Chapter 22: Just a Reluctant Avenger

Has Yuan Zhisheng returned to Japan? Or did he take the same flight with Ange?
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Yuan Zhinv was stunned for a moment.

It's not that she hadn't thought that Ange would come, but knowing that this might be a trap, he was still so blatant and unconcealed. Wasn't it a bit arrogant?
However, it is understandable that the Japanese branch or something like that may not really be a big deal in the eyes of this legendary principal, at least not as important as his folding knife.

Feeling a little emotional, Yuan Zhinu did not hesitate and answered truthfully.

"Gen Chisei is my twin brother. My name is Gen Chinu, the second daughter of the Gen family."

Ange looked her up and down in surprise: "Hasn't the Yuan family's bloodline disappeared a long time ago? It's ok that a Yuan Zhisheng suddenly appeared many years ago, but how come there is also a second daughter?"

"Why has the Japanese branch never announced your existence?"

The gentleman narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression did not change much, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression that made people feel suffocated for no reason.

"Finally, classmate, I hope you can answer me truthfully why my folding knife appeared in your hand."

"I got the folding knife by accident. I made all this noise just to see you. The sudden appearance of Yuan Zhisheng and I was premeditated."

Genji said to Ange with a serious expression and a sincere tone: "This is a long story, so I hope you can give me some time."

"of course."

Ange smiled slightly, and the invisible sense of oppression disappeared instantly. He turned back into the gentle old gentleman and even played a little joke with his student's sister:
"I spent so much money to take a picture of my own folding knife, so naturally I want to hear the secret."

Yuan Zhinv thought for a moment and spoke carefully: "The story begins several decades ago, in the north of Siberia, within the Arctic Circle, there was an unnamed port that could only be reached by icebreakers..."

Gen Chitose is not a good storyteller, and many details are even unclear, but her calm voice without any ups and downs has a magical power that can make people calm down inexplicably.

She calmly takes the listeners back to the cold winter of 1991, to the shore of the Arctic Ocean, on the chalky snowfield of Siberia, to the lonely fortress called Black Swan Port, the keel, the secret research institute, the orphanage, and the fire that lit up half the sky.

"Finally, Herzog took the ancient dragon embryo aboard the Lenin. The giant ship sailed eastward, toward Japan, and finally sank into the deep sea."

"Now, under the strait of Japan, the Lenin and the ancient dragon embryo are trapped inside. They are the sacrifices carefully selected by Herzog. The fresh fetal blood of the embryo feeds the real owner of the strait, which is a sleeping dragon. What Herzog really wants to resurrect is the White King."

"He played two roles. He appeared out of nowhere more than 20 years ago. He used the identity of Tachibana Masamune to control the Japanese branch, and used the identity of the king to control the demons. The whole of Japan was played in his hands, and everyone was fooled by him."

"My brother and I are both chess pieces controlled by him." At this point, Yuan Zhinv paused and smiled with a hint of self-mockery: "But I am not a very obedient chess piece."

"I have been trying to disrupt his plan for more than three years. I have conducted various experiments, but none of them have worked. I have killed more than a hundred of his substitutes, but I have never even seen his real body."

"I don't have any evidence either. This is all information I got from being around him over the years. But the time, place and port are all true. You can check it out."

After the story was told, there was a long silence.

Ange didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just played with the folding knife quietly, with his eyes lowered as if in deep thought.

There was no expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking after hearing this story.

Genjitsu didn't say anything either. She had said everything she wanted to say. She told everything she knew and even predicted things that hadn't happened yet. All she had to do now was wait and see what would happen.

The whole of Japan is full of enemies. Minamoto Chitose can't find a suitable ally here. Her father is hiding in some corner selling ramen and can't be found. Her brother is a stubborn idiot, so she can only take a risk.

At least Ange is the most suitable ally she can think of. Compared with other people with different thoughts, Ange is the purest. All those who want to resurrect the dragon are his enemies. From this point of view, they are on the same front.

So she will try her best to convince Ange that she needs the help of Kassel College.

I don't know how long it took, but just when Yuan Zhinu gradually began to feel uneasy and even doubted that she would not get an answer, Ange finally spoke slowly. "It's an interesting secret." He commented calmly: "It's worth the price."

Yuan Zhinu felt inexplicably guilty. To be honest, she didn't know how much Angers had spent on the folding knife. Logically, he shouldn't have to pay to get his things back, but since he said the secret was worth the price, Yuan Zhinu naturally had to agree.

Although you always have to show sincerity when asking someone for help, there is no regulation on who should show this sincerity. How can the sincerity of the person being asked not be counted as sincerity?
"But compared to this secret, I'm more curious about you."

Ange changed the subject, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze sharp and even a little sharp: "In this story you told, what role do you play?"

"It's hard to believe that he was able to find out so many core secrets even though he lived under surveillance since he was a child..."

Yuan Zhinu knew that she was being doubted, but what she said was true, and her background was clean, so she was not afraid of being investigated, so she said bluntly: "Maybe I am gifted."

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"You brought me to Japan with such fanfare, just to tell me this. What is your purpose?"

Yuan Zhinu looked straight into Ange's eyes and said word by word: "I want freedom."

"I have been controlled by him since I was born, but I don't want to be a pawn in his hands, I don't want to be controlled by his life and death, and I don't want to rush to the damn fate he has written for me."

"The whole of Japan is like a huge net that has locked me and my brother in. I can't break free from the inside, so I can only seek help from the outside."

"I know that you, Principal, are a staunch dragon slayer. We are absolutely on the same page in this regard, and I want to cooperate with you."

"If you save me, I will help you kill the White King."

"Kill the White King? Just by you?"

"Just me."

As these three words fell, Yuan Zhinu's eyes lit up with dazzling molten gold, flashing with the light of karmic fire.

It was still that gentle and delicate face, but at this moment, Yuan Zhinu was as strong as a diamond. An overwhelming and irresistible majesty burst out from her body. At that moment, she seemed like an emperor sitting high on the throne, so arrogant and insolent.

Ange looked at her quietly, the tit-for-tat pressure quietly dissipated, and he sighed softly.

"You remind me of an old friend."

Yuan Zhinv looked at him in confusion.

"But if, as you said, your bloodline comes from the previous emperor, then that's almost right."

The voice sighed softly, seeming helpless and full of emotion.

"No wonder he looks like an old friend. He turns out to be the son of an old friend."

Before Yuan Zhinv could ask, Angé had already stood up. He reached out and patted her thin shoulder, and his tone softened.

"Don't worry, I'll take you away."

"But you are wrong about one thing. I am not a determined dragon slayer. I am just an unwilling avenger."
