Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

“I believe you are genuinely happy,” Nuonuo suddenly said. “You are genuinely happy because you consider Xia Mu your most important friend, even though he has Xia Liyi and Chu Zihang, you still feel this way in your heart.”

Lu Mingfei's face fell: "You...you...you..."

He wanted to deny it, but he didn't know how to refute it. Every word Nuonuo said hit the nail on the head; it was terrifying.

"Headmaster, Norton's body sank into the deep water and was covered by the debris from the self-destruction of Bronze City."

After Principal Angers finished his announcement, he listened to the students' cheers for a while, and then dialed Xia Mu's overseas phone again.

Xia Mu certainly couldn't hand Norton over to him. Not only did he not hand him over, he threw him deep into the ocean, where he was truly buried. This was because the dragon's blood had been drained, and the materials for creating the Philosopher's Stone were gone. Handing it over to Angers would only arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"Did you draw 'Wrath' this time?" Angers asked.

Xia Mu paused for a moment: "Yes, I found that 'Pride' couldn't kill him, so I had to overdraw my power to pull out 'Wrath'."

Angers remained silent for a long time. Even he was shocked by the news. In his opinion, "Rage" was something that only Lu Mingfei could pull out, and the requirements for bloodline had reached the extreme.

If Lu Mingfei is a "dragon-slaying weapon," then what about Xia Mu?

“Our agreement has been reached, Principal, don’t forget what you promised,” Xia Mu suddenly said.

Angers didn't react for a moment: "What?"

Xia Mu chuckled: "I want to be a global superstar!"

Although slaying the Dragon King can quickly boost popularity and unlock higher bloodlines, more popularity is always better.

Angers was somewhat amused and exasperated: "You'll soon be a global superstar among mixed-race people, and tens of millions of mixed-race people will remember your name."

“Ordinary people are people too,” Xia Mu said.

Angers paused for a moment.

He had been thinking about ordinary life for a long time; everything he did was for the sake of slaying the dragon, and he no longer cared about anything else.

Even if it is foreseeable that once the dragon-slaying mission is completed, the next step will be infighting among the hybrids, vying for which side will be the future ruler of the world.

Ordinary people, however, remain the largest group yet the most marginalized.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my promise." Angers hung up the phone, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip amidst the rising steam, and savored the aroma of the tea.

Suddenly, the landline rang.

“Angers, the Board of Trustees has some matters to discuss with you. Please prepare to attend the meeting.” The voice of Frost, Caesar’s uncle and representative of the Gattuso family on the Board of Trustees, came through.

Angers remained calm: "I have nothing to say about Xia Mu."

Frost's voice noticeably turned cold: "So, what about the 'Seven Deadly Sins'?"

“What are the seven deadly sins?” Angers asked.

Frost: "..."

Chapter 174 Cunning Old Man

"Hello, I am a representative of the Board of Trustees, from the Gattuso family, Parcy."

At Chicago train station, a group of people are waiting for the train back to Kassel College.

A young man dressed in a sharp suit, looking just like an office secretary, came up to Xia Mu, shook his hand, and smiled kindly.

The others looked at each other, wondering why the school board had sent someone to see Xia Mu. They surrounded Xia Mu and looked at Percy together.

Facing this group of Lionheart Society elites who had just returned from slaying the dragon, Percy showed no nervousness and said to Xia Mu in a friendly manner, "I have no ulterior motives; I am simply here on behalf of the Board of Trustees to collect an academy asset."

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow: "What?"

Percy pointed to the Seven Deadly Sins on his back: "That sword case."

"Why should I give it to you?" Xia Mu asked calmly.

“The college’s assets are the assets of the board of trustees, and I am here on behalf of the board of trustees to take them away.” Percy showed his ID card.

Xia Mu saw those two unusually childlike eyes and never doubted his identity, but handing over the Seven Deadly Sins just like that seemed inappropriate.

"This was given to me by the principal, and only the principal can take it back."

Percy frowned: "You need to understand that the Board of Trustees is the owner of the college's assets and has the right to dispose of all assets."

“Oh,” Xia Mu nodded, “Then let the board of directors convey the instructions to the principal, and then let the principal come and collect them and give them to you.”

Percy looked him up and down, seemingly unable to comprehend the source of his unwavering refusal.

According to the school board's current speculation, the key to Xia Mu's ability to defeat the Dragon King lies in the "Seven Deadly Sins" themselves, and his own abilities cannot compare to Caesar, who was trained by Gattuso from a young age.

Therefore, the reason for requesting the "Seven Deadly Sins" this time is to reserve them for Caesar, rather than giving them to a student from the Japanese branch, and certainly not to allow him to use them to achieve more dragon-slaying feats.

God's Arrival

Caesar was the destined king, the half-blood king.

"What if I absolutely have to take it with me today?" Percy's smile vanished.

In fact, Angers was not strictly a subordinate of the Board of Trustees. They did not have a good alternative, so when Angers refused their request for the "Seven Deadly Sins," the Board of Trustees had no way to force him to submit.

However, if the user, Xia Mu, handed it over himself, then Angers wouldn't be able to take it back easily.

"If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away."

Xia Mu's words caused the atmosphere to freeze completely.

This is a train platform. Although there aren't many people on this train, a few ordinary people still walk by and look at this group with curious expressions.

Suddenly, as Percy faced the platform, a flash of gold appeared in his eyes.

A powerful force emanated from him, instantly pushing everyone away within a three-meter radius, leaving only the Seven Deadly Sins flying through the air.

Word of Power: A Dustless Land!

"Humph."

Xia Mu gave a cold snort, and his eyes flashed for a moment as well. Just as Percy's hand was about to grab the Seven Deadly Sins, the sword box suddenly flew back on its own and fell into Xia Mu's hand.

"Word of Power...Sword Control?"

Percy missed his target and stopped in place without making any further moves.

This is a public place after all, and we cannot overturn the worldview of ordinary people.

"I appreciate your concession."

Xia Mu expressionlessly put the Seven Deadly Sins back on his back.

Percy gave him a deep look, then turned and left.

If I remember correctly, Xia Mu's apparent Word of Power is the Child of the Wind King, but it seems that it's more than that. A hybrid who can possess several Words of Power at the same time must be reported to the Board of Directors.

Perhaps the "seven deadly sins" are not the key; he himself is.

At this moment, the special train slowly pulled into the station.

The senior elites of the Lionheart Society all looked at Xia Mu. Since Susie needed timely treatment, Chu Zihang escorted her back first. There were only two vice presidents, Xia Mu and Lancelot, in the main group, so they naturally listened to Xia Mu.

"It's alright, let's get in the car."

Natsuki smiled, patted Seven Deadly Sins on the shoulder, took Erii's hand, and got into the car together.

Half an hour later, in the principal's office.

"Principal, the 'Seven Deadly Sins' are returned to you."

Xia Mu was about to put down the sword case on his back, but Angers stopped him.

"Take this first," he poured Xia Mu a cup of tea. "Did someone from the school board ask you for it?"

Xia Mu nodded, took the teacup and drank some water, then looked up and asked with a smile, "I didn't give it to him, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"well done."

Angers smiled and, without trying to hide anything from him, said frankly, "Although Kassel College is indeed their asset, how to use this asset is still up to me."

“I have a feeling they won’t give up easily,” Xia Mu said.

Angers paused for a moment: "It will probably be transferred to Caesar's hands..."

He suddenly laughed, a laugh that had a hint of cunning and treachery in it.

"What's wrong?" Xia Mu asked, puzzled.

Angers suddenly pulled a box out from under his desk; its size and shape were very similar to the Seven Deadly Sins' sword case.

"look."

He pushed open the box and took out its contents.

Xia Mu's eyes widened slightly upon seeing this: "'Arrogance,' 'Wrath,' 'Gluttony'?!"

They were three counterfeit weapons!

“These are the last three of the Seven Deadly Sins. No one below S-rank can pull them out. Take these three and replace them with these imitations.” Angers chuckled.

Xia Mu stared in disbelief, and after a long while, he uttered four words: "A cunning old fox."

Angers glanced at him: "Old shoulders, super smooth?"

"Yes, it describes the principal as open-minded, wise, magnanimous, and humble." Xia Mu said seriously.

Idioms are profound and complex, but not so easy to learn.

Angers nodded in satisfaction: "That's called strategy and flexibility."

Xia Mu nodded repeatedly, pulled out the last three of the Seven Deadly Sins, and inserted the fake ones.

To prevent others from pulling it out, he melted the tip of the sword and welded it to the sword case.

hey hey hey...

He carried the three most precious dragon-slaying weapons back to his dormitory... Erii's room.

"Mumu, what are you doing?"

Erii, with her shoulders bare, leaned over the edge of the bathtub, craning her neck to look at him.

"Study alchemy."

Xia Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, holding three alchemical weapons, pondering and searching for a breakthrough.
