"Perhaps. I have never met Chu Tianjiao. As you know, I am just a sword. No master would let a sword know too much."
"I am a humble servant," replied Mai Shude.
“Hmm,” Xia Mi nodded, neither saying “believe” nor “disbelieve,” an invisible pressure lingering on everyone.
At the crucial moment, it was Chu Tianjiao, this middle-aged man, who showed courage. His longing for his son and his feelings for him allowed him to ignore the Dragon Girl's oppressive aura.
He cautiously pleaded, "I've told you everything I know. Could you let me see my son? I want to see how he's doing after four years."
Seeing that everyone remained silent, he added, "Just one meeting is enough. I don't want my son to get involved."
Seeing Xia Mi throwing a tantrum, Wang Anzhi could only say, "Your son is already involved. He's now the president of the Lionheart Society?"
"Huh?" Chu Tianjiao was a little dumbfounded. He remembered that he had told his son not to go to Kassel College.
"Besides, I think he doesn't need you anymore. He has another father now," Wang Anzhi said meaningfully.
Chapter 82 True or False Father and Son
Mayo Clinic.
The name of this hospital, which has been ranked number one in the United States seven times in a row, now appears in this small town. However, it is quite normal, as this hospital is also just a fancy name and has no connection with the Mayo Clinic in the United States except for the name.
There are many such "high-quality replicas" in Shilan City, such as the Clock Tower and the Mayo Clinic.
Of course, this hospital is arguably the best private hospital in the city.
Chu Zihang sat on a stool in front of the hospital bed. His arm was also in a cast, a consequence of the excessive force he used when he swung his sword at Odin, resulting in a dislocated and fractured right hand.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he stared blankly at the middle-aged man on the bed who looked old. This was the appearance of his father, Chu Tianjiao.
Chen Motong glanced at Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi, who were peering into the room from outside the door. Somewhat surprised, she quietly walked out of the room, not wanting to disturb the Lionheart President's contemplation inside.
Standing outside the door, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Xia Mi lowered her voice and said, "Senior Sister Nuonuo, we heard that you were admitted to the hospital, so we brought some things to express our concern."
She held up and was carrying a bag full of fruit and similar items.
Chen Motong rubbed his forehead. "You guys found out really fast."
She didn't expect that someone would come to visit them today, just after she was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
"They said it in the Night Watchers community." Wang Anzhi tapped his phone and opened the website.
A message was prominently displayed at the top of the website.
Lionheart Club President Chu Zihang was seriously injured, and Student Council President's girlfriend Chen Motong stayed up all night to watch over him.
"Which bastard sent this?"
Chen Motong found it somewhat unbelievable; they had only been out of Nibelungen for less than a day, yet news had already been released.
Most importantly, she was relegated to a pitiful background role and the subject of a sex scandal, without any redeeming qualities.
"The poster is Flame Dragon Slayer, I think you should know who it is, Senior Sister!" Wang Anzhi put away her phone and looked at Chen Motong.
"So it was Fingel." Chen Motong said with a hint of helplessness. "But it seems only he could have done something like this. I just wonder how he knew about it from a thousand miles away?"
"Who is Fingel?" Xia Mi asked curiously.
"A bitch," Chen Motong said bitterly, wondering what Su Qian would think when she saw the message.
Her phone was out of battery, and after witnessing the legendary God King in person, she had no interest in charging it.
"Where is the principal?" Wang Anzhi asked again.
"You're too late. The principal left last night. He owns a private jet, so he doesn't care about this short journey," Chen Motong thought.
However, she was not surprised. People like Hilbert Jean Angers were born dragon slayers. Chen Motong believed that the principal must have already decided to return to Kassel College to analyze and track down the truth of the matter.
Wang Anzhi looked at the face in the ward that was exactly the same as Chu Tianjiao's, and his face darkened.
He now has Chu Tianjiao under his control, and after various examinations by Xia Mi, a dragon king, it has been confirmed that he is undoubtedly a hybrid, not some dragon king.
So who is this Chu Tianjiao in front of us?
Xia Mi grasped his hand, which was warm and smooth as water.
Wang Anzhi nodded, then looked at Chen Motong, somewhat embarrassed, "Senior Sister Nuonuo, I accidentally crashed your Ferrari."
Chen Motong didn't say much. Right now, she just wanted some peace and quiet, and Ferraris were not even on her radar.
She casually hummed in agreement. Well, if it's broken, it's broken!
Xia Mi then crept closer into the ward and asked in a low voice:
"Senior Sister Nuonuo, who is that person in the hospital bed?"
Chen Motong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Do you remember what we saw in the basement a few weeks ago?"
Both of them nodded before she continued, "He is Chu Zihang's father, Chu Tianjiao, and also the owner of that basement."
Looking at the loving father and son, Chu Zihang and Chu Tianjiao, on the sickbed, Wang Anzhi knew that Nuonuo and her group had also entered Nibelungen, but he didn't know what had happened to them inside.
So he continued to ask questions.
Chen Motong didn't hide anything; this matter was also extremely shocking to her—the legendary God King, the hero who slayed the dragon…
At that moment, she finally realized just how vast the gap was between herself and people like Angers and Chu Zihang.
In Chen Motong's account, they traveled by car through a torrential downpour into the Nibelungen, passing through numerous dead servants, and then saw Odin, the king of the gods, standing at the end of the viaduct.
Chu Zihang swung his sword and severed Odin's spear and mask, revealing Chu Tianjiao's figure beneath the mask.
Immediately afterwards, the puppet Odin collapsed to the ground, and Chu Zihang helped up this man who was his father in his eyes.
At this moment, Angers had just appeared. The old headmaster did not recognize this former student. All traces of Chu Tianjiao had long since disappeared from everyone's memory and computer files. The only place that remained was Chu Zihang's own brain.
Angers asked, "Who is this?" He looked at Chu Zihang's hesitant expression and had some guesses in his mind.
Sure enough, Chu Zihang said softly, "This is my father."
Angers knew that Chu Zihang's father was Chu Tianjiao, who was very likely also his student.
He didn't say much, but stared into thought as he looked at Chu Tianjiao's golden armor and the golden mask that had been split in two.
At this point, Chen Motong couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. She continued, "In the end, we walked out of Nibelungen. Chu Zihang carried his father on his back, and the principal was in charge of giving directions."
Then, Chen Motong couldn't help but feel a little strange. She said, "What's strange is that we didn't see any more of those Dead Servants after we left Nibelungen, even though there were still a lot of them on the elevated road."
Wang Anzhi looked at Xia Mi, and the girl smiled and stuck out her tongue.
Deadpool is a dangerous creature to humans and hybrids, but to dragons, especially the Dragon King, he is merely a puppet to be used.
After leaving Nibelungen, the penniless Miss Xia Mi unceremoniously packed up all the Dead Servants who had followed them all the way and took them with her. She then created a new Nibelungen within the original Nibelungen to hide these monsters.
Afterwards, Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi left after putting down the fruit. Chu Zihang was immersed in the joy of regaining his father and did not speak to them.
Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi dared not stay in the hospital any longer, as they both suspected that the person inside was not Chu Tianjiao, but "Odin" himself.
Chapter 83 Lu Mingfei's Background
After leaving Mayo Clinic, Wang Anzhi and Xia Mi returned to a basement, which was where they interrogated Chu Tianjiao and was also a stronghold of the orthodox Zhou family in this area.
Mai Shude remained obediently on guard, without making any unusual moves.
"Has Chu Tianjiao made any other moves?"
“No,” Mai Shude replied. “He’s paralyzed from head to toe and bound with alchemical chains. What trouble could he possibly be in?”
Then it was time for the three of them to take turns interrogating Chu Tianjiao.
When Chu Tianjiao explained to him that his son was guarding another "Chu Tianjiao" at the Mayo Clinic, the middle-aged man finally couldn't help but start cursing.
"What exactly is the purpose of that guy who impersonated me?"
"Who do you think could impersonate you?" Wang Anzhi took out a photo, which he had taken from the surveillance footage of Mayo Hospital, showing Chu Zihang holding Chu Tianjiao's hand.
“Odin?” he asked tentatively.
“It could be him,” Wang Anzhi said noncommittally, “but I don’t think He would show himself so easily.”
Xia Mi hesitated for a moment and said, "I think that might not be Odin. From beginning to end, the person who was playing tricks in Nibelungen was not Odin."
The Dragon Girl's words seemed to cleave Wang Anzhi's thoughts like a bolt of lightning. He looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked:
"If I remember correctly, Odin's legendary spear Gangnir has always been in the hands of the Secret Society, right?"
According to Wang Anzhi's recollection, the genuine Gangnir gun had always been in the hands of the Secret Service until Lu Mingfei's father used it to pierce Zero's chest in the frozen soil of Siberia in 1991.
From then on, "Zero" was in a state of half-life and half-death, and his body was used to create and sustain the Nibelungen.
Therefore, one cannot claim to be Odin simply because someone possesses the so-called "Gungnir".
Upon hearing Wang Anzhi's question, Chu Tianjiao nodded. "That's right. Gangnir had always been treasured by the Secret Party in an ice cellar until eighteen years ago when it was used to seal a monster, after which it was lost in Siberia."
Chu Tianjiao actually knew where the Gangnir and the so-called monster "Zero" were now.
Angers did not trust the so-called "Zero," even though he was tempted to believe that the Zero could help him achieve his dream of slaying dragons.
Because Angers realized that "Zero" himself wanted to kill the four monarchs, regardless of whether he agreed to cooperate or not, as long as enough conditions were created to put him in front of the four monarchs.
Then "Zero" would rush to slay the dragon.
The only thing that troubled him was how to suppress the rise of "Zero" itself.
Angers certainly guessed that "Zero" helped him slay the dragon not out of kindness or helplessness, but because he wanted to seize the power of the four monarchs.
Dragons are such a race, ascending to the throne by stepping on the corpses of their own kind.
Therefore, Angers chose to hand over Gangunil, along with the body of "Zero," to Lu Lincheng, and entrusted the vice principal's advisor to help Lu Lincheng create a new Nibelungen at the ruins of Black Swan Port in northern Siberia.
In exchange for this, Lu Lincheng gained the trust of the "Doomsday Faction" who were living in Russia, and became their leader, the legitimate "Chairman Lu".
From then on, Zero's body served as the pillar of Nibelungen in Black Swan Harbor. His power was constantly intertwined with Gangnir, the symbol of "death," like a "holy son" being nailed to a cross to sacrifice himself.
The difference is that Jesus sacrificed himself voluntarily, while "Zero" was forced to sacrifice himself.
As long as no one pulls out the Spear of Longinus, this demon can only remain in a state of being half-dead.
Meanwhile, Lu Mingfei, an infant born from two S-class hybrids, was born when Zero was completely imprisoned.
His father, Lu Lincheng, and mother, Qiao Weini, were the only survivors during the operation to eliminate "Zero".
