His words were extremely insulting and showed absolutely no mercy.
Principal Angers' fear stemmed largely from what his elders had told him about the terrifying Time Zero Word Spirit, a killer as elusive as a ghost.
What a coincidence!
Julian Lawson's Word of Power is also of the Swiftness type, and it has already reached the fifth level.
Without ever actually fighting, and only relying on hearsay, there's always a kind of "mysterious confidence" that one might not be inferior to Angers.
This time, however, he disregarded the rule that the Doomsday Faction could not easily leave Nibelungen and forcibly left. His so-called purpose was to use the prestige of Kassel College to prove himself and pave the way for gaining more influence within the Doomsday Faction.
Becoming a leader is no easy task; it requires a wide range of conditions.
Reputation is absolutely essential!
However, Julian Lawson was greatly disappointed by the strength displayed by Anselm Valencia. He hadn't even activated his Golden Eyes or used his Word of Power, and he defeated his opponent in just a few moves through close combat.
At this moment, he could only be trampled underfoot and humiliated like a dead fish.
This is also normal.
Since being assigned to Yekaterinburg as a resident commissioner, Anselm Valencia had become addicted to pleasure and neglected his exercise, in addition to the significant difference in bloodline between the two sides.
Unable to break free, he could only glare fiercely at Julian Lawson, threatening, "I admit I'm not as good as you! If you're so capable, then don't run away. Wait until Commissioner Cao Han returns, and then you'll see whether Kassel College is all talk and no action!"
Chapter 165 An Unexpected Encounter
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
Anselm Valencia, who had just finished making threats to Julian Lawson, was fully expecting that Cao Han and Lucy Pallas would soon arrive at Noster Manor.
however!
From day to night.
Not to mention Anselm Valencia, even Julian Lawson felt that his patience was about to run out, and a hint of barely concealed hostility flashed in his eyes as he looked at Anselm Valencia.
Will the person you mentioned actually show up?
Julian Lawson questioned sharply.
His decision to leave Nibelungen without any prior notice was, strictly speaking, a bit reckless. It might be understandable for a short time, but it would be difficult to justify if it went on for too long.
What neither Anselm Valencia nor Julian Lawson knew was that the person they were so eager to see had already driven away from the city early that morning.
They should be on their way back right now.
What's even more unbeknownst to them is that two groups are simultaneously rushing towards the same goal, and they might even meet halfway there...
meet by chance!
On the road from Irkutsk directly to Yekaterinburg.
In the speeding SUV, the driver must be Cao Han, the passenger is Lucy Pallas, and what's unusual is that there's a person and a corpse squeezed into the back seat.
At this moment, Lin Yang was holding Camilla in his arms with a sorrowful expression, completely unaware of the coldness emanating from her.
If you ignore the wound on her heart, she looks like a sleeping beauty under a spell.
"Commissioner Lin Yang, you should know the rules of the Execution Department. I need to ask you some more questions about the details."
Limited by circumstances, Lucy Pallas only had paper and a pen that she took out of her backpack.
This is an essential procedure. Even after Lin Yang returns to the academy, he will still have to undergo a second round of questioning. As the specialist who is carrying out the mission at this time, he still needs to provide additional details.
"Ask away," Lin Yang said directly.
Now that things have come to this, he has nothing left to hide.
Lucy Pallas thought for a moment: "Let's start with why you came here."
"The Executive Department may see me as the captain of this two-person team, but in reality, Camilla makes the decisions for each mission."
The same principle applied to my decision to come to Yekaterinburg this time; the tacit understanding built over many years led me to subconsciously choose to trust them.
"Could you tell me the specifics of the mission?"
"Prior to this, we were investigating a local gang in the Czech Republic, suspecting that they possessed some kind of alchemical equipment. Our mission was to investigate and recover the alchemical equipment."
The subsequent discovery was somewhat clichéd, or rather, quite deliberate.
That local gang was just a bunch of clueless fools who couldn't recognize the value of what they had. They packed it up and sold it to a passing unscrupulous merchant.
They followed the unscrupulous merchant's trail all the way here.
Looking back now...
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Lin Yang's face. He could have noticed the obvious signs of deliberate arrangement if he had paid close attention. If he had noticed it at the time, could he have avoided the series of events that followed?
Unfortunately, while everything in this world is available for sale, there's no medicine for regret!
"Love can indeed make people blind."
Cao Han, who was driving, suddenly spoke up and shared his thoughts.
at the same time.
Not far from them, a large convoy was also speeding across the snow.
At the very center of this convoy is a state-of-the-art special armored tactical vehicle, equipped with the world's most advanced tactical equipment, including all-weather radar monitoring, thermal imaging capture, short-range missile strike capability, and more...
Meanwhile, inside the spacious interior of the car, a heated argument was taking place.
“We are the Doomsday Faction’s action team, not Andre Lawson’s team alone. Why should we be mobilized so easily with just a word?” The most distinctive feature of the speaker was his thick mustache and his enormous physique, which resembled that of a small giant.
Even among hybrids, this is extremely rare.
In fact, this person has one-third "chicken-eating demon (Eskimo)" blood and one-third Viking blood.
Living in the extreme environment of the far north, the two races do not have much choice in their diet for survival. Hunting seals and whaling are their common traditional customs.
"An order is an order. We just need to execute it. We don't need to ask so many questions."
This time, it was a middle-aged man who spoke, his face as cold as ice that never melts, looking at everyone as if they owed him several small goals.
His centrally located seat indicates that he holds a high position within the team, and may even be the leader.
"The attack on the Kassel College team on Andre Lawson's orders was already a violation, and now they're doing it again."
"Hmph! Anyone who didn't know better would think that the leader of the doomsday faction was Andre Lawson."
"Both of you should say less."
"Exactly, it's good to get out and breathe some different air after spending so long in the Nibelungen."
"..."
Despite the arguments, no one in the team was worried about the mission they were about to carry out.
This was also thanks to the great confidence they gained from the previous attack on Novsky and his men.
and......
Every now and then, these people couldn't help but glance at a person wearing a black hooded cloak in the corner of the car, whose figure was completely shrouded in darkness and whose appearance was not visible at all.
This was their team's true trump card: a pure-blooded dragon in human form.
Drip, drop, drop——
Suddenly, a piercing alarm blared wildly inside the tactical vehicle, momentarily interrupting everyone's argument.
The man closest to them quickly snapped out of his daze and looked at the surveillance radar on the screen, discovering that there was another vehicle traveling at the same speed less than fifty kilometers away from them.
And judging from the direction they are heading, there is a high probability that we will encounter them.
If it were simply a vehicle traveling at high speed, the radar wouldn't emit such a piercing alarm sound even if it detected a target; it's more likely that more has been discovered.
"Wow! Judging from the heat emitted by their bodies, the people in that car are practically human mini suns!"
No wonder the man exclaimed in surprise.
At this very moment, the thermal imaging temperature detector was completely obscured by a bright red light, which is an extremely abnormal phenomenon in the icy and snowy Siberian region.
Even mixed-race individuals with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people could not generate such exaggerated heat.
"wrong!"
A hoarse voice came from the corner.
No one in the car needed to turn their heads to look; they could tell from the direction the voice came that the speaker was their trump card.
"The human body couldn't possibly emit such astonishing heat, so it's very likely..." After pausing for two or three seconds, he revealed the final answer, word by word: "...a dragon!"
"Like you, Murphy?"
"real or fake?"
"Are there any other hybrid organizations in Siberia with such power?"
"..."
Various exclamations and speculations came from the crowd.
At first, they may not have made the connection, but after Murphy's reminder, they belatedly realized it.
They had encountered similar situations where the body emitted astonishing heat before, and the culprit behind this was none other than Murphy.
Therefore, his judgment is quite plausible.
However, even the amount of heat emanating from Murphy that time was not as astonishing as what is currently displayed on the screen.
To put it more vividly, the person radiating this heat could potentially melt a large area of snow overnight with just a gentle breath.
"Is it possible that the speeding vehicle caused this?"
Some people still refused to believe it and proposed another possibility.
If the situation is truly as Malphite described, it means that the entity radiating astonishing heat is likely a pure-blooded dragon even more powerful than Malphite.
Being able to sit in a vehicle means that the dragons are currently in a human form, making it hard to imagine the earth-shattering power they would possess when they regain their dragon bodies.
These are all issues that their action team has to carefully consider.
If things go wrong, they might end up facing the other side head-on, and the final outcome could be unpredictable, with their lives hanging in the balance.
"Is it possible to avoid it?"
