The salty sea breeze ruffled the silver hair in Hilbert Jean Angers's hair. He gazed at the endless sea, but his heart did not open up as he wished.
Because the memories of his dead body are attacking him...
The biggest trigger for the split within the Secret Party into the Doomsday Faction was the incident known as "Summer Mourning".
The tragic death of Peruvian leader Cassel Menek during the "Summer Mourning" incident dealt a heavy blow to the party, leaving it leaderless and in a predicament.
The Secret Service with Kassel Menek and the Secret Service without Kassel Menek were like two completely different hybrid organizations.
At first, it might not seem like a big deal, but as time goes by, people's hearts always become restless.
A second voice began to emerge within the Secret Party, and differing ideologies led to internal struggles and conflicts.
This struggle and conflict greatly affected the overall combat effectiveness of the Secret Party, making their fight against the Dragon Clan even more difficult.
The two factions, holding different ideologies, eventually split up. Those who stood firmly on the cause of slaying the dragon remained in the Secret Party, while the small group who believed they could not win the war against the dragons chose to leave.
These few who left gradually developed into the current doomsday faction.
It wasn't until later, when Angers transformed his grief and hatred into strength, and began to demonstrate his power and talent, gradually becoming the new leader of the Secret Party, that he finally managed to reunite the Secret Party's forces.
It was also under his intimidating power as the "Dragon Slayer" and "Time Zero Killer" that, in accordance with Kassel Menek's dying wish, he forcefully pushed for the reorganization of the Secret Party into the Kassel College we know today.
In fact!
Anselm Valencia was right when he said that the Doomsday Party was once part of the Secret Society!
Shortly after the split, the two sides enjoyed a brief "honeymoon period," maintaining contact from time to time and collaborating on certain areas and projects.
until......
After the Doomsday Faction collaborated with a certain troublesome Dragon King to eliminate the little devil Lu Mingze, they completed an unprecedented feat for hybrid races after a long period of in-depth research—
Artificial Nibelungen!
It should be noted that the Nibelungs were exclusively for the Dragon Kings, and the actions of the Doomsday Faction can be described as mortals trying to rival the gods!
Having acquired such an excellent "turtle shell," the Doomsday Faction immediately hid inside, gradually maintaining only the last vestige of contact with Kassel College.
Of course, the artificial Nibelungen still has its flaws. It was created based on the dragon body of the little devil Lu Mingze who was nailed to the World Tree. In other words, the Doomsday Faction only had the right to use it, while the ownership was always in the hands of that dragon corpse, that is, the little devil Lu Mingze.
The last connection between them lies in Angers.
He has a close relationship with the current leaders of the Doomsday Faction, namely Lu Mingfei's father Lu Lincheng and mother Qiao Weini.
Angers, a man of meticulous nature, noticed Cao Han's sudden phone call mentioning the "Doomsday Faction," and the fact that Siberia was the region where the Doomsday Faction's Nibelungen entrance was located...
"Was the disappearance of Novsky and the others the work of the Doomsday Faction?"
"That's the information I've gathered so far."
Cao Han then proceeded to tell the other party, without any concealment, the entire detailed process from his arrival in Yekaterinburg.
As our ancestors often said, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows."
He wasn't interested in the doomsday prophecy, but he was worried that things might turn out differently than expected.
After killing everyone, they suddenly say that the Doomsday Faction is a force that the Secret Society intentionally preserved.
Similar scenarios are commonplace in apocalyptic movies, such as building Noah's Ark from a massive flood, digging underground bunkers in heavy snow, and even the option of the wandering Earth when the sun goes out...
It is entirely understandable that the Secret Service would have similar thoughts.
After a moment of contemplation, Angers said, "You said the Noster family is the representative force of the Doomsday Faction in the outside world, right? Have you asked them if they can find a way to contact them?"
"Hold on."
The old saying "old people are wise" was indeed true. Cao Han hadn't thought things through so thoroughly and overlooked this point.
Since the Noster family is the representative force of the Doomsday Faction in the outside world, there should be a stable way of communication between the two sides.
Otherwise, what if someone stubbornly attacks the Noster family?
We can't wait until the Doomsday Faction emerges from the Nibelungen tortoise shell only to find out they've already been wiped out, can we?
"Kruba Noster, I ask, you answer, understand?"
After saying this, Cao Han restrained his vast, ethereal aura, allowing his opponent to regain control of his body.
However, Kruba Noster looked extremely disheveled at the moment. Underneath his thick clothes were his underwear, which was already soaked with sweat. Faced with Cao Han's undeniable and aggressive demeanor, he had no intention of resisting.
"I see."
"Are you able to contact the Doomsday Faction?" Cao Han didn't waste any words.
“No,” Kruba Noster hurriedly shook his head.
"but……"
Cao Han was about to pick up his phone again to report the situation to Principal Angers when, in the next second, Kruba Noster suddenly said "But".
"Do you know that talking while panting can kill people?"
Kruba Nost was completely baffled as to what Cao Han was trying to say. As a native Russian, his English was only so-so, and when Cao Han translated his Chinese into English, there were bound to be some slight misunderstandings.
"Huh? I am breathing."
"Shut up, just say what you were going to say."
"Although I can't contact the Doomsday Faction, we do have an intermediary between us and them. As far as I know, this person can contact them at any time."
Good guy!
A real-life version of the Russian matryoshka doll?
Layer upon layer, the doomsday faction is afraid of being discovered to have connections with the outside world, right? They're really determined to hide in Nibelungen for the rest of their lives, aren't they?
"What's the name of the middleman you mentioned?"
"do not know."
"I don't know!?" Cao Han's voice rose two decibels.
He was even starting to doubt whether the North family was actually a representative force of the Doomsday Faction placed in the outside world, because the family in front of him gave him the feeling that they knew nothing about anything.
“He called himself David, but there are at least four Davids out of ten people in the West, so it seems to me more like he just made it up on the spot,” Croba Noster explained.
If that's the case, then it's barely plausible.
"Then contact them now and tell them to come to the manor immediately."
Kruba Noster's eyes darted upwards, glancing at Cao Han's expression before cautiously saying, "That guy is extremely careful in his actions. We've only met a handful of times over the years."
We will only meet when necessary, and the location will be chosen by the other party.
Hard!
The fist is hard!
Not to mention Cao Han, even Lucy Pallas, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but roll her eyes after hearing this, and even wanted to ask if the other party was a fake head of the Noster family.
They have no status or dignity whatsoever, and they do whatever others tell them to do. Even a loyal dog has its moments when it wants to go out and throw a tantrum.
Kruba Noster gave an awkward smile. He knew that what he had done was a bit embarrassing, but the entire Noster family was dependent on others.
Moreover, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his choice.
The terrifying power that the Doomsday Faction had displayed before him was like a bucket of cold water poured over Croba Nost's head, extinguishing not only his ambition that hadn't yet been ignited.
"Then contact them. It doesn't matter if they choose the location. Just don't tell me you can't do it again. If you can't, then you're no longer of any use to me!"
Cao Han's attitude this time was extremely tough, and the threat was all too obvious.
What we often say has no practical value is...
It's garbage!
Trash should be ruthlessly swept into the trash can!
"Yes, yes, I'll contact them right now." Kruba Noster wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, but felt a sense of relief.
Before Cao Han picked up his phone to report the matter to Principal Angers again, he quietly gave Lucy Pallas a look.
The unspoken understanding between the two made the latter immediately realize that she was to keep a close eye on Croba Noster's every move.
Despite Cao Han's constant internal assessment of his senior as "a complete weakling," she was worlds apart from the pot-bellied Croba Noster.
It is truly remarkable that a mixed-race person can grow to such a large size, given their physique and digestive abilities.
As for Anselm Valencia, there's no need to worry. If he's sensible, he won't do anything that could be misunderstood at this time.
"Principal Angers, are you sure your influence will work with the Doomsday Faction?" Cao Han raised a reasonable doubt.
If, as Principal Angers claims, he has some connection with the leader of the Doomsday Faction, would the other party be capable of secretly attacking Novsky and stealing the discoveries from the White Emperor City ruins?
I'm afraid that the so-called kinship is nothing but a facade in the face of huge profits!
What is Baidi City?
That is the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire, and it is also the real Nibelungen, the Nibelungen that the Doomsday faction most covets and wants to possess!
The artificial Nibelungen has a limited internal area, which was more than enough for the doomsday prophet group at the beginning of its development. However, as it has continued to develop, the internal population has increased exponentially, and now it is almost reaching its capacity limit.
Therefore, when "Little Underwear" revealed the existence of the core bronze disc of the White Emperor City ruins, she did not hesitate to launch a full-scale attack on Novsky and his group.
After going around in circles, the problem has unknowingly returned to its starting point!
Angers: ......
Angers felt an urge to hang up the phone; he was still very confident in his reputation and his relationship with Lu Lincheng.
Moreover, he still has a last resort, a "trump card" that he has to resort to when he has no other choice.
The reason it's described as a last resort is because this killer move is a little bit... immoral.
To be honest, if he had told Cao Han that the leaders of the Doomsday Faction were Lu Lincheng and his wife, Cao Han would have quickly guessed that the so-called trump card was most likely their son, Lu Mingfei.
"I have that much confidence. You just need to find a way to contact the leader of the Doomsday Faction, and leave the rest to me. You don't need to worry about it too much."
Or perhaps there's something more important that needs you next.
As he spoke, Principal Angers' tone suddenly changed, becoming extremely serious and solemn.
"Principal, you mean... Leviathan?"
"Looks like Fingel already told you beforehand."
"Yes."
