A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 88 Lu Mingze: It must have been Black King who did it!

"How's the little white rabbit doing? Is it as popular as the boss said?"

With legs as long as a fairy's, Jiu Demai lay on a custom-made deer velvet sofa, tilting her head to ask Su Enxi, "I really can't imagine it."

"How can a loser like Little White Rabbit stand out in the elite Kassel headquarters?"

They have moved from a hotel in New York to the Peninsula Hotel in Chicago, which underwent a major renovation this year.

With Su Enxi, the "black gold swan" of the financial market, around, their lives are always top-notch, no matter where they go.

Su Enxi was even more languid than Jiu Demai, sinking into an office chair, potato chips in her left hand and red wine in her right, her main style being a casual mix: "Not yet."

"With so many surveillance cameras, they only watched Chu Zihang and Caesar fight, and in the end Chu Zihang won against Caesar. Little Rabbit didn't have any room to maneuver at all."

"I could only stand there dumbfounded and watch the whole thing. I really don't know what the boss was thinking."

If students in Kassel were to overhear this conversation, they would likely draw their guns and subdue the two men, and even interrogate them further to find out what they intended to do to the academy.

They actually dare to monitor the college?

"Huh?" Mai Shude was taken aback. She couldn't imagine Lu Mingfei making such a splash, but that's what the boss said.

The boss is like a screenwriter behind the scenes; things usually unfold according to the script he writes, and there are rarely any surprises.

The boss had mentioned the development of the situation several times before, but Mai Shude didn't quite believe it. However, the facts often proved that the boss's foresight was correct.

Over time, both Mai and Su Enxi developed an almost superstitious reverence for their boss's arrangements.

The boss once said that Lu Mingfei would make a big splash and become famous throughout the entire college on his first day at Kassel.

So now there's another problem? Lu Mingfei failed to show off successfully on Freedom Day? What exactly went wrong?

Last time at the New York hotel, the owner seemed to be trying to find the missing Old Tang, but he was injured for some unknown reason. Could this have affected his plans?

Both of them were actually quite worried about their boss. After he was injured that time, he suddenly left, and afterwards, he only contacted them via text message.

However, the text messages were all orders, instructing Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi to do certain things, without mentioning anything about the boss's own situation.

"Girls, I'm so glad you care about me."

Just like last time at the hotel in New York, the boss always appears suddenly and then disappears without a trace.

Upon hearing this, Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi sat up at the same time and looked at Lu Mingze with concern.

Lu Mingze acted as if nothing had happened. For some reason, he was dressed as a hotel waiter and pushed a small food cart into the room.

Judging by its appearance alone, its height, which is the same as the food cart, is rather cute.

"Boss!" Su Enxi wanted to get off the chair to greet him, but she had just crossed her legs on the fully enclosed executive chair and her legs went numb so quickly that she couldn't stand up.

"Boss, you're here." It was Mai Shude, a well-trained female ninja, who sprang to her feet and walked to Lu Mingze's side in two steps, taking over pushing the food cart from her boss.

Feeling the concerned looks from his two subordinates, Lu Mingze was quite relieved: "I'm fine, don't worry too much."

Lu Mingze, who appeared unharmed, did not tell his two subordinates that he was in extremely poor condition and his mind was constantly filled with mysterious murmurs.

It is either an unknown murmur composed of gray fog and worms, or a colorless wave that can wash away all emotions.

She's constantly putting on a concert in Lu Mingze's head, driving him crazy.

That's why Lu Mingze left without saying goodbye last time, wanting to quickly suppress these delirious ramblings and prevent them from escalating.

Despite trying all available methods, Lu Mingze found none of them effective against the delirious ramblings in his mind, and all his efforts failed to alleviate the madness in the slightest. Fortunately, with the passage of time, those insane ramblings, like rootless duckweed, were gradually being worn away by Lu Mingze's powerful will, and the madness was gradually diminishing.

Now, the pain in my mind has subsided to about one-third of its initial state, and it may completely disappear after some time.

Lu Mingze felt both relieved and worried about this.

The gray fog that entwines fate, the ocean that contains all colors—Lu Mingze was initially very curious about what this thing he had never seen before could be.

Why did it not appear when he was peering into fate before, but now it stands in his way when he is peering into fate?
But now he's not curious anymore. The headaches and delirium have taught Lu Mingze a lesson, at least he's realized that in the realm of mysticism, one shouldn't be too curious about certain things.

Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.

In response, Lu Mingze could only conclude that this was some kind of backup plan by the Black King Nidhogg!
Everyone says Caesar was arrogant, but Lu Mingze was far more arrogant than Caesar; he truly had ambitions that soared to the heavens.

Aside from Nidhogg the Black King and his own brother Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingze looks down on everyone else in the world.

Even in the history of the dragon race, Lu Mingze did not believe that the White King, who was once as famous as the Black King, or Odin, the most sinister of the eight kings, could be on par with him.

He felt that even the White King and Odin were inferior to him.

To make him suffer a loss, Lu Mingze could only think of the Black King. The gray fog and the sea containing all colors must have been the work of the Black King!
As for the Dragon Emperor who would inevitably return in the future, Lu Mingze did not intend to tell his two subordinates.

It's no use talking. Do you think Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi can solve the Black King's problem?
It only adds to the trouble.

Suppressing the irritation and headache brought on by his delirium, Lu Mingze forced a relaxed and carefree demeanor, tiptoed, and retrieved two bottles of champagne: "Ladies, would you like a drink?"

Su Enxi stood up, took out a wine glass and poured wine. Lu Mingze, dressed as a servant, sat in the main seat. After the food and wine were served, he raised his glass, swirled it, and said some good news: "News has come from the capital airport."

"Norma spotted Ronald Don on the surveillance footage over there."

"They hacked into the ticketing system again and discovered that Ronald Tang had forged his visa and passport and used a fake identity to purchase a ticket to Yichang Airport."

"It is highly likely that they intend to go to the Three Gorges and return to Bronze City."

When Mai Shude and Enxi Su heard that their boss could access Norma, the artificial intelligence at Kassel College, they remained unmoved.

As the boss's most trusted confidants, the two women already knew that Lu Mingze had somehow managed to establish a secret partnership with Angers, the current principal of Kassel.

The two sides had been in secret contact for some time. In the past, Angers would often ask Fingel, who was in a period of decline, to go out and make deals with Mai or Suenxi.

We've already cooperated to this extent, so what's wrong with asking Angers to secretly use Norma to help find someone?
But upon hearing of Old Tang's whereabouts, they had to change their expressions.

Mai immediately put down her wine glass: "Three Gorges? Norton? Could it be that Dragon King Norton has regained his memories?"

Originally, Su Enxi was quite mischievous, deliberately refusing to drink, just leaving the wine glass in front of her and sniffing it like a cat. But upon hearing this, she became worried: "What if Norton regains his memories?"

"All our previous plans have to be scrapped and started over."

"Calm down." In contrast to his panicked subordinates, Lu Mingze, despite his splitting headache, maintained the composure and dignity of a monarch.

It was as if these little mishaps could only add to his enjoyment and would never shake the script he had written in advance.

She even had the leisure to raise her glass, hold it up to the light, and admire the swirling liquid inside: "Norma has already taken screenshots for comparison."

"We judged it based on screenshots left by airport surveillance."

"Ronald Don is still suffering from amnesia and has not regained Norton's memories."
