Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 403 A new King of the Pot is Born, the Murderer is Yan
Having extracted all the information, Lu Mingfei did not discard Madam Chen after she had served her purpose, allowing her to die in a nightmare.

He simply put her into a long coma, and when they met again, he would casually help her break free from the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

With a "thump," Madam Chen fell face down to the ground, the commotion attracting the attention of Key, who was playing a finger-catching game with Erii. Key looked at her curiously.

Key clearly didn't feel much affection for this stepmother who didn't know how to coax children. Seeing that she could sleep anywhere without any reaction, he turned his head to grab Erii's fingers and gave her a silly smile.

Erii wanted to hold the child and play with him, but she had only hugged her own doll, and she was too strong, afraid that she might accidentally strangle the key... In the end, she didn't say anything.

Lu Mingfei looked down at the cheerful key and felt that this kid was much more obedient and well-behaved than his crazy sister. Moreover, his bloodline was so strong that keeping him in the Chen family would be a waste. He might as well take him back and let Nuonuo raise him.

It's not unreasonable for an older sister to take her young brother out to broaden his horizons and let him breathe some fresh air, is it?
Thinking this, Lu Mingfei convinced himself, helped Madam Chen straighten her posture, then took Erii's hand with one hand and hugged the still creaking key with the other, and turned to leave.

"Sakura, should we take him away?" Erii felt that this scene was familiar. It seemed that back at the Genji Heavy Industries building, Lu Mingfei had also led her out of the vault door on the ξ floor in the same way.

"Yes, this is Nuonuo's younger brother, and by blood you can say he's your distant cousin." Lu Mingfei weighed the key lying in his arms, blinking his big eyes at him. The little guy had cried and fussed twice before when he sensed his approach, but when he was actually in Lu Mingfei's hands, he was quiet and didn't make a fuss at all.

"He was also a pitiful child. Because of his bloodline, he could never grow up and was used as a tool by the Chen family. He didn't even have a proper name."

Upon hearing this, Erii felt a pang of sympathy, as if they were in the same boat.

After all, she was forced into becoming a caged bird because of her bloodline.

Despite holding the supreme position of head of the Uesugi family and having his own name, his role within the Hebi-Hachi family is ultimately that of a mascot and an ultimate weapon that can be summoned when necessary.

Apart from her brother, Yuan Zhisheng, not many people genuinely cared about her.

So she didn't think there was anything wrong with taking the key away from her family. Those people weren't good to her, and the only one who really cared about her was probably her incompetent older sister, Nono.

“Let’s give him a name,” Erii suggested.

"How about calling him Chen Ping'an?" Lu Mingfei looked at the little guy in his arms. "Ping'an means peace and safety. With a single sword strike, he can move mountains and overturn seas, subdue demons and suppress monsters, command gods and pluck stars, sever rivers and destroy cities, and open the gates of heaven!"

key:()?

For some reason, the little key suddenly felt heavy on my shoulder, as if it might get involved in some terrible karma at any moment.

Erii didn't understand the long string of words that followed, but it sounded impressive, and the name Heian also carried beautiful hopes, so she nodded without hesitation.

But Lu Mingfei was just joking. If Nuonuo were to choose the name herself, what would it mean for them to overstep their bounds?

Besides, this little guy has already had a miserable enough time; there's no need to make his life even harder.

As they passed the large vase, the maid was still burying her head in the sand. When Key saw his familiar playmate, he reached out and greeted him with "ee-ee-ya-ya," but the maid, who usually granted his every wish, didn't dare to make a move and instead buried her head in her hands and cried silently.

I'm sorry, young master Key, I can't save you! I can't save your teeth!

Lu Mingfei guessed that the Chen family had already noticed the anomaly when they disabled all the electronic devices in his manor. Since they had been dawdling for so long, the reinforcements should be arriving soon. Without giving the key and the maid any more time to say goodbye, he put his arm around Lu Mingfei and slowly left.

The manor is actually quite well-guarded. There is an armory in the main building with enough guns and ammunition to support a small-scale battle. There are also twenty mixed-race bodyguards scattered inside and outside the manor, including three A-level bodyguards with the strongest bloodlines.

Even if it were Fingel and Chu Zihang, the two strongest mixed-race individuals in Lu Mingfei's gang, this trip would have been dragged on for quite a while.

Unfortunately, it just so happened that the two strongest ones came.

Moreover, they didn't come with any premeditation. They were just in the mood for eating because two clueless idiots had ruined their meal. They just happened to be passing by and wanted to cause trouble. They never expected to have such a pleasant surprise: they found a small Solomon's key.

Leaving the Chen family manor where black suits were scattered all over the ground, Lu Mingfei and Erii arrived at the gate.

The security team leader at the entrance had been guarding Lu Mingfei's property closely. Upon seeing him reappear, he diligently unlocked the U-lock on the rear wheel, pushed out the old Phoenix bicycle, and led several subordinates in a line to greet him.

"Thank you." Lu Mingfei nodded to them.

"Of course," the team leader chuckled.

Lu Mingfei attached the baby seat he had found in the nursery to the handlebars of his bicycle. It wasn't very secure, so he took an iron railing from the manor gate, bent it a few times to fix it in place, and then placed the truly curious baby in the seat.

Erii sat cross-legged on the back of the bicycle, which was padded with a soft cushion, and wrapped her arms around Lu Mingfei's waist. She waved politely to the security guard.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately stood up straight and solemnly bid farewell to the two: "Miss Mo Tong, take care; Young Master Key, take care; and this guest, please come again next time."

Lu Mingfei's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself that next time he came, they might have been sent to Africa to feed the lions, but he still managed to force a smile. Then, with a push of his foot, the old Phoenix bicycle carrying the three of them—two adults and one child—drove away into the distance.

Just as the old Phoenix bicycle disappeared around the corner, all the malfunctioning electronic devices in the manor were restored. The security team members, who had been bewitched, came to their senses and looked at their colleagues lying on the ground in the manor. Their hearts pounded as if they had a hundred Batman's friends.

Done!

They immediately called for backup and prepared to selectively report what they had just seen and heard. However, before they could take any action, the roar of car engines came from afar, and at least ten cars were speeding towards them.

The security guards were on high alert, but quickly relaxed. It wasn't the guy who had captivated them earlier who had gathered his men to raze the manor; rather, it was the people from the Chen family mansion who had arrived.

A row of black sedans stopped at the manor gate, and a row of men in black suits got out before the cars had even come to a complete stop, looking around for any signs of intruders. However, all they saw were a few dumbfounded colleagues standing at the door with somewhat embarrassed expressions.

Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at each other, all asking: Where did the enemy go?

The team leader hung up the phone and looked at the middle-aged man standing at the head. This was the head butler of the Chen family and a trusted confidant of the Chen family patriarch. Looking at the black suits lying all over the manor and the four young masters and ladies who had slapped him until his head was swollen, he felt that the face of the Chen family had been trampled underfoot, and he was furious.

He looked at the anxious team leader and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Where are they?"

"They just left." The team leader pointed in the direction the convoy had come from. "Didn't you see them just now? A man and a woman were riding a bicycle, and there was a child on the front of the bike."

The butler frowned. He had looked carefully the whole way but hadn't seen anything. He turned to look at the others, who all had the same expression that said, "What nonsense are you talking about? No one was passing by just now."

However, since the enemy was able to complete the invasion without alerting anyone, they must have made thorough preparations. It's quite normal for them to have an accomplice responsible for covering the retreat. He inquired:
"Who were the intruders just now? And who is that child you mentioned?"

"It was Miss Chen Motong and a boy I don't know. They took Young Master Key away." The team leader's words were brief, but they couldn't hide their dereliction of duty.

Upon hearing the name Chen Motong, the butler's brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep frown. This was indeed something that rebellious young lady would do.

He wanted to reprimand them, "Weren't outsiders forbidden from entering the manor? How did you let strangers in?" But seeing the group of people lying on the ground inside, their embarrassed expressions, and their sudden loss of contact, he realized that Chen Motong hadn't entered the manor through normal means. "Remember your dereliction of duty for now. Go and receive your punishment later." The butler waved his hand and led his men into the manor, arriving before the four siblings who were tirelessly slapping themselves in the face.

Just as the butler was about to send someone forward to forcibly stop the four siblings who were self-harming to the point of self-mutilation, they all stopped when the bodyguards approached and fainted face down.

Fortunately, the bodyguards reacted quickly, preventing their already swollen and torn faces from suffering further damage.

Seeing the bloodied and mangled faces of the young masters and ladies, the butler frowned. Although he knew that Chen Motong had the deepest conflict with these four, and had even been nearly tricked by them into breaking his leg before, this was going too far.

The descendants of the Chen family represent the image of the Chen family. Every member of the Chen family must be well-groomed and dressed in a respectable manner. However, their current appearance has been completely ruined. After they recover, they may need to undergo plastic surgery to restore their original appearance.

"Take the young master and young lady to the hospital." He waved his hand, ordering his men to drag the four unconscious men away, and continued leading his men toward the main building.

Along the way, bodyguards could be seen lying on the ground everywhere. When they were woken up, they all looked bewildered and didn't know what had happened. They only said that they collapsed the moment they saw people.

When asked who they saw, they said it was Miss Chen Motong with long hair.

Upon entering the main building, one finds many people lying unconscious. A few maids who were unaffected cautiously peeked out through the crack in the door. They only opened the door when they saw the butler arrive, but because they had hidden themselves quickly, they knew nothing when asked.

They finally found a maid who wasn't hiding in the room, but she just crouched down with her head in her hands, not knowing anything, and kept crying, saying that she hadn't protected the young master with the key.

After learning from him where the lady was, they went to the study, only to find it in a mess. The alloy security door was dented to the side as if it had been punched by the Hulk, and the walls and the embedded metal frame were also severely damaged.

Their mistress, meanwhile, lay face down on the ground, her hair disheveled, blood beneath her face, her left hand outstretched, having written a crooked "讠" in blood on the floor—a complete mystery left behind at a murder scene.

Upon seeing this, the butler quickly called the maid who had come with him to check on the situation. Fortunately, the lady had only fainted and was not in any danger. The bloodstains were from her nose hitting the ground.

Seeing that Madam Chen's injuries were not serious, the butler immediately summoned the manor's doctor to try to wake her up.

While waiting, the butler also reported what had happened to the head of the family. Although he couldn't see the head of the family's expression on the phone, he could tell from the sound of the other person's voice that the head of the family must be very angry.

It's one thing for a family to be tough, and it's one's own business no matter how much trouble they cause. But if they collude with outsiders to attack their own family, then things get serious.

But the butler also knew that, apart from that legendary dragon-slaying youth who appeared out of nowhere, no one else had the ability to take down so many people in an instant.

The patriarch had made so many preparations at the Chen family mansion, but unexpectedly Lu Mingfei came to the estate. It was rare for the patriarch to make a mistake, so his mood was naturally not very good.

Making a wrong prediction is a minor problem; the major problem is knowing who stole the key but not being able to get it back.

If it were someone else, there might be room for negotiation, since everyone has weaknesses and understands the stakes involved.

But who is Lu Mingfei? His parents have been missing for who knows how many years, and all that's left is his uncle and aunt, who are practically strangers... If he really went after them, Lu Mingfei would probably be overjoyed.

As for negotiating terms, Lu Mingfei is practically invincible, and he also has a hidden organization behind him. Who can do anything to him?
Start with other people?

Chu Zihang, the future leader of the number one violent club at Kassel College, would surely incur the wrath of the old lion Angers if he dared to mess with this little lion.

Fingel is a complete waste of his life, utterly useless, yet incredibly clever.

Caesar, omitted.

The bounty hunter brothers and the eldest daughter of the Ryoma family—the head of the family has emphasized that we should stay away from them.

Finally, there was only a little girl named Xia Mi left. She moved in with Lu Mingfei and the others last night, and even when she went out, she was inseparable from Chu Zihang, making it impossible to make a move.

As he pondered, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before the calm voice of the Chen family patriarch returned:

"First, find out why they suddenly attacked the manor. Don't worry about the key; Nono will take good care of it."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately, without showing the slightest concern or inquiry about his children and wife.

The housekeeper put away his phone and turned to look at the doctor who was still trying to wake Madam Chen. He noticed that her expression was gradually becoming serious, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"what's the situation?"

The doctor, who was already preparing the equipment, said without turning his head, "There are no external or internal injuries, and all vital signs are normal, but he just can't wake up. We suspect he has been attacked by some kind of spiritual attack."

Upon hearing this, the butler frowned even more deeply. After repeatedly inquiring and confirming that the facilities in the manor could not fully determine the situation, he summoned several maids to take the lady to a private hospital.

Watching the bodyguards drive away, the butler felt a pang of heaviness in his heart. Standing by the window, gazing at the now peaceful manor, he let out a long sigh.

"My family is unfortunate."

Miss Mo Tong, you've really gone too far this time.

Meanwhile, Nono, who had finished her physical examination and was waiting for the results at the research institute, suddenly sneezed, rubbed her nose, and looked around: "Who's talking badly about me behind my back?"

Although there was no evidence, she suspected it was Lu Mingfei's petty nature.

Caesar was sitting next to her. Hearing this, he took her hand and looked at it. He noticed that the wound from the blood draw that morning had healed and muttered, "Is she on her period?"

The air conditioning at the research institute was a bit cold. I had to change clothes during an examination earlier, and I might have caught a chill from that.

Nono rolled her eyes upon hearing this. Not to mention that her period had already ended, even if it was delayed, she wouldn't catch a cold from the air conditioning.

I raised my hand to give it to him, but suddenly my phone vibrated slightly in my pocket, indicating a message notification.

Curious about who might be contacting her, she opened QQ and discovered it was Lu Mingfei.

He sent a picture, and when he opened the chat interface, he saw a family of three riding bicycles through the old streets and alleys, smiling at the camera. It looked very warm and harmonious.

Wait a minute, where did this family of three come from?
Her gaze shifted downwards, fixed on the baby grinning happily, and her eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Now, Nono knows who's been talking about her behind her back.
