"That Zhao Xuzhen shouldn't be able to catch up, right? Even if he parachuted after me, he shouldn't be able to make it in time, unless his parachute altitude is lower than mine..." Fujiwara Shinnosuke still couldn't understand what was wrong with Zhao Xuzhen that made him want to fight him to the death.
He felt as if Zhao Xuzhen had suddenly become a different person.
Suddenly, Fujiwara Shinnosuke heard what sounded like something cutting through the air above him.
He instinctively looked up and saw a figure rushing towards him like a cannonball.
The 'Zhao Xuzhen' was seen kicking his legs from time to time. When he kicked, it seemed as if there was an invisible wall that he could use to exert force, which made him rush down.
"Damn it! What do you want?!" Fujiwara Shinnosuke was genuinely terrified.
Zhao Xuzhen clearly didn't have a parachute. Was he going to kill him even if it meant death?
In the instant Fujiwara Shinnosuke was in a daze, 'Zhao Xuzhen' had already rushed in front of him and punched him from a distance.
The two were still more than ten meters apart, and Fujiwara Shinnosuke did not dodge the punch thrown from a distance.
So, he was punched from a distance.
This punch shattered his sternum, and the massive shockwave caused him to fall even faster!
This punch is the Evening Elephant!
Evening Elephant attacks enemies by striking the air with its super-fast, powerful fists, creating a continuous air cannon shaped like an elephant's foot.
Evening Elephant has five speeds, and even at speed one, its power is enough to blast a huge, deep well into the ground.
The punch that Gu Ran just threw was the fastest move, Evening Elephant, which shattered all of Fujiwara Shinnosuke's ribs!
Zhao Xuzhen has an excellent bloodline. After transforming into a dragon, his body became even stronger, and the dragon blood kept burning, giving him endless vitality.
His life force burned to its limit, and the power of the Eight Gates was also developed to its limit!
"Hehehe, if the first speed is this strong, what if it's the fifth speed..." Gu Ran didn't hesitate, pushed off with both legs, and caught up with Fujiwara Shinnosuke again.
At this moment, Shinnosuke Fujiwara began spitting blood from the corner of his mouth, with blood flying everywhere in the air.
That punch probably shattered his internal organs.
Then, Zhao Xuzhen still seemed to be angry and flew towards him again, throwing out his fist once more!
Just by seeing the fist being thrown, Fujiwara Shinnosuke could already feel the force of the attack coming towards him!
The next instant, the five-speed Evening Elephant directly hit his body. Fujiwara Shinnosuke had no way to avoid it in the air and took the full hit!
Every bone in his body was broken, his internal organs were ruptured, and his skin was completely damaged, as if it had been rubbed by a high-speed moving object.
Fujiwara Shinnosuke died quickly and painlessly; he was dead almost the instant the evening elephant landed on him, since his head had been blasted to pieces.
Gu Ran also noticed that Zhao Xuzhen's muscles were broken and his dragon bones were shattering piece by piece.
He was in a spirit state, so he couldn't actually feel much pain.
But Zhao Xuzhen's soul could sense all of this; he could feel his body's life force rapidly draining away!
Then his soul finally began to panic; he was about to die.
Ironically, he had no idea why he was like this, what had happened, or who could tell him?
"Goodbye, Zhao Xuzhen. Thank you for entrusting your body to me so I could try out the Eight Gates Formation. I didn't realize that the fully opened Eight Gates Formation was so powerful." Gu Ran's spirit used its dragon claws to rip open its own heart, then crushed it.
Then, the spirit left Zhao Xuzhen's body and returned to itself.
At this moment, Zhao Xuzhen's soul regained control of his body. He felt the life force draining from his body and was somewhat at a loss.
In the end, was death still inevitable?
But why did he die? He was indignant! He was indignant!
As his blood drained away, his life force was also exhausted. The dragon blood could no longer provide him with any energy, because all his energy had been drained by the Eight Gates Formation.
The dragon-like phenomenon on his body began to diminish, and he returned to being a human.
Finally, he closed his eyes in despair.
His body fell from a height of over 10,000 meters into the sea and slowly sank.
*……*……*……*
The next morning at eight o'clock, Gu Ran's door was being pounded on, preventing him from sleeping in.
"What are you doing? Shouldn't I be resting today?" Gu Ran yawned as she opened the door.
After opening the door, Susie was holding her phone, the camera pointed at his face: "Norma, do you see this? This is Gu Ran."
"Facial recognition passed, iris recognition passed, voiceprint recognition passed. The man's identity has been confirmed as Gu Ran, a third-year student at Kassel College and president of the Lionheart Society."
Gu Ran was taken aback when she heard Norma's voice, and complained, "Are you out of your mind? Knocking on my door so early in the morning just to prove that I am me?"
"I'm sorry, this was a task assigned to me by the Board of Trustees, and as an AI, I couldn't refuse," Norma said calmly. "However, the task is complete. You can go back to sleep. Sweet dreams!"
After saying that, Norma cut off the communication.
Gu Ran then looked at Su Xi.
"Don't look at me, I was also baffled to receive this task so early in the morning." Susie looked Gu Ran up and down. He was only wearing a pair of shorts, which revealed his muscular physique, making her blush slightly.
Gu Ran rubbed her eyes and yawned: "I'm going to take a nap."
"I'm taking a flight back to the China branch in a little while; it's at 11 a.m.," Susie said.
"Hey, wait!" Gu Ran suddenly perked up. He grabbed a coat and put it on, then pulled Susie in and said in a coquettish tone, "Don't leave so fast, senior sister. We just met, let's stay a few more days!"
Susie smiled and shook her head: "I still have a lot of work to do at the branch."
"Let's play for one more day, and then another day!" Gu Ran said, tugging at Su Xi's hand and acting coquettishly.
Susie saw through his thoughts: "You just want me to write your mission report, don't you?"
"How could that be? But your mission report is the most detailed, Senior Sister..."
"Alright, alright, you're the president now, stop acting all cute." Susie pushed Gu Ran back into the room. "I've already had Isabel write it for you. I've given her all the details about the outline and what shouldn't be included. She'll take care of finishing it for you."
"Long live Senior Sister! Wait a moment, I'll get dressed and wash up, then I'll take you to the airport!" Gu Ran took her clothes to the bathroom to change.
Susie leaned against the door and smiled, then helped Gu Ran tidy up the room.
Soon, Gu Ran brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed into the Kassel College uniform.
Susie was looking at her phone when she saw Gu Ran come out. She said, "At 5 a.m. Japanese time, a plane made an emergency landing at a port east of Iceland. The plane was originally supposed to land on a small island in the Pacific Ocean."
"Huh?" Gu Ran pretended to be deep in thought. "You mean, this plane is the one that escorted Zhao Xuzhen yesterday?"
“That’s right,” Susie said.
Gu Ran asked, "What does the executive department have to say? Logically speaking, if the plane deviates from its course, Norma should have noticed it immediately and issued a warning, right?"
Susie said, "Professor Schneider asked Norma the same question, but Norma said that the Board of Trustees has a confidentiality agreement, and the fact that the course deviation was not warned is a secret at the Board of Trustees level and will not be disclosed to the public."
"Anyway, it's none of our business, right?"
"Well, it's none of our business. After all, the mission has already been handed over."
"That's fine then, who cares!" Gu Ran said nonchalantly. "Come on, let's go to the food street and get something to eat, then I'll take you to the airport."
"Okay." Susie put down her phone, too lazy to care about anything else. "I want to eat takoyaki, I didn't have any yesterday!"
Chapter 607 Don't do things that are difficult!
Zhao Xuzhen's case ended in this anticlimactic manner.
Fujiwara Shinnosuke, a member of the Gattuso family, was killed by Zhao Xuzhen in the sky, and it seems that he himself also fell to his death in the sea.
In short, when the Temple of Solomon retrieved his body and performed an autopsy, they found that all the cells in his body had lost their vitality, as if they had been drained of all their energy before he died.
Based on the worldview of dragons, it is speculated that he must have been constantly burning his dragon blood during his life, and the dragon blood was constantly destroying his body, leading to the complete loss of his life force.
To the autopsy examiner's surprise, the dragon blood in his body also seemed to have lost its vitality. Although the cell tests showed that it contained dragon genes, the dragon genes were also dead.
This is very strange.
They couldn't find any reason.
The reason why Zhao Xuzhen and Fujiwara Shinnosuke fought is also puzzling.
One member of the Gattuso family also died, and it was necessary to find out the cause.
However, all investigations were conducted in secret, and only the Gattuso family and the Solomon Temple knew the details.
The plane has a black box, and there are also surveillance cameras in the cabin, which can show the conversation between Zhao Xuzhen and Fujiwara Shinnosuke. Moreover, after the plane made an emergency landing, all the crew members were still alive and can serve as witnesses.
The two were chatting amicably at first, but after Fujiwara Shinnosuke touched the flight attendant, Zhao Xuzhen seemed to become a different person and started fighting Fujiwara Shinnosuke to the death.
Could it be that Zhao Xuzhen was really traumatized?
Perhaps, in the end, we can only come to this conclusion: after all, people of mixed races are not very mentally sound, and they often cause trouble and create problems out of nothing. If we have to explain it, it is plausible.
In short, both sides accepted the outcome and swallowed the bitter pill.
The most severely affected group was the Solomon Temple, which not only lost $1001 billion to Gu Ran, but also lost a prized stallion.
That was a stallion that had accumulated the best genes for dozens of generations; its death was a truly devastating loss.
There were other losses, but they are not worth mentioning.
……
Kassel College remained silent on the matter, but the Gattuso family was held accountable by the board of directors, and the executive department also wrote a letter of complaint and protest. After all, Fujiwara Shinnosuke was someone they sent out, and they should give an explanation.
The Gattuso family, however, argued that this was Fujiwara Shinnosuke's personal act and had nothing to do with their family.
Similarly, the Solomon Temple also stated that everything Zhao Xuzhen had done was a personal act and had nothing to do with their Temple.
The Temple will resolutely uphold the Abrahamic blood pact, fight against all dragons, and never associate with them...
In short, it's about sacrificing pawns to save the chariot. Since the dead cannot be brought back to life, the goal is to minimize losses, otherwise, the world will be your enemy.
Because the Secret Society lacked conclusive evidence, and given the current critical situation, with the Dragon King awakened and unwilling to wage war against a powerful family like the Solomon Temple, they accepted their explanation and temporarily ceased pursuing their responsibilities.
In this series of events, the biggest beneficiary was Gu Ran. He got his revenge, he got his money, and most importantly, no one suspected him. Perfect!
No one could have guessed that he had the ability to take someone's head from a thousand miles away, and do so silently.
So he stayed far away in the East, doing simple tasks every day, only returning to the school once a month to handle the daily affairs of the Lionheart Society.
