Act Eight The Secret Meeting of the School Governors
1| Hidden Secret Words
The watch on Chu Zihang's wrist showed that it was already eight o'clock in the evening. There had been a sudden increase in the number of events that needed to be dealt with on campus in the past few days. Lancelot had also graduated. He had just finished making arrangements and had not eaten yet. Chu Zihang took the key to open the door of the Norton Mansion, but it opened with a push. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had given the backup key to Xia Mi a few days ago.
The Norton Pavilion was the spoils of war from the Lionheart Club's One Day of Freedom this year. It was used as the venue for the Lionheart Club's meetings. However, there were too many rooms, so Chu Zihang moved in.
"Speaking of which, isn't it good to have roommates in the dormitory? Why did you move here?”Xia Mi asked.
"According to the dorm allocation table, I was in the same dorm as the freshman Viktor, but he was replaced a few days after school started. The new roommate is Caesar, the president of the freshmen's social gathering.”Chu Zihang lowered his head and quietly packed his things.
"Oh. Then didn't you use your 'A' level clearance to transfer it over?”Xia Mi nodded.
"I tried." Chu Zihang's movements paused." The person who was transferred has the authority of the black card. I have no right to transfer him back.”
"If that's the case, then I'll move in too.”Xia Mi spun around in the middle of the room." Aren't you lonely living alone in such a big house?”
"Lonely?" Chu Zihang was stunned.
" That's not what I meant..." Xia Mi's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and she shouted a little fiercely," I'm moving in anyway! It could save a few hundred dollars on accommodation fees! There are so many empty rooms. It won't be a bad thing for me to stay in one. I can also help you clean the room, tidy up the hall, and…"
Xia Mi actually counted them one by one with his fingers. Chu Zihang could only agree helplessly.
If Xia Mi were to make a scene, he might really not be able to take it...
Chu Zihang put the keys back into his pocket and pushed open the door. He was stunned when he saw several dishes neatly arranged on the table.
Xia Mi walked out of the kitchen in an apron with a plate of shredded potatoes in his hand. He smiled and said," You're back."”
Chu Zihang just wanted to cover his face…What was going on? Did I transmigrate to the home of a successful person? The crayfish actually knew how to cook…Why didn't it cook itself?
"You made it?" Chu Zihang tried his best to remain calm.
"No way." Xia Mi placed the shredded potatoes on the table and made a face." I ordered them from the restaurant. It's just that they're cold and hot. Today is my first day here. Shouldn't I welcome my new roommate? Shall we eat together?"
"Sure," Chu Zihang could only nod.
"Your place is quite simple. I just came back from the freshmen gathering. It looks very good!”Xia Mi looked at the painting on the wall that was still broken and commented.
"Freshmen gathering? You're also a member of the Lionheart Cultist, why do you always go there?”Chu Zihang frowned.
"I have friends."
The two of them were eating by themselves. It was very quiet, and the atmosphere was a little strange. One could not help but want to say something to break the silence.
"You skipped a year of classes and still followed the second grade? Don't you need extra lessons?" Chu Zihang finally managed to start a topic.
"Tutoring my clan? Are you kidding me? I don't need it!" Xia Mi's eyes widened.
Chu Zihang's eyes darkened, and his hand that was holding the chopsticks froze in the air."It's the Dragon Clan! Everything I explained to you when I came back was true! The codename Jemongad no longer belongs to me!”
Chu Zihang's stiff expression suddenly relaxed. He forced a smile." Eat."”
Xia Mi pouted as if she had suddenly thought of something. She reached for the shredded potatoes with her chopsticks." I almost forgot! Thank goodness it's not cold. I made this. Try it. I like to eat my neighbor's vinegar shredded potatoes the most in Beijing. The chef here doesn't cook well-"
Xia Mi swallowed it with great difficulty. He looked up at Chu Zihang with a tearless expression." I-I think I put too much vinegar in it…"
"A lot?" Chu Zihang raised his head and glanced at Xia Mi. He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth in disbelief.
A sour taste rose up, and it strongly stimulated Chu Zihang's taste nerves. It felt like a sour candy called " Xiudou " in China, but that kind was used to prank people... This was a dish!
"You…how much did you put in?”Chu Zihang rubbed his eyes. This dish was so sour that it could be used as tear gas.
" The vinegar potato strips I ordered aren't sour at all. I thought the vinegar in Cassel doesn't have any taste..." Xia Mi gestured with her hand and whispered," That's all..."
"Almost half a bottle!" Chu Zihang really wanted to cover his face.
"Oh, if you can't eat it, then throw it away.”Xia Mi stood up and picked up the plate to pour it away, but she hesitated. " In Beijing, I often go to my neighbor's grandma's house for dinner…" It seemed like she was explaining something to someone, but it also seemed like she wasn't. Her thin figure was covered in a layer of hazy light under the crystal chandelier in the hall, as if she could smell the loneliness.
If it was really as she said, being alone for so many years, perhaps she also craved warmth? Therefore, she would often go to the neighbor's grandmother's house to eat, letting the gas stove in the next house fall dust, just to have a trace of warmth.
Chu Zihang paused for a moment, stood up, and took the plate." Actually, it's alright."”He sat down, picked up a little, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it with difficulty.
"Hey, hey, is your taste ruined by my vegetables?”Xia Mi clearly didn't react in time.
" It doesn't matter." Chu Zihang simply picked up a little more. The sooner he died, the better." I like to be jealous."”
Xia Mi sat down again and stared at Chu Zihang seriously." Speaking of which, the word 'like to be jealous' is really subtle..."
Chu Zihang's face turned red and white as he ate.
Should he believe what she said? Perhaps they were no longer enemies and could have a friendly meal under the same roof. Who knew what would happen tomorrow? Just like that time, he was still hugging this delicate and fragile girl tightly, but in the next moment, he had no choice but to fight to the death. Was she really no longer…Jemengador?
Chu Zihang ate in big mouthfuls to cover up his slightly stinging eyes.
Lu Mingfei opened his eyes in a daze and saw a hazy white sky. Light seeped in through the gaps in the curtains. The pillow and blanket on his body were really warm. Lu Mingfei let out a happy grunt like a pig. He wanted to roll over, but he cried out in pain.
Lu Mingfei was completely awake from the pain. He was not sleepy at all. His eyes were wide open as he looked at his dangling right leg and the snow-white cast on it. He suddenly remembered what happened last night…No, what time was this? Where am I? What happened?
Lu Mingfei raised his head and stared blankly at the roof.
"You're finally awake." Nono pushed open the door and walked in. She was actually holding a bowl of shaved ice in her hand. She scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth." Sleeping like a dead pig."”
"You were so tired last night, and now you're so comfortable. Who doesn't want to sleep a little longer?”Lu Mingfei turned his head away to protest against his senior sister's inappropriate analogy.
"What are you tired of? Was it tiring to fall from the waterfall? Speaking of which, it was all thanks to your luck that I was able to escape from so many Deadpool. I was lucky enough to fall from the waterfall and only had a slight concussion.”Nono said lightly.
"Eh?" Lu Mingfei turned around nervously." Is there anything serious?"”
"Nothing." Nuo Nuo suddenly walked over and kicked the cast on Lu Mingfei's right foot." Who told you to hug me so tightly! Is it easy to take advantage of Senior Sister?"
Lu Mingfei rolled around on the bed in pain. Nuo Nuo pointed at him and laughed.
"Right…do you know how we escaped last night?”Lu Mingfei gasped and asked carefully.
"What else?" Nono threw a strange look at him." Didn't we just get flipped over by Deadpool's voice and fall from the waterfall? That damned brat hugged me so tightly."
Oh, I don't know. Lu Mingfei heaved a sigh of relief, but he also felt a little disappointed.
I've been a coward for so many years, but I still want to have an audience by being a hero once in a while…What kind of idiotic plot is this? You risked your life there without anyone knowing? He had risked his life to save others so many times, but no one knew about it. Last year, he had saved the entire city of Beijing, but no one had sent him a thank-you letter…Was it so easy to be an anonymous hero?
Lu Mingfei stared at the ceiling in a daze. The little devil's figure was faintly discernible, as if it was mocking him.
2| blood bursting
Beijing Hilton Hotel.
Angor stood at the door of the small conference room, leaning against the door and playing with his pocket watch. There were already a few people sitting at the conference table, but there were still two seats left. Lisa turned her head to look at the oil painting on the wall. The girl and the butler were whispering something. The middle-aged man had obviously just arrived and was taking off a towel from his neck to wipe his sweat. The other old man with a white beard was closing his eyes and meditating.
They were not waiting for the person who had never left the table. Frost had not arrived yet.
The sound of leather heels hitting the floor was getting closer. Frost walked past him and entered the room.
"You're rarely late, but we're all waiting for you.”Angor nodded and entered the meeting room. He turned the brass handle and slowly closed the heavy wooden door. Then, he turned around and sat down.
This year's board meeting began as scheduled.
Angor picked up the cup of black tea on the table and smiled." Are you wondering why there's tea here today? There would definitely be an argument later, but they had to drink less each time. From now on until the end of the meeting, no one would come in to refill the tea, because the content of today's discussion would determine the fate of the mixed-blood.”
Lisa sat up straight and looked at Angor." Let's continue the topic from last time, right?”
" Yes, but the Nibelungenlied plan is only one of the topics." Angers glanced at Frost." Someone insisted on adding another one.”
" Alright," he said as he rang the bell." Welcome, everyone. The meeting will now begin with the first topic. The candidates for the Nibelungenlied Plan, please-"
Anger was stunned. Frost jumped up from his seat like an irritable fighting sheep and rang the bell in a frenzy. The ear-piercing sound echoed in the room." I propose Caesar!”The girl sitting opposite him frowned in dissatisfaction. The other board members also looked at him in surprise.
Anger actually laughed and leaned back against the chair." I knew you would do this. I prepared the tea for you. I know the situation, but you don't have to be in such a hurry, do you? Haha." Follow the procedure!"
Frost panted and sat down. Anger looked at him with pity in his eyes.
"Although he has always been like a grumpy old goat…I mean, he has a bad temper, but I can probably explain it after he gets used to it.”Angers stood up." Everyone went to Caesar's wedding, right? Although it didn't succeed, the scene was really shocking.”
Frost raised his head and looked at Anger with a dark expression. Anger sighed." I know you're protecting your nephew…but we can't help you if you don't explain the problem clearly.”
"All you know is that Caesar has some problems…Well, to put it simply, he has learned how to burst blood.”Angor sat down." I wanted to release some pictures, but for the sake of the Gattuso family…Everyone, calm down.”
The board members had already stood up. The elders in their families had briefly explained the dangers of blood explosion to them without explaining in detail. However, no matter how brave the dragon slayer was, when it came to blood explosion, their faces would always look like they had seen a demon.
The worst outcome was becoming a Deadpool. When a powerful companion becomes a powerful enemy, either you die or I die. It was rumored that this was actually a sorrowful sacrifice. The wielder of too much power would eventually be devoured by the demons.
And now, it was the heir of the Gattuso family who had learned how to burst blood. The board members looked at each other and sat down. They waited for Anger's next words with half anticipation and half regret.
The young girl sat there as if she had known about all these things. However, it was normal. Her father had the most information channels among the dragon slayers. Nothing could escape the eyes of his family.
" Ahem." Anger slowed down his speech." It's not that bad. He hasn't become a Deadpool yet…I mean, alright, Frost, go ahead."”
Frost slowly got up, raised his head, and said slowly," I won't say much else. I'm sure everyone knows that Caesar is a very outstanding child. You've already learned about him at last year's meeting. Of course, I was also surprised by his refusal, but this was his natural arrogance as a king. Believe me, he is the best candidate for Project Nibelungenlied.”
Frost sat down. Lisa glanced at Angor and rang the bell.""But you still haven't explained the part about the HP drop.”
"Yes, I admit that his body can't withstand the power of the demons. He's already on the verge of death and might soon mutate. But I guarantee that the family can control him. If Caesar can get the support of the Nibelungenlied Project, he can completely cross the blood limit on the street and gain a new life, becoming the most powerful dragon slayer…and emperor of our era!”
The board members looked at Frost. At this moment, they couldn't feel the pride that was oozing out from his body. Instead, they felt a kind of aged sorrow.
" Sounds good... I think I can agree with Caesar..." The middle-aged man timidly rang the bell. The board members discussed in low voices. Frost picked up the black tea and slowly took a sip.
"I disagree!" A crisp voice accompanied by the ringing of the bell suddenly exploded above the conference table. Frost trembled slightly, and the teacup in his hand almost fell and shattered. He raised his head and looked at the girl opposite him in surprise." Ambis?”
The butler did not expect this and asked softly," Miss, you…"
"What you said is very beautiful, but if it fails, who will be responsible?”" He's already at his critical health limit. If he fails, not only will we waste our resources, but he'll also become an even stronger Deadpool! In comparison, I still support Chu Zihang!”
" Ambis?!" Frost stood up and did not even bother to ring the bell. His tone was clearly angry." Who do you think you will support?”
"I won't be deceived by lies." Apis took a sip of black tea." You said that you can control Caesar. Do you dare to explain it in detail? Control? He was chained up, he was hit by potions, and he had lost his mind several times and almost killed those who took care of him. What a joke!"
The board members 'expressions turned solemn. If what Apis said was true, Caesar should have been listed as a dangerous bloodline instead of being mentioned in the Nibelungenlied Plan. Furthermore, Apis's family had always been the most well-informed. Many dragon slaying operations had only succeeded because of the information that their family had gathered. Theoretically, the board of directors should have trusted her.
"Apis! How can you slander our Gattuso family like this?”Frost's face turned green. He slammed the table, causing the teacup to jump up and spill tea.
Apis did not back down either. She stood up and retorted sharply," What? Frost? I'm telling the truth! The young emperor Caesar was just a walking corpse today. Why didn't he die?”
Frost was completely enraged. Ambis had always been on his side. He did not expect that not only would she support Caesar's sworn enemy today, but she would also emphasize things that were detrimental to Caesar!
Every time he tried to bring up a favorable factor for Caesar, Apis would immediately jump up and ring the bell to refute him. In the end, it had become an insult to the Gattuso family. Frost kept slamming the table, hoping that his imposing manner would scare the petite Ambis, but Ambis kept throwing powerful words at Frost. No matter how much the butler tried to persuade him, it was useless. The board members only watched quietly, and Anger leaned back in his chair and chuckled softly.
The situation was in complete chaos.
3| Life or death vote
"Alright, both of you." " You've argued enough for Caesar. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea? Let's talk about Chu Zihang."”
Apis snorted and sat down to drink tea." Your precious nephew isn't the only candidate.”
Frost turned his head abruptly and stared straight at Ange." You know very well that it can only be Caesar!”
Lisa rang the bell." Reason?"
"He killed the King of Bronze and Fire, and has supreme leadership and charisma. He is the heir of our Gattuso family, and our family has taken a fancy to him, which is enough to show his excellence!”Frost enunciated each word.
Angor smiled and rang the bell." Do you know why I chose Beijing as the venue for this meeting? Who could remember how the King of Earth and Mountain died last year? Both of you died at the hands of my outstanding student, Chu Zihang!”There was a hint of coldness in his smile." And from the content of your argument just now, your nephew Caesar? Gattuso's situation is very bad? I wonder if I can give this honor to the president of the Lionheart Society, Chu Zihang, so as not to waste such a good plan.”
Frost retorted hoarsely," He can only fight alone forever! He was always expressionless, had no affinity or cohesiveness, his reports were full of misdeeds, and his bloodline was dangerous. He was almost dragged down at the hearing last year! I don't think the new leader of the Secret Party should be such a lifeless person!”
" Oh," Anger tapped his fingers on the table." Do you know him that well? You investigated him?"
" It seems like that's the case." Apis took a sip of the black tea and stared at the few pages of information in her hand." Chu Zihang, Beyond Grade A, a fourth-year student of Kassel Academy. He has carried out dozens of missions, and each mission has caused casualties and great negative effects." Apis paused for a moment." I forgot to mention that the report submitted by Principal Angor has been edited. The truth is here." Apis knocked on the five document bags that were stacked together and slid it over the table to the board members."One copy per person. But, Ange, you should have the original copy with you, right?”
Apis took another sip of tea and began to read Chu Zihang's mission report. As she flipped through page after page of the report, the board members 'expressions became uglier and uglier, and they began to whisper among themselves.
Frost was still standing, but the look on his face changed from surprise to a sneer. It was obvious that Chu Zihang was more out of control than Caesar.
Anger sat upright on the chair. The smile on his face slowly disappeared and turned into a cold line. He didn't even open the copy that Apis had given him because he knew that it was real the moment she read the first mission report.
But…how could this be? Ambis and Frost had a huge argument. He thought that Ambis was on Chu Zihang's side…Could it be that there were other candidates and Ambis was supporting someone else?
Ange suddenly panicked. He remembered that there were indeed three candidates when this topic was submitted last year. But it was impossible for Ambis to support that person! His name was not even mentioned in the meeting!
"Isn't this a little surprising?”Apis smiled gently. No one expected her to have such a harmless expression when she smiled. Indeed, she had always been a good student who seriously discussed the topic during the board meetings in the past. She had never deliberately targeted anyone, but today, she was clearly here to cause trouble! The weapons were all prepared. With the information and the family's reputation, they would completely overthrow the image of the two upright and kind youths as good students in the eyes of the board of directors.
"This is not because his bloodline is dangerous, but because he has also learned how to burst blood, and he is not far from being a Deadpool.”Apis sat down and drank her tea calmly. Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Anger's face turned pale. Chu Zihang's secret was exposed just like that. There was no doubt that Caesar was the heir of the Gattuso family. Before he became a Deadpool, the Gattuso family would definitely protect him well. However, Chu Zihang did not have a strong family background. The board members were the heirs of the Secret Party, and Angor understood their personalities. They were the kind of people who would definitely nip danger in the bud. If Chu Zihang was not confirmed as the candidate for Project Nibelungenlied today, perhaps the iPhone 4 in Angor would receive a text message tomorrow." Dear Principal, I am your dear Norma. Your A-grade student, Chu Zihang, died tragically on the streets..."
There were many ruthless people among the board of directors, and someone would definitely do it. Anger could not go to the board of directors with two long knives to avenge Chu Zihang…
Death was already a good result. The board of directors had always used the method of cutting off one or two nerves in the person's brain and then letting him go back. Although he had only severed one or two nerves, preventing him from resonating with the spirit and releasing the spirit, what would happen if a person could not control his spirit?
Anger closed his eyes. More than forty years ago, he had been forced to accept a student with a "dangerous bloodline". When he came back, he would never forget the dull look on his face. It was impossible for him to go to school. As a student with a high bloodline, he had his own dignity. In the end, Angor could only announce his death to the public and send him away from the crowd.
Fortunately, Ambis did not know about the branding. As long as Chu Zihang could win the Nibelungenlied project, everything could be discussed. However, if the board of directors knew that Chu Zihang's bloodline would not become a small soldier like Deadpool but evolve into a dragon king once it crossed the critical blood limit…
Anger stared at Ambis. Fortunately, Apis did not intend to continue. It seemed like she did not know what Xia Mi and Anger were talking about.
The old monk put down the prayer beads that he had been spinning in his hand and rang the bell." Ambis, do you dare to swear on your family's honor that everything you said is true?”
Apis nodded without hesitation.
The old monk sighed and stood up to ring the bell." If that's the case, then I think that no matter who is the candidate for the Nibelungenlied Plan today, the other party must be executed.”
The conference table was silent. Frost's expression froze for a moment and he quickly looked at Anger.
At this moment, Ange pulled his collar as if he did not care at all. Only his friends knew that he would do this when he was nervous.
"We don't want to be in a stalemate like this, right?”The old monk looked around." Then, let's vote by a show of hands.”
On the other side, Caesar stared out of the window in a daze. Someone knocked on the door politely three times. Parsi turned the doorknob and walked in, pushing the dining cart. Caesar only reacted when he walked to his side.
"Dinner is already here? I think I just had breakfast." Caesar's expression was one of a faint smile.
"Yes." Passi answered briefly. She quickly set up the dishes and lit the candles. He made an inviting gesture.
"It's like I'm at home." Caesar stood up from his seat facing the window and walked to the table.
The chains had been untied, and in their place were two exquisite bracelets on Caesar's delicate wrists. The bracelet was dark gold in color, and its surface was engraved with ancient and exquisite patterns. It fit perfectly on Caesar's wrist. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see the traces of the connection. Others might be envious, but Caesar knew where these two bracelets came from. It was the handcuffs from before, and the chain in the middle was removed.
The Gattuso family was really resourceful. They had many collections that no one had ever seen before, including this pair of alchemy handcuffs. In the Middle Ages, it was used to imprison heretics and prevent them from releasing black magic. In the eyes of the Dragon Slayer, the alchemy domain released by this pair of handcuffs was equivalent to a commandment.
Now, the pair of handcuffs had been disguised as a bracelet and was worn on the wrist of the heir of their family.
Caesar finished his meal very quickly. His family's education made him swift and decisive in everything he did. However, given the current situation…was there a need to carry out the family education?
Parsi had been waiting at the side. As soon as Caesar finished eating, he immediately went forward to clean up. Just as he was about to leave, Parsi heard Caesar say from behind," Parsi.”
"Young Master, what's the matter?" Parsi turned around and bowed politely.
"Help me escape." Caesar stood up, his tone of affirmation unquestionable.
" But…" Parsi was stunned.
" Parsi," Caesar acted as if he did not hear him." My hearing is slowly losing.”Parsi was stunned.
"Maybe it's because my spirit is the mausoleum, but I can't release the mausoleum. I have to be locked in this cage and live a muddleheaded life.”Caesar stood up and stared at Parsi." And I thought of something.”
"When my mother died, she couldn't hear or see anything. Her spirit is also a mausoleum. The elders of the family said that her blindness and hearing were due to giving birth to me. But could there be other reasons? Parsi, tell me!"
Parsi was silent for a moment before he slowly bowed and raised his head again." Young Master, I don't know Madam any better than you do.”
Caesar's ears were filled with rumbling sounds, as if the wind demons were roaring in dissatisfaction. However, he could still guess what he was talking about based on the vague voice and the shape of a person's lips.
Caesar just stood there, his expression neither happy nor sad. Perhaps the life in the cage was really torturing him like a puppet.
" But if you insist, I'm willing to help you escape..." Parsi's voice was ethereal." Young Master, please find the truth!”
4| A draw? waves
Lu Mingfei woke up after he finished his wretched dream. His vision was still pure white. Lu Mingfei wondered if he would suffer from snow blindness if he stayed here any longer. Fortunately, the doctor said that the damn cast would be removed tomorrow.
Lu Mingfei turned his head to the right to see what time it was, but he was startled by the person sitting on the chair.
Chu Zihang was staring out of the window in a daze. He was obviously waiting for Lu Mingfei to wake up. He noticed Lu Mingfei's actions and turned to look at him.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He immediately forced a smile." Hi…Boss."”
Oh my god, why is this bastard here? It's good that it's Nono…The normal scene of " going to the hospital to visit a classmate " was put on Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei, but why did it feel a little awkward…”Lu Mingfei asked warily.
"I came to see you." Chu Zihang said. Just as Lu Mingfei heaved a sigh of relief, he heard Chu Zihang say calmly," By the way, someone is looking for the Lionheart Gang's help. I need your help."”
"Hey, hey…what can I do in this state?”Lu Mingfei frowned.
"But I asked the doctor that you can remove the stitches tomorrow.”Chu Zihang had an indifferent expression on his face.
Lu Mingfei covered his face. Who would take advantage of the situation like you…
"You know about the freshmen gathering, right?" Chu Zihang went straight to the point. What he meant was that he had to help even if he didn't want to.
"Yes, yes." Lu Mingfei hurriedly nodded. He had never been able to resist this hard-line style of killing embryos. He could only be a grass on the fence and fall naturally when the wind blew.
"Qilan came to ask for help, hoping that we can destroy the freshmen Fellowship Party.”Chu Zihang looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes calmly.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. Ah, hey, Brother Qilan, this strange request…the word "exterminate" doesn't seem right, does it? Besides, he remembered that Qilan was the real president of the first batch of freshmen, right? He even tried his best to invite him to join…and now he wanted to destroy his own family?
"Do you still remember Caesar, the new president of the freshmen Fellowship Party?”Chu Zihang said lightly. "Yes." Lu Mingfei thought of that arrogant boy, but he hadn't seen him recently. It had only been a few days since school started, but he had stayed in Italy for a few days and was hospitalized for a few days. It was only natural that he hadn't seen any new students.
Speaking of which, he had shot Nono once, and it was a live bullet! Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of this matter and frowned in dissatisfaction. In that case, it seemed reasonable for him to come and seek revenge on Nono's entire family for daring to hit him.
"Qilan said that he would visit the freshmen's social gathering from time to time. After all, he was the one who founded it back then.”Chu Zihang briefly explained the situation." But recently, he found that the students in this year's freshmen gathering have become more and more strange. They are arrogant, superstitious about power, and advocate the winner as king..." Chu Zihang looked down at the card in his hand." Sorry, I don't remember everything."”
" It sounds like the Wudang Sect has turned into a demonic sect…" Lu Mingfei mumbled.
"One more thing. Qilan is an 'A' class student, and his spirit is a prophet.”Chu Zihang stood up." He said that his spirit told him that if he allowed it to develop, something like a devil would appear in that society!”
"Prophet, why don't you know what the next exam question is? You can also test my marriage." Although Lu Mingfei was spouting nonsense, he knew that Brother Qilan's bloodline wasn't low, so his prediction must have been very accurate.
"That's all. We'll pay a visit to their headquarters tomorrow after you remove the stitches.”After Chu Zihang left, Lu Mingfei looked at the ceiling and remembered the cold glint in Caesar's eyes when they first met.
"Those who support Chu Zihang as the candidate for Nibelungenlied, please raise your hand.”The old monk's voice was kind.
Angor raised his hand and looked around. Laurent also raised his hand and looked at Anger." I will always be by your side, Anger," he said gently.”
But other than the two of them, there was no one else.
"Chu Zihang only has two votes." The old monk rang the bell. Of course, he also counted as a vote, but he did not support Chu Zihang.
Angers did not mind. Two votes. If nothing unexpected happened, they should at least be able to tie with Caesar.
In fact, both of them were his students, but he could not let Caesar get this support. Otherwise, the Gattuso family would immediately pull him down from his position as principal, reorganize the Secret Party, recruit students as warriors, and open a new era of dragon slaying. Gattuso.
With his understanding of Frost, it would be strange if the old man didn't have that ambition.
"Please support Caesar? Gattuso raised his hand for the Nibelungenlied candidate.”
Frost was the first to raise his hand. This was actually a form of coercion. After all, Ange's family was not as powerful as the Gattuso family. It was better to support Caesar than Chu Zihang. This way, he could still win the favor of the Gattuso family. Although the family background of the board of directors was not weak, only two people supported Chu Zihang...
Frost's pupils constricted. In the quiet conference room, there were only two people with their hands raised.
Even though he couldn't tell which side the old monk was on, he was raising his hand. It was expected that Ambis would forfeit, but that middle-aged man…What was going on?
"Both of them are quite pitiful…You guys decide for yourselves.”The middle-aged man cleverly expressed that he would not offend anyone, but in this way, it was still two to two.
Angor leaned back in his chair. He knew from the middle-aged man's eyes that he had decided to forfeit. A draw was better than giving up such a good project.
"Why don't we call that person?”The middle-aged man suggested to salvage the stalemate that he had caused.
"Do you have his phone number? Or maybe even Messenger?" Apis looked at him coldly.
" I should be able to find him on my iPhone 4…" The middle-aged man fumbled for his phone.
The tense atmosphere suddenly eased a little. The board members looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The middle-aged man suddenly looked a little embarrassed." I forgot to bring it…"
"Ahem, maybe we can put this topic aside and move on to the next topic. We can discuss it later when we have extra time.”He shook the bell.
Frost glanced at him." Are you sure?”
"Yes." " What's your new topic?" Anger asked. I haven't read it yet."
Frost ignored him. He stood up and rang the bell, clearing his throat." It's about whether it's appropriate for Ange to allow Jormungander to return to the campus. I think if the result is inappropriate, then can we dismiss him for threatening the personal safety of the students?”
His eyes turned cold.
5| final
In fact, visiting wasn't a good experience. Chu Zihang, this stoic man who didn't talk much, only brought Lu Mingfei, this good-for-nothing, to someone else's territory to cause trouble…Oh, it wasn't a friendly visit. Wasn't that a little too bold?
However, Senior Brother with the stoic face was carrying Cunyu…Lu Mingfei looked left and right. No matter how he looked at it, it was exactly the same as the destroyed one. As expected of Young Master Chu. It was so easy to find a divine knife with 100% accuracy.
But this time…was he here to get information?
"Do I look like 007?”Lu Mingfei knocked on the door of Will Pavilion helplessly. It would be best if no one was around. That way, it would be easier for both of us to explain.
The door opened very slowly. Lu Mingfei was a little surprised to see Lin Xuan standing behind the door. "Senior Brother?" Lin Xuan's voice was still soft." I've been waiting for you for a long time.”
"Wait for me?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. He thought to himself, Could it be that Senior Brother with a poker face had already reported this, just like that famous letter," Kill the person who sent the letter "…Chu Zihang was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a trace of surprise. It seemed that he did not know about this matter either.
"I haven't asked him to come yet." A slightly raised and obviously tired voice came from inside the hall. Lu Mingfei recognized Caesar's voice and suddenly felt a little depressed. Hey, hey, am I here today to greet the enemy in a friendly manner? Lu Mingfei listed everyone who dared to hurt Nono as his enemy.
"No?" Lin Xuan seemed to be a little puzzled." Then Senior Brother, why don't you…"
"Pay a visit, pay a visit. Haha." Lu Mingfei quickly nodded and bowed. He really had the potential to be a diplomat. Chu Zihang only nodded politely. It seemed that bringing Lu Mingfei along really did have some benefits. At least he didn't have to talk nonsense.
Will Hall wasn't a very good villa, but it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into the renovation. The luxurious carpet extended from the door to the depths of the corridor. The handrails of the spiral staircase were newly carved with European patterns. There was a huge mural hanging on the wall. The mural seemed to be telling the story of the evil god Loki in Norse mythology, from birth to death. The small wall lamps and the gorgeous crystal chandelier at the top were all turned on. There was not a single shadow in the entire hall, but the brightness in every place was different, forming a complex and magnificent light and shadow.
The most eye-catching thing was the single-seater sofa. He couldn't tell what kind of expensive wood it was made of. Perhaps it wasn't made of wood at all. The armrests were inlaid with crystals or diamonds, and the entire surface reflected golden light. The cushion was made of velvet satin, red as blood. The entire sofa was so gorgeous that it was no longer an ordinary chair. It was simply like a throne. There were also several other sofas, but they were not on the same level as this one. This also fully demonstrated the high status of the person above it.
Caesar was sitting on the sofa with the silent fireplace behind him. It wasn't the season for the fire yet, so the fireplace was blocked by a huge black sandalwood board. Complex patterns spread on it, as if it was originally a part of the huge fireplace. The sofa happened to be in the place with the most light, and the background was a dark purple color. Caesar's figure seemed to drift and blend into the darkness.
Caesar rested his elbows on the armrest and crossed his fingers. His dark eyes stared at Lu Mingfei for a long time. Sitting on the sofa opposite Caesar, Lu Mingfei felt a sharp edge on his back. He wriggled around, not knowing what to do. He turned his head to look at Chu Zihang as if he was asking for help, but Chu Zihang just stared at the carpet. It seemed that he wanted Lu Mingfei to solve it himself.
Your sister, are you training a newbie? Lu Mingfei muttered quietly.
"Brother, your eyes…alright, are you a normal person? I read in Twilight City that normal people can't stare at the same place for more than 30 seconds!”Lu Mingfei finally couldn't take it anymore. He didn't know what he was going to do today, and the enemy had been staring at him for so long…It was as sharp as a knife and could penetrate through any hole.
"I just want to see what the legendary'S 'class is.”Caesar finally spoke, but his tone was filled with disdain and contempt.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. That can't be! This tone is even more arrogant than Brother Caesar? He came up and poked my wound, even though I know I'm not a good-for-nothing…
"Hey, what are you trying to say?" Lu Mingfei asked warily.
"It's nothing." Caesar waved his hand, his eyes full of fatigue." It's rare for the Lionheart Association to visit. What are you doing here?”
"I want a list of new students." Lu Mingfei answered casually. Chu Zihang had asked for a list of names. He didn't want to waste any more time here. He didn't like Caesar's aura at all. He only had a weak aura, which was completely in conflict with this strong aura.
Someone actually handed over a copy very quickly. Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw Lin Xuan smiling. This junior sister looked very weak…but she exuded a capable aura? Lu Mingfei took it and handed it to Chu Zihang. He saw a long line of people. The Lionheart Cultist only had around eighty members. It was no wonder. The Lionheart Society was the elite of the elites. How did a little rabbit like him get in?
"It's only been a few days since school started. Why are there so many members?”Chu Zihang glanced at her and asked coldly.
"We've been approved. The new students join the Freshmen Fellowship directly. We'll decide whether to join the Lionheart or the Student Council in our second year.”Lin Xuan replied, while the real master, Caesar, only stared at Lu Mingfei without saying a word.
Chu Zihang didn't say anything else and glanced at the list again.
After Chu Zihang entered, he knew that what Qilan said was true. Will Pavilion looked normal, but the ostentatious air that was revealed everywhere was not something they should have. Under normal circumstances, only the owner had the right to renovate the clubhouse. Although the possibility of donations from members could not be ruled out, Caesar obviously did not have the financial resources. Chu Zihang checked his information. Caesar had a car accident when he was 18 years old and had lost his memory completely. With the help of his sister, he slowly integrated into society and remembered his family background. Later, he awakened the dragon bloodline. The information did not mention who his sister was, but it showed his family background. His parents had died a long time ago, and his family had never been rich. Logically speaking, he did not even have the opportunity to come into contact with the upper class. How could he decorate this place so beautifully?
Also, this place looked very prosperous, but it always felt deserted. Usually, new students would enthusiastically join the club, but it always felt like no one had walked around here.
Also, when school started…Caesar broke the commandment and released the spirit. His logic was very chaotic, and why did he look so flustered when he heard the word " quarantine "?
There were doubts everywhere.
Chu Zihang knew from the start that it wasn't that there was a problem with the freshmen's social gathering. They were here to investigate this person. He was probably the demon-like thing that Qi Lan had mentioned.
Chu Zihang wasn't someone who would easily help people he wasn't familiar with. He just felt that he could find something he wanted to know from here. Investigating was just an excuse. Bringing Ming Fei here was just a smokescreen. He silently observed from behind.
" Alright." Chu Zihang stood up." See you later. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."”
Lu Mingfei couldn't wait any longer. He followed Chu Zihang out, but Caesar stopped him." Lu Mingfei!”
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei turned his head. Caesar had a complicated look on his face." You…I seem to be very familiar with you…We've met before, right? Be careful."
"Ya?" Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw that Chu Zihang had already walked out of the door. He quickly chased after him, not paying attention to Caesar's words.
Later, Lu Mingfei slowly understood everything that had happened that night. At that time, he already knew a lot. He thought that he couldn't bear it, but he still lived on. Later, he slowly realized that he and Caesar were the same kind of people. They were a collection of loneliness until they were in despair.
Frost actually pulled up a post on Kassel's website. Just looking at the bright red title was enough to prove that their outstanding student, Chu Zihang, was being " threatened " by Yemenga.
"Love is the secretion of hormones. When people are in love, they can do anything!”Frost said confidently.
"Tsk!" " Old man, you've done a lot of research on love!" I've been a playboy for more than a hundred years, and I've never done anything rash!”
"But you've been around for more than a hundred years, which is enough to prove that love is very impactful!”Frost pointed at Anger.
"Hmph." Anger glared at him without hesitation." You think you're lucky enough to have been around for so many years?! Speaking of which, you should call me grandpa!"
From the moment the second topic was announced until now, it had been completely the two old fellows arguing. The old monk tried to interject a few words, but in the end, he decided to watch the show with the other board members.
They roughly understood what the two were arguing about. It was that Jormungande had been resurrected, and he had entered Kassel Academy as a student again. It seemed to have threatened the personal safety of the students, and it seemed to have violated the Secret Party's rules. Frost kept harping on this point and vowed to kick out the dissolute principal.
"Enough arguing!" Angor finally stood up. He had been arguing with Frost for a long time, but he had been sitting there leisurely. It was obvious that he was teasing Frost. But now he didn't want to play anymore. Frost was wasting his precious time.
He opened his half-closed eyes, and his silver eyes lit up. Frost looked up at him when he stood up, and the corners of his lips were cold and hard." Of course I know why you want to kick me out. Actually, it's fine to follow your heart, but you will destroy the entire Secret Party!”
"Goodbye." Anger got up, unlocked the door, and turned to leave. The board of directors looked at each other. This year's board meeting was fruitless again. Nibelungenlied's plan was either pushed to next year, or they could choose a candidate now.
" We've pissed off Anger." Lisa stood up." It's not a good time to choose."”
" But we can't just let it go like this…" The old monk pondered for a while." Why don't we hold another meeting a month later?”
"I don't think there will be any good results.”Apis stood up. At this moment, her aggressive look was gone. She was still the smart and calm heir. No one could explain why she was in that state.
"It has to be resolved eventually. The best choice is to hold another meeting later. I'll talk to Ange, within a month.”Lisa nodded." I think we can leave now."”
No one said a word. They all stood up and left without saying a word. It was a perfect day. They had come to the most important meeting, but in the end, they only saw two old fellows quarreling and gained nothing.
This year's board meeting was dismissed.
Lu Mingfei nestled under the blanket and rubbed his eyes desperately. He rubbed them again and again, but the word " combat " was still so clear.
" Ah!" A scream resounded through the night sky of the dormitory.
" What a ghost…" Fingal hung his head from the upper bunk like a ghost.
"W-why is there a fighting class on my schedule?”Lu Mingfei wanted to cry but had no tears. He had not looked at the new school year's class schedule for many days. He checked the class schedule for the next day and saw the terrifying class from 8:55 to 9:50 in the morning…
Lu Mingfei had chosen it out of curiosity during the second semester of his first year. For the rest of the semester, he had to lie in bed for half a day every Friday night…Fortunately, he had dropped out of class during his second year. Although he was still skinny and weak, he didn't have to worry about dying young.
But the question now is…why is this thing on my class schedule! He was still in the hospital last week and would probably die tragically this week…
"Senior Brother, I took yours…right?”Lu Mingfei cried.
"Look at the name on it." Fingel pointed. Lu Mingfei looked at it two or three times. Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei, it was still Lu Mingfei.
" I…am so depressed…" Lu Mingfei covered his head with the blanket. This was a dream…This was a dream…He had fallen asleep.
