Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Chapter 98 Give Me the Phone

Before they knew it, it was noon. Nuonuo led the way, and Lu Mingfei, Ling, and she walked together to the cafeteria. Su Enxi and Jiu Demai originally wanted to go too, but after Ling gave them a cold look, the two of them immediately stopped and didn't dare to come any closer.

"By the way, Principal Angers has informed all the board members that an emergency board meeting will be held in three days. You'll be attending with me then, and remember to bring Caesar along too," Lu Mingfei said to Nuonuo on the way.

"I have no problem going with you, but why bring Caesar along?" Nono asked, puzzled.

"My intuition tells me that taking Caesar will definitely lure Odin out. Even if it only forces out one clone, it's still worth it. Let the farm tools devour a few more Odin clones, and we can directly pinpoint the location of Odin's main body, saving us the trouble of searching for it everywhere," Lu Mingfei explained.

"Farm tools?" Nono didn't react for a moment, then remembered, "Oh, it's the name of your husky. I feel a little uncomfortable with you giving Black King a name like that. By the way, where did you put it? Aren't you afraid it will run around and bite people?"

"Anything related to black is Brother Ni. As a noble slave owner, what else should I call it if not a farm tool? I had the school's public works department put it in a cage. We don't need it now, but when we deal with the Gattuso family, we can use it as a laborer," Lu Mingfei laughed.

Ling walked silently beside Lu Mingfei the whole time, not saying much. She would only respond softly when Lu Mingfei asked her a question, otherwise she would follow quietly.

The three chatted and laughed all the way to the cafeteria. Lu Mingfei deliberately kept quiet and his arrival did not cause any commotion, so few people noticed the arrival of the new principal. Occasionally, one or two people would notice, but they would just lower their heads and continue eating, pretending not to see him.

This was Lu Mingfei's first time officially dining at the Kassel cafeteria. To commemorate the occasion, he generously ordered every dish on the menu, both free and paid, leaving nothing out.

Just as Lu Mingfei and his two companions found a table and sat down to wait for their food, a shifty-eyed figure emerged from the cafeteria crowd and pounced on Lu Mingfei: "Master—no, no! Principal! Please save me! You are so compassionate, you can't just watch me be driven to my death by those heartless people, right!"

The newcomer was Fingel, who was crying his heart out with snot and tears streaming down his face. He was so heartbroken that he almost kowtowed to Lu Mingfei on the spot.

"Not bad acting, but don't do it again next time. You like to use eye drops to fake cry. Be careful, or I'll replace them with pepper spray and let you cry your fill," Lu Mingfei said, glancing at him.

"No, no, no! Principal, I was wrong. Please forgive my rudeness. I really have something important that I need your help with!" Fingel immediately admitted defeat.

"Speak your mind, or shut up!" Lu Mingfei said impatiently.

"Uh—that, Headmaster, you're so kind, could you—lend me some money?" Fingel asked tentatively, shrinking his neck.

Are you short of money?

When Lu Mingfei asked that question, his eyes looked strange, and Fingel felt a bad premonition rise in his heart, but at this point, he could only nod. Yesterday, he originally wanted to take advantage of his free time to make a fortune, but he ended up suffering the biggest Waterloo of his life. First, when he was betting on the outcome of the bets on the academy forum, he was punished by Su Enxi. Not only did he not make any money, but he also lost a lot of money.

Later, he tried to make a paid post based on the photos he took to barely break even. Then he tried to make another paid post based on the photos he took of Lu Mingfei, but Su Enxi spotted him again and deleted the post. The little money he had earned was returned to him without any change.

Now, all the members of the news department are green with envy, and Fingel is desperate to borrow money. However, his reputation for not repaying debts has spread throughout Kassel, and no one is willing to lend him any money.

After thinking it over, the only one who seemed to fit the bill was the new principal, Lu Mingfei. As the principal, he certainly wasn't short of money. What if he asked a couple of times and the principal softened and lent him the money? It was with this hope that he came here to wait.

"Headmaster, I'm desperately short of money! I've always treated those guys well, and now they're trying to kill me! They said if I don't pay back the money today, you won't see your most loyal student, Fingel, tomorrow!" Fingel started wailing again.

"Hey! Finger, don't talk nonsense! It's only right to pay back debts! Principal, we didn't force him, he made all that up!" A member of the news department ran over and hurriedly explained.

Lu Mingfei nodded and asked, "I see. How much money does he owe you?"

The news department staff reported the total amount of Fingel's debts.

Lu Mingfei smiled after hearing this and patted Fingel on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll pay the debt."

Fingel was overjoyed, but then Lu Mingfei continued, "Give me the phone."

Without a second thought, Fingel handed his phone to Lu Mingfei. After tapping and drawing on the screen for a while, Lu Mingfei returned the phone to Fingel. Fingel's eyes lit up the moment he saw the screen: "150,000! The principal is so generous!"

As he was about to bow ninety degrees to Lu Mingfei, Lu Mingfei grabbed his shoulder and said with a smile, "This is your reserve fund in Kassel Finance. You can withdraw it whenever you need money urgently. Don't let others laugh at you for not having money."

Fingel's initial joy froze instantly. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Looking closer at his phone screen, his face turned green: "Holy crap! Lu Mingfei! This is a P2P lending platform!"

Lu Mingfei patted him on the shoulder, completely unconcerned: "It's nothing, we're brothers. This is a student loan I just opened in Kassel, specially for people like you. Use it as you please, I'll give you the highest interest rate. See, I'm pretty good to you, buddy?"

"Fuck you..." Fingel originally wanted to curse, but seeing Lu Mingfei's face fall instantly, he immediately stopped himself, gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger: "Okay, that's great, thank you, Lu Mingfei."

"Huh? What did you call me?"

"—Principal Lu."

"That's more like it. Alright, didn't you say you wanted to pay back the money? Go ahead and use this money to pay it back." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, signaling Fingel to get lost.

Before Fingel could even take a step, seven or eight people from the news department suddenly jumped out from a corner of the cafeteria and surrounded him in the blink of an eye, all of them urging him to pay back the money.

Fingel tried to maintain his story, claiming he had no money, but the group had been watching him closely and weren't buying it. The leader reached out and tried to snatch his phone. Fingel dodged and weaved, barely managing to break free of the encirclement. He scrambled towards the cafeteria door, followed by a group of debt collectors.

Once they had run far away, the area around the dining table quieted down again, and the little farce ended abruptly.
