Chapter 456 Odin is such a green-headed bastard, how can he be so patient?
Two days have passed since Percy was captured and nearly dissected for research. During this time, Percy has been thoroughly examined from head to toe, inside and out, and the conclusion is—
He's quite capable; he's about on par with Zhao Xuzhen.
He would be a proper S-class outstanding student at Kassel College.
Unfortunately, being born in Italy, eating Roman cuisine, and receiving government stipends from the Gattuso family, he couldn't outperform the young master.
During the two days he was disconnected, the Gattuso family didn't react much. Frost called Caesar a few times, but apart from the first two times, Caesar hung up on every subsequent call and even blocked him.
Frost seemed to value Passy quite a bit, and even called Angers to ask him to send someone to look for Passy.
Unfortunately, Angers and Lu Mingfei didn't get along at all, and he guessed that Passy was always hanging around in front of Lu Mingfei, probably because the latter found an opportunity to beat him up or something.
So they just sent a few people to make a show of it, focusing all their energy on the important task of excavating the collapsed Nibelungen.
This concerns the remains of the Dragon King, so we cannot be careless.
He even postponed his trip to Japan, discussing with many professionals in architecture, geology, and other fields, as well as tenured professors in the equipment department and academy, to try to excavate the Dragon King's remains as soon as possible, so as not to be targeted by the local mixed-race families.
Anyway, things are in a mess in Japan right now. There were hunters who were secretly kidnapping the White King's descendants. After being threatened by Lu Mingfei a few days ago, many hunters were a bit angry.
But Lu Mingfei is someone you can't afford to offend, and neither are people of mixed Eastern and Western descent. So they decided to form a group and go to Japan to see if they could make some money, or at least vent their anger.
Anyway, the whole world knows what Japan's unique characteristics are.
Frost didn't expect Angers to be a decent person, but he was also reluctant to use the pawns he had planted in the branch, so he called Chen Tianmu, who had originally planned to join forces to launch a big counterattack but ultimately chose to cancel the cooperation, and asked him to help find Percy's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Chen Tianmu is no longer the same person he used to be.
Now, he is merely an emotionless family controller, selecting old officials of the former dynasty to be purged and assisting his rebellious daughter to ascend the throne.
Besides, if others don't know where Percy is, how could he not know?
It must be the great God's way.
So, like Angers, he verbally agreed to Frost's request, but in reality, he hastily finished the task.
What can Frost do?
Cold dish.
If nothing unexpected happens, Percy should fall into Lu Mingfei's hands, with Caesar watching from the side. His life shouldn't be in danger; at most, he'll be controlled and lose his freedom.
He guessed that the Chen family's research institute had been raided, and Percy had occasionally forgotten to take his medicine and accidentally revealed his weakness, which led to Lu Mingfei discovering something was wrong and taking him in for research.
This is actually a minor matter. Everyone publicly and vehemently rejects experiments involving dragon's blood, but behind the scenes, they do all sorts of things.
If we really want to get to the bottom of this, we can just say that Percy's parents were both excellent mixed-race individuals, so their child just has a stronger bloodline. What's so strange about that?
Abraham's bloodline contract?
Just kidding, when has the Gattuso family ever followed any rules?
It has always been the Gattuso family that initiates trials. When did it become someone else's turn to judge members of the Gattuso family?
Percy was unaware that he had been kidnapped and studied for two days, but he knew that he had been abducted for some time.
Putting everything else aside, at least on the day he was kidnapped, Fingel's beard wasn't this long, and his dark circles weren't this heavy.
After ending the call with Lu Mingfei, he glanced at his phone screen, intending to check the time, but discovered that Fingel's shameless screensaver was also Lu Mingfei.
A very handsome and dazzling back view. I don't know when it was taken, but it made Lu Mingfei look invincible to the naked eye, with an air of dominance over all living beings.
Seriously... they've lost all sense of shame.
Percy finally understood why Fingel was so strong.
If a person can even set aside their dignity, what is there that they cannot accomplish?
Looking for a girlfriend?
He handed the phone back to Fingel and said, "May I leave now?"
Fingel ignored his strange look, put his phone in his pocket, and turned to leave: "Come with me."
Percy followed, thinking he was in Lu Mingfei's secret base, but when he left the room, he found that it was actually a sanatorium.
No, more accurately, it should be called a postpartum care center and a maternity center, because there are many pregnant women and women who are trying to conceive here.
As the senior secretary of the Gattuso family, Percy was naturally aware of some of the Chen family head's peculiar hobbies and knew that this was probably a surrogacy base invested in by the other party.
I just don't know why Lu Mingfei arranged for him to come here. Could it be that he wants to use his chromosomes to create...?
"Don't overthink it, it's just that this place is more suitable for you." Fingel interrupted his wild thoughts as if he had foreseen it.
Upon arriving downstairs, Fingel tossed him a set of keys and pointed to a pink women's motorcycle parked by the door, saying:
"With limited transportation options, if you don't mind, you can drive this thing."
After saying that, he chuckled to himself: "If you don't like that, there are also children's bicycles here."
Percy didn't understand what he meant by "funny," but he had nothing on him and couldn't even contact someone to pick him up, so he could only take the keys and get on the motorcycle.
He was attacked by Finger at the time, and all he had on him was a bath towel. It was obviously impossible for Finger to be so kind as to pack up his phone, wallet, and ID for him.
He drove all the way to the main road, and the outskirts were really remote and deserted. He was wondering whether he should hitch a ride when he suddenly heard the roar of a car engine behind him.
"Remember to wear a helmet."
A familiar voice flashed past his ears, and as the familiar Ferrari disappeared into the distance, Passy gripped the brakes, his face darkening.
Although I know Fingel is deliberately targeting me, it's a bit too sarcastic, almost like I'm making a mistake right now.
However, Percy's composure was still excellent. Seeing that Fingel, that troublesome fellow, had left, he turned around and went back to the sanatorium without any hesitation, intending to borrow a phone.
His conversation with Lu Mingfei was one thing, and his report to Frost was another; the two should not be confused.
However, as soon as he turned his head, he noticed a police car had appeared in the distance.
"Hey, foreign comrade, what you're doing is very dangerous. You know you have to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle."
A middle-aged policeman with a Sichuan accent got out of the car, holding a microphone and followed by a photographer. He stopped Percy and gave him a lecture.
Pacimu kept a straight face, offering no resistance and silently enduring everything.
After finally getting the police officer to finish his reprimand, he was about to say that he was driving without a license and asked the other person for a ride when another person driving a donkey cart sped past him on the road.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged policeman grabbed the photographer without a word, rushed into the police car, and chased after them, leaving Percy standing alone in the wind, bewildered.
What on earth is going on here?
Even someone as emotionally stable as him felt that this experience was a bit too bizarre.
Fortunately, this time no one bothered me, and I managed to borrow a phone from the nursing home's security guards to contact Frost and explain why I had been out of contact for two days.
Frost was delighted to hear that he was still alive and immediately sent men to fetch him.
However, when they learned that Percy had been unconscious the whole time, had been sampled all over his body, and knew nothing about it, they could not hide their disappointment.
During the two days that Parcy went missing, he kept a close eye on the situation in the capital.
The mixed-race family and the people from the Kassel branch did not stop causing trouble for the Chen family, while Chen Tianmu seemed to have completely resigned himself to his fate, neither fighting back nor arguing back, looking like he was ready to give up and wait for death, completely unlike his former tyrannical demeanor.
But Frost didn't think he was just sitting and waiting to die; instead, he sought another way to save the Chen family.
After all, Caesar and Chen Motong have been staying at the Chen family home for the past two days, and it seems that the relationship between father and daughter has improved a lot. Many people who had conflicts with Chen Motong have been punished.
It seems that he genuinely believed the Chen family had no chance of winning in the face of overwhelming odds, so he chose to cut his losses and save himself and some members of the Chen family in order to preserve the clan.
This was not unexpected for Frost, since many aristocratic families prioritize the continuation of their lineage, and many people are willing to sacrifice for it, including the head of the family.
The decline of the Chen family is an inevitable fact, so we must find a way to preserve its remaining strength. The most effective way is to extricate Chen Tianmu from the blame and make him take all the blame.
In this way, the Chen family went from being the mastermind to an accomplice. They then eliminated his henchmen, paid a price to make sure everyone was safe, and replaced him with a new family head who had some connection with Lu Mingfei and had been suppressed by the Chen family. In an instant, they transformed into victims.
Then Chen Motong will say to the other members of the Chen family: "The Chen family has suffered under Chen Tianmu for too long. We were forced into this situation. We are also victims."
What should a mixed-race family do?
Continue doing it regardless? Lu Mingfei is watching right here. You try making a move.
To be honest, Frost felt that Chen Tianmu's move was really brilliant.
Even if the Chen family and the Gattuso family overcome this difficulty together, they will inevitably become a thorn in the side of mixed-race families and will certainly be targeted everywhere.
Especially since the opposing camp also has Lu Mingfei, with him around, if the Chen family and the Gattuso family want to join forces to cause trouble in the future, they might be directly stabbed in the back thirty-eight times. Finally, after a forensic autopsy, it was announced that the cause of death was autopsy.
It would be better to sacrifice Chen Tianmu and a few members of the Chen family to preserve the Chen family and continue the cooperation with the Gattuso family. That way, there will always be a day when they can make a comeback.
Frost asked himself if he would have made the same choice if he were in such a desperate situation.
After all, family comes first, including slaying dragons.
“Caesar is not in immediate danger; your priority is to recover.” Frost, having sorted everything out and believing he understood everything, offered a few words of reassurance in the manner of an elder:
"There will be other uses for you later, so you need to recover as soon as possible."
Percy nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Understood."
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at the distant sky and began to ponder his future path and Lu Mingfei's last words.
"Holy crap, you bastard, you made an international call? That's going to cost me my phone bill!"
When the security guard saw the text message notification, he was completely stunned. He wanted nothing more than to grab Percy by the collar and ask him if it was intentional or accidental.
Seeing his genuine reaction, not being polite or overly courteous like others just because he was a foreigner, Percy felt that perhaps this was how a person should live.
Unfortunately, is he even human anymore?
"You bastard, are you pretending to be deaf to me?"
"Speak up, how are you going to compensate me?!" The security guard was furious, worried that the foreigner's limited understanding of Chinese meant he wouldn't understand, so he even threw in an English phrase:
"Looking my eyes! Tell me! Why?"
Percy: "..."
Sure enough, he still couldn't understand the thought process of a normal human being.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Mingfei finished riding the carousel countless times and was pulled by Erii to the roller coaster in the distance.
Kidnapping... cough cough, for the past two days, Lu Mingfei has been waiting for the domineering Shufen to force her love on him.
Judging from the scene where Chen Tianmu transformed into a heroic warrior, it's obvious that the Chen family must have played an important role in Odin's plan. As a result, one of the most important pawns was easily captured and thrown off the chessboard by Lu Mingfei.
Moreover, he also made Chen Motong take over everything from Chen Tianmu, preparing to change the head of the Chen family and hand over all the Chen family's years of accumulation to someone else.
If Odin doesn't make any moves, Lu Mingfei would suspect that he's not just an old turtle, but a green-headed turtle.
Otherwise, it's hard to explain how he could be so patient.
However, to Lu Mingfei's surprise, Odin was actually quite patient. He had thoroughly studied Percy and Chen Tianmu, and even allowed Chen Motong and Caesar to cause trouble in the Chen family, yet the other party did not react at all and could not find any clues.
It can only be said that those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. In ancient times, Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, and now Odin has committed the same offense.
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei hasn't been idle these past two days.
He not only prepared this one bait, but also had Old Tang and Constantine secretly return to Tangshan City to prepare the alchemical materials to reshape Fingel's happy life, to see if they could catch someone hiding in the dark, or a Deadpool or a dragon.
Once we're sure Odin has really turned into a coward, we'll consider whether to go to North America or Europe first, and who to cause trouble for first.
Fingel said that Eva and her other teammates who went down with her were buried in the deep sea. If there is enough time, they can also take a trip to the Greenland Sea.
Putting everything else aside, at least help him find his companion's body.
Upon learning of Lu Mingfei's plans, Fingel has barely rested these past two days, constantly thinking about how to shine and repay his boss. With such enthusiasm, if Lu Mingfei were to find a street lamp to hang on, Fingel would probably have to stand on it as a stepping stone.
Of course, if Lu Mingfei hadn't kicked him away, he would have already clung to Lu Mingfei's leg and finished reciting Lu Bu's famous line about recognizing his father, successfully becoming his godfather.
As for Chu Zihang and Xia Mi, they also had something to do: go back and bring Zhao Xuzhen back.
