Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 457: Elimination of the Times

Beowulf stared at the words on the screen. This email left him speechless.

It was easier to be the captain of the action team as before. This crappy temporary principal is pure torture. He has to scheme against all the major families and also consider the matter of slaying the dragon.

These families treated him like a scapegoat, coming to him for help with everything, big or small, even family matters.

What's wrong with the Chen family? A person who has nothing to do with the college asked the college to deal with it, arguing that the incident happened in Chicago and the target was also in Chicago.

Chen Bailing, Beowulf has never heard of this name.

The email described this person as extremely dangerous, and he had wiped out several teams of the Chen family alone, the most recent of which was today.

An elite team of the Chen family was ordered to arrest Chen Bailing at the airport, but then lost contact and was suspected to have been killed by Chen Bailing.

It's an elite team. In Beowulf's opinion, these family members are all useless, each one is weaker than the other.

If you can’t beat them, ask the academy for help.

Beowulf also knew that in this extraordinary period, if he refused the Chen family's request, he might be criticized, and there was a high probability that these families would not even put in the effort to show their support and would not cooperate. After all, Beowulf did not say anything when the family needed help.

Moreover, the email also mentioned that Chen Bailing's target had been Caesar, and his appearance in Chicago this time was most likely for the college, intending to take Caesar away by force.

Just when I was feeling upset, the notification tone of incoming emails rang again.

Beowulf roughly guessed who it was from, and when he opened it, it was indeed from Pompeii, the stud.

Regarding Chen Bailing's matter, Gattuso also hopes that the academy can make some response, or at least send a team to ensure the safety of the academy.

Beowulf really didn't believe that an A-level half-blood would dare to come to the academy and do whatever he wanted. Well, just send a team.

The Chen family was smart. They used the fact that Chen Motong and Chen Bailing had a good relationship and specified that Chen Motong must be in the team.

It is estimated that Chen Motong will not come back after leaving the academy, so all these families want to bring back the children who were trained in the academy.

"What do you think about this matter?" Beowulf suddenly asked.

"Me?" A voice came from the darkness. A figure stood up in the corner and took a big gulp from the bottle. "What can we do? You decide. Other families have taken their young people back home. Only Caesar and Chen Motong are special. What can we do? It's not that we don't speak up, but these two guys are too rebellious and don't want to return to the family at all."

"I see. So you mean to do them a favor and follow their request?"

"That's not what I said. You made the decision, and you take the blame if something goes wrong. The old rogue never asks me when he makes a decision."

"I was the captain of a task force, not the president of any country," Beowulf said.

"I'm a technician, not a political strategist." The black shadow spread his hands to express his helplessness.

"So we need to discuss this now, Ange is not here!"

"I see. You mean two cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang."

"I remember it was the Three Stooges..." Beowulf rarely showed a sense of humor that was inconsistent with his appearance.

"The problem is that there are only two of us, and the two of us together are as good as one Angers." The black shadow emphasized.

Beowulf nodded, "That's what I mean, but we are still better than cobblers."

"Well now, a cobbler like me thinks that we should just send Nono out, and Caesar should stay in the academy with him. When I went to Japan, I knew that Chen Bailing was planning to kidnap Caesar. That Chen Bailing is a lunatic. Just send Nono to lead the team and try to let Nono convince him. If he can't be convinced, just chase him away. There is no need to interfere with the Chen family and help them clean up their house. The purpose of the academy's existence is to slay the dragon." said the black shadow.

"I've read the information. Do you think Chen Bailing can threaten Caesar?" Beowulf was a little surprised. "The information shows that although that guy is A-level, he is not much different from an ordinary person. His bloodline is just a tool to maintain his life and cannot provide any power. He relies on a suit of armor to fight against the hybrids. It is not clear whether it is an alchemical creation or something else."

"It's a pity. The child once wrote to me, wanting to learn alchemy from me." The black shadow said regretfully.

"Didn't you agree?" Beowulf asked.

"To be precise, the Chen family didn't want me to accept the child. I didn't care at first. You know, I hate being involved with these families, so the matter was left unresolved in the end." The shadow said, "It was also the Chen family's own problem. The child mentioned some ideas in the letter to me, which are very feasible. Theoretically speaking, even if he can't become an expert in alchemy, he can still be a good scientist."

"Then why doesn't the Chen family spend time and effort to cultivate it?"

"I don't know. I heard from Nuonuo that Chen Bailing's father made some mistakes. The son has to pay for the father's debts. And guys who don't have the ability of a mixed-blood are no different from trash in the eyes of the Chen family."

Beowulf snorted coldly: "It's what the Chen family deserves. It's their own fault for pushing such a good person to the opposite side."

"That's not what I meant. You're just being hindsight." The black shadow shook his head. "It's only because Chen Bailing has achieved something now that it seems like the Chen family's original actions were foolish. There have been too many geniuses buried in history. Chen Bailing is considered lucky. Before I inherited the surname Flamel, my alchemy skills were not that good. It was only because of my fighting skills that I was able to develop in the future."

"You mean when you were a cowboy in the West? Don't you think that your bloodline would have made you a qualified dragon slayer even if you didn't study alchemy?"

"So for my students after me, those researchers in the ice cellar, I never asked them to be good at fighting. Before that, the hybrid world had too high requirements for research talents. Doing research was just a by-product, and going to the battlefield was the main job." said the black shadow.

"There's no other way. The combination of science and alchemy has only appeared in the past hundred years. The conditions were not available before. Now we just need to lock the location of the dragon's nest. Once we confirm that it is far away from the city, we can directly cover it with firepower." Beowulf sighed at the changes of the times.

"You're right. It's nothing like the old days when we rode horses with old-fashioned muskets and searched for dragon nests everywhere." The black shadow agreed.

"When I was young, I never touched a musket, I relied entirely on cold weapons," said Beowulf.

"That's because your family is too stubborn. Viscount Charlotte already had flintlocks and revolvers at that time, but your Dragonblood family is still using the old ways. If you can't keep up with the times, you will naturally be eliminated. Just look at what the four old dragon-slaying families have become." The shadow was silent for a while after he finished speaking, and then his tone calmed down and he said, "Sorry, I said too much."

"It's okay, you're telling the truth." Beowulf didn't care. "But you'd better not mention Viscount Charlotte in front of Angers."

"I definitely won't tell it in front of him." The black shadow naturally knew this.
