We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

Moreover, if she really did go to that Kassel College, the distance between Chicago in the United States and Tokyo in Japan is a full 10068 kilometers.

Such a distance completely separated the two of them into two different worlds, and she worried that before long, Nan Yun Yuyue would forget her.

But she already knew everything that had happened from her father, and naturally understood his good intentions.

With the situation here still unsettled, choosing to go to Kassel College would be the best way to keep a girl like her, who currently has no combat power, away from the current conflict among the Snake Clan.

It seems there are no better options left, and I have no choice but to leave...

The memories that had just been in my mind vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable bitterness.

She also couldn't bear to part with many other friends, including Mutsumi Wakaba, Motoyo Nagasaki, Tatsuki Shiina, Akari Takamatsu, and others.

If I... weren't a burden to my father...

Does that mean none of this will happen?

Toyokawa Shoko was in a low mood.

She now understands her situation.

In Toyokawa Shoko's heart, although she really wanted her father to return to the family and life to be like it was before, wouldn't that be good enough?

However, she also learned about her grandfather's plans. Although she wanted to go back and loudly rebuke her grandfather, it seemed that his actions were also for the sake of the family.

Is it for the sake of the family, or for the sake of myself?

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't figure this out.

But she was certain that even if she returned to the old Furukawa Garden, she would never be able to live the same life she had in the Moon Forest.

On this rainy night, everything in her life has been shattered and then rebuilt.

Her past worldview had long been shattered beyond repair, and in its place, she would have to continue her life under a different identity.

Although Toyokawa Shoko was aware of this in her heart, she still couldn't quite accept it.

I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye properly to my friends.

Even if they weren't mixed-race, Toyokawa Shoko felt she could still become good friends with them.

Even if they are of mixed race, judging from the current situation, they most likely do not know their own identity, just like they did in the past.

Unaware of their own bloodline, they simply lived out their lives peacefully...

It seems pretty good?

But Toyokawa Shoko knew that this was ultimately just wishful thinking.

But even if a peaceful life is just a dream, wouldn't it be nice to let this dream last a little longer?

Toyokawa Shoko harbored too many pent-up emotions and feelings that she could not express.

Now they're all piling up in her mind, causing her great distress.

But besides the band-related issues, she also had a question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

Shoko Toyokawa thought for a moment, then hesitantly asked:

"Father...can you tell me about Mother?"

She had tried her best to ask her questions tactfully, so as not to hurt his grief over his wife's death.

She had just learned from her father that her mother was also an A-grade hybrid, whose bloodline rank was no less than her father's.

But she also learned that mixed-race people have far superior physical abilities than ordinary people and are very resistant to illness.

If that's the case, then how could my mother have died young due to illness?

Toyokawa Shoko looked up at Toyokawa Kiyoko, who was driving attentively in front of her.

Originally, Toyokawa Kiyotaka had been rambling on about things related to mixed-race society,

He was stunned when he heard what Toyokawa Shoko said.

Rumbling--

pat pat pat.

Shoko Toyokawa felt that the rain outside was getting heavier, but the Maybach was silent.

A few minutes later, Toyokawa Kiyoko seemed to finally sort out what he wanted to say.

He didn't turn around, but just stared at the night sky ahead, then slowly spoke:

"About eighteen years ago, I graduated from Kassel College and then joined the Executive Department."

"However, I didn't stay there for very long. Later, due to some incident, I resigned from my position in the executive department and came to Tokyo."

“From that moment on, I made up my mind that I would never get involved in anything related to the dragon race again. I wanted to forget everything in the past and live the life of an ordinary person.”

He didn't seem to understand Toyokawa Shoko's true meaning. Instead, he slowly extracted the details of how the two met from his memory and presented them to his daughter.

"But it was at that time that I met your mother, Mizuho."

"Fate played a joke on both of us. She actually had the same idea as me. She just wanted to find an ordinary person who loved her and then live an ordinary life."

"Just like many ordinary couples, we fell in love little by little."

“Back then, after I left the Enforcement Bureau, I asked someone to forge a diploma from the University of Tokyo for me. It was with this diploma that I was able to find a job in Tokyo and meet your mother.”

“Your grandfather, Toyokawa Sadaharu, was very dissatisfied with this. He believed that an ordinary person was not worthy of the daughter of the Toyokawa family, and even tried to separate me and your mother on several occasions.”

"But in the end, it was clear that he failed."

Toyokawa Kiyoko smiled.

"However, to my surprise, your grandmother was the first to agree to our marriage. At that time, she didn't even know that I came from Kassel College and was an A-level hybrid whose bloodline was no less than hers."

“Until the night before the wedding, my father-in-law approached me privately and, half threatening and half enticing, told me that if I was willing to leave Ruihui, he would give me a sum of money that I could never earn in my entire life.”

"At that time, he even activated his golden eyes, trying to use his bloodline to force me to submit."

"Ah……"

"When I saw this situation, I stopped pretending and directly activated my golden eyes, then stared at him without fear."

"Haha, you have no idea how funny his face looked, turning from red to pale.

"So I took out my Kassel College diploma and placed it in front of him. When I saw the half-decayed World Tree on it, his face turned so dark that it reminded me of Bao Gong from the TV series I watched when I was a child."

"Finally, I was with your mother, and there were no more obstacles in the way."

"At first, your mother felt very guilty for hiding my mixed-race identity from me. But when she learned that I was also an A-level mixed-race, her resentment disappeared immediately."

"Because I was born at Kassel College. In principle, marriages between high-ranking mixed-race individuals must be approved by the Secret Party, but I have already married into the Toyokawa family, so I am no longer under the jurisdiction of the Executive Department. Therefore, your birth was actually achieved by exploiting a loophole."

Seemingly anticipating that Toyokawa Shoko would be puzzled by this, Toyokawa Kiyoko added:

"The main reason they strictly limit the union of high-ranking hybrids is that the high level of dragon blood in both parents' bodies can easily lead to instability in the embryo... In other words, it makes it easier to give birth to a Deadpool."

“I was very worried that you would lose control before, but now it seems that your bloodline is still within the critical range. Without strong external stimuli, you should not lose control.”

"Once you arrive at Kassel College and learn that you are my daughter, the college will definitely do its best to nurture you."

"You must keep what I'm entrusting to you safe."

"Mm." Toyokawa Shoko nodded and responded softly.

She felt that her question hadn't been direct enough, and that her father hadn't answered what she really wanted to ask. So, after a fierce internal struggle, she directly addressed the topic:

"Then what exactly caused my mother to die young?"

Swoosh—

The Maybach suddenly made a sharp turn.

If Toyokawa Shoko hadn't been wearing a seatbelt in the back seat, she probably would have been thrown sideways.

slam-la-

At that moment, the rain was pouring down.

The vehicles outside were still struggling in the wind and rain. Toyokawa Kiyoshi's sharp turn just now was to avoid a car that had been pushed back by the strong winds and water flow and had broken down.

He did not answer Toyokawa Shoko's question.

It seemed that the extreme maneuver he had just performed while driving had distracted him most of his attention, and he hadn't noticed what his daughter had said.

All he could see now was what appeared to be an overpass in the distance.

The signs for the overpass were obscured by the rain, and even with his high beams on, he couldn't see them clearly.

"Let's take the elevated road. It'll be faster that way. I don't believe the water can reach the elevated road."

Kiyoshi Toyokawa made up his mind and then stepped on the gas.

Buzz—Swish

The Maybach roared like a wild beast and charged straight toward the elevated highway.

Chapter 124 Rainy Night, Overpass, Maybach (1)

!!!

At that moment, a Porsche 911 was speeding along not far from the Maybach.

Nan Yun Yuyue sat in the driver's seat, her eyes fixed on the road ahead.

He had already activated his Word of Power, 'Commandment,' covering the entire area in front of him.

Meanwhile, the authority 'Candlelight' constantly monitors the surrounding situation, concealing the presence of Porsche.

[Candlelight: Real-time monitoring of the location and status of all living things within the area, while concealing one's own aura and reducing the likelihood of others perceiving one.]

This is precisely why Toyokawa Kiyoko didn't notice that someone was following him.

At first, Nan Yun Yuyue was worried that if the candlelight was turned on, even though the Maybach wouldn't notice him, other cars might not notice him either, which could easily cause a traffic accident.

If he gets stuck halfway, there's no other Porsche nearby, so he can't catch up with the Maybach at all.

But he quickly used the authority of the 'precepts' to resolve the problem.

As long as the shielding range of the domain is shifted to the Maybach, maintaining a distance that is neither too close nor too far from Toyokawa Kiyotaka, unless someone deliberately turns around to look, in this state of high-speed driving, Toyokawa Kiyotaka would have no way of paying attention to perceive his presence.

Swah——

The two cars sped through the night.

The Porsche 911 is indeed a good car. Although it may not be as expensive as Toyokawa Kiyotaka's Maybach 62, the one he is driving now has been modified by the Kanto branch.

The Kanto branch, serving as a concentration camp for madmen within the Snake-Headed Eight Families, has many members who are passionate about racing.

In terms of vehicle modification, it goes far beyond the word "innovation"; it's practically a "mecha transformation."

They've tried all sorts of modifications that are only seen in novels or movies, such as installing machine gun turrets, replacing aircraft engines, and using liquid nitrogen acceleration.

Although this Porsche 911 wasn't modified in such a wildly imaginative way, many of its details are completely different from the original Porsche 911.

Nagumo Ugetsu drove it through the torrential rain in Tokyo, feeling no hindrance whatsoever.

right now,

On this entire street in Tokyo, only he and Kiyoshi Toyokawa's Maybach were able to maintain a normal speed.

Most of the other drivers who overestimated their abilities and tried to challenge the wind and rain have already parked awkwardly on the side of the road, waiting for rescue.

Swah——

The vehicle reached a critical intersection.

suddenly,

When Nan Yun Yuyue noticed the overpass ahead, she was immediately startled.

The realm of 'Discipline' sensed the anomaly ahead of him before he could.

He felt as if his domain had encountered some insurmountable barrier, and he was instantly blocked from the outside world.

The next moment, a sense of oppressive power rebounded on him.

Nan Yun Yuyue remained completely calm. When he sensed that his domain was being shielded by some unknown entity, he had already activated the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone effect is now active.
