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

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the activation of the World-Destroying Word Spirit means that the Dragon King has appeared, and that Emiya is the super dragon-slaying hero who killed the Dragon King head-on.

It’s just that the secret party doesn’t want to take a bigger blame due to the current situation, so they refuse to admit it.

In the current situation, if anyone dares to touch Shirou Emiya, it is not impossible that the Shenzhou family led by Wa and the secret party will go into an all-out war.

"That's right, even if that 'Odin' isn't a true god."

Emiya nodded.

Chapter 69: Half-sister?

In Shirou Emiya's opinion, "Odin" is at the level of having only a part of the power of the gods, but the power he finally displayed is enough to be called a first-class servant.

In other words, the peak strength he unleashed also reached this level.

Is this strength enough to prevent the Clock Tower from taking any action?

Emiya thought about it and reviewed the performance of the Clock Tower several times.

In FGO's London singularity plot, the Clock Tower was soloed by two non-first-rate servants, Jack the Ripper and von Hohenheim Paracelsus.

In the FA world line, Danic of the Thousand Worlds Tree family declared rebellion against the Clock Tower (equivalent to declaring open war on the Clock Tower). The latter responded by sending a 50-man magician expedition team, which was then killed by Danic's servant Vlad III with a wave of his hand.

Hmm... that should be no problem. With this kind of strength, I can force the Clock Tower to cancel its seal just like Aozaki Touko did!

As long as he didn't provoke those top monsters, it seemed that there were few people in this world who could rival him. So there was no need to push his life too hard.

So what should we do next?

Seeing that Emiya's expression relaxed, Jude Mai breathed a sigh of relief. She had heard from Potato Chips before that the boss seemed to take Emiya's attitude very seriously.

It seems that not only this mission, but also future missions will inevitably involve dealing with Emiya. In this case, they can be considered as semi-long-term partners. Even if there is no boss's service requirements for treating big customers, it is natural to care about teammates.

"By the way, I used 'Illusion Break' to destroy those two weapons of yours. Is that really okay?"

Emiya changed the subject, referring to the "Budu Mitsuhime" and "Ame-no-Habezan" that Jutoku Mai had sent him during the battle.

"Well, that's a prop that the boss gave me when he issued the mission. Anyway, he said it's for you, Emiya-kun, so there's no need for you to be polite with us."

Jude Mai turned her head to look at him and blinked. "And if you join our team, you can have as many mission items as you want. With the boss's treatment, you will definitely not lose out. And with beautiful girls like us as your teammate, you can enjoy the best of both worlds - don't you agree, Sanwu?"

Sitting on a low stool, Zero was just silently counting the squares on the floor. After hearing what Jude Mai said, he raised his eyelids and replied slyly:

"If you want to have sex with Emiya, feel free to do so, but Wa will definitely kill you after that."

Puff! Jude Mai almost choked on her saliva because of this sentence. She hurriedly looked at Emiya beside her. His eyes were also full of shock, as if to say, "So this is the style of your team!"

"Hey, Sanwu, joking is fine, but it's not good to cause misunderstandings!"

Jude Mai quickly waved her hands, "Do I look like such a thirsty woman? I just saw that Emiya was so highly regarded, so I helped the boss win him over. Don't get angry at me for no reason!"

Then, Jude Mai explained to Emiya, "Don't think that Sanwu doesn't like to talk, but she actually has a talent for joking."

"Are you kidding?" Emiya looked at Zero with a frosty face, "Are you talking about that kind of cold joke?" The kind that can freeze people to death?

"Alas! If you spend enough time with Sanwu, you'll realize it's not that she doesn't like to talk—aside from serious matters, she'll occasionally throw in a few words. It's just that she likes to interrupt you while you're talking and poke a few jabs at you."

Oh! Emiya slapped his head and understood. Isn't this the hidden attribute of being evil?

"Without the boss's notice, we can't just casually recruit people into our team," Ling said, seemingly unable to tolerate Jiude Mai's framing of him. "It was you who wanted to recruit Chen Motong into the team last time, and it's you who tried again this time."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm wrong! You're the boss's little cotton-padded jacket, and I'm just a tool. If you don't have any, just go easy on me and let me go."

Jiude Mai raised his hands and gave a French military salute.

"Is the Chen Motong you are talking about the one in the single room inside?" Emiya was puzzled. He didn't have time to ask what was going on with the girl who was also arranged by Lord Wa.

"That's right, your half-sister!"

"Please, can you please not bring this up!"

"Then... half-sister! Hahaha - stop glaring. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Let's be serious. Chen Motong is our internal supporter in the Chen family. You are the main contributor to the fight against Young Master Odin, but she is the main contributor to making them lose their composure."

"But Young Master Emiya, don't call her Chen Motong. Just call her Nono. She hates or despises her family, so she obeyed us and did this. Now you know that the Chen family is not a good family. Chen Motong—ah, I mean Nono, is also a victim."

Emiya slowly stood up from the sofa, moved his head back, and leaned on the soft, wide armrest, pressing his temples to sort out his thoughts. "...I roughly understand. And then you just said that Nono is not convenient to accompany your team?"

"It's not inconvenient, it's impossible." Ling glanced to the other side and looked at the door of the single room deep inside, where Nono's bed was.

"The boss won't allow her to join us."

Combining with what Mai Jude just said about half-sister, Emiya roughly guessed what this was about.

"So, you arranged her to Lord Wa because you want her to find a new home? You mean to push her to..." Emiya pointed at himself.

Jude Mai crossed her arms.

"I didn't say that. Nuonuo isn't a mindless puppet. She'll follow whoever she wants. But I suspect, after learning about your exploits in the God-killing War, she'll most likely choose you—you're the hero who helped her avenge her—rather than the Zhou family, which bears some resemblance to the Chen family."

Jude Mai could see that it was not a long-term solution for Emiya to stay in the Zhou family.

While working for the Zhou family, he also accumulated his own strength. After the battle with Odin, Emiya's mentality finally changed.

What else can Wazhu offer to keep Emiya this time? Just her beauty? In Jude Mai's opinion, Emiya had already decisively refused to marry into the family, so it was a bit risky.

rustling.

The three of them suddenly heard a slight noise coming from Nuonuo's room.

"This girl is awake?" Jiude Mai was surprised. She turned to look at Ling, who had given Nono emergency treatment earlier, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't her injury very serious?"

Zero replied calmly, "She was injected with the serum."

"? Doesn't the locking agent suppress the effect?"

Zero shook his head, "I don't know... She's different. Her body has undergone unknown experimental adjustments, so perhaps she retains some of her characteristics."

Just as Jude Mai smacked her lips, not knowing how to comment, Emiya slowly moved his hands and feet, stood up and said:

"Let me go see her."

If the situation is really as Jiude Mai said, then I have to advise him that staying with him is not a good choice. It is better to choose to rely on the Zhou family. Relatively speaking, you can live a more stable life.

Chapter 70 "Hospitality"

Mai Shude and Zero watched as Emiya quietly walked into the inner room and the door closed.

The former quietly lowered his head and said, "Since Nuonuo has woken up, could he have heard everything we said?"

Zero was silent for a moment, then whispered softly, "...That would be better. It would allow her to realize the situation sooner. Emiya is the more suitable person for her."

----

A few hours later, when Ange got off the plane, he learned that Odin was dead and the incident was over.

...No, perhaps it should be said that it has just begun.

Ange knew full well the vastness of China, its rich and varied people, and its ancient descendants spread across a vast sea of ​​humanity. Over a century ago, he had befriended a distinguished figure from this land, his comrade Lu Shanyan, a heroic warrior who had died heroically in battle against the Dragon King.

There are probably countless such talents in China. Even among the students from the civilian class at Kassel Academy, a large proportion of them are of Chinese mixed-race.

Therefore, he never underestimated the aristocratic families. These ancient bloodline clans would only grow stronger. If the aristocratic families entrenched in this area truly stepped forward, the turbulent waves that would be unleashed were beyond his imagination.

Angé said goodbye to his own Gulfstream G550 and greeted Cheng Shuangfan, a young man in a suit and tie who looked tired and weathered, at the private helipad arranged by the secret party's Shenzhou branch.

In contrast, Angers, who was also wearing a black suit, a pair of shiny Italian leather shoes, and a red rose on his chest, was over 130 years old, with white hair but a light in his eyes. His whole demeanor was like that of a young man full of energy and vigor.

The two greeted each other and walked towards the arranged special car.

"Mr. Principal!" Cheng Shuangfan impatiently explained the situation to Ange:

"The aristocratic families are very tough. I think they'll use more tactics that we won't be able to deal with, creating an 'iron proof' situation..."

Ange reached out and gently patted the other person's shoulder, indicating that he should remain calm. "I'm aware of the relevant situation. The Shenzhou family has agreed to our request for negotiation. This at least shows that they are sending a good signal..."

At least their goal is not to completely break with the secret party, but to have some other interests.

Cheng Shuangfan, who was hit by a series of bad news, was not optimistic about this. He reached out and wiped his face to suppress his fatigue, then opened the car door for Ange himself.

The special car started and drove away quickly.

"The worst-case scenario is that the Shenzhou family has already taken control of every potentially valuable site within the park."

Ange raised his eyebrows. "Oh? You mean, those scenes where 'evidence' might be found?"

"Yes, Mr. Principal, this means that I'm afraid we have lost all our advantage."

"Advantage..." Angers' eyes were obscured by his drooping hair. He seemed to be pondering something. "I heard that the Shenzhou family holds the key testimony of Gattuso's people? Just that one person?"

Cheng Shuangfan answered fluently. He had personally negotiated that time. "Yes, according to the complete information we have collected, the Gattuso family was originally negotiating a marriage with the Chen family."

"But Gattuso sent a large group of bodyguards under the pretext of 'protecting the marriage prospect.' Then, a conflict suddenly broke out inside the Chen family manor, and Gattuso's men and the Chen family's men engaged in a fight."

"Add to that the sudden intervention of other noble families, and it became almost a three-way melee. Therefore, Gattuso, who was outnumbered, suffered the greatest losses."

Ange pondered the information and asked slowly, "Is that all?"

"No, because time is of the essence. This is the only credible intelligence we've gathered so far. Besides that, there are a large number of records of interactions and conflicts between aristocratic families, the authenticity of which is difficult to determine."

The Shenzhou branch was originally responsible for dragon-related incidents, and monitoring the aristocratic families was beyond their purview. This was difficult for them.

"Fight..." Angé understood and nodded. "Don't worry about it for now. Solving the problem of Gattuso's testimony is the key. I'll ask Frost to cooperate..."

"But sir, I also reported this to Professor Manstein at headquarters, and his response was that Frost had never responded."

"Don't worry. Frost isn't the kind of playboy who abandons his family and doesn't know the importance of anything. He holds his responsibilities as heavy as a mountain. I'm sure something has delayed him for a while."

As Ange said this, he dialed the number in Italy, and sure enough, Frost's voice came out soon.

"Anger? You're almost there, right?" Frost's voice was filled with fatigue.

This kind of fatigue was exactly the same as Cheng Shuangfan's, which surprised Angers. When he contacted Schneider in Kassel before, the other party also had the same helpless and tired tone.

This made Ange feel sad. It turned out that his old acquaintances had not had an easy time during this period.

"That's right. Frost, is it okay for you to refute the confession of the Shenzhou family? This concerns the reputation of the Gattuso family and the secret party."

"no problem."

As one of the school directors, Frost did not belong to the faction that supported Ange. His position should have been to always look for opportunities to pull Ange out of the position of principal, but at this point, he really had no intention of fighting with Ange.

...He felt like he was just a chess piece being manipulated by Gattuso and the elders.

"As the acting head of the family, I guarantee... accusations like 'participating in illegal experiments' are pure slander." He spoke with his voice squeezed out through gritted teeth.

"?"

Ange felt that Frost was not in a good mood, but pretended not to notice and smiled:

"Very good, Frost. Although we often have our differences, this time we are finally on the same page."

----

The negotiation took place at an old restaurant. Angers were no stranger to the drinking culture, and he happily went there after hearing the destination.

Cheng Shuangfan, who was worried, always felt that there would be no good banquet. He was worried and planned to call more people and equipment from the branch to set up a scout around the area, but Ange waved his hand to stop him:

"There's an old saying in China: 'A guest is a guest, and the guest should follow the host's wishes.' But if you're bringing weapons and deploying troops during social gatherings and negotiations, can you still be considered a guest?"

Ange took Cheng Shuangfan to the meeting alone with a relaxed demeanor.

Sure enough, Lord Wa had already brought a group of family heads from Shenzhou and sat down in a private room that had been specially cleared of people.

Surprisingly, there was no feast of delicacies, no music, no singing and dancing, not even tea. Wa and the others seemed unintentional in their willingness to warmly entertain this Western secret party leader who had come from afar.

"I've long heard that China is a country of etiquette," Ange said in pure Chinese, his cadence quite graceful. "I didn't expect that when entertaining guests these days, they adhere to the rule of keeping things simple."

"Ever since the Thirteen Hongs opened in Guangzhou, you've entered the country and taken away countless dragon blood treasures. And since modern times, a large number of China's talented people have joined the secret party... You've been treated so warmly, aren't you sated?"

The words of the Wa Lord froze Angé's smile.

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and more will be added when it is on the shelves
