Chapter 468 I will prove who the real leader is.
Whether Pompeii will obediently stay at his family estate in Italy and wait for Lu Mingfei, this unwelcome guest, to come to his door is anyone's guess.
After all, this guy's whereabouts have always been a mystery, and like Caesar, he doesn't like staying at home.
However, the reasons for the two are completely different.
Caesar acted out of disgust for the hypocrisy and constraints of his family, while Pompeii, according to his own claim, did so to spread "love and peace" to beautiful women throughout the world who needed comfort.
Lu Mingfei estimated that he most likely wouldn't encounter this legendary stallion on this trip.
If Pompeii truly harbored some great, unspeakable secret, or was even Odin's important henchman, as he suspected, he would never be foolish enough to return at this critical juncture.
Otherwise, it's just a Fang Tangjing Roman storyboard. I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone this arrogant. I'll beat them up!
Lu Mingfei went to Gattuso's house this time with the real intention of seeking revenge and overturning the table; he didn't plan to be polite at all.
Angers knew this perfectly well, Caesar knew it clearly, the Gattuso family's high-ranking officials and the Senate hidden behind the scenes knew it even better, and even Odin knew it perfectly well.
But knowing this doesn't mean they have any good way to stop it.
Unless they are ruthless enough to directly activate the Heavenly Punishment System and launch a precise surgical strike from near-Earth orbit against the private plane carrying Lu Mingfei and his group.
However, the consequences of this were far too severe, amounting to a declaration of war against the entire hybrid world and even ordinary human society.
Moreover, the precision guidance and firepower delivery of the Heavenly Punishment system rely heavily on the auxiliary calculations of the super artificial intelligence Eva.
Without Eva, its power is greatly reduced, and its accuracy is abysmal.
Angers holds a portion of the core control over Eva, and this old monster would never sit idly by.
As for Frost, the acting head of the family who was pushed to the forefront, his authority was actually quite limited.
He thought he had successfully sidelined his brother Pompeii and held absolute power, but little did he know that he had no access to many of the family's most closely guarded secrets.
He was completely unaware of some inside information, even from his secretary Percy, whom he had personally chosen and believed to be utterly loyal and completely transparent with him.
This information asymmetry led Frost to a fatal misjudgment.
He still felt that with Lu Mingfei coming to his door, there was still room for negotiation and things could be turned around.
In his view, Pompeii's disappearance and reluctance to return to face the truth was due to his cowardice and worthlessness. The elders were blind to have chosen such a person as their head!
But Frost is different!
In this direct confrontation with Lu Mingfei, he will demonstrate the demeanor and strength befitting the Gattuso family, proving who truly deserves the position of family head!
Just as Frost was strutting about arranging the welcoming ceremony and rehearsing various negotiation scenarios, Lu Mingfei and his entourage had already left the VIP channel at Beijing Airport, passed through security, and were preparing to board their plane.
There weren't many people seeing him off, but their presence was significant.
Angers was present in person, accompanied by Professor Mans, as well as several heads of mixed-race families, including Zhou Minhao.
Their expressions varied, but their gazes were all focused on the young man in the lead.
Angers looked at Lu Mingfei's back, which was tucked into his pocket with one hand, seemingly oblivious to the presence of an opponent, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Professor Mans, standing beside him, heard the sigh and asked curiously, "Principal, why are you sighing?"
Angers' gaze was deep as he stared at the passenger plane about to take off, as if he were looking at the plane that had carried the little boy and the fat man:
"Previously, only Asia was in turmoil, but now that they've gone, Europe will probably be thrown into chaos as well."
I fear that in a few days, the whole world will be turned upside down.
It wasn't that he was being overly pessimistic; it was simply the way things were in the world.
This is a world where everyone is trying to be the worst. The fact that the Secret Society can maintain its bottom line among so many mixed-race societies is entirely due to him and some old guys enforcing discipline.
If it weren't for him and Kassel College traveling all over the world dealing with dragon-related matters, those lawless hybrids would have long ago seized territory and disregarded human life.
Even so, there are still many areas that Kassel College cannot cover, leaving darkness and evil to fester.
If Lu Mingfei were to see this, given his nature of hating evil, he would probably strike with his sword to vanquish the demon and restore justice to the world.
Professor Mans paused for a moment, then turned to look at the two red-haired girls who were already boarding the plane.
Well, the younger generation will have their own destiny. In that person's words, the world will always belong to those who come after.
Those old folks should just focus on doing their own thing.
Set yourself a small goal first, such as digging out Fenrir's dragon bones within a month.
Angers watched the plane begin to taxi onto the runway, then turned and left the airport with his entourage.
Zhou Minhao stood there, watching the plane disappear into the distance.
His task was simply to provide necessary assistance and services to Lu Mingfei during his domestic activities.
Now that Lu Mingfei is going abroad to cause trouble, he naturally won't follow him anymore, and Lu Mingfei won't let him follow either.
After all, this is slapping someone in the face on their turf, which falls into the category of personal grudges.
If people from mixed-race Eastern families are involved, the nature of the conflict changes, and it could easily escalate into a conflict between regional powers, which would be a huge problem.
What started as a minor incident escalated into a major one when members of a mixed-race Eastern family entered the fray, turning the initial plan of confiscation of property and silencing of witnesses into the extermination of nine generations of relatives.
The fastest direct flight from Beijing to Rome takes at least eleven hours.
In the spacious business class, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi sat together. One remained expressionless, while the other smiled charmingly. Every now and then, the two heads would lean together and whisper something. Occasionally, Xia Mi would magically pull out some snacks from her pocket and share them with Chu Zihang.
It's clear that their relationship has improved after meeting each other's parents.
They don't carry people on their backs anymore!
Lu Mingfei and Erii occupied a row, engrossed in reading a thick comic book.
In this era, most electronic devices are not allowed on airplanes, and entertainment options are limited; otherwise, the two of them would probably be watching anime together with headphones on right now.
These two are really relaxed. If you didn't know them, you'd think they were just here for a summer camp trip.
Caesar and Nono sat together, with Ricardo, an energetic and curious boy, sandwiched between them.
Nuonuo patiently took care of her younger brother, telling him stories like "Lin Daiyu uprooting the willow tree and Lu Zhishen dismantling the Grand View Garden three times" to soothe his emotions caused by the long flight.
Caesar would occasionally glance at the sea of clouds outside the window, and sometimes whisper a few words to Nono. His face showed no signs of the trepidation that comes with returning home, only a calm acceptance of the settled world.
He was waiting for the plane to land so he could confront the family he both loathed and couldn't completely sever ties with.
Some people are studying MSI's competitors, while others are already researching the steps to change the company name to Gulweg.
Finally, there was the kidnapper and hostage duo, Fingel and Percy, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Fingel is a typical example of someone who forgets his mistakes easily, or rather, he simply doesn't care about the kidnapping of Percy.
Right now, he was very familiar with Percy, trying to strike up a conversation and ask about gossip, like what good food and fun things to do in Rome to recommend, and whether that old man Frost had any shady little quirks, like collecting shoujo manga or secretly wearing women's clothes.
Despite being gossiped about like this, Percy remained calm and spoke in a peaceful tone.
Although he had been kidnapped by Fingel using less-than-honorable, even despicable, methods, he knew in his heart that it was only because Fingel wanted to save trouble and avoid causing too much of a commotion, and it did not mean that Fingel's true strength was inferior to his.
If they were to fight to the death, the two of them could probably demolish half a floor, but the process would be more complicated, and they would both be badly injured and it would be difficult to end the fight.
Therefore, he didn't actually take the previous events to heart.
It's just that I'm not as skilled as others.
There are so many monsters outside, and when he blends in, even he becomes very inconspicuous.
The Sorrow of Blood, if one's bloodline is too strong to integrate into a normal mixed-race group, will only lead to greater loneliness.
But he felt just like a battery thief who gets into a police station and is so happy he doesn't want to leave. Although the people here are sharp-tongued, it's definitely comfortable and relaxing to be around them.
So he took Fingel very seriously. When it came to questions about the Gattuso family's internal affairs or Frost's privacy, he would respond with a smile and vague answers, or simply change the subject by asking him how he felt about graduating, when he planned to find a girlfriend and get married at his age, where he planned to work in the future, and whether his relatives in the countryside were pressuring him to go on blind dates...
Xia Mi listened to the pointless conversation between Fingel and Percy in the row in front of her and found it somewhat boring. She remained highly focused throughout the journey, showing no signs of sleepiness.
The sky is Odin's home turf, where his fighting power can be maximized.
Moreover, this guy is suspected of developing a deeply entrenched and powerful organization, and is secretly hiding a super weapon capable of destroying a small city.
The Dragon King is powerful, but the nuclear weapons developed by humankind and branded as gods should not be underestimated.
Putting everything else aside, if a nuclear bomb equipped with an alchemical matrix or filled with excrement were to hit the Dragon King's head and explode instantly without any obstruction, even the most powerful Dragon King would have to drink a pot of Meng Po soup and slowly regain his lost memories and power after being cocooned and reborn.
Lu Mingfei is strong, but he is not omnipotent. If he were in real danger, he would not choose to abandon the entire plane and escape alone.
If a sudden attack were to occur, even a one-second delay in reaction would be enough to turn the tide against a speed at the level of a Dragon King.
Therefore, she decided to stay awake the whole time, acting as an extra sentinel, lest she wake up to find missiles hurtling towards her and Odin's world-destroying spell outside the porthole.
Lu Mingfei's trip to the Gattuso family has stirred up the nerves of countless forces in the world of mixed-race people.
His previous record was too impressive, having slain three Dragon Kings in a row. He was already regarded as the strongest dragon slayer in active service, and all of this was solid and without any exaggeration.
Those in the know understood that he was going to cause trouble for the Gattuso family and settle old scores.
Those who didn't know better might think Caesar was inviting a friend home, or speculate that a powerful dragon was about to awaken in the Roman region, and that he had taken on a dragon-slaying mission to earn a bounty.
Some factions, whether interested in the dragon-slaying project or simply wanting to watch the spectacle, chose to remain on the sidelines when the Gattuso family encountered trouble.
Everyone knows that Rome is the Gattuso family's stronghold, which has been built up over many years. The branch of the Kassel College there is practically the Gattuso family's private property, and outsiders have little say in it.
People have tried to commit crimes on their turf before, and the consequences were dire. Sometimes they even disappear without a trace. In short, the waters run deep.
Therefore, they all remained still, observing from a distance, preparing to pick up some useful scraps or something when the battlefield was cleaned up after the battle.
Of course, if Lu Mingfei really comes knocking on the Gattuso family's door, then things will get really interesting.
As one of the leading families in the Peruvian party, it has clashed with a rising star highly regarded by the party leader Angers, and may even turn against him. This is undoubtedly a test of the party's internal unity and existing order.
Many people are speculating about which side Angers will ultimately take, or whether he can still maintain control of the situation.
Little did they know, he had already chosen his side.
Just kidding, before Lu Mingfei became famous, he was always Lu Mingfei's biggest fan.
To accomplish the great task of slaying the dragon, we can do without those useless, lame insects, but we cannot do without a super-talented fighter like Lu Mingfei.
After a long, smooth, and monotonous flight, the special plane finally began to descend, breaking through the clouds, and the sunlight from the Mediterranean coast streamed in through the portholes.
The captain's announcement came over the intercom that the plane was about to land.
"Dear passengers, the plane is about to land at Rome Fiumicino Airport. Please stow your tray tables and straighten your seat backs..."
The plane landed smoothly on the runway, and after a slight turbulence, it slowly taxied to the designated parking position.
Following the flow of people, they passed through customs and immigration inspection.
The Gattuso family had clearly taken care of everything. The process went exceptionally smoothly, without any troublemakers trying to cause problems. The staff were all smiles, as if they would die if they didn't provide smiling service.
When the group walked out of the arrival hall, the scene before them was truly a little amazing.
The Gattuso family members, all dressed in sharp black suits and wearing sunglasses, stood in neat rows like two silent sculptures, waiting for their turn.
There were no fewer than thirty people, each with a robust build, solemn expression, sharp eyes, and a powerful aura.
They stood there, not like they were welcoming the young master and his friends, but more like they were welcoming a godfather or other gang leader in a gangster movie. They put on a grand show, attracting the attention of other travelers around them, who then walked around them.
What a joke! Everyone knows that Italy is most famous for the Mafia, an evil force that melts you with just a glance and explodes if you get too close.
Upon seeing their target appear, the leader, a man in a black suit, strode forward and bowed slightly to Caesar, who was leading the way.
"Young Master, welcome home."
After speaking, he looked at Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, the rising star of Kassel, who had kept a slight distance and hadn't stolen Caesar's thunder, and bowed respectfully in the same manner:
"Mr. Frost has prepared a banquet at the manor and awaits your arrival."
