribable power.
This is a grand feast for dragons!
Seeing a man in black looking at her, the maid quickly lowered her head and focused on pouring wine for the guest next to her.
Although the guest served by this maid was also dressed in black and exuded a cold aura, the maid was not afraid.
Why is this?
Of course, it's because this man in black is very handsome!
Good looks are everything!
The man in black, Masayuki Chisei, sat in the most honored seat in the entire "Tamamo-no-Mae" hall, raising a cup of sake and toasting the other guests in the distance.
"May we win this war! Cheers, gentlemen!" With that, Genjiro drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"Everything for the Snake Clan!" A group of powerful figures from the underworld raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.
The atmosphere at the scene was filled with a strong sense of yakuza spirit.
Of course, not everyone is as energetic as these yakuza bosses.
At this moment, Tang Yu was staring at the dishes in front of him with a headache. Although the dishes were exquisitely presented and smelled delicious, Tang Yu felt a little overwhelmed.
"Mingfei, don't you have a Japanese travel guide? Does it say how to eat this thing?" Tang Yu leaned down next to Lu Mingfei and asked in a low voice.
Meanwhile, Lu Mingfei gave Tang Yu a bewildered look, then said in a somewhat exasperated tone, "That's a tourist guide for ordinary people! How could it possibly describe how to eat this level of cuisine!"
It seems we can't count on that unlucky kid.
Then I turned my head to look at Fingel on the other side.
Tsk tsk... Look at how this guy is stuffing food into his mouth with both hands, you can't count on him at all.
Fortunately, in addition to the troublemaker, the expressionless guy, and the glutton, the Kassel team also has a golden retriever who has received aristocratic education.
So Tang Yu squinted and pretended to observe Caesar's eating habits.
The Italian blond man, reeking of cologne, was holding a pair of chopsticks, slowly dipping the tender shrimp in the saucepan, then squeezing on a little wasabi and gently putting it into his mouth, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
Tang Yu followed suit and started eating as well, and to his surprise, it tasted really good!
Throughout the entire dinner, Tang Yu and Lu Mingfei spent almost all of their time learning Caesar's eating style.
