someone asked loudly.

Sakurai Kogure nodded to the secretary, and the secretary quickly walked up holding a red box and unfolded the folding knife inside to everyone.

Sakurai Kogure introduced with a smile: "It is this folding knife. There is an amazing secret on this knife. Whoever obtains this knife will know the secret."

The uproar grew louder, and countless people thought that this sweet proprietress was crazy.

Sakurai Kogure didn't care. She always kept a decent smile and said to everyone with a smile: "Anyone who knows this secret can realize any wish."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Their eyes were filled with surprise and doubt, yet also revealed deep greed.

Everyone knows that Paradise is a place where wishes come true. It can fulfill any dark and shameful wishes, but it is too difficult to realize it. Only those who win the most money here have one chance, and they have to pay a high price.

But now, your wish can come true by auctioning off a pocket knife.

You need luck to win the most money here, but the auction only looks at financial resources, and most people who come here are those who are not short of money.

Their eyes gradually became hot, but before the excitement could resume, Sakurai Kogure quietly left with the box.

Her mission was accomplished, and she boarded the luxurious elevator covered with gold foil that could only be opened by swiping a card.

She saw Yuan Zhinv sharpening a knife in the white suite on the top floor.

"What are you crazy about?" Sakurai Kogure put the box on the table unhappily. "Auction wishes? You really dare to do that! Is this something that can be traded openly? Does the king know about this?"

Yuan Zhinu seriously corrected her: "It's not an auction of wishes, it's an auction of folding knives, and some secrets are included."

Sakurai Kogure was so angry that he laughed: "What's the secret of this knife? Do you need to make such a big fuss about it?"

"Do you know that after tonight, all of Tokyo, even all of Japan and the whole world, will know about this ridiculous thing?"

When Yuan Zhinv heard this, she just smiled.

How can we attract the owner of the folding knife without making a big fuss?

Chapter 21 Hilbert Jean Angers

Kassel Academy.

In the quaint and elegant principal's office, a white-haired old man was gracefully brewing a pot of green tea.

The old man was very handsome, with a tall figure, and a gorgeous red rose was tucked into the pocket of his black suit.

Hilbert Jean Angers, the president of Kassel Academy, is the greatest dragon slayer of all time, but from the outside, he is just a graceful elderly gentleman with no trace of violence.

Sitting opposite the old man was a strange man wearing a respirator. The man's face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, but his voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as a broken bellows.

"According to reliable information, your folding knife somehow ended up in Japan, and someone is going to auction it off."

The old man was a little confused: "Japan?"

Von Schneider coughed a few times, his voice was very terrible, and the broken tube he used to breathe made a creaking sound. He paused for a long time before continuing to speak.

"It seems that the auction is being manipulated by a Japanese half-blood. Only folding knives are being auctioned, and it is said that a surprising secret is attached."

Ange scratched his head. "What is the Japanese branch doing? Are these lackeys finally preparing to rebel?"

Schneider pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that they are not from the Japanese branch, but from another mixed-race organization. Most of their members are traitors from the Japanese branch."

"But the news is not accurate. Kaguya is on high alert. We know very little about the situation in Japan, and we cannot rule out the possibility that this is a trap specifically targeting us."

"It's a trap..." Angers thought, "Then I have to go and see it."

Schneider was a little surprised. He subconsciously retorted: "If this is a trap set up early, this trip will be quite dangerous."

"So what? Someone stole my knife and prepared a secret. If I don't keep the appointment, it will seem a bit unromantic."

The old man stood up with a smile on his face, his eyes glowing like gold.

……

The cherry-red long knife was dripping with blood. Yuan Zhinv picked up a white towel to wipe it. In front of her, a headless corpse was still twitching, and blood was gushing out, soaking the wooden floor.

Sakurai Kogure squatted on the ground and skillfully threw the hideous head into the trash can. He squatted on the ground and wiped the blood while complaining: "You knew he was unkillable, why did you still kill him?"

Yuan Zhinv thought about it and gave the reason she had said countless times sincerely: "If you want to kill him, just kill him. I don't like him."

"General Wang is looking for you now, it must be because of the auction. I knew he wouldn't sit idly by. I think your auction is a bit shaky."

"Even if you kill him, he will still come looking for you when he resurrects, stop you, and maybe even cause you trouble."

At this point, Sakurai Kogure paused and said, "So why did you organize such a weird auction? Now everyone is staring at us. It's only been one day, and I have already caught three waves of undercover agents sent by the main family."

Yuan Zhinv didn't care at all and said casually, "If we catch them, we'll lock them up first and release them after the auction is over. As for those who dare to cause trouble, we'll just kill them."

Sakurai Kogure has been in the Demon Clan for three years, and has been with the extremely violent and dangerous Minamoto Chijo every day. He has to deal with corpses every now and then, so he has been trained.

Hearing such bloody words, Sakurai Kogure had no reaction, as if it was a common occurrence.

Although she never understood why Gen Chinushi did this, she subconsciously chose to believe Gen Chinushi.

Trust is something that comes out of nowhere, it's sudden and inexplicable, yet it's as solid as a rock.

So even though Minamoto no Chitose refused to say anything and the King's attitude was obviously disapproving, Sakurai Kogure still chose to continue helping Minamoto no Chitose, even if it meant going against the King's general.

During this period, not only the king general, but all those who tried to stop her had their heads chopped off by Yuan Zhinv. Her firm attitude showed her importance of the matter and her unshakable decision.

General Wang didn't know the significance of this auction, and he never took the folding knife seriously from beginning to end. He didn't know why Yuan Zhinv did this, he was just not happy that the matter had become too big a deal.

However, in the past three years, Genjitsu has often done things that are incomprehensible. Each time it was very inexplicable and very consistent with the behavior of a madman, so the king did not take it to heart this time.

Yuan Zhisheng was about to come back, and Yuan Zhinu's attitude was so firm that he didn't want to create any more trouble for the time being and simply left it alone. He was absolutely confident that Yuan Zhinu, who was always under his control, would not be able to cause any trouble.

The auction went on as scheduled.

Gen Chitose did not show up. She stayed alone in the suite on the top floor of Gokurakukan, waiting for the final winner of the auction to be brought up by Sakurai Kogure.

She was actually not sure whether Ange would go to Japan just for a folding knife, and she was even less sure whether he would participate in the auction.

But she really had no other choice. General Wang was keeping a close eye on her, and she couldn't even contact Kassel College. The college had to come to find her.

So she had to make a big deal out of it.

If it was someone else who came up, she would let Sakurai Kogure treat them as she did with other guests in the past and fulfill some of their shameful wishes. She knew that the king would not care about such a small bit of willfulness.

She would think of other ways.

However, Yuan Zhinu also knew clearly that she didn't have much time left, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

It wasn't until she saw Sakurai Kogure leading the handsome old man towards her that her uneasy heart suddenly settled down.

This old man seems to have some kind of magical power. Seeing him makes you feel at peace, as if he can solve any problem. He is so calm that even if the sky falls, he will hold it up. You can find a corner behind him and continue drawing circles.

Yuan Zhinv saw absolute confidence in him, just like the Western aristocrats of the last century, who remained calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of them, and just laughed it off even if the enemy's throat was locked by a knife.

Yuan Zhinu didn't know what the principal looked like, but after seeing this man, Yuan Zhinu felt that Hilbert Jean Angers, the legendary man, could only look like this.

She said calmly to Sakurai Kogure, "Please let me be alone with this distinguished guest for a while."

Sakurai Kogure looked at her with some concern, wanting to say something but stopping himself. However, in the end, he said nothing. He nodded and went out, closing the door behind him.

There were only two of them left on the huge top floor.

Yuan Zhinv bowed respectfully to the old man and said, "Hello, Principal. I'm sorry that I can only meet you in this way."

Angé was also a little surprised. He looked Yuan Zhinv up and down. The girl looked humble and polite, but the aura around her was like a sharp knife, carrying a bloody murderous breath. Just looking at her would burn you.

He is the one who has truly emerged from the mountains of swords and seas of blood.

But that wasn't what surprised him.

"I came to Japan this time with a student who just graduated and came home. His name is Yuan Zhisheng."

He looked at the face of Yuan Zhinv, which was almost identical to Yuan Zhisheng's, and asked word by word, "What is your relationship with him?"

Chapter 22: Just a Reluctant Avenger

Has Yuan Zhisheng returned to Japan? Or did he take the same flight with Ange?

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Yuan Zhinv was stunned for a moment.

It's not that she hadn't thought that Ange would come, but knowing that this might be a trap, he was still so blatant and unconcealed. Wasn't it a bit arrogant?

However, it is understandable that the Japanese branch or something like that may not really be a big deal in the eyes of this legendary principal, at least not as important as his folding knife.

Feeling a little emotional, Yuan Zhinu did not hesitate and answered truthfully.

"Gen Chisei is my twin brother. My name is Gen Chinu, the second daughter of the Gen family."

Ange looked her up and down in surprise: "Hasn't the Yuan family's bloodline disappeared a long time ago? It's ok that a Yuan Zhisheng suddenly appeared many years ago, but how come there is also a second daughter?"

"Why has the Japanese branch never announced your existence?"

The gentleman narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression did not change much, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression that made people feel suffocated for no reason.

"Finally, classmate, I hope you can answer me truthfully why my folding knife appeared in your hand."

"I got the folding knife by accident. I made all this noise just to see you. The sudden appearance of Yuan Zhisheng and I was premeditated."

Genji said to Ange with a serious expression and a sincere tone: "This is a long story, so I hope you can give me some time."

"of course."

Ange smiled slightly, and the invisible sense of oppression disappeared instantly. He turned back into the gentle old gentleman and even played a little joke with his student's sister:

"I spent so much money to take a picture of my own folding knife, so naturally I want to hear the secret."

Yuan Zhinv thought for a moment and spoke carefully: "The story begins several decades ago, in the north of Siberia, within the Arctic Circle, there was an unnamed port that could only be reached by icebreakers..."

Gen Chitose is not a good storyteller, and many details are even unclear, but her calm voice without any ups and downs has a magical power that can make people calm down inexplicably.

She calmly takes the listeners back to the cold winter of 1991, to the shore of the Arctic Ocean, on the chalky snowfield of Siberia, to the lonely fortress called Black Swan Port, the keel, the secret research institute, the orphanage, and the fire that lit up half the sky.

"Finally, Herzog took the ancient dragon embryo aboard the Lenin. The giant ship sailed eastward, toward Japan, and finally sank into the deep sea."

"Now, under the strait of Japan, the Lenin and the ancient dragon embryo are trapped inside. They are the sacrifices carefully selected by Herzog. The fresh fetal blood of the embryo feeds the real owner of the strait, which is a sleeping dragon. What Herzog really wants to resurrect is the White King."

"He played two roles. He appeared out of nowhere more than 20 years ago. He used the identity of Tachibana Masamune to control the Japanese branch, and used the identity of the king to control the demons. The whole of Japan was played in his hands, and everyone was fooled by him."

"My brother and I are both chess pieces controlled by him." At this point, Yuan Zhinv paused and smiled with a hint of self-mockery: "But I am not a very obedient chess piece."

"I have been trying to disrupt his plan for more than three years. I have conducted various experiments, but none of them have worked. I have killed more than a hundred of his substitutes, but I have never even seen his real body."

"I don't have any evidence either. This is all information I got from being around him over the years. But the time, place and port are all true. You can check it out."

After the story was told, there was a long silence.

Ange didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just played with the folding knife quietly, with his eyes lowered as if in deep thought.

There was no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking after hearing this story.

Genjitsu didn't say anything either. She had said everything she wanted to say. She told everything she knew and even predicted things that hadn't happened yet. All she had to do now was wait and see what would happen.

The whole of Japan is full of enemies. Minamoto Chitose can't find a suitable ally here. Her father is hiding in some corner selling ramen and can't be found. Her brother is a stubborn idiot, so she can only take a risk.

At least Ange is the most suitable ally she can think of. Compared with other people with different thoughts, Ange is the purest. All those who want to resurrect the dragon are his enemies. From this point of view, they are on the same front.

So she will try her best to convince Ange that she needs the help of Kassel College.

I don't know how much time passed. Just when Yuan Zhinv was gradually becoming uneasy and anxious, and even doubting that she would not get an answer, Angé finally spoke slowly.

"It's a very interesting secret." He commented calmly: "It's worth the price."

Yuan Zhinu felt inexplicably guilty. To be honest, she didn't know how much Angers had spent on the folding knife. Logically, he shouldn't have to pay to get his things back, but since he said the secret was worth the price, Yuan Zhinu naturally had to agree.

Although you always have to show sincerity when asking someone for help, there is no regulation on who should show this sincerity. How can the sincerity of the person being asked not be counted as sincerity?

"But compared to this secret, I'm more curious about you."

Ange changed the subject, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze sharp and even a little sharp: "In this story you told, what role do you play?"

"It's hard to believe that he was able to find out so many core secrets even though he lived under surveillance since he was a child..."

Yuan Zhinu knew that she was being doubted, but what she said was true, and her background was clean, so she was not afraid of being investigated, so she said bluntly: "Maybe I am gifted."

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"You brought me to Japan with such fanfare, just to tell me this. What is your purpose?"

Yuan Zhinu looked straight into Ange's eyes and said word by word: "I want freedom."
