Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 230 Caesar's Day of Freedom

In China, Lu Mingfei rarely uses his privileges. Even when buying steamed buns for breakfast, he has to queue up carefully because he often has to bring breakfast to the girls who stay overnight. He has to buy several trays at a time. Sometimes, when he sees that the people behind him are in a hurry to get to work, he will take the initiative to let them go first. When going to amusement parks or shopping, he would never do anything like clearing out the area.

But it must be said that the Kassel College system does have a semblance of authenticity.

Tsk, school board members, tsk, privileged class.

No matter how long Fingel's chin dragged on in envy and jealousy, no matter how many people around him were looking at him, some with envious eyes and some with jealous eyes.

Lu Mingfei nodded calmly; a master doesn't need to speak at this moment.

Surrounded by waiters, we walked through the ancient red brick passageway and arrived at the quaint and elegant platform at the far end.

Built in 1925, this train station is a typical Romanesque building, featuring majestic stone columns, gleaming marble floors, and an arched dome.
The CC1000 train is shaped like a bullet and the trail it leaves. The silver World Tree pattern extends from the front of the train to the three carriages behind. The gray coat with a bear head printed on it shines brightly under the lights.

The carriage door slid open, and Professor Guderian's imposing figure was already waiting. Fingel was about to give his mentor a warm hug when he was pushed aside. The old professor waved excitedly to the back.
"Hi! Mingfei! Long time no see!"

His voice was filled with joy, as if the two had already established a friendly teacher-student relationship back in Binhai.

Lu Mingfei smiled appropriately, as if a leader were visiting, and took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with him.
"Hello, Professor Guderian."

……

The atmosphere at Kassel College has been a bit strange lately.

Last year, when the fall semester was about to begin, the campus would have been bustling with activity.

The students appear harmonious on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath; the disciplinary committee members appear harmonious on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath; the school staff appear harmonious on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath…

Meanwhile, the unrelated crowd prepared sunflower seeds, peanuts, alcohol, and drinks in advance, staying in their dorm rooms and refreshing the Night Watchers forum every three seconds to participate in the upcoming day of revelry from afar.

But this year is a little different.

Beneath the surface of harmony, there were no undercurrents, but rather it had become a stagnant pool.

"Boss, Lancelot has accepted the challenge."

In the Norton Hall, in the conference room, a student council member reported to his boss.

All members of the student council attended the meeting. The current president, César Gattuso, sat on a sofa in front of the fireplace, his hands supporting his chin, looking straight ahead, with the Gattuso family's phoenix crest hanging above his head.

The hall was filled with distinguished guests.

Outside the window, the garden is full of blooming roses. The red of the roses contrasts sharply with the white walls of the distant castle, which resemble snow-capped mountains. The contrast between the white and red colors creates a striking visual effect, giving one a dizzying, unreal feeling.

The silence had lasted a long time, and almost everyone had a long face.

If you were to ask who the most popular person at Kassel College is, it would undoubtedly be Cesare Gattuso, who sits in the main seat.

Thinking back to Caesar in his prime, with his feather fan and silk turban, the young Lion King arrived in his new territory with great arrogance, wanting to do only three things—show off, show off, and show off some more.

This Italian nobleman entered the campus, raced cars, wielded a Desert Eagle in the lecture hall, went on dates and got into fights, sang karaoke in Norton Hall, drank champagne in the pool, and threw a party in Valhalla...

Professor Manstein, then chairman of the disciplinary committee, had his blood pressure rising every half hour.

Unfortunately, this guy is the heir of the Gattuso family, the school board, with a harem father, a mysterious maternal clan, family discord... all sorts of factors from his original family background have created a KING who is destined for great things.

His name remained consistently high in the trending posts on the Night Watchers forum. In the words of one administrator:
"Caesar wasn't even human!"

"A newly appointed official is full of vigor, and the guy who just put on his boots and raises his leg high is exactly like this!"

"This thing is a born bad seed!"

Then, less than two days later, the news department where the administrator worked was taken over by Comrade Caesar, who had just taken office as the student council president. Along with this, the original dance department was disbanded and a new department called 'Lace Girls' was added.

The sentiment on the Night Watch forums immediately reversed.
It turned into "The Chairman is indeed a tough guy; a real man never avoids his sexual fetishes."

"Welcome the glorious Emperor Julius Caesar to guide his loyal Kassel College!"

And help pin a novel advertisement such as "The wise Chairman Caesar is building a society of the most beautiful women in the world" to the top of the screen.

This new department, suspected to be Caesar's harem, sparked a long-lasting craze for selecting concubines at the school as soon as it was established. The department was headed by Ekaterina, the former head of the dance department.

The primary criterion for the second round of selection was leg length, which resulted in every member being a tall, beautiful young woman with legs longer than life itself, dressed in a white lace dress. They were proficient in tango, ballet, Latin dance, and other styles. The entire process of joining the dance troupe was supervised and assessed by the Emperor... oh no, His Majesty the Chairman.

The administrator is responsible for providing feedback and suggestions.

However, it wasn't the henchman who had just been recruited, but another true administrator who had management authority over the entire academy and was usually in charge of major projects such as swimming exams.

In response, the junior administrator, who had been used and discarded, made no attempt to conceal his twisted nature, willing to risk being dismissed and forced to create a fake account to bravely expose the shady dealings.

Of course, the online trolls said that this was just a poor man's blatant hatred of the rich.

It's a matter of mutual consent; after all, the Chairman is unmarried and single, so the girls at school certainly have the right to pursue their own happiness, right?

But when the peach blossoms didn't even bloom the following year, everyone was shocked—the flamboyant lace-clad girls' plans, whether they were attracted to the young Lion King's looks, his extravagant spending habits, or his family background, all fell through.

The Chairman didn't choose a partner from his harem at all; instead, he just picked an ordinary-looking Chinese girl and started dating her.

"Why?"

This was the question in everyone's mind at the time.

The disgraced administrator was overjoyed and began a year-long "live broadcast of their passionate romance" on the forum, not for any other reason than to make those fools who thought they had everything under control weep bitterly.

No one cared about the twisted and perverse mentality of the person who was fueling the fire; fortunately, Caesar was indeed quite capable.

Not only do they find new excuses to give gifts every single day of the year, but they also continuously publish—

There's nothing shameful about pleasing women.

'I, Caesar, have never lived for anyone—except women.'

'No cage in the world should be able to confine a real man, with one exception: the girl you love…'

A series of classic contrasting quotes.

Later, experts finally uncovered the most likely reason why Caesar fell in love with that girl at first sight.

It turns out that the reason the sisters developed such abnormal personalities was because of family discord from a young age!

The Lace Girls group almost disbanded on the spot. What the hell? My harmonious family life is now a negative factor?

Does this conform to the rules of the matchmaking market, boss?

However, compared to his irrational personal feelings, Chairman Caesar did have some real achievements.

In his first year at university, Caesar easily secured the position of student council president. He then streamlined and reorganized the internal structure, drafted a student council revitalization plan, and established new development goals. He also launched activities unique to the student council. Most importantly, he found a very interesting project.

A day of freedom.

Many years ago, an alumnus, dissatisfied with the college's high-pressure militaristic management, worked hard with the principal under the instigation of unknown individuals, and finally won the students their own unique holiday - Freedom Day.

On this day, students at Kassel College can organize various activities on their own, and as long as they don't cause any deaths or serious damage to facilities, they can completely disregard all disciplinary regulations.

That is, a day of 'chaos and chaos'.
However, as the founders graduated, this once highly commemorative holiday became increasingly formalized, gradually becoming synonymous with 'taking a day off from school and going shopping in Chicago'.

The reason is simple: the students in the academy are not quite normal. If they make any big moves, it could easily lead to high repair costs. And the Secret Party is known for counting their gold coins on their fingers.

In other words, the school has concerns about reimbursement.

But Caesar Gattuso happened to have plenty of money, and immediately declared that the student council would always stand on the side of student interests and fight for student freedom.

His first promise was to revive the tradition of 'Freedom Day' and to personally cover the costs of repairing school facilities, while also leading negotiations with the school administration.

Unsurprisingly, Caesar succeeded.

Who told him to have the entire Gattuso family, the school board, as his backer?
But at the time, no one thought that what Caesar really wanted was a war, naturally aimed at the Lionheart Society, the student council's inevitable nemesis. He wanted to use a 'freedom' surprise attack to expose the weakness and backwardness of this aging lion, thus making it a stepping stone for Caesar!
The most direct way would be to use the campus as a battlefield and have a real confrontation with the Lionheart Society. This would not only unleash the lawless nature of young people, but also fully demonstrate the growing strength of the student council under his leadership.

In both freshman and sophomore years, the student council won the "free day".

Under Caesar's leadership, the student council has continuously recruited members and has long since become a club that can rival the Lionheart, the most traditional fraternity at Kassel College. This is Caesar's achievement.

But he was still not satisfied. The war between gangs was not like a martial arts school challenging another school, where the strongest fighter would step forward and fight, and whoever lost would have to close down and leave. The outcome was decided in one match.

A factional victory is not an individual victory; one or two victories mean far less than anything else.
What he needs is to lay the foundation with one victory, and then use a continuous stream of victories, a snowballing victory, to ensure that the loser's name is forever crushed under his feet.

Just like the real Julius Caesar in history.

Moreover, as the oldest brotherhood, the Lionheart Society's foundation will not allow them to collapse because of one or two defeats.

The name "Lionheart Club" is itself a prestigious brand.

In particular, last year the Lionheart Society recruited Chu Zihang, who was called a "super A" level student. As soon as he entered the school, he was entrusted with the important task of the Lionheart Society president. In just one year, he even showed signs of becoming Caesar's "arch-enemy".

...Of course, some unpleasant things did happen later, causing a great stir.

In any case, Caesar was never interested in gossip.

He even gave a semi-public speech at a student council meeting at the end of the May semester, claiming:
"God heard the hymns sung by the choir on the plateau, and all the people smiled at him. The entire plateau became the resonating chamber of an organ, and the world played a solo for him. After the singing ended, the instruments turned to play other music, for the poor believers, for the passing travelers. God was never angry because of this, because hymns were still sung on every great festival..."

"What truly matters are the thorns that grow rampant in the mountains and plains, burning like wildfire at his feet and blocking the pilgrims' path. Only then will God mercifully pluck them away with his own hands..."

The brilliant student council members immediately understood what Caesar was implying: the president's wife, who had gone off to fight and had not yet returned, could be forgiven, but the battle would never end.

However, the real target Caesar wanted to fight was...

Clearly, it wasn't Lancelot, the vice president of the Lionheart Society who had just accepted the challenge.

Instead, it was Chu Zihang, the guild leader, who was also out hunting in the wild...

"Still no news from Chu Zihang?"

Caesar said with a disappointed look.

To be honest, he originally planned to play jungle, but his application was rejected because of his nationality.

The subordinate in charge of intelligence replied, "Before the end of last semester, the ID 'Muramasa' would occasionally appear on the Night Watchers forum, but starting in July, Chu Zihang seems to have vanished into thin air, and no one can contact him."

“Lancelot is also unable to contact Chu Zihang,” the younger brother added.

Caesar then asked, "Where's Susie? I remember she went back with Chu Zihang."

As a Lionheart Society seed with A-grade bloodline, Susie's name was certainly worth remembering. If it weren't for Chu Zihang's existence, this aloof and beautiful Chinese girl would have been perfect for joining the Lace Girls Group.

A cool and aloof beauty who dances while slashing people is very much to Caesar's liking.

"This..." The younger brother looked troubled.

Susie returned ahead of time, and when I bumped into her several times in the cafeteria or library, she always seemed to enjoy life. But my intuition told me that if I asked her about Chu Zihang, I might die.

Caesar didn't make things difficult for his underling, but said thoughtfully, "If Chu Zihang doesn't come back, even if we win against Lancelot again, it won't mean much, will it?"

The cadres nodded in agreement.

This was also the thought that lingered in the minds of all the cadres in the conference hall.

Without Chu Zihang's freedom, what need is there for even a single day?

According to usual practice, for the sake of fairness, the leader of one's own group should also withdraw from the battle, as it would be pointless for the rest of them to just mess around.

Suddenly, a series of 'ding-dong' notification sounds rang out in the conference hall.

Many student union officers reached for their phones on the table.

Caesar was always very open-minded, because his meetings were often quite 'free-flowing'. As long as the spirit of the meeting was conveyed, he never minded if the elites occasionally replied to messages from their girlfriends, as long as it wasn't during his speeches.

However, this time it wasn't a rebellion by the cadres' girlfriends.

It's the Night Watchers forum.

The privileged dog overwhelmed the message notifications and posted two red-highlighted posts 'reminding everyone'.

"Breaking news! A mysterious school board member arrives on the CC1000 express train, and the Lionheart Club president serves him tea and water."

"The young S-class may become a new generation, and Gattuso's false emperor status is about to be in jeopardy!"
