Chapter 405: Principal, this is the stuff you want, hurry up and get it while it's hot
"Mans, long time no see." Principal Ange smiled and greeted his old subordinates. "And Ye Sheng, Aki, it's really hard for you to run around everywhere."
These two people had just been kidnapped and rescued in Japan. After returning to China, they went to the mountain city and were almost served by two dragons. Now they have to face the capital city head-on. To be honest, their experiences are richer and more exciting than those of some senior executives.
Ye Sheng and Ya Ji knew their own business and won by doing nothing. They smiled modestly and said, "It's not hard at all."
Ange looked at the young Latino girl. Before he could ask, Selma bowed nervously:
"Intern Selma, responsible for clerical and liaison work. It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Principal!"
"I remember you, Selma. You almost got full marks in my 'Introduction to Dragon Family Genealogy'. I hope you get satisfactory results in this internship." Ange smiled gently and patted her thin shoulder.
"Also, there's no need to be so formal. Young people are the future of the academy. We, the pioneers, will eventually be overtaken by you, the newcomers."
These few words excited the Latino girl like two liters of chicken blood. He then turned to Mance and said, "Let's go."
"Principal, do you want to go to the hotel first or go directly to the branch base?" Mans asked as he led the way.
Ange shook his head gently: "No, where is Lu Mingfei? I want to go see him first."
"They are at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Chang'an Avenue. If you don't mind, I can go with you. It just so happens that Nuonuo is with them."
Ange glanced at Mance and didn't answer immediately.
His trip was for a very personal purpose, to settle old scores with the traitor who almost wiped out the first generation of the Lionheart Society, his former best friend and classmate.
He didn't want too many irrelevant people to be present in this matter.
But before he could refuse, Mans's personal cell phone vibrated.
He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. The caller was the head of the Chen family, Nuonuo's father.
Ange gestured for him to answer the phone first. Professor Mans made an apologetic gesture and walked a little further away to answer the phone.
They were a few steps away, but the people present were all mixed-race people with sharp eyes and ears. Even without the hands-free mode on, they could still vaguely hear a voice of suppressed anger and helplessness coming from the other end of the phone amidst the noisy airport.
Soon, the politeness and courtesy on Professor Mans's face faded, and a bit of embarrassment emerged. He hung up the phone after a few words.
"Is there something going on?" Ange looked at him.
Professor Mans sighed and told the story of how Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei broke into the Chen family manor, knocked out dozens of bodyguards, beat several brothers and sisters and stepmother into the hospital, and stole the keys. In an instant, the expressions on everyone's faces became a little tense.
He knew that Nuonuo had a rebellious personality, but he didn't expect her to do something so drastic. He also didn't expect Lu Mingfei to be directly involved in the internal affairs of the Chen family, and his methods were so... brutal and merciless.
Sure enough, young people are still too young.
"It seems that we have to go together." Ange smiled. Although he didn't want too many people to know about Friedrich's affairs, it didn't matter since he met him.
After all, slaying a dragon means dealing with blood and fire.
So, a group of five people got in the car and sped towards Chang'an Avenue.
At the same time, in the shopping mall near the hotel.
After returning from the research institute, Nono and Ling and their group finally found Lu Mingfei, Eiry and the others in a children's game hall.
The imagined scene of chaos and crying children did not appear.
On the contrary, the atmosphere in the store was warm and even a little dreamy, a scene that only existed before Nono left his mother.
Eri, wearing a bright red skirt, squatted on the ground, holding a stuffed toy in her hand, and teasing the child with her laughter.
Opposite her, Key was sitting on the ground wearing an extremely cute light green one-piece dinosaur suit. There was a small dragon head with soft horns on his hat, and a chubby little tail was dragging behind him.
The little guy seemed to really think of himself as a naive and cute baby dragon that had just traveled from prehistoric times. He cried "ya ya ya" and stretched out his hands to grab the plush toy, like a little dragon man learning how to hunt.
Lu Mingfei, dressed in a black gentleman's robe, squatted beside them, filming the playful scene with his phone: "See, I was saying this color suits him, right? It's much cuter than that tiger costume from earlier."
Xia Mi folded her arms and sat on a chair beside Chu Zihang. Hearing this, she couldn't help but complain: "Are you afraid that you will turn into Wu Song and get drunk and fight a tiger?"
Nuonuo stood at the door in a daze, speechless for a moment.
She had anticipated countless possibilities, and was even prepared to see Lu Mingfei bullying the key like a toy and making her cry. She had never imagined that it would be such a peaceful scene.
Key seemed to like this new outfit very much. He waved his chubby little arms wrapped in green velvet, giggled, and his big eyes sparkled.
That's the smile that only appears when I see her and play with her.
Suddenly, she saw Xiao Yaoshi swooping down like a dragon and trying to knock down the stuffed toy in Eiry's hand, but he was not as fast as Eiry, and his body lost balance and was about to fall face down on the ground.
She subconsciously stepped forward and wanted to rush over, but saw Lu Mingfei grab her and hold her in his arms.
The way Lu Mingfei held the child was so natural and skilled that he looked like a professional nanny straight out of a textbook, which made her unable to help but come up with an absurd guess.
Could it be that this guy has secretly received training to be a stay-at-home dad?
Just as this thought came to her mind, Lu Mingfei turned around and looked. Key was forced to change his perspective and also discovered Nuonuo standing at the door.
The familiar red hair made the little guy feel at home, but he immediately turned his head to look at Eri who had just stood up, who also had red hair and red eyes.
Key: Σ(°△°|||)︴
The little guy's brain obviously couldn't process such complicated information. His expression suddenly became confused, his little mouth slightly open, and his eyes moved back and forth between Nono and Eri, as if he was doubting his own eyes - how could he have two sisters?
Seeing that his brother looked like his CPU was about to burn out, Nuonuo stopped standing there and walked over to pinch his chubby cheeks.
"Little fool, I am your real sister."
As she spoke, she pulled Eri closer. When the two of them came together, they could see obvious differences in their facial features:
"This is your cousin."
Key's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally he shouted "hehe" twice.
Caesar couldn't help laughing when he saw the innocent and cute look of Key. Although he was not very good at dealing with children, this was Nono's younger brother, so naturally he liked him too.
He walked forward, leaned over, looked at the key with his charming ice-blue eyes, and tried to show his friendliest side:
"Hello, let's get to know each other formally. I'm Nuonuo's boyfriend, you can call me brother-in-law."
Of course, Key didn't understand the word "brother-in-law". He just stared blankly at this stranger with dazzling blond hair and a strong aura with his wide eyes.
Nuonuo elbowed him in anger: "Why are you joining in the fun? He can't even speak."
Although she said so, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. Obviously, this heartwarming scene relaxed her tense heartstrings a lot.
Finkel also came over and made full use of his funny talent of Cassel's No. 1 joke. He covered his eyes and mouth with his hands, made an extremely exaggerated face at the key, squinted his eyes, and stuck out his tongue.
Unfortunately, Yaoshi had just witnessed Xia Mi's dragon roar before, so how could he be scared by a loser? His expression remained calm, and he just felt that this person was so childish.
Fingal didn't take it seriously because he failed to scare the key. He just leaned over to Caesar and whispered, "Boss, Nono didn't deny the fact that you are this little guy's brother-in-law."
Caesar also reacted and smiled with satisfaction. Although Nono had agreed to be his girlfriend before and they had some intimate contact, he always had a sense of distance and illusion, as if she had never had any feet on the ground and was always floating in the sky. He was worried that one day she would suddenly run away from him.
After arriving in the capital, he finally understood the reason. It was because her family had left her with a deep psychological shadow. It just so happened that the Gattuso family, like the Chen family, was a profit-seeking family. She could not find the sense of security she needed in herself, so she gave people a distant feeling.
And now, the Chen family has definitely provoked the monster Lu Mingfei. In the future, just how to deal with Lu Mingfei will be enough to give them a headache, so the pressure lingering in her heart suddenly decreased, and her mood naturally became high.
Although Caesar felt a little frustrated that his relationship with Nuonuo became closer because of Lu Mingfei, as long as Nuonuo was happy, he didn't mind being overshadowed.
In terms of loyalty and righteousness, he is indeed far better than his stud father.
Just as he raised the corner of his mouth, Nuonuo elbowed him again.
Nuonuo reached out and took her brother from Lu Mingfei. The little hand touched her face, as if to confirm whether it was real by the feel. After confirming, she smiled cutely.
For a moment, the game hall was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Zero stood quietly aside, and a barely perceptible curve seemed to soften on his icy face.
However, at this moment, Lu Mingfei, who was smiling, moved his eyes slightly, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared in a flash. He turned his head to look at Xia Mi, who was putting the tiger-head hat picked by Eiry on Chu Zihang's head, and made a gesture to lift someone up.
After receiving the signal, Xia Mi stopped tormenting Chu Zihang and pulled him away first.
"Where are they going?" Finkel looked at them leaving behind bags of various sizes and leaving in groups, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Take the things." Lu Mingfei picked up the pile of clothes that the others had just bought and gave him two-thirds of them.
"Let's go. The old man will come to visit us later. Let's go to Caesar and have a cup of tea first."
…
Nibelungen, the king of the earth and mountains, no longer has the beautiful campus scene where Chu Zihang and Xia Mi staged their childhood sweetheart reunion. It has become desolate, dead, and broken, and time and space have taken on a strange distortion.
Broken bronze pillars stood obliquely on the charred earth. In the distance were silently roaring black mountains. The air was filled with dust and despair.
It was in this deadly place that Friedrich embarked on an endless escape.
Initially, Lu Mingfei deprived him of control of his body and arbitrarily handed it over to Xia Mi for safekeeping.
But later, His Majesty, the King of the Earth and Mountains, seemed to think that this was too easy for the traitor, or perhaps wanted to compensate the subordinates who were accidentally injured during his promotion and give them some fun, so he restored his ability to move and let the low-level Deadpools and sickle-weasels wandering in the ruins play a game with him -
Battle Royale of the Nibelungen!
In order to prevent him from losing his temper and committing suicide, Xia Mi deliberately planted a strong psychological suggestion in his mind, magnifying his desire to survive to the extreme, overwhelming all fear and pain, and making him never choose to end his life.
Then, she threw him into the train and sent him to those bloodthirsty monsters, asking them to take good care of him and make sure he didn't die.
For the surviving Deadpool and Kamaitachi, this suddenly appearing creature that exudes the breath of life and the smell of fear is the best toy and outlet for their endless and lonely years.
Especially since they were almost wiped out by the residual power of Xia Mi's evolution into a complete form, they were so scared that their bodies and minds almost collapsed at the same time, and they urgently needed an outlet to vent the unforgettable horror.
Thus, Friedrich's nightmare began.
He ran madly, dodging Deadpool's slow but powerful claws and avoiding the fierce attacks of the sickle-weasel group.
The bamboo cloth shirt had long since turned into tattered strips of cloth, and his body was covered with fine, deep scratches and bites that could be seen to the bone. Blood and dirt mixed together to form thick scabs.
None of these wounds were fatal, but the pain they caused was real and constant.
After running for an unknown amount of time, all the Deadpools chasing him suddenly stopped, then burst out at extreme speed, changing their previous cat-and-mouse-playing-with-a-mouse attitude and pinning him to the ground. They tied up his hands and feet with rusty chains, and pulled out a black bag from somewhere and put him directly in it.
He struggled hard, but it was of no avail. His mouth was blocked and he could only make "wuwu" sounds. Finally, he felt himself being lifted up and thrown into a train car, and then being transported to an unknown place.
When the train stopped, he heard two footsteps approaching the train. One of them, obviously a boy, walked up to him, picked up the bag containing him and took it outside.
With a "swish", the zipper opened, revealing Friedrich with his mouth blocked and his face covered with fear and blood. He looked at the two people in front of him in horror, as if he were looking at two demons.
He clearly remembered that he was thrown here to wait for Ange's arrival. Originally, he hoped that Ange would die in a plane crash when rushing to the capital, but now he hoped that he would teleport to his side right now and kill him quickly.
Xia Mi was a little puzzled when she saw that the old man suddenly became excited. Could it be that he had just awakened some incredible habit?
It turns out that foreigners are all perverts.
The stereotype became a little more serious. Xia Mi directly erased Friedrich's previous memory and implanted in him a memory of being captured and unable to resist, and was brutally beaten by Xia Mi and Chu Zihang in a mixed doubles match.
Then he asked Chu Zihang to drag him out and slightly modify the injuries on his body so that it could not be seen that he was attacked by Deadpool and Kamaitachi before waving his hands.
Chu Zihang took out a long black body bag, stuffed the unconscious Friedrich into it with swift movements, zipped it up, and then lifted it up easily.
The whole process was calm and efficient, without a trace of unnecessary emotion, and I didn't want to ask him what he had just experienced.
Xia Mi was very satisfied when she saw this. She put her hand into his empty palm and walked upwards staggeringly. When she left Nibelungen, she disappeared into the realm of Word Spirit and Dark Illumination.
…
In the presidential suite, Ange and his party were politely invited in by Caesar.
On the way here, Professor Mans was still thinking about how to tell Nono, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Nono holding a little dinosaur...
No, it was the key wearing a dinosaur costume. The little guy had a flush of excitement on his chubby face and was laughing non-stop.
Seeing Professor Mans and Principal Ange come in, Nono's body stiffened noticeably. She subconsciously held the key tighter and did not deliberately avoid the gaze of her mentor.
The people she least wanted to face now were the people in the academy, especially her own tutor, but who knew that they would come to her on their own initiative without even saying hello.
But she wasn't panicking. After all, when the instructor and the principal asked about it, she could just pass the blame on...
Forget it, he is my own brother after all, so I will take the blame.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's expression of being used to it, he guessed that this person was the one who brought the principal here, and he was speechless again.
When Ye Sheng and Ya Ji saw Lu Mingfei, their eyes showed some respect for their boss, but now they were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han. For the sake of future glory and wealth, they could not reveal their undercover identities, especially not in front of Boss Cao.
So, I just said hello.
"Principal Ange, long time no see. You are still in good health." Lu Mingfei smiled and handed Ange a cup of tea.
"It feels like three years since I last saw you." Although Ange was old, he still understood what Lu Mingfei meant.
"Haha, the one who knows me best is Angers." Lu Mingfei smiled and poured tea for the others.
Professor Mans sat next to Ange, facing two beautiful girls with red hair and red eyes who looked like twins. His eyes fell on the little dinosaur between them, and his eyes were slightly complicated.
"Teacher." Nuonuo held Yaoshi's shoulder with one hand to prevent him from moving and falling. She looked up at her mentor, knowing what he wanted to say, and spoke back directly:
"I know the consequences, but I don't want him to stay in that place anymore."
Because I have seen the light, I don’t want my brother to continue staying in the dark.
She spent most of the time in the Chen family feeling indifference, calculation, and being treated like a tool. She knew that feeling very well.
She had the ability to resist, but Key didn't. If she left him there, he would be eaten up one day.
"Nono, this is not something you can decide alone. It involves too many things." Professor Mans also had a headache. He certainly knew what kind of life Nono was leading in the Chen family, so he was particularly concerned about her at Kassel College. He also contacted other professors to ask them to help take care of her.
But the key is an extremely special individual, and it can be said that it has strategic significance in certain things.
Not only can he open the cemeteries and hatcheries of high-level dragons, but even the Dragon King's Nibelungen can't stop him.
To put it simply, it means being good at knocking on doors and unlocking them, but to put it more deeply, it means ignoring the permissions set by the manufacturer and forcibly gaining control of it.
The existence of the key involves many interests, and Nono alone, without Caesar in charge of the Gattuso family, cannot protect him at all.
He tried to persuade her, "Besides, taking care of a child is not as easy as you think, especially since the key can't grow up yet. It will be a lifetime..."
"Mance." A calm but powerful voice interrupted Professor Mance.
Ange hadn't known when to finish his small talk with Lu Mingfei. He put down his teacup, looked at Mans, and shook his head. "Let the Chen family resolve their internal affairs."
"But..." Mans wanted to say more, but he saw Ange's eyes turned to Nono and the key in her arms, with a slightly teasing smile belonging to an elder on his face:
“I believe Nono is capable of taking good care of her brother.
Besides, there's still a way... ahem, having the future heir of the Gattuso family take care of them is a good way to practice raising a child in the future.
As soon as these words were spoken, Nono's tense shoulders relaxed instantly and she looked at Angé with gratitude.
Although Caesar felt that the principal had said something impolite, he didn't take it too seriously.
"Don't worry, Professor. I will protect Nono and the key."
There was no curse or oath, just a promise between two men.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but exchange a glance with Finger after hearing this, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes -
Why the hell does this look like the son-in-law promising his father-in-law that he won't let his daughter and grandson down?
Professor Mans looked at Ange, then at Nono and Caesar standing behind him, and finally glanced at Eri who was playing with a small toy and keys, and shook his head helplessly:
"Forget it. There's an old Chinese saying that even an honest judge can hardly judge family affairs. I won't get involved in your affairs."
Nuonuo smiled as if to say "I knew it" when she heard that. Although Professor Mans was strict with his students, he was still very tolerant towards her as his direct disciple.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the presidential suite.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn over.
Zero, who was closest to the door, walked over and opened it.
Chu Zihang walked in first. He still had no expression on his face, like an assassin who had just carried out a successful assassination. The long black canvas bag in his hand looked quite heavy.
He walked into the living room and without further ado, plopped the bag onto the expensive carpet with a dull, solid thud.
A faint smell of blood emanated from it. Ye Sheng, Jiude Aki and Selma all remembered the rumors in the academy. They thought that the Lionheart Society's top killer had just become impatient and completed a mission, and even brought back the target's body.
Finkel had a strange look in his eyes, and was obviously thinking in the same direction.
Soon, Xia Mi flashed in from behind Chu Zihang. She saw Ange sitting on the sofa at a glance. A bright smile appeared on her face, and her eyes curved into crescents. Like a little fox with evil intentions, she said in a clear and pleasant voice with a hint of praise:
"Good afternoon, Principal! Here's what you ordered, freshly packaged and hot. Enjoy it while it's hot!"
