Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 368 Disliking someone because of their family background: What conflict could the Chen family possibly have with Lu Mingfei?

Lu Mingfei didn't linger. He had basically resolved the matters that needed his attention, and the Tang and Zhou families would show the bounty hunters who had come after smelling the scent what cruelty was.

Caesar is the young master of the Gattuso family and a future board member of Kassel College. He enjoys far more freedom than other students, so Lu Mingfei is not worried that he and Chen Motong will not be able to get leave.

As the saying goes, rules are made by people, and they are meant to be broken.

Before leaving, he glanced back in the direction of the captain's cabin, the direction where the Chen family lived, where the sound of a baby crying had been coming from.

The woman who was suspected to be Chen Motong's stepmother was insignificant, just a passerby. What truly interested him was Chen Motong's younger brother, whose lineage was exceptionally high, approaching that of Yuan Zhisheng and Zhao Xuzhen.

It's hard to imagine that this is a fetus born from a normal mixed-race union. The fact that it can't grow up is a kind of protective mechanism; otherwise, there's a very high probability that its bloodline would go out of control and deform into Deadpool if it developed normally.

Given that the Chen and Gattuso families have some unspeakable secrets, this key-wielding child is most likely also an experimental product, and his inability to grow up is the result of human intervention.

Tsk, poor kid.

Shaking his head and sighing, Lu Mingfei led his friends away, not staying to watch the show.

As they boarded the ship and left, a woman holding a child approached through the captain's cabin window. She looked to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but her every move exuded the charm of a mature and beautiful woman.

"The dragon-slaying youth is truly awe-inspiring." Madam Chen held the baby key in her arms, gazing at the departing ship, the video she had seen last night flashing through her mind.

The research vessel is equipped with surveillance cameras, which perfectly recorded everything, from the attack by the two dragons last night to Zhou Minhao's miraculous arrival. Although they missed the scene of Lu Mingfei fighting the Dragon King, they still captured the magnificent moment when he split the river with his sword.

Even through a screen, it evokes a sense of awe and helplessness, like a mayfly gazing at the blue sky.

She had originally intended to go down to see Lu Mingfei, but after he boarded the ship, the key, who had been sleeping quietly, suddenly started to make a fuss, crying and shouting, which required a lot of comforting.

She had finally managed to calm him down when Bronze City exploded the next second. The massive shock unleashed all her efforts, and Key cried even harder.

Now that Lu Mingfei and the others have left, he has calmed down.

It is said that children can see dirty things that adults cannot see, and given that the key's lineage is the highest in the Chen family's history, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with Lu Mingfei.

But thinking about it carefully, who would believe that he could outwit Angers and make Kassel run around in circles, repeatedly smash the Snake Clan and completely disrupt the situation in Japan, and fight a pureblood dragon alone and kill both the White King and the Fire King? With such a record, who would believe that he has no problems?

Touching the key's chubby, adorable face, pulling the finger he was biting out of his mouth, and replacing it with a pacifier, Mrs. Chen then turned to look at the somewhat flustered Professor Mans:

"What exactly is Lu Mingfei's ability? If it's just sword control, it shouldn't be able to cause that much damage."

The Word Power Periodic Table is not absolute. Throughout history, there may have been extremely special and rare Word Powers that have not been included in it, and the abilities that Lu Mingfei has demonstrated... are hard to say.

Professor Mans was still troubled when he heard her words. He was taken aback and thought for a long time before shaking his head and replying, "I really don't know."

At first, Guderian, that confused fellow, reported that Lu Mingfei's Word of Power might be that of an extremely rare "prophet," but it was later discovered that he was not.

He didn't actually display many abilities in public, such as flying on a sword, manipulating metal, and the absolute violence of splitting a thousand waves with a single sword strike.

The former is the domain effect of the Word of Power: Sword Control, but most people only use sharp short blades to fight, unlike Lu Mingfei who is so domineering as to cross the river on a two-meter-long steel plate.

It is said that when he was in Japan, he killed the White King and traveled hundreds of kilometers to the sea battlefield to save Angers and others, which is unbelievable just to think about.

If it were someone else, let alone being drained dry by such terrifying energy expenditure, even trying to learn to fly on a sword like him would be exhausting and likely to cause them to lose their balance and fall.

Using the image of Shutoku Aki's hometown as an example, this illustrates the difference between the chakra of the Uzumaki clan plus the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and an ordinary ninja—the gap is so vast that it's like heaven and earth.

Madam Chen remained silent upon hearing this, only feeling that Lu Mingfei was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei and the Chen family have no conflict of interest. The only point of friction is Chen Motong, but that brat has no intention of coming back after going to Kassel College, which is a clear act of rebellion. Lu Mingfei shouldn't dislike her because of her family.

But it's hard to say. Teenage boys are always prone to acting impulsively. Given what Lu Mingfei did in Japan, she really can't guarantee that there won't be any conflicts in the future.

However, thinking about the scene of Lu Mingfei and Caesar talking on the deck just now, she felt that she was probably overthinking it, and at least she didn't need to worry for the time being.

Thinking this way, she wasn't in a hurry to take the child back to the capital. After staying in that oppressive family for so long, it was a rare treat to get some fresh air and change her mood.

Just as she was preparing to relax and enjoy her business trip, Caesar on the deck relayed Lu Mingfei's words to Nono.

It was already nighttime in the United States. Nono and Susie were watching a movie together on the sofa when they suddenly received a call from Caesar and heard that Lu Mingfei specifically asked her to be his guide. They were both a little confused.

She had thought that because of the unpleasantness between her and Lu Mingfei, it would be difficult for them to have any contact in the future. She never expected that he would take the initiative to come to her, which was really beyond her expectations.

But how did the Chen family offend this wicked star?

Nono was still hearing Caesar's words and was quite surprised. She thought about Lu Mingfei's personality and figured that if she didn't provoke him, he wouldn't take his anger out on others because of his dislike of Lu Mingfei.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the conspiracies and schemes that the Chen family was carrying out behind the scenes touched upon the interests of Lu Mingfei and the organization behind him.

If other children grew up watching Ultraman from the Land of Light and the Giant of Light, Tiga, then unfortunately, Tiga borrowed their light and never returned it, leading to a bleak future.

So Nono hadn't even had a chance to lend out her light before she fell into a dark and filthy world, unable to find any extra light.

And this boundless darkness, like a cage, tightly bound her, came from her biological father, from that morbid family.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Nuonuo seemed distracted after returning from a phone call, Susie snuggled up to her and pulled her into her arms, asking her questions out of curiosity.

"It's nothing. Caesar just told me that Norton blew up Bronze City. They made a wasted trip." Nono shook her head slightly, telling her the news Caesar had shared. The news of the Bronze and Fire King's death couldn't be kept secret, and with Bronze City gone, she didn't need to worry about her boyfriend accusing her of violating the Executive Department's confidentiality regulations.

"Luckily, they didn't recklessly dive down to try and open the Bronze City, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." Susie patted her chest, as Bo Tao translated.

With Nuonuo around, she also learned about the future of her Lionheart Society. Chu Zihang was also in the mountain city at this time.

Although his current task is to follow Lu Mingfei and he won't easily participate in other missions, it's better to be safe than sorry. If he gets hurt, it would be heartbreaking.

Nono was a little flustered at the moment and didn't notice the strange look in her best friend's eyes. Otherwise, she would have teased her a bit, saying that Chu Zihang now has a pretty junior girl around him, and if she doesn't speed up her progress, she will be overtaken by the junior girl.

After a brief moment of thought, Nono made up her mind, rested her head on Susie's shoulder, and played with a strand of her deep red hair with her fingers: "Girl, I'm going to ask for leave to go back home."

"Why?" Susie asked, puzzled. They had lived together for almost a year and were true best friends. She knew Nuonuo's attitude towards her family and had even prepared to stay away from home this summer and accompany Nuonuo on a trip to Europe to relax.

Why do you suddenly need to take leave and go back home? Could it be that something has happened at home?
Judging from Nuonuo's attitude towards the Chen family, Susie felt that if a direct relative had passed away, her expression shouldn't be solemn, but rather, "Wow! That's right!"

Nuonuo hesitated for a moment, but Susie, her best friend, didn't hide it from her in the end: "The Chen family may be facing a major change, and I need to go back and get my mother's belongings."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Susie asked with concern, putting her arm around Nuonuo's shoulder.

She knew that Nuonuo's mother had passed away a long time ago, and she always wore the gifts her mother had given her. She would sometimes jokingly call her "Mama Su," which showed how deep the bond was between the mother and daughter.

"No need, your injury hasn't healed yet. With Caesar with me, it'll be fine." Nono shook her head; she didn't want to involve her best friend.

If it were someone else, they might not have gone to their door directly, but would have chosen a more dignified way to resolve the issue.

But Lu Mingfei, this guy had a bit of a violent tendency even before he was awakened, and after he was awakened, he stopped acting altogether. She could believe him when he said that he visited the Chen family by carrying two watermelon knives and hacking his way from the Hundred Herbs Garden to the Three Flavors Study.

She could already imagine Lu Mingfei visiting her in the future, exchanging a few polite words before launching into a vicious attack, a good scolding followed by a good fight.

The Chen family is located in the capital, a very important place. If they make too much noise, it will easily attract unnecessary attention. Even if they have a large number of powerful words, they dare not use them. Therefore, it is highly likely that the situation will be one-sided.

If she could use this as an opportunity to completely break away from the Chen family and take back what her mother left her, it would undoubtedly be a great thing.

Having made the decision, Nono felt a little relieved. She lifted Susie's chin and chuckled, "Girl, this time I'll go see what that junior Xia Mi looks like, and whether she's as pretty as Fingel said."

When Xia Mi first appeared and befriended Chu Zihang, Fingel was already prepared to make a fortune. He originally planned to use a roundabout tactic with Nono, but the little witch was too good at bargaining, so he ended up finding Susie and told her about Xia Mi's existence after she paid him a certain fee.

This isn't about betraying a teammate. Once things get back to Susie, she'll naturally find out.

Of course, she did not admit that Xia Mi was her rival in love.

Don't ask. We're just ordinary friends; our relationship hasn't reached that stage yet.

Not to be outdone by Nuonuo's teasing, Susie immediately pinned her down on the sofa and tickled her, filling the dormitory with a cheerful atmosphere.

On the other side, it was nearly noon by the time Lu Mingfei received Caesar's reply.

By this time, they had already met up with Lao Tang and the others, and were wandering around Fengjie County, mainly shopping and eating.

Fengjie is quite large, and during the summer vacation, it was full of young tourists, but there were no familiar faces like Lu Mingfei's.

After what happened last night, although it was just a false memory implanted by Kassel College, there was no doubt that Zhao Menghua betrayed Chen Wenwen. Therefore, the group of young people lost their enthusiasm for continuing their sightseeing and wanted to wait for Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen to resolve their conflict before making any further plans.

Chen Wenwen was clearly heartbroken. She left without looking back, without saying a word, and didn't even bother to slap him. She was completely devastated and didn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Menghua anymore.

She received private messages from girls, but did not respond.

When everyone waited for Zhao Menghua to return at the hotel, they found him with a livid face and a low-pressure aura emanating from him, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

His good homies tried to comfort him, saying things like "there are plenty of fish in the sea," and "why be hung up on just one?" But this only made him more upset, and he eventually lost his temper and yelled at them, saying, "I feed you, I drink you, I play with you, and you all have no sense of loyalty. You just watch me get beaten up and don't even help me."

The way he's saying this is ridiculous. He was about to break the law, and they turned a blind eye, but he's actually blaming them.

So the graduation trip youth group disbanded on the spot, and everyone went home to their own mothers.

Anyway, once we go to university, we go our separate ways and it's hard to cross paths again. The only regret is that there's no one willing to reimburse my travel expenses back home.

However, these are all unrelated to Lu Mingfei and the others, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will not have any further contact in the future.

The contact person helped book a plane ticket to Beijing. Lu Mingfei took Erii's hand and came to Lao Tang's side, telling him that there was no need to worry about anything anymore and that everything was going smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Old Tang burst into laughter and focused intently on browsing the various antique stalls. With his current life experience and knowledge of the Dragon, he could tell the difference between genuine and fake items at a glance.

Constantine followed behind him, his face expressionless, icy and cold, as if he were suffering from social anxiety.

In his past life, Constantine was also a socially awkward person, but a social terrorist, completely unlike this silly dragon who couldn't wait to follow in his brother's footsteps.

Xia Mi and Chu Zihang walked side by side, and every time their gaze fell on Old Tang and Constantine, their eyes would involuntarily show a few more sighs and envy.

In the past, Fenrir had followed her around like this, afraid of accidentally losing himself.

But in reality, dragons aren't so easy to lose, especially since both siblings are dragon kings. But the older brother is a bit of a simpleton and doesn't understand this. He only knows that his sister told him to stay close so he doesn't get lost.

Chu Zihang noticed her gaze and continued the conversation that had been interrupted a few days ago: "Would you mind telling me about your brother?"
