I'm coming!
The classic phrase "For the good of XXX" may be late, but it has arrived.
Parents say it's for the child's good, teachers say it's for the students' good, bosses say it's for the employees' good...
"The reason we dispatched this force is because we received accurate information that the team from Kassel College possessed the core bronze disc from the ruins of the White Emperor City in Nibelungen, the city once ruled by the King of Bronze and Fire."
Given the urgency of the situation, it's understandable that we didn't have time to notify the leader and everyone present.
I believe everyone here is aware of our increasingly serious situation, right?
If we could use this bronze disc as a starting point to find a new Nibelungen, wouldn't that solve the problem?
Moreover, we were very careful in our actions; we only detained everyone from Kassel College and did not harm a single person.
His explanation was so logical and well-founded that he presented himself as a "reasonable and objective" person, analyzing the pros and cons of the whole situation for both sides.
If everyone didn't know exactly what kind of person this guy was, they might actually have been fooled by his excellent acting skills.
Once interests are involved, many people can no longer turn a blind eye.
The blame was no longer being directed at Elder Andrei, who was secretly doing such things, as it had been at the beginning.
But if you have a brilliant plan, I will naturally have a way to overcome it.
The extremely shrewd Lu Lincheng appeared to be listening expressionlessly, but in reality, he was constantly calculating and weighing things in his mind. Seeing this, he simply added a casual remark:
"Elder Andrei is so selfless and thoughtful. I'm sure he already has a plan for dealing with the 'blockade' threat from Kassel College, right?"
You, Andrei, want to show off, don't you?
Fine, then he might as well go with the flow and throw this "hot potato" right in the other party's face.
Having said all that, Andre Lawson had no choice but to accept the offer, even if he didn't want to.
Upon hearing this, Lu Lincheng's supporters immediately showed joy and expressed their support.
"That's right. With Andrei's abilities, dealing with a small toothless tiger should be a piece of cake."
"That's right, that's right, I wholeheartedly support the leader's decision!"
"Could you please call in Constantine, the one who delivered the message? I have something important I'd like to ask him."
However, there were also dissenting voices, which sounded quite righteous and indignant.
All eyes turned to the person who had suddenly spoken, who was none other than Lu Lincheng's wife, Qiao Weini.
There was a reason she chose to speak at this time; however, speaking out before things were certain would not only be useless but could also have the opposite effect.
As the saying goes, men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs, but for Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini, the situation is completely the opposite.
Lu Lincheng was in charge of internal affairs in Nibelungen, while Jovini was busy with external matters.
For example, the choice of Constantine, an ordinary person, as the intermediary for external communications also had its influence, which is why Giovanni had a better grasp of the external situation than many of the people present.
In addition, given that most people are unaware of their relationship with Principal Angers, they would periodically exchange limited information with each other.
Putting aside her status as the leader's wife, Giovanni held a very high position within the Doomsday Faction, also serving as the Minister of the Equipment Department.
Because the Doomsday Faction split from the Secret Party, it was inevitably influenced by the Secret Party in the process of building its subsequent organizational structure.
Units like the action team and the equipment department are based on the functional divisions that were once used within the secret service and have been used ever since.
After the order was given, a flustered Constantine was soon led into the council chamber.
In an instant, the eyes of dozens of people focused on him, and the immense pressure made it hard for him to even breathe.
“Constantine, I have some questions I need to confirm with you.” A gentle tone came from Giovanni’s mouth.
"Please...please speak."
Constantine was trembling with fear, lest he utter a single wrong word and bring about his own death.
"You said the person who asked you to pass on a message to us was a young man named Cao Han, right?"
"Yes, I heard other people refer to him as 'Commissioner Cao Han'."
"In terms of appearance, is he an Asian man who wears glasses?"
"Yes."
"That should be correct."
After finishing her questioning, Giovanni let out a heavy sigh.
Realizing Cao Han's true identity, she inevitably felt a sense of unease deep down.
So, without Lu Lincheng even mentioning it, he took the initiative to bring up a question that everyone had selectively ignored.
"I think the most urgent task is not to discuss how to negotiate with Kassel College, but to send an action team to rescue your grandson as soon as possible."
wow——
Giovanni's words immediately caused an uproar. Even her closest husband looked at his wife with a slightly surprised expression, as if asking her what was going on.
However, her good intentions were heard as mockery by some people.
The meaning of "rescue" is quite obvious: it means that Julian Lawson's impulsive departure from Nibelungen to find the other party this time would be no match for him.
The saying "no one knows a son better than his father" can be interpreted differently in different contexts. In the current situation, Julian Lawson's father, Mills Lawson, who was very confident in his son's abilities, immediately retorted dismissively:
"He's just an executive officer. Even their top officer has fallen into our hands. His strength is just so-so."
I don't think Julian needs rescue. On the contrary, I think you should send your men out to warn the other side as soon as possible; maybe they can escape Julian's clutches.
Mills Lawson's words immediately drew a burst of laughter.
The laughter of these people was an expression of agreement with Mills Lawson's words.
In their view, Julian Lawson's abilities are beyond doubt, he is the undisputed leader of the younger generation, and also a strong contender for the future leader of the Doomsday faction.
Although his grandfather and father held high positions, they were unable to ascend to the throne of leader due to certain reasons that cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
The only younger player, Julian Lawson, has this opportunity.
Despite the distrust of the crowd, Giovanni showed no anger whatsoever, and even the gentle smile on her face remained unchanged, because she was such an extremely gentle person.
She has a Western face, yet possesses the delicacy and gentleness of an Easterner.
After the voices gradually subsided, he further explained, "Elder Andre, Brother Mills, I am making this suggestion to you very seriously."
Cao Han is different from the executive department specialist you are talking about.
Or let me put it this way...
From the limited information we obtained from Kassel College, Cao Han, although a freshman who had just enrolled a few months ago, had an unprecedented bloodline rating of S+ and had already achieved the remarkable feat of single-handedly killing a second-generation dragon.
Moreover, it was a second-generation species with a complete dragon body. At a height of ten thousand meters, with nowhere to gain leverage, it killed the second-generation species with a single strike.
Most importantly, Cao Han is very likely a rare dual-word spirit possessor. Although this information cannot be confirmed, he may possess the same word spirit as Angers, Time Zero, and the same type of speed-based word spirit, Momenta.
After speaking at length, Giovanni paused for a moment, taking a deep breath to give the others enough time to process the information.
“Elder Andrei, you must have had contact with Angers, so you should be well aware of the terrifying power of speed-type incantations in battles between hybrids. You wouldn’t want your grandson to meet with misfortune, would you?”
Giovanni had already used the most tactful language possible.
Given Julian Lawson's arrogant personality—he considered himself the boss, the second-in-command, and the third-in-command—he was a troublemaker who didn't even take the leader Lu Lincheng seriously. If he were to encounter Cao Han and angered him without any backbone, what would happen?
The result was...
boom!
Andrei, who had previously appeared calm and collected, could no longer remain seated. His cloudy eyes had vanished, replaced by dazzling golden pupils like the sun. He stared directly at Giovanni and asked, word by word:
"Giovini, you better not be lying to me!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the council chamber without waiting for anyone else to make a move.
As for where he went, anyone who isn't an idiot can see that he clearly accepted Giovanni's suggestion and went to the action team to "mobilize troops".
As expected, this time it will likely be the same as when Novsky and his men were ambushed on the way; the entire action team will be deployed.
Chapter 163 The living suffer more than the dead
into the night.
"Junior, the Execution Department has sent over some intelligence."
In this makeshift two-person team, Lucy Pallas played more of a logistical support role, such as organizing information and intelligence, and facilitating communication.
"Oh? What kind of intelligence?" Cao Han was slightly surprised.
I thought all I had to do was wait quietly for Principal Angers and the Doomsday Faction to successfully complete the mission.
Unexpectedly, another situation arose.
"The health department has tracked down the whereabouts of Executive Commissioners Lin Yang and Camilla."
"Where are the people?"
"The nearest town to Yekaterinburg is Irkutsk, about 300 kilometers away. According to the Executive Department's analysis, their destination will be Moscow," Lucy Pallas stated the intelligence report.
300 kilometers?
Even considering the speed of hybrids, these two probably left Yekaterinburg immediately after ending their final call with the executive branch, heading to Irkutsk, 300 kilometers away.
After a moment's thought, Cao Han pressed further, "Did the intelligence report mention what their purpose was in appearing there?"
Does our college have a resident representative there?
“Our school does not have a permanent representative there. According to the global list of representatives stationed there, that city should also be under the supervision of Anselm Valencia.”
Generally speaking, when the college's executive officers go on missions around the world, the local resident officers have an obligation to provide full assistance.
but......
The old adage, "Once a man is unfaithful, he will never be trusted again," has been passed down through generations.
The relationship between the North family and the Doomsday Faction raises serious questions about Anselm Valencia's loyalty to Kassel College.
Although there is no concrete evidence, Cao Han has reason to suspect that Anselm Valencia may have played a significant role in enabling Lin Yang and Camilla to disappear from Yekaterinburg so quickly.
However, he ultimately decided to leave the matter to the school to handle.
Remembering that Constantine had said it would take at least two days to get back news, and adhering to the principle of not bothering two people at once, and since he had nothing else to do anyway, Cao Han decided to make another trip.
