Chapter 446 Even without the Supreme Bone, one can still dominate for eternity!
No one knew that the Gattuso family's senior secretary had been kidnapped by masked thugs.
The dragon, upon hearing the commotion, had no intention of meddling in the matter.
The Tang family of three was enjoying themselves immensely, oblivious to the impending doom outside, while a certain lustful tyrant was engrossed in flirting with a male college student, paying no heed to anything else.
Only Lu Mingfei was thoughtful enough to call people to help Fingel clean up the mess.
As a result, the suite, which had been ravaged by a mini tornado, was restored to its original condition at an astonishing speed.
The broken furniture was replaced with identical new pieces, the dents and cracks in the walls were filled and painted by professional craftsmen, and the bloodstains and signs of fighting were completely removed.
The unfortunate waiter who was knocked unconscious and stuffed into a corner of the staff break room also slowly woke up not long afterward.
He rubbed his aching neck and found himself lying on the sofa in the lounge. Next to him was the food cart he was in charge of, its silver plates with gleaming lids, but the food underneath had vanished.
I asked around and found out that he had fainted in the corridor due to low blood sugar, but fortunately a kind passerby helped him.
Now that he thinks about it, he vaguely remembers feeling dizzy and lightheaded in the corridor, and then losing consciousness...
It seems like he had a hypoglycemic episode.
His colleagues helped him get here and even delivered his dinner to the guest's room.
He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't miss work or get complaints from customers, the crisis of having his wages deducted was over.
As for where Percy went, no one knows, and no one cares.
Caesar was unaware that the human surveillance device sent by the Gattuso family to watch over him had disappeared. After Erii dragged Lu Mingfei up to play with Nono, he poured himself a glass of wine, preparing to discuss something with Lu Mingfei.
Caesar had previously discovered that the Gattuso family did not want him to get involved in the vortex of Eastern mixed-race people, and today when he went to the Chen family, he found that Chen Tianmu was being a little too eager for him.
When they first met, the other party treated him only as a rich kid from a landlord's family, showing some familiarity, but not much.
However, after being tricked by Lu Mingfei, Chen Tianmu's attitude changed drastically, which made Caesar perk up.
After thinking it over, and ruling out the possibility that Lu Mingfei had secretly brainwashed Nuonuo's father in that instant, the most likely explanation was that the Chen family and the Gattuso family had secretly colluded.
According to the information gathered by Fingel, the Chen family's businesses are spread all over the world, especially in Europe and America, where they are deeply rooted. They even have a company they have invested in and control in Rome, Italy.
Although there is no explicit evidence of collusion between the two families, given the Gattuso family's unfathomable and corrupt nature, no one can say for sure how many dirty deeds they have done behind the scenes.
Caesar himself never delved into the core affairs of his family, nor did he bother to understand their darker side.
That old man Frost had always opposed his relationship with Nono, telling him not to put all his eggs in one basket, but Caesar was stubborn, like a mule that wouldn't budge no matter how much you tried to pull him along.
Everyone in the family knew this, and when he was young, they often used reverse psychology to guide him in the direction the family hoped for. However, after they found out, they have been consciously careful ever since.
If... the Gattuso family really has close ties with the Chen family, and it just so happens that Caesar and Nono have become lovers, then it would be perfectly logical for the two families to hit it off and prepare to carry out a political marriage that combines their strengths.
If this relationship were exposed, Caesar would feel that his life had been arranged yet again, and his free love had turned into an arranged marriage. It would not be impossible, but very likely, for him to elope with Nono!
This is why Frost always opposed his relationship with Nono, which fueled his rebellious spirit; the more his family opposed it, the more determined he became.
However, all of this was Caesar's speculation. Consulting Nono would be a bit too chauvinistic, so he decided to seek advice from Lu Mingfei.
Upon hearing Caesar's suspicion that the Chen family and the Gattuso family had reached a secret deal, Lu Mingfei nodded with satisfaction. Although he was slightly weaker, he was still quite intelligent.
“Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you.” He did not offer the wine, but leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on his knees, and stared intently at Caesar:
"But before that, I need to confirm whether you are prepared to listen to the dark side of your family."
Some truths, once known, can never be undone.
Caesar frowned. Weren't the disgusting things the Gattuso family did dark enough? There were even dirtier and more sordid things to come?
Regardless of what he was thinking, there was no hesitation in his blue eyes as he nodded firmly, indicating that he was ready.
Since that's the case, Lu Mingfei selectively revealed some of the Gattuso family's dirty secrets, but temporarily left out the fact that they provided a one-stop service.
Caesar had heard of some of them, but knew nothing about the rest.
"What?! The Gattuso family and the Chen family really have close ties?!"
"Bondarev, who almost killed Herzog, is suspected of being a henchman of the Gattuso family?!"
"Professor Schneider's current appearance was caused by the Gattuso family?!"
"Back then, their eagerness for quick success not only led to the downfall of the academy's strongest elite team, but also allowed a dragon king to escape?!"
Caesar's eyes widened. Although it was a bit hard to believe, when he thought about the fact that this was the Gattuso family, he felt that it was not impossible, and it even fit the style of those guys who would do anything to achieve their goals!
He didn't even bother to ask Lu Mingfei if he had any evidence, whether it was true or false. Lu Mingfei had no need or interest in making up these stories to deceive him.
Lu Mingfei dared to say this because he must have relevant evidence or a highly credible source.
After all, Lu Mingfei could mobilize the resources of a huge organization to investigate, while Caesar had to be restrained in everything he did and was under close surveillance by the Gattuso family!
It can only be said that the Gattuso family is far too authoritative when it comes to their notorious reputation.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. The crimes committed by the Gattuso family are far more numerous than you can imagine." Lu Mingfei showed no remorse for adding fuel to the fire, and raised his glass to Caesar.
Caesar took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice, "If this Eastern half-blood is targeting the Chen family, and the Gattuso family is going to lend a hand..."
Lu Mingfei shook his head, interrupting him: "Even if they don't take action this time, I will personally go to Italy after I finish dealing with things here."
Caesar remained silent.
He knew that Lu Mingfei was referring to Fujiwara Shinnosuke.
Whether it's for Erii or Chu Zihang, the Gattuso family can never shake off this blame.
“For Fingel,” Lu Mingfei added.
Caesar: ?
What the heck? What does this have to do with Fingel?
Lu Mingfei noticed the confusion on his face but did not answer his question: "If you want to know, go find Fingel and ask him if he is willing to tell you."
This is Fingel's deepest pain, and whether or not it can be resolved depends on Fingel himself.
Caesar made a mental note of it, intending to ask him later what kind of unknown grudges and entanglements existed between Fingel, the notorious good-for-nothing of Kassel College, and the Gattuso family.
But there's no rush. Fingel isn't going anywhere. He has something else he wants to ask Lu Mingfei.
He glanced up at the closed door upstairs, confirming that Nono and Erii wouldn't be coming out anytime soon, but still subconsciously lowered his voice:
"Is there any way to let Ricardo grow up like a normal child?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow and asked with a hint of mockery, "What, you've only been with him for two days and you're already scared off by your brother-in-law?"
“No.” Caesar waved his hand, his expression serious.
He certainly didn't see Ricardo as a burden, nor did he worry that he couldn't afford to support him:
"If possible, I hope he can have a complete life."
Life is full of wonderful things and experiences worth having. If someone can only remain in the mind and body of an infant forever, they will miss out on so much.
Moreover, Nono shared this wish; more than anyone else, she hoped Ricardo could grow up healthy and normal.
His icy blue eyes stared directly at Lu Mingfei, his tone resolute: "So, if you have a way, whatever the cost, as long as I can do it, just say the word."
It wasn't a boastful statement about selling off family property without a care in the world; it was simply that Caesar always kept his word. Even if he did choose to leave the Gattuso family in the future, he was confident that he could fulfill his promise based on his own abilities and accumulated experience.
Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, then nodded under Caesar's tense gaze.
Ricardo's problem stemmed from the fact that his dragon blood was too pure, and his physical development could not keep up with the growth rate of the dragon blood's power, resulting in his bodily functions being forcibly locked at the infant stage.
For Lu Mingfei, solving Ricardo's problem was simple: either inject him with the Deadpool fetal serum researched by Herzog for a long time to inhibit the continuous purification and activity of the dragon blood in his body, allowing his body to break free from the dragon blood's shackles and grow at the pace of a normal human.
Alternatively, like Fenrir, Ricardo's dragon blood could be degenerated, and his bloodline imprint could be retracted or sealed. In this way, his bloodline would degenerate to the level of an ordinary, excellent hybrid, and his body would naturally recover and grow.
Of course, you can also let him directly absorb the White King's Blood Crystal to complete his evolution, just like Erii did.
But the last one is an internal secret. Even though everyone knows that Lu Mingfei must have taken the White Dragon Bone, as long as he doesn't blatantly show it off, no one can do anything to him.
I'm just kidding. Even if he takes it out and shows it off to others, no one can do anything about it.
Faced with the choice between lifelong medication and becoming a normal hybrid, Lu Mingfei quietly waited for Caesar to make his decision.
Caesar had been to Japan and knew how the Deadpool fetal serum was made, so he naturally didn't want Ricardo to turn from a cute little child into a dangerous hybrid who needed to rely on this evil serum and could lose control at any time.
"Would there be any danger if the bloodline degenerates?"
This was the first time Caesar had ever heard of such an unbelievable method.
In the battlegrounds where hybrids slay dragons, the pursuit has always been for higher and purer bloodlines in order to gain greater power.
The idea of bloodlines degenerating is simply unheard of.
“There’s no danger, but I think you should not make this decision on your own. Discuss it with Chen Motong first.” Lu Mingfei gestured for him to hold on, as the hospital would not perform surgery without a family member’s signature.
Even if Caesar was Ricardo's brother-in-law, it wouldn't work, especially since he was not yet married into the family.
Just as he finished speaking, two red-haired girls pushed open the door and came out. One of them, who looked more mature and sharp, stood on the second-floor railing with a small child in her arms, looking down at her boyfriend.
"What are you whispering about? Can't I hear you?"
Seeing this, Caesar knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he told Nono everything they had just discussed, including the two plans for Li Jiaxiang to grow up like a normal child.
Nono had anticipated this, and she had been worried about it all along.
She walked downstairs with her younger brother and Erii in her arms and joined the discussion:
"What exactly is the process for causing Ricardo's dragon blood to degenerate? Will it cause him any irreversible damage?"
Lu Mingfei remained tight-lipped about it, waving his hand and saying, "The waters here are too deep; outsiders shouldn't pry."
But seeing that Nono and Caesar were both looking at him expressionlessly, he gave a simple example:
"You've all read cultivation novels, right? Some elders of cultivation sects have boundless magical power, but their descendants have limited aptitude for cultivation and can't cultivate, or they cultivate their whole lives and still end up with nothing."
Just then, a genius with no background but exceptional talent arrived at the mountain gate. So, on a dark and windy night, they dug up his spiritual root and transplanted it into their own descendant.
Nono frowned upon hearing this. She read a wide variety of books and was familiar with online novels.
"How can someone whose spiritual roots have been removed survive?"
"What's so surprising? The Desolate Emperor had his Supreme Bone dug out and was thrown into the lower realm to fend for himself, but that didn't stop him from achieving the Dao of Sacrifice and dominating the ages."
Lu Mingfei's lips curled slightly, his gaze falling meaningfully on Chen Motong, before he changed the subject:
"Moreover, if done properly, this method might also solve the problem of you not having the power of words."
"What do you mean?" Nuonuo was shocked when she heard this. Lu Mingfei's words were tantamount to transplanting Ricardo's Word of Power into her, directly solving the problem between the siblings.
Caesar also grasped this meaning, staring at Lu Mingfei in astonishment, completely unable to imagine how this could have been achieved.
This was beyond his comprehension.
"Your test results are in." Lu Mingfei took out his phone and sent the file Su Enxi had sent him in the evening to Chen Motong:
"In general, you and your brother both have health problems."
"It's just that Ricardo's body couldn't withstand the power of his words and the purity of his dragon blood, so he couldn't grow up."
"And you were born with a defect, and it seems you've also undergone... well, optimization, or rather, technical adjustments."
This means that she had a problem in the womb, which may not be malignant, but could also be benign.
Therefore, after birth, they may be taken to a laboratory for genetic modification and adjustment.
However, this adjustment was clearly not entirely successful, or it may have brought about other unknown consequences.
Nono stopped her younger brother from grabbing the wine glass with one hand, and took out her phone with the other to open a file.
When Caesar heard about his girlfriend's ordeal, he frowned and leaned closer. The two heads touched, their expressions uneasy.
Erii listened from the side, not finding anything strange about it, after all, her childhood was even more miserable, she grew up entirely in the laboratory.
However, she still moved closer to Lu Mingfei, took his hand, and leaned on his shoulder, as if she wanted to act coquettishly.
Lu Mingfei nuzzled her soft, long hair with his head, his gaze sweeping over the three people opposite him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Although the five of them can now form a mother, they still can't piece together a complete childhood.
And most importantly, they are suspected to all be experimental products.
Damn it! This world is a mess!
