Just then, gunshots rang out, and large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun bullets sprayed out from the red-toothed eaves of Tamamo-no-Mae's roof.
Anti-aircraft machine guns are large-caliber machine guns primarily used for firing at aerial targets. They have greater firepower and bullet lethality than ordinary firearms, and a faster rate of fire. When four machine guns fire simultaneously, they instantly create a barrage of bullets.
Angers and Inuyama were in a spacious hall, with nowhere to hide.
And Angers never shied away.
Inuyama was prepared to shield Angers from the bullets with his own body, but at the moment the gun fired, a huge shadow appeared at the entrance to the hall, forming a cover that shielded Angers and Inuyama from the bullets in that area!
That's a bulletproof, extended Hummer!
The deafening gunfire, accompanied by a rapid stream of bullets, struck the bulletproof Humvee with tremendous force, creating a dense, rain-like sound.
But this Hummer does have good bulletproof performance, and it has two layers of bulletproof protection, front and back.
Just as Angers was about to use the Word of Power: Time Zero, he stopped all his actions, looking at the suddenly appearing Hummer and his student Gu Ran.
Gu Ran then hid behind the Hummer and tossed a sniper rifle to Angers from his arms.
Angers understood immediately, and after taking the gun, he activated the Word of Power: Time Zero.
Gu Ran's Sharingan only observed that Angers stood up at an extremely fast speed, fired four shots, and then immediately squatted down.
At this moment, the Time Zero domain closed, and the machine guns outside stopped firing after a muffled thud.
Just moments ago, Angers aimed his sniper rifle extremely quickly and fired four shots. All four bullets hit the muzzle of the machine gun, blocking it and causing it to explode.
"Wuhu, the principal truly lives up to his reputation as the fastest shooter in the world!" Gu Ran led the applause, flattering the old principal.
“You…” Angers shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and tossed the sniper rifle back to him. “What are you doing here?”
"I heard there are lots of girls here, so I came." Gu Ran slung his sniper rifle over his back. "Where are the beauties from the Inuyama family? Why aren't they here to greet me? Your patriarch was almost riddled with bullets just now. If it weren't for me, our headmaster would have become Cao Cao!"
“What do you mean, ‘be Cao Cao’? How did I become Cao Cao?” Angers said irritably.
"The head of the Inuyama family is dead. Headmaster, aren't you eager to take care of his goddaughters?"
"Don't think of me as such a pervert. Do you think this is some kind of adult film plot?" Angers snapped at Gu Ran.
Inuyama He watched Gu Ran and Angers bickering from the side, then silently stood up, like a disfavored older brother looking at his pampered younger brother.
The others in the room were also somewhat taken aback, because Angers' aura had been so overwhelming that it inspired a sense of awe. It was hard to imagine that he would banter with a little boy like a child.
In particular, Ryoma Genichiro and Miyamoto Shio, who had also taken classes at Kassel College, were seeing students speak to the principal like this for the first time.
Has the atmosphere at the main campus changed?
Gu Ran patted Inuyama He on the shoulder: "Luckily I saved you, otherwise you would have had to be loyal to your family and devoted to your teacher."
Kotono, Inuyama He's goddaughter, is very perceptive. She is a chess player and during the previous battle with Angers, she stopped her teammates who had mania from using rocket launchers. If a rocket launcher had exploded, this place would have been reduced to ruins.
Qin Nai immediately came to Gu Ran's side, bowed slightly to him to thank him for saving the family head, and then gently supported his arm.
Mimi, a socialite in the television industry, immediately came over and took Gu Ran's other hand.
“That’s right. I saved your family’s head, otherwise you would be carrying his coffin. He was hit by so many bullets, and there might be two pounds of bullets burning out when he’s cremated.” Gu Ran admired the two older sisters’ figures and smelled their fragrance. “You treated the principal the same way you treated me. The principal is old and might not be able to handle it, but I’m young!”
Angers dusted off his suit and glared at him irritably: "You've been here since early morning, haven't you? Why didn't you show up sooner?"
"When I arrived, I saw a machine gun set up there, so I immediately found cover for you, Principal!" Gu Ran pulled his hands out of the two beauties' arms and walked in front of Angers. "I was afraid you would get hurt, Principal!"
Yes, Gu Ran had already infiltrated this location during the day and placed the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God's mark. The bulletproof Hummer was also parked here; Gu Ran had carefully selected the bulletproof vehicle as cover.
"Damn, you saw the machine gun and had time to find an armored car for cover, but you didn't have time to take out the machine gun emplacement?" Angers asked, feigning anger.
Gu Ran followed his words and said, "Wouldn't that prove that someone wanted to kill the principal and Inuyama-senpai?"
Chapter 406 The Big Villain Appears
Everyone present was stunned. The retainers of the Inuyama family instinctively gripped their weapons, and his goddaughters also tightened their grip on their swords.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became unusually tense.
Ryoma Genichiro spoke first, asking, "Who, who wants to kill Inuyama-kun?"
"You don't deny that someone wants to kill the principal..." Gu Ran chuckled.
Ryoma Genichiro paused for a moment, then explained, "That's not what I meant. I meant... the Snake Clan didn't intend to kill the principal. Who would benefit from killing the principal?"
"Who will benefit... is it even a question?" Gu Ran looked around at everyone present and said, "The one who will benefit the most is, of course, the vice principal. He has wanted to be the principal for a long time so that he can change the school uniforms into swimsuits."
Angers nodded seriously: "Turning school uniforms into swimsuits is exactly the kind of thing that old scoundrel would do."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the two of them would still be in the mood to joke at this time.
Inuyama He glanced at Gu Ran, thinking to himself that this young man was quite cunning, deliberately calling him "Inuyama-senpai" in order to sow discord among the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
“Teacher, your student is indeed quite good.” Inuyama He said to Angers, “I understand the principles you mentioned before, but… I still have to be loyal to my family.”
He leaned close to Angers and whispered, "Go find that man. He's still alive. He knows everything."
Ang nodded, hugged Inuyama He again, and patted him hard on the shoulder.
Inuyama He then looked at Gu Ran and bowed to him: "Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Gu."
At the same time, the retainers of the Inuyama family immediately bowed to Gu Ran to express their gratitude for saving their lord.
"Oh my, senior, why are you being so formal with your thanks... If you're going to be so formal, why don't you just give me those two swords?" While everyone was bowing, Gu Ran immediately ran into the ruins and hugged Kotetsu and Ichimonji Norimune in his arms.
Both of these are ancient alchemical swords, extremely rare and hard to come by!
One is a wakizashi, and the other is a tachi; both are fine swords!
Inuyama He was stunned, seemingly not expecting Gu Ran to take advantage of the situation like this.
"What do you need so many knives for?" Angers asked, without stopping the student's behavior.
“Didn’t Senior Brother Chu’s Murasame break? I’ll find him a new one,” Gu Ran said.
Do you know where they are?
"I know, I'll tell you in a bit."
"No need, we don't need them yet. Let them play a little longer."
And so, the two ancient swords ended up in Gu Ran's hands, and Inuyama He showed no intention of taking them back.
Outside the door, there was suddenly the sound of tires screeching as they braked.
Gu Ran tilted his head and said to Angers, "Principal, the one who appears at this time is very likely to be the big villain. This ambush was really a brilliant move. Everyone present is related to Kassel College. As long as they are all dead, the Secret Party's reach will not be able to extend to the Snake Clan."
He didn't hide his words from those present; Inuyama He, Ryoma Genichiro, and Miyamoto Shio all heard him.
All three of them had ashen faces.
“If you can understand this, do you think I can’t?” Angers said calmly.
"Then, shall we use smashing a cup as a signal?" Gu Ran casually handed a sake cup to Angers. "Let's take down the mastermind behind it all!"
“No, now is not the time to kill. If we kill now, some people will object.” Angers threw the sake cup aside, and it smashed to pieces on the ground with a crisp sound.
He handed the suitcase to Gu Ran, who was standing next to him, and then strode outside.
Gu Ran, carrying a briefcase and two precious swords in his left hand, followed behind the principal and deliberately said, "Why don't we just beat them into submission? Aren't these gangsters violent fanatics who glorify violence?"
Angers said: "All violence can subdue the opponent without struggle, but it cannot make the opponent submit."
“I know that’s what Leo Tolstoy said, but those gangsters are uncultured,” Gu Ran said. “I only know that Raven said ‘violence begets violence,’ and Katarina also said ‘violence can solve everything.’”
Angers asked in confusion, "Who are those two people you're talking about?"
"Characters from League of Legends."
"..."
"Katerina also said, 'Only fools hesitate!'"
"Alright, alright, tell those gaming references to Lu Mingfei, don't mention them to me!"
"Principal, I didn't expect you to be a rogue teacher. You also have such cool tattoos on your back. Can you teach me how to tame gangsters? Is it like training a dog?"
"Alright, alright, stop provoking them. They are the heads of the family, people of standing, and they can't take that kind of provocation."
"A respectable person like him getting involved in organized crime, he's really not learning anything good..."
“Yes, yes, that’s very true. Don’t follow their example.” Angers agreed with this point.
The three family heads, including Inuyama He, also went out. They listened to Gu Ran and Angers' conversation and realized that they really didn't take the Snake-Headed Eight Families seriously at all.
This is what they mean by "if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too"?
Angers was not afraid of any further ambushes outside, and he pushed open the door of the Tamamo-no-Mae Club.
Outside the door stood a group of bodyguards in black suits, their hands inside their shirts, poised to draw their guns at any moment.
But at that moment, a soft shout came from inside the car, signaling the bodyguards around to make way.
Angers walked forward, leaned against the Rolls-Royce, and gazed at the bustling Tokyo night view: "Tachibana Masamune?"
Old Yin forced Tachibana Masamune to roll down the car window and bow very politely inside the car: "Nice to meet you. I hope you will take good care of me in the future." Angers took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, but couldn't find a light.
Gu Ran doesn't smoke, so he didn't have a lighter. In a flash, he took a Zippo lighter from one of the bodyguards next to him and lit the principal's cigarette.
After lighting it, he tossed the lighter back to the bodyguard, who was still dazed and fumbling with his trouser pocket, seemingly puzzled as to how his lighter ended up in the other person's hands.
Inuyama He was slightly taken aback. Gu Ran was also extremely fast. What puzzled him even more was how he knew that the bodyguard had a lighter.
Angers made no mention of the previous attack, exhaled a smoke ring into the night sky, and said calmly, "What exactly are you?"
"Does the principal doubt my background?" Tachibana Masamune said slowly.
"No, the principal just thinks you're a piece of trash," Gu Ran mocked from the side.
Enraged that the former patriarch of the Snake Clan dared to mock him like that, the bodyguards around him felt provoked and immediately drew their swords and guns, surrounding Gu Ran.
Gu Ran simply chuckled, showing no fear whatsoever.
Angers raised his hand, stopping Gu Ran from continuing his mockery.
"Step back." Tachibana Masamune stopped his bodyguards and continued to surround Gu Ran and Angers.
“Your resume is only clear for the last twenty years. Twenty years ago, nobody knew you. It was like you fell from the sky. But you managed to stir up such a storm in Japan. You are indeed a big ‘thing.’” Angers continued, puffing on his cigar. “In the past century, only two people have been able to forcibly unite the Japanese underworld. One is me, and the other is you. I established the Japanese branch of Kassel College, and you destroyed the organization I established and raised the banner of the Snake Clan again. Perhaps you are worthy to be my enemy.”
"Isn't it beneath your identity as an educator for the principal to speak like that in front of the students?" Tachibana Masamune did not answer directly, but instead changed the subject.
“My student just called me a rogue teacher, but he knows that going into the underworld is not a good thing,” Angers said calmly. “And you were a rogue to begin with, and I used to be one too. We can be frank with each other.”
