Chapter 467 Humiliation is nothing to be ashamed of, it's just a matter of course.
The next morning, Chu Zihang woke up in the second-floor guest room, which had been unoccupied for a long time but had been cleaned up by Xia Mi, the "sweeping princess" and "air freshener princess," and was completely odorless.
The sky outside the window was nice, and the morning light cast dappled shadows of trees on the old floor through the glass.
The sheets and blankets smelled a bit like brain pills, probably because they had been sitting out for a long time. Even Xia Mi couldn't make them perfect.
Fortunately, Chu Zihang wasn't picky.
He slept soundly last night. There were no exciting night raids or any romantic surprises. It was just a very normal, even overly peaceful, night.
It's like a guy spending the night at his fiancée's house for the first time, sleeping right across from his future father-in-law. If he dares to sneak out at night, he'll turn into a washing machine, get a slap on the back, and be given an erection-inducing drug.
In fact, Chu Zihang did not have any unrealistic expectations about this.
Lying in the unfamiliar bed last night, listening to the faint sounds of Xia Mi coming from the next room, he was indeed restless.
But his strong self-discipline and unwavering will allowed him to forcefully discard the chaotic thoughts in his mind and directly use meditation to fall asleep, forcing himself into a state of sleep.
The effect was so remarkable that he didn't even dream about it.
While he got up to tidy up the bed and rearrange it, Xia Mi in the other master bedroom was a little unhappy.
Last night, she was thinking about whether to pretend to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, accidentally go into the wrong room, or even accidentally get into the wrong bed, to see how that idiot would react.
And what was the result?
While she was still devising her night raid plan and how to seduce the innocent young man, the next room, after an initial rustling sound, soon began to echo with even and deep breathing!
That guy actually fell asleep!
And he was sleeping quite soundly!
Xia Mi was so angry she almost punched the wall to pieces. She grabbed his collar, shook him violently, and shouted at him:
"At your age, with the world's cutest girl sleeping next door, how can you possibly sleep soundly?! Have you no self-respect at all?!"
That idiot, he's got a complete blockhead.
If you tell him to sleep well and not to do anything bad, he will actually sleep obediently, without any initiative at all!
It can only be said that she is a giant python of the mortal world, not a white snake, and Chu Zihang is not a doctor selling medicine, otherwise he would have already given birth to five innocent children.
A sense of frustration arises, like giving a flirtatious glance to a blind man.
There was nothing she could do; if the other party didn't respond, she couldn't very well just go and kill them—that would be too much of a waste.
It undermines her majesty as Queen of the Earth and Mountains.
In the end, Xia Mi could only hug the blanket angrily and drift off to sleep with a hint of resentment.
However, this minor unpleasantness did not last long.
Waking up to find the sunlight streaming through the window into the familiar room, and hearing Chu Zihang making breakfast for her after he finished washing up, the girl's mood instantly brightened.
Garlic bird, garlic bird, why bother arguing with a little boy? He's already got a duck in your mouth, he can't escape.
The two ate a simple quick breakfast they had bought the night before, which was cooked by Chu Zihang with precise control of the heat.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they prepared to set off and contacted Cheng Shuangfan to inquire whether the "goods" were ready.
Although Lu Mingfei said they could take the opportunity to play for a few more days and enjoy some rare time alone together.
But Odin had just attacked his mother last night, and Chu Zihang was a little worried about his father, whose fate was unknown and whose whereabouts were still uncertain.
No one knows whether Odin, enraged by the destruction of his clone, will do something to the captured man.
Moreover, eliminating Odin as soon as possible would save him from constantly worrying about the risk of his base being raided.
Therefore, it is the right thing to do to meet as soon as possible and discuss the next steps.
The group from the Solomon Temple has been detained at the East China branch of Kassel College and has not been returned to this day.
In the past, when they were exchanging words, the Temple Order demanded that the Secret Society hand over the hostages. But now that the Laurent family has declared war on them, the Secret Society is forced to take their side and demand that they hand over the murderer of the former head of the Laurent family.
They're currently in a dog-eat-dog situation.
However, that's a struggle between foreign forces, and it doesn't affect the domestic situation.
Cheng Shuangfan was extremely meticulous in his work, and he made thorough preparations to cover up the truth in order to safely transfer Zhao Xuzhen.
Not only did they acquire a full set of medical equipment and documents, disguising Zhao Xuzhen as a critically ill patient who needed to be urgently transferred to Beijing for treatment, but they also chartered a small business jet and equipped it with professional medical personnel to ensure that no accidents would occur during the journey.
But things don't have to be that complicated. Xia Mi can just snap her fingers and Zhao Xuzhen will stand up and move on his own, without wasting so much manpower and resources.
However, considering that Kassel College is paying for all of this, Cheng Shuangfan can also take the opportunity to squeeze out some mission funds, so it's like taking advantage of a rich patron.
When Chu Zihang and Xia Mi arrived at the airport, everything was already prepared.
Cheng Shuangfan looked at the two walking side by side. The young man was tall and had a cold face, while the girl had a bright and lovely smile. They looked like a perfect match.
The usually serious S-class executive couldn't help but show a hint of relief on his face, as if he were seeing his old friend's carefully raised wild boar finally pluck a beautiful cabbage, and he felt proud of it.
After giving a brief explanation, Cheng Shuangfan patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder and earnestly instructed him, "Zihang, be careful on the road. Take good care of Xia Mi, and take good care of yourself too."
After saying that, she winked at him, clearly meaning, "Seize the opportunity, don't miss out on such a wonderful girl."
Chu Zihang nodded expressionlessly: "Take care too, Uncle Cheng."
He knew that, besides tormenting Zhao Xuzhen, Cheng Shuangfan was still determined to find the Shao sisters who had escaped from his grasp.
Xia Mi, looking completely obedient to her husband, replied sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle Cheng. We'll take good care of ourselves."
Cheng Shuangfan laughed heartily, saw the two onto the plane, and then turned to leave, continuing to fight for her pride.
As a high-ranking S-class executive, his first job back in the country went wrong. If he doesn't get his revenge, what will the rest of the organization think of him?
Dude, how come you have even more butterflies than Joe Hart?
The plane smoothly glided across the sky, pierced through the clouds, and flew towards the capital.
Several hours later, the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport, where staff from the Kassel College branch had already sent a car to wait for them.
Because Finger had been working overtime like crazy lately and was too busy to be there, the person who came to pick him up at the airport was another specialist from the branch office who was in charge of field operations.
They were also well disguised, wearing white coats and driving a van disguised as a medical transport vehicle. They quickly lifted Zhao Xuzhen on a stretcher into the vehicle, which then drove away from the airport, merged into traffic, and soon disappeared.
When Zhao Xuzhen reappeared, he was already in a laboratory of Research Institute No. 7.
Lu Mingfei had been waiting there for a long time.
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi had already explained their encounter with Odin on the phone yesterday, so there's no need to mention it again.
With business at hand, there was no time for pleasantries, and without even giving Zhao Xuzhen a chance to wake up, Lu Mingfei stepped forward and grabbed the top of Zhao Xuzhen's head roughly.
The next moment, an invisible spiritual force, like a surging tide, forcefully broke through Zhao Xuzhen's mental defenses, charging wildly through the depths of his memory like a pig charging into the ground.
Zhao Xuzhen's body trembled violently, his eyes rolled back, and he made painful hoarse sounds in his throat, but he couldn't even resist.
A moment later, Lu Mingfei released his grip, and Zhao Xuzhen collapsed like a limp rag doll, falling into a deep coma.
Whether he will wake up, and when he will wake up, is up to fate.
"As expected of Dai Ying, the Temple of Solomon is quite resourceful..." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, digesting the information he had just acquired.
These bloodline believers actually keep dragons in private. Although their numbers are small and the number of generations is low, they can achieve a synergistic effect of 1+1 greater than 2 when fighting alongside dragon knights.
Moreover, these dragons are not only used as mounts and battle partners for dragon riders, but also provide some dragon chromosomes at appropriate times to see if young women can give birth to pure-blooded offspring.
Moreover, in the fragments of Zhao Xuzhen's memory, there seems to be the shadow of another, even more ancient and mysterious organization hidden behind the Solomon Temple.
Combined with their advanced biomedical technology, which far surpasses that of ordinary hybrids, and their obsessive belief in breeding super hybrids...
A hint of suspicion flashed in Lu Mingfei's eyes: "Could they be backed by the Holy Palace Medical Association?"
Good news! A hidden clue has been found.
These guys hiding in the shadows, peeking out from behind the scenes, are indeed connected in some way.
While Lu Mingfei was searching Zhao Xuzhen's memories, Lao Tang, Constantine, and Long Ma Xun also returned with the precious alchemical materials they had retrieved from Bronze City.
Their journey went quite smoothly; they did not encounter Odin, nor did any foolish individuals step in to obstruct their path.
"Looks like Odin thought we were too tough a nut to crack, so he turned to pick on the easier ones instead." Old Tang spread his hands, a smile on his face.
Humiliation always nourishes silently, like spring rain.
Constantine was puzzled by another question:
Jormungandr, who was so weak before, actually managed to protect Chu Zihang's mother on Odin's home turf and even killed his clone.
Is this what humans call the power of love?
After thinking it over, he realized that it seemed to be true; he was the only single person in Lu Mingfei's gang.
Even Fingel, that seemingly carefree guy, has a beloved girlfriend in his heart, and he can endure for many years and risk everything to revive his lover.
He's been incredibly busy these past few days, finally getting the Eva revival project team up and running.
"I'm entrusting Eva's matter to you." Fingel walked over, his face unusually serious and solemn.
Old Tang and Constantine were staying at Research Institute Seven, and he couldn't help them.
"Don't worry, we're brothers!" Old Tang patted Fingel's chest; a man's promise is often made silently.
Constantine nodded as well.
As the kings of bronze and fire, they were born at odds with the kings of the ocean and water.
And coincidentally, Fingel's enemy, the direct murderer of the Greenland Sea incident, was the King of the Ocean and Water.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, especially since his brother and Fingel were actually quite close friends.
Lu Mingfei has already sorted through Zhao Xuzhen's memories.
Unfortunately, this guy is just a candidate knight. He has not yet obtained his own exclusive dragon mount, so he has no access to the Temple's most core secrets and has no clues about the Holy Palace Medical Association.
But it doesn't matter, Lu Mingfei is not disappointed, knowing where the hideout is is enough.
After visiting the Gattuso family in Italy, he will personally go to the headquarters of the Solomon Temple to have a good chat with their elders and say some heartfelt words.
Su Enxi has already made all the arrangements, including a private plane to Italy.
The power transition between Caesar and Nono in the Chen family has temporarily come to an end, and they can leave at any time.
It's time to set off and wreak havoc on the next hybrid power.
Angers and the other mixed-race families in Beijing were all aware of Lu Mingfei's next move, but no one raised any objections.
Angers, needless to say, had already reached an understanding with Lu Mingfei, hoping that the other party would spare Frost and Pompeii's lives for the sake of his old reputation.
Meanwhile, the attention of the other mixed-race families was focused on the Chen family, who had "whale fall".
With Lu Mingfei, the leader of the martial arts alliance, gone, the strongest deterrent is gone. However, the Chen family has now chosen to submit, greatly reducing their resistance, which makes it easier for them to pounce and devour the spoils.
Even though you can only get the scraps, it's still better than not getting anything at all.
You just need to take the lead, and others will follow to charge and clean up the battlefield.
Upon learning that Lu Mingfei's next stop was the Gattuso family in Italy, Passy, who had been arranged by Frost to take refuge at the Kassel College branch after escaping the sanatorium, finally couldn't sit still any longer.
He chose to reveal himself and, once again, became a sycophant, following Caesar to his side.
Lu Mingfei did not hide anything about Percy's physical condition and shared it with Caesar.
Caesar then realized that the senior secretary in front of him, who was always taciturn and obedient to Frost, had a bloodline far superior to his own, and had even crossed the dangerous bloodline limit.
Similar to Erii's previous situation, she can only barely suppress the raging dragon blood in her body with the help of drugs, otherwise she may lose control at any time and degenerate into a mindless Deadpool.
After learning the truth, Caesar's attitude towards Percy softened somewhat.
Like himself, Percy did not choose this dangerous fate willingly.
While things improved slightly, his hatred for the Gattuso family deepened.
As expected of someone from the Mafia, they were all born into that family.
Oh, besides himself, there's also Percy, who counts as half.
Every single one of them was a bad person.
That old man Frost is certainly well aware of all this, but as long as it benefits the family, he will support and condone such immoral behavior without hesitation.
Morality and law can all give way to the interests of the Gattuso family.
They didn't even care about his life.
On the way to the airport, Caesar glanced at Percy driving quietly ahead and suddenly asked:
"How did Frost react when he found out Lu Ming was coming? Did he panic?"
Percy's voice remained as calm and respectful as ever: "Mr. Frost said that the family will receive your friend with the highest honors."
The implication is that they are panicked, but not extremely panicked.
“Friends?” Caesar scoffed, his tone full of sarcasm. “Is it that you don’t want to tear off the mask and make things too ugly, or that you’re afraid to confront Lu Mingfei head-on?”
He shook his head, finding Frost's attempt to play word games and diplomatic rhetoric at a time like this both laughable and pathetic.
Frost was too naive, always trying to solve problems within the rules of the game.
A true madman doesn't follow any rules of the game; his rules are the real rules.
I wonder where that womanizer who went around chasing girls all over the world is now, and whether he'll ever come back.
If he were there, he would like to ask some questions.
