Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 647: The trump card left by Ange (1)

Liquor, cigars, cowboy hats hanging on the wall, white beards and hair all illustrate the word "untidy".

Apart from Flamel, no other old man in the academy currently has this sense of relaxation.

If you count carefully, Flamel and Angers have known each other for more than a hundred years.

Over the years, he had not learned any of Ange's elegance and propriety.

But Flamel had his own reasons, for example, he had a son and Angers did not.

This shows that Angers's pretended gentlemanliness and elegance are meaningless.

"Norma, report on what happened to Finkel and the others yesterday." Flamel sipped the wine slowly.

"Except for EVA's application for a video link with the returnees from Greenland last night, there was nothing unusual." The computer screen lit up, and Norma reported on what happened last night.

"Why is she video chatting with those guys for no reason?" Flamel asked.

A video recording of last night appears on the screen.

Norma: "The surveillance records have been retrieved."

Flamel stared at the screen with a cold gaze. The first thing he saw was Finger wearing a KFC packaging bag, and then he danced to the music.

The other returnees were smiling, blessing and applauding.

The coldness in his eyes was melting away, revealing the tenderness and concern that belonged only to an old man, and Flamel's taut nerves slowly relaxed.

"It's great to be young." Flamel leaned back, his back pressed against the back of the swivel chair, and put his legs on the table, "I can still wait for the person I miss."

"Do we need to continue monitoring them?" Norma asked.

"Keep going." Flamel's smile was a little weak. "These young people are too restless. Let them rest for a while."

After saying this, Flamel could no longer laugh.

He couldn't understand how he could be hypocritical.

How hypocritical, like a rat crossing the street, mentally exhausted.

"You old rascal, you might as well just die. I won't have any thoughts about you, and I won't have to worry about you blaming me when you wake up one day." Flamel said to himself while drinking: "Now, I don't dare to use my own people..."

Flamel wanted to use Finkel and EVA. The victims in the Greenland Sea incident were all rare elites.

In fact, there are not many elites left in the academy now. Flamel just hopes... that there is still light and a future.

Caesar Gattuso, carrying Gattuso's hopes. In the current situation, Flamel has no right to give orders, nor does he dare to give some tasks.

Chu Zihang followed Lu Mingfei all the way, but in the end he didn't complete the mission at all.

Chu Tianjiao, let alone. Flamel didn't think of dealing with him personally, which was his last mercy. Letting him investigate Gattuso was to make the best use of his resources, and it was also a way to force him to see if he would reveal his true colors.

Finger and EVA, etc. Finger was Flamel's most capable subordinate. But another trip to the Greenland Sea, not only disobeyed Flamel's mission, but also got involved with Loki. Flamel dared not use him...

And the executive department is already in pieces. What is the greatest asset of the college? Is it this place? Is it the ice cellar?

Neither. The talents and technologies cultivated by the academy are the greatest wealth and the fat meat that all families are eyeing.

With talent and technology, how could the things in the academy not be replicated? It was nothing more than spending more money, and the half-blood families who were short of money were not qualified.

Of course, there are also some fixed assets that make other families jealous, such as Norma.

So Flamel gave Finkel the task of modifying Norma's permissions.

What a pity, Flamel underestimated Finkel's ability, or to be more precise, EVA's ability.

But it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t know it now.

Apart from Norma, the academy currently has a fixed asset: Leviathan's Dragon Cross.

Flamel and Beowulf didn't dare to make it public. With Constantine's dragon bone cross in front of them, they were a little scared.

Let's leave it at that for now. It's always better to let those families worry less.

Back to the original question: manpower.

The commissioners of the executive department had some of their members taken back by the families, some of them were taken away by the families seeking support, and the remaining ones had to worry about whether there were spies from the families, so they were basically useless when rounded off.

There are no longer suitable people to do the more core tasks.

So Flamel was melancholy and at the same time felt sorry for the old rogue from Angers.

At least when the old rogue Ange was assassinated, the academy hadn't become like this.

"Vice Principal, there's a call coming in." Norma reported, "Principal Beowulf is requesting to be connected."

"Connect." Flamel perked up.

Beowulf's face appeared on the screen, with joy in his eyes.

"How did the talk go, old man?" Flamel asked.

"It's basically fine." Beowulf said, "The four families have agreed to fully support us, so there will be no problem with manpower, but... the things that Ange left in the four families cannot be taken out."

"That thing is the final trump card. It can only be used with the authorization of the old rogue," Flamel said.

Beowulf couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Do you know what that is?"

"That thing is guarded by your four families, and you don't know it, so how can I know it?"

"The other three families don't know either. This is a contract, signed by Ange in the name of Menech. Do you think the four major families are villains who don't keep their promises?" Beowulf said unhappily: "The mission of the four major families is to guard it, no matter what it is."

"Okay, got it." Flamel said shamelessly: "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to help it."

"That's why Angers didn't look for Flamel's family back then." Beowulf said.

"Fuck, that's enough, I'll hang up if nothing else, I still have to keep an eye on the little guys."

"What's the hurry? I want to ask you something." Beowulf said seriously, "Did Ange tell you about the other person with authority?"

"Yes," Flamel said. "I laughed at him a long time ago and asked him what would happen to the cards you left behind if you died. He replied that someone would take them out when necessary. But he didn't say who it was, no matter how I asked. Why are you asking this?"

"You also know that the four major families have been in decline for too long. They are relying on the remaining elites. It is enough to rely on these people to solve internal problems, but facing the threat of dragons... we need more." Beowulf's words revealed his ambition.

"Are you crazy, old man? In this situation, you still plan to attack those first-generation species? In no particular order?" Flamel asked.

"This is not a question of priority. The current academy is in urgent need of protection. The Doomsday Party has been picked, did you know that?"

Flamel's face changed, "When did it happen?"

"Sigurd told me five days ago. There are still some old guys in the Doomsday Party who are still alive. They escaped from the disaster and sought shelter from the four major families."
