Kassel Academy. Command Room of the Executive Department

The tubes emitted residual heat, and they were still emitting light not so long ago that the source of the signal on the big screen disappeared and the old man in a dress turned it off.

The faint light of the computer standby faintly outlined several figures, each holding a wine glass, filled with a fuchsia liquid, and the smoke curled up from the light on their bodies, sucked into the tunnel by the exhaust system.

With a crisp sound, the three glasses touched together, and with the cheers of the gentleman and the drunkard, they drank it all.

"Don't worry, Schneider, this is actually ordinary grape juice, with only a little alcohol added, so I'm afraid it's not as high as your favorite red wine lamb chops." Ange saw that Schneider just took a sip of the wine glass, and persuaded with a smile: "Don't be so sad all day long, you should relax when it's time to relax." ”

"I know to relax when it's time to relax, but, alas." The man holding the ventilator took out his mobile phone and looked at it, which already showed more than a dozen missed calls, and all of them were from one person.

"Has anyone been calling you?" Seeing this, the vice principal knocked on the coffee table: "I guess it's Mance, the stereotypical guy, who probably has been worried about his students, plus Caesar's group has also lost contact with them. ”

"Hmm." Schneider nodded slightly.

"The people are very good, they have strong execution, they love their students, and they can be adaptable." Ange flicked the wine glass lightly with his fingertips: "It's just that I care too much about the students, so I can't hold my breath for anything." Obviously, this operation only requires them to respond. ”

"Anyone would have been." Schneider's statue-like face changed slightly: "But, headmaster, seeing that you are so sure, why don't you tell the professor?" ”

"I'm sure, but I don't have any substantial evidence to show them, you know, there are a lot of clowns who like to provoke you in front of you when you're too lazy to deal with him, but if you really come up with the real thing against them, you're going to lose a lot." Ange smiled and took out his phone, the phone was always on, someone was calling him, but it was muted and didn't make a sound.

Ange declined the call, showing Schneider the rows of missed calls, who looked at the familiar names and was a little speechless.

These were all prominent figures in the mixed race, including the leaders of a large family, and even dignitaries, but they all called Ange that night, and they were all denied.

"The clowns keep jumping around trying to force out your stuff, but when they find out that you're ignoring it, the people who instruct them will come out."

Ange put his phone quietly on the table, and about thirty seconds later, a call came again, and Ange seemed to have expected it, took a long puff of cigar, and then calmed down and picked up the phone.

"Hey, my friend Frost, it's four o'clock in the morning US time, what's going on that makes you as active as a little lamb that wants milk?"

"Ange, are you too embarrassed to ask me?" There was an angry roar on the other end of the phone: "You threw Caesar into a cave thousands of kilometers away, and you can't get in touch, and you can still sleep soundly?" ”

"Do you mean the mission of the Executive Department?" There was a natural hint of doubt in Ange's voice: "I don't know, this is really not my business, I am sleeping in the big bed, if you need it, I can help you call Schneider and ask, he should know about this operation." ”

There was silence.

Frost took a deep breath, he had encountered countless difficult opponents over the years, there were bankers who didn't count after speaking, businessmen who set up ambushes in contracts, and all kinds of demons and monsters who always wanted to divide the profits, but these people were all defeated under his Frost, and he was confident that there were few people in the world who were his opponents.

But Angers is not, Frost has to admit that there are few people in the world who can make him deflated, the president and vice-principal of the Kassel Academy are counted among them, and his brother who sows seeds everywhere all day is counted as one, because this group of people cannot judge their actions by human thinking, they are shameless and have no bottom line, they can look at black and talk white and talk black, even if dozens of people tell him that this is an Aries, he will say that he has glaucoma and can't see anything.

Frost looked at the bill from Norma, which clearly stated that Ange had written the price of two bottles of high-end red wine on his bill fifteen minutes ago, and there was also a tip sent to the enforcement department, knowing that Ange on the other end of the phone was in the executive department, but he couldn't say a word, because Ange also knew that Frost could check his bill.

If you ask him why he ordered red wine in the executive department if he was in his room, he will tell you that he was sleeping at the time when he was in the executive department to reward the staff on duty at work.

To deal with the underworld, you can use courtesy, righteousness and shame, and you can use violence to deal with hooligans, but for the combination of the underworld and hooligans, he really seems to have no way.

"Ange, I think we can have a good talk." Frost changed his initial irascible tone, and rarely brought some flattery: "I know you are dissatisfied with me, but after all, our goals are the same, both for the cause of dragon slaying, right?" ”

Ange groaned for a long time: "You're right, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to put up with you forever." ”

"So, I don't think we should have such a deep quarrel between us, Ange, the Gattuso family is the biggest sponsor of the academy, and you should know the family's sphere of influence, and you, even if you are not convinced, I have to admit that you are the strongest among the half-breeds now."

"Indeed, it will take more than ten years and decades for a half-breed to beat me." Ange smiled, unmodest.

"But listening to your tone, you're not in a hurry at all right now." Frost lowered his voice, "Are you so sure your students are safe?" There are S-class students in that team that you recruited yourself. ”

"Has he caught your attention?" Ange tapped his wine glass, and the clanging echoed through the empty command room.

"Of course, being rated as S-rank, he must have something extraordinary, and the hot topic of the academy these days is him, even if there are many people in our Gattuso family discussing his strength. What I'm trying to say is that I can take him as your heir, right? ”

"What do you mean?" The smile on Ange's lips slowly faded: "You want to threaten me? ”

"In this world, there should be no one who dares to threaten you, they have long been cut down." Frost sighed, "I just want a promise that there will be nothing wrong with the heirs of our Gattuso family. ”

"Unilateral commitments never have any effect."

"We're not going to touch your students."

"Yes." Ange snapped his fingers, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked: "Caesar has nothing to do, on the contrary, you should thank me more, because I went to let him gain experience in dealing with the Lord of Bronze and Fire." The heir of your family needs a good resume. ”

"Are they waking up?" Frost's voice trembled a little.

"This news has to be paid for."

Drip-Drip-Drip-

The phone was hung up, and Ange smiled at the two people staring at him in front of him: "The man who commands the clown, he's a clown himself, isn't he?" ”

"Did you calculate this?" The vice principal put down his wine glass and stared at Ange: "You just want to exchange Lu Mingfei's safety?" ”

Angers is non-religious.

"But is Frost's word credible?" Schneider took over: "He has always had a bad relationship with the principal. ”

"Schneider, I taught you when you were my student that you have to see his essence when dealing with anyone, right? The essence of the dragon king is violence, so we need to be more violent. What is the essence of Frost? ”

"Merchant." Schneider didn't think twice.

"That's right, he's not a dragon slayer, he's a businessman who wants to make a lot of money by taking this opportunity, and a businessman has a trait that can't be changed." Ange put his legs on the stool beside him, picked up his glass and took a sip:

"They don't turn their backs on their collaborators until the benefits they face are greater than what they can get from them, and Caesar is more important in his heart."

"Not even the news of the first generation is enough?" Schneider frowned.

"At this time, there is still a long time before they predict the time when the Dragon King will awaken, and they all agree that I am deceiving them, even if I tell them that it is the ruins of the first generation, they will not believe it." Ange smiled: "Before observing the information, they will think that I am the co-vice principal making an April Fool's joke in advance, there is only a team of ten people, and the elite sent down at will, no one will pay attention to it, this is our chance." ”

"Don't let Mance get too anxious, and tell Caesar's group and his proud students that they're all right." Ange pressed the remote control and turned on the large screen, which was receiving a steady stream of photos from the group's devices.

"It's weird, then they have lost contact, why can the photos be sent back?" The vice principal, who had been silent, noticed something unusual: "Didn't the camera and headset of the executive department be made together?" ”

"Those devices are not from the Executive Department, they were given to me by the principal." Schneider said in a deep voice, and the two of them turned their eyes to the old man who was pacing to the window at some point.

"Don't look at me, I don't know why." Ange opened the window to let the cold wind blow in a little, and the white hair on his sideburns swayed wantonly among the flying leaves: "It's just an old man's thing." ”

……

"I really don't understand what you mean." Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, who suddenly became serious, and his sea-blue eyes widened.

What kind of thinking is this, one second he was still talking about betting, and the next second he suddenly said, 'You know what I'm talking about', as if the other party knew that he had made a mistake and gave himself a chance to turn himself in, Caesar said in his heart, he and Chu Zihang were familiar with each other, and they didn't get to the point of having such a heart.

"Why didn't the principal say those things in a meeting, but wrote them in a handwritten letter." Chu Zihang looked at Caesar, and his blazing golden pupils were like the sun, which made the latter frown: "Why did you say that you wouldn't let anyone know about it?" And, you can see that sentence in the vice principal's note. ”

"Is it something that the principal is going to do to the school board?" Caesar finally understood Chu Zihang's intentions, and smiled helplessly: "I understand, it is true that my family occupies a large seat in the school board of trustees. ”

Chu Zihang nodded, his eyes fixed on Caesar, waiting for his next words.

"You're afraid that I'll leak the headmaster's affairs to them, so you want to get my assurance now, right?" Caesar turned his head to look at the man and woman on the other side who were talking and laughing, and sighed.

"I just wanted to ask you what you think." Chu Zihang pondered his words, all he could do was to know his thoughts according to the other party's demeanor and tone, and there was no way to force Caesar to change what he wanted to do, this was a point that everyone agreed on, whether it was the powerful Gattuso family or him Chu Zihang.

"Then why do you think the headmaster would approve of me joining the team?" Caesar asked, tilting his head.

Chu Zihang was speechless for a moment, although he had thought of this in his heart for a long time, he still wanted to make a confirmation.

"There's a lot going on between me and my family." Caesar shrugged: "I'm not the carefree boy you think of on a daily basis, that's why I came to the academy, there will always be some things in life that can't be forgotten, the lavender field near the academy's bell tower is very similar to our family's back mountain, I will often think of the past when I come here, and then make sure that I still have that memory." ”

His tone changed suddenly, and Caesar put away his smile and said, "Do you want to hear about my past?" ”

After a moment of silence, Chu Zihang nodded.

There will always be things in life that you want but can't get, and if you join the student union, maybe I will consider telling you about it. Caesar smiled at the success of his plan and patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder, there was nothing more pleasant for him than teasing his opponent.

He picked up the camera, got up and prepared to continue to be busy, but when he turned around, he saw Chu Zihang still sitting on the ground, his eyes staring straight at the ground.

Sensing the sight, Chu Zihang raised his head and showed a strange expression on his face, neither the smile that deals with others on weekdays, nor the face of a dead fish, it was a little obscure, just like the fruit he ate was not yet ripe, and there was a hint of sourness in his sweetness.

"Do you remember your first love?" Caesar subconsciously quipped.

"I don't have a first love, but there are a few girls who really impress me, but I don't think it's called a first love." Chu Zihang still answered Caesar's words with a blanket look, even if he knew that it was a joke, he picked up the equipment and walked to the corner of the wall where he was working just now, with his back to Caesar:

"But I agree with your actions."

"What?" Caesar was once again confused.

"There are always things in life that you can't forget for a lifetime." Chu Zihang carefully took a photo of the mural: "You always laugh at why I play basketball, what's the point of that kind of sport that relies purely on strength." Because the person who took me to basketball for the first time was important, and that reason was enough.

The human brain is like a disk, it will always clean up the parts that are not in use on a regular basis, so every night when I lie in bed, I do a homework to think about the people and things that are important to me, so that they can keep them and accompany me to this day. ”

Caesar was stunned, it was the first time he had seen Chu Zihang say so many things at one time in addition to his speech and answering questions, and it seemed to have a sense of truth, he could clearly feel that there were many ups and downs in Chu Zihang's tone.

Stunned in place, Caesar stared at the back of his work, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Go ahead, or you won't be able to finish filming." Chu Zihang turned his head and recovered the statue face, and the shutter in his hand kept working while he spoke.

"Ah...... Ah yes. Caesar laughed twice, turned around and walked in the other direction, he knew how to deal with girls in this situation, but even if Chu Zihang looked feminine, he couldn't ignore the pair of fiery golden pupils, and stepped forward.

It seems that going to the other side now is the best option.

But......

"That's what you're going to do." Caesar smiled at the corners of his mouth, and he finally found a common ground in his enemies.
