Starting From the Dragon Tribe

Chapter 6: I Didn’t Run Away

“You watched a movie there?” The executive officer was shocked by Lu Chen’s answer. When did he watch the movie? Why would he still be outside the theater at this hour after the movie ended? That means… “Many people were killed inside the theater.”

“I know.”

“You saw it?”

“Yes.”

“How did you run away?”

“I didn’t run away.”

“What?” The executive officer widened his eyes as the other secret agents shot Lu Chen a glance and placed their hands on their weapons. “You mean you killed the hunched man?”

Lu Chen fell silent.

Realizing his worry, the executive officer said, “Don’t worry. We’re not the police.”

“He showed me his police ID just now.” Lu Chen pointed at the black-haired man, who appeared to be embarrassed.

The executive officer remained silent for a moment as he didn’t expect that their usual tactic would turn out to be a shot at their own feet. “We’ll do it like the police then. Can we get your fingerprint?” As he spoke, he told his subordinate to dust for the fingerprint on the dagger.

However, the next moment, Lu Chen said, “I killed him.” He knew he couldn’t get away. It wasn’t possible that his fingerprint was on the dagger, but his finger marks must be on the man’s shoulders, so it was pointless to stall for time. His reaction just now was what was expected of a civilian. He would appear to be suspicious if he admitted to it directly.

“How did you kill him?” the executive officer questioned.

“I’m a martial artist. When he tried to harm me, I decided to kill him.” Lu Chen spoke in a dispassionate tone as though he had just won the fight between young kids, which wasn’t even worth mentioning.

However, the executive officer and other secret agents widened their eyes in disbelief. What do you mean you’re a martial artist? Do you think you’re Son Goku just because you’re wearing a robe? The average martial artist couldn’t possibly kill a dangerous mixed-race human who had incredible speed and power!

“Sir.” Just then, a 19-year-old woman walked over and passed the iPad to the executive officer. The screen showed the information Norma had just gathered.

“Lu Chen, 18 years old…” All the information about Lu Chen in this world was listed. His parents passed away when he was a young kid, and he was then adopted by the owner of a martial arts center. Subsequently, they relocated to Vietnam. After his guardian’s death, Lu Chen took over the martial arts center. However, due to his lack of competence in managing the business, he had no students now. After all, he looked too young to be a martial arts master.

The information was so detailed that the exact location his master came across him, and the fact that he had peeped at a widow showering when he was a young kid were shown.

His background is simple, and he doesn’t have any relatives. The executive officer became excited as he might have found an unpolished gem for his organization. It seems that this young man knows nothing about the dragon race. Despite having immense power, he isn’t aware that he’s different from the average person. However, he has no friends and students. Perhaps it has something to do with the ‘Mourning of Blood’. He managed to kill a dangerous mixed-race human without having golden irises or awakening his ancestral power. His blood is probably Grade A or even higher!

“I was just defending myself and I didn’t run away. I’d definitely call the police after pulling myself together,” Lu Chen suddenly explained in an obedient manner. However, his impassive tone and gaze made his statement appear to be questionable. After all, he was just a Mystic Warrior, so his acting skills weren’t as good as the secret agents.

However, the excited executive officer didn’t notice anything. Patting Lu Chen’s shoulders, he asked, “Don’t worry. We’ll handle the rest and make sure you won’t be affected. By the way, are you interested in joining Cassell College?”

Finally, Lu Chen thought as he had been waiting for it. He had no idea what Cassell College was about, but the place seemed to be interesting. Hopefully, he would come across some superhumans whom he could fight with.

He was aware that his stay in this world would be extended if he could complete the mission. Upon getting 3000 origin coins from the previous mission, he knew that it must be a useful currency for his following journey. The longer he stayed in this world, the more rewards he could potentially get.

“College? Do I have to pay any fees?” He asked the most important questions because to others, he was supposed to have no money. Without the martial arts center as his shelter, he would have to sleep on the streets.

Just then, the girl, who brought with her the iPad just now, explained, “We have subsidies for poor students, so you don’t have to worry about fees. If you’re good enough, you’ll even get a scholarship.”

The executive officer didn’t stop her because he knew that a young girl would be more persuasive than a middle-aged man like him.

“Hi, I’m Lutecia Campbell.” The girl introduced herself with a smile. Even though she dressed up like a secret agent, her mannerism was that of a noblewoman from a royal family.

Why is she acting like she’s from the royal family? What’s going on with this college? Lu Chen thought.

“Lu Chen.”

Hearing that, Lu Chen nodded.

“Have you made up your mind? We’re actually the same kind of people, so joining Cassell College will be beneficial to you,” the executive officer said. He didn’t want to waste any time, so he wanted Lu Chen to give him a clear answer.

“Will I be able to practice martial arts there?” Lu Chen asked. 

“That’s a compulsory course in our college. In fact, we teach different styles of martial arts from all over the world, so you can choose to take different classes.”

Lutecia was startled upon hearing that. It seems that he’s really a martial arts maniac at such a young age. I hate martial arts classes so much.

“I’ll join your college then.” After pretending to be hesitant for a bit, Lu Chen nodded.

Following that, the executive officer pressed a button on his iPhone and held it out to Lu Chen. “Say something.”

“What?” Lu Chen was puzzled.

“Your voiceprint has been recorded. We’ll start the process now. Lu Chen, have you agreed to join Cassell College?”

The female voice coming from the phone sounded mechanical, but it was surprisingly pleasant to hear. The front camera of the phone was directed at his face, and the other secret agents helped illuminate him with their own phones.

Even though Lu Chen was shocked by how high-tech this was, he still replied calmly, “Yes.”

“Your voiceprint is verified, and you’ve agreed to join Cassell College. Your temporary number in the college will be AI031718. I’m Norma. It’s been a pleasure serving you. Your flight ticket, passport and visa will be sent to you in two weeks. Welcome to Cassell College.”

“What is a temporary number?” Lu Chen was perplexed. 0317 was his birthday, and 18 was his age in this world.

“You’ll have a new number after the 3E test, which will ascertain your final blood grade. Since you were able to kill that guy on your own, your blood must be Grade A,” Lutecia explained. She was still amazed by what this young man had achieved.

Lu Chen’s muscles were well-balanced, and there was no unnecessary fat on his face, so he appeared to be a uniquely handsome Asian man. He doesn’t look like he could kill that dangerous mixed-race human with brute force, Lutecia thought.

…

Watching Lu Chen return home, Lutecia thought she should invite him to the student union after he joined the college. However, she snapped back to reality when the executive officer began speaking. “Team B, follow him and make sure he won’t notice you. Report to me if you come across anything unusual.” He spoke in a cold voice, and he was no longer as excited as he was just now.

Noticing the doubt on their faces, the executive officer recalled that Team B hadn’t seen the corpse yet, so he said, “You can get in to have a look before executing the order.”

Just then, the image of the corpse sprang into his mind.

The corpse’s leg bones were completely crushed, and his arms were twisted several times. The expression on his face was transformed by terror, as though he had come across an even more horrifying monster before his death.

Certainly, the executive officer would love to invite more talented people to the organization, but he didn’t want to bring back a monster.
