Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 342 Traveling with Dragons? Fingel Finally Realizes Something's Wrong
"Damn it, I completely missed such a great show, it's truly a pity!"

The hotel lobby wasn't the place to talk, so everyone moved to the presidential suite to discuss the details. Jiang Wanzhi recounted the whole story in detail, and Finger listened, scratching his head in disbelief, wishing he could turn back time and be there in person.

But nobody really cares how he feels.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang both knew he was joking around, while others didn't understand but respected him.

After listening to Jiang Wanzhi's account, Zhou Minhao couldn't help but sigh, "Such a coincidence exists in the world; the will of Heaven is truly unpredictable!"
"I suspected that you were the high-class mixed-race person who had just appeared and was not on the Zhou family's registration list, based on your extraordinary demeanor. I never thought it would actually be you."

Jiang Wanzhi smiled without speaking. Now she understood why Zhou Minhao had always maintained a seemingly distant yet persistent distance, despite appearing to be pursuing her.

"I wonder what Mr. Jiang plans to do in the future?" With the misunderstanding cleared up, Zhou Minhao naturally became concerned about Jiang Wanzhi's future: "Given the way Solomon Temple operates, they will not let this setback go unpunished."

"What else can we do? We'll just have to take it one step at a time." Jiang Wanzhi wasn't sure either. Although Zhao Xuzhen and the others were still unconscious and didn't know that she had severed ties with the Temple Society, she couldn't keep it a secret forever. Her betrayal of the organization would eventually be exposed; it was just a matter of time.

The best approach would naturally be to seek the protection of the Zhou family behind Zhou Minhao, but she didn't know how to bring it up. After all, these families with ancient traditions usually require either offering gold and silver treasures or arranging marriages for their daughters if one wants to curry favor with them.

However, the Jiang family's business was initially established by leveraging Zhou Minhao's wafer fab, and she knew that Zhou Minhao had no feelings for her, nor did she have any feelings for him.

Who is Zhou Minhao? To be able to make his way in the business world as the representative of the Zhou family, his ability to read people and situations goes without saying.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. As long as you have your heart set on China, my Zhou family will protect you."

As one of the few mixed-race families in China willing to step up and take on the responsibility, as long as you are of mixed Eastern descent and have a firm stance, the Zhou family is willing to protect you.

The Solomon Temple is nothing; let alone a knight candidate, even a genuine knight would be slain by their divine weapons.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei felt that the Zhou family's actions and words were very much to his liking, and decided that he had to make a trip to the Zhou family no matter what.

“That’s right. Forget about that stupid Holy Temple Society. If they dare to come again, Senior Brother Lu will make sure they don’t leave alive.” Xia Mi nodded vigorously, standing behind Chu Zihang and using his position to intimidate him.

Why not tell Chu Zihang to make sure they never return? There's no other way; Chu Zihang is just a mortal and her body is a bit fragile. She'd be heartbroken if she bumped into something or got hurt. If anything happens, just let Lu Mingfei handle it.

Anyway, this guy is as strong as an animal.

She had been watching from a distance and was quite shocked to see Lu Mingfei almost kill Zhao Xuzhen with a single stick.

Others might not see it clearly, but they could not hide it from her eyes; she knew that the divination stick was imbued with the power of words of judgment.

Zhao Xuzhen's survival was less due to his powerful dragon-transformed body and more due to Lu Mingfei holding back his strength. If Lu Mingfei had truly intended to kill him, even if Zhao had fully transformed into a dragon, he would not have escaped death.

Of course, what surprised her the most was not Lu Mingfei's ability to use the Word of Judgment, but the absolute control he had over the release of the Word of Judgment.

It should be noted that even she needs to concentrate to control other elemental incantations, especially high-sequence incantations like Judgment, which are even more difficult to control.

Could this guy really be cheating?
Xia Mi muttered to herself, but then saw Lu Mingfei nod leisurely: "That's right, just focus on your business. Don't worry about the Temple Association. I'm still looking forward to going to Yangcheng Lake to eat hairy crabs."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanzhi finally felt relieved. If it had been the Secret Party or Kassel College that made the promise to her, she might have had some doubts. But since it was these two, she didn't need to worry about them going back on their word.

Zhou Minhao is an upright, kind-hearted, and generous person who is sincere to his friends. He also carries a family mission and is trustworthy.

As for Lu Mingfei, although she had only known him for a short time, Jiang Wanzhi could sense that he had a strong sense of chivalry, just like her father. He was righteous and always kept his word, never hesitating to repay kindness or avenge wrongs.

This is true for most young people.

This matter was considered settled, but upon learning that Lu Mingfei and the others were planning to go to Shancheng to visit the Zhou family, Jiang Wanzhi requested to accompany them.

Zhou Minhao knew she was worried that if he left, the people of the Solomon Temple would come knocking and he would be powerless to resist, so he didn't object. Judging from Lu Mingfei's expression, he agreed.

Lu Mingfei had no objection to this.

Jiang Wanzhi immediately sent a message to her father, telling him to pack his bags and take her mother directly to the mountain city. She was incredibly decisive.

In addition, she also had someone prepare about 100 kilograms of local specialties from Yangcheng Lake.

Although it is still midsummer and not the best time to eat crabs, June crabs are still a rare delicacy.

Watching Jiang Wanzhi and Zhou Minhao leave, Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Jiang Wanzhi seemed to want something from him, but couldn't say it directly because there were many people around.

Xia Mi waved her hand in front of him: "It's just a few pounds of crabs, why are you so infatuated with it, Senior Brother?"

Lu Mingfei slapped her hand away: "What do you know? I'm thinking about what the first person to eat a crab actually did to the crab."

Xia Mi was puzzled, but his experience of living among human infants over the years told him that when boys said things he couldn't understand, he should just assume they were making dirty jokes or swearing.

"By the way, where are Lao Tang and Xun? Aren't they going to Shancheng?" She looked around but couldn't find the other two.

“They went out to buy things,” Fingel said.

"Oh, okay." Xia Mi nodded, then looked around and said, "If we're leaving tomorrow, I'll stay here tonight to avoid troubling my senior brother to pick me up."

Chu Zihang, who had barely spoken since returning, looked up at her upon hearing this, wondering why the girl, who always said "beware of fire, theft, and senior brothers," had now willingly walked into the wolf's den.

Fingel was overjoyed upon hearing this: "I've always said that this room has too much yang energy and needs a cute and pretty girl to balance it out."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi instantly reverted to her usual wary demeanor, staring at Fingel and saying, "Senior Fingel, it's true that I'm cute and pretty, but you can't secretly take pictures of me and sell them on the Night Watchers forum."

After being informed by Cheng Shuangfan and Chu Zihang, she already knew about Fingel's mountain-like dark history and naturally had to be on guard.

Fingel glanced at Chu Zihang, and seeing that he didn't react much, he said righteously, "Junior sister, you're wronging your senior brother. I'm not that kind of person, okay?"

"Lies!" Xia Mi didn't believe him at all. She got up and wandered around the suite, choosing her accommodation for the night. Then she pulled Chu Zihang out to pack her luggage.

Lu Mingfei and Erii returned to their suite, and in an instant, Fingel was alone again. However, he didn't care. He took out his phone and reported to the principal that he had successfully completed his mission and had not allowed anyone from the Solomon Temple Society to touch Lu Mingfei in the slightest.

And that was indeed the case. Lu Mingfei threw a skewer as soon as he appeared, and afterwards he always kept his distance from Jiang Wanzhi, never getting close to her. Angers wasn't surprised when they received the news. Based on their previous understanding of Lu Mingfei, he actually had a strong sense of national pride, and especially disliked lackeys who worked for foreigners.

So he had long anticipated what would happen to Zhao Xuzhen, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly.

As for Fingel's statement about graduating this year, since Lu Mingfei is determined not to enter Kassel, there is no need to let Fingel continue to break the college's record for repeating a year.

As long as he doesn't fail any courses at the end of the semester and his GPA meets the requirements, he can graduate.

Of course, as long as Fingel stays by Lu Mingfei's side, Angers still hopes that he can make another effort, even if it means coaxing and deceiving, to find a way to drag Lu Mingfei into the gates of Kassel.

Angers really wanted to eat Lu Mingfei's food.

However, when Fingel casually mentioned that Lu Mingfei and his group were preparing to go to the mountain city, Angers on the other end of the phone suddenly fell into a subtle silence for a moment.

Fingel keenly caught the brief pause and was about to tentatively ask if there was anything amiss when Angers' voice returned to normal, still with that calm and composed tone: "That's perfect. With Mingfei here, even if the Dragon King revives, he won't be able to stir up any trouble."

It was well concealed, but who was Fingel? A seasoned veteran of Kassel College, a master of reading between the lines, and the king of paparazzi, he sensed something was amiss almost instantly. However, he pretended not to notice and simply continued the conversation with a grin:

"Having Mingfei in the family is like having a treasure. When Mingfei takes action, even the Dragon King has to obediently lie down and wait for him to come and pounce on him."

After hanging up the phone, Fingel slumped onto the sofa and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Being able to silence Angers was no small matter, and he quickly used the process of elimination to identify a target that seemed to be causing Angers trouble.

It should be noted that most of them have a clean and traceable background. The only one whose background is unknown is Old Tang. Moreover, his behavior in Japan was not much more reasonable than Lu Mingfei's. He is a super hybrid who perfectly inherited the White King's bloodline and fights without hesitation.

If Lu Mingfei's strength was within Angers' expectations, what about Old Tang's outrageous combat power?

Angers didn't show the slightest surprise... which is quite intriguing.

Either he was so shocked by Lu Mingfei that he became numb, or he already knew that something was wrong with Lao Tang.

Angers is an old man who has weathered a century of storms, and the commotion caused by Lu Mingfei is not enough to make him lose his mind, so it can only be the latter.

Fingel pinched the bridge of his nose, recalling how Old Tang had immediately recognized the technique used to modify the body of the head of the Laurent family inside Odin Nibelungen, and a bold conjecture arose in his mind.

Goodness, no wonder I felt a strange sense of familiarity when I first saw Lao Tang. Even though I knew he was just putting on an act and pretending to be angry, I still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. It turns out I didn't turn gay; I just met my ancestor.

Then think about Ryoma Kaoru. How could the young lady of the prestigious Ryoma family fall for a male escort? Is it a pursuit of blood ties or a genuine expression of affection?

We don't know, and we dare not ask.

What is this? Traveling with dragons?

Fingel, however, was quite easygoing. Faced with such an absurd situation, he was able to find ways to console himself and even make fun of it.

However, this is nothing to worry about. Lu Mingfei had already given a hint before, so he probably already had a plan.

Given Lu Mingfei's relationship with Lao Tang, Professor Mans and his team are likely to be disappointed.

The Dragon King's tomb cannot be moved, but the Dragon King himself can walk away.

Amused by his own dark humor, he called the kitchen to bring up a fried chicken set meal. He was caught off guard by a major news story, the kind that couldn't be reported. He needed some fried chicken and cola to calm his nerves.

While things were settled on this side, Cheng Shuangfan was in a bit of a mess on her end.

The sudden disruption by Zhao Xuzhen and others not only ruined his carefully laid plan to follow the clues, but also caused Shao Nanqin, his only bargaining chip, to be taken away.

Enraged, Cheng Shuangfan blamed Zhao Xuzhen for everything, her eyes flashing with cold light.

Although the Secret Service has rules against abusing people, Cheng Shuangfan has countless ways to deal with these ungrateful, fake foreigners.

While he was leisurely "entertaining" Zhao Xuzhen and his group, thousands of miles away in the mountain city, Caesar and his two companions had successfully met up with the Kassel College team led by Professor Mans.

Looking at the three students with exceptional swimming skills, Professor Mans' tense nerves relaxed slightly. He beckoned everyone to sit down and inquired in detail about the trip to Japan.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya were his most prized duo. Upon hearing about their experiences in Japan, the old professor was so angry that he stomped his feet, wishing he could dig up Wang Jiang's corpse and whip it.

When Professor Mans turned his gaze to Caesar, his expression became slightly complicated.

Although he had some complaints about this spoiled brat who always slept in class and did his homework carelessly, he was, after all, the student's favorite, so he still offered a few words of encouragement.

If this kid can correct those bad habits, he wouldn't mind letting go of his prejudice against the Gattuso family.

Although the three went through many hardships in Japan, they were unable to see the true face of the White King, and their reference value for the Kuimen Plan was limited.

Professor Mans sighed, then introduced the current progress of the tripartite cooperation and talked about the next steps:
"It is currently the flood season, which is not suitable for underwater operations. Fortunately, there has been no heavy rainfall in the past few days, so we can still take advantage of the time to conduct adaptive training."

According to the initial plan, Caesar will partner with Ye Sheng. With his strong physique, even if a sudden flood or other unforeseen events occur, he is confident that he can lead Ye Sheng to safety.

"Professor, I heard that someone on the Hunter website has put a bounty on the Seven Deadly Sins created by Norton. What's the situation now? Are there any suspicious people around?" Ye Sheng asked curiously.

"The branch office and the Tang family have formed a patrol team and have caught two groups of hunters who came to try their luck." Professor Mans said this with a vengeance, wondering which damned person had leaked the information, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

Fortunately, they were just petty thieves, not powerful figures. Even if they were, the Zhou family would show them with their fists what it means to have someone stronger.

Halfway through the conversation, Professor Mans suddenly received another message—Lu Mingfei was preparing to come to Shancheng. His purpose was unclear, but he would definitely stay there for a few days and also visit the Zhou family in Xiangyang.

Caesar, with his keen hearing and sharp eyes, heard that his "comrades-in-arms," ​​whom he had only recently parted from, would arrive the next day, and he felt that the credit he had earned might slip away again.

However, he wasn't so narrow-minded. In order not to be overshadowed, he tried his best to stop them from arriving. He listened carefully and heard a piece of news that shocked him.

That guy named Zhao Xuzhen was actually after Lu Mingfei, and he even beat him up and seriously injured him.
