Chapter 70 The Train Problem: Individual Choices

There were only four passengers on a flight from Chicago, the United States to Osaka, Japan.

“Junior, I can understand you going to Japan and bringing along Genjiro, that local bigwig, and it's also understandable that you'd get Fingal involved if it could be helpful, but I…”

Lucy Pallas sat right next to Cao Han, her eyes filled with the sorrow of an abandoned woman.

It's like being sitting in the classroom when disaster strikes out of nowhere!

She was still in the classroom, full of confidence about how to pass the make-up exam for "High Energy Physics" under the watchful eyes of the proctor.

Even with the air conditioning set at 23.5 degrees Celsius, I was still sweating profusely.

"Ding--"

Just as a text message notification sounded, the proctor turned around to check the podium where the students had temporarily placed their phones, much to Lucy Pallas's delight.

That moment.

Lucy Pallas reacted with the fastest speed she'd ever shown, tilting her head and craning her neck to peek at the answer of the student to her right.

But the next second...

"Lucy Pallas!"

A chilling voice, as if plunging her into an abyss, rang out from above. Her eyes cautiously peeked upwards, where she saw the figure she least wanted to see.

"The Academy's Executive Department has issued a last-minute notice that you are on an urgent mission. As for your makeup exam this time..."

Just when Lucy Pallas thought things would take a turn for the better and the teacher would be lenient, the proctor's next words made her feel like her life was turning bleak: "Because you cheated, I regret to inform you that you will fail the course."

I hope you can study hard and pass the exam next year!

Having been caught red-handed cheating on the exam, Lucy Pallas could only slink away from the exam room, then remembered the urgent mission the teacher had mentioned earlier.

"What bad luck I've had this year! This ridiculous emergency mission specifically requested me, a piece of trash!"

Some people's incompetence is hidden, while others' incompetence is practically written all over their faces, like Lucy Pallas.

After repeatedly consulting Norma and confirming that the emergency mission was personally assigned by Executive Director von Schneider, she knew very well that she couldn't fight against the powerful.

The only option was to rush back to the dormitory as quickly as possible according to the mission notification text message, start packing the necessary things, and then head non-stop to the mission meeting point, which was the Chicago airport, the closest airport to Kassel College.

I also saw three handsome guys with different hair colors.

The scene returns to the airplane.

Cao Han's trip to Japan was indeed requested from his mentor, von Schneider. To make it look legitimate, Schneider even assigned them a task.

"Senior, there's a saying in my hometown..."

"A team needs five types of people: a tiger that shakes the mountain, an eagle with foresight, a wolf that is good at fighting, a leopard that is agile, and a dog that guards the door."

Cao Han's words prompted Lucy Pallas to reflect deeply on the spot, and she began to examine what part of the team her junior was talking about.

First, the tiger that shook the mountain and the wolf that was good at fighting were eliminated immediately!

With her utterly pathetic fighting ability among mixed-race individuals, she could only bully ordinary people at best.

A farsighted eagle and an agile leopard...

Failing one professional course after another suggests that he is not very bright, nor does he seem to be a person with foresight.

Then, looking down, you definitely can't see your toes. Look at that curvaceous figure; it has absolutely nothing to do with so-called agility.

After a process of elimination, only one correct answer remained. Lucy Parasto pouted, looking aggrieved, "How did I become the gatekeeper's dog, senior!"

Cao Han looked at Lucy Pallas with a surprised expression and said somewhat strangely, "No, no, senior, you're not a watchdog."

"What is that?" Lucy had clearly misunderstood, mistakenly believing that she held such a high position in Cao Han's heart.

She was too happy too soon!

"In my opinion, you're just a pretty face, a mere decorative vase."

"Flowers... vase!?"

At that moment, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died. Lucy Pallas slumped in her seat, reconsidering the meaning of life...

Cao Han, who was happy to have some free time, quietly looked at his mission objectives.

It wasn't a mission target assigned to him by the executive department to provide cover, but rather a hunting mission target that Brother Tongzi refreshed every week.

"Hunting Mission: Jung von Herzog"

Mission Summary: He could be Tachibana Masamune, the leader of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, or a king general leading the Demon Clan. Those who manipulate all living beings will surely be despised by them.

Task Difficulty: ★★★

Looking at his hunting target, Cao Han seriously suspected that Brother Tong was making things difficult for him!

Two out of the three-star difficulty rating are probably due to the cunning and treacherous nature of the mission objectives.

No matter how cunning you are, you can only drink foot bath water in front of the powerful Tongzi.

It's important to know that the hunting mission targets are located in real time by the system, which means that if Cao Han wants to kill this guy, he can't escape no matter where he runs!

"As a result, some plans will have to be brought forward!"

Cao Han's original plan for this trip to Japan was to have Genji become the director of the executive bureau so that he could continuously harvest evolution points for a period of time, and also to drive a nail into Japan.

When the time is right, we can reap all the rewards.

However, if the target of the hunt is that old scoundrel Tachibana Masamune, many plans will need to be brought forward.

In the original work, Herzog's plan was to find the remains of the White King by digging the Well of Remains, and then filter the White King's blood through the sacred vessel, namely Uesugi Erii, to become the new White King.

If it weren't for this hunting mission, Cao Han might still be quietly waiting for Herzog to become the White King, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

It should be noted that even if Herzog becomes the White King, without his dragon body and only in human form, he is nothing more than a lame White King.

In addition, the White King's authority is the fifth element of spirit, so the two combined are like a fragile mage.

He was confident that he could completely dominate Cao Han, a melee fighter with high mental resistance.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Japanese branch is currently secretly excavating the Red Well in search of the location of the burial site.

It's just a skeleton of the White King, it doesn't even have any evolution value, even dogs wouldn't want it. We have to speed up Herzog's plans and force it to become the White King faster.

"Yuan Zhisheng."

"What's wrong, Han Jun?"

Have you ever heard of the century-old choice problem called the Train Problem?

Fingel, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, explained before Genji could: "Junior, are you referring to that question about choosing between one person on one railway track and five people on another?"

“This is it, this is it.” With something to talk about, Lucy regained her energy.

Although he didn't quite understand Cao Han's intention in suddenly asking this question, Genjiro still thought about it seriously for a minute or two before giving a rather Genjiro-esque answer:

"I will choose one person's side."

In other words, it means getting the greatest value with the least sacrifice.

Cao Han was not at all surprised that Genjiro made this choice.

If things go as expected, Genjiro, who will return to Japan as the head of the executive bureau, will personally confront this issue and ultimately choose to kill his younger brother, Genjiro.

"If you were faced with the same question, Han Jun, what would you choose?"

"I'll jump off and kick the whole train away!"

Chapter 71 Involves Various Forces

Angers closed his laptop and glanced at the rest of the board members at the conference table.

He publicly claimed to be attending a cocktail party in the fashion capital of Paris, but in reality, he was attending a board meeting of the Kassel College.

To prevent a repeat of the tragedy of the "Summer Mourning" incident where elites were wiped out, lessons were learned and the location of each board meeting is now randomized.

The address is written on a slip of paper in advance, but the person who draws it is different each time.

To be honest, Angers genuinely didn't want to hold such meetings that were a complete waste of his limited lifespan, except that the normal operation of Kassel College still required the support of these board members.

The meeting room appeared calm, but it was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending conflict.

This is because the school board members, represented by Frost Gattuso, had already launched a round of questioning against Angers.

The content is not much different from the previous two, still revolving around the body of the next generation of dragons.

Considering that the Gattuso family was the first to propose the Nibelungen Plan, Angers and Nicolas Flamel decided to inform them before officially implementing the plan.

"The Nibelungen Project..."

If successful, it will be another milestone in the Secret Service's journey!

For ambitious forces, the success of the Nibelungen Project would mean the emergence of super hybrids, which would naturally disrupt the balance of power.

However, for some old folks who are practically halfway to their graves...

The improvement in personal strength is far less than the increase in lifespan brought about by a bloodline breakthrough!

Who wouldn't envy someone like Angers, who has S-class bloodline and is still vigorous at 130?

From a technical and theoretical perspective, the Nibelungen Project was highly feasible, but the older they got, the more they valued their lives and were unwilling to be the first guinea pigs.

Therefore, the other board members watched the entire dispute between Frost Gattuso and Angers from the sidelines.

“Angers, don’t forget that you are only the principal of Kassel College. How to use that dragon body should be discussed and decided by our board of directors!”

“Acting Board Member Frost, first of all, I must correct you on one point!” Angers disregarded the rule that one could only speak after ringing the bell at the Board of Directors meeting, straightening his back slightly forward and retorting in a firm tone:

"This second-generation dragon body was Cao Han's personal spoils of war, and now the students are presenting it to me, their highly respected principal."

"You say it's not up to me to decide how to allocate and use resources?"

"You~!"

Frost Gattuso knew perfectly well that Cao Han and Angers must have made some kind of deal, but he was completely powerless to do anything about it.

In a fit of anger, all he could do was rage for a moment.
