"Speaking of which, the Oni Clan caused such a big incident in Tokyo that even if we do our best to block it, some information will probably still get to them."

At this point, she couldn't help but sigh.

Yesterday's riot in Kobe was relatively small, and the enforcement bureau's timely containment, coupled with Princess Kaguya's peak condition at the time, meant that little news reached Kassel College in Chicago.

But the riot in Tokyo was different; the residences of the five major families were all attacked, and the Genji Heavy Industries were a prime target of the Oni Clan.

Moreover, now that the 'King General' is dead, the 'Dragon King' has been captured, the 'Dragon Horse' has been captured, and the 'First Flower' has been captured, the 'Fierce Demon Clan', which has been fighting against the Snake-Headed Eight Families for many years, is on the verge of destruction.

This means that the Snake Clan can finally break free from its internal strife and turn its attention overseas again.

These matters are certainly enough for Kassel College to pay close attention to, and they might even send a few members of the executive department to Tokyo to check on the situation.

The changes brought about by this disaster go far beyond this.

The former patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune, was deposed in a short period of time, and the former young master of the family and former director of the Execution Bureau, Genji Chisei, became the current acting patriarch.

The newly appointed head of the executive bureau, Nan Yunyuyue, had never appeared in the records of Kassel College before.

To the entire Secret Party, Nan Yun Yuyue was like a person hidden in the fog; no one knew his origins, combat strength, or attitude towards Kassel College.

Since Angers, representing the Secret Service, signed the treaty with the Snake Clan, Kassel College has established a branch in Japan.

Nominally, the Japanese branch is under the management of Kassel College, and although it has considerable autonomy, Kassel College has been closely monitoring the appointment of high-ranking executives of the Snake Clan.

Now that the Snake Clan has undergone such a dramatic and complex power transition, Kassel College will certainly use all means to find out exactly what happened in Tokyo.

Afterwards, Sakura Yabuki introduced the situation of Kassel College to Tatsuki Shiina, who listened with a thoughtful expression.

"By the way, the matters concerning the Execution Bureau must absolutely not be leaked to the outside world," Sakura Yabuki reminded her again.

The two quickly got into the car.

Sitting in the car driven by Sakura Yabuki, Tatsuki Shiina suddenly thought of a question.

The loneliness brought by the sorrow of blood can only be dispelled by being among one's own kind.

Since she was a hybrid, and Nagumo Amatsuki was also a hybrid,

So... what about Takamatsu and the others?

Thinking back to the feeling during the band rehearsals, Shiina Tatsuki's memories suddenly became hazy. She subconsciously rolled down the car window, letting the howling wind sweep across her face.

It seemed that only in this way could she calm her uncontrollable emotions.

the other side,

Just as Tokyo finally welcomed a new morning,

across the ocean,

Star-Moon Federation, Chicago

Kassel Academy.

It was around 5 p.m., which, according to the work schedule of Xingyue people, was the time to get off work.

Students without classes were already leisurely heading to various canteens to find dinner, and some students who were unwilling to move in their dormitories had already ordered takeout by phone. It seemed like a rare moment of leisure during the day, but Angers clearly did not think so.

"Nicholas Flamel!"

"Stop drinking! Something terrible has happened in Japan!"

"I asked you to go to a meeting, but you were the only one who wasn't there, so I had to come here to find you myself."

Angers stormed up the clock tower where the Night's Watch lived.

"What could possibly happen in that run-down place? Isn't there a Japanese branch there watching over things?"

"Besides, there are so many of your students there, why don't you let them handle it themselves? What's the point of coming to me?"

The night watchman lay on the sofa, one hand clutching a bottle of liquor, the other flipping through an old magazine, muttering answers to Angers' questions.

“This matter is more serious than you imagine,” Angers said solemnly.

"What else could have happened? Tokyo was bombed? The Snake-Headed Eight Families changed overnight?" The vice principal waved his hand.

"Unless it's that serious, I shouldn't waste my precious time drinking."

“That’s really true,” Angers said.

The vice principal immediately slid off the sofa.

"What's going on? We didn't get any warning signs beforehand. Could it be that the Japanese are up to some underhanded tactics again?"

He took another swig of wine, but he seemed much more sober than before, and his speech was no longer so incoherent.

“We just got the news from Norma,” Angers sighed.

"Tokyo has been hit by an unprecedented attack, roughly on the level of a full-scale war between the Hebi-hachi family and the Oni-shu."

"The previous patriarch has also lost power, and now the one in power is a young man named Genjiro."

"Moreover, the new director of the executive bureau has no file record in the academy, and we still do not know his true identity."

"Princess Kaguya of the Snake Clan is desperately trying to cover up everything that is happening in Tokyo, but we have still managed to catch some clues."

"Is that all? If that's all, while it's serious, it doesn't seem like it should cause you to lose your composure like this," the vice principal said.

“Deadpool… is an artificially bred Deadpool.” Angers’ expression was extremely serious.

"Someone has mastered this forbidden technology, but we are unsure whether he has been captured by the Snake Clan or is still at large."

"and……"

He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"The equipment department told me that they recently detected the heartbeat of some kind of creature in the waters off Japan."

Chapter 247 Meeting, Chihaya Aine is arranged

"What!?"

The vice principal was also shocked.

"Are you sure you're not kidding me? Either of these two pieces of news would be surprising enough."

“Absolutely true.” Angers sighed.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you for a meeting when you should have been off work."

“In that case… I really should go.” The vice principal sighed along with Angers. “I thought you would do what you always do, holding a meeting to announce the admissions process for Kassel College.”

“I told you this meeting was very urgent!” Angers’ eyelids twitched wildly.

But he didn't want to waste any more time talking to the Night Watchman, so he immediately pulled him up from the floor and dragged him to the auditorium inside the Kassel College.

In the synagogue,

Many professors from the Kassel College gathered together.

Even the equipment department had a liquid crystal television set up at their designated seats, allowing them to participate remotely from the bottom of the "Watt Alheim".

Angers looked at the screen, which was larger than a person, and couldn't help but facepalm.

"I say, Director Akadula, why can't you send someone here in person? Setting up such a huge screen here makes people think our academy has already entered the cyberpunk era."

"Principal, we did consider your suggestion before," Director Akadula's voice came through the screen.

"But no one in the institute was willing to go on stage with so many people, because the air pollution was just too bad."

"My main concern is that this might be some kind of new type of bomb developed by your equipment department."

Angers simply couldn't keep up with the train of thought of the researchers from the Equipment Department.

He looked at all the professors and executive officers who were ready and seated at the head of the table, and began to speak:

"As you all have probably seen the email Norma sent, there are two main topics we'll be discussing today."

"One issue is with the Japanese branch."

"Just now, after that riot that seemed to have swept through the entire Tokyo, the Snake Clan seemed to be slipping out of our control."

"Isn't the new head of the family your student? I think his name is Genjiro."

The vice principal had just finished reading the printed document on the table—Angers had specially printed a copy for him, knowing that the vice principal usually didn't read emails.

“Sigh… If that’s your logic, then many members of the Serpent Clan’s Executive Bureau are alumni of our Kassel College. Why would we bother scheming against them? We could just hold an alumni conference,” Angers said helplessly.

"In reality, the Japanese branch has never been willing to be constantly hampered by the secret party. Many orders could not be issued at all. After all, in the treaty signed before, the Japanese branch and the headquarters were equal. I only had a portion of the power."

"So that's how it is." The vice principal looked regretful.

“Furthermore, the identity of the head of the Executive Bureau of the Snake Clan remains unknown. We have no information about him whatsoever… neither his resume, his Words of Power, his attitude towards the academy… nor anything else,” Angers continued.

"The Director of the Executive Bureau is undoubtedly the highest-ranking member of the Snake Clan, and those who can hold this position are by no means ordinary people."

"Logically, the director of the enforcement bureau should have served in the enforcement bureau before, but this new director has not."

"His promotion was so sudden, as if he had obtained such a position overnight, becoming a high-ranking member of the Snake Clan, almost second only to the head of the clan."

Angers said, enunciating each word clearly:

“We have reason to suspect that he is a member of the Snake Clan who has only recently returned.”

The professors present were all astonished.

Japan is a country with a strict hierarchical system, and the Hebi-hachi family is an extremely strict patriarchal system with a clear divide between the lower and upper classes.

Under such a system, it is extremely difficult to be parachuted in, let alone to a high position like the director of the executive bureau.

Unless... this new head of the executive bureau has an absolute advantage in some aspect.

"Words of power? Bloodline? Or something else?"

This question was on everyone's mind.

Because the Snake Clan has an exchange student program with Kassel College every year, the college has a certain understanding of the geniuses of the younger generation of the Snake Clan.

Apart from Genjiro, these geniuses still have a long way to go before they can take over a high position such as the Director of the Executive Bureau.

One important reason why Kassel College is willing to train students from its Japanese branch and other branches around the world is that it hopes these students will develop a certain degree of goodwill towards the entire Secret Service during their studies at Kassel College. This would facilitate the Executive Bureau's future global expansion.

Now that a mixed-race individual who had no prior connection to Kassel College has suddenly taken the lead in the Japanese branch, they can't help but feel worried.

"These are not the most important things. After all, although the Snake Clan is crazy, they are still considered hybrids. We have always been experienced in dealing with hybrids."

Angers said in a deep voice:

"It's Deadpool. We suspect that someone is breeding this creature in Japan."

Everyone present wore a solemn expression.

Although the Snake Clan has always been outwardly united with the Secret Society, they are not incapable of communication and would not do things that harm others without reason.

Deadpool is a different kind of monster. This kind of monster that has lost its mind is an undeniable killing machine. If you put one of them in the city, it will cause huge casualties.

And now, someone in Japan is actually keeping them as pets?

“However, it shouldn’t be the Snake Clan that keeps such things; they also suffered great losses due to the attack by the Oni Clan,” Angers said. “It is said that even the Genji Heavy Industries were bombed.”

"Then their archenemies, the Ghost Clan, actually possess this technology?" A professor asked, his face full of disbelief.

Most of the professors and executive officers present had seen Deadpool before, but most of those Deadpools were hybrids who had fallen from grace after breaking through the bloodline threshold.

Artificial breeding?

This is so illogical that it almost shattered their worldview.

“That’s highly likely. And these Dead Servants’ attacks on the strongholds of some of the Snake Clan’s families seem to be organized,” Angers added.

"We still don't see the light of day. Is this the effect of the Word of Power, or is it a backdoor set up by the mastermind behind the raising of the Dead Servants?"

The fact that someone is artificially breeding Deadpools is enough to warrant a special trip from the Executive Department, not to mention that these Deadpools are suspected of being manipulated.

"Has the Snake Clan caught the mastermind behind this 'Killing Servants' scheme?" someone asked.

"This is still uncertain, but according to the information from Norma, the Snake Clan brought the situation under control in less than a day, completely thwarting the attack by the Demon Clan. It is said that they also successfully captured several high-ranking members of the Demon Clan."

"The speed at which the Japanese branch has recovered its strength... has exceeded our expectations."
