“Who are you?” Clive looked at the man who walked out of the back room.

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Byron. I’m a teacher at Zhengyang First High School.” The man pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Seeing that Clive still had a look of disbelief on his face, Byron took out a certificate from his pocket.

After seeing the clear school emblem on it, Clive’s expression eased up.

“Brother Clive, don’t worry. Teacher Byron has also helped our family a lot.”

Then Nicole pointed to the entire room and said, “Even this house was built by teacher Byron. And since he came, no one has dared to bully our family anymore.”

Hearing this, Clive stretched out his right hand and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. I wanted to do this too.”

After shaking hands, Byron suddenly began to look at Clive carefully.

“You’re also a freshman in First High School. I seem to have seen your picture on the enrollment list.”

Hearing this, Nicole said excitedly, “Is this true? Brother Clive, we’re going to the same school!”

“Of course. As an older brother, I can’t be worse than my younger sister, right?”

Hearing this, Byron seemed to be thinking about something and then said, “You must have heard that there are four major sects in our first high school. So I’m here today to invite Nicole to the north wing.”

“North wing? Isn’t the north wing a place that those rich kids stay? So why would they like someone like Nicole, who is a hybrid?”

Byron revealed a disdainful smile and said, “That’s just some people’s malice toward them.”

“As the saying goes, the poor nourish the evil, and the rich nourish the good. These rich kids don’t care about a lot of things, and they don’t care about racial issues. But, moreover, they are very generous.”

After saying that, Byron pointed at the newly painted walls around them and said, “Isn’t this the best proof? Not every new student has such benefits.”

Clive disagreed with Byron’s words, but he still respected Nicole’s opinion.

Nicole saw Clive’s gaze and was silent for a moment. Finally, she said, “Brother Clive, which wing do you plan on joining?”

Clive stroked her head and smiled. “You don’t have to think about me. Just choose what you want.”

Hearing this, Nicole finally made up her mind. “I want to join the north wing.”

“Alright, then I’ll put you on our north wing’s list. You won’t regret it in the future.”

“After the matter is settled, I won’t stay any longer.” With that said, Byron walked out of the house.

After he left, Nicole said mysteriously, “I’ll take you to a secret base.”

Then she pulled Clive and ran out of the house.

The two of them ran for more than ten kilometers.

Finally, they came to a small hill in the suburbs.

Looking at Nicole, who was so excited that she did not even breathe heavily, Clive could not help but sigh in his heart. The flesh of a hybrid was overbearing as expected of someone who inherited the blood of all kinds of fierce beasts.

Nicole pulled Clive to the top of the slope. She took out a small shovel from a pile of leaves and began to dig.

After digging for two to three minutes, there was a sudden sound of metal colliding.

Nicole brushed away the layer of floating earth above, revealing a ring. When she pulled it open, a long ladder was shown.

“Yo.” Clive could not help but reveal a curious expression.

Clive’s feet landed on the ground.

The entire small room suddenly lit up, revealing all kinds of decorations inside.

There were pink bears and all kinds of windmills. The entire room had a pink style.

After Clive looked at the various decorations in the room, he realized that this secret base was a modified submarine.

But how did the submarine come onto land? Could it be that Zhengyang used to be an ocean?

Clive extinguished this idea as soon as it appeared. The changes were all calculated according to geological time.

The period was measured in hundreds to thousands of years, and the submarine was only around one to two hundred years old.

He continued to explore the other cabins of the submarine.

Clive finally discovered the reason. He saw a massive scratch on the lower part of the submarine’s bulkhead.

It went through the entire submarine. It could be imagined that the submarine had been hit by a ferocious beast with terrifying strength and landed in this place.

Thinking of this, Clive could not help but click his tongue.

The nearest river to Zhengyang city was also more than ten kilometers away. Had this strike sent hundreds of tons of heavy objects flying for more than ten kilometers?

How powerful was this strike?

At first, Clive was proud of his growing strength. But now it seemed like he was a frog at the bottom of a well.

If these ferocious beasts had such strength, how terrifying would the mighty figures who defeated them and protected humanity be?

It seemed like the words ‘one punch can shatter mountains and rivers, and cause rivers to flow backward’ were not an exaggeration.

After playing with Nicole for a while in the house, Clive remembered the purpose of this trip.

He said, “I know why you can’t practice the technique your father left behind.”

“Why?” Nicole asked hurriedly.

“Because of your bloodline.

“Your father must be a powerful hybrid, a dragon-type draconic beast’s bloodline.

“Only those who have this bloodline can practice it with half the effort and twice the results.

“And if there is no one with the corresponding bloodline, unless they are extremely talented, it will be twice the effort and half the results.”

Hearing this, Nicole’s eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly said in a self-confident manner, “It’s okay. I believe that there will definitely be better things in the future.”

“Of course.” Clive patted Nicole’s head and comforted her. “The advantage of a mixed-blood is that part of the fierce Beast’s bloodline. I believe that you will definitely awaken the power within, far surpassing your father.”

“I will definitely be able to do that.”

Just as the two were talking, a rustling sound came from outside, as if something was scraping the ground.

Clive secretly poked his head out.

He saw a group of raptors outside the submarine.

They were not the ancient raptors from the dinosaur era. 

They were some modern birds that showed signs of atavism, and these fierce beasts were even stronger than the ancient raptors.

And the most important thing was that they could fly because they were modern birds that had atavism!

Why were there fierce beasts here? Could it be that the town in the Fifth City Circle did not successfully suppress the Beast Tide?

Many questions arose in Clive’s heart, but he did not have time to think about it now, so he quickly went back in.

He whispered to Nicole, “Hurry up and call the police with your cell phone, and tell them not to make a sound. If anything happens, I’ll protect you.”

Suddenly, there was a thud outside the submarine. A raptor landed on it and began to rummage through the soil.

Clive and Nicole held their breath and waited quietly for them to leave..
