The Dragon's Syndicate

Legendary beasts walk amongst us, inhabiting the bodies of humans. Plucked from her small town after a merit-based admission, Vanna finds herself on a luxury bullet train heading for the most prestigious university in the world. But after a catastrophic crash that derails the train, she is transported to the headquarters of Golden Enterprises, run by Quynh Lê himself, the ultra wealthy and charismatic CEO—the one who sponsored the university program and the now-destroyed train. Surrounded by strange sights, like a man with fluffy tiger ears atop his head, Vanna is questioned as to what actually happened on the night of the explosion. Why was she the only survivor? How did she escape without a scratch? Quynh, after confirming her lack of knowledge of the incident, reveals the truth. Vanna is the latest incarnation of one of the most powerful divine beasts and guardians of Earth, the Golden Phoenix. As for Quynh... he is the Red Dragon, the centuries old lover of the previous Golden Phoenix.
