Chapter 373 Mission Selection

The Gattuso family, located in Italy, has been embroiled in a shocking scandal.

Caesar Gattuso, the only son of the contemporary patriarch Pompeii Gattuso and known as the great 'Caesar', assassinated his father during a family dinner!

According to Frost Gattuso, after Caesar returned to Italy, he was invited by Pompey to a dinner party. Nothing unusual happened at the dinner party, but after it ended, Pompey, under the pretext of not seeing him for a long time, had a long talk with Caesar alone in a room.

Suddenly, a loud bang, accompanied by screams, startled the servants outside the door.

The servants immediately pushed open the door and entered, only to find Pompey Gattuso, who had been beheaded and whose head was rolling on the ground, blood spurting from his neck, lying there, and Caesar holding the black knife Dictator, blood dripping down the blade, staring expressionlessly at the servants outside the door.

Without any explanation, Caesar simply rolled something up in a cloth, broke through the window, and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Upon receiving the news, Frost rushed to the scene and confirmed the death of Pompeii, the current head of the family, who had been beheaded. The discovery of the black dagger Dictator at the scene confirmed that Caesar was the murderer of Pompeii.

"Let's hear your thoughts, Mr. Schneider."

In the principal's office, Angers was rubbing his throbbing temples, looking like he had a headache.

According to his normal schedule, he should be enjoying a cup of black tea and some delicate snacks, washing up and resting in bed right now, instead of being woken up in the middle of the night to sit in the principal's office and discuss a murder case in Italy.

"It's very strange, so very strange."

Schneider, having learned the details of the incident from Norma, frowned and said in a deep voice, "There are two suspicious points in this whole matter. First, although Pompeii was a playboy, he was still the head of the Gattuso family and an elite of the previous generation of half-bloods. How could he have been killed so easily by Caesar?"

"The possibility of a sneak attack cannot be ruled out."

Angers yawned sleepily, relying on coffee to stay awake. He took a sip and said, "According to Frost, it must have been a conversation between father and son, and then Caesar attacked from behind, beheading the playboy with a black knife."

"The question is, why would Caesar bring a black dagger to talk to his father?" Schneider countered.

"I don't know, maybe it's just a personal habit?"

Angers remained calm, seemingly unperturbed by the matter of Caesar.

"So, the second question is, what exactly did Caesar take?"

Schneider tapped his index finger on the table and asked the most crucial question. He leaned forward slightly, exuding a sense of pressure: "Angers, do you know what that is? Something that Caesar would kill Pompeii to steal must be very important, right?"

"do not know."

Angers leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "I asked Frost, and he said he didn't know either. They're still investigating."

"What's the Gattuso family's opinion on how to handle this?" Schneider sighed. It seemed impossible to determine Caesar's intentions based on the missing items, so he turned to the other board members and the Gattuso family, who were at the heart of the matter: "Do they want to kill Caesar?"

"No, the Gattuso family means they must capture him alive."

Angers glanced at Schneider and said slowly, "With the assistance of the Kassel College, capture Caesar alive and hand him over to the Gattuso family for processing, without harming him."

"Is it because you don't want the scandal to get out?" Schneider pondered for half a second, but then shook his head, full of doubt, and said, "No, I just feel that it's not as simple as it seems on the surface."

“Of course it’s not that simple,” Angers said calmly. “Given Frost’s personality, it would be most normal for him to ask us to help kill Caesar, but he demanded that we capture Caesar alive and not harm him. That’s obviously problematic.”

"what do you mean"

Schneider quickly made a connection: "Frost's goal is what Caesar stole?"

"That's my guess."

Ang Re nodded and said, "Tell me your opinion, who should be sent on this mission?"

Schneider gets a headache just thinking about this.

Chu Zihang's corruption by the dragon blood was too profound; he was utterly unfit to be seen. If exposed to the Half-Blood Secret Party, Kassel College would likely be surrounded by them the next day. Humane extermination would be the best-case scenario; the worst would be being imprisoned and experimented on until death. Nono?

That would be even more unacceptable, as Kassel's regulations do not allow couples to perform the same task.

Xia Mi?

Although he has experience in implementing the Bronze Project, he is still a first-year student and is not capable of shouldering such a great responsibility.

As for the remaining people, Schneider carefully reviewed them, only to sadly discover that none of them met the requirements.

You have to understand, Caesar is the most outstanding elite in Kassel, and the only one who can suppress him is Chu Zihang, but Chu Zihang is too embarrassing to be seen, which makes it impossible for him to choose.

Clearly, Angers was well aware of Schneider's considerations, so he offered his suggestion: "What do you think of Lu Mingfei?"

Lu Mingfei?
Schneider's mind flashed to the image of a boy on the train platform, carrying a chainsaw sword and covered in bits of flesh and dried blood, and he shuddered: "No, absolutely not, we can't let him go!"

What a joke! If Lu Mingfei were to carry out the mission, it would be a miracle if Caesar survived!

Most likely, what Frost will receive is a large lump of minced meat.

"why not?"

Angers found his reaction somewhat strange and said, "Logically speaking, there is no suitable candidate at the moment. Lu Mingfei should be the best executor."

"Principal, do you know about the Chicago train station incident?" Schneider's eye twitched as he asked.

“I’ve heard Norma’s report, but I don’t know the specific details,” Angers said.

"Norma, could you please pull up the video feed from the platform and show it to the principal?" Schneider snapped his fingers and said.

“Yes, Professor Schneider.”

The ever-present Norma immediately displayed the scene of Lu Mingfei carrying the chainsaw sword as he walked out of the platform to the principal.

Even the man hailed as the greatest dragon slayer in history was speechless with shock upon seeing Lu Mingfei's appearance: "This...this is Lu Mingfei?!"

"Now you know why we refused to let Lu Mingfei carry out the mission, right?"

Schneider sighed, feeling utterly exhausted, and said, "If we let this killer go, Caesar will be completely out of the running. You probably don't plan to kill Caesar either, do you?"

At this moment, Angers suddenly paused, then frowned and said after a moment, "Let Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo, and Xia Mi participate in this mission together."

"headmaster?"

Schneider was completely bewildered by his sudden decision.

After all that, it turns out he was just spouting nonsense, and he even went so far as to include all four of them. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

“Principal, I think you need to reconsider!” Schneider said righteously, “Leaving aside Nono and Xia Mi, Chu Zihang’s identity must not be exposed, and there’s also Lu Mingfei. This is simply ridiculous. I think we can send someone else.”

"Ok, deal."

However, Angers, acting unilaterally and with unusual firmness, said: "Go and inform them that they will go to Italy in three days to cooperate with the Gattuso family in the hunt for Cesare Gattuso."

Ultimately, Schneider couldn't win the argument and could only storm out.

Watching Schneider leave, Angers sighed deeply, turned to the side, and said, "Are you satisfied with this result, Adam?"

The blond youth in the seat was Adam, who chuckled softly, "Yes, that will do."
