Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 314 The former head of the Laurent family, how come it's Gattuso again?!

The commotion in Nibelungen subsided. Lu Mingfei carefully packed up the bronze mask that had been broken into several pieces and handed it to Chu Zihang for safekeeping. He then nudged Fingel, who was wearing a tattered cloak and looked like a beggar's protector.

"Could you access the Kassel College database to check who this is?"

Although Chip Girl is very useful, it's a waste not to use the resources available in Kassel.

Fingel is so good at hiding things, and Norma, the secretary of Kassel College, even modeled her war personality Eva after his girlfriend. Lu Mingfei doesn't believe for a second that there's nothing between the human and the machine.

Fingel, who was filming the scene of Odin's puppet from every angle with a DV camera, stroked his chin and recognized the man without asking Eva for help:

"This person looks a bit like the former head of the Laurent family."

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei knew that this guy who repeated a grade had a reason for it.

"The Laurent family is a mixed-race family renowned for its beauty and wealth, and they are also one of the board members of Kassel College, making them allies of the principal." Fingel, as an eighth-year student and a legendary paparazzi, had naturally met them before.
"But he died in a plane crash two years ago, and his only daughter took over as head of the family. Angers helped her a lot, and since then the Laurent family has become the principal's staunch supporter."

I just don't know how he got here, and even transformed into Odin's shape.

"That goes without saying, they most likely fell into Odin's ambush, just like..." Lu Mingfei was about to say that Odin liked to be a vehicle killer and had used the same tactic to abduct Chu Tianjiao back then, but considering Chu Zihang's feelings, he ultimately didn't say it:
"Forget it, let's talk about the Laurent family's enemies. They dared to risk offending the Kassel College Board of Trustees and the Secret Party to target this family head, and they even managed to fabricate a perfect story. There shouldn't be many suspects, right?"

“They are one of the largest syndicates in Europe, involved in mining and finance, and they certainly have no shortage of enemies.” Fingel’s expression was somewhat intriguing. Back then, during the Greenland Sea Operations, the board of directors forced the elite executive team to dive as soon as possible, and the Laurent family was the only one to vote against it.

Unfortunately, the objection was ineffective.

"But the Gattuso family is probably the only family that could actually target the head of the Laurent family and arrange the crime scene so meticulously that even the enforcement department could only conclude that it was an accident."

"Gattuso again?" Lu Mingfei frowned. He suspected that this family was like fleas, as they could be found everywhere.

Why can't they learn from their young master Caesar and be more low-key in their conduct and actions?

"I can't guarantee that, but currently, the only one who can openly do this is Gattuso. There are so many hidden families around the world, including a lot in China, so it's hard to say for sure." Back then, Fingel was desperately trying to find the Crown Prince and inadvertently discovered many deep-seated old turtles. If it weren't for his superb skills and the protection of the old cowboy, he probably would have been tracked down by the internet long ago.

"It's alright. If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, indicating that the Gattuso family was extremely guilty, and it didn't matter whether there were more or less of them.

They can even develop space-based kinetic weapons without letting anyone know. So, quietly taking down a hybrid who has nothing but his looks and billions in wealth is just too easy for them.

Chu Zihang had been listening for a long time, then suddenly spoke up:

What should be done with the body?

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei and Fingel looked around and found that it was a dark and windy night with no one around. At the same time, the idea of ​​destroying the evidence arose in their minds.

But after all, the head of the Laurent family was an innocent person, and could be roughly classified as a friendly unit, so it was not appropriate to desecrate the corpse.

Fingel bent down to examine it, pulled back the leather armor to reveal a slightly sunken chest cavity, and found that the alchemical instruments inside were almost fused with flesh and blood. He immediately gasped and exclaimed in shock. This was completely an alchemical puppet.

This time, it was truly caught in one go and refined in an instant.

Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue in surprise, then looked up at the sky and asked, "By the way, where are those two dead birds? Where did they go?"

He had previously said that the old man was pretending to be a master by not speaking, but now that he realized that this Odin puppet was obviously a disposable item left behind to test his strength, and that its only means of communication was the noisy crows, he was somewhat regretful that he hadn't wasted too much breath earlier.

“You said it’s a dead bird, so of course it’s dead,” Fingel replied without looking up, fiddling with the DV camera in his hand.

Erii raised her small hand lightly, a proud expression on her delicate face. She made a peace sign, not to take a picture, but to say that she had accumulated two more points.

"Okay, I declare Erii the MVP of tonight!" Lu Mingfei was happy to cooperate and grabbed Erii's hand, raising it high above his head.

Fingel, with his keen eye, filmed the scene with a DV camera.

Seeing this, Chu Zihang's anger and sadness were somewhat dispelled.

This is merely a puppet of Odin, and judging from the time span, it's not even the one that stopped and killed them back then. The real Odin is nowhere to be found, so there's no need to waste too much energy on it.

This battle, however, made him realize the gap between himself and the gods.

The fourth level of Bloodlust is enough to crush most hybrid races in the world, except for those monsters with overpowered word magic and overpowered bloodline stats, but it can't even get close to a puppet's body, so how strong is Odin himself?

Chu Zihang couldn't imagine it.

But in any case, he will continue on his path of revenge.

As long as we follow in Lu Mingfei's footsteps, that day will surely come.

Noticing his gaze, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he had come here to look for clues.

The extinguished golden eyes reignited, the light no longer blazing hot; the puddles on the rainy road became the best conductor for the Word of Power Serpent.

Lu Mingfei's perception spread infinitely, instantly covering the entire Nibelungen.

The information the snake brought back formed a complete map in Lu Mingfei's mind, with details of various parts of Nibelungen appearing in his mind.

Whether it was the remains of the unfortunate souls who had strayed into Nibelungen and been killed by Deadpool over the years, the car wreckage piled up under the overpass, or the black-clad Deadpools' habitats that were not "divine power" but were kept there, Lu Mingfei pinpointed their locations one by one.

Unfortunately, at this time, there was nothing alive in the entire Nibelungen except for the four of them, not even the breathing Dead Servants.

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes slightly, and the Serpent of Vacuum began to dig three feet into the ground. When he opened his eyes again, he nodded slightly to meet Chu Zihang's gaze:

"They couldn't find it, so it's certain they were taken away."

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang looked down at the former head of the Laurent family, who had already undergone biological modification, and was a little worried that his own father would also end up like this.

"Don't worry, Time Zero is an extremely precious Word of Power. Even Odin wouldn't treat it as a disposable consumable," Lu Mingfei reassured him.

Chu Tianjiao may be handsome, but compared to the head of the Luo Lang family in front of him, he's nothing special. After all, the Luo Lang family is known for its beautiful mixed-race members.

Odin doesn't seem to care about appearances; he doesn't care about anyone once he puts on the mask, and being too handsome might even make him a target.

In any case, this trip to the Nibelungen was not particularly fruitful.

They destroyed an Odin avatar, gained Nibelungen for free, added another crime to the Gattuso family's list, and confirmed that Chu Tianjiao was still alive but suffering a fate worse than death. "So, how do we get out of here?"

Fingel put away the DV camera, looking at the mountain of Deadpool corpses in the distance, and the cybernetic remains of the Laurent family at his feet.

If I take this thing out, and then run into a police checkpoint, I'm doomed.
You can't exactly say it's a prop from a movie, can you?

Who makes prop dummies by killing a person first and then implanting alchemical tools into them?
"Just follow the way we came." Lu Mingfei turned around, took Erii's hand, and led her towards the Maybach.

Chu Zihang followed closely behind; he had already walked that road once before and was quite familiar with it.

Fingel quickly followed up: "What about the head of the Laurent family? If this were sold to the Laurent family, those landlords and rich folks would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy it back."

"It's illegal." Lu Mingfei was too lazy to even acknowledge him. This guy had been playing the fool for too long and couldn't change his ways. His words and actions always had a comedic feel to them.

"So you're just going to leave it alone?"

"I'll clean it up tomorrow. Let's leave it like this for today and see if we can catch anything else."

"boom--"

The Maybach restarted, running over Deadpool's mutilated skeleton and the water on the overpass, cleaning the filthy tires so that passersby wouldn't mistake it for a hit-and-run when it left Nibelungen.

"Hey junior, how did things go with that girl from the preparatory class at noon? Is there any possibility of things developing between you?"

No one spoke the whole way, so Fingel took the initiative to start a conversation, which was gossip that both boys and girls liked.

After all, everyone at Kassel College knows that Susie, the vice president of the Lionheart Society, takes good care of Chu Zihang. There have been countless rumors circulating on the Night Watchers forum, with many speculating about when the two of them will get together.

If it weren't for the fear of being beaten up by the two militant factions, Fingel would have liked to start a betting operation on the forum.

However, the two of them have always denied these rumors, and their relationship is clearly still that of senior and junior.

When the topic turned to gossip about himself, Chu Zihang didn't even glance at him, simply driving in silence.

Fingel, feeling awkward, turned around to chat with Lu Mingfei, only to find him and Erii huddled together, tapping on their phones. Noticing Fingel's gaze, they raised the glass in the middle and activated the fogging function to prevent onlookers from watching.

"Busy, everyone's busy." Fingel pulled his head back, wrapped his tattered cloak tighter around himself, and muttered, "It's good to be busy."

……

Just as the Maybach sped through the Nibelungen, in a riverside bar in the city center, Shao Nanqin, dressed in a new Chanel summer dress, held a wine glass, her gaze like the river water rippling in the evening breeze, slightly tipsy.

Cheng Shuangfan sat opposite him, her custom Armani suit highlighting her broad shoulders and narrow waist. She wasn't wearing a formal tie, and her collar was slightly open, revealing her prominent collarbone.

A gentle evening breeze rustled the willow branches along the riverbank, and the babbling water reflected the neon lights of the bar's signboard. Coupled with the melodious tunes and the perfectly timed chatter of voices, Shao Nanqin already felt drunk after only drinking half a bottle of low-alcohol red wine.

When she came to the appointment tonight, she was actually a little worried that she would look terrible in person. After all, there are many Photoshop masters these days, and it would be embarrassing if she encountered a photo that was misrepresented. Her sister would definitely laugh at her to death when she got back.

But when she met Cheng Shuangfan in person at the bar, she realized she had worried too much. Cheng Shuangfan was even more beautiful than in the photos. The curve of her jawline was like a sculpture from the Renaissance period, and the frequency of her Adam's apple bobbing when she spoke was perfectly restrained.

He has a great grasp of etiquette when it comes to dining and drinking, and chatting with him is a real pleasure. He can keep up with any topic, unlike other blind dates who would immediately start by asking about her background or her sister. We can talk for a long time and there are always new topics to discuss, so there's never a dull moment.

After another glass of wine, Cheng Shuangfan told her to slow down and not drink too fast, as there was still plenty of time.

These words reminded Shao Nanqin of her younger sister. Perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, she said with a smirk, "When I drink with my sister, she always tells me to slow down, but she always downs it in one gulp."

Even though we're twins, I blush after just a little drink, but she never blushes. It's so enviable.

Cheng Shuangfan chuckled upon hearing this: "People's constitutions are different, and some people have different tolerances to alcohol."

As a wine enthusiast, he actually knows a lot about the ins and outs of wine, but now is not the time to show off his expertise.

Moreover, he was also correcting himself in his mind as he said this. It wasn't that people's constitutions were different, but that the two sisters were completely different species, so how could they be compared?

Of course, I can't say this directly, otherwise I'd not only alert her, but I'd also likely experience having a girl throw alcohol in my face for the first time in my life tonight.

"Not only that, my sister is amazing." Shao Nanqin got excited and naturally had to talk about her sister, who was her only family. After all, if she and Cheng Shuangfan really got married and had children together in the future, there would definitely be a major prerequisite for them to meet.

Is it a choice to accept living under the same roof with the sister-in-law for who knows how many years, or to choose to end this blind date altogether?

She and her sister agreed that they would never be separated in this life, and that they would continue to live together forever even after they got married, so her blind date had to accept this condition.

So this was also a test.

Although Cheng Shuangfan said online that he wouldn't mind, who knows what his attitude would be in reality?

"Nan Yin actually has a very strong personality. She can easily accomplish things that many boys can't." Shao Nanqin listed her sister's strengths, including but not limited to carrying water jugs up seven flights of stairs in one go, being familiar with various appliance repairs, and handling all sorts of complex interpersonal relationships...

As she talked, she became a little insecure. The more she talked, the more she felt that her sister was a better match for the man in front of her, since the two had many similarities and were both successful people.

She was just a homebody who lived a simple life between home and work, liked anime, novels, melodramatic romance dramas, and disliked exercise.

But Cheng Shuangfan dispelled her feelings of inferiority with just one sentence, and made her feel that she had met someone she could entrust her life to.

He said, "In my eyes, a sister who is so proud of her younger sister that her eyes light up is more touching than a perfect girl who can do everything."

Cheng Shuangfan raised her glass to her in a polite toast, her smile gentle: "There are many standards for judging social value. Perhaps your sister is good at survival skills, but what you are good at... is making people want to live a more humane life."

After finishing two bottles of Bordeaux red wine, Shao Nanqin was already reeking of alcohol and her eyes were slightly glazed. Cheng Shuangfan ended this date, which was satisfactory to both of them, and called a car to take her home.

After the hunting team members drove Shao Nanqin home, the drunkenness and gentleness in Cheng Shuangfan's eyes disappeared, leaving only indifference. He opened the map on his phone and began to select a suitable hunting spot.

During the conversation just now, the target seemed to have become suspicious of him.

If nothing unexpected happens, Shao Nanyin will replace Shao Nanqin on their date tomorrow.

Finally, his gaze fell on a remote overpass.
