Chapter 167: Glory

Returning to Unicorn Apartments, Li Mochen indeed found a large crowd of protesters gathered in front of the lobby, numbering around two to three thousand. This made the apartment security guards nervous, and the government had also dispatched a large number of police to maintain social order and traffic flow in the area.

Li Mochen's 'Otto I' was escorted into the garage by over a hundred police officers and twenty apartment security guards. They set up a sturdy cordon along both sides of the road to block the impact of the protesters.

However, by the time this heavy off-road vehicle drove into the garage, the outside was already covered with rotten eggs, tomato juice, banana peels, and even dog feces—

Li Mochen got out of the car holding his nose, utterly disgusted. It wasn't until he saw Angela that his mood improved slightly.

Beside the girl was the apartment's property manager, who had come to express condolences. But Li Mochen noticed a hint of resentment in his eyes.

The protesters outside had clearly disrupted the operation of Unicorn Apartments and the lives of its residents.

Li Mochen could only pretend not to notice. After exchanging a few words with the manager, he took the elevator with Angela.

As soon as they returned to the top floor, Angela revealed new information about 'Dragon's Might'.

"You mean the Van Derrick family has hired the top astrologer on the East Coast?"

"Yes, her name is Claudia Brown. She is not only a highly skilled astrologer but also an excellent medium. In the circle of astrologers, she is highly regarded by many."

Angela frowned slightly, with a hint of worry: "This is something I didn't expect—that the Van Derrick family would hire Mrs. Brown to perform divination for them. If that's the case, the three parts you have might not be safe."

Li Mochen, however, laughed: "If that's the case, there's no need to worry. I have my ways to deal with it."

His 'Divine Fortune Purple Gold Tower' had always been able to suppress divination methods like Zi Wei Dou Shu. As long as it had enough merit light, he didn't fear being divined.

In Li Mochen's view, Western astrology was no different in essence from Zi Wei Dou Shu, and the result would likely be no exception.

Seeing that Angela was clearly still worried, he directly changed the subject: "Isn't it strange? Most of the other parts of Dragon's Might are in the hands of the government, aren't they? Why is the Van Derrick family going to such lengths to find them?"

"Of course, because they haven't given up hope. Didn't I tell you before? There are seven holy weapon-grade replicas of Dragon's Might in this world, and one of them is in the hands of the Van Derrick family."

Angela explained: "So for them, the other parts of Dragon's Might are irrelevant. As long as they have the most important bolt, trigger, and firing pin, they can assemble a complete Dragon's Might."

"I see—"

Li Mochen's eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtful.

"There's another thing worth noting."

Angela continued: "FBI's Edmund Bederman found out that on the night before Hancock was killed, a stranger was everywhere inquiring about his whereabouts. It should be a young man, under 22, who is very familiar with America's underworld."

Li Mochen's mind finally tensed slightly. But his face showed no sign of it.

"Thank you, Angie. But there's really no need to worry too much. I'll handle the loose ends regarding Dragon's Might. Actually, there's another matter where I need your help."

Li Mochen said solemnly: "I want to know which four demigod dragons the dragon bloodline inherited by the Wiltonshtan family comes from, and which Titan god's bloodline they inherit. If possible, it would be best to have the genealogies of the Hohenstaufen and Wiltonshtan families."

He felt that after absorbing the essence contained in the dragon blood, the dragon bloodline power within him had further strengthened. The possibility of it becoming dominant before level seven had become infinitely large.

But he must take the initiative in this process, finding the most suitable among the four dragon bloodlines. Otherwise, it would be harmful rather than beneficial to him.

"The dragon bloodline inherited by the Hohenstaufen family?"

Angela looked at Li Mochen with surprise: "Didn't your mother tell you, Amo?"

Li Mochen shook his head. At least in the original owner's memories, he found no corresponding recollection.

"Alright, I can recite the genealogies of these two families for you. Regarding your family's four demigod dragons, seven demigods—ah, I misspoke, not your family, but the Wiltonshtan and Hohenstaufen families—"

Angela found a seat at the dining table and began writing on a sticky note: "First, your ancestor is the Greek primordial sun god, Hyperion the High-Traveler. He was the son of the earth mother goddess Gaia and the primordial king of gods Uranus, one of the twelve Titans, and the father of the second-generation sun god Helios, the moon goddess Selene, and the dawn goddess Eos. According to your family's legend, Hyperion once shed a drop of divine blood during a divine war with the Norse gods, which fell upon your family's female ancestor, thus giving rise to the Hohenstaufen family. Later, the Hohenstaufen family also had some entanglements with the Norse gods, with four warriors entering Odin's Valhalla to become immortal legendary warriors."

"After that, the Hohenstaufen family formed blood ties with the dragons that once roamed the land and sky. The first was the Silent Magic Dragon Patrick, the second was the Sacred Dragon Oswald, the third was the Star Dragon Adelaide, and the fourth was the Forest Dragon Sylvester. They all preserved their power and will within your bloodline."

"The one canonized as a saint by the Church was Rudolf von Hohenstaufen, a legendary warrior close to the demigod rank. He once participated in the campaign against the Calamity Dragon God Desfalk and, with the help of the Church's holy artifact, cut off Desfalk's head."

"Then the demigod ancestors of the Hohenstaufen family were Conrad III and Conrad IV, Frederick I Barbarossa—the famous Emperor Barbarossa—as well as Henry VI, Frederick II, and Conrad V. In that era, your bloodline power reached its peak. The most outstanding were Emperor Barbarossa and Emperor Frederick II, who were said to have touched the divine authority at certain times, fighting against the Church at its full strength without falling behind—"

"This is a family of incomparable glory. For this reason, the Hohenstaufen family was suppressed by the Radiant Church for over a dozen centuries. It wasn't until the ninth-generation ancestor of the Wiltonshtan family, Philip Wiltonshtan, gave up the Viscountcy of Wiltonshtan and crossed west to America that your family rose again, becoming one of the most distinguished noble families in this land. And this ancestor of yours was also the first demigod of the Wiltonshtan family."
