Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 425 Xia Mi Knows Nothing About Dragons
Overnight, the news of the fall of the King of the Earth and the Mountains gradually spread.

Although Kassel College has been trying hard to suppress the spread of the news, it has unfortunately been infiltrated and is riddled with holes.

With the removal of the $100 million bounty post from the top of the Hunter Market, many people realized that the King of Earth and Mountains was probably gone.

Those who know Lu Mingfei are powerful know that he is the world's strongest dragon slayer, and killing a dragon is as easy for him as killing a chicken or a dog.

I don't know how powerful Lu Mingfei is, but I am also familiar with the rules of the Hunter Market website. A bounty that is pinned to the top will never disappear into thin air unless the task is completed or the client voluntarily withdraws it.

If the mission is accomplished, then there's no need for them to go to the capital to join in the excitement. They can continue to stay at home and fantasize about how they would spend their 100 million US dollars if they became dragon-slaying heroes.

If the client voluntarily deleted the post, it further demonstrates that Lu Mingfei, who made this public statement, is no ordinary person, and even the client, whose whereabouts are unknown, dares not provoke him.

Then they have even less reason to go to the capital.

With a $100 million bounty hanging over the place, bounty hunters still dare to rely on their extraordinary courage and desire for money to venture into the lion's den and see if that guy named Lu Mingfei is so awesome that he can make them die on the spot and never return.

But now... what's the point of risking your life if you don't have money?
Therefore, all the bounty hunters who were still thinking of trying their luck gave up.

Meanwhile, those world-renowned mixed-race societies also had their own channels to find out that the King of Earth and Mountains had fallen at the hands of Kassel College, and their leaders made a decision similar to that of Han Gao.

The delegation that was originally scheduled to go to the East to meet and negotiate with Lu Mingfei was disbanded on the spot, and the members went back to their respective places, as if to give Lu Mingfei face.

They knew Angers well; they knew he was an absolute tyrant, and it was very difficult to get back what he had. Even the board of directors of the Kassel College would find it extremely difficult to squeeze any benefits out of him.

The Gattuso family's acting patriarch, Frost, who is jokingly referred to as the "Regent of Europe," has been relentlessly targeting Angers for years, largely because Angers has kept all the valuable spoils found by the Executive Department sealed deep in an ice cellar instead of making them available for all parties to share.

On the first day after the night of the dragon slaying, as dawn broke, the crowd at the Kassel College branch, who had been excited all night, finally went home and dispersed.

Angers and the branch manager initially determined a series of procedures for the subsequent excavation of the keel, with the branch staff assisting in the specific operations and the headquarters providing special funds.

Although the keel was eventually unearthed and the branch could not be retained, Angers promised to provide the branch with more technical assistance in the future, especially if the equipment department developed anything good, it would supply them as soon as possible.

However, the branch minister only listened to these words; who doesn't know the madness of the group of lunatics in the equipment department of headquarters?
They would simply turn anything into a bomb, a bigger bomb, and bombs with different functions.

Moreover, how to safely transport those dangerous goods was a major problem.

Even if it is transported here, the branch will not dare to use it easily.

This place is different from other regions. If the executive officers dared to fire guns, speed cars, and throw explosives indiscriminately like they do in some cities abroad, they would probably be immediately wanted and hunted down as terrorists.

The local mixed-race families would never turn a blind eye to these foreign forces who were "physically in Han camp but mentally in Cao camp".

Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Zhou family, everyone in the branch will be much more restrained when carrying out missions in the future, lest they attract the attention of the Zhou family with their actions, the consequences of which will be far beyond what they can bear.

Chu Zihang and Caesar stayed at the branch base for an entire night, cooperating with subsequent inquiries and reports.

Of course, it was mainly Chu Zihang who was talking, while Caesar just played a minor role on the sidelines, adding some details as a support member.

Combining video recordings and firsthand accounts from Chu Zihang, everyone gained a general understanding of Fenrir, the king of the earth and mountains.

At first, Professor Mans and the others were puzzled as to why Xia Mi, who had also faced the Dragon King and assisted Chu Zihang in killing him, had not been brought by the principal.

However, after Chu Zihang's comprehensive and thorough description, combined with his own insightful and simple speculations and analysis, one can clearly feel the power of the King of Earth and Mountains.

No matter how talented Xia Mi is, or how powerful her words are, she is still a novice who hasn't even attended a preparatory class. What does she know about the dragon race?

What puzzled them was why, apart from the initial slingshot attack, Fenrir and Chu Zihang barely used the authority of the King of Earth and Mountains during their battle.

Rather than resembling a dragon king, it's more like a large cat that hisses and scratches in a panic after its home has been invaded.

Yes, judging from their behavior alone, they do seem to be the same, and they are not the only ones with similar thoughts.

But they would give themselves an explanation, saying that the King of Earth and Mountains had just been revived and had not yet regained his power and memories, or that the King of Earth and Mountains was just a muscle-bound, simple-minded guy who could only breathe fire and swing his claws, which was not surprising.

With Angers' approval, Chu Zihang and Caesar declined the branch manager's invitation to stay at the branch and returned to the hotel by car.

When I returned, it was already dawn, and there were already quite a few elderly Beijingers strolling around having breakfast on the streets, but of course, there were many more working people who were busy making a living.

The two had been working non-stop all night with little rest, and since they didn't get along very well, they barely spoke to each other on the way back, and the atmosphere in the car was so silent it was almost frozen.

After they separated, Chu Zihang pushed open the door to the room and, unsurprisingly, saw Lu Mingfei.

"Yo, you're back." Lu Mingfei lay on his side on the bed and patted the empty space next to him.

"Come here, I've warmed the bed for you."

Chu Zihang: "..."

Although they've spent quite a bit of time together, he still gets caught off guard by Lu Mingfei's sudden flirtatious antics.

Just as he was about to sigh, a girl's disdainful voice came from behind him: "Ugh, you two are so perverted."

Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Zihang's fatigue from working all night and his frustration from being bombarded with questions all night instantly vanished, and his mood brightened.

Turning around, he saw Xia Mi standing at the door with her hands on her hips, a look of disgust on her face, but her gaze lingered on him, as if to make sure he was unharmed.

Chu Zihang's lips unconsciously curled up slightly as he whispered:
"Good morning."

Xia Mi put on a stern face and looked at him: "Is this all?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang recalled the scene when he went with Xia Mi to her cottage, and the girl greeted the empty room. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he readily changed his words:
"Well, I'm back."

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Xia Mi's eyes crinkled into a smile. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder, her tone light and cheerful: "Welcome back."

After she finished speaking, the two smiled at each other, a warm feeling spreading between them. But this cozy atmosphere didn't last three seconds, because a chatterbox started repeating her words, his tone particularly sarcastic, like that naughty kid in middle school who deliberately imitated girls' speech:
"Oh~ Welcome back~ I missed you so much, I was so worried all night~"

Lu Mingfei lay on his side on the bed, stretching out his hand and making a delicate gesture with his fingers, his posture seductive and his tone affected, looking as if he were possessed by a green tea b*tch, which made Xia Mi grit her teeth in anger.

Just as she was about to explode, Lu Mingfei regained his serious expression the instant Chu Zihang turned his head, and pointed at Xia Mi, saying righteously and sternly:

"Don't look at me like that, this is Xia Mi's true feeling, I'm just helping her express it."

Grandpa Lu was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see a young girl with nowhere to confide her feelings.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi instantly flew into a rage and snapped, "Who are you calling a kid?"

Lu Mingfei didn't respond, but just chuckled, which contained far too much meaning.

Seeing this, Chu Zihang felt somewhat helpless. He rubbed his temples and gave Lu Mingfei a look that he had something to talk to Xia Mi about. Then, he awkwardly grabbed Xia Mi's wrist and pulled the furious little dragon away.

"Tsk, as expected, external stimulation is needed for the little boat of friendship to be transformed into the giant ship of love." Lu Mingfei smirked, then flipped himself up with a somersault.

With a swipe of his hands, he closed the curtains, quickly changed his clothes, and prepared to take Erii and Old Tang out for some fun later.

The dragon-slaying incident has come to an end. Now we just need to wait for things to continue to develop, divert the attention of various forces, and wait for the Zhou family, Bai family, and other mixed-blood ancient clans to be ready, so that we can wipe out the Chen family, this disgrace of the Eastern mixed-blood race, in one fell swoop.

A whale falls and all things are born. The Chen family is so large, with businesses all over the country and countless overseas investments. Even if it is divided up by several behemoths, its scattered resources are enough to give many small and medium-sized mixed-race families a chance to breathe or even rise.

But this is a long process and cannot be accomplished overnight; Lu Ming has to be patient.

While he was humming "My Heart Will Go On" as he washed up, Chu Zihang had already pulled Xia Mi back to her room.

"It's all your fault, otherwise I would have shown Lu Mingfei what I'm capable of."

As soon as she returned to her temporary territory, Xia Mi immediately became arrogant, poking Chu Zihang's arm hard with her finger and complaining, as if venting her dissatisfaction that he had prevented her from getting revenge.

Chu Zihang, with his high emotional and intellectual intelligence, knew that Xia Mi was using this as an excuse to vent her frustration at being humiliated by Lu Mingfei, rather than truly blaming him. So he let her throw a cute little tantrum.

There was nothing she could do; Xia Mi was no match for Lu Mingfei, and her words weren't as eloquent either.

Chu Zihang was even less capable than Xia Mi, so naturally he couldn't help her get revenge.

However, he still had ways to distract her.

"The principal has granted you special permission to skip the preparatory course and directly enroll in the first year of Kassel College. The information department will start processing the application in the next two days. They need to update your resume first, and then they will send you the admission letter."

Xia Mi was initially delighted upon hearing this, but then she couldn't help but frown. She had left in a hurry, and the newly fabricated identity and resume were not flawless, leaving several potential vulnerabilities that could be verified.

If things had gone according to plan, she could have gradually eliminated those flaws while attending preparatory school, perhaps even altering her records or the investigator's memories. But now…

Recalling the traces she left at Shilan Middle School that were easily recognized by Lu Mingfei, and the obvious traces she left while following Lu Mingfei around these past few days, Xia Mi didn't think her resume could pass the review so easily.

Especially since Fujiwara Shinnosuke, who was recently sent to Kassel College as a mole, has been identified, the Minister of Information has gone to great lengths to thoroughly investigate suspicious individuals within the college. He has even gone so far as to send people to investigate students who have already graduated or been expelled.

Given this level of scrutiny, Xia Mi was worried that her carefully crafted but not flawless past would not stand up to scrutiny.

As if sensing her worries, Chu Zihang comforted her, "Don't worry about the information censorship. The principal has clearly instructed that your case is a special one."

Xia Mi understood immediately. Although she tried to find a better excuse for Chu Zihang to get the first kill of the King of Earth and Mountains in the new millennium, in the eyes of everyone at Kassel College, she was still just an accessory.

Moreover, she's a close associate of Lu Mingfei.

Unable to bring Lu Mingfei into Kassel College, Angers could only resort to fraternal diplomacy, forcing Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei together to maintain a close cooperative relationship between the two sides.

Now, with a readily available junior schoolmate who can capture Chu Zihang's heart and strengthen his affinity with Lu Mingfei, Angers is naturally happy to do the favor and give the green light.

The so-called "special handling" is largely based on these considerations.

However, she was overthinking it. Angers was simply rewarding based on merit, and Xia Mi had already participated in the major event of killing the Dragon King. If word got out that Kassel College was making her start as a freshman in the preparatory class, it would make their education seem rigid and inflexible.

Regardless of her background, with Lu Mingfei vouching for her and saying she's fine, Angers dares to turn a blind eye.

This is trust!
"Hmph, Chu, are you feeling quite smug right now?" Xia Mi's eyes darted around as she smiled at Chu Zihang, who remained expressionless, and leaned forward slightly.
"Not only can you study at the same school as your childhood sweetheart, but you also have a gentle, beautiful, and kind senior who is very attentive to you. Don't you feel like you're a winner in life?"

She spoke with varying emphasis, especially when using the words "junior sister" and "senior sister," clearly implying something.

Chu Zihang remained completely calm and shook his head slightly.

As for being a winner in life, let's talk about that after we find our biological father.

At that point, at least he was no longer a loser.

"You'd better really think that way." Xia Mi tapped his nose, then moved her hand down to press on his chest, pinched it, and pushed him onto the bed she had warmed all night.

Despite her seemingly slender arms, she possessed immense strength, leaving Chu Zihang utterly unable to resist. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes as he reached out to stop her, only to catch a glimpse of the girl's condescending gaze, which held a hint of cunning.

Xia Mi pressed Chu Zihang down with one hand to prevent him from getting up: "Are you having any wicked thoughts?"

"No," Chu Zihang denied.

"Then go to sleep obediently, and come keep me company when you're well-rested. The bloodshot eyes look awful." Xia Mi picked up the air conditioner remote and adjusted the temperature. She caught a glimpse of the emotion in his eyes out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Even without a broad mind, I can still win people's hearts.
