Chapter 277 Time Zero Recklessness
"Mr. Ye, we're almost at the coast of the Dragon Kingdom."
Yuan Zhinv held Xixue in her arms and stood quietly on the railing beside the deck. In her memory, he seemed to still be wearing a theatrical robe and had long hair.
"Is this your first time in China?" Ye Jingchen asked.
Yuan Zhinv nodded, "Yes, it's my first time."
"Since things have come to this, let's send a message first." Ye Jingchen took out his phone and sent a text message to Xia Mi.
Yuan Zhinu frowned as she looked at Ye Jingchen, who remained completely unmoved, and asked:
"Will those guys from the Secret Service really form a united front to help us?"
"No," Ye Jingchen shook his head without even thinking, "Attack the Dragon King sounds too far-fetched."
"Compared to helping us attack the Dragon King, they prefer to watch from the sidelines. These relics of the old era are born with the mission of slaying dragons."
"However, after witnessing the power of the Dragon King, their views changed. They no longer wanted to completely erase the Dragon King from the world, but instead wanted to become the Dragon King themselves."
"Of course, that's a bit difficult to do."
Yuan Zhinv's eyes darted around, and she asked in a low voice, "Then Kassel College's thoughts are similar to those of the Secret Party, right? After all, Kassel College's predecessor can be said to be the Secret Party, and it still has a close relationship with the Secret Party. They probably won't go all out to help us."
"As for Kassel College, it mainly depends on Hilbert Jean Angers' ideas. He's the kind of person who's willing to put all the chips on the table to slay a dragon. Don't have any illusions about them, just rely on yourself."
Yuan Zhinv noticed that Ye Jingchen did not address her as Principal Angers this time, but rather by her full name. "Isn't Mr. Ye the executive officer of Kassel College?"
“I admire Angers,” Ye Jingchen shook his head before he could finish speaking, “but I wasn’t actually an executive officer at Kassel College at first; I was just an ordinary half-blood.”
"As for the identity of the executive officer of Kassel College, it was just a mask that Angers used to play along with my weak self, giving me a boost. I never thought that it would become real later."
"I am still very grateful to him. If it weren't for his help, I might have been captured by the Snake Clan and taken to Genji Heavy Industries to undergo Herzog's slicing experiment."
Ordinary, identity mask, fake becoming real... all of this reached Yuan Zhinv's ears, and he was instantly shocked, his eyes widening in surprise.
It's worth noting that back when the Demon Clan was still the Dragon King, Genji had a basic understanding of Ye Jingchen, the Kassel College executive who appeared out of nowhere.
However, upon hearing the person's own account, everything previously known was overturned.
"So, can this be considered a wrong process with a correct result?" Yuan Zhinv asked after a moment of astonishment.
Ye Jingchen tilted his head and glanced at the sky. The sky by the sea was really low, as if he could tear a cloud off with a wave of his hand.
"Yes and no, I guess." Ye Jingchen raised his hand and made a fist towards the sun. "For such a legendary figure as him, only the great cause that permeated his life's beliefs deserves to mark the end of his life."
"If the dragon-slaying mission is finally completed and he is still alive, then a battle with me is inevitable."
"Rather than die in despair, let him die in this battle between Odin and Leviathan, so that his life will not have been in vain."
Yuan Zhinu was stunned again, feeling numb. He thought Ye Jingchen would remember their past relationship and try to save someone like Angers.
"I always thought that Ye Jun and he had a very good relationship and that he would find a way to protect him from this battle."
Ye Jingchen curled his lips, "At first I was weak and had to watch Kassel's face. Now that I've stood up, if I still have to watch Kassel's face, then what's the point of standing up?"
"Sacrifice was the best outcome for him as a dragon-slaying leader, and this is my way of expressing my gratitude to him. There was no real friendship between us; he gave me the position of executor at Kassel College for his own dragon-slaying career."
"I accepted his offer, survived, absorbed nutrients to become stronger, and did it all for my own sake."
"It's clearly a matter of mutual help and equal cooperation, why make it seem like I'm trying to climb up to Kassel College?"
Yuan Zhinü suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that Ye Jingchen's stance had always been his personal stance, unrelated to Kassel or the Snake Clan.
From an ordinary person's perspective, if Kassel College had given Ye Jingchen an identity under those circumstances, then Kassel College would have been the landlord bestowing upon him unparalleled favor, and Ye Jingchen would have been a slave year-round.
With a buzzing sound, Ye Jingchen's phone began to vibrate violently in his pocket.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Xia Mi calling. "Hey, Xia Mi, we're about to dock."
Xia Mi: "Uh... Boss, let's not talk about landing yet. I have something more important to say right now."
Ye Jingchen frowned: "Is there anything more important? Just say it."
Xia Mi: "Su Xiaoqiang and I stayed here at the port to coordinate with you and the Snake Clan, but the alchemy matrix I left at home suddenly reacted..."
Ye Jingchen: "You mean, something happened to that black egg?"
Xia Mi: "Yes, by the time I got back, the black egg was gone. Now I don't know if it hatched on its own or if someone stole it."
Ye Jingchen: "Don't hesitate, it must have been stolen. If it were self-incubated, based on its understanding, your inferior alchemy matrix would definitely not have been triggered."
Xia Mi: "If it was stolen, I think it should be the owner of the Word of Zero, because I got back very quickly. When I got home and found that the black egg was missing, I immediately activated the Word of Zero: Bloodline Knot. But I couldn't detect anything unusual in the whole city. He was very fast."
Ye Jingchen: "I understand, I'm hanging up."
Yuan Zhinu carried Xi Xue on her back. Only after Ye Jingchen hung up the phone did she speak up and offer her conjecture:
"Ye Jun, if it's Time Zero, do you think it could be him?"
Ye Jingchen naturally knew that the "he" Yuan Zhinv was referring to was Angers, and shook his head, "Not necessarily, it's not like he's the only one whose Word of Power is Time Zero. Let me call and ask."
Swipe the screen to dial Hilbert Jean Angers.
Angers: "Ye Jingchen, I'm in the Executive Department discussing this battle with Schneider. What's wrong?"
Ye Jingchen: "The Black King's Cocoon has been stolen. It moves very fast. I initially suspect it was stolen by the user of Time Zero's Word of Power."
On the other end of the phone, Angers remained silent for a long time, seemingly worried about the Black King's Cocoon, or perhaps lamenting being suspected. Finally, he spoke:
"As far as I know, besides me, there are two other people who possess the Word of Power Time Zero: Chu Tianjiao, a top-secret S-level executive officer in Kassel, and Hara Fujinobu of the Gattuso family."
Ye Jingchen: "Okay."
Without saying anything more, Ye Jingchen hung up the phone, then pulled out the Nameless Sword and stepped on it.
"Ye Jun, what's going on?" Yuan Zhinu asked.
"Neither Angers nor Chu Tianjiao had a clear motive. I think it was Genjiro Yukinobu of the Gattuso family who stole it. You stay here and help your brother with the docking when we arrive. Su Xiaoqiang should be waiting for you at the port."
After saying this, Ye Jingchen flew away on his sword...
