From Hokage to Visionary

"Yes, I have been following one of them." Jiude Mai nodded and said solemnly, "I can swear to you that the members of the secret society are very strong. The man I encountered has a bloodline of at least A level, and his word spirit is Setsuna. If it weren't for the help of my companions, I would have died long ago."

"Another mixed-blood."

Caesar gritted his teeth. He suddenly realized that the influence of the Secret Order was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Right under the noses of Cassel and the school board, there is such a behemoth entrenched in Europe. Even the Gattuso family is deeply involved in it. It is difficult for Caesar to imagine how many mixed-blood secret parties have joined this secret order without their knowledge!

Jiude Mai seemed to see through his thoughts and comforted him: "It's okay, you are not alone~"

"How much do you know about the secret order?" Caesar did not fall into despair, but quickly cheered up and asked.

"Not much. We only know that the secret society has been hiding for many years and has only recently emerged." Jiude Mai handed over the tablet and said, "This is the intelligence we have collected. We know very little about the secret society, but there is one thing we can be sure of. Do you want to hear it?"

Caesar took the tablet and examined it carefully. He found that it was just as she said. There was very little information and it could be scanned in a few glances. So he said, "Go ahead. I have nothing to lose now."

"One bad news, and one even worse news, which one do you want to hear first?" said Jiude Mai.

"Is there any difference between these two?" Caesar looked at the girl speechlessly.

"Okay, then I'll tell you one by one." Jiude Mai reorganized her expression and said slowly: "The bad news is that Pompey Gattuso is not dead. The worse news is that he is the 'bishop' in the secret order and is considered a leader."

".Sure enough, it's just as I guessed."

After hearing this, Caesar did not show the shock that one might imagine, but instead remained very calm.

His thoughts couldn't help but drift back to that day when he returned to the Gattuso family and met his father who was always wandering outside.

However, none of the imagined scenes appeared, and Pompey told him about the 'Secret Society'.

And he witnessed with his own eyes the "miracle", the mystery from the vast starry sky, and the terrifying fantasy that was enough to penetrate the spirit.

Then, he learned another more terrifying truth from Pompey, that is, Pompey will lead his family, using some kind of alchemical matrix, to summon the nameless ones sleeping at the bottom of the Eternal Lake to descend on this planet when the black star of Carcosa rises.

What happened next, as the Gattuso family claimed, was that he chopped off Pompey's head with a black knife and stole the crucial "notebook".

According to the contents of the 'notes', in order to summon the 'Nameless One' from the depths of the starry sky, one must use the correct ritual items and offer sacrifices at the correct time and place to complete the 'Ceremony of the Spirit'. If Caesar wants to destroy the ceremony, he must recite the expulsion spell at the right place and time.

And this is exactly why he had to go to the Pantheon in Rome with his notes.

"He let me go on purpose."

Caesar's eyes flashed with red-gold as he looked at the dark and surging sea and said calmly, "Everything makes sense now. His target is not just me. If I'm right, the protagonists you mentioned should be people I know, people from Kassel College, right?"

"An hour and a half ago, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, and Chen Motong arrived in Rome."

Jiude Mai said softly, "Obviously, Pompey has calculated this and is waiting for you to fall into his trap in the Pantheon."

"Walk into a trap? That's not necessarily true."

Caesar sneered, and a confident smile appeared on his resolute and perfect face: "Who am I? I am Caesar. Even if the situation is unfavorable, I can still turn the tables!"

Chapter 388 If you don’t believe it, take a step forward!

Frost arrived at the private airport early to greet Cassell's commissioner.

Amid the roar of the huge engine, Sleipnir seemed like a vehicle from the mythical era. Its wings cut through the rolling clouds, dragging white air currents visible to the naked eye, and it dived almost vertically towards the road paved on the ground. The wind pressure dropped from the sky like a waterfall.

Although all the Gattuso members present were considered elites of the secret party, when had they ever seen such a person flying a plane without caring about his life?

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, many people cursed the madman and wanted to escape, but Frost, the head of the family, frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet!"

In an instant, the master's majesty restored order to the crowd.

Although he was still frightened, he dared not disobey the orders of the patriarch. He could only stare with wide eyes and watch the steel behemoth swooping down.

With the amount of fuel Sleipnir can carry, if it dives to the ground at this speed and explodes, none of them will be able to escape!

Soon, when Sleipnir was about two or three hundred meters away from the ground, they could almost clearly see the scratches on the surface of the plane. Sleipnir suddenly raised his head, and adjusted the landing angle at the last moment in a posture that was almost completely beyond the human body's endurance limit.

The landing gear was extended and the tires rubbed against the ground at high speed, producing a series of violent sparks that were clearly visible in the dark.

The burnt smell came with the strong wind, and it finally stopped just when it was about to hit them.

"Mads! Everyone in Cassel is a bunch of madmen!"

Some people were so scared that they were sweating profusely. They could even see the pilot's gloating expression in the cabin.

He is indeed a madman. If there is even the slightest mistake in the plane's attitude during descent, the result will be the destruction of the plane and death of people on board. Hundreds of tons of gasoline will cause an explosion, and everyone in the airport will be buried with them!

As the cabin door opened, they finally saw the specialist sent by Cassel this time.

There were four people in total, two men and two women. The combination was reasonable, but the way they dressed made the Gattuso family feel a little strange.

Everyone has a mask on his face. From left to right, they are the masks of Tang Monk, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk, which exude a very efficient atmosphere. Coupled with the suits with well-fitting hems, no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit out of place.

A crack suddenly appeared on Frost's expressionless face.

The 'four-member pilgrim team' came down the gangway one by one, and then the leader, 'Tang Monk', came over and said calmly: "I am the person in charge of this operation, Lu Mingfei."

Then, he raised his hand and pointed at the other people in order and said, "They are my team members, Chu Zihang, Chen Motong, and Xia Mi."

"Welcome, I've heard of you."

Frost quickly recovered, took a deep breath, and asked, "But why do you all wear hoods?"

"Oh, it's just my personal interest. If you want, I have a few more here." Lu Mingfei said casually and fooled the man.

In fact, the real reason was Chu Zihang. With his almost dragon-like posture now, if he were exposed under the nose of Gattuso, the school director, God knows how much trouble he would get into.

So, they simply decided to all wear headgear while on the plane, regardless of whether it would work or not, as long as they could fool people.

"No, no, you keep it for yourselves." Frost's mouth twitched.

No wonder people say that the students in Kassel are not mentally normal. Now it seems that the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. How can the students be good if they follow that old rogue in Angers?

"Let's get back to the point. Where is Caesar?"

Lu Mingfei said calmly.

"Things are a bit complicated." Frost said seriously, "Caesar was assassinated by an unknown person at the Santa Lucia Port in Naples and fell into the sea and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Caesar is dead?" Chen Motong, who was wearing a Zhu Bajie headgear, couldn't help but ask.

"No, we think that man's purpose is not to kill Caesar, but to use the illusion of killing him to mislead our pursuit." Frost looked at the girl meaningfully, and then said his speculation in his mind: "And the most likely place for Caesar to go is Rome."

"What's the reason?"

Lu Mingfei asked: "How do you know that Caesar will definitely come to Rome?"

"I can't tell you the specific reason."

Frost shook his head and said, "But I can be sure that Caesar will come to Rome, and he will go to the Pantheon before twelve o'clock tomorrow night."

Can the time and place be so certain?

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly, half-closed his eyes, and looked at Frost carefully: "Is it related to the things he stole from the Gattuso family?"

"Yes."

Frost nodded.

"So according to you, we just need to guard the Pantheon before twelve o'clock tomorrow night and wait for Caesar to fall into the trap?" Lu Mingfei asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, but considering that Caesar has helpers, the arrest will be very dangerous." Frost waved to the side and said lightly: "As for tonight, I will arrange a hotel for you and discuss the arrest plan for tomorrow night, and try not to cause too much impact and loss."

"Thank you very much, President Frost."

Lu Mingfei looked at him and said meaningfully: "I'm really flattered that you're thinking about us so much."

"I have to be responsible for the students." Frost said calmly without blushing or beating his heart, "The car is ready. I'll have my men take the luggage. Let's go."

Several strong men in black suits, nearly two meters tall and with a sturdy temperament came over: "Mr. Lu Mingfei, leave the luggage to us."

As they were about to take the black box, however, no matter how hard the sturdy man tried, the black box seemed to be rooted and did not move at all.

Lu Mingfei held down the black box with one hand, glanced at them, and said calmly: "No need, I can get this myself."

Frost narrowed his eyes and stared at the black box. "Last time, when I reported to Kassel Academy, you got an alchemical weapon with a strange appearance. Is this the thing?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Lu Mingfei looked at him and asked.

"Just a little curious."

Frost's expression remained unchanged. He asked casually, "Can you tell me who gave you this thing? I'm very curious. I've never seen a weapon like this before."

"It's a gift from the Emperor." Lu Mingfei replied calmly, then he picked up the black box from the ground, put it on his back, and said to the others: "Let's go, it looks like there will be no problem tonight, have a good rest, there will be a big battle waiting for us tomorrow."

Chu Zihang, wearing a Monkey King mask and also carrying a box, walked past Frost.

"This thing is the 'Seven Deadly Sins' that was fished out from the Bronze City in the Bronze Project, right?" Frost raised his hand and stopped Chu Zihang who was about to leave, his eyes fixed on the metal box.

"Yes."

Chu Zihang's voice was low and hoarse, like a broken saw, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Although Frost was a little surprised, he didn't pay attention to his voice. Instead, he touched the metal box and said in a deep voice: "According to the secret party regulations, dangerous alchemical weapons like the Seven Deadly Sins need to be handed over to the school board. Didn't Ange tell you?"

As he was speaking, several strong men seemed to be surrounding him, as if they were going to pounce on him in the next second and take away the alchemical weapons that condensed Norton's hard work.

Bronze Purgatory·Seven Deadly Sins. It is too threatening, we must find a way to take it away!

Frost pondered inwardly, his face slightly condensed, and he said in a dignified tone: "Chu Zihang, bloodline assessment A+, the seven deadly sins are too dangerous to give to you, please hand them over now."

"I reject."

Chu Zihang's blazing golden eyes contained a chilling cruelty as he spoke coldly.

"you"

Frost looked angry and was about to make further threats.

boom!

A dull sound attracted everyone's attention.

However, Lu Mingfei had opened the sealed black box at some point, holding the sturdy and ferocious looking chainsaw sword with a diameter of 1.5 meters, and said to them in a calm tone: "Director Frost, I suggest you think it through before deciding what to do."

"Are you threatening me?"

Looking at Lu Mingfei's actions, Frost was both shocked and angry.

"No, it's a warning."

A sinister sneer appeared on Lu Mingfei's face.

In an instant, Frost and the Gattuso family could clearly feel the cold murderous intent spreading in the air, like a knife cutting through their skin.

Looking at the seemingly weak and humble boy again, his whole body exudes suffocating murderous intent, as if he were a warrior who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, stepping on piles of bones. They have no doubt that if they continue to be tough, the chainsaw sword will roar and cut off their heads in the next second!

"I suggest you listen to advice."

At this time, Xia Mi popped up and added: "Perhaps some of you are not familiar with him, but it doesn't matter. Please allow me to introduce him to you. This Lu Mingfei is an S-level hybrid from Kassel Academy. He once killed the Bronze and Fire Kings alone, and slaughtered hundreds of Deadpools by himself."

As soon as these words came out, the sound of inhaling suddenly rang out all around.

There were some members who were unwilling to accept the challenge and planned to challenge it, but they immediately gave up their thoughts.

"Now, is there anyone else planning to take action?"

Xia Mi looked at everyone with a smile and said, "If anyone doesn't believe it, you can come up and try. Just take a step forward. At worst, you just need to be more careful in your next life."

The few strong men closest to the scene tactfully took a step back and made way.

Frost took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and swept his cold eyes over the few people. He said coldly: "Well, you are worthy of being Angers' students, hum!"

He must report this matter in time. Chu Zihang carries the seven deadly sins. If they can be activated, it will definitely be a big trouble!

Chapter 389 Countdown to Return

'Zarathu' walked slowly, wearing a ragged and broken yellow robe, on the bustling streets of Florence.

But the strange thing is that such a strange dress did not attract anyone's attention, and the bustling crowd seemed to ignore him.

Suddenly, his figure shattered like a bubble and disappeared in the bustling street.

Taking a step forward, Zaratul seemed to have crossed space. Thick gray fog filled the air like a tide. The sky was dark and without light. There was nothing to be seen around. It was a strange scene like the void.

"Well, this feeling is Nibelungen?"

Zaratul was a little surprised. The feeling this space gave him was very similar to the Nibelungen Realm created by the Dragon King using alchemy.
