Lin Chen nodded: "Let's go in and take a look, shall we go together?"
Lu Mingfei shrank her neck: "Let's not go. The principal told me to wait outside, so I'd better not go anywhere."
"Okay, then you can keep waiting."
Lin Chen stepped into the building. The interior space was very large, but Lin Chen soon saw Angers.
Inside a large conference room, there was a long table set up, and young people were sitting around it. Lin Chen felt a sense of déjà vu.
The same long table was used when Lin Chen negotiated with Han Gao and his team.
However, the spot where Lin Chen was sitting is now occupied by Angers.
When Angers saw Lin Chen, his expression was noticeably happier.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lin Chen!" Angers greeted Lin Chen. "I've already heard about your deeds from Han Gao. You did a great job, and Kassel College should thank you!"
"It was nothing, Principal Angers, it's been a long time." Lin Chen then looked at Hango at the end of the long table, "It's been a long time, Mr. Hango!"
Han Gao's expression was quite calm: "It's only been two days, it really has been a long time!"
Lin Chen shrugged and didn't say anything.
Angers laughed: "Han Gao, I never expected that my student would meet you before me!"
“That’s a business matter and shouldn’t be confused with our negotiations today!” Henkel said.
“Then let’s get back to today’s negotiations,” Angers said. “You’ve brought so many young people, while I’ve only brought one, Henkel. We’re both over a hundred years old. This world belongs to the young. There are some things that young people can discuss!”
"If you're referring to Lin Chen, then there's no room for negotiation?"
"You can argue with me for so long, so why can't you have anything to say when it comes to young people?"
Han Gao stared into Angers' eyes: "You're an old madman, Lin Chen is a young madman, but madness knows no age."
Lin Chen said, "I really hope you can visit Kassel College. We're full of lunatics there!"
Han Gao's gaze was somber.
Ang Zhe nodded: "Right now, you're facing two madmen, two bloodthirsty madmen. Can you talk about the wheels of history with bloodthirsty madmen?"
“No,” Henkel agreed.
Angers flicked the cigarette butt off his cigar: "That's good. Don't talk to me about interests or new dragons. All dragons are my enemies, and those who are my enemies all end up badly!"
Lin Chen chimed in, "Me too!"
Angers got up and led Lin Chen out of conference room 763.
Lin Chen followed behind Angers until they reached the building's exit, where Angers stopped.
He turned around and looked at Lin Chen, his expression showing a hint of admiration.
"Although I don't know exactly how strong you are, I'm happy to see you make Han Gao suffer!"
Lin Chen smiled: "The principal's methods are truly brilliant, but judging from the scene just now, it seems there was no need to call me over!"
“You’ve forgotten that I’m an educator,” Angers said. “Although I’m not your tutor, I am your principal. You are the most outstanding student at Kassel College. All the young people at the long table combined are not as good as you. That’s enough!”
"It sounds like...keeping up with the Joneses."
Angers shrugged: "Pretty much. Henkel hit me a hundred years ago. Our negotiations were interrupted by war in the last century, but now my student has won a battle against him. That's a victory for this old man!"
“Actually, you have some outstanding students around you.” Lin Chen pointed to the guy squatting outside the gate. “He has great potential. Compared to him, the young people at Han Gao are a bunch of good-for-nothings!”
Angers' gaze drifted into the distance: "He's still growing up, I'll teach him well!"
As the two went outside, Lu Mingfei, who was outside, quickly stood up.
“Let’s go,” Angers said. “I’ll see you off.”
"You guys go ahead," Lin Chen said. "I still have some things to take care of."
192: Mr. KFC! Monitor Lin Chen!
After Angers and Lin Chen left, the conference room fell silent.
Han Gao, leaning on his cane, stood up shakily.
All the young people looked at him solemnly.
Among mixed-race families in North America, Henkel held an unparalleled position.
Despite their pride and arrogance, the young heirs of these families were as docile as puppies in front of Henkel.
That was a family fortune built with time and blood; Henkel was an emperor of mixed North American descent!
Henkel gave the younger generation some pointers, then opened a drawer and took out two old-fashioned gold revolvers.
That was Henkel's prized alchemical weapon—the Texas Dawn!
This is an alchemical revolver that has left its mark on the history of hybrids; he once used this weapon to hit Angers.
Henkel removed a bullet; the bullet's head was engraved with mysterious alchemical patterns.
Even though this weapon is over a hundred years old, it can still easily knock down a hippopotamus!
"I have to be wary of you, Angers. We're about the same age, I'm old and nearing death, but he's as energetic as a young man," Henri said. "His inner desire is incredibly strong—revenge, more vibrant than any other desire! Like a towering tree, its shadow completely envelops his heart!"
He sighed, toying with the alchemical revolver in his hand: "I really envy his youth, and that wildfire of desire!"
A young man cautiously raised his hand: "Patriarch, you once defeated Angers, and you still possess this ability! Hybrids naturally have long lifespans, and most people your age are lying in hospital wards!"
Han Gao shook his head: "Compared to those people, I look a little better, but compared to Angers, I am far inferior. When facing him, I can only hide alchemical weapons in a drawer, not to mention that Lin Chen is by his side!"
The young man hesitated for a moment: "What's there to be afraid of about Lin Chen?"
Han Gao continued to shake his head: "You all grew up in a greenhouse and don't understand enough about beings capable of slaying Dragon Kings. If he were really that easy to deal with, the Gattuso family would have already chosen a burial site for Lin Chen, but Lin Chen is still alive and well!"
“I don’t understand,” the young man said. “After all, he’s just a young student.”
Henkel paused for a moment: "Perhaps you can understand this better. Putting aside status and relationship, Angers' attitude towards Lin Chen is better than mine. That's out of respect for strength!"
The young people nodded thoughtfully.
Henkel, leaning on his cane, walked to the wall of the conference room.
"Come on, they're gone!"
The hidden door in the wall was opened, and the person hiding inside walked out silently.
He was a very burly man, wearing a silver-gray suit, shiny leather shoes, and an expensive rose gold watch on his wrist.
The young people followed the outfit to the person's face, but one by one they froze in shock.
The person had a KFC paper bag over their head, with only two small holes cut out for their eyes and mouth, enough for them to see the outside world and eat the fries in their hand.
This combination looks quite bizarre; even if placed outdoors, it would be considered abstract performance art.
But KFC's CEO sat in the original Angers spot, facing Henkel across the long table, while eating fries as if no one else was there.
The young heirs present gained a new understanding of the world.
They are heirs to a North American mixed-race family, born into a noble and pampered family. They are only slightly polite when facing their elders and Han Gao; otherwise, they are like young masters in their own families.
But in just one day, their worldview suffered a devastating blow.
Angers completely ignored them, and even Henkel couldn't argue with Angers.
Then Lin Chen appeared and continued to crush them.
Now a strange artist has emerged, still ignoring these young people.
The artist was clearly there to see Henkel, and he nodded to Henkel across the long table.
Henkel made a joke about Mr. KFC's appearance and then discussed it with him.
The content revolves around the dragon bones of the Bronze and Fire King, which was also the topic discussed by Henkel and Angers.
They quickly discussed the matter and completed a certain transaction.
But Henkel suddenly brought up an unexpected topic.
"There's one more thing I need you to do along with it!"
Mr. KFC looked up: "I thought the details of the collaboration were already finalized!"
“No!” Henkel said. “Consider it a bonus, or perhaps, a new collaboration?”
"A new partnership?" Mr. KFC became interested.
"Lin Chen!" Han Gao said, "Keep an eye on him for me!"
"You just asked me to monitor Lu Mingfei, and now you've switched to Lin Chen. It sounds like I'm some kind of surveillance camera that can split itself into multiple bodies!"
"Lin Chen is hiding too many secrets. He was able to kill a dragon king. Aren't you curious about the secrets he holds?"
"...Yes, he can kill a dragon king, so of course he must have many secrets," Mr. KFC said. "But someone who can kill a dragon king can also kill me!"
"It's a challenging task, but are you afraid of that?"
“No!” Mr. KFC shook his head. “I mean, it depends on the price!”
“No problem!” Henkel said. “I’ll increase the bargaining chips, a reward you absolutely cannot refuse!”
"Deal!" Mr. KFC stood up and staggered out the side door.
