Chapter 215, Renata and Herzog (Part )
At the same time, at the fork in the street, the door of an ultra-long luxury car was slowly opened, and an elderly man with white hair walked out.

Zhuo looked at him, and his first feeling was that it was strange.

This man has the features of an 80-year-old man and a 20-year-old young man. His tweed military uniform fits his tall body, his trousers are ironed straight, a purple silk scarf is stuffed into his collar, and his pure silver hair is combed back neatly. He looks like a young man in his twenties. But he is indeed old, with traces of time deep in his eyes, and his still handsome face looks like a mural that is slowly peeling off.

The first thought that came to my mind was, could this person be the legendary principal of Kassel College—Hilbert Jean Angers?

But on second thought, this person is sitting, not driving a flashy pink Maserati, so that shouldn't be the case.

The black-haired girl who walked out of the other door shortly after him, consciously standing one step behind the old man, further confirmed his thoughts.

Yabuki Sakura.

Tachibana Masamune.

Tachibana Masamune walked towards him slowly with a friendly smile on his face.

Looking at this most unpopular old man in "Dragon Clan", Utsunomiya Shuo couldn't help but sigh again and again at the power of the dragon blood gene.

Putting aside other aspects of Tachibana Masamune, just looking at his appearance, he is truly worthy of the dragon blood in his body. He has a straight nose, deep-set eyes, and clear facial lines, which are different from ordinary Japanese old men, but he has pure black pupils, and his every move has a strong Japanese flavor, like an old shogun of the old times.

It was a really friendly smile, so easy-going and kind that people unconsciously mistook him for an old man feeding pigeons in the park.

"はじめまして, Uto..."

When they were still a few steps away, Tachibana Masamune had already picked up the etiquette and raised his hand to hand it over, greeting them as they walked.

Drip—drip—

A sharp whistle pierced the sky, and a supercar several hundred meters away rushed over to get there before him, and with a tailspin, it just got stuck in the trunk of the extended Lincoln.

Tachibana Masamune stopped and blinked, looking at the uninvited guest.

She was also wearing a high school uniform. Her light golden hair was messy, probably blown by the wind, covering half of her eyes. There was no expression on her snow-white cheeks, and her lips were tightly pursed. In her hands were two plastic bags, one red and one blue. It was unclear whether she did it on purpose or if she accidentally took the wrong ones.

And, it looks a little familiar.

Tachibana Masamune narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and looked at the sloppy boy he visited, and found that he had walked up to him and was about to shake the hand he extended.

"It's time to go home."

The girl holding the plastic bag suddenly shouted for no reason.

It's not without reason. Zhuo can roughly understand what Ling is worried about.

"Hello, is there anything we can talk about later? We need to go home."

Then Zero said to Tachibana Masamune.

Utsunomiya Shuo, who was shaking hands with Tachibana Masamune, was stunned. He caught a glimpse of Tachibana Masamune staring at Zero with increasing confusion, and asked hesitantly, "So today is so slow, is it because you have to prepare a big meal?"

Then he looked at Tachibana Masamune with an apologetic look, "This...this old noble, please see..."

As he spoke, Utsunomiya Zhuo found that Tachibana Masamune's attention had been completely attracted to Zero. Although he controlled his expression very well and knew that Tachibana Masamune was confused, he still felt uncomfortable when he found someone staring at Zero. He moved to the left without leaving a trace, blocking Tachibana Masamune's sight and loosening their holding hands, and waved in front of him: "Old noble, are you still there?"

"You are so rude!" Utsunomiya Shuo turned around and criticized.

Ling, who was scolded by Zhuo for the first time, was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."

"What's the point of apologizing now? You've already bumped into someone. Get back in the car!"

Hearing this, Ling looked at his face and did not move.

When Tachibana Masamune, who was originally standing, heard the conversation between the two, his brain went blank in an instant, and countless thoughts gathered like a spider web and connected into a surface at this moment.

"Hello, little classmates." His expression suddenly became lively, revealing a gentle smile. He nodded to Zhuo first, "Hello, Utsunomiya-san," then he leaned over and looked past Zhuo to look at Ling behind him, "Hello, my little girlfriend~"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tachibana Masamune. I am currently serving as the head of the Snake Eight Clan. I have come here to pay a special visit to Mr. Utsunomiya."

"Oh. Hello, hello..." Zhuo responded proactively.

He rarely takes the initiative like this, but this time he had to do so.

Zhuo felt that Ling's behavior was too anxious, which was not like her style at all.

Zero is one of the survivors of Black Swan Port in 1991, and Tachibana Masamune (Herzog) is the leader of Black Swan Port. They knew each other a long time ago. But now, after so many years, both of them have changed a lot.

First up is Tachibana Masamune, the real Herzog was definitely older, and while Tachibana Masamune is old, he’s only in his sixties.

But Ling should be aware of his identity. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so anxious. Zhuo could even sense her nervousness.

Zero is actually nervous!

Next is Zero. She was not a particularly pretty girl when she was young. The prettiest girl in Black Swan Harbor was Horgina. At that time, Zero was called Renata, thin and small, with freckles on her face. After her bloodline awakened, her appearance and figure changed drastically. In the "Rhine" incident at the Russian screw border, she was contaminated by the blood of Zero who used his body to help her resist the explosion, and her appearance was forever frozen in that period.

It can be said that if you don't know the whole story, no one would associate her with Renata many years ago. Age, appearance, identity... are completely inconsistent.

But Herzog's wisdom was beyond his comprehension, and he was suspicious... For a suspicious person, guessing about something did not require evidence, a personal thought was enough.

After Utsunomiya Shuo responded enthusiastically, Tachibana Masamune did not reply immediately, but looked at Zero behind him with a smile.

That smile was kind and friendly, like a ray of sunshine in the harsh winter, and no one could find any fault with it.

Quiet.

The aroma of the grilled fish shop on the corner spread to the temporary parking intersection. The setting sun in the west shone on everyone's face, lengthening the shadows of Utsunomiya Shuo and Tachibana Masamune, and a petite girl stood in the shadows.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and even each other's breathing and someone's heartbeat.

The heartbeat was very strong, like a very powerful motor.
