He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

"That's good." Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went into the room...

Watching the clumsy back of the kid, Mai's lips twitched slightly. "Potato Chip Girl, what do you think of this kid?"

"What do you mean, how is it?" The potato chip girl stuffed a handful of potato chips into her mouth, her voice a little muffled.

"You really win! This is the person the boss specifically asked us to protect. Can you tell there's anything special about him?"

"I can't tell." Chip Girl shook her head honestly. "Isn't he just an ordinary loser? His grades are bad, he has zero dating experience, and he can't even find a girlfriend..." Chip Girl rambled on, finally adding at the end.

"If I had to say what's special about him, it would be that he has a very big heart! He's very open to new things."

"What's so special about this place?" Mai rolled her eyes dramatically and muttered a complaint under her breath.

On the other side of the city, burly men from the school's administrative department were riding in a bulletproof BMW, protecting the "SS" grade box.

Their destination was the city's airport, where the staff of the university would board the president's Gulfstream "Stallion" to get to Kassel College as quickly as possible.

The passenger plane pilots flew it like fighter jets, and the "stallion" even broke the sound barrier at one point...

Finally, eight hours later, the passenger plane landed at Chicago International Airport.

The members of the school's administrative staff who boarded this "death flight" were all pale-faced and staggered as they disembarked from the plane. Taking this flight was an extreme test, both physically and mentally!

They also wanted to rest, but the situation was clearly very urgent.

------------

74 Schneider's Pirate Ship

Despite their physical discomfort, the burly men escorted the suitcase to the edge of the airport. This time, they didn't board the CC1000 train bound for Kassel College. Because of the importance attached to this mission, the professors on duty dispatched a helicopter to pick them up.

"Such a big operation?" The squad leader looked at the five helicopters painted bright red in front of him and swallowed hard.

These helicopters had clearly been modified by the Equipment Department; their speed was unbelievable! In less than half an hour, the helicopters landed on campus, and the box with the tin seal was delivered to Professor Schneider, the head of the Executive Department.

Library, central control room, inner chamber.

The three professors from the Kassel College stared at the tin-sealed box, exchanging silent glances.

After a suffocating silence, a cold glint flashed in Professor Schneider's leaden eyes. He pulled a folding knife from his wheelchair, and with a slight exertion of force, the tin seal on the box cracked.

Schneider's move really startled the other two professors!

Manstein: "Schneider, are you crazy? Your behavior is a serious violation of school rules and party regulations. Just wait for the Board of Trustees' punishment!"

Guderian: "Aaaaaah..."

“I’m perfectly sober now, and… Guderian, what are you yelling about?” Schneider glared at Guderian, then pulled a pair of disposable gloves from his pocket, put them on, and rummaged through the box.

Finally, his gaze settled on a certain document.

"Heh, those bastards on the board of directors really went all out! This is my precious student; no one can take him away from me before he makes a mistake..."

Schneider smirked, lit a match, and burned the document in his hand.

Seeing Schneider's actions, Manstein, who was standing next to him, had his pupils shrink to the size of pinpoints. He quickly got up and wanted to walk outside, but Schneider grabbed him.

Schneider's arms, usually hidden beneath his oversized coat, were extremely thin and frail, making him look like a withered centenarian! But the power they contained was monstrous.

For a time, Manstein was unable to break free from Schneider's control.

“Old friend, don’t rush off. Take a look at this and you’ll understand why I did this…” Schneider stared at Manstein and tossed him a document.

"Don't try to drag me down with you! I'm going to report you! Wait..."

Manstein suddenly fell silent. At the very top of the document was a photograph that he recognized very well.

It was a red-haired girl in a long dress, laughing carefree at the camera.

Chen Motong, the red-haired shrine maiden in the academy.

After a long silence, Manstein made the same choice as Schneider.

"So you really can't forget Nono's mother. What a devoted and extraordinary man!" Schneider chuckled in a low voice, as eerie as a crow in the night.

A few minutes later, Guderian also found documents about Lu Mingfei and Tang Yu in the box, and his choice was also to protect his student.

……

"Now, we're all on the same pirate ship! Let's celebrate getting on board!" A rare smile appeared in Schneider's usually stern eyes.

"Get on my sister's pirate ship! I didn't do anything today. We were just having a very normal routine meeting," Manstein corrected.

“Yes, that’s right! We didn’t open this box. If the board of directors insists on holding them accountable, let them go find the hunters who stole the box!” Guderian immediately understood his best friend’s meaning.

……

On the other side of the ocean, Chu Zihang, dressed in a hospital gown, woke up in an unfamiliar bed.

"Ugh...where am I?" He tried to get up to check his surroundings, but found he had no strength at all.

"Senior brother, you're finally awake!" A slightly surprised voice came from beside him, and then a pale face with dark circles under his eyes appeared in front of him.

"It's Mingfei!" Chu Zihang forced a smile. "Where are we now?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Mingfei's smile instantly froze.

"Oh no, how am I supposed to answer that?" Lu Mingfei roared inwardly. "I can't exactly tell my senior brother, 'You're currently lying in the home of the devil's henchmen!'"

Just as Lu Mingfei was pondering how to cover up the problem, Tang Yu, wrapped in bandages, slowly woke up on the other bed next to him.

As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, Tang Yu immediately put on the Pain Mask!

"Ouch...it hurts! What the hell?" Tang Yu struggled to sit up in bed, but his best friend Lu Mingfei pressed him back down.

"Ayu, the doctor said you are still very weak. Your health is the most important thing. You should lie down for a while longer."

"Did we escape?" Tang Yu asked somewhat belatedly.

"Of course!" Lu Mingfei nodded, his voice full of envy. "You and your senior brother are both so amazing, unlike me, I can only hide in the back and be protected by you..."

The three of them chatted in the ward for a long time until evening, when Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he hadn't been home for two days.

"You two get some rest, I'm leaving now, I'll come see you again tomorrow!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them, and then rushed out of the room at top speed.

After Lu Mingfei left, the room, which only contained the two of them, fell silent.

"How boring!" Tang Yu yawned, a tear welling up in the corner of his eye.

During the battle in Nibelungen, Tang Yu forcibly used the Blood Explosion Technique three times. Although the Blood Explosion Technique, known as the "Path to Godhood," was eventually stopped by Mai's alchemical potion, it still put a great strain on his body.

Tang Yu felt extremely tired, not only physically but also mentally!

A wave of weariness washed over Tang Yu, and his consciousness was gradually swallowed by an endless darkness. A dozen minutes later, Tang Yu's rhythmic snoring filled the room.

On another bed, Chu Zihang was closing his eyes, recalling everything that had happened that day.

"Father, did you see that? I didn't back down this time!" Lying on the hospital bed, Chu Zihang smiled silently.

He's in a pretty good mood right now!

Nine years later, he felt his father's presence once again... In the perilous Nibelungen, the dilapidated Maybach saved him once more.

"Father, I miss you!" Chu Zihang murmured softly before slowly closing his eyes.

At the same time, on the top floor of this "Potato Chip Studio".

A little boy dressed in a conservative little suit is standing in front of the office’s huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of bubbly, pale gold champagne in his hand.

------------

75. Target: Neon!

He faced the setting sun and gazed into the distance.

The setting sun cast a blood-red glow, and a tangible gold shone in the boy's eyes...

Click...

In this epic painting, a discordant sound suddenly arose.

The door behind the boy opened gently, and a tall, beautiful young woman walked in.

The boy did not turn around; he stood there majestically, like a king awaiting a report from his subjects.

Mai gently closed the door, quickly walked to the little boy's side, bowed and whispered, "Boss! Lu Mingfei has returned to his aunt's house, and the other two are still resting downstairs... Regarding Nibelungen near the overpass, I'm sorry, we still don't have much news!"

"Don't be discouraged." The little boy took a sip of the champagne in his hand, feeling the bubbles burst slightly in his mouth, and smiled.

He laboriously stepped onto the table, then reached out and ruffled his short, disheveled hair. "This isn't your fault! Nibelungen itself is difficult for us to observe, let alone the most mysterious Odin who lives there! Compared to the useless Nibelungen, I'm more concerned about news about the King of Bronze and Fire."

"Regarding the Lords of Bronze and Fire, we have roughly located their position. Should we take action and eliminate them?"

"No, not at all!" The little boy, referred to as the boss, snapped his fingers. "Our ultimate goal is to kill the Black King, and the four kings' hatred for the Black King... is absolutely no less than mine!"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If they don't hinder our plans, then we don't need to bother with them! Who knows, in the end, these powerful first-generation beings might give us some unexpected surprises?"

"I understand. By the way, boss, are you just here to visit them today?" Mai asked, somewhat puzzled. In her memory, the boss was a complete slacker who would never step out of his little apartment unless something extremely important happened!

"Yes and no!" The boss gave an ambiguous answer to Mai's question, as if he didn't want to discuss the matter further.

"Then I hope you have a pleasant stay here!" Mai bowed slightly, then disappeared into the darkness.

In the vast room, only the owner remained, gazing thoughtfully at the setting sun...

……

After three days of rest, they have almost fully recovered! Tang Yu is now in great shape and has a great appetite.

But for that pathetic guy Lu Mingfei, he was so sad that he lost his appetite and couldn't eat or drink...

Because this poor child's holiday had already ended before it even began.

It had only been a few days since the holiday started, and Norma was already calling him nonstop, urging Lu Mingfei to hurry back to the academy!

There wasn't any particular reason, it was just that the unlucky kid failed several subjects in the assessment exams, which was simply unacceptable for Kassel College, whose foundation is "education"!

So poor Lu Mingfei could only slink back to the academy, go back to study for the course again, and then take the retake exam.

However, his journey wasn't too lonely, because he had Chu Zihang, the expressionless man, to accompany him back to the academy.

News just came in this morning that Lancelot, the second-in-command of the Lionheart Society and known as a Knight of the Round Table, was injured by a bomb from the Equipment Department while on a mission.

The Lionheart Society is currently leaderless, so Chairman Chu Zihang must personally return to take charge.

Whatever the reason, their vacation is over!

On the morning before his departure, Tang Yu saw the two guys off at the airport. After watching them leave, Tang Yu suddenly felt a little empty.
