Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 476: The Cunning of Dragons

It was time to rest, and it was just dark enough.

Susie stood at the dormitory window, curious about the sudden gathering of the executive department.

The troops led by Beowulf were gathering on the runway, and the new weapons of the equipment department were pushed out of the ice cellar. It looked like they were going to have a war, a tough one.

Who should we fight? Lu Mingfei? Han Qiu? Or Jörmungandr?

Susie didn't know, but she was vaguely worried about the president of the Lionheart Society.

To this day, the Lionheart Club still has no new president. Susie is not willing to take on such a heavy responsibility. That position can only belong to Chu Zihang unless Chu Zihang graduates.

But Chu Zihang didn't graduate, he just encountered some troubles.

In order to satisfy her curiosity, Susie called Nuo Nuo. She called several times a day during this period, but there was no response.

It's the same this time.

Caesar should know what happened, he is the school director now, Susie thought.

She silently dialed Caesar's number.

Susie understood the situation from Caesar's slightly weak voice.

The person who caused trouble in Chicago and took Nuonuo away was not Chen Bailing, but Han Qiu.

Han Qiu is not with Lu Mingfei, but has come to the United States and sneaked into the Chen family. Now not only the academy, but also all the secret party families have sent people to San Francisco, ready to solve the trouble of Han Qiu in one fell swoop.

Susie's heart slowly calmed down, and after hanging up the phone, she continued to stare out the window in a daze.

Han Qiu's image slowly emerged in her mind, and those past events also came flooding back. Although they had very little contact, this guy... was really unexpected.

It seemed as if everything was caused by Han Qiu. The academy has never been at peace since he entered the school.

……

"Oh! My old friend, you look very sad. Do you want to quit your job?" A figure walked out of the darkness.

It was rare for him not to be standing in the dark, wearing a plaid shirt, a rolled-brimmed hat, holding a bottle of whiskey and reeking of alcohol.

Flamel should have been imprisoned, but he stayed in the attic of the principal's office.

Beowulf, with a gloomy face, sat in front of the computer and issued orders, which were conveyed to the various families by Norma, and began to mobilize CN personnel to hunt down Lu Mingfei.

"Would you like a drink, Captain of the Squad?" Flamel placed the bottle in front of Beowulf.

"Don't bother me." Beowulf moved the bottle away. "San Francisco is in a mess right now. I don't have the heart to drink with you."

"A mess? Chen Bailing's matter?" Flamel perfectly explained what it meant to let drinking ruin one's business.

He was so drunk that he didn't know what was happening outside.

"Chen Bailing? That's Han Qiu! Damn it, that guy deceived all of us!" Beowulf said, "He is in the Chen family now, hiding in the dark. A dragon is hiding in the Chen family's manor!"

"This plot sounds familiar." Flamel thought for a moment and said, "Another Summer Mourning? No, there is a big difference. That time it was a dragon that looked like it was dead."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I have to go there myself." Beowulf stood up.

Flamel held Beowulf down and said, "Those young people are enough. The old men of the Chen family are all here too. Just give them the support they need. You won't be of any use if you go there. Do you still want to fight dragons with a knife at your age?"

"Flamel, my pride as a Beowulf does not allow me to ignore a dragon doing whatever it wants right under my nose." Beowulf pushed Flamel's hand away.

"I think you need to calm down and put yourself in the right position. You are now the principal and the times have changed. We talked about the times a few days ago and we don't have to go there specially. Don't you want to see the cards of those families?" Flamel asked cunningly.

Beowulf thinks Flamel is crazy and emphasizes: "Now is the time to slay dragons, not to engage in political intrigues."

"This is the difference between you and me and the old rogue. He can endure things, but you can't. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Han Qiu is not Norton. Even Norton would not send the entire secret party to the battlefield. The reason why you can't hold your temper is because a dragon has played a trick on you." Flamel said.

Beowulf groaned, "It's more than just a joke. It's like he gave all of us a loud slap in the face. Not only do we not understand his intentions, we don't even know where he is going."

"So we have to be more patient. Although I have no experience fighting with Han Qiu, I have learned about his style of doing things when I was in Japan. He will not act recklessly without sufficient preparation. Maybe his purpose is to attract the attention of all the families. That guy is very good at scheming and can make people willingly step into his traps, such as the Sheqi Eight Clan. Do you know how he got the Sheqi Eight Clan to establish a temporary cooperation with him?"

"explain."

"He helped the Snake Eight Clan deal with the fierce ghosts, brought up the matter of the White King, and delayed the time for Norma to attack Kaguya. Even to this day, I cannot understand the significance of his sacrifice, but I have to say that his sacrifice made it impossible for the Snake Eight Clan to refuse the request for cooperation. He would grab what people wanted most, and was willing to sacrifice the parts that were not important to him. At the same time, he would hide. We had no substantive judgment on his strength, and it was always vague."

"You mean he has a purpose for acting so flamboyantly?"

"That's for sure, otherwise he wouldn't have kidnapped Nono, let alone gone to the Chen family. Don't fall into his trap. If he's in San Francisco, there's a high probability that Jörmungandr is also in the United States, and he might be near the academy. This move is called luring the tiger away from the mountain. It may not be the tiger away from the mountain, but we have to be on guard." Flamel recalled the time when Norton set the academy on fire. "If you are really determined to go to San Francisco, I suggest you take the entire academy with you, because I'm afraid you won't be able to see me when you come back."

"I think what you said makes sense."

"so?"

"Let the old man stay in the academy and leave the work to the young people. The specialists in the executive department are enough." Beowulf said.

Flamel didn't expect that he could easily convince this reckless man. He was a little surprised. "Gattuso, Laurent, these families have sent support. If Han Qiu is still not captured, then his danger level can be raised to the first generation level. Maybe some dragon king is really joking with us. It's a bit subversive to understand that there is such a dragon king."

"In my opinion, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. I agree with you because of Jörmungandr. We are in an awkward situation right now. There are too many guys hiding in the dark."

"So this is a good opportunity. Let's see how many guys are hiding in the dark." Flamel said, "This is our mission. Slaying the dragon is Lu Mingfei's job."

"If it is true as you said, what does Han Qiu intend to do to the academy?"

"Norma, the collection in the ice cellar, or destroy the academy. You know the cruelty of dragons, and now Han Qiu has shown us how... cunning they are."
