The sea breeze was blowing in Santorini, and the sun had just risen, but eight figures were already sitting at the long table, some of them impatiently tapping their knuckles on the table, as if something urgent was waiting.

It was none other than the acting head of the Gattuso family, Frost. Gattuso, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

If you look closely at all of you, you will be surprised to see that the atmosphere is somewhat unusual today, and several people have swept their eyes over the clock from time to time, as if they can't wait for the meeting to begin.

As for the rest of them, they were still leisurely, and Ange was still smoking a cigar, occasionally looking impatiently at his watch to see how long there was left before the meeting, and whether he could finish the cigarette himself.

Today is the last day of the board meeting, and as is customary, it is often the last day that is most likely to cause disagreement, which is a tacit rule, and if it is put before, it will be a lot of quarrels.

At the last moment, some people will no longer hesitate to choose their path, and some people will make concessions so that the issue will not be resolved and thus delayed.

"Ange, it's time to close the window behind you, the sea breeze is too damp." The old man twisting the beads broke the silence.

It was the first thing he said since he entered the house, and the first thing everyone said when they entered the house.

Rao is heartless Su Enxi also felt the heavy atmosphere when he just stepped into this conference room, put away his smile and sat on the leather chair, and didn't say a word to Laurent next to him.

"It's better than smoke." Ange responded with a smile.

Seeing this, the other old man got up on crutches and went to the door, pressed the button, and after hearing the sound of the exhaust fan working, he slowly paced back, sat on the chair, and panted softly:

"What about this time?"

"Unfortunately, when the time comes, we have to get down to business." Ange glanced at his watch, ignoring the old man's inquiry, and shook the bronze bell:

"The school board meeting is coming to an end, and today's agenda is to discuss some things that are easy to cause disagreement, and it needs to be voted on by all the staff to decide, and I received a letter from Frost last night about the incident, and this is the only one, if nothing else, this should be what we discussed today."

Ange shook the envelope he took out of his arms, showed it to everyone, then opened it and looked at it, put the envelope down gently, and looked calm: "Regarding the next actions of the Executive Department in China, right, Director Frost, this is what you are going to discuss today. ”

"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded: "I think we need to discuss the next things in detail so as to come up with a plan of action that everyone is convinced of." ”

Ange sat down at some point, extinguished the cigar in his hand, threw it into the trash, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, the Frost school board, or the Gattuso family, is a little dissatisfied with our executive department?" ”

"Ange, you ......" Frost was a little angry, his shoulders were shaking up and down, and he just wanted to be angry, but he was pressed down by the old man of the Buddha bead beside him:

"Wait, Ange, you may have misunderstood what Frost meant, it's not that he's stirring up trouble, we all think it's necessary to plan in detail for the future, especially after the awakening of the Lord of Bronze and Fire has been proven, how we do it, how to do it, how to do it, we have to sit down and discuss it in detail."

Ange raised his eyes, swept around the crowd, and chuckled, "I remember that none of you here, including me, have a good command education. ”

Everyone here was at a loss, wondering why Ange suddenly mentioned this.

Seeing that most of them nodded, Ange shrugged his shoulders: "A group of people who only know a little about fighting wars, do they need to instruct a group of elites who have received relevant education and experienced countless wars how to do it?" It's like having Flamel teach the Lord of Bronze and Fire how to do alchemy. ”

The faces of several people suddenly darkened, but Su Enxi burst out laughing, and Laurent next to her was still patting her on the back, whispering to remind her to restrain herself.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ange continued quietly: "So, if it is the next planning aspect, I think you should have no need for guidance, the future plan is made by the executive department head Schneider and the staff department, after my consideration with the vice principal, there is generally no problem." If there is a mistake in the details, just tell Norma and she will remind us to correct it, I don't think it was the right choice to bring this topic to the table.

With that in mind, I might as well go for a French dinner and open a bottle of red wine. I'm not interested in spending time with my bosses, even though Laurent and Miss Hannah are beautiful. ”

The old man and Ange looked at each other for a long time, and finally sat down slowly, shaking his head.

As soon as he sat down, Frost got his chance, shook the bell and stood up and sneered, "In that case, then I would like to ask Principal Ange a few things. ”

"Say."

"The Executive Department has sent five teams around the world, two of which are in China, what are their specific actions, and why are they not written in the report?"

"Frost, I don't think you were the kind of good student that your teachers liked when you were in college." Ange smiled.

"What do you mean?" The man was stunned for a moment, not hearing any sarcasm at all.

"When writing a report, you just need to write down the conclusions, and if you guess something, you just need to be able to answer the teacher's questions. This principle is also common between superiors and subordinates. I wrote in the report that they were tasked with exploring the trails of dragons, and that should be enough.

If it's not enough, then I'm sorry, the reports I wrote in the first ten years seem to be unqualified, and it will take a while to renovate. ”

"In that case, let me ask you, what are the two teams doing in China?"

"A team is located in the ancient city of Loulan, searching for dragon ruins, according to Menek. Kassel's record, where he had found traces of dragons, so every year we sent someone there. Ange played with his fingernails: "As for the other team, it should be near the Three Gorges to explore the specific location of the Dragon Tomb of the Bronze and Fire King." ”

"Are you really sure of that one's dragon tomb?" The middle-aged man holding the walnut spoke again, one of the few words he had spoken in the past few days.

"It shouldn't be too much of a problem, but who knows for sure? Just like the U.S. men's basketball dream team will lose the Olympic title. Ange didn't care, as if he were recounting a trivial matter: "Well, Frost, it's exactly the same as the information you got." ”

"You're unabashed." The named man squinted at Ange: "But your purpose in doing this should be to call the 'Moniach', because you know that in order to probe the bottom of the Three Gorges Gorge, you must use this warship converted reconnaissance ship, and once you use it, you can't avoid the eyes of the school board and ......"

"Captain Frost, I don't think mere speculation is pointless, you have no evidence that Principal Angers is deliberately hiding anything from us." Laurent interjected, shaking the bell.

"Although I think what you say makes a lot of sense, I agree more with Laurent's statement, you need to show evidence." For the first time, Su Enxi experienced the thrill of shaking the bell.

"But, Ange, you really should explain it to us in detail when you explore the dragon tomb of the first generation this time." The old man leaning on his cane said.

"I said, I'm not sure, the nature of this task is just exactly the same as countless past tasks, the executive department has to send hundreds of tasks a year, if I write a detailed report to you every time to the school board, the school board may not be able to read it, the school board is the government department rather than the executive review department, the specific things let the executive department deal with."

Ange tilted his head and looked at the ceiling: "Wouldn't it be better to take a look at my summary at the regular meeting every year?" As at the beginning of this meeting, I will hand you the report on the second day except for the first day, and the summary will cover all the major actions of the Executive Department, and will thoughtfully mark the results of the mission and its important parts in bold text. ”

"This time it's different! Don't try to confuse the past. Frost was completely furious, and the last time he missed the opportunity to explore the foundry, his voice now sounded like a lion guarding food: "We have long expected that there will be at least one primordial species awakening in China, which is why we have been promoting Chinese education in the academy, the purpose of the academy is to deal with the dragon king, those first-generation species with the ability to destroy the world."

With regard to the first generation, the school board must monitor every step of the way to avoid any accidents, otherwise you cannot afford the consequences. ”

"Calm down, I said a long time ago, Frost you are in such a hurry as a lamb that wants to drink milk, there is no evidence to prove that it is the dragon tomb of the first generation. Moreover, in the past few decades, we have also been nervous that we have almost moved all the missiles in the first generation, only to find out that it is a small tomb of dozens of generations of relatives. There's no need to toss so much, the executive department is a sharp knife, not a brick that needs to be moved anywhere. ”

"It's up to me to judge where it's needed, not up to you, Ange, you know, the affairs of the Kassel Academy are judged by the school board, you are just the principal, responsible for educating them on how to slay dragons, and the rest is within our scope." Frost was hoarse.

"Like it was ten years ago?"

Ange's gaze suddenly became much colder, and he looked directly at the roaring man, who felt a biting chill and sat down slowly.

"Just like ten years ago, I believe in you very much, you ordered the Executive Department to go into the water immediately, and the six outstanding students of the Executive Department got into the diving bell, and along with Professor Schneider's respiratory system, they were completely buried under the cold and deep bottom of the Greenland Sea."

Ange's eyes also deepened, and when he saw Frost lowering his head, he swept everyone's eyes one by one: "Some of you like to dive, but have any of you ever tried to stay underwater all the time?" Six of my outstanding students have tried, or they are still trying, sinking like statues, unable to speak, unable to move, and the only thing I can hope for is that they are completely dead, lest they be tortured, and this will be the only way to make my conscience feel a little better. ”

"Hey, school trustees, do you know what a squad made up entirely of A-class hybrids is? They are supposed to be the sharpest blades in the Secret Party, and any seemingly powerful foe will be crushed under their feet. And they did, all eighty-nine missions were completed perfectly, without a single casualty, and if they were given a few days to prepare, I believe that even the Dragon King would be able to tear their opponents apart. At this, Ange suddenly paused and laughed twice:

"But they never imagined that as soon as they arrived at the place, they were ordered by the school board to dive directly into the water, and the only thing they could do to face an enemy who had no information at all was to rely on their intuition."

"But to no avail, hey, Frost, do you feel about this?"

"That's their fate is not good, they met ......"

With a bang, before Frost could finish his sentence, he saw a folding knife stuck in the wall beside him, which was still shaking up and down, and on the other side was completely broken walnut crumbs.

"Ange, calm down."

The middle-aged man's eyes faded and dimmed, as if he had just woken up from a state of steady, and there was only one walnut left in his right hand.

"I'm calm, otherwise you won't be able to stop me." Ange smiled apologetically, though the words were more threatening in the ears of the others.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, your time zero is getting better and better. It seems that the statement that time zero can hinder the passage of time is true. The man sighed and looked at Frost:

"I have to warn you, if he really wants to kill you, I can't stop it, and no one in this villa should be able to stop him, including your secretary, he can hold up to Ange for a while at most, and no one can deal with the old madman, at least in the current half-blood world."

"John. Crouch, your Holy Judgment is also very annoying, it reminds me of a friend of mine. To be honest, you are probably the biggest threat to me in this villa, but to put it more seriously...... If I wanted to kill Frost, you wouldn't stop me, you Crouch are famous as a famous 'wizard' family in Europe, no matter what the world is for. ”

"What kind of wizard, he has just accumulated wealth and fame through the alchemy left by the monarchs." The middle-aged man looked at Ange, and then at Frost: "Go on, you can't fight, at most it's scary." ”

"He wants to kill me." Frost spread his hands: "You guys are indifferent? ”

"Stop acting, just a warning for you." Ange got up, wiped the blade, and took it into his arms again.

"Indeed, Frost, you are wrong, and the accident is entirely our responsibility." The old man of Buddha beads said softly:

"Ange, we agree with you, so the task of exploring the first generation is entirely up to you, but our school board has a request."

"It seems that you have already discussed it, and it seems that I can't help but listen." Ange said lightly.

"For this mission, there must be people from the family to which our school board belongs."

"Caesar is okay?"

"This ......" everyone turned their eyes to Frost, who thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, Caesar will hide it, you know, my nephew is very disobedient." ”

"The candidate will be decided when the time comes." The old man on crutches said.

"In that case, I don't want to ask too much." Ange took a sip of tea and pursed his lips, looking at the expressions of the two old men beside him.

They glanced at Frost and nodded, "Say it and listen to it." ”

"This is actually the second topic I want to talk about, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this meeting." Ange raised his eyebrows, and his face was flat:

"Remove all the people you have planted in the Enforcement Department."
