They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

"...?"

Frost's confusion turned into speechlessness after a few minutes.

A sky-blue parachute dropped from the sky, carrying a blond man in a skydiving jumpsuit, who made an unexpected appearance.

...It would have been better if the other party had not landed on the balcony and the parachute had not accidentally bent some delicate and precious plants.

"Hi, brother! Long time no see!" Pompey rushed in from the balcony with enthusiasm, dragging the damn parachute behind him, like a sky blue rag that made the room a mess.

"...I believe you've read my grand vision, haven't you? Honestly, I truly believe that something as grand as protecting human civilization is far superior to our crappy and expensive 'Project Divine Punishment'."

"Think about your family's situation. The Gattuso family has had a rough time within the secret party lately. The four elder families have been targeting us frequently. Why bother creating a Sky Punishment satellite weapon and intimidating others at this time?"

Pompey's mouth was full of words, like a machine gun. "But my Chaldea plan is different..."

"So you've even been concerned about your family's situation?!"

Frost laughed a little angrily. "So your suggestion is to simply surrender to those elders and then use your ridiculous Chaldea plan to beg for cooperation and achieve a win-win peace situation for everyone? What would we gain from that?"

Pompey spoke loudly in the room with a dramatic intonation:

"You know, after experiencing so many events, defending against future crises will be the consensus of global powers. What humanity needs is to abandon the narrow interests of the present and look to the future. What we need is cooperation, not competition, harmony, not confrontation! The Chaldea I propose..."

"That's enough! You care about the future of humanity, you're amazing!"

Frost was a little angry. "And I can only stay at the family or the secret party board meeting every day, arguing with all kinds of people like a penny-pinching woman at the vegetable market, or arguing with them on the way, for fear that the family will lose money outside!"

"Pompeii, you have no idea how hard it is to run a household, or the struggles of maintaining a massive family business... You're saying the Chaldea Plan will change the situation. Do you think a mere playboy can shoulder the entire Gattuso family? You only think about yourself!"

"...Hey, my dear brother! What did I do to make you so disrespectful to me that you don't even want to call me brother!" Pompey was sprayed in the face, but he still did not show the slightest anger.

"Although we haven't interacted much in recent years, we're still brothers after all. Can you at least give me a chance? Honestly, I'm serious about my plan for Chaldea this time. What do I have to do to get you to agree? Or are you hiding something, brother? As long as I can help you, I'm willing to do anything."

Frost glanced at him in surprise, then his voice suddenly dropped. He was undeterred by Pompey's promise of help. "No, you can't! Pompey, you have no idea how dark the Gattuso family is!"

"You know what? The pressure our family is under right now stems from the Chen family's demise in Shenzhou. The elders' behavior at the time was very strange. And later I discovered something amiss. They're suspected to be involved in the YAMAL incident. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to investigate, nor do I dare to do so openly..."

"Huh? So you need information about the elders? That's easy. Come to me. I can tell you a little trick to uncover their secrets!"

Frost's eyes widened, "Wha... no, how did you know?"

"Hahaha, of course it's because I'm the head of the family," Pompey's tone suddenly became provocative. "Even though I don't spend much time at home, the elders have given me more authority than you."

Pompey also lowered his voice, "The elders, and their subordinates, have a weakness: daytime!"

"What do you mean? They are more relaxed during the day?" Frost thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? People usually increase their vigilance and defense level at night. Wouldn't it be conspicuous if they take action in broad daylight?

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with other factors. Daytime is the obvious weakness!"

Frost listened to Pompey's hint and thought frantically. At a certain moment, his eyes shifted to the table. A piece of news about suspected vampires attacking villages at night in various parts of Europe caught his attention.

Night, vampire... Day, weakness...

----

London, Britain. A light drizzle falls under an overcast sky.

Emiya did not get the rest he had expected during these few days.

According to the passenger list of the YAMAL, after the memories of the surviving ordinary people were processed, most of the survivors were dismissed, completely forgetting the doomsday experience that was more terrifying than a nightmare.

Before leaving, they expressed their gratitude to Emiya and others, thinking that they had just encountered an ordinary shipwreck and were lucky enough to be rescued by Emiya.

As for Su Xiaoqiang and others, they followed Emiya to London, the headquarters of the Clock Tower.

"Hello again, Lord Snowdon."

An energetic old English gentleman came forward with a smile on his face.

"Oh my! The victor of the Holy Grail War, the godslayer, the slayer of the Supreme Being, the savior of the YAMAL, has graced our humble abode with your presence. What a great honor..."

"Let's forget the polite words, okay? Besides, didn't you already know my whereabouts?"

Emiya looked at Charlotte who appeared with Sir Snowdon.

The little girl looked at him with a complicated expression, as if she was observing an increasingly perverted non-human. She seemed to be considering whether she should give up chasing this wall-hanger.

When Emiya had been fighting and even conquering the Dragon King before, he already felt that hope was slim. Now he is killing gods and defeating the Black King... I heard that it is just an incomplete spiritual body, but no matter how you look at it, it is outrageous!

Miss Charlotte's eyes were filled with three parts of resentment, five parts of fear, and two parts of confusion... She was probably wondering why Emiya came here and specifically asked her to come here. Was he planning to step on her a few times when he passed by?

Hahaha, in that case, Emiya has chosen the wrong person. Stepping on her... stepping on her... is like stepping on cotton!

"This is just making conversation."

Snowden tapped his cane. "Come here, Miss Charlotte, our Clock Tower prodigy. It's rare to see someone you know, so come and chat. I'm older, so I think you young people will be able to get along better."

Charlotte stepped forward, trying to maintain her graceful steps. Emiya looked at her like a monstrous demon king, intent on destroying the world.

Afterwards, Snowdon stepped aside and turned away.

"Mr. Snowdon, don't forget about the 'Spirit Tomb'." Emiya said to the old man's back.

"Of course, we can discuss this deal anytime, just arrange a time that suits you."

Chapter 289 The Strongest Tomb Clan Capitalist in History

"Spiritual tomb?"

Charlotte still didn't know that the Black King's remains had appeared in Britain.

After Emiya and others worked together to defeat the light body, the event collection phenomenon caused by the light body was restored, and the world returned to its original appearance. The remains of the Black King's body were covered by the restored surface and pressed deep into the ground.

The other families knew almost nothing about the process of Emiya defeating the corpse of the Black King. After all, compared to the Battle of the Light Bodies which had many witnesses, the bleaching phenomenon had already occurred when the corpse of the Black King emerged from the hatchery. Apart from the group that was transferred to Avalon, very few people had the ability and conditions to observe it.

"Yes, I'm here for business. I need to discuss matters concerning the spirit tomb of Nidhogg with the local forces here."

"What does this have to do with me?" Charlotte asked curiously.

"No, I'm looking for you for something else."

Emiya looked behind him and saw Su Xiaoqiang, who had been following closely behind him. She nodded knowingly at Emiya and then walked towards him without any hesitation. The girl with mixed Eastern and Western features immediately caught Charlotte's attention.

The girl's black outfit had some characteristics of a church nun's uniform, but she did not look like a cautious and obedient nun at all. Her bright eyes looked around without hesitation, curious about this college building that was completely hidden near the clock tower, a famous tourist attraction in London.

"She is Su Xiaoqiang, an apprentice agent of the Holy Church. I hope you can help take care of her while she is studying at the academy."

After the subjugation of the Light Body, Emiya had a brief exchange with Su Xiaoqiang. For some reason, compared to her cousin Marianna who was content with the status quo of having the identity of the Holy Church, Su Xiaoqiang was full of stubbornness to go deeper into this dangerous world.

Maybe it's because of the difference in personality, this girl prefers to work hard and face challenges head-on.

In short, according to Xia Mi's observation report, Su Xiaoqiang performed well in the doomsday event, and Wei Gong decided to give him a chance, which is equivalent to an advance investment.

This is similar to the contractual relationship signed with Xia Mi through the blood alliance. If Su Xiaoqiang demonstrates excellent abilities during her studies in the Clock Tower, then Emiya will also consider incorporating her into this contractual system.

It has to be said that this contract model still has great development potential.

Emiya had recently carefully considered the contract between him and Shami, as well as the contract between Helver and Orluen, his two maids. He found that it was similar to the master-servant contract of the Holy Grail War, a contract agreement and a simplified organizational model that he unilaterally controlled.

Even such a simple contract has a convenient function that cannot be ignored, which is that it can ensure the establishment of a relationship of absolute trust and no betrayal.

This exactly fits Emiya's need to cultivate some trusted confidants in the future.

Su Xiaoqiang is the target he has chosen for the future.

"From the Holy Church?"

Charlotte was naturally aware that this organization did not have a friendly relationship with the Clock Tower. Would Mr. Snowdon, the dean, agree to such behavior?

"Don't worry, I've already informed him. Su Xiaoqiang will have his file transferred to the Clock Tower in the form of a 'dispatch' and will study here in the future," said Emiya.

This point was also agreed upon by Su Xiaoqiang's maternal family, the Santos family - although they already had connections with the Holy Church, they never had too many connections and were eager to have more!

"Oh, old man, you're fine with that! Fine, since it's your request, Emiya, I'll just reluctantly agree to it!"

Charlotte said this with a seemingly indifferent look, and just observed Su Xiaoqiang's appearance briefly before no longer looking at her.

Humph, just an apprentice agent...

He sounded like a guy who had just started training. Compared with an experienced magician like himself who had personally experienced the Holy Grail War, he was far inferior to him.

I guess she came out of nowhere and seduced Emiya with her beauty, so she took the opportunity to ask Emiya for such a rare opportunity.

Well, the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself.

If she could teach him well, it was Charlotte's fault. If she couldn't, it was because he wasn't good enough, so she should look for her own reasons. She had nothing to lose, so it was like Qin Shi Huang touching the electric switch—she won.

"...?"

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly felt inexplicably unhappy. Without changing his expression, he tilted his head and looked at Charlotte. This petite, pretentious blonde girl across from him seemed to be the "senior sister" that Emiya had designated for her. She smiled. She was a child, but she had quite a bit of arrogance.

Su Xiaoqiang keenly sensed the arrogance and prejudice emanating from Charlotte... Perhaps she thought a rookie like him would hinder her studies, but out of respect for Emiya, he had no choice but to agree in person...

Haha, she is just a spoiled aristocratic lady. I guess she cannot understand the horrific doomsday atmosphere of the YAMAL incident. The so-called academic genius will show his true colors once he arrives on the battlefield.

Su Xiaoqiang had seen many so-called mixed-blood young talents on the cruise ship, driven to mental breakdowns by unusual events, their performance even worse than his own, who had just encountered the "other world". This girl was probably not much better.

Like Charlotte, she secretly suspected that the other was a "loser".

But their expressions remained unchanged and they greeted each other in a warm atmosphere.

"We have a long way to go, please give me your guidance."

After a perfunctory greeting, Charlotte stopped paying attention to the matter. "By the way, Emiya, you haven't told me about the tomb yet. What exactly is it? Are you hiding it and not willing to tell me?"

Emiya could see Charlotte's contempt for Su Xiaoqiang, but he didn't say much.

Anyway, Emiya had seen Su Xiaoqiang's talent and hard work some time ago, and the result of Charlotte looking down on her was nothing but getting slapped in the face.

"The Tomb of Nidhogg is a living mine, especially for you, it's an immense repository of materials for practicing magic. If you measure it from a business perspective, even the little bit of stuff inside would be priceless if left outside."

"Wow!" Charlotte was obviously surprised. "Wait, you said you wanted to discuss business with the Clock Tower. Could it be the Tomb of the Dead—"

"Yes, I am the owner of the spirit tomb Nidhogg," Emiya admitted it straightforwardly. After all, it was he who defeated the Black King. If he wanted to determine the final ownership of the corpse, no one in the world would dare to openly oppose it.

Charlotte was subconsciously surprised.

The legacy of the Black King's corpse is a priceless treasure in the eyes of all those in the world who know the secrets of the Dragon Clan, and Emiya directly possesses ownership, which is equivalent to becoming the richest man in the world who owns the most expensive real estate!

"I intend to use this opportunity to establish an independent agency to cooperate with your Clock Tower to unify the management and excavation of the spirit tomb. I will allow you to send magicians to dig for the precious materials within, but the prerequisite is that you register as excavators with the agency I establish and become a member of my mining department. In other words, you will work for me."

Emiya briefly revealed his idea. This information was not important anyway, as his words would become reality in a few days at the ceremony of the establishment of the organization.

"This agency is called the Bureau of Secret Anatomy."

----

Two days later, north of Charing Cross Road, a long distance away from the London clock tower, was a square that had been cleared in advance.

Su Enxi, who had hurried over from the plane, was wearing sunglasses. Her Jimmy Choo high heels stepped tightly on the puddles on the street that had not yet evaporated. When she walked to the square, she glanced around. When she saw a cluster of conspicuous red hair, her eyes lit up and she moved over to sit nearby.

"Hello, Mr. Emiya, I'm sorry I'm late. I've been a bit busy lately." Su Enxi said with a smile.

She was considered a business agent hired by Emiya.

In London, aside from Su Enxi's businesses, family-owned businesses like Snowdon practically dominate the business landscape. As for the Snake Family, their overseas businesses are either in Southeast Asia or scattered across Europe and America. For Emiya, Su Enxi, with whom he has formed numerous alliances, is one of the few reliable options.

Su Enxi was somewhat flattered by Emiya's trust. She was known as the accounting maid under the mysterious boss Lu Mingze, but unlike the two thugs Jude Mai and Ling, she was essentially in a cooperative relationship with the boss, managing his business.

So, whoever she collaborated with wasn't a partner? Working for Emiya was just another boss; it was a familiar mode of survival for her. And being Emiya's hero, wow, gave her a sense of security.

Besides, Lu Mingze once joked that if he was gone in the future, Enxi, you could just go away and make money for yourself, or switch to a new boss.

Su Enxi was still a little unsure of the boss's truth, but since the Holy Grail War, the boss hadn't used the campaign funds for a long time, and his instructions to her were almost like passing on messages. After the recent YAMAL incident, the boss even mentioned the possibility of him being gone in the future...

This made Su Enxi vaguely feel that her boss would suddenly leave one day.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the organizational structure of the Secret Anatomy Bureau?"

Emiya noticed that Su Enxi's expression was a little strange.

"...As for the organizational plan, I have no problem with it. I can provide you with the basic personnel and office buildings."

Emiya raised his eyebrows. "Ready-made? Are you sure? The best location for the Secret Corpse Dissection Bureau is right above the Spirit Tomb."

"Yes, it's right above," Su Enxi pointed to a cylindrical mirrored building on the other side of the square. "Look, I've already bought this lot."

"A whole lot? Land in London isn't cheap, that's quite generous."

"That's just the beginning!" Su Enxi waved her hands quickly. "No one could be more generous than you. Appointing me to manage the development of the Black King's corpse legacy for you! Even being the behind-the-scenes boss of the Federal Reserve wouldn't be as good as this!"

"Stop bragging and tell me if there's anything you need to add. We have a meeting with the Snowdon families later."

"My first suggestion is to crack down on smuggling," Su Enxi knew that the Hunters online was full of desperate criminals. Something like the Black King's Legacy, with a profit of 1,000%, was enough to make people forget the risk of death.

"Also, the tools for excavation and exploration must be provided by us. Finally, we will establish a department to study the Black King's corpse. We can invite researchers who specialize in using dragon materials to join us..."
