Angers smiled helplessly: "That's somewhat true."
Lin Chen drank tea.
Angers continued, "To be honest, what do you think of Lu Mingfei's performance during this period? Including in Project Bronze, Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo went underwater as part of the underwater work team. In his report, Man 873 Stein said that when they surfaced during the dive, only Nuonuo was inside, but Lu Mingfei's body was found on the surface."
"His performance was alright, but shouldn't we ask Lu Mingfei about the rest?"
Angers shook his head: "According to Chapter 15, Section 4 of the Kassel College regulations, those involved in an operation are not allowed to exchange details of the operation with each other. Once the operation is completed, everything will be sealed in the archives. You and Lu Mingfei were both here just now, so you cannot discuss the details of the operation together."
“This is the principal’s office. It’s a secret known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. Even Norma doesn’t have the authority to listen in here. And you’re the principal of the academy. To be honest, I didn’t even know there was such a school rule until you told me.”
Angers looked into Lin Chen's eyes and said, "Sometimes I think that if Lu Mingfei were as smart as you, some things would be much easier to handle."
Is this a compliment?
“You can understand it that way,” Angers said. “Let’s get back to our previous topic. Do you have any thoughts on the details of Lin Chen’s role in the Bronze Project?”
"I don't see any problem. Principal, what do you think is wrong?"
The principal casually took out the report on the Bronze Project: "According to Chen Motong's description, she was attacked in the water by what appeared to be the Dragon King. She hid in the diving bell and then surfaced, where she was seriously injured. But why was Lu Mingfei able to escape unscathed? He was still fast asleep when he was rescued from the water."
“It’s undeniable that Lu Mingfei has many secrets,” Lin Chen said, shrugging. “But if you’re really curious, it’s Lu Mingfei who’s left here now, not me.”
Angers looked directly into Lin Chen's eyes and spoke slowly after a long while: "You're right, I don't want to ask. I personally believe Lu Mingfei, this child must have some secrets of his own."
Lin Chen chimed in, "I don't want to ask either."
Angers looked at Lin Chen with surprise: "It seems you know just as much as I do. Speaking of which, your performance in Project Bronze was the most outstanding. Killing a Dragon King-level target is beyond what a hybrid can do."
"That was thanks to the Stormfish; I was just finishing them off."
"It's a perfect excuse, but the board of directors aren't stupid; they won't believe it."
Lin Chen stretched and said, "Since they're not stupid, they must be able to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether or not to offend someone capable of killing a Dragon King-level target!"
Angers smiled and personally stood up to refill Lin Chen's teacup with black tea: "I'm so glad to hear such words. Even if I were sitting in the board of directors, I might not have the same confidence as you."
Lin Chen took the teacup: "Thank you."
Angers stared at the report in front of him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "I won't ask too many details, but could you reveal one thing?"
"can."
"Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, wields the most powerful fire-type Word of Power—the Candle Dragon! It's the number 114, a world-destroying level Word of Power. The last time it was released, it destroyed the entire White Emperor City. Compared to that, Chu Zihang's Monarch Flame is as fragile as a small flame. I want to know if it was released near the Kui Gate!"
"Yes," Lin Chen said casually.
Angers remained silent for a long time before nodding slightly.
The two men raised their glasses across the desk and drank the black tea in one gulp.
Angers looked at Lin Chen in front of him: "I've already sent the report on the Kuimen Project to the board of directors. Guess what those guys are thinking now?"
Lin Chen tilted his head: "They might see me as a more dangerous being, or even suspect that I'm a dragon king!"
“That’s a possibility, but they don’t dare to yet,” Angers said. “Because if you really are the Dragon King, they have no idea how to deal with you!”
"That's not necessarily true. With a generous reward, there will always be brave men. Compared to a living Dragon King, what are some losses and sacrifices?"
"So you've already become the target of everyone's criticism."
Lin Chen shrugged: "Unfortunately, such suspicion is wrong. I am just a hybrid, not a dragon. Even if they lose all their trump cards and manage to win against me by chance, they will not be able to obtain the Dragon King's Dragon Bone Cross."
"Understood." Angzhe nodded. "I'll handle the board of directors."
"Thank you."
“You are the proudest student of Kassel College, and it is my duty as the principal to do so,” Angers said. “It’s not just your ability, but also your vision. You recruited Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei into the school, and they are both students I have high hopes for now.”
Lin Chen looked at Angers: "I think I've picked up on something else."
Angers smiled and said, "As expected of my ace S-class student, yes, I have a new task for you."
"Or is it for student recruitment?"
"The summer vacation is coming, which means the new semester is about to begin. While you are back in China for the summer, there are some promising students in the preparatory classes in China that I need you to assess."
"It sounds like a very important task, but shouldn't these be done by specialized instructors? I'm just a student, and I'm really flattered. Principal, are you really comfortable entrusting this to me?"
"How can their vision compare to yours! As the most deserving S-rank in the academy, there are some things that only you are suitable to do."
Lin Chen shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I meant that putting me among a bunch of female students is a bit too much of a reward. Principal, aren't you worried that something bad might happen?"
“Not only am I not worried, but I’m actually looking forward to it.” Angers shrugged. “The bloodlines of hybrids have gradually diluted over the past century. With your help, I’m really looking forward to the birth of more A- or even S-class babies!”
"Principal, you seem to be joking."
"You were the one who made the joke first!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "I'm not joking!"
160: The Nanny Group's Suburban Villa! Lin Chen's Driving View!
Train CC1000 slowly departed from the platform, heading along the dark tracks into the winding mountains.
The mountains and forests quieted down, and the summer vacation at Kassel College began.
Lin Chen was almost the last to leave the academy, while Finger had already rushed out of the campus on the day the final exams ended.
Lin Chen packed his meager belongings, drove his Alfa Romeo, and parked it downstairs at the dormitory next door to wait.
A woman in a white miniskirt jumped out of the dormitory and Ling, with light blonde hair, appeared in front of Lin Chen.
Summer vacation arrived, and Zero was wearing a white short skirt. When she walked, the hem of the skirt bounced up to her thighs.
She wore a pink tank top that accentuated her slender waist.
Zero walked up to Lin Chen: "President, I'm ready!"
"Let's go!" Lin Chen opened the front trunk and put Ling's suitcase inside.
Lin Chen was driving, and Ling was sitting in the passenger seat.
The sports car drove along the suburban road, and the Kassel College in the rearview mirror disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Lin Chen gripped the steering wheel: "Your accommodation has been arranged. You'll be staying with Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi, so you can look after each other and won't be bored."
Zero nodded: "Thank you, Chairman."
"You're welcome," Lin Chen said. "Besides, now that you've left the academy, you should change how you address me."
Ling turned his head to Lin Chen, then nodded seriously: "Okay, boss!"
Lin Chen reached out and gently pinched Ling's cheek: "That's right, you truly are my obedient girl."
Zero hesitated for a moment: "Actually, there's something I don't quite understand."
"Tell me."
"Are you sure you don't need me to do anything?"
Lin Chen looked at Zero's face: "What do you want to do?"
“You are my boss, and I am your employee. For mixed-race people, employees like me are handling dangerous tasks. But according to Mai Shude, all I need to do is be your girl.”
"That's how it should be," Lin Chen said. "From beginning to end, I've only been telling you to obey!"
Zero nod.
Since Lin Chen has said so, Zero will choose to obey.
She was an even more obedient and compliant girl than Mai Shude. Whatever Lin Chen said, she believed without question!
The Alfa Romeo quickly entered Chicago's territory, but instead of heading into the city, it drove towards a suburban residential area.
It was a luxurious, almost manor-like residence, a three-story villa with a floor area of no less than 500 square meters.
Meanwhile, behind the villa is a vast lawn, which is an entire golf course!
This was all Su Enxi's doing. She is indeed a shrewd businesswoman. In some areas, EVA is no match for Su Enxi.
Lin Chen drove the car into the yard and immediately saw two beautiful figures standing in front of the villa.
One of them wore a long, flowing linen dress, and her proportions were incredible; even in flat shoes, she was half a head taller than Su Enxi next to her.
Despite being paired with Mai Shude, Su Enxi's beauty still stands out.
She goes for a relaxed and casual style; the oversized T-shirt can't hide her shapely figure, and the "no pants" look shows off her long, beautiful legs!
Zero got out of the passenger seat, and Mai Shude and Su Enxi lined up to hug her.
But such a hug was only a brief encounter; it might be more accurate to call it a greeting.
But it was different when facing Lin Chen. Su Enxi jumped onto Lin Chen's waist and hooked her arms around his neck.
Mai Shude stood behind Su Enxi, their lips touching through Su Enxi's.
A rare look of surprise appeared on Zero's usually calm face.
"you……"
Only then did Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi separate from Lin Chen.
Mai turned to look at Rei: "What's wrong?"
Zero was silent for a moment: "I don't know what happened to you, but this doesn't seem to be your character!"
