Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 439 The Chen Family, Your God of War is Back!
Although I don't know why those old guys would prepare a gift that reveals their true intentions, putting aside any hidden meanings, it is indeed a nice toy.

The dagger is well-made and looks like it's perfect for stabbing someone to death.

Leaving Fingel alone, Lu Mingfei and Caesar went upstairs to find their girlfriends.

Tom's exaggerated shouts echoed in the presidential suite, while Erii and Ricardo nestled in the large sofa, engrossed in watching television.

Upon seeing Lu Mingfei return, Erii happily called out "Sakura," and the little one beside her, sucking on a pacifier, also made two "woo-woo" sounds, it was unclear whether she was welcoming Lu Mingfei or greeting her brother-in-law behind her.

Caesar didn't see the other redhead and was about to ask when the bedroom door upstairs clicked open, and Nono, who had changed her clothes, came out.

She was no longer dressed in casual clothes that allowed her to move around easily. Instead, she wore a sharply tailored black dress with a unique design that perfectly accentuated her figure. Paired with knee-high boots, she looked a bit like a Valkyrie.

She even wore makeup, making her already striking features even more aloof. As long as she stood there expressionless, she transformed from a crazy little witch into Chu Zihang, both cold and dashing.

It's clear that she takes this return to the family that left her with countless unpleasant memories quite seriously.

You could even say it's like holding back a lot of energy to fight a tough battle.

A phantom glance at Little Ma: I want to prove myself, not to show off how great I am, but to tell people that I will definitely get back what I lost!
Caesar and Nono had been dating for almost a year, and he had seen all kinds of Nono, but he had to admit that Nono in this style really touched his heart.

Just as he was about to offer his praise, Lu Mingfei beat him to it.

Lu Mingfei placed the gift box next to Ricardo, letting Erii unpack it and play with it. He then looked at Nuonuo with interest and teased her:

"Oh, is it because you have too much psychological trauma from your father that you have to dress up in full armor to avoid losing your imposing presence?"

Nono: (▼皿▼#)
She knew Lu Mingfei couldn't speak human language, but this was still too precise in breaking her defenses. She took two deep breaths, feeling as if her chest had expanded by the size of Xia Mi.

"Very beautiful, like a black rose in the dark night." Caesar was so engrossed in admiring his girlfriend's beauty that his compliment came out a beat late, sounding somewhat like he was trying too hard to save face.

Fortunately, over the past two days, Nuonuo has gotten used to Lu Mingfei's sharp tongue. In addition, she is a girl with a strong ability to adapt, so she can selectively ignore his hurtful words.

"So which outfit are you going to wear to match me?" She looked at Caesar, who was wearing a clean white shirt and khaki trousers, which did not fit the style of a young nobleman, but it blended perfectly into the small world of a family of three.

"It's still early, why don't you help me pick out an outfit?" Caesar raised his eyebrows.

He has plenty of clothes, so he's not worried about not being able to match styles. If all else fails, he can just ask that leech Percy to buy some.

But with my girlfriend around, why go through all that trouble? Just ask her for help; it will not only please her but also strengthen our relationship—a win-win situation.

Nono thought it made sense, and beckoned him to go to the bedroom.

Caesar smiled, gave Lu Mingfei an apologetic look, and strode upstairs.

Lu Mingfei watched as the two of them sneaked into the bedroom in broad daylight. Although he knew their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, and even if it had, they wouldn't be having sex in front of guests, he still felt it was a bit too absurd.

What the hell, what kind of "forgotten child couple" is this?

Should we ask Ricardo to do a few somersaults to liven things up?

Ricardo, who was unpacking gift boxes with Erii and causing some mischief, quickly looked up, glanced around, and, finding no danger, continued to rummage through the gift boxes.

After the gift boxes were distributed, there were seven left. Two of them, Nono's and Ricardo's, were placed separately on a single sofa. Erii happily unpacked her and Lu Mingfei's blind boxes.

She opened four in a row, but none of them interested her. Compared to the priceless dragon bone and blood products and the expensive ornaments, she preferred pretty clothes and designer bags.

It would be even better if it were a limited edition game console or anime figurine.

Unfortunately, the four family heads were all elderly men over seventy, and they couldn't keep up with the times, so they prepared gifts according to their own habits.

However, when Erii opened the last gift box with the hope of getting the best deal, she was surprised to find a really nice gift inside.

This is one of the two grand gifts prepared by the head of the Wang family: a Nintendo Wii game console. According to his eldest grandson, it is currently the most popular game console on the market and cannot be bought in China. He had to ask someone in Taiwan to buy it for him.

Unfortunately, before it was even opened, Lao Deng took it and gave it to Lu Mingfei.

"Not bad." Seeing Erii's happy expression, Lu Mingfei stopped thinking about the special treatment the Wang family had given them earlier.

Just as the little witch was figuring out how to install the game console, the two above her also appeared.

Black and white.

Caesar changed into a flashy white suit, which, combined with his blond hair and fair skin, made him almost dazzlingly handsome.

"Have you considered dyeing your hair blue?" Lu Mingfei suggested to Caesar.

"How to say?"

"Red and blue have always been a classic color pairing."

Caesar:"……"

The last time he was this speechless was the time before.

"When are we leaving?" Nono saw her younger brother biting the gift box packaging, so she went over and picked him up, but he resisted by babbling.

"Let's do it now," Lu Mingfei decided.

"So early?" Nono glanced at the time; it was only ten o'clock.

"What, you're really planning to stay at the Chen family's for dinner?" Lu Mingfei glanced at her sideways.

"Of course not, I'm afraid they'll spit in the food."

Nono shook her head. Although she thought the matter was childish and absurd, it seemed quite reasonable when applied to the Chen family.

After all, she was indeed targeted and disgusted in various ways when she was a child.

"That's it then. They're not eating or doing anything, so they can go and come back sooner." Lu Mingfei called out to Erii, who had a game console plugged into the TV. "It'll be a good opportunity to catch them off guard."

"What about Ricardo?" Nono pressed down on her younger brother, who was still struggling to reach for the gift box and grinding his teeth, and pinched his chin to force his big eyes to look at Lu Mingfei.

"If you want to, bring it along; if not, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang can help you."

Old Tang, Constantine, and Ryoma Kaoru have been having a blast lately. Their movie was great, there's no need to add another one, otherwise Constantine would really be eating people.

As for Fingel, it's better to expect him to take care of the children than to expect him to bring down the Night's Watch and become the vice-principal himself.

But... Nono looked down at her adorable little brother, thinking of how pitiful he looked, trembling under the gaze of the mischievous Xia Mi and the unapproachable Chu Zihang, and finally decided to bring him along.

With Lu Mingfei around, and under his influence, the Chen family wouldn't dare to forcibly seize anything.

This will show that man who only cares about scheming what true family dynamics are all about.

On a whim, the four adults and one child set off immediately.

The group took the elevator directly to the hotel's underground parking lot.

Nono was about to get into her car when she noticed a figure standing quietly by a pillar not far away.

There was a blond, blue-eyed man who looked somewhat like his foreigner standing there, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Before she could even ask if this was the Gattuso family representative Caesar had mentioned, she heard Caesar question her in an unfriendly tone:

"Percy, what are you doing here?"

Percy stood in the shadow of the pillar, hearing Caesar's displeased question, but his face showed no surprise. He simply bowed slightly, performing a flawless salute.
"Young Master Caesar, my sole mission in China is to ensure your safety and handle all matters for you at any time."

Whether as a bodyguard, secretary, or assistant.

The implication was that he had to stay by Caesar's side at all times, or else he would be committing a serious dereliction of duty.

The reasons were high-sounding and watertight, as if to say, "Don't make things difficult for me, a working person."

Caesar's icy blue eyes flashed with anger. He knew all too well the ways of those old guys in the Gattuso family. They were probably worried that he would follow Lu Mingfei's reckless actions and ruin the joint plan between the Gattuso and Chen families.

Nuonuo held Li Jiatu, watching the scene with indifference.

She knew Percy was following them for a reason, and many reasons at that, but she didn't have the time or inclination to think about it right now. "Whatever your schemes are, tell Lu Mingfei behind me."

Lu Mingfei watched the show from the sidelines with Erii by his side, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Percy's excuse might fool others, but to him it was utter nonsense. The Gattuso family was clearly worried that he might quietly destroy the Chen family at the slightest provocation, and that Caesar, the ultimate traitor, might conceal this for various reasons.

So he sent Percy, his assistant, bodyguard, and secretary, to follow him closely, wanting to see for himself what other unknown methods Lu Mingfei had up his sleeve.

After all, so far, the fighting style he has shown to outsiders has mostly been simple, brutal, and one-sided crushing based on absolute power.

If, as he suspected, the Gattuso family truly harbored a dragon king behind them, then the other party would never believe that he could solve all the problems with such a simple and brutal method.

Although Lu Mingfei publicly claimed that he had destroyed the White King Dragon Bone, no one would take that statement seriously.

The Wind King, who wished to remain anonymous, would surely suspect whether he had inherited or stolen some of the powers belonging to the White King.

The purpose of having Percy observe closely was to see if he could find any clues to prove that Lu Mingfei truly possessed the power of the White King.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but mutter to himself:
If Xiao Fengzi really intends to do so, isn't he worried that by directly using his mind control abilities, he could distort Percy's will, turning him from a loyal dog of the Gattuso family into his puppet and spy?
Or is it that the other party is absolutely certain that even if Percy's will is twisted and he becomes a double agent, they can see through him at a glance and even use him in reverse?
Oh Moses Roy~
If it is indeed the latter, the other party is very likely an all-around player like Xia Mi, who can master various schools of thought and utilize different bloodline source spirits.

As expected of the strongest warrior among the four monarchs and eight kings mentioned by a certain Ye, he is far superior to a student like Shrimp who excels in only one subject.

Despite feeling a slight humiliation in his heart, Lu Mingfei had no intention of intervening in the standoff between Caesar and Percy; he simply made a mental note of it.

After giving me the gift, Percy ignored me completely, not even greeting me when we met. I guess he was upset because he gave me a Ferrari worth millions as a gift and got scolded by Gattuso's father. I'll give him a bigger gift later.

After finishing writing, he took Ricardo, who was still gesturing wildly and oblivious to the tense atmosphere around him, from Nono's arms, and pulled Erii into the car first.

I gave the Ferrari keys to Chu Zihang last night, and he'll drive his Mazda to Chu's house today to show off.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei had no objections, Caesar glanced at Percy, who was unyielding and clearly showed that he would stick with him no matter what. He knew that continuing the argument would only be a waste of breath and increase his frustration.

He opened the driver's side door, let Nuonuo get in, and then went around to the passenger side, deftly opened the door, and got in.

Percy remained oblivious to Caesar's anger and Nono's cold stare, his face still bearing the formulaic, impeccable smile.

After the Maybach slowly drove out of the parking space, he quickly walked to a brand-new black Mercedes not far away and followed behind the Maybach at a leisurely pace, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Nono glanced at the Mercedes following closely behind through the rearview mirror, pursed her lips, and did not attempt to use any superior driving skills to shake it off.

Not to mention the speed limits in the city, and with such a clear destination, even if we shake them off, we'll only run into each other again at the entrance of the Chen family mansion.

The two cars, one after the other, drove through the bustling streets of Beijing and finally arrived near Xishan, where the Chen family's main residence was located. It was a sizable, ancient manor with high walls and deep courtyards, exuding an extraordinary grandeur.

As soon as the car came to a stop outside the gate, several people who had been waiting at the door immediately came to greet it.

Leading the group was Chen Fu, the old butler whom they had met briefly the previous night. Standing beside him was Chen Wei'en, who had previously disguised himself as a driver, along with several guards in black suits with sharp eyes.

Clearly, the Chen family was not as sensible as the four family heads from that morning.

They sent people to secretly monitor Lu Mingfei and his group's movements. As soon as they set off, they received the news and made preparations to welcome them.

"Lord Lu Mingfei, I apologize for not greeting you properly. I hope you will forgive me."

"Young Master Caesar, I've long admired your name; you are indeed a man of imposing stature!"

"Miss Mo Tong, and young master, welcome home."

"Head of the Uesugi family, please come in quickly."

Chen Fu greeted everyone with an impeccable smile and a respectful tone, his gaze finally settling on Percy, who was alighting from the Mercedes behind him.
"Who is this……"

“Pasci Gattuso, Mr. Caesar’s assistant.”

"So you're Young Master Caesar's assistant, my apologies." Chen Fu immediately nodded to Percy, his manners impeccable.

As the representative of the Chen family's direct line, Chen Wei'en also acted as a greeter. While Chen Fu was exchanging pleasantries with Lu Mingfei and Caesar, he moved closer to Nuonuo with a warm smile on his face.

"Nono, my dear sister, welcome home."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted to Ricardo in her arms, not forgetting the little baby who had a very low profile: "And you, my dear brother."

I almost blurted out "key" just now, but thankfully I held back.

"Don't give me that." Nono glared at him like a mother leopard protecting her cubs, then turned to the side while holding Ricardo, blocking his view.

Although Chen Wei'en didn't directly participate in bullying her when they were young, many of the guys who enjoyed bullying her were his followers.

Because of her hatred for him, Nono felt that this guy wasn't exactly a good person either, so she naturally didn't give him a friendly look.

Chen Wei'en was rebuffed, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He simply raised his hand slightly and took a half step back to signal her not to be angry.

Chen Fu seemed oblivious to this minor incident, and continued to speak to Lu Mingfei with a beaming smile:

"I'm so sorry. The head of the family thought you would arrive around noon. There was an urgent matter at the group headquarters this morning that required his personal attention."

However, the head of the family has already received the news and is on his way back.

"Gentlemen, please come with me to the hall for tea. The genealogy you requested has been prepared and will be delivered shortly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei found it amusing.

Emergency? On my way back?
That's a lie.

It was clear that Old Deng didn't dare to meet him immediately, fearing that he would act unpredictably from the start and give him a surprise attack.

That's why I deliberately hid, planning to arrive late after figuring out their intentions and attitude.

He didn't expose it, but simply nodded indifferently: "Sure, I'll go with the flow."

"This way, please." Chen Fu bowed and led the way.

The group followed Chen Fu through the neatly manicured front garden and into the magnificent main hall of the house.

After everyone was seated, maids dressed in elegant cheongsams immediately served hot tea and fruit. Chen Fu personally took the teapot and poured tea for everyone.

Chen Wei'en stood to the side holding a baby bottle, looking conflicted, unsure whether he should go up and help feed the child.

I'm afraid of getting scolded by Nuonuo again; that girl has a sharp tongue.

Soon, a member of the Chen family came in carrying a sandalwood box that looked quite old.

She was a young woman with a beautiful face, but her brows carried an air of arrogance that she couldn't shake off.

She handed the wooden box to Chen Wei'en, her gaze quickly sweeping over everyone present. When she saw Nuonuo, a hint of undisguised jealousy and disgust flashed in her eyes.

However, when her gaze inadvertently swept over Erii, who was sitting quietly next to Lu Mingfei and sipping her tea, she seemed to be burned and abruptly withdrew her gaze, quickly lowering her head and not daring to look at her a second time.

It was as if they were afraid that if they showed any inappropriate emotions in their eyes, it would lead to terrible consequences.

Caesar saw all of this.

The Chen family's fawning over Lu Mingfei, their respect for him, their rejection of Nuonuo, their fear of Erii, and their complete disregard for Ricardo...

All of this felt like needles pricking his heart, making him realize once again that in this dog-eat-dog world where strength reigns supreme, without sufficient power, even the most prestigious family background cannot protect the people he cares about.

They will still be looked down upon and hurt.

Like his mother, like his girlfriend.

A sense of powerlessness washed over him, making the usually proud Caesar feel stifled and irritable.

His hands, resting on his knees, clenched unconsciously as a thought grew wildly in his mind—he had to become stronger!
He recalled the terrifying power Chu Zihang had displayed in the parking lot when he interrogated Fujiwara Shinnosuke in Japan, and his icy blue eyes turned scorching.
