Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Chapter 108 Charlotte & Elizabeth

An eerie silence fell over the meeting room, with only the gurgling sound of fleshy buds wriggling and healing from the wound on the abdomen of the half-dragon Pasi echoing in the empty room.

Even Frost remained silent. He was well aware of his own limitations; even Percy, the family's most powerful henchman, had been kicked away by Lu Mingfei. He had no means to stop Lu Mingfei now.

Fortunately, during the chaos, he had secretly sent the message back to the family headquarters. Those elders who had lived for hundreds of years must have trump cards that even he didn't know about. As long as they took action, Frost believed that the Gattuso family would definitely be able to overcome this crisis.

"Huh, huh? Nobody's responding? Well then I'll just have to pick two lucky audience members myself." Lu Mingfei made the same expression as Hengfei Ji, but with his Zangtian Emperor skin, nobody found it cute; it just made people feel horrified.

The hearts of all the board members instantly leaped into their throats. They had seen all sorts of bloody battles to get to where they were today, but if they were to follow a seemingly crazy person to take down a mixed-race family with a thousand-year history, who could guarantee that he wouldn't wipe out everyone around him in his killing spree? As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, and no one wanted to throw their life away there for no reason.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Mingfei slowly raised a finger, his gaze sweeping over the pale-faced school board members. His fingertip lingered for half a second on a stranger's face, causing the man's pupils to shrink. But before the man could react, Lu Mingfei's fingertip slid over and tapped Charlotte Gottingen next to him, then moved to Angers in the main seat, muttering, "Little, rooster, points, at, who, I, will, choose, who."

The moment the last word was uttered, Lu Mingfei's finger pointed directly at the middle-aged school board member who had spoken first at the meeting. The middle-aged school board member was horrified, his face contorted, and he was almost about to shout for mercy.

Lu Mingfei glanced at him, then shook his head in disdain. He then looked the board members over again, pointed at Charlotte and the girl who was still wearing a black veil, and said, "You two are the ones."

The two girls rolled their eyes inwardly. So all that pretense of calling people earlier was just a prank to scare them, right?

"Let me introduce myself," Lu Mingfei said, raising his chin to the two girls.

Charlotte, with her long, light blonde hair, rose first and gave Lu Mingfei an elegant aristocratic bow, her tone refined and proper: "Hello, Principal Lu Mingfei, I am Charlotte Gottingen, the current head of the Gottingen family. Our family has been deeply involved in the field of alchemy for generations, accumulating hundreds of years of experience in this area—"

"Stop, stop, stop," she was interrupted by Lu Mingfei halfway through her sentence. Having been strictly trained in aristocratic etiquette since childhood, she couldn't help but slightly furrow her beautiful brows. Then she heard Lu Mingfei continue, "I asked you to introduce yourself, not to read your family's alchemy brochure to me, understand? If you understand, say it again."

Charlotte was speechless. She didn't know what she had to say. Growing up, her mother had died early, and her father had always been distant from her. From childhood, she had been isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. While her peers were squandering their youth under the sun, she could only immerse herself in the obscure and difficult "Principles of Alchemy," completing most of her subjects through self-study, just to touch the truth of alchemy.

If she set aside her family title and alchemy, she couldn't think of anything else she could say, but it was clear that the other party didn't want to talk about that either. After struggling for a while, she could only say dryly, "I am Charlotte Gottingen."

"...That's it?" Lu Mingfei waited for a long time but didn't hear anything more, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Mm." Charlotte nodded.

"Oh, then your first half of life was quite tragic," Lu Mingfei said, patting her shoulder suddenly with a strange certainty in his voice, as if he had imagined something. "But don't worry, after you follow me, your life will be so exciting that you'll question your existence."

Charlotte mentally ranted about how narcissistic this person could be, but her deeply ingrained aristocratic manners prevented her from rolling her eyes in public. She could only step aside expressionlessly and remain silent.

"And you, please introduce yourself." Lu Mingfei then turned his head to the girl who was always wearing a black veil.

The girl's fingertips gently touched the edge of the black veil covering her face, and she slowly removed the thin veil. As the veil slid off, a face that looked like it had stepped out of a Renaissance marble sculpture was fully revealed, with clean and delicate lines, even the curve of the jawline seemed to have been carefully polished.

Her skin was so white it was almost translucent with a cool, porcelain-like sheen. Her eyes were adorned with just the right amount of dark brown smoky eyeshadow, and her lips were a vintage burgundy—a bold makeup look that perfectly matched the aesthetic of old-school European aristocrats.

Her long, silvery-white hair, as pure as moonlight, cascaded down her shoulders and neck, the ends shimmering with a soft pearly luster. The only slight flaw was that her pupils were an unfathomable inky black; if they were crimson, she would definitely look like a Japanese special agent.

Although she looks to be only in her early twenties, with skin that still has the fresh texture unique to young people, her eyes reveal a maturity and coldness beyond her years. This contrast gives her a calm and unapproachable aura, like a seasoned ruler who, even under the body of a young and beautiful woman, still exudes an imposing majesty.

"Hello, Principal Lu Mingfei, I am Elizabeth Laurent. Since you are not interested in my family, I won't go into too much detail. My personal hobbies are painting and reading. Is there anything else you would like to know?" The girl's voice was calm and serene. After speaking, she nodded slightly, as if to greet Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei frowned after listening to the rather conventional self-introduction: "Why are all your self-introductions so boring? Can't you at least talk about your romantic history, how many suitors you've had, or whether you're still a virgin or something?"

Lu Mingfei's words silenced everyone present, and everyone gained a new understanding of the new principal's shameless methods.

"Wow, Senior Brother, you're really going all out! Is it okay to ask about a girl's private matters in public?" Xia Mi, who was standing behind holding a fill light, finally couldn't help but jump out and return to her assigned role as a leaf-shaped sitter.

Meanwhile, Su Enxi, standing to the side, covered her mouth, bent over, and trembled as she tried to suppress her laughter.

"What's wrong with that? I'm an absolute champion of gender equality!" Lu Mingfei patted his chest, looking righteous and awe-inspiring. "If they ask me these questions in return, I absolutely won't mind telling them everything."

"Oh? You're really that generous? Then how about we follow your rules and you introduce yourself to us first?" Xia Mi's eyes darted around, and she instantly came up with a prank idea, crossing her arms and secretly stirring things up from the side.

"Didn't I already say? I am Luo Mingfei, um, I am..."

"

"Stop, stop." Angers couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Lu Mingfei's lament. "Mingfei, these two girls have always been supporters of the principal's faction. For my sake, please don't make things difficult for them, okay?"

"No, I didn't make things difficult for them, so why are you all talking about me like I'm some kind of villain?" Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes, looking Xia Mi and Angers up and down with dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, I'll settle this score with you later. I should go wipe out my clan now, so I'd better not waste any more time."

With a casual wave of his hand, Charlotte and Elizabeth, who were standing a few steps away, instantly landed beside him. Before the two girls could react, Lu Mingfei put his arms around their slender waists.

The next second, he, along with the two girls, the four boys who had carried the sedan chair, and Xia Mi and Su Enxi who had held the lanterns, all vanished from the conference room, leaving the board members who were stunned by what had just happened.
