Chapter 41: Funeral in Hell
Finilte was too imposing, and the two slaps intimidated everyone. No one in the family dared to say a word. They took small steps back cautiously, fearing that they would block her way. Naturally, they did not dare to stop her from taking Mingnuo away.
In fact, Mingnuo was also shocked. He always thought that Sister Finilte was gentle and amiable, but who knew that she would slap him twice.
He is indeed the savior sent by his brother to save him.
Ming Nuo looked up at Finelte with starry eyes and admiration, "Sister, you are so amazing."
Finelte stared at Mingnuo with calm blue eyes and gave him advice, "Next time, listen to your brother. If he tells you to fight, then go for it without worry."
Ming Nuo nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I understand, sister."
At this moment, in the living room, Eli secretly glanced around. Everyone looked listless, as if they had been slapped by Finilte.
Gracie's parents cried and hugged him. His mother tearfully said to the old man, "Dad, Finelt is really too much. Gracie is her brother, and she actually hit him so hard."
"Look at this swollen face... It breaks my heart as a mother just looking at it."
The old man picked up his cane and hit her hard. "What's the use of complaining to me? That little girl has never taken me seriously since she was a child. It's all because of you who are not up to the task that she has come to this point today!"
Gracie's parents were silent now and didn't dare to talk back to the old man. They all depended on him for their livelihood.
Eli was almost dying of laughter watching the infighting among the group. He cleared his throat, looked up and said sincerely to the dazed old man, "My sister must have misunderstood something. Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll go and explain it to her."
The old man didn't have a kind expression at all at this moment. He was shrouded in a low pressure. His cloudy eyes stared at Eli and said sternly: "Then why don't you go!"
Eli secretly rolled his eyes and shook himself deliberately, as if he was frightened and about to cry. "I'll be there right away, Grandpa, don't be angry. Don't get yourself hurt by it."
I’m so angry at you, you old fool! Eli cursed in his heart and turned around to chase after them. Fortunately, Mingnuo and the others hadn’t left yet.
Ming Nuo saw him running over and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
There were no Flynn family members nearby, so Eli showed his true character. He looked at Finilte fearfully and moved closer to Mingnuo. "He must have taken the opportunity to run away. That old man is angry. If I stayed there, I would definitely be scolded and beaten."
Ming Nuo opened his eyes wide: "He can hit people?"
"It hurts so much." Eli was furious at the thought, "And he pretended to be doing it for my own good, which was disgusting."
"I was young at the time and I really believed that he was so strict with me because he really wanted to train me. Otherwise, I would have reported him to Anka Garden long ago."
No wonder my brother is always on guard against grandpa like he is a thief. He actually has a tendency towards domestic violence!
Ming Nuo's favorability towards his grandfather completely dropped below zero, and his blue eyes showed no dislike for him. If this old man forced him to do anything again, he would definitely strike back hard.
Seeing that Mingnuo and Eli had a pretty good relationship, Finilte raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Are you friends with this little green tea?"
Little green tea?
Ming Nuo was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that the name was referring to Eli. "Yes, sister, he and I were classmates, and he was the one who told me about that old man's plan. He's different from Grandpa and his group."
Eli was very afraid of Finilte. He held Mingnuo's arm and hid behind him, not daring to face Finilte's gaze.
Finilte glanced at Eli and said "hmm" softly, as if he didn't care what kind of person Eli was. "Let's go, I'll take you to school."
Just as Eli was about to refuse, Mingnuo pulled him to follow Finilte.
After getting on Finilte's hovercar, Mingnuo looked around in amazement. The dark purple hovercar was dotted with diamonds, as dazzling as the summer starry sky.
There is a pleasant light fragrance floating in the car, and cute plush dolls are placed inside.
Mingnuo picked up a stuffed rabbit and squeezed it in his hands. Seeing Eli's expression, sitting stiffly beside him, he handed the rabbit to him and said, "It's okay. Sister Finilte is fine."
Mingnuo's spiritual power gently soothed the other person, and Eli's tense nerves slowly relaxed. He smiled at Mingnuo and said, "Thank you."
In fact, Eli didn't want to appear so panicked, but Finilte had been a nightmare for this group of young people since childhood.
Her grandfather resented that she had inherited a seat in parliament and was about to become the distinguished Speaker of Parliament, but he refused to arrange a seat for his family in parliament, so he belittled and insulted her in front of them.
Every time Finilte came back, there was a bloody storm. As time went by, this elder sister became a nightmare in the hearts of every younger generation.
Eli leaned on Mingnuo's shoulder, feeling the warm and gentle breath on his body. The irritability in his heart was swept away. He slowly closed his eyes, cherishing this hard-earned moment of peace.
An hour and a half later, the hovercraft arrived at the school gate, and Finilte got off with Mingnuo.
Ming Nuo was deeply moved. "No need to send me off, sister. I can go in by myself."
Finilte walked past Mingnuo without stopping, and walked into the school first. "No, my friend is teaching here, and I came to see her."
So embarrassing... Ming Nuo's fair face flushed slightly because of his own self-conceit. He smiled awkwardly, "Oh...Is that so?"
Eli looked at Mingnuo with sympathy and wanted to tap his toes for him.
"By the way." Before parting with Mingnuo, Finilte suddenly turned to him and said, "Don't worry about that old man causing you any trouble in the future. My mother will go find him tonight and she will take care of everything."
The tone sounded as if they wanted to make sure that old Patriarch Flynn would not see the sun tomorrow, but Aunt Dilina was the old man's daughter after all, so she should just go and talk reason with him.
Ming Nuo thought this in his heart with a stern face, and suddenly remembered that he had not answered Finilte yet, so he nodded and said quickly: "...Okay, thank you sister."
Seeing that he was acting silly and had a helpless look in his eyes, Finilte said nothing, but just rubbed Mingnuo's head into a mess before leaving.
Ming Nuo sighed and smoothed his hair, then said to Eli, "Let's go back to the dormitory."
Seeing that he was carrying something, Eli took the initiative to help share a bag, and said in a light and cheerful tone, "Well, let's go."
The dormitory building was some distance away from the main entrance of the school. Ming Nuo walked downstairs to the dormitory building and was about to go upstairs when he saw a black-haired boy in black clothes walking down the stairs.
Ming Nuo glanced at his face. He didn't know the other person, but he could see that there was something wrong with him at a glance.
The boy had black alarms on his exposed wrists and neck. Mingnuo had once gone to the Imperial Prison with his brother, and the criminals there wore these things on their necks and wrists.
The alarm indicates the identity of the criminal. At the same time, there is a positioning system in the chip that monitors the criminal's every move at all times. Once any abnormality is detected, the guard will press the electric shock button immediately.
But this guy clearly looks like a student? Why is he wearing this?
Ming Nuo couldn't help but look at him twice more. The young man noticed his gaze and raised his black eyes to look at him. After seeing Ming Nuo's appearance clearly, he clenched his fists, tightened his jawline, and stared at Ming Nuo.
Why are you glaring at him? Ming Nuo was confused for a moment, then he also frowned and glared back fiercely.
Eli was also confused when he saw the sudden tension between the two men, but he subconsciously stood beside Mingnuo and glared at each other with him.
Maybe it was two against one that scared this guy.
The boy glanced at Ming Nuo and walked past them with suppressed anger.
Looking at the man's back, Ming Nuo felt baffled and complained to Eli, "I didn't provoke him, why is he glaring at me? It's so annoying."
Eli thought about it and confirmed that he had never met this person before. "He can't be new here. I've never heard of someone coming to school halfway."
Ming Nuo hated this person and didn't want to discuss anything related to him. "Who knows? Never mind him."
Back at the dormitory door, Mingnuo waved goodbye to Yilai. Eli's roommate from Saichuan Empire looked at them as if he had seen a ghost. He asked Eli blankly, "Did you really succeed in paying for it?"
Eli chuckled coldly, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Maybe it's because I'm talented. I can't help it, because I'm good-looking and friendly. I'm afraid you can't learn these unique conditions."
roommate:"……"
You'd have to be crazy to talk to this guy.
Ming Nuo pushed open the dormitory door, and a white fur ball half the height of a man instantly hit him in the arms. The powerful recoil made him step back a few steps. He looked down and said in shock: "Cotton?!"
Cotton threw his head back and whimpered twice, circling around him happily.
Ming Nuo held its big face in his hands and looked at its body, which was about the size of a large dog. He was shocked and muttered, "It's okay that Sedwick is so good at raising children, but how can he raise a pet so big..."
Sedwick leaned against the door, his gray eyes glancing into Mingnuo's. "It's not my problem, it's probably a problem with its species. It's a large animal. How about you? How are your eyes?"
Ming Nuo blinked and said, "It's completely healed now. I don't need to wear contact lenses anymore."
Sedwick nodded. "That's good."
Field and Lin Yu were also in the dormitory. When they saw Mingnuo coming back, they greeted him and Mingnuo distributed the gifts he brought to them.
"The latest holographic helmet?!" Field picked up the gift in surprise. "I was planning to buy this. It seems we really are in sync. I love it. Thank you, our sweet Nono!"
Lin Yu's gift was a bottle of perfume. After receiving it, he couldn't wait to spray it on Field's bed. The fresh and elegant fragrance spread throughout the dormitory. "That's exactly what I need."
Field was shocked. "You think I smell bad? I take a shower at least twice a day!"
Lin Yu sprayed the perfume twice more. "I'm just trying the smell, don't be too sensitive. By the way, your socks haven't been washed yet. You will wash them today, right?"
Field: "...Can't we keep it there for another day?"
Lin Yu: "No."
Field went to wash his socks with a sigh, and Minno gave him Sedwick's gift, which was an exquisite model of a warship.
"This model..." Sedwick looked at the model with surprise in his eyes, "Isn't it out of print?"
"Let me see it." Field put down his socks and ran over, looking at the model in shock. "X-series warships... I've learned a lot."
Ming Nuo didn't know much about these models. "Does being out of print mean it's precious? I found this in my gift room. It seems to be a first birthday present from my brother."
"It's very expensive," Sedwick said. "If it were at an auction, the starting price for this one would be over two million star coins. It has a very high collectible value."
Ming Nuo was shocked. Such a small model was worth so much money?!
Sedwick handed the model to him and said, "Take it back."
"Forget it." Although Ming Nuo was shocked by its value, he would not be reluctant to take it back. "I said this is a gift I brought you, so it is yours now."
Sedwick looked at his painful expression, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, he took a step forward, and gently pulled him into his arms, "Well, thank you."
Sedwick's skeleton was a circle larger than Mingnuo's, so he could easily hold him in his arms. Mingnuo suddenly became a little nervous the moment he approached, and finally this familiar breath moved a little closer and then retreated.
It's very measured and won't make him feel offended by the invaded territory.
Sedwick refuses to have too close contact with others, and Mingnuo knows this best. Therefore, this kind of ambiguous intimacy makes Mingnuo confused. Is his intimacy... the intimacy of friends?
Mingnuo pursed his lips and looked up at Sedwick, who looked at him calmly.
The atmosphere suddenly froze, and Mingnuo and Sedwick stared at each other's eyes, as if they were playing a competition in which whoever blinked first would lose.
Cotton smelled the scent of food, but Mingnuo didn't come to feed it. Instead, he kept staring at the two-legged human. Cotton was so anxious that he circled around him, making a urging sound, "Woo, woo, woo."
I'm hungry and want to eat.
Ming Nuo slowly turned his face away from Sedwick's gaze and blinked his dry eyes. So how could he think that Sedwick would like him? This man would probably only be in love with his number one.
Mingnuo put this outrageous idea behind him and took out some pet snacks to feed Mianhua. Mianhua couldn't wait to eat them, and looked like a carefree kid while happily eating.
"You weigh at least 50 or 60 kilograms now. You're too fat, Mianhua. You should lose weight." Ming Nuo squatted beside Mianhua and touched its sturdy flesh, with a worried look on his face. "You won't grow any more, will you?"
I'm afraid I can't stay in that dormitory anymore.
There are two important reasons why cotton can stay in the dormitory: it is small in size and does not shed.
Although it has fluffy hair, Cotton never sheds. Mingnuo didn't even notice a single hair it shed. When he touched it a few times, it didn't leave a hand full of hair like cats and dogs.
Sedwick frowned as he examined the cotton plant. "We should take it to have its species identified. What if it keeps growing?"
In less than half a year, Cotton grew from a small white ball into a large Samoyed. This is simply unbelievable.
Ming Nuo nodded and said, "Show it to Professor Elena tomorrow."
Professor Elena specializes in veterinary medicine and will definitely be able to recognize the varieties of cotton. They also need to ask her how big cotton can grow so that they can be mentally prepared.
In the evening, Mingnuo lay down on the bed after taking a shower. He stretched out his limbs comfortably on the soft bed, and all the fatigue of the whole day was swept away at this moment.
Sleepiness soon came over me.
When Mingnuo was drowsy, the bed suddenly shook, and a round head lay beside his bed. Mianhua struggled to squeeze himself onto the bed, and his huge body instantly occupied the entire bed.
As per its previous habit, Mianhua jumped directly onto Mingnuo and stepped on his chest with its front paws. The fifty kilograms of weight pressed down on Mingnuo, waking him up instantly.
Ming Nuo almost couldn't catch his breath. He reached out and pushed the big furry ball, "You're going to crush me to death, get off now!"
Cotton didn't understand what people were saying, and thought Mingnuo was joking with him, so he licked Mingnuo's chin affectionately, "Woo woo~"
Ming Nuo suspected that he would be murdered by Mianhua tonight, so he urgently called out, "Sedwick! Lin Yu! Field! Come and save me."
Lin Yu, who was in the bed next to him, was the first to discover it. He took a step forward and went over to Mingnuo's bed and picked up Mianhua. Mianhua was reluctant to leave Mingnuo and kept whining and growling at Lin Yu.
Sedwick jumped out of bed and into the dormitory hallway, took the cotton from Lin Yu's hand, and hit it on the forehead. "Don't you know how much you weigh?"
Cotton lowered his head in grievance, "Woo woo..."
Why do people scold it?
Ming Nuo rubbed his chest, which was sore from being stepped on. He looked at Mian Hua unhappily and said, "You are not allowed to come up and sleep with me. Do you understand? You are a big boy now."
The small single bed cannot accommodate the heavyweight cotton for the time being.
In order to avoid Cotton's attack again at night, he was driven to the balcony by these ruthless two-legged humans. There was a makeshift nest there, and he stayed there aggrievedly, licking his fur and swallowing all the fur into his stomach.
The dormitory fell into darkness again, the night was quiet and silent, but Flynn Manor welcomed a long-lost guest.
Dilina walked all the way to the old man's bedroom. No servant dared to stop her. Everyone knew that she had more say in this family than the old man.
Dilina wore a gorgeous silver-white dress today. Her waist-length blonde hair was dazzling and the expensive necklace on her neck sparkled under the light. She pushed open the old man's door and walked in slowly.
In an instant, the dim lights in the room were turned on. The old man, who was still half asleep and hadn't opened his eyes yet, cursed angrily, "Get out! Who gave you the guts to enter my room?"
Dilina raised the corners of her lips and said softly, "Father, can't you even recognize me now?"
The old man sat up in panic, his wrinkled face full of fear, as if the person standing in front of him was not his biological daughter, but a murderer with blood on his hands.
The old man's lips trembled, "Why are you here?"
Dilina slowly closed the door, glanced at the closed window, turned off the air circulator, and looked at her biological father with a smile, "I came to see you, father."
The old man shuddered: "...I, I don't need you to visit me, please leave!"
Dilina approached step by step. The old man retreated in panic and crawled to the edge of the bed with his hands and feet. Seeing that he was about to fall, Dilina grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
"Are you so afraid of me, father?" Dilina stared at the aging face. She applied a little force with her hands, and the collar of her shirt squeezed the old man's neck, leaving deep bloody marks. "Then why did you want to meet with Lorian today, and even brought a bunch of people to block him? Didn't you think that I would be angry?"
The old man's face flushed red, his eyes bulged, and he suddenly became tough, staring at Dilina, "I, I am your father! Dilina Flynn, I am your father!"
"I know." Dilina bent down slightly, and a faint fragrance came as she approached. "So you still remember your identity as a father. Then when you forced us to curry favor with Baldwin, did you still remember that you were a father?"
Dilina threw the old man to the ground and watched him struggle on the ground indifferently.
The old man opened his mouth and breathed violently, his chest heaving up and down, his lips gradually turning black and blue, as if the air around him had been drained away and he was about to suffocate to death.
Dilina sat in a chair, recalling what happened back then. "My brother was a good kid, good at studying, good character, perfect. So you treated him like a commodity, giving him away to whoever could benefit you..."
"I remember your initial target was Baldwin. He was the one with the greatest hope of ascending the throne among the other princes at the time. It's a shame... who knew Herbert would become the dark horse along the way?"
Dilina looked at the convulsing old man with a hopeful look in her eyes. "Have you ever regretted hitting your brother? I'm sure you don't remember it, but let me remind you."
"You know the day my brother was with the hopeless Herbert, and you called him into the study and whipped him with a whip you had made for him, a whip with barbs on it. I remember it perfectly, because you whipped me too, don't you?"
The old man struggled to crawl to the window, "Open... open the window... open the window... open the window."
Dilina looked disappointed, but this was also within her expectations. After all, her father never apologized, and he didn't even think he had done anything wrong.
If her father were still conscious, he would just point at her and yell, "It's all my fault that you're where you are today. I was the one who inspired you back then. You should be grateful to me!"
Dilina looked down at her father, who had once been so arrogant and whipped them with a whip. "You never remember what my brother and I like, but we know you have a respiratory disease."
"Pray there's no hell. You don't want to meet Herbert."
The darkness was dispelled by the light emitted by the rising stars. Today was an unfortunate day. The old master of the Flynn family unfortunately passed away at the age of 245. The Star Network was full of condolences for him.
Because this old patriarch once taught at Helios College and was also a genius with perfect parenting scores. Of course, his greatest achievement was that he had twin children, Koning and Dilina.
As soon as Ming Nuo woke up, Lin Yu reminded him of the news. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously thought of Aunt Dilina.
No way...
He looked anxious and immediately contacted Aunt Dilina. After waiting for a few seconds, Aunt Dilina finally answered the phone. Her voice was normal and full of energy as usual. "What's wrong, baby Lorian?"
Ming Nuo: "No, it's the old Patriarch Flynn..."
"Alas, the indoor air circulator is broken, and Dad has a respiratory disease." Dilina's tone was low, and of course it only lasted for a few seconds. Then she changed the subject, "You don't have to go to the funeral, so as not to delay your studies."
Ming Nuo became more and more certain of a guess in his heart, but he did not blame his aunt. "Okay, I won't go."
Dilina laughed and said, "Good boy, auntie loves you."
