Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 468 Merchants and Warriors

"Frost, this is what you Gattuso deserve. Everyone knows your contribution to the cause of slaying dragons." Beowulf said.

Gattuso's family contributed the most money among the school's directors and also provided great assistance in some dragon-slaying operations. However, the custody of a dragon bone cross is not enough to recognize such an achievement.

There are other commendations, too, which Beowulf takes the opportunity to express.

"Although Caesar has entered the school board ahead of schedule, he has not yet truly graduated. Currently, there is no student in the academy who can compete with him for the Nibelungen Project. If possible, let him return to the academy someday."

Frost could hardly suppress the joy in his heart. He smiled a little flatteringly, but his thanks were sincere. "Thank you, President. I will let him return to the academy as soon as possible."

In the time it took to finish this sentence, something broke into the area where the vault was located.

Beowulf could not sense anything through the screen, but Frost, who was at the scene, could clearly feel the person coming. Some familiar spirit frightened him.

The transfer of the dragon bone cross is in progress, from the vault in the academy's ice cellar to the vault provided by the Gattuso family, with domino-like security doors one after another. Even if a dragon wants to break through to the core of the vault, it will take a long time, and the academy is able to do a lot of things in such a period of time.

"Seal the vault, block the vault!" Frost suddenly shouted.

The people present looked at Frost in confusion. They did not notice anything unusual. The Dragon Cross was still several security doors away from the core of Gattuso's vault. What did it mean to close it in advance?

"Norma, close the vault door completely and fuse the lock!" Frost gave the final order.

He ignored the lives of those who were transferring the Dragon Cross and wanted to completely close the vault.

As the order was given, the dominoes began to fall. All Norma had to do was to execute the order. Frost had the authority to give the order.

Beowulf's face turned pale. He was about to scold Frost for his mess, but he noticed that the dragon bone cross on the screen disappeared.

The place where the keel cross was supposed to be hung on the vehicle that transported it was now empty, whereas the keel cross was still there a second ago.

"Frost!" Beowulf asked in surprise. "What's going on?"

Frost didn't have time to answer Beowulf. All the metal doors were closed in a short time, along with the staff.

Fresh life is a necessary sacrifice for Frost at this moment. He wants to put something terrible into a cage and leave the dragon bone cross.

But that thing was too fast, so fast that no one could catch it. Frost was the only one at the scene who noticed the existence of that thing. Beowulf didn't quite understand it through the screen.

In just a few seconds, the fear and terror on Frost's face gradually turned into something else.

He took out his pistol and fired into the void, standing at the only exit to leave here. The door of Gattuso's vault did not retain the invisible existence.

"What the hell is going on, Frost!" Beowulf yelled.

Frost's gunfire suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the camera and opened his mouth towards Frost.

There was no sound, only the lips trembled and blood gushed out from the neck.

To Beowulf, everything seemed weird and terrifying. His rich combat experience allowed him to make some guesses, and through his guesses he could figure out what was going on.

Frost is dead, the confused staff reported on the screen.

It remains to be confirmed whether the Dragon Cross is in the vault.

Beowulf leaned back in his chair and asked Norma to play the video. It took less than a minute, and the process from Frost's facial expression changing to his death was only ten seconds.

What happened in these ten seconds?

Beowulf asks Norma to slow down the video to its limit.

He began to examine it bit by bit, trying to figure out what was going on.

The safe was being reopened on site, the lock core had melted, and the safe doors needed to be blasted one by one.

It doesn’t matter whether the trapped staff are alive or not; what matters is whether the keel cross is still there.

Beowulf tapped the keyboard slowly, not daring to miss any details.

Beowulf slowed down the video to check all the places where Frost's eyes were looking before his death, but still found nothing. Nothing appeared at all.

Nothing could be seen, including during the time before and after the dragon bone cross disappeared.

It seems that the Dragon Bone Cross disappeared out of thin air...

Before Frost died, he seemed to have something to say, and his lips trembled.

Beowulf watched the video over and over again. When Frost opened his mouth to speak, there were already bloodstains on his neck, which could only be seen after the video was slowed down.

That is to say, Frost had been attacked before he opened his mouth to speak, but everything happened too quickly.

"Norma, can you analyze what Frost's mouth is saying?" Beowulf asked.

"According to the analysis, there is a 99% probability that I seem to know you," Norma replied.

Beowulf breathed a sigh of relief, and was certain that in this short period of time someone had broken into the scene and done many things without leaving any trace, including killing Frost.

A dragon? Beowulf wondered.

But Frost said he seemed to know that guy, Xia Mi? Han Qiu? Beowulf instinctively thought of these two guys.

If you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem like it.

"Send an email to the school directors and elders, and send them this video. Inform them to come to the academy for a meeting within 48 hours." Beowulf said.

"Was the Gattuso family sent to Caesar Gattuso?" Norma asked.

"Yes, send it to Caesar Gattuso." Beowulf shook his head regretfully and said, "Let the bells ring and tell everyone of Frost Gattuso's death."

"Principal, this is against the rules. Frost Gattuso is neither a student nor a commissioner of the executive department," said Norma.

"But he was a warrior, and he died protecting the property of the academy. He was also a school director. Go ahead and ring the bell. There's no need to worry about these rules." Beowulf thought back to Frost's life and smiled calmly.

The businessman had a grand ending, showing decisiveness and fearlessness in the face of death.

Beowulf was a little curious. What was Frost thinking when he stood at the only exit with a gun, knowing that the other party was too powerful to reach him?

Do you think someone stole Gattuso's things? It's unlikely. Constantine's cross was only given to Gattuso for safekeeping, not given to him. After all, it still belongs to the academy.

It was also something from the secret party. Judging from his actions, Frost was only protecting the property of the academy and fighting the enemy to the death.

It was a little unexpected, and it didn't seem like something Frost would do.

But the facts are before our eyes and speak louder than words.
