Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from the New Three Kingdoms

Chapter 165 Caesar's Gift

Happy birthday! The gift I sent you should arrive today. I hope you like it.

"P.S.: I was really looking forward to you spending your birthday in Italy. I even arranged for the best chef to make you a Margherita pizza."

"It's a bit of a shame that there's no whole Golden Wind travel route you described and that the actors will be performing the stage play you're most likely to want to see at specific locations."

—Caesar.

Lu Mingfei was unpacking the package that had inexplicably arrived earlier that day when he received this text message from Caesar.

It wasn't as detailed as the marriage proposal text message given to Nuonuo, but you could still feel the sincerity of her feelings.

A couple of days ago, he told Caesar that since things were almost settled, he should go back now, because, you know, he hadn't even had a chance to try out his new computer yet.

Then Caesar simply asked him to stay, which he took as a polite remark, so he returned.

So Caesar made a phone call to some kind of club called Mittel, and then he went out and made his journey directly, leaving in the morning and arriving home that same evening.

But what exactly is the Golden Wind travel route and the live stage show at specific locations?! It's so cool!

Why didn't you say so sooner?! If you had said so earlier, I would have stayed! Your attempt to persuade me to stay doesn't make it seem like you've prepared something big!

Oh, you went to your friend's house, were about to leave, and then he said, "Xi, what a pity, I was just about to cook. Why don't you stay?"

Any normal person would just exchange pleasantries and then leave.

Two days later, your friend messaged you saying that he had originally planned a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you, and that you would take a helicopter to the hotel rooftop to eat it instead.

Don't make it sound like you're only planning to treat me to a bowl of noodles when you're doing such a big job.

It's tough to keep it up, but what else can we do? Everyone's back now, so let's not dwell on it anymore.

Lu Mingfei was trying to figure out how to open the huge package.

What exactly is this thing?

"Happy birthday, Mingfei... What is this?"

Chu Zihang pushed open Lu Mingfei's door and saw Lu Mingfei holding the Hentian Sword, gesturing at a package taller than a person.

"Oh, senior brother, you've come at the right time. This is a birthday present from Caesar. I have no idea what it is."

"It looks very luxurious."

Chu Zihang commented that compared to the huge black package, his small cake seemed rather ordinary.

Fortunately, Chu Zihang didn't need to feel inferior because of this.

Because Lu Mingfei had already taken the small cake and started eating it.

"Oh, I'm hungry too! Senior brother, you've come at just the right time! Wow! Your cooking is amazing!"

Yes, these are small cakes made by Chu Zihang himself.

Although it is simple and unadorned, it contains his clever little ideas.

Because this is something he has always been looking forward to.

When Chu Zihang was young, his birthdays were very simple.

The family of three sat in their small room, eating the small cakes they had bought, making wishes with their eyes closed, and laughing and joking as the night passed.

The new father, on the other hand, has a more elaborate presence.

Take your son and wife to Disneyland or something, and then the three of you just grin like idiots in front of the camera and take a picture.

But all in all, it lacks a certain feeling.

It's a feeling I can't quite put my finger on.

It's that feeling of security.

Chu Tianjiao almost never gave Chu Zihang a sense of security.

Even when he was very young.

He always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of alienation about his father.

It's like this man drinking cola while soaking in a bathhouse, and when his son scrubs his back, he's not thinking about family bliss but something else entirely.

It was as if he had known all along that his marriage with his mother was bound to end, so everything was based on that premise.

Children have very keen senses, not to mention that Chu Tianjiao was a failed imposter in front of his son.

And later events proved that he was indeed thinking about something else.

It wasn't until after the overpass that the world began to reveal a corner of itself to Chu Zihang, and he was no longer able to relax during his new father's birthday celebration.

Actually, he really liked his new father; he was a respectable businessman and treated both mother and son very well.

But without dragon blood, this bloodline becomes an insurmountable barrier.

So he couldn't feel at ease at Disneyland either. The happier he was, the more fearful he became. When things were good, he would fear that everything would be torn apart.

Amusement parks are supposed to be carefree places, but Chu Zihang always felt that a Deadpool might jump out from anywhere.

Lu Mingfei, however, is different.

This person gives people a sense of security wherever they are.

When you have a nightmare, the thought that this person is not far from you can help you fall asleep peacefully. When you are happy, you don't have to worry that the world of dragons will come and destroy everything you have the next second.

Because he was there, he would dispel the darkness of nightmares and tear apart the dragons that came to plunder.

It sounds a bit selfish, but it's like the sky is falling down and you find that there's actually a tall person next to you who can hold it up.

This gave Chu Zihang a real sense of security, as if he had a father.

Just like now, he's handing the small cake to Lu Mingfei.

He'll just wolf down his food with gusto, then let out a loud burp to show you how well you did.

Then he said, "Oh, you've come at the perfect time! Let's figure out how to open this big package together!"

I feel very at ease.

Chu Zihang circled around, studying the large package.

He didn't speak, but his eyes were very serious.

It's like looking at a car that has a problem, or a gun that needs to be disassembled.

The outer layer of the package is a thick black waterproof tarpaulin, and then there is a cardboard box on the outside.

The cardboard box had no extra patterns, only a neat line of English text and a string of numbers.

There was also a gold seal stuck in the corner.

The seal is intact.

Then he squatted down and touched the tape at the bottom of the package. Suddenly, his fingers stopped at the edge.

"There are ropes inside."

Lu Mingfei looked over with his mouth full of cream.

"Tying rope?"

Chu Zihang nodded.

He pressed gently along the side of the package.

The rebound felt like it was being held in sections by something, as if layers of straps were locking the internal structure shut.

"It's not single-layer packaging; tearing it open directly will damage the contents."

Lu Mingfei understood, and he picked up the Heaven-Hating Sword.

"Slice it directly?"

Chu Zihang shook his head. He took out a marker from his pocket and drew several lines on the outer layer of the package along several stress points.

Looking at the mark that looked like it was made before surgery, Lu Mingfei suddenly thought that this person would be quite suitable to be a surgeon if he weren't mixed-race.

Calm and precise, his hand doesn't tremble when he strikes.

However, I might have to start by learning forensic medicine, and I'm a forensic doctor in Mirika, so I have a lot of samples.

Lu Mingfei looked at the markings.

"Just follow this direction."

Chu Zihang nodded.

He pulled out the village rain, and the indoor light drew a cold white line on the blade.

Lu Mingfei also gripped the Heaven-Hating Sword firmly.

The two people stood on either side of the package, like they were operating on a strange operating table.

The demolition didn't take too long, but Lu Mingfei was very curious as to why Caesar had brought this thing over.

Why is it so complicated?

Is it revenge for him not staying in Italy to celebrate his birthday?

Hard to say.
