Chapter 427: Don’t Eat Beef X Don’t Eat Coriander
Time flies, and Zhou Minhao really didn't expect that he would have to wait from noon to night.
They had just done something major last night that shocked the world of half-bloods, and countless forces were moved by it, but these young and excessive dragon slayers seemed to have not taken it to heart at all, and were all hanging out outside.
The moon was rising above the branches. Lu Mingfei took Eiry, Lao Tang and the others to climb the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City. After testing their friendship, they went out for a big meal. Finally, Lu Mingfei led Renhelong back to the hotel.
Zhou Minhao was almost numb from waiting and almost in tears. He shouldn't have planned any surprises and should have said goodbye in advance before leaving. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sat in the hotel lobby for so long.
The waiter looked at him as if he was looking at an honest man who suddenly got a promotion and a raise and discovered his wife was cheating on him. He angrily ran to the hotel to catch them in the affair, but it turned out that the person who entered the room with his wife was his immediate boss who had promoted him against all odds. In the end, with mixed feelings, he listened to the conversation for a while and then ran to the hotel lobby to act as a thinker.
Well, although Zhou Minhao didn't know why the waiter's eyes could interpret so many meanings, this was roughly what he meant. After Lu Mingfei came back, he immediately went to meet him and found a secluded place to tell him in detail the progress of their conspiracy.
After learning that several major mixed-blood ancient clans in the country have reached a consensus and only lack some decisive evidence to justify their actions, Lu Mingfei directly forwarded all the evidence taken by Jiude Mai to Lord Wa without going through Zhou Minhao as a middleman to make a profit.
"Hey, it's just a small matter, you can just talk about it on QQ or over the phone, why bother you to come all the way here?" Lu Mingfei felt a little funny.
I left in a hurry and forgot to inform Zhou Minhao, which resulted in him being unable to board the Chengfengpoyun airship.
However, if he was like Mrs. Chen, and immediately ran to other cities to take a plane to the capital, maybe Lu Mingfei could have taken him to Teacher Daye's Nibelungen last night.
Not to mention being just a bystander, at least it can give the domestic mixed-race people a sense of participation.
After all, whether it is Xia Mi or Chu Zihang, they are both labeled as Kassel Academy. When they do something great, people will praise Ange and others for their good training, rather than praising the Oriental mixed-race people for having successors.
"This is a matter of great importance, so it's best to proceed with caution." Zhou Minhao said seriously, "Besides, I'm here at the behest of Lord Wa. Several patriarchs of mixed-blood families in the capital would like to treat you to a meal."
Others would introduce young people with a promising future to those powerful and well-known old men, but with Lu Mingfei, the situation was reversed. Those big shots who could make the mixed-race families in China tremble with a stomp of their feet had to ask the Lord Wa to send someone to introduce them before they could talk to Lu Mingfei.
This card can only be said to be full.
But there was nothing they could do about it. The head of the Chen family was no less prestigious than them in terms of status and strength, but he dared not say a word even though Lu Mingfei beat his wife and robbed his child. He even had to let the people from Kassel Academy reason with him. It was conceivable that these old guys probably had no face in front of Lu Mingfei.
This may be the price they paid for standing by and allowing Kassel Academy to handle dragon affairs in the country and continuously absorb talents for development and growth.
The loss of mixed-race talents is so serious that if Lu Mingfei wants to pick a few pillars, he has to look for them in mixed-race associations abroad. It would be strange if they have no objection.
Hearing him say this, Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of this scene.
Damn Jiang Wen is still chasing me!
Lu Mingfei felt a little nervous, wondering if the Queen had already spread the news that she was going to nominate him as the leader of the Oriental mixed-bloods. That was why these mixed-blood families that had dominated the capital for who knows how many generations would take the initiative to find someone to sound out the rumors.
If he nodded in agreement now, visiting cards from those mixed-blood families would appear in front of him tomorrow morning, written by the head of the family himself.
But Lu Mingfei knew that this was a society ruled by law, and the title of martial arts leader was outdated.
Even if he was really pushed to the position of the leader of the Oriental mixed-race people, he would just be a mascot. Of course, he would be a mascot holding the Xuanyuan Sword of Damocles, and he would chop down anyone who dared to bark.
When discussing important matters with the heads of the Zhou and Bai families, Lu Mingfei made it clear that the most he could do was to help them stand up for themselves and let the mixed-blood families, who were busy with their own affairs, recognize the current situation and take charge of all domestic affairs involving the dragon clan, Deadpool and dangerous mixed-bloods.
Don't always let the guys from Kassel Academy take over the reins, and don't let the Zhou family, who have a sense of responsibility but are unable to do so, feel less pressure on the family. Even if all the family members are sent out, they can't take care of so many places.
Therefore, his position is almost like the nuclear weapon of the mixed-race world, which is not used easily and mainly serves as a deterrent effect.
But there is still a difference between him and the nuclear weapons in the real world.
Once the latter is launched, it will inevitably lead to World War 3, and once Lu Mingfei sets off, he will explode wherever he goes, safely and without pollution, focusing on environmental protection.
Seeing that Lu Mingfei had no intention of objecting, Zhou Minhao simply introduced the mixed-blood families that wanted to make friends with Lu Mingfei. There were about seventeen or eighteen of them in total, and quite a few of them were influential enough and had connections with Lu Mingfei's ancestors.
"So many?" Lu Mingfei felt a headache after hearing what Zhou Minhao said. He was originally a game geek. In his previous life, apart from being taken out by Chu Tianjiao to broaden his horizons, the biggest social interaction he had on weekdays was to go out for dinner with the game geeks in the club.
We chat and brag together, talk about the girls we like, brag about our own achievements, and discuss the new anime we are following. It is always more enjoyable than drinking and chatting at a banquet where you have to read and comprehend every word you say.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Minhao immediately crossed out some of the candidates on the list and only picked out those who had connections with the ancestors of the Lu and Chu families. In an instant, only four people were left.
Don’t ask, it’s impossible.
The number of people dropped sharply, and the expression on Lu Mingfei's face became more and more strange. After all, there were exactly four dog owners sitting at the same table with those who didn't eat beef.
Who says you can’t kill someone without a gun?
Stab one to death first, then three more against the wall!
So cruel!
Fortunately, I don’t eat cilantro.
Lu Mingfei comforted himself and asked Zhou Minhao to reply to those family heads and agreed to meet with them.
Since we have a relationship where our ancestors once fought together, it would be nice to invite Chu Zihang to have morning tea together tomorrow.
I didn’t bring my family with me, after all, the people I beat were my relatives.
After separating from Zhou Minhao, Lu Mingfei knocked on Xia Mi's door, but no one answered. It seemed that the two of them did not take advantage of him and others' absence to hide in the quilt and look at their luminous watches.
I don’t know where he went to play, and he didn’t come back so late at night.
Speaking of those who won’t come back, there’s also the girl Ling.
Although strictly speaking, the time Lu Mingfei spent as a human in his two lives combined was not as long as that of a stranger, he still felt from the bottom of his heart that she was a junior who needed care.
Her figure and appearance, frozen at the age of thirteen or fourteen, are exactly like the loli old ladies that only exist in comics!
"Huh!"
In an unknown underground base, the Ice Queen who was watching over the transportation of dragon bones with an expressionless face suddenly sneezed cutely, frowned her willow-shaped eyebrows, looked up and looked around, but didn't find anyone who was deliberately doing bad things.
So, someone is talking about me behind my back again?
Is it Mai or Enxi?
Or... him?
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a while, and Ling, who was clueless, withdrew his gaze and stopped worrying about these trivial things.
Yesterday, her boss called her to work with Jiude Mai to transport the dragon bones safely out of the capital without attracting anyone's attention. So she stayed by Fenrir's dragon bones all the time, strictly following the dragon bone transfer plan specified by Su Enxi, and personally supervised every step to ensure that everything was correct.
Jude Mai was only responsible for handing the dragon bone to her, and she had other tasks to perform. She muttered that it was unfair, why did she have to do all the dirty and tiring work? It turned out that the boss was partial to the cute little assistant.
Ling couldn't tell what emotions were mixed in her mumbling. She had always been a clumsy girl and only felt that Mai was really busy running around.
But this was his idea, and Enxi had no way to change the plan, and she was just an emotionless task machine.
As for the way Mai wanted to relieve stress the most, he would hold her in his arms and ravage her...
Thinking of the scene of himself, who was as petite as a doll, being held in the arms of a sexy and hot long-legged lady, Ling felt physically uncomfortable.
The fact that she doesn't like physical contact with others is secondary. The main thing is that when she is with Mai, she can't help but feel a little envious.
After all, her body has been forever frozen in the day when she escaped from Black Swan Harbor. She was reborn from the ashes, transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan, and was qualified to stand behind him as a beautiful assistant.
Although he never said it, she actually knew very well that he liked sexy beauties with big breasts, long legs and a nice butt.
But she no longer had room to grow, so when she saw Mai, even though she was a dull person, she couldn't help but feel envious.
If she also has a figure like this... forget it, Xia Mi has a better chance of getting close.
Zero's thoughts began to wander inexplicably, but he quickly realized that something was wrong with his mental state, and his little hand pressed on the gun at his waist.
But just as she was about to draw her gun, a hand gently covered the back of her hand. It was not big, but extremely familiar.
More than ten years ago, on a snowy day, he used these hands to support her knees and carried her all the way south, taking one step forward and one step back.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed?"
A familiar voice came from the side of her ear. Ling turned her head and found that the boy, who seemed to be stuck in that day forever, had appeared behind her at some point. One hand was holding her gun hand, and the other hand was on her slender waist, his chin hanging on her shoulder. The hot and moist breath he exhaled when he spoke hit her ears, seeming so real.
It seemed as if he was really by her side at this moment.
"you."
Zero would not lie, nor would she hide anything from him. After all, everything she had belonged to him.
"Very good, this is my most lovely little assistant, who always thinks about the boss." The boy in the black tuxedo smiled with satisfaction, let go of his hand, came to stand next to Ling, and looked at the workers who were moving the keel in the distance.
After being cut by Lu Mingfei, Fenrir's keel could be perfectly loaded into the cargo box. In order to keep it secret, Su Enxi directly used the logistics supply chain in which he had invested, mixed the keel with the goods sent to various parts of the country, and delivered it to the designated location secretly. Finally, the boss completed the assembly himself.
Few men don’t like to build toys. Who hasn’t built a toy robot as a child? It’s just that the boss’s toys are more advanced.
"These humans are really interesting." He put his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the busy workers in front of him, but he talked about a completely unrelated topic:
"He clearly only sees his children as tools to continue his bloodline or consolidate his status, yet he insists on cloaking himself in the guise of fatherly love, carefully drawing a so-called blueprint for your life under the pretext of doing it for your own good.
Once the child tries to break free and deviate from the track they set, their control freak nature will be exposed, and they will force them back on track at all costs."
He paused, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth. "My brother is about to take action against the Chen family. I really want to know if he would find the plot of a rebellious young girl killing her old father appealing."
Ling was a little confused when he first heard it, thinking that he was recalling the time after he escaped from Black Swan Harbor, when he found his parents who handed her over to the empire as a precious experimental subject in exchange for huge wealth and trying to squeeze into the upper class, and helped her get revenge while trying to hide it from her.
But after hearing the following words, she quickly realized what he meant.
But she didn't know how to answer this question.
After all, when she first learned that her parents had abandoned her as a tool to make money, she was filled with sadness. She felt that they didn't love her and that she was a poor unwanted creature. She cried with tears streaming down her face, and her tears dripped onto the back of his neck, making him shiver with cold.
Even if she could go back to that time with her current mind, facing the man and woman who gave her life but pushed her into the abyss with their own hands, she might not be able to wield the butcher knife without hesitation.
Children who have been abandoned always have a stubborn question in their hearts: Why?
Even if the answer is as cruel as "I don't want it".
However, no matter what the answer was, Zero was certain of one thing.
If she could go back to the past one day, she would definitely kill them herself.
The reason was simple: she just didn't want those hands that carried all her light and warmth to be stained with dirty blood.
"If he knew, he would be very angry." Ling looked at the boy sideways and said softly.
They originally wanted to escape from the cold winter in Moscow and go to the warm south, but they were caught up on the way and forced to separate, and have been separated ever since.
"My brother is so smart, he guessed it a long time ago." A hint of sadness appeared on the boy's face, "But he was so stupid before, hopelessly stupid."
Zero could not fully understand the sigh about the distant past hidden in his words, but he could clearly feel the surging sadness beneath the calm tone.
She silently leaned her shoulder towards him, bringing their figures even closer, just like when they hiked hand in hand across the 7,000-kilometer glacier. In this clumsy yet sincere way, she tried to convey a tiny bit of warmth.
“Everyone longs to fall into a beautiful dream while asleep, but the more brilliant the dream, the more heartbreaking the disparity between waking up and facing the pale reality is, enough to drive the weak-willed into madness.”
He continued softly, his eyes becoming somewhat distant, as if he had penetrated the world line: "But he is stronger than I thought."
