Chu Zihang swallowed hard: "President... I probably can't eat right now."
"It's okay, I didn't peel it for you." Lin Chen took a bite by himself, the juice bursting in his mouth.
Chu Zihang remained silent.
Lin Chen shrugged: "You've just woken up, so it's not suitable for you to eat right now. You can only be sustained by intravenous nutrition. At most, I'll cook you some liquid food."
"I... I'm not dead?" Chu Zihang tried to move his limbs, but aches and pains spread throughout his body.
"It must hurt a lot," Lin Chen said. "But it's just pain. The high-voltage current passed through your body, causing your muscles to spasm and become paralyzed. You also have some burns, but fortunately, your internal organs, bones, and tendons were not damaged. Recovery is just a matter of time!"
"How long... have I been lying here?"
"Ten days," Lin Chen said. "I never imagined you would risk your life like that. I had alternatives and plenty of time, but you just rushed in."
Chu Zihang lowered his head, recalling what had happened.
"President..." Chu Zihang's mouth was dry. "You know, I used to be a coward. You and my father faced Odin, but I could only hide in the car and run away. Now I can't back down. I still have the life to fight. I don't want to be left to regret it in the end!"
Lin Chen gently patted Chu Zihang's shoulder: "Well said, but there's no need to say anything more. Letting your little brother die in front of your big brother, you're brave, but it makes me look too useless."
"How could that be?" Chu Zihang said quickly.
Lin Chen waved his hand: "Remember next time, when faced with a situation like this, have your boss pretend to be cool, and you just watch from behind!"
Chu Zihang's heart skipped a beat: "Thank you, Chairman."
His gaze was immediately drawn to the flowers on the bedside table: "President...you even brought me flowers?"
"I'm not that mushy," Lin Chen said. "Xia Mi brought this over."
Chu Zihang understood: "It's my sister-in-law."
"More or less." Lin Chen nodded. "But are you sure you want to call me that? Think about how many 'older sisters' you already have in the academy."
"Hmm... President, you should be the one to explain this."
Lin Chen: "..."
"But why carnations?" Chu Zihang asked.
“I know you like lilies or chrysanthemums, but you have to consider a practical issue,” Lin Chen said. “Xia Mi is still a freshman, and for him… carnations are cheap.”
"...Please thank your sister-in-law for me."
"Alright," Lin Chen said, "Let's talk about something else, or your secret will be exposed."
Chu Zihang was taken aback: "What?"
"You think you just woke up? No, your brain regained consciousness a day ago."
Chu Zihang sensed something was wrong: "Then why am I only waking up now?"
“It was the principal,” Lin Chen said. “He hypnotized you and asked you about Odin and the Nibelungen!”
"Why didn't he ask you? Your experience and understanding are clearer than mine!"
Lin Chen shrugged: "You don't believe me, but you don't have the ability to hypnotize me, so you're the only one I can start with!"
"So they didn't get anything out of them, did they?"
"You didn't have anything on you to begin with."
"Okay." Chu Zihang was still feeling discouraged. "Is there anything else?"
Lin Chen spread his hands, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that the doctors and nurses around him had all left, and the ward had suddenly become quiet.
The sound of leather shoes clicking on the ground came from outside. Lin Chen turned around and Angers strode over.
"Hello, Principal." Lin Chen greeted him.
Chu Zihang tried to get up, but his physical condition was not good enough to support him.
Angers sat down next to Lin Chen, glanced at the pear in Lin Chen's hand, and asked, "Are you going to eat it all by yourself?"
Lin Chen shrugged: "I'm afraid it will affect Chu Zihang's recovery."
Angers sighed.
Lin Chen asked, "Do you have something to talk about? I'll go out first."
“Stay here,” Angers said. “Listen to what’s happening.”
"Okay!" Lin Chen didn't refuse and continued eating the pear in his hand.
Angers looked at Chu Zihang and said in a low voice, "How long have you been using this technique? Don't try to hide it. I was one of the earliest members of the Lionheart Society. On the roller coaster, you used Bloodlust, a forbidden technique that enhances the power of words by relying on the Spring Blossom bloodline of high willpower!"
"Two years..." Chu Zihang made no attempt to hide anything.
Angers turned his head toward Lin Chen.
Lin Chen shrugged: "Why are you looking at me? What does it have to do with me?"
Angers looked at Chu Zihang again: "So, not long after you became the vice president of the Lionheart Society, you mastered this skill."
Chu Zihang nodded: "There are traces of violent blood records in the Lionheart Society's original files, which I summarized from them."
“Incredible!” Angers said. “I have already taken away the Bloodlust artifact, but the Duji still managed to find this forbidden secret technique from the slightest clues. However, Bloodlust is very dangerous. It makes people very aggressive and can even turn them into Death Servants!”
Chu Zihang nodded.
Angers continued, "The original purpose of studying bloodlust was for evolution, to evolve into dragons. But this is a completely unworkable path. Human genes cannot be rewritten. No matter how evolution occurs, there will always be impurities in human genes. This will prevent people from evolving into pure-blooded dragons and will only allow them to become something like Deadpool. If one day you really become Deadpool, I will kill you without mercy!"
Lin Chen raised his hand: "Don't worry, Principal, if that day ever comes, you won't have to bother; I'll take care of it!"
Angers glanced at Lin Chen: "It's truly touching that the president took the life for the vice president!"
"Principal, let me correct you. I have stepped down from my position at the beginning of this semester, and Chu Zihang has fully succeeded me as president of the Lionheart Club!" Lin Chen said.
Angers shook his head: "I don't care who becomes the president, but the Bloodlust 5.0 technique can no longer be used. I can make an exception this time, but if the board of directors finds out, you won't even live to see the day you fall into the dead.
Lin Chen shrugged: "It's like a teacher advising a student to study hard. The student might listen at the time, but after turning around, the most likely outcome is that they will still do as they please."
Angers suddenly said, "As the vice president, Chu Zihang has mastered the Bloodlust technique. As the president, I want to know your understanding of Bloodlust."
Lin Chen laughed: "I was just the previous president, but Principal, you were a founding member of the Lionheart Society. Your understanding of Bloodlust is obviously much deeper!"
Angers stared into Lin Chen's eyes, and Lin Chen looked back at him.
After a long while, Angers finally sighed softly.
“I’m old and near death, but I still want to live a little longer and fulfill my life’s wish before I die,” Angers said softly. “But at the same time, I’m also an educator, and I don’t want to see my students die before me!”
201: Frost makes his move! Angers unites the front!
Angers pushed open the door and went out.
Lin Chen finally outmaneuvered Angers.
Chu Zihang knows how to use Bloodlust, and Lin Chen, as the guild leader, knows about Bloodlust, but he has never used it.
But Lin Chen reminded Angers.
Angers is no pushover; he has known about this secret technique for a hundred years and is also aware of the dangers of bloodlust.
How could a man determined to seek revenge not crave power, even if that power is dangerous, like making a deal with the devil?
He was the most devout user of Bloodlust; for revenge, he was willing to disregard everything.
As an educator, he had no way to offer Lin Chen any advice.
At the last moment, he could only respond emotionally.
Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, President."
"You're welcome," Lin Chen said. "And from today onwards, just call me senior. I've stepped down from my position, and now everyone in the Lionheart Society knows you're the new president!"
Chu Zihang nodded: "Okay!"
"Don't be too happy yet," Lin Chen said. "Although you're still lying in a hospital bed, you still have a lot of trouble to solve."
Chu Zihang was taken aback: "What trouble?"
……
Rome.
The Gattuso family headquarters.
Frost sat silently in his large office, staring at the documents on his desk.
There were two photos placed side by side. The first photo showed the ruins of a train station, which was from a mission that Chu Zihang had once carried out.
Chapter Two is set in the ruins of the Serpent in the Midgard Roller Coaster, triggered by Xia Mi.
These two ruins are strikingly similar, and it's clear that the first one was also created by Xia Mi.
Standing opposite Frost was his young secretary, Percy, the Gattuso family's war machine.
Percy bowed slightly, his light blond hair obscuring half his face: "I've already bought Six Flags theme park, so I can analyze that ruin at any time. Here's a brief analysis report!"
Frost stared at the document: "The Dragon King has awakened? This conclusion is astonishing!"
"This is the analysis of the tenured professors at Kassel College. They speculate that this is a high-level incantation that can only be wielded by the four monarchs. Judging from the situation at the ruins, it is undoubtedly the King of Earth and Mountains."
“Interesting.” Frost stared intently at the documents on the table. “Another dragon king has awakened.”
