Chapter 54 Extracting Genes
Chapter 54 Extracting Genes
Milan, Italy.
Before Stella Place stands a neoclassical three-story yellow building, which, although not particularly prominent among the many tall and magnificent buildings around it, is the Stella Opera House.
This is one of the world's most famous opera houses, and together with the Paris Opera and the Vienna State Opera, it is known as one of the world's three major opera houses, and is called the "Mecca of Opera".
But no one knew that the Stella Opera House was also the property of the Gattuso family, and that a most prestigious box was reserved for Gattuso's VIP guests.
The surrogate parent, Frost, was squinting at the documents Percy had brought, growing increasingly alarmed with each reading.
Percy bowed slightly and reported, "Based on the abilities Su An has revealed so far, including barriers, spatial devouring, teleportation, insight, and shockwaves... we have no way of knowing where his abilities come from, but we have found that the vice principal once met with Su An. The Flamel family has always possessed valuable alchemical knowledge, perhaps his abilities..."
"Impossible," Frost frowned. "Although Flamel's alchemical skills are indeed unparalleled throughout history, this inference still doesn't hold true. If he had such powerful modification technology, he would have used it long ago. Why would he wait until today?"
My intuition tells me that it's Su An's own power. Apart from the power of that alchemical weapon, which is traceable, the other powers are shrouded in a thick fog.
Percy consulted the documents and explained, "Sir, I originally intended to use that alchemical weapon as a clue to further unravel the mystery surrounding Su An. However, after checking the equipment department's files, I discovered that our Gattuso family has also had connections with that weapon."
"Continue," Frost said quietly, gesturing for Percy to continue.
"This hammer is incredibly powerful. In reality, it's just an ordinary construction hammer, but after being taken into the Dragon Tomb, it was unexpectedly parasitized by the heart of a sub-species. Anyone who gets close to it will be killed by the shockwave."
The Gattuso family's alchemy weapons division once used its board authority, under the pretext of helping to handle highly dangerous alchemical weapons, to send many high-blooded hybrids to approach the hammer, but every elite who got close died.
"They're all dead?" Frost's eyes suddenly turned serious.
Percy nodded and continued, "In fact, it wasn't just our Gattuso family that tried to get that hammer; other board members also tried to get it. But they ultimately failed as well."
The power of that sub-species heart shattered everyone who tried to approach and take it. Perhaps this was the self-protective function of the dragon blood, which resulted in no one actually picking up the hammer except for the principal and Su An.
Even Principal Angers picked up the hammer with Flamel's help; only Suan lifted it entirely on his own. Some have analyzed that perhaps Suan conquered the hammer; he's a monster even more terrifying than Angers. After all, his performance on the Moniach has already proven that.
Frost rubbed his forehead. The surveillance on the Moniach was not comprehensive; some details had suddenly become unusable and could not be recovered. It was already quite an achievement that Percy had managed to piece together the whole picture.
This monster seems completely uncontrollable.
Frost seemed to remember something and asked.
"Didn't I tell you to hack into Su An's browsing history? To find out his preferences? To use love to tie him to the Gattuso family's chariot. What happened to you?"
Percy broke out in a cold sweat and bowed even deeper.
"Angers has taken full precautions to protect his information. I can't find out his preferences in a short time, and I'm worried that being too forward will offend Suan and make him wary, so I didn't look for him immediately."
Frost suddenly realized what was happening and sighed.
"How many people in this world can distinguish between feigned affection and genuine feelings? A warm beginning is never a bad thing. Do you remember whether your first kiss was out of lust or love?"
Percy was taken aback. "Sir, I have never kissed anyone, nor have I ever been kissed."
Frost paused. If Percy hadn't known too many of Gattuso's secrets, he should have had a lover at his age.
Percy keenly sensed Frost's change in mood and said softly, "For the honor of the Gattuso family, my personal affairs are nothing but a fallen leaf, insignificant."
Frost nodded, then picked up his phone in surprise.
The message came from a man who never cared about household affairs and only indulged in sensual pleasures. His name was Pompeii Gattuso, the true head of the Gattuso family.
The text message from Pompeii was very short, just one simple sentence.
"Befriend Su An, cooperate fully with Su An, and never be his enemy."
Frost was stunned. Over the years, even when Pompeii came to him, he only asked for money, yachts, and private jets. He was a playboy who entertained the world, but no one had ever doubted Pompeii's intelligence.
Moreover, this was an order personally issued by the head of the family, and its contents must be implemented one by one.
"Su An seems to have a roommate. Percy, go and use that to break through Su An's love problem," Frost thought for a moment and then ordered. "There will definitely be many people trying to befriend Su An at the celebration ball. We can't fall behind. We must squeeze every last drop out of Su An's potential."
Genji Heavy Industries, Tokyo, Japan.
In the huge conference room, the heads of the Snake Clan gathered together. Everyone in the conference room, who could command the wind and rain outside, was now sitting respectfully below an old man and a young boy.
The old man was a Slavic man with a high nose and deep-set eyes. Despite wearing a kimono, he didn't look out of place at all. He sat up straight, his upper body as stiff as iron.
The young man sat next to the old man. His appearance was as delicate as a chrysanthemum, and his narrow eyes shone with a sharp light. Even through the screen, his slightly feverish body told him how terrifying Su Wen on the screen was.
After watching the surveillance footage from the Moniach, everyone seemed frozen in place, completely still.
After a long while, the old man in the center spoke first. He looked gently at the heads of the families below and asked in a soft and gentle tone.
"Esteemed family heads, what are your thoughts?"
"This is a monster! How can Kassel College be a monster?!"
The head of the Ryoma family spoke first. He was a stern-looking old man with a simple buzz cut, reminiscent of the Showa era.
"Isn't one Angers enough? Here comes another monster."
The head of the Sakurai family then spoke, her eyebrows and eyes as light as distant mountains, and her beautiful blush made her face look even more graceful with age.
"We need to keep an eye on those belligerent elements in the branch; we might run into Su An on a mission."
The head of the Fengmo family finally offered some useful advice, but he still couldn't help but admire Su An's agile figure on the screen.
"Perhaps we should find an opportunity to study Su An's DNA?"
The head of the Miyamoto family raised his eyes. He had just hurriedly come out of the Ganryu Laboratory, and there were still stains left by the compound on his body. This man had a strong but gentle face, and he looked a lot like Zaizen Goro from The White Tower.
He was the only man in the entire venue who had any knowledge of alchemy equipment.
He leaned closer to look at the hammer on the screen, and the more he looked, the more horrified he became.
"Chisato, what do you think?"
The old man, Tachibana Masamune, turned his gaze to the young man, Genjiro, who was the young patriarch of the Hebi family and was destined to take on the responsibility of leading the Hebi family in the future.
"Even in my dragon bone form, I might not be able to gain the upper hand. He's a formidable opponent."
Genjiro let out a soft breath, expelling the tingling sensation from his head into his chest.
"At the victory celebration dance, I sent someone to befriend Su An."
Such a monster is not to be trifled with.
"By the way, is there any information revealing what kind of woman Su An likes?"
Yuan Zhisheng suddenly asked a question that surprised everyone.
Tachibana Masamune's expression was strange: "Chisuke, what are you planning to do?"
"I hope to preserve Su An's genes at all costs."
"Such a high bloodline, yet he can still maintain his rationality. Perhaps he holds the answer." Genji paused, looking at everyone and saying each word clearly, "The answer to completely defeating the Demon Clan."
All the family heads began to think seriously and discuss the matter earnestly.
"I don't know what kind of woman he likes."
"I heard his roommate Fingel is Kassel's number one paparazzi, he must know that."
"Then let's spend a lot of money to break through to Fingel."
"There's bound to be a star that suits Su An in Longma's entertainment company."
"Squeeze every last drop of his DNA out of him."
