Dragon Clan: Starting from obtaining Yaki, counterattack against the gods

Chapter 160: Pioneer for the King
An international airport in China.

Two young men who looked like students were standing in a remote corner outside the airport, answering the phone. At their feet was a large suitcase with a half-rotten World Tree school emblem engraved on the black suitcase.

"Okay, professor, I understand. We will be taking a plane in 50 minutes and are expected to arrive at the academy tomorrow afternoon. The salvage plan is going smoothly and the target object is now with us."

"Don't worry, professor. The salvage team hasn't disbanded yet and they are here to cover us. No one will know that we have secretly left with the target item. We will ensure that the mission is completed."

The person on the other end of the line seemed to be saying something, and the student who answered the phone responded seriously. After a while, the phone was hung up. He turned to his companion and said, "I can't believe that Professor Schneider would be so long-winded."

His companion shrugged and gently kicked the box next to him. "This thing must be very important. It seems that the college attaches great importance to it. I heard that the principal is paying attention to it."

"What is this thing?" The boy put away his phone with a curious look on his face. "I've wanted to ask this for a long time. It's really heavy. It must be very difficult to fish something like this out of the Yangtze River with so much effort, right?"

"Who knows? Let's quickly bring it back to the academy and our mission will be over." The companion urged, "Let's go quickly. I heard that this item is special and needs to go through a special channel. Professor Schneider has already arranged it."

The boy scratched his head and was about to bend down to pick up the box when he suddenly heard someone laugh behind him. The sudden sound startled both of them. They turned around subconsciously and saw the black muzzle of a gun.

The two vibrations of the silencer in the corner did not attract anyone's attention. The man in a suit and tie walked out of the corner carrying a box, pushed up his sunglasses, and lowered his head to avoid a surveillance camera not far away.

The man walked into the airport and quickly boarded the plane that had been prepared long ago. Amid the roar of the plane's engine, the man casually opened the box and looked at the knife box inside with surprise.

There were seven completely different knives in the box, all snow-white and sharp, looking like Swiss Army knives. Each knife was so new and bright that there was no sign of age at all, as if it had just been produced not long ago.

The college went to such great lengths just to find this thing?

The man was so surprised that he almost doubted whether he had been cheated. At this moment, his cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, the man calmed himself down and clicked the answer button.

"Hey, teacher."

"Did you get the thing?" an old voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"I got it." At this point, the man paused and said, "But it's not quite what I imagined. This thing looks... nothing special?"

"What is it?"

"A set of weapons, seven completely different knives, but they look new, not like they are from an old era."

As Perry was talking, he wanted to pick up a knife to play with it, but a surprising scene happened. The knives seemed to be firmly sucked into the box and he couldn't pull them out at all.

Perry was stunned for a moment, and tried another knife in disbelief, but he was soon surprised to find that no matter which knife he used or how much strength he used, he could not move them at all.

He couldn't even pull out the smallest knife.

"No, there's something wrong with this knife." Perry said, "It seems to have some mystery."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Bring them back first." The old voice said, "All those who went to Japan with you are dead."

Perry was not surprised: "I know. They will be killed in the end anyway. So let's make use of them. They can also be used as a trap."

"How is that guy called Yuan Zhisheng? What's his strength? And what forces do the other guys belong to? Have you found out?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Just when Perry was surprised, the old man spoke again.

"They're all dead."

Perry was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Who died?"

"Everyone."

"How is this possible?!" Perry blurted out almost subconsciously.

He doesn't care whether those people are dead or alive. He set up such a trap just to watch a dog-eat-dog fight. No matter who wins or loses or how many people die, it has nothing to do with him, the person watching the movie behind the scenes.

Because this was the script he planned.

But now, the ending was beyond his expectations.

Although he didn't know the bloodlines of those hybrids who sneaked in, Perry roughly knew how many of them there were. With so many guys together, was there no way they could deal with a single Yuan Zhisheng?

Isn't it said that although this former young master was considered a good hand in the Execution Bureau, he was indecisive and not even half as good as the S-level one?

Perry got this evaluation from various channels and it was absolutely true, so he believed it without a doubt and was confident that those hybrids could definitely deal with Yuan Zhisheng.

Even if those hybrids failed in the end, it was probably because the assistance of the Eight Snake Qi Clans arrived, and some of those hybrids would definitely escape, just bringing out the information he wanted, such as the actual strength of the Eight Snake Qi Clans.

But now, something he had never expected happened. Everyone was dead. How could this be possible? Perry knew that his teacher had no reason to lie to him about such a thing, so even if he didn't want to believe it in his heart, he had to start thinking about this fact.

"Could it be that... that Yuan Zhisheng has actually been hiding his strength?" Perry said, "That's possible. Aren't he and that S-level brother and sister? They look so similar, so their strength shouldn't be that different."

But something unexpected happened again, because his teacher said, "No."

"Who else could it be? Are there other S-levels among the Eight Snake Families?"

"No." The old voice whispered, "We are all wrong."

"how?"

"Just a few hours ago, all messages from Japan were cut off. Our infiltration efforts during this period suddenly became ineffective. I tried to contact the undercover agents, but found that they had already died without my knowing."

"The last piece of news that the undercover agent brought out in Japan was a photo."

"What picture?"

“The real man behind the scenes.”

The old man's voice was hoarse and low, containing emotions that Perry couldn't understand, but before Perry could ask any questions, the other party spoke again.

"Come back immediately. There is an important meeting waiting for you. After the meeting, bring your things to find me at the old place."

Before he finished speaking, the call was hung up. Soon there was a new message alert. Perry opened the message and frowned immediately.

The photo showed broken limbs and arms everywhere, and it was blood red at a glance. In this bloody and horrific hell, a woman in black combat uniform was kneeling on one knee with a knife in both hands.

She was truly a woman you could never forget at first sight, with her curvy figure, long black hair, charming face, and a pair of stunning long legs. She was truly unforgettable.

Perry was sure that he had never seen this woman before, because if one had seen such a beauty once, he would definitely remember her forever, and he would definitely not have no impression of her at all like he did now.

The woman in the photo looked injured. There was a big tear in her combat uniform and bright red blood was flowing out. Her long black hair was a little messy, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle.

The phone vibrated again. After the teacher's contact sent this photo, several more messages followed.

Teacher: I checked. This person is called Jude Mai. She is of Japanese mixed-race, but not from the Snake Eight Clan. She seems to belong to a mysterious organization and has been appearing around the world over the years.

Teacher: The last news released by our people was that Yuan Zhisheng left after killing those ten people, and the remaining hybrids were all killed by this woman named Jiude Mai, presumably to silence them.

Perry narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the two messages, and raised his hand to type.

Perry: What mysterious organization?
Teacher: It’s not clear yet, but it seems that they are extremely hidden. We have never noticed them before, but they finally can’t help but show up.

Teacher: The Eight Clans of Sheqi is just a cover, just thrown out by Angers to attract attention. Angers' real trump card is still hidden, but one day it will be revealed. Have you heard of the pioneer of the king?
Perry had certainly heard of the term "pioneer for the king". This ancient Chinese term means to be the pioneer for the king. It also means a false dragon that deceives the world before the real dragon is born.

Perry: Teacher, what you mean is that the Eight Snake Clans, including the S-class that has been in the limelight, are just pioneers for the king?

Teacher: Yes, this explains why they are so high-profile, because they want to cover up the real “king”.

Perry: So what do we do now?
Teacher: You don’t have to do anything. There may be new S-levels appearing in the future. Just wait and see.

The old man ended the topic in a decisive tone. Perry put away his phone, not disguising the surprise on his face.

This ending was unexpected but reasonable. From the very beginning, he felt that the Eight Snake Clans, including the S-level who suddenly appeared, were too high-profile. Now that he thought about it, it was just done deliberately for everyone to see at Ange's instruction, just to cover up the real killer move.

Now that I know this, there is no need to waste time on such pioneers. It seems that leaving Japan early is the right choice.

I just don’t know how many organizations are hiding behind the scenes, the water seems to be getting deeper and deeper.

Perry closed the knife box casually and gradually fell into deep thought.

What he didn't know was that on the same plane, in a corner that should have been empty, there was a thin figure sitting.

He was a pale and thin young man with very short hair, looking somewhere between a boy and a girl. A scarlet long knife was placed across his legs, and a large suitcase was also placed at his feet.

As the plane turned, the suitcase seemed to tremble, and the young man kicked the suitcase, and it became quiet in an instant.

"Don't move, be good."

The young man smiled and patted the suitcase. His voice was very soft and hoarse, like a lover's lingering whisper: "It's time for you to show off."
