Dragon Raja: History Simulator

Chen Motong also felt bored and stopped talking.

After walking for quite a while, Xia Mi finally couldn't help but speak up.

They got out of the Ferrari and then parted ways with Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen at the fork in the road. They had already walked quite a distance, and the only problem was that they were getting further and further away from the Regent Hotel and Chen Motong's Ferrari. This left even the Dragon King, who could barely be considered a local, somewhat at a loss for words.

"Senior brother, where do you want to go? Do you want me to show you the way?" Xia Mi looked at Wang Anzhi, somewhat curious about his destination.

"Just taking a casual stroll," Wang Anzhi replied, without giving a direct answer.

"Senior brother, you seemed a little melancholy after seeing the S-rank!" Xia Mi asked again. "Yes, I was just feeling that the gears of fate had moved forward another step."

“Get the Riddler out of Gotham,” Xia Mi replied irritably.

The gears of fate?

Who?

Lu Mingfei.

Even she, the Dragon King, couldn't recognize him. Someone who didn't seem familiar was probably just a minor character in ancient times. Not to mention, Xia Mi clearly sensed that Lu Mingfei was just a hybrid, not a dragon.

Chen Motong was also walking on the side, but he ignored the bickering between his two junior brothers and sisters.

She seemed a little dazed. Before actually meeting Chen Wenwen, she couldn't be sure if Chen Wenwen would really like Lu Mingfei and make the S-class student in the academy give up his career for it.

But after meeting her, she was certain that Chen Wenwen had no affection for Lu Mingfei whatsoever. Perhaps she should be relieved, since this way Lu Mingfei would naturally enter the academy according to her wishes.

Hello everyone, she completed her mission, the academy has an S-rank student, and Lu Mingfei will meet a girl in Kassel who is even better than Chen Wenwen. It's a win-win situation.

Only that loser named Lu Mingfei died in the shadows, while the S-class star among the freshmen of Kassel College was reborn from the ashes.

"Nono." Chen Motong suddenly heard a very familiar voice calling her name. She came to her senses and saw a familiar figure standing next to her. "Chu Zihang, what are you doing here?"

Nono was somewhat surprised, wondering why the president of the Lionheart Society was also in such a small place.

Chapter 16 Chu Tianjiao, Full of Mysteries

"This is my hometown," Chu Zihang said casually, glossing over the question. He then looked at Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi, asking them, "New students?"

Wang Anzhi was both surprised and unsurprised by Chu Zihang's arrival; it was both unexpected and reasonable, because not far away stood three gray-white buildings with the flashy name "Huanya Group" written on them.

“Wang Anzhi, a freshman in the preparatory class at Kassel College,” he said, then pointed to the girl beside him, “Xia Mi.”

Chu Zihang nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

How did you get here?

Chu Zihang had reason to be surprised. This was an industrial park on the outskirts of the city. Although Shilan High School was nearby, he rarely saw anyone there. If it weren't for the fact that this was his father's last residence before his death, even Chu Zihang wouldn't have remembered that there was such a desolate place near the prestigious Shilan High School.

Sometimes, Chu Zihang even wondered if his father chose to drive for that boss here because it was so close to Shilan High School, where he attended.

Chu Tianjiao had no body, no grave, and after his death, no one even offered him a word of comfort or a bouquet of flowers.

Chu Zihang himself didn't know where to offer a sacrifice for his father. He couldn't find Odin, nor could he find the long-vanished Zero Viaduct. He could only come here from time to time to reminisce about his father's past, telling him that his mother had been drinking heavily lately, but her health was still good. In the end, his son didn't listen to him and went to Kassel College...

Thus, he offered a sacrifice to his father.

Chen Motong looked at Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi, and Xia Mi looked at Wang Anzhi.

Just now, Chen Motong was reminiscing about her attitude towards Lu Mingfei, and Xia Mi didn't even think about where they were going. Both of them were following Wang Anzhi.

Seeing the two people's actions, Chu Zihang was also stunned for a moment, and slowly looked at Wang Anzhi.

Wang Anzhi pointed to the building next to him, "Senior Brother Chu, do you know who the former owner of this building was?"

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question before. He always thought that his father just used this place as a place to hide his identity and did not think that the boss behind the scenes would have any secrets related to the dragon clan.

This has been proven by the fact that the factory, which boasted of becoming the number one special metal base in Asia, was basically shut down not long ago, and even the owner could not be found.

Fortunately, the boss had a conscience and paid all the wages he owed to his workers before running away.

As for the bank debt, there's nothing we can do about it.

Chu Zihang returned to his hometown to pay respects to his father, Chu Tianjiao, almost four years earlier, at the same time as he had just become the president of the Lionheart Society.

He also witnessed how the factory went from prosperity to decline and then to complete bankruptcy in just a few days. Just yesterday, a bankruptcy liquidation team was formed. It's unclear how they plan to clean up this mess.

Speaking of which, the Huanya Group was established nine years ago at the turn of the new millennium, which can be considered a landmark moment. However, it went bankrupt not long ago, to be precise, on the day of the 9-day countdown to the college entrance examination this year.

That day, the streets were filled with advertisements, and even his mother, Su Xiaoyan, sent him a text message about it.

In addition, Chu Zihang remembered that his father had once pointed to the Maybach and boasted to him that there were three people in the world whose voices could start that car: one was the boss, one was Chu Tianjiao himself, and the other was himself.

He had never paid attention to this "boss" before, but upon closer reflection, he suddenly realized that Chu Tianjiao, who was a driver for the boss, was actually doing nothing all day long, and that he was holding something that even Odin coveted, yet he remained in this small town.

Chu Zihang didn't recall Chu Tianjiao ever leaving this place, or even about the future. He even chose to divorce his mother, which would be normal for an ordinary person, but it seemed a bit unusual for a dragon-slaying elite.

Seeing Chu Zihang deep in thought, Wang Anzhi smiled and said, "As far as I know, the boss of Huanya Group has almost never shown his face, whether in public or private. He didn't even appear when he went to the bank to get a loan to open a company. You can't even find the boss's name."

Chu Zihang suddenly realized that this was not in accordance with the procedure. The boss of a normal company should at least show up. In fact, in that era, it was not uncommon for people to appear in the newspaper from time to time. How could there be no photo or even a name?

However, if we connect it to the Dragon Clan, it makes perfect sense. What secrets does this "boss" hold? Why must he erase all traces of himself? And what role does his father, Chu Tianjiao, who works as the boss's driver, play in all of this?

There was no trace of his father at Kassel College, and the principal of Angers frankly told him that he had never met anyone named Chu Tianjiao. So, could it be that his father was related to this boss?

Chu Zihang was eager to know more about his father.

To this day, he doesn't even know Chu Tianjiao's past, his purpose in coming here, or even... he doesn't know if his age is real or fake, since mixed-race people always appear young.

Apart from the long sword he swung at the god Odin before his death, it can be said that Chu Zihang, the last person to remember him, knew nothing about him.

Chu Zihang lives in a lie created by Chu Tianjiao, and knows nothing about anything except the lie itself.

Chen Motong couldn't help but become curious. She glanced at Chu Zihang, whose hands were trembling for some reason, and wondered why he had suddenly become so excited. This was clearly a common scam using the power of the dragons. Then she looked at Wang Anzhi, who seemed completely unperturbed, and her curiosity was piqued even more.

"Junior brother, how did you know?"

"I noticed it by chance."

Wang Anzhi said casually.

Originally, his plan was that investigating the "Boss" and the connections behind "Odin" only required him and Xia Mi. Chen Motong and Chu Zihang were unexpected bonuses. Chen Motong carried the secret Odin was seeking, serving as bait, while Chu Zihang carried Odin's mark, acting as the key to Nibelungen. Both of them occupied crucial positions in the "Boss's" "script."

Wang Anzhi could not allow such danger to linger outside of him and Xia Mi without his knowledge, even if doing so might be even more dangerous.

In the dim light, a hint of the golden eyes unique to dragons and madness flashed in his black pupils.

Xia Mi grabbed Wang Anzhi's arm, her face showing disgust, "Senior brother, you're lying again."

Chapter 17 The Dust of History

Wang Anzhi looked down at Xia Mi, who was pouting and grabbing his arm, and said earnestly:

"I never lie."

"Senior brother, you're the best liar." Xia Mi snorted twice, but her gaze turned to Chu Zihang, whose body was trembling more and more and was even about to lose his balance. She was slightly surprised. She hadn't noticed that this young Lionheart Society president actually had Odin's mark on him.

She had attended Shilan Secondary School for a period of time as a cover for her identity and as a means of investigation.

At that time, this small town exuded the aura of the Black King's blood. This sweet scent traveled from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean almost instantly, as if the ancient emperor were once again reigning supreme, mocking those who had betrayed him.

All the resurrected ancient dragons once again recalled the emperor's majesty from their long-sealed memories.

The cowards hesitated, while the crowned had no choice.

Almost as soon as she sensed this aura, Xia Mi—no, Jormungandr—suppressed the fear in her bones and resolutely came to this small town, wanting to investigate the truth behind it.

The scent of the Black King dissipated completely in less than a month. Jormungandr knew that the final spoils had been quietly taken away, either by her brothers or other behind-the-scenes manipulators.

This small town is no longer of any value.

But at least, perhaps it can be confirmed that the Black King has not awakened, Jormungandr thought with a glimmer of hope.

Whoever took the spoils, he would have to face the Black King's resurgence, and Jormungandr was even more fortunate.

Aside from that, the only thing she noticed was that Odin had established a Nibelungen here at that time.

Odin was the only one of her brothers who did not fall into a deep sleep after being hunted down, and Jormungandr was very wary of him.

She wasn't sure if Odin would be the final victor, but she was absolutely certain that this place was now under Odin's "watchful eye."

After that, she didn't dare to stay there any longer, but she also didn't dare to leave suddenly and unusually. She delayed for another three or four months, behaving like a real student, before obediently waiting until September to skip a grade and go to the preparatory class of Peking University.

There, I met another person.

Xia Mi glanced at Wang Anzhi.

At this moment, Chu Zihang looked at Wang Anzhi with great seriousness, "Junior brother, what other information do you know about that boss? I want to know everything."

After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice, "If you have any requests, I will do my best to help you."

Chen Motong's eyes widened. The promise made by the Lionheart Society president was extremely weighty. Judging from Chu Zihang's tone, she had no doubt that if Wang Anzhi said he wanted to betray the academy, Chu Zihang would not hesitate much.

Wang Anzhi didn't pay much attention to Chu Shixiong's "precious" promise; his main purpose was to disrupt the situation and fish in troubled waters.

"Nine years ago, when Huanya Group was founded, the company's boss had a driver by his side. The so-called boss almost never showed up; it was always this driver who appeared..."

He glanced at Chu Zihang, and as expected, Senior Brother Chu tried his best to purse his lips, but his panting never stopped. He asked in a hoarse voice, "And then?"

"Four years ago, the driver disappeared without a trace, and the boss also disappeared without a trace, never showing his face. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific Group itself began to show signs of bankruptcy."

Wang Anzhi emphasized: "Four years ago, the Asia Pacific Group had already prepared to transfer assets, end up in bankruptcy, and transfer the assets overseas as capital to start anew."

After a pause, Wang Anzhi added:

"You should know that during the heyday of the Asia Pacific Group, which was five years before the new millennium, it was no less powerful than the current Black Prince Group or any other company. Its claim to build Asia's number one special metal base was not just empty talk; otherwise, the banks would not have lent them so much money."

As he spoke, Wang Anzhi sighed, recalling the two trillion yuan from his previous life: "Banks only lend to those who don't need money."

Xia Mi's lips twitched slightly. "Senior brother, you've gone astray."

Wang Anzhi then went on to summarize, "The decline and eventual bankruptcy of the Huanya Group occurred gradually and deliberately over the past four years."

Chu Zihang's throat felt sore, as if blood was about to seep out. "You mean, that driver is the boss?"

This time it was Wang Anzhi's turn to be stunned. He quickly shook his head, "No, the boss is someone else, and it has nothing to do with the driver, but the two people have an extremely close relationship."

According to Wang Anzhi's conjecture, Chu Tianjiao was sent by the secret party to "guard" something, and the "boss," or rather the little devil using Lu Mingfei's body, was the object of his guarding.

During this process, Chu Tianjiao unexpectedly obtained something extremely important: the box that Odin had specifically set his sights on.

The reason he was able to obtain this item was probably related to the "boss," but Odin soon set his sights on him.

Of all the Dragon Kings, only the King of the Sky and the King of the Wind has never been hunted in history, whether it was the little devil nailed to the cross, namely Lu Mingze, or Xia Mi who has been sleeping for a long time, or Norton who has been sleeping for a long time.
