Chapter 367 Norton finally died, the guide Nono
Lord Wa did not expect that the Chen family, which she had set as her target, would attract so much hatred that they even provoked Lu Mingfei, the strongest half-blood who had a record of killing two Dragon Kings alone. It was simply like sending a pillow to someone when she was sleepy.
After briefly understanding where the dispute between Lu Mingfei and the Chen family came from, Wazhu also felt that it was a bit of a coincidence. What she didn't expect was that the head of the Uesugi family actually had the blood of the Chen family.
"If you need anything, please feel free to ask. The Zhou family will try its best to provide all the support within its capacity." Lord Wa even lent out the Zhou family's most precious treasure, so there was no need to show extra sincerity. She believed that Lu Mingfei would understand.
Lu Mingfei knew that she was seeking flexibility. It was after she came to power that the Zhou family gradually kept up with the times and developed better and better. However, some old people who were conservative and still complacent were seriously hindering the progress of the oriental hybrids. She wanted to break this shackle.
But she represents a mixed-blood family, a remnant of the old era. If she is not careful, she may be killed by the ships of the new era, so she dare not take that step lightly.
So, since we can't actively welcome the ship of the new era, let the ship of the new era take over...
Wait, this topic is getting dangerous!
Lu Mingfei stopped his wandering thoughts in time, thanked Lord Wa and the Zhou family for their strong support, and talked about some other trivial matters such as family matters. He did not stay any longer and said goodbye and left.
Lord Wa remained in the inner house, holding a cup of tea and watching Lu Mingfei and the others leave. When Zhou Minhao came back, she had already put down the teacup and took out a game console from somewhere and started playing.
Zhou Minhao looked at the head of the family who acted serious in front of others but was an internet-addicted girl behind her back, and felt very annoyed that he had forgotten to tell Lu Mingfei to find some time to exchange gaming skills with Wazhu and try to make her cry.
As if she could hear the sigh in his heart, Wazhu suddenly looked up and looked at him suspiciously: "Are you thinking of something impolite?"
"No, no, how could that be?" Zhou Minhao stood at attention instantly, shaking his head like a rattle: "Lord Wa, you know me well. I am loyal to you, and the heavens can bear witness to my loyalty!"
"Tsk." Wazhu glanced at him, then looked away and continued playing the game. She ordered, "If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Mingfei will probably cause trouble for the Chen family. Will you choose to go back to Kunshan to sell hairy crabs or continue to follow Lu..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Minhao answered: "I'm going with Lu Mingfei!"
"Also, I make semiconductor wafers, not hairy crabs."
"It's up to you. Just be careful. You're already an adult, so don't act so recklessly. You almost lost your life." Lord Wa waved her hand, signaling him to go away.
Zhou Minhao retreated with a chuckle, but he was secretly delighted in his heart, as he finally had something big to do.
In Kunshan, eight-legged crabs are everywhere, but two-legged hybrids and four-legged dragons are extremely rare.
Ever since he took over the Kunshan business, he had to run around looking for some half-bloods to do. Now that he was sent to "protect" Lu Mingfei, he had triggered several important tasks at once.
Now he is the most handsome guy in the family group, and none of his former competitors can compete with him anymore.
He returned to his room with a smile and continued to pretend to be a patient and stayed indoors.
Many people saw him fighting to the point of death last night. Even with the healing elixir, he wouldn't be able to recover his mobility so quickly. In order not to expose Lu Mingfei's "omnipotence", he could only put up with it.
Many forces are now focusing on the mountain city. An earthquake announced the revival of the King of Bronze and Fire. One night later, the Zhou family, the Tang family and Kassel Academy jointly announced the death of the King of Bronze and Fire. The alchemical treasure that was originally coveted only by bounty hunters has also entered the eyes of various forces.
The bones, blood and horns of the dragon clan are hard currency in the world of mixed-bloods, equivalent to real gold and silver in the human world. When people heard that Lu Mingfei chopped the next-generation dragon servant into pieces with one sword, and turned it into ashes and scattered them all over the river, they all sighed and lamented that this young man was wasting such a gift.
Last time in Japan, the White King's dragon bone cross was burned. Fortunately, this time another dragon servant took Norton's dragon bone away, otherwise it would be heartbreaking again.
However, even though they were tempted by these things, they did not dare to take action. The Zhou family had already put out the Dragon-Breaking Platform. If someone was shameless enough to want to get a piece of the pie, the baby-faced old woman would really kill people.
Now many people have contacted the Tang and Zhou families, and they are all discussing buying some of the treasures left by the Dragon King Norton with a large sum of money after the Bronze City is opened.
There is no need to worry about the Dragon King's body, but the alchemical creations and knowledge he left behind, and even a copy of the dragon clan's history in the Bronze City, are also of great benefit.
However, just as all the forces were rubbing their hands and waiting for the Tang and Zhou families, Kassel Academy, and Lu Mingfei, who would take the lion's share, to divide up the Dragon King's inheritance, a piece of bad news suddenly came.
The Bronze City was buried again!
Just as Lu Mingfei left the Zhou family base and headed for the research ship where Professor Mans and others were to discuss how to open the Bronze City, suddenly a loud bang came from under the river, followed by a seismic tremor very similar to last night, and the river surged and set off huge waves.
Everyone except Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi thought it was the Dragon King who had returned to life, and they were all ready to fight in broad daylight, but the Dragon King never showed up.
When the storm subsided, everyone discovered that the crack that was opened by the earthquake yesterday and led directly to the Bronze City had been filled up, and the Bronze City below could not be seen at all.
Professor Mans was originally very happy that Lu Mingfei came to discuss the exploration of Bronze City so early in the morning, but he never expected that his mood, which had just risen for a short while, would plummet to the bottom in an instant. Looking at the results displayed by various detection instruments, he felt like he was saying fuck.
The newly sent reinforcements and equipment are still on the way, but the Bronze City buried itself again. Is this... is this reasonable?
Professor Mans, who was skeptical, sent Ye Sheng and Caesar into the water again to use the Word Snake to detect the terrain. The result was that the Bronze City was not only buried again, but also sank dozens of meters. There were also many metal fragments in the rock layers in the middle. It was suspected that the Bronze City had activated the self-destruction program.
"What's that? If you can't win, just delete your account and run away?" Lu Mingfei was speechless when he heard the result. Looking at Professor Mans's annoyed expression, he also felt a little regretful.
"Oh my goodness! If only we had taken advantage of our victory last night and opened up Bronze City, now we've come away with nothing..."
Xia Mi looked at him from the side and rolled her eyes in her heart. He pretended to be a Taoist priest quite well.
Chu Zihang took the initiative to speak: "Not necessarily. If we rashly entered the Bronze City last night, it might have played into Norton's hands."
"Indeed, with the arrogance of the Dragon Clan, they would have blown up Bronze City long ago. They're only doing it now probably because Norton is completely dead." The middle-aged man from the Zhou family naturally stood on Lu Mingfei's side, patting him on the shoulder and telling him not to blame himself.
"Maybe that beast was waiting for us in Bronze City last night. If anyone gets in, it will drag you all down with it."
This is considered the traditional skill of the King of Bronze and Fire. If you can't defeat him, then Zhulong, who lives as long as the heaven and earth, will come. If you die, I die, and we all die together.
Seeing someone talking, Finger also spoke at the right time: "Yes, yes, Junior Brother, you don't want to open the gate of Bronze City and find Norton smiling and saying 'I've been waiting for you for a long time', and then get hit in the face with a Candle Dragon, right?"
Professor Mans also knew that there might be a trap in Bronze City, otherwise he would not have allowed anyone to go into the water last night and only dared to patrol back and forth on the river.
If he still had some doubts about Lu Mingfei killing the King of Bronze and Fire last night because he had not seen it with his own eyes, then the self-destruction of the Bronze City was enough to prove that Norton should really be dead.
It’s a pity about the dragon treasures inside. Although they can’t take the lion’s share, they can still gain a lot of benefits if they really open the Bronze City.
With a sigh, he shook his head and ordered his men to survey the situation and assess the difficulty of excavation.
Having said that, Professor Mans actually didn't have much hope. Not to mention the changes in terrain caused by the Bronze City's self-destruction, the fact that this place was too close to the dam and was a famous tourist attraction made it a complete fantasy to carry out large-scale underwater exploration and mining operations.
"Now that things have come to this, we can only try to rescue them." He sighed slightly, talked to Lu Mingfei and the people from the Tang and Zhou families for a few words, then turned and went to the captain's room, where there was a guest and a little guest.
Caesar, wearing a wet diving suit, lit a cigar and leaned against the side of the boat, slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, blurring Lu Mingfei's figure in his vision.
I don't know if he is too suspicious, but I always feel that all this is a bit too coincidental. Norton didn't die early or late, but just couldn't hold on and was killed after Lu Mingfei arrived. He even blew up the Bronze City before he died.
But he couldn't accuse someone of innocence without any evidence, and judging from his previous experiences, Lu Mingfei was indeed a person with a tendency to cause trouble, even more weird than the famous Detective Conan who killed people wherever he went.
After another big fuss but with no results, Caesar took a puff of his cigar and began to miss his crazy girlfriend.
If she were here, maybe things would go more smoothly.
but……
Glancing towards the captain's cabin, he frowned imperceptibly.
Last night, Nono's mother came and brought Nono's younger brother with her.
He met with them. Nono's brother was a little baby. He was of high descent but never grew up. He only had an English name, "Gates", and his nickname was "Key".
Nono's mother is a very beautiful woman, but she looks completely different from Nono and doesn't resemble him at all.
Caesar noticed that when Ms. Chen mentioned her daughter with a strange temperament, there was no tenderness in her eyes. When she communicated with him, she treated him as the young master of the Gattuso family and did not treat him as her daughter's boyfriend at all.
That’s right. After all, she is a stepmother, and the wife of the head of a large family. How could she possibly treat her stepdaughter as her own?
Caesar had lived in the upper class since he was a child, and was accustomed to seeing the messy things happening in the homes of the so-called big shots.
He knew that Nono had a very tense relationship with his family, just like he had with the old guys in the Gattuso family, but he was the only heir of the family, and no matter how excessive his actions were, the elders could only forgive him with a smile.
But Nuonuo is different. She is really not liked by her family. The two are mutually exclusive, so she is unwilling to return home during the holidays and would rather travel around the world.
I don’t know whether the Chen family will interfere when Nuonuo and I get married in the future.
It shouldn't happen. The marriage between the eldest daughter of the Chen family and the young master of the Gattuso family is a marriage of arrangement even if it is a free love relationship. As long as the Chen family is not stupid, they will try their best to promote this matter.
"Tsk." Caesar felt a little dissatisfied when he thought that his marriage would inevitably be tainted with the smell of money.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Are you worried about something?"
Turning around, he saw that it was Lu Mingfei who had walked up to him at some point, followed by a beautiful red-haired girl.
Like Nono, she has red hair and red eyes, and a pair of boyish eyebrows, but Eri's expression is not as lively, and her temperament is colder. Caesar didn't even overlap her figure with Nono in a trance.
Smoking in front of Lady was not a gentlemanly act. He casually put out his cigar on the box beside him, stood up straight and said, "No."
He was quite curious as to why Lu Mingfei would take the initiative to find him.
They did have a brief collaboration in Japan before, but they soon separated and had no contact afterwards. I really don't know why he came to me.
Lu Mingfei had no intention of keeping the topic in suspense and went straight to the point: "I'm planning to go to Beijing in a couple of days to visit the Chen family. Do you want to ask your girlfriend to come with you?"
He said this calmly, but Caesar could sense a strong malice in it.
This is... the rhythm of a bad guest coming to your door.
Glancing at Eri, who still hadn't figured out what the two were talking about, Caesar asked, "Because of the head of the Uesugi family?"
Uesugi Yue has been expelled from the Snake Eight Families and has no plans to return, so the current head of the Uesugi family is still Eri, and it is not wrong to call her that.
The reason why he asked this was because when Finkel was freely gathering intelligence, he shared a piece of gossip with him, that is, Uesugi Yue's mother's surname was Chen, she was a French nun and half Chinese.
Caesar didn't know where Finkel got this gossip from, but when he heard Lu Mingfei say that he was going to the Chen family, he subconsciously recalled this information.
"That's part of the reason." Lu Mingfei nodded. "I'm not familiar with the Chen family, so I need a guide."
"Why Nono?" Caesar frowned. He didn't like putting his woman in danger.
No matter what, the Chen family is a prominent family with countless mixed-race people in the family. Just from the few words that Nuonuo occasionally mentioned, it can be sensed that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Chen family, and every one of them is a pervert.
Except her.
Lu Mingfei lifted a strand of Eri's red hair and said calmly, "Just based on their common features, you should be able to guess a thing or two.
I plan to check the Chen family's genealogy and find some trouble with them. It will be much smoother with Chen Motong's help."
This is a lie. With Lu Mingfei's ability, if he wants to find something, he can just use a Word Spirit Snake to scan the entire area. If he wants to ask something, he can just use a Word Spirit Dream Tapir or Word Spirit Senluo. He can even confess the embarrassing incident when he watched a widow taking a bath as a child. There is no need for profiling at all.
He called her over just to pull her and Caesar to his side first, and find an opportunity to let Su Enxi help check them to see if there is anything special.
Caesar is the young master of the Gattuso family, and is hailed as the future emperor who will lead the family to glory. He is placed with such high hopes, but his spirit is a Kamaitachi, and his combat power is not that high. He is like a professional background board. Who would believe that there are no other elements?
As for Nono, she has the same color as Eri, so what other reason is there?
Caesar raised his eyes and glanced towards the captain's cabin, but did not rush to refuse or agree: "It depends on her opinion."
"Then please tell me."
