Dragon Clan: Restart your life

2011, summer night, clear, Chicago harbor.

"Sir, please show me your invitation letter." The waiter smiled and gently knocked on the window.

The car window slowly lowered, and a young, slender, muscular hand handed out a dark red invitation.

"Welcome, Mr. Xia Zihang and Ms. Chu Mi, please go this way." The waiter stepped aside respectfully.

The car door opened, and the first person to get out of the car was a handsome man wearing a black tuxedo and sunglasses. He walked out of the car expressionlessly, and then extended his hand into the car.

A cream-skinned hand gently rested on his palm. The slender heels stuck out of the car door and stepped on the ground. The calves stretched out in graceful arcs. The white backless dress perfectly outlined the woman's figure, except for some There are almost no flaws on the outside, especially the veiled face, which is looming and reveals the mysterious beauty of the East.

The woman took the man's strong arm and began to board the ship under the guidance of the waiter.

This is a huge cruise ship with bright lights and people coming and going on the cruise ship. It is obvious that many distinguished guests have boarded the ship.

The two walked onto the cruise ship, and a waiter wearing white gloves waited for them for a long time.

"Sir, please show me your identification again."

personal I.D? The invitation letter has obviously been given to the waiter below...

The woman grabbed the man's arm and exerted slight force.

The man was silent for a moment, then slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of golden eyes.

The golden eyes of Guao and Senran seemed to pierce the air, and the majesty flowing in them made the waiter's expression change slightly. This was the person with the noblest bloodline he had seen tonight.

"Please come this way, Mr. Xia, it is our honor for you and Ms. Chu to come." The waiter turned sideways and extended his hand respectfully.

The second check itself is to detect whether the visitor is of mixed race.

The man put on his sunglasses again, held the woman's hand, walked forward expressionlessly, and stepped into the core area of ​​the cruise ship.

The second floor of the cruise ship is a casino, filled with air-conditioning, and the aroma of whiskey and perfume are mixed. Almost all the dealers are tall and well-built white women wearing high heels. The waiters are walking through the crowd, carrying cups Whiskey glass...

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, what should we do next?" The woman raised her bright wrist and whispered to the communicator hidden in the bracelet. At the same time, the bright wrist also covered her mouth.

The man beside him tilted his head slightly. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly with his sunglasses on, his silence was enough to show that he was speechless.

He held the woman's hand and walked towards the stairs leading to the third floor.

"Stop playing with your props, I'm right by your side. This cruise ship has nine floors in total, five of which are luxury cabins, the second floor is the casino, the third and fourth floors are the lounges, and the fifth floor is the location of the auction. "Chu Zihang whispered, "Are you interested in gambling?"

"Stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs!" Xia Mi stood firm, "Hey, but don't you think this feels like a Hollywood spy movie?"

"Then let's go to the lounge and wait. There are at least two hours until the auction starts. The auction won't start until the cruise ship sails into the high seas."

"We don't collect intelligence?"

"Collecting information?"

"Yes, yes, you see there are so many mixed races here, let's investigate them all and catch them all!" Xia Mi secretly shook his fist.

"...The secret party is not the FBI, and hybrids are not drug lords." Chu Zihang tried to explain, "We never regard ourselves as law enforcers, we just try our best to protect the secrets of the Dragon Clan from spreading in the human world. At this point, all hybrids The forces are all the same. If a certain hybrid or hybrid force commits an unforgivable thing, not only the secret party, but all hybrids will take action to eliminate it and reduce the influence to the minimum, thereby reducing the impact on the entire hybrid group. The impact caused. Anyone who causes potential harm to the mixed-race world, no matter who it is, will face the hostility of the entire mixed-race world."

Xia Mi tilted his head and asked curiously: "Why are the secrets of the Guardian Dragon Clan consistent in the mixed-race field? I have been curious about this before."

While they were talking, they had arrived at the lounge on the third floor. After asking the attendant to get the room card, the two of them arrived at a luxurious room.

"This issue is very complicated. I have thought about it and asked Professor Schneider and Principal Angers." Chu Zihang said slowly, "A large number of hybrids are here to enjoy exclusive power."

"Exclusive power?"

"Yes, some hybrids think that we are a species that is superior to ordinary humans. We are far better than humans. We also master speech and alchemy. More importantly, we also understand science. We control the wealth of both dragons and humans. , so we can easily step into the upper echelons of society." Chu Zihang said softly, "But this matter cannot be announced."

He hesitated and continued, "If this matter is announced to the public, it will directly lead to the separation between hybrids and ordinary humans. No one will want to have a creature that is born better than themselves, whether it is a hybrid, Still human."

Xia Mi took off her veil, fanned the wind with her little hands, and hummed: "I understand, the mixed-blood race to wipe out the dragon clan is actually to wipe out the monarchs of the old era so that they can ascend the throne of the new era? But for humans, In other words, the mixed race is the new dragon race. How the mixed race wiped out the dragon race, humans will deal with the mixed race."

"Yes, the vast majority of mixed-race species know the terror of the dragons. Once the dragons return, ancient humans will have no ability to resist. If the human world collapses and falls, the hybrids will also lose their foundation at the top. This is the most direct contradiction between the two sides. ."

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Mixed race and human race may not have the same irreconcilable contradictions as dragon race and mixed race race, but in this era of declining monarchy, the concept of 'everyone is equal' has long been rooted in the thinking of modern humans. And an ethnic group that is born to be superior to the rest of the world in all aspects will naturally attract jealousy and criticism. There is a saying in China that 'people who are not of my ethnic group must have different minds.'"

"Everyone is equal?" Xia Mi asked curiously, "Has this statement really taken root in the thinking of the human world?"

"It's far from being realized, but at least it has become mainstream. No one dares to deny this in public, otherwise it will lead to a frenzy of public opinion." Chu Zihang said calmly, "I have a senior who is studying sociology. He said that actually Many people understand that the word 'equality' cannot be truly realized no matter where it is. Many people are aware of the hierarchy that exists on the dark side of society, but the reason why the dark side is the dark side is because it can never get sunlight. Come down and discuss, this is the characteristic of this era.”

"It's clear, but you don't accept it?"

"You can say that." Chu Zihang hesitated, shook his head and said, "It's very complicated and cannot be summarized in a few words. If you are interested in understanding it, I will introduce my senior brother to you next time."

"Senior brother, do you think ordinary humans, after learning the secrets of the dragons, will fight against hybrids just like hybrids fight against dragons?" Xia Mi asked softly.

"Actually, what we are really worried about are the politicians and capitalists who hold power." Chu Zihang whispered, "They are the ones who control social resources and stand at the top. Once these people know the secrets of the Dragon Clan, they will inevitably Intervene and mobilize all forces to seize the dragon clan's heritage. No matter how strong the mixed-race forces are, they are far from being able to compete with the violent group based on the country. In this regard, the vast majority of mixed-race species choose to integrate."

"assimilate into?"

"Just like the Sheqi Eight Families, they are rooted in the trunk of the big tree of Japan and become closely and inseparable from the entire country. They are not monarchs but are better than monarchs. That's why the heads of the Sheqi Eight Families have the Shadow Emperor. name. It’s a symbiotic relationship.”

Xia Mi continued: "Are you worried that once the secret of the hybrid is exposed, this symbiotic relationship will end?"

"Yes, human society may be able to accept the existence of individuals who possess extraordinary power, but it is impossible to accept a group that transmits extraordinary power through blood." Chu Zihang said seriously,

"Especially the national government. For them, stability is the first priority, and a transcendent ethnic group means class imbalance."

"Even if the government won't take action at first due to the power we have, in the next ten years or a hundred years, this relationship will be gradually divided. This is what some families are worried about."

"Even if they are powerful enough to influence the economic rise and fall of a country, they don't want to bet on uncertainty. They just need to monopolize the secrets of the dragon clan and rely on this power to influence the human world just like they did in the past thousands of years. Just be in a high position.”

"To give another inappropriate example, you have the ability to travel freely for a week. With this ability, you can easily accumulate huge wealth by buying and selling lottery tickets, stocks, etc. In this case, you will tell others this secret. Isn’t it? You don’t know how. Making a fortune silently is the right choice. Even in order to continue this kind of life, you will eliminate all the people who stand in your way.”

Xia Mi thoughtfully said: "For hybrids, dragons are the most likely and easiest beings to pull them down from the top of the human world. After that, there are those who are ordinary humans but have the ability to control Leaders who hold great power in the country, and plutocrats who control the lifeblood of the economy.”

"Yes."

"What about the Secret Party?" Xia Mi tilted his head, "The Secret Party is the opposite idealistic warrior? Fighting bloody battles with the Dragon Clan in order to protect world peace?"

Chu Zihang smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Before Chu Zihang could speak, a cold and hoarse voice came from their headphones.

That was the voice of Executive Director Schneider. He officially entered the channel, which meant that the mission was about to begin.

"Sorry, I didn't intentionally eavesdrop on your conversation." Schneider said calmly, "Classmate Xia Mi, I regret to tell you that some people in the secret party are actually the first type. They regard dragon slaying as a business."

"Business?" Xia Mi was stunned.

"Hate can't actually last for several generations, but the war between the secret party and the dragons has lasted for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, we have many allies, some of whom never end, but they have provided us with generous benefits. Financial support, the price is to share the glory and dragon wealth with us after the war." Schneider whispered, "This is the dragon slaying business."

Xia Mi was silent for a moment and said: "What about the remaining people? Ideal warriors?"

"Ideal warrior? Don't call him such a nice name. He is just an avenger. Hatred cannot last for several generations, but the first generation must be deeply rooted in the bones."

"That's right..." Xia Mi said softly, "Which one has the majority among the secret parties?"

"The majority are neither the first nor the second type of Avengers just mentioned."

Schneider gave an unexpected answer.

"The real majority are those in between, the third type of dragon slayers like those ordinary people who 'know, but don't accept'."

"Commonly known as the third party?" Xia Mi said in surprise.

Both Chu Zihang and Schneider were silent.

"...No wonder they all say you are very similar to Lu Mingfei." Schneider said quietly.

Even without seeing his face, Chu Zihang could still imagine the teacher's twitching face at this moment.

"With the word 'ideal' alone, the Secret Party cannot survive for thousands of years, and as an important part of the Secret Party are various mixed-race families. What do these mixed-race families rely on to maintain their prosperity? It is slaying dragons, relying on The most important thing is the great achievements of slaying the dragon, and the mountains of gold piled up in the dragon's lair. Every mixed-race family has a classic legend, such as the history of the Beowulf family's dragon slaying, and these legends must also be accompanied by a period of fortune. history."

Schneider's cold voice echoed in the main control room in Kassel. Manstein stood behind him with a frown. He did not agree with what Schneider said to the students.

"But what you know is always the former. The Beowulf family will not say how much gold they harvested in this war. They will only emphasize how many people were sacrificed in this dragon slaying and that they won the war with the dragons."

"Of course, maybe I shouldn't use the Beowulf family as an example here. At least they are doing real things. They are countless times better than those who never end up and hide in the palace counting gold."

"Natsumi, the third party is those who enjoy the benefits of slaying dragons, but will never admit that they are slaying dragons for these benefits. They stand in front of the Hall of Heroes and praise the greatness of their predecessors. However, they are well aware of the true meaning of dragon slaying, but due to their reputation, they will never admit it on any occasion. While they regard dragon slaying as a great action to protect world peace, they also tacitly agree with the warriors. sacrifice and do their best to usurp various benefits for themselves."

Xia Mi frowned and said, "Do you want the benefits of both ends?"

"As a Chinese, I think you should use your Chinese proverb here - if you become a bitch, you still need to erect an arch." Schneider told a cold joke in a cold tone.

"But I'm a girl, so I can't say such foul words." Xia Mi said.

"Professor, are you referring to the Ice Sea Incident ten years ago?" Chu Zihang suddenly whispered, "How many families were involved in this incident?"

"Unfortunately, it's the entire school board." Schneider said coldly.

"The Gattuso family is also among them?"

"Of course, the Gattuso family was the first to insist that we go to sea."

"Senior Brother Caesar's family is the third party?" Xia Mi suddenly interjected.

"No... the Gattuso family has always been the steadfast first type. They have never concealed their purpose. The Gattuso family headed by Frost has always played the role of businessmen."

After finishing speaking, Schneider was silent for a moment, and he didn't know whether putting these words here would be considered as a good word for the Gattuso family.

"The real third category is the school board members who said nothing at that meeting but chose to support the Gattuso family. The reason for their support afterwards was that it would benefit the secret party's dragon-slaying cause. They will never He will be the first to stand up, always weigh the gains and losses, and stand unsteadily in the middle."

Xia Mi sighed: "It feels like the Gattuso family has become more upright under their background."

"If I had to choose between a hypocrite and a true villain, I think I would choose the true villain. At least I know clearly that he is my enemy, and I don't have to worry about when allies behind my back will stab me."

Professor Schneider ended the meeting with excellent Chinese proficiency.

"This discussion is over for now. By the way...where is Lu Mingfei?"

Schneider's confused voice came from the headphones.

"Didn't he join you?"

…

…

"Hahahaha, don't worry! It is definitely the wisest choice for Hui Liyi to marry into our family. We, the men of the Lu family, love our wives the most!"

The uncle laughed heartily, raised his glass and clinked it with the girl in front of him who was holding the wine glass in both hands and looking slightly tipsy.

Then he patted the old man on the side hard on the shoulder, "Don't worry, in-laws, if Mingfei dares to bully Eli Yi, I will be the first one not to agree!"

Uesugoshi groaned and reluctantly raised his glass under his daughter's clear eyes.

The girl beside her raised her wine glass, toasted her uncle and aunt, and said softly: "Our Eriyi has not had many friends since she was a child. This time, my father and I came to visit my uncle and aunt specially because we were worried that she would suffer in a foreign country. Bullying. Seeing that there are in-laws like uncle and aunt, I think we are worrying too much. If you two are free in the future, you may wish to come to Tokyo, let us do our best as landlords and entertain you well."

Auntie was flattered and raised her glass. Without him, this boy felt so special.

When she came to the door, Yuan Jingmei held a bouquet of tulips in her hands, stood in the sunshine and smiled slightly. She was obviously a person as clear as water, but she reflected infinite brilliance in the sunshine. She also had multiple elements such as the first love next door, the big brother, and was not like a distinguished guest. , it seems like my first love who went to a distant place many years ago came back with flowers from afar...

But unfortunately, my aunt's first love was her uncle.

After listening to the story he just described about Eri Yi's childhood, her aunt looked at this delicate, doll-like girl with a little more pity.

Who wouldn’t pity a girl who is beautiful but had a very difficult childhood?

"That's necessary! I've thought about it. It's definitely inconvenient to have wedding receptions in two places. We can split it into two events. One will be in China and one in Japan. I'll have to trouble my in-laws to organize it there."

The uncle generously filled the cup with wine and said with an air of determination that he would not give up until Uesugi was drunk,

"Come, let's have a drink, father-in-law!"

Uesugoshi forced a smile and raised his glass.

Lu Mingfei on the side laughed.

Why can I sleep from nine o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock the next day... This is probably the reason why the update is so late.
