Chapter 409 Caesar, you don’t want your uncle’s money to go to waste, do you?
Although Yao Yao fell asleep and couldn't be entertained by everyone for the time being, the fact that Xia Mi brought a camera with her when she took Chu Zihang home to get something became the focus of everyone's gossip.
Nuonuo noticed this morning that after one night, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang had become much closer.
Originally, Xia Mi called Chu Zihang "Senior Brother" just out of courtesy, but now when she heard it again, it always gave people the feeling that they were playing a role-playing game.
"What are they doing..." Nuonuo held the sleeping key in her arms and asked in a low voice, "Has Chu Zihang been apprehended?"
Last night she saw these two people doing wholesale at KFC, saying they were going to donate to the children in the welfare home. At that time, their relationship was not so close.
So, something must have happened last night, but she just didn't know it.
She turned her head to look at the paparazzi king, Finkel, wanting to see what exciting news he had to reveal.
Finkel did have some information, but he had no say in whether to publish it or not. Seeing this, he looked at Lu Mingfei.
"Why are you looking at me? You took the photos and leaked the information. Don't expect me to take the blame." Lu Mingfei pointed at people like a husky.
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were not violent people. When they found out that Finkel was talking nonsense, the worst that happened was that they would punch him twice and then blackmail him... no, they would ask for the copyright fee he was owed, but they would not really beat him to death.
Upon hearing this, Finkel knew what to do. As a professional paparazzi, knowing such explosive news, he naturally wanted to announce it as soon as possible, but it would be easy to get beaten to death if he did so, so he kept it hidden and did not dare to say it out loud.
However, this news, which is enough to cause a forum earthquake, cannot be announced on the Night Watch forum, but it is still okay to gossip about it in private.
At that moment, he exaggerated the story of the two of them walking hand in hand on the street last night, and how Xia Mi ran into Chu Zihang's room this morning. If Lu Mingfei hadn't interrupted them, they might have slept in the same room.
At this point, Lu Mingfei glanced at him and said, "You insist on dragging me into this, right? If Chu Zihang really wants to beat you up, I'll be there with a knife."
While Finkel was adding fuel to the fire and talking nonsense, Zero, who was acting as a background figure, raised his eyes slightly. It turned out that he had accidentally ruined that person's good fortune last night.
But she was forced, so it couldn't even be considered indirect damage.
Although Erito is a bit silly, what girl doesn't yearn for a sweet love? Especially after she experienced it herself, she felt how wonderful it was. She was so immersed in it that even the game and her brother didn't seem so important to her. Naturally, she would also care about Xia Mi's love life.
She had discussed this with Lu Mingfei before, saying that since Xia Mi was so pretty, she must be as popular as the heroine in the anime, with many boys chasing after her.
Lu Mingfei also agreed, saying that she was a rich woman with a luxurious airport at such a young age, and there must be many people who didn't want to work hard. It was just a pity that the rich woman already had someone in her heart and it was impossible for her to be interested in anyone else.
Later, when Xia Mi followed Chu Zihang around all day long, Huili knew who she liked.
She really likes this kind of childhood sweetheart love comedy.
It’s nice to watch, I love it, Modo Modo Hi Ya Ku.
As Caesar listened to Fingel's story, he raised his hand and touched his chin, wondering if they had gone to the welfare home to see the children last night and thought the children were so cute, so they decided to team up and have a baby together.
Although it is outrageous, it has to be said that this is the deep-rooted influence brought about by the elders in the family.
"Is that so..." After hearing this, Nuonuo raised her hand and gently stroked Key's soft hair, a hint of helplessness flashing across her rosy red eyes.
"If Susie knew, she would probably be very sad."
Su Si's kindness to Chu Zihang is obvious to all. Although they are not always together, at least they appear on the same screen much more frequently than with other people. Besides his sword, the person most often seen around Chu Zihang is the vice president of the Lionheart Club.
Everyone thought they could succeed, and even Finkel considered opening a betting platform to determine when they would be together. Unfortunately, he was worried about being blocked by violent Lionheart members, so he ultimately didn't dare to do so.
Thinking about it now, he feels a little regretful. If it had been opened, he, as the banker, could have won everything and made a fortune.
The result will be miserable, and he may be captured by Susie's fans and sacrificed to the gods.
"There's nothing we can do. As the saying goes, a sweetheart cannot defeat a person sent from heaven, but Xia Mi is both a sweetheart and a person sent from heaven. How can she lose when a flying dragon is riding on her face?" Lu Mingfei spoke lazily, leaning on the sofa.
Su Si and Chu Zihang were not destined to be together in their previous life, and it was even more impossible in this life.
They couldn't win when they were all human. Now that the little shrimp has evolved into a big dragon, what can Susie use to fight her?
And to be honest, even if Xia Mi hadn't appeared, Chu Zihang and Su Si would never have been able to be together.
Chu Zihang is a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for revenge. He puts his life on the gambling table as a chip, just for a chance to swing the knife at God.
This kind of person, even if he really has someone he likes, can't possibly be as out of control as his biological father.
Chu Zihang is more affectionate than Chu Tianjiao, but also more ruthless than him.
If Xia Mi had not occupied Chu Zihang's entire youth and become the sun of his youth, but had really come to him like a gift from heaven, Chu Zihang, a heartless man, would still have unwaveringly pushed her away even if he had really fallen in love with her, and continued to walk alone on that road of no return.
The violent blood loss is irreversible. After returning from Japan, Chu Zihang's bloodline was already seriously exceeded. After fighting with Odin, even with Lu Mingfei's help to recover from his injuries and stabilize his bloodline, he had already completely embarked on the road to becoming a god, and was marching towards the journey of becoming a mixed-blood monarch.
This road is destined to be full of dangers, and if you are not careful you will become Deadpool. But no one knows what kind of medicine Xia Mi gave Chu Zihang last night. Not only was Odin's mark erased, but the unstable factors in his body were also eliminated.
"Are they childhood sweethearts?"
Not to mention Caesar and Nono, even Finkel doesn't know about this.
"Oh, I accidentally let it slip." Lu Mingfei acted rather exaggeratedly as if to say "Oh, I was careless", ignored the questions from several people, and refused to talk about the past of those two people.
They couldn't pry open his mouth, and no one could do anything to him. After all, all the people present were not enough for him to fight alone. The most likely thing he would do was make Eiry cry, which was heartbreaking.
"By the way, junior brother, the one you gave to the principal just now, was that Friedrich von Roon?" Finkel once again became an expert at changing the subject.
"I thought you had forgotten. It's been so long since you asked." Lu Mingfei nodded and turned to look at Caesar: "Thanks to your intelligence, I locked onto the target, and there's even a surprise."
Caesar was still wondering why childhood sweethearts were so destructive. When she recalled the noble children she had interacted with since childhood, she couldn't remember any girl who had impressed her the most. They all had the same gorgeous appearance and the same princess personality.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's gaze on him, he couldn't help but perk up: "Who is Friedrich von Roon? The unexpected surprise you mentioned, is it related to me, no, is it related to the Gattuso family?"
Friedrich von Roon sounded like a German name, but he was sure that none of the Germans he knew were worthy of being on the menu in Angers.
"Congratulations, you guessed it right." Lu Mingfei picked up the teacup and moistened his throat. He told me about how he had been wandering around outside and accidentally found an antique shop run by a German. He also unexpectedly discovered that the owner of the shop was unusual. After investigation, he found out that this was actually a member of the first generation Lionheart Society.
Caesar was quite surprised to hear this. After all, as far as he knew, Ange was the only one left from the first generation of the Lionheart Society, and the others were all dead.
Nuonuo didn't believe a word of it. There were no coincidences where Lu Mingfei was. Even if there were, they were just man-made coincidences.
And the facts were as she expected. When Lu Mingfei said that his grandfather's grandfather was a member of the first generation Lionheart Society and one of Menek's best friends, and died in that shameful betrayal, the truth about how he happened to find that antique shop came to light.
What a bullshit coincidence, it's definitely a target for revenge.
Moreover, he did not eat alone, and did not grind the man to ashes on the spot. He left two-thirds of his life for Ange to continue to torture.
I didn't realize you're such a nice person.
"But what does this have to do with the Gattuso family?" Caesar felt that this might not only be related to the Gattuso family, but also to him, otherwise he would not have revealed such a playful smile.
Could it be that the invasion of Cassel Manor and the fall of the first generation of the Lionheart Society and the Secret Party Elders were related to the Gattuso family?
That's impossible. At that time, the Gattuso family seemed to be busy infiltrating the government and making plans in the United States. Aren't they afraid that they will be too busy if they get involved in the secret party's affairs?
"Don't worry, as far as we can see now, the Gattuso family has nothing to do with the dragon invasion of Cassel Manor." Lu Mingfei saw him frowning and knew that he must have misunderstood, so he explained:
"The Gattuso family has been in contact with Friedrich, secretly providing him with shelter and occasionally doing business with him.
Their most recent transaction took place this morning, or rather, it was just a verbal agreement this morning, with the correct transaction time being in the evening."
As he spoke, he took out a cell phone from his pocket and threw it to Caesar.
Caesar raised his hand to take it. It was nothing special. When he opened it, he found that there was no contact and only one call record. It was obvious that this phone was used to do some shady things and contact some shady people.
He looked at the call time of the encrypted number, combined with Lu Mingfei's words, and connected all the recent events in his mind, gradually sorting them out into a thread, and finally his brows furrowed deeper and deeper:
"Friedrich von Long knows clues about the Dragon King Fenrir?"
When he was in the mountain city before, he had just contacted Nuonuo to convey Lu Mingfei's words when Frost called him and said that the Dragon King had been defeated. He told him not to wander around outside and to go back to school and study hard to pass the final exam.
At that time, he guessed that Frost didn't want him to get involved in the Chen family's affairs, but he was Nuonuo's boyfriend and knew that she would definitely have conflicts with her family when she came back, and might even be bullied. How could he stand idly by, so he followed her.
But he didn't expect that on the first night in the capital, someone in the hunter market would go against the will of the half-blood world and announce the existence of the dragon race, and even offer a reward of 100 million US dollars for Fenrir's head.
This incident disrupted everyone's plans and attracted everyone's attention. At first, Caesar thought that Lu Mingfei really had the same event-prone physique as Detective Conan, and that he would cause trouble wherever he went.
But his understanding of the family made him wonder whether this news was deliberately released by the Gattuso family so that he would be busy slaying dragons and proving himself, and not get involved in the Chen family's mess.
However, this speculation is too fantastic. If the Gattuso family really has such powerful intelligence gathering capabilities, how could they not even know that Japan is the base camp of the descendants of the White King?
That's true, but today Lu Mingfei suddenly told him that the Gattuso family has connections with an old secret party member who has been rooted in the capital for almost a century, and is preparing to discuss a big deal. The tricks involved are extremely complicated.
Caesar knew his position in the family, and he also knew that those old monsters regarded him as extremely important. When he wanted to sneak into the Abyss in Japan, the Gattuso family was forced to expose an important chess piece to dissuade him. If the principal had not come in person, they would even have planned to stop the action.
Frost and the others also knew his own character. He was arrogant and liked to show off. He was forced to be a spectator twice when the Dragon King appeared in the world. So as long as there was a clue that could lead to confronting the Dragon King directly, he would definitely not let it go.
Therefore, the deal between the Gattuso family and Friedrich von Roon must involve the dragon.
From this point of view, the Chen family's influence is indeed extraordinary.
Old guys like Frost would rather let him fight the Dragon King than let him get involved in the Chen family's vortex.
Of course, it is also possible that it will not only be the Chen family's family affairs.
He glanced at Lu Mingfei and guessed that the Chen family might become the target of public criticism in the future, and might even affect the entire situation of the Oriental mixed-race people.
"You guessed it so quickly. It turns out that smart people will also look for smart people to live with." Lu Mingfei looked at him approvingly and secretly made fun of Nuonuo.
Nuonuo was also analyzing the situation just now, and when she heard Lu Mingfei's words, she just curled her lips. Of course, she knew what he meant. Two smart people might not live a good life together, because they both have their own ideas and opinions, which can easily lead to conflicts.
But that's just because they are not compatible. They are unwilling to accommodate each other and adapt to each other's living habits.
Caesar doted on her very much, but she would not take advantage of his doting and would take care of his emotions. Occasionally, she would be willing to accompany him to do silly and childish things.
"Friedrich does have some clues about Fenrir, but I can't understand it, so I'd better leave it to you professionals." Lu Mingfei took out a yellowed booklet from his arms, which was the "Tianbian Dichao".
"The clue is hidden in this book. The Gattuso family is asking five million for it. As for what they're going to do with it after they buy it, I'm not sure. If you're interested, you can call your uncle and ask him what he wants to do."
Caesar took the ancient Ming Dynasty book that he tossed over, but didn't rush to open it. Instead, he looked up at Lu Mingfei and said, "This is a clue worth five million dollars, and you're just giving it to me like that?"
You know, this may be an important clue leading directly to the Dragon King's location.
He and Chu Zihang are competitors, both wanting to kill the Dragon King to achieve their own goals. Whoever wins will be the most handsome guy in Kassel Academy.
Lu Mingfei obviously has a better relationship with Chu Zihang, but he left the clue to him. Why?
Does Chu Zihang have more crucial clues, or does he not have that much money?
When it comes to combat effectiveness, he knew that he could not stop the siege of the top leaders of the Kanto branch and kill them all by himself.
But compared to financial resources, I'm sorry, let alone ten, even a hundred Chu Zihangs combined would not be enough for him to defeat.
"Your uncle has already paid the deposit, so it's yours, it's that simple." Lu Mingfei pointed to the mobile phone on Caesar's desk. Frost was a straightforward man, and he paid the deposit as soon as he said it. Lu Mingfei used the Word Spirit Dream Tapir to get Friedrich's account password and gave it to Su Enxi. All the wealth that Old Deng had accumulated throughout his life was transferred away.
Upon hearing this, Caesar nodded and said nothing more. He just looked through the yellowed ancient book from the Ming Dynasty with Nuonuo, trying to find relevant clues.
