Chapter 92: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 38

Immediately after, he seemed to realize his lapse, sat back on the sofa, controlled his emotions, then uttered two words: "Sorry."

Li Ang didn't take his behavior to heart and stated the answer directly: "Of course it's Odin, but your father's current state… isn't too good."

High EQ: isn't too good.

Low EQ: Death Servant puppet.

Chu Chu Zihang could naturally hear Li Ang's implied meaning.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and asked: "Could you kindly tell me how you came to know this?"

"I escaped from Odin," Li Ang said, using the pre-prepared excuse, "otherwise why else would He send Death Servants to hunt me?"

Although Li Ang knew Odin was after his alchemy, others didn't know that.

So naturally, he could make up whatever he wanted.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Chu Chu Zihang's eyes flickered with understanding.

He did harbor some curiosity about how this man had broken free from Odin's control.

But recalling the intelligence reports describing the man's Word of Power, Chu Chu Zihang knew the man before him was far more complex than he appeared.

Thinking of this, he voiced another hidden question: "Why didn't you tell the Academy?"

"That's because there's a traitor inside your ranks."

"?"

Chu Chu Zihang's eyes flashed with shock—he never expected to hear such an answer.

Before he could ask further, Li Ang threw out another bombshell: "I have a way to lure Odin out."

Remembering the old scheming ways of the King of Sky and Wind, Li Ang added: "Probably."

"Will you come with me then?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Chu Zihang answered firmly: "Yes."

"When?"

He had doubted whether Li Ang was lying.

But what if?

What if it was true?

Chu Chu Zihang didn't want to miss this chance.

Seeing the original novel's ferocious figure already won over, Li Ang couldn't help but smile: "No rush—I still need to prepare."

Hearing this, though Chu Chu Zihang felt a pang of disappointment, he knew that just the two of them couldn't stand against the Norse King of Gods.

Of course, he didn't know Li Ang possessed a Career Panel, nor that Li Ang planned to recruit other Long Wang as allies.

After calming his agitated emotions, Chu Chu Zihang pulled out his phone: "Let's exchange contact information—you can reach me if anything comes up."

Li Ang had no objection.

Just as their conversation ended and Chu Chu Zihang was about to leave, a knock came at the door.

Li Ang stood up and went to open it.

There stood an elderly man with silver-white hair, dressed in a sharp suit.

"Li Ang?"

The elder sized up Li Ang, then called out his name.

Li Ang quickly identified the visitor: "Headmaster Angre?"

"Actually, I'm Flamel."

"Come in, Headmaster Angre," Li Ang ignored the elder's words, stepped aside to let him enter.

As soon as Angre stepped inside, he saw Chu Chu Zihang sitting on the sofa: "Looks like you two are getting along well."

Though he said this, he couldn't help feeling curious inside.

After all, the Academy originally assigned Chu Chu Zihang to accompany Goodrich solely to protect the latter's safety—not to have him alone in Li Ang's room like this.

But Li Ang had no intention of repeating his earlier words to Angre.

Chu Chu Zihang could be won over; Angre could not.

If this bloodthirsty Dragon Slayer learned Li Ang planned to recruit Long Wang, he would almost certainly turn hostile.

This was also one reason Li Ang hadn't gone straight to find Nottun.

Upon seeing Angre, Chu Chu Zihang immediately stood: "Headmaster."

Then he turned to Li Ang: "I'll take my leave."

With that, Chu Chu Zihang walked out of the presidential suite.

Seeing this, Angre, though curious, knew well what his purpose was this time.

He handed Li Ang the documents in his hand: "This is the most the Academy can offer."

"Take a look."

After briefly flipping through them, Li Ang's face showed a hint of surprise.

The Cassell Academy was surprisingly generous.

The documents in his hands covered everything—from basic alchemy principles to rare alchemical swords and blades.

Though they didn't include the alchemical matrix beneath Cassell that amplified Word of Power, nor the Nibelungen Project's advanced alchemy.

Still, they far surpassed Li Ang's original copy of "Introduction to Alchemy."

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled out the pre-prepared handwritten copy of "Introduction to Alchemy" and handed it to Angre.

"This is all the alchemy I possess—please deliver it to Master Flamel for me, Headmaster Angre."

Here, Li Ang paused, then asked: "Headmaster Angre, you must have another task for me, right?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch—Li Ang didn't believe Cassell Academy was some benevolent benefactor.

As expected, after hearing Li Ang's words, Anger's face broke into a smile: "Are you interested in joining the Cassell College?"

"Of course, not as a student, but directly into the Executive Department."

Indeed, Anger had noticed the strength Li Ang had demonstrated earlier.

To him, identity and origin meant nothing—as long as one could slay dragons, they were a usable blade.

For Anger, Li Ang was a blade sharp enough.

Faced with the old man's invitation, Li Ang fell silent.

After a long while, he spoke: "Thank you, Chancellor Anger, for recognizing my strength."

"But I decline."
