After fully understanding who Cao Han was, Alex even began to suspect, "Did the Board of Trustees use these people in their investigation team as cannon fodder to be sent to their deaths?!"
Anyone with a sound mind can see how much Angers values Cao Han, even going so far as to completely break ties with the other directors on the board to protect him, which shows that he sees Cao Han as his "successor".
Alex tapped his index finger lightly on the table, then said calmly, "You all should know very well why we are here."
I won't read the lengthy investigation reports. You can each take turns sharing the useful findings and conclusions you've drawn.
The crowd, who had just been indignant, fell into a deathly silence in the blink of an eye.
Everyone suspected Cao Han's lineage, but no one could find any solid evidence.
Finally, Johnny, under the prompting of the others, gritted his teeth and spoke up: "The only loophole is Cao Han's life experience before the age of eighteen. The records in the file are completely blank."
We used all available permissions to investigate but found nothing; it was as if this guy just appeared out of nowhere.
We have reason to suspect that this guy named Cao Han is actually a pure-blooded dragon, perhaps even a dragon king of the level of one of the Four Sovereigns, who entered Kassel College after reaching some kind of secret agreement with Hilbert Jean Angers.
"Evidence! Words alone are not enough; I need evidence!"
“There is no substantial evidence, but I have a suggestion.”
"explain."
"As long as we can obtain this person's blood and test it, the test results will be the best evidence."
"very good,"
Upon hearing Alex's praise, Johnny's smug smile froze completely before it even lasted two seconds, thanks to the next sentence: "Then the task of obtaining the blood test results will be entrusted to you, Johnny!"
A look of panic appeared on Johnny's handsome face. What right did he have to dare to obtain the other party's blood? If he made a mistake, he might lose his own life.
Johnny is just Johnny, unlike Alex who has the surname Gattuso.
The others in the room looked at Johnny with mockery, as if they were watching a joke.
"I...I..." Johnny stood awkwardly in place, opening his mouth for a long time but not knowing what to say.
Alex coughed twice, still choosing to come to his rescue: "Alright, just write these speculations in the investigation report and submit it to the board of directors. The rest is not our concern."
If it weren't for the fact that Johnny had been relatively obedient these past two days and that flattering him was quite pleasant, he wouldn't have bothered with anything.
The composition of this investigation team was extremely complex, including members from various school board families. He was only the nominal team leader and coordinator; in private, everyone basically did their own thing.
As expected, this investigation report will appear on the desks of all the school board members as soon as the meeting ends.
As for the blood test...
Alex shook his head inwardly. The method was indeed good, but it was a bit impractical.
There's also the speculation that Principal Angers and Cao Han are the Dragon King. Putting aside the lack of substantial evidence, even if they were true, who could be 100% certain that the Board of Directors wouldn't pretend to be ignorant?
This behavior is not entirely impossible.
It's important to know that in the original novel, Angers did indeed make a deal with the little devil Lu Mingze regarding Lu Mingfei's upbringing.
Even though Angers wasn't 100% certain about Lu Mingze's true identity, he had a pretty good idea of it.
Even so, it did not prevent the two sides from reaching a cooperation agreement, gradually pushing Lu Mingfei, the protagonist of destiny, to the center of the stage.
To be honest, their investigation team doesn't have much time left.
The board of directors can't possibly hold a meeting for a whole week. At most, Angers will return to Kassel College in another day or two, and their investigation team will have to leave before then.
Alex was unwilling to confront Angers' anger, given the arrogant attitude the investigation team members had displayed at Kassel College over the past two days.
"Everyone, pack up what you need to take today. We must leave tomorrow," Alex announced decisively.
Chapter 120 "Descendants of Yan and Huang"
Under Cao Han's brilliant guidance, Lucy Pallas, who had "seen the light," seemed to have found her way in a lost place and urgently began writing "Mission Report 2.0."
The focus is on highlighting his brilliant and courageous performance as the squad leader throughout the mission.
Such feats include: a single tremor of his tiger-like body scaring away tens of thousands of enemies; a burst of energy creating a crater thousands of meters long; and the appearance of nine soul rings that have existed for hundreds of millions of years beneath his feet when he releases his incantation.
Fingel, who was rough around the edges but meticulous, immediately realized something must have happened after receiving Cao Han's text message notification, otherwise Cao Han would not have changed his mind at the last minute.
Upon returning, he immediately took Cao Han to the balcony of the presidential suite to smoke. From the top floor, they could enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.
"Try mine this time, a real man dares to smoke this."
This time, Fingel took out a box of cigars from his person, cut them, lit them, and his movements were extremely skillful. Just by looking at the brand logo "COHIBA" printed on the box, you could tell that it was definitely not cheap.
The notoriously troubled college of Kassel is now completely recovered!
The bounties offered by Interpol for the criminals who died in the "Shibuya Incident" alone would have been enough for Finger to live a life of luxury for a long time.
When your wallet is full, your overall status rises.
After a trip to Japan on a mission, the decadent aura that had clung to me for years, if not completely swept away, has at least been greatly improved.
"This cigar is really strong!"
“Haha, this is Cohiba cigars, a legendary Cuban brand. They're known for their complex flavor and exceptional quality. I'm sure you'll grow to love them.” Fingel took a deep drag, a look of pure enjoyment on his face, then abruptly changed the subject, “Is something wrong?”
"The king of paparazzi should be able to guess."
"Investigation team?"
"Ah."
The two young men were silent for a while before Cao Han broke the silence, saying, "The real intention of the investigation team is not what it seems. They are using the investigation of the principal as a pretext to target me."
It seems my presence has encroached on the interests of some members of the school board.
cake?
It's all about profit!
Some of the old fogies are probably getting uneasy about Cao Han's terrifying strength and want to find an excuse to get rid of him before his power grows too great.
Fingel glanced at Cao Han, somewhat surprised. In his opinion, Cao Han was by no means an indecisive person, and there was obviously another deeper meaning behind his words to him.
He smiled and said, "Kassel College is Principal Angers' territory."
Unexpectedly, Cao Han changed the subject and said meaningfully, "If... I mean if... I really am a dragon in human skin, what do you think, senior?"
Fingel's smile froze instantly, his hair stood on end, and for a moment he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Cao Han beside him.
The investigation team could easily raise reasonable suspicions after only two days of investigation at Kassel College. From Chu Tianjiao, who was the first to be contacted, to Principal Angers and Professor Schneider, how could they not have imagined it?
If Cao Han was somewhat restrained while at Kassel College, after arriving in Japan, he made no attempt to conceal his immense power.
However, Fingel's headache wasn't about these things. He was more concerned about Cao Han's behavior and way of thinking. He figured that even a proud pure-blooded dragon wouldn't do something like wanting to go to Akihabara, the holy land of otaku, because he liked anime and manga.
So much so that after a while, my doubts began to dissipate.
As a result, a casual remark from earlier caused him to have a headache again.
"Eva~"
For some reason, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed through Fingel's mind, a figure he could not forget every time he dreamed of her in the middle of the night.
So what if they are pure-blooded dragons?
As long as it helps him achieve his revenge plan, even if it means sacrificing his own soul, Fingel will not hesitate!
"In the history of the dragon race, there are also instances of pure-blooded dragons and hybrids cooperating to fight against external enemies, and this phenomenon is particularly common in your hometown, Boss."
While Fingel did not seem to directly answer Cao Han's question, his subtext already revealed his attitude.
In China, the dragon is a totem symbol, a kind of guardian deity.
Throughout China's five thousand years of history, countless pure-blooded dragons have been hidden behind the scenes, including even the two great dragon kings, the King of Bronze and Fire and the King of Earth and Mountain.
The name "Descendants of Yan and Huang" includes "Yan" which represents the king of bronze and fire, and "Huang" which represents the king of earth and mountains.
"Hahaha, I was just joking around. Do I look like a dragon?" Cao Han ended the slightly abrupt and strange topic with a hearty laugh.
The sound of approaching footsteps rang out, appearing at just the right moment, as senior student Lucy Pallas strode quickly toward the balcony.
"Junior, the task report has been revised according to your requirements. Would you like to take another look?"
Lucy Pallas nodded slightly to Fingel.
Cao Han quickly turned around and said, "Senior, I have great faith in your writing skills. I've heard from some of the senior students that you've written quite a few BL (Boys' Love) works that are very popular among the female students on campus."
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as her glorious past was brought up, Lucy Pallas's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe red apple. If it weren't for the hard floor of the presidential suite, she could have dug a three-bedroom, two-living-room house out of her toes on the spot.
The only way to describe him is "young and inexperienced".
She never expected that even though she was using an alias to hide herself when publishing her work, she still couldn't stop the relentless tracking ability of the paparazzi from the school's news department.
Thinking about this...
Lucy Pallas suddenly remembered that the Minister of the News Department, the biggest paparazzi king, was none other than Fingel in front of her. Seeing that the other party still had a "none of my business" expression, she immediately raised her eyebrows and glared at him fiercely several times.
"Perfect!"
After quickly reviewing the revised "Task Report 2.0", Cao Han couldn't help but praise it highly.
Emphasizing where it should be emphasized and leaving things ambiguous where it should be ambiguous perfectly achieves the effect he desires.
After printing out the mission report, Cao Han led the three of them to sign their names in the "Executive Specialist Signature" column, and finally put it into a kraft paper file bag for safekeeping.
As for the electronic version, he does not intend to submit it immediately.
"Norma, what's the earliest flight back to Chicago?"
“I checked. Tomorrow morning at 8:45, I fly from Tokyo to San Francisco, and then transfer to Chicago,” Fingel blurted out.
This reaction speed is even faster than that of artificial intelligence; it seems they had done their homework in advance.
Now that the answer was already known, Norma's mechanical voice naturally didn't come out of the phone.
“Norma, use the operation funds to book the earliest flight back to Chicago for the three of us.”
"Mr. Cao Han, would you like to book economy or business class?"
Business class.
"Yes, Commissioner Cao Han."
This is what it means to ride a bicycle to a bar – save money where you can and spend money where you can.
Since everything could be reimbursed under the operating expenses anyway, Cao Han had no intention of saving money for those rich dogs on the board of directors.
