Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

Chapter Seventy-Two: Family in Trouble

Caesar, who was far away on his journey to a foreign land to slay a dragon, suddenly received a message.

He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and then silently put it down.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Xia Mi was engrossed in eating her mint-flavored ice cream, her eating manners somewhat reminiscent of Lu Mingfei, with a faint green stain on the tip of her nose.

Chen Motong also cast a glance at him; she rarely saw Caesar make such a face.

"nothing!"

The emotions in Caesar's eyes were somewhat unfathomable.

"An earthquake has struck Rome!"

He said.

"Holy crap!" Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, her slender fingers shaking the spoon. "If I remember correctly, Captain, you should be a nobleman from Rome, right? Could it be..." Caesar nodded.

"The entire family was almost wiped out, and the ground sank nearly fifteen meters in an instant. The losses are incalculable!"

His voice was faint, making it impossible to tell whether he was calm or sad.

Xia Mi didn't know what to say this time either. She lowered her head and continued to carefully scoop out her ice cream.

After a long pause, she said, "Hey, try to think positively. Captain, even if you had to beg on the road, you'd probably get more than others, considering how well-off you are!"

Chen Motong blinked, thinking to himself that Xia Mi really had a big heart.

"It hasn't come to that yet!"

Caesar glanced at Xia Mi. "The family business isn't just in Rome, but it's definitely been severely damaged. Uncle is in the hospital, his life hanging in the balance. And that guy... Pompey Gattuso has temporarily gone back to take over the affairs!"

Chen Motong blinked, seemingly gathering the right words in her mind.

Pompeii Gattuso was Caesar's father, a stallion-like man, the kind of scoundrel head of the family who always refused to do his job.

Even he was temporarily recalled, which shows how significant the impact of this matter was.

Total annihilation – a phrase that evokes sadness.

The two are currently at a point where they are discussing marriage, and it's impossible to predict what kind of impact this could have.

Caesar let out a deep breath, his tone unchanged.

"Family matters are handled by family members, but we only have one task!"

"Dragon slayer!"

He said.

He didn't have a harmonious relationship with his family, and this matter wasn't something he needed to worry about; it was just a necessary notification.

Moreover, those who achieve great things throughout history must possess the composure to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before them.

just.

The message from the family mentioned a noteworthy piece of information.

“Be careful… Elder…” he murmured the name.

Xia Mi's expression changed almost instantly.

She turned her head away, staring intently at the ice cream in her hand, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Sleibnir is rapidly descending through the clouds.

This Angers-owned car appears to be completely undamaged, without suffering any damage whatsoever.

The pilot was leisurely smoking and humming a song.

A missile just exploded next to the Sleibniz; he almost thought he was going to be wiped out.

However, it looks like it's being blocked by something.

The Sleibnier was in good condition and completely unaffected. Since it was still alive, it was fine to just go about its business. It wasn't like it hadn't experienced air combat at this distance before.

His task was simple: to get the VIPs in the cabin to their destination, nothing more.

The rest is none of his business.

But I can brag about it to Angers when I get back.

With a heavy hum, the private jet slowly descended, nearing the country's central city.

All the information is being conveyed to Zhou Lan through Angers.

The Dragon King's resurgence, the arrival of two teams, and the bounty on the Internet Hunter Market.

Angers shared everything without reservation.

The phone that Lu Mingfei added as a friend was a gift from Angers; in his words, it was a collaboration present.

To be honest, when Angers first learned that Zhou Lan didn't have a cell phone, he was quite shocked.

He guessed that the other party might really be an old-fashioned person, in the literal sense.

Six days have passed since we arrived at our destination.

During this period, apart from Chu Zihang who was completely absorbed in data, almost everyone else was leisurely playing around.

His relationship with Xia Mi grew better and better.

Although he is a cold and aloof man, Xia Mi is not an ordinary little girl.

Fingel, as always, was quirky and a foodie.

In another dragon-slaying team, Caesar's girlfriend, Chen Motong, is taking a break in the city. She always acts on a whim, including when she rescued Lu Mingfei from a tragic situation at the movie theater.

As an undercover junior sister, Xia Mi continued to get along well with Chu Zihang, and would occasionally come over to feed this sullen, unresponsive man who lived on carbonated drinks and fast food.

The family crisis did not seem to affect Caesar's mentality. It is undeniable that he is a good man and values ​​Chen Motong very much.

Even if the world were to end the next moment, it wouldn't affect his determination to marry this quirky, witch-like girl.

Lu Mingfei was chosen by Zhou Lan.

From the very first day he arrived, he stayed in an underground internet cafe, dominating his opponents in his specialty, StarCraft.

Everyone has their own comfort zone, where they can find meaning in their existence.

Until that night, a girl approached Lu Mingfei.

And so everything began to change quietly.

Even Lu Mingfei, who had faced the Dragon King and seen the vast world, often had to admit that he was indeed a loser.

He wandered through the subway station late at night, using his phone's flashlight to illuminate the only area he could reach.

Helping the girl he had a crush on in high school find her missing ex-boyfriend? What a pathetic premise! But not only did he confidently accept the task, he actually went to the subway station alone to do it.

Sometimes he really wondered if there was something wrong with his head.

However, when Chen Wenwen, the girl he had secretly loved for three years, reappeared in front of him wearing a white dress soaked through by the heavy rain.

He still can't learn to say no.

It's always like this: you promise something you shouldn't, then regret it soon afterward.

He felt incredibly frustrated.

The last place the other party disappeared was at the subway station.

"Zhao Menghua? The great scholar Zhao?" Lu Mingfei held up his phone and shone it on the dark tracks. "Stop fooling around outside, Chen Wenwen is worried sick about you!"

He spoke hesitantly, yet worried that something might suddenly leap out of the shadows at any moment.

Lu Mingfei sighed bitterly.

He has a very clear self-awareness; he's a conflicted person.

But what's the use of knowing what kind of person you are? It still doesn't change anything.

He was never stupid; he just overthought things and kept pushing himself into a deep abyss he couldn't control.

As you pass through the subway turnstiles, the scene before you subtly changes.

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the posters from the 1970s and 80s that were pasted on the wall and scattered on the floor.

It seems like I've taken the wrong path?

Chapter Seventy-Three: The King's Arrival Requires Witnesses

Regent Hotel.

This is where Chu Zihang's dragon-slaying team rests.

He was a bright science student who, from the moment he checked into the hotel, began collecting earthquake data about the city, hoping to use it to analyze the location where the Dragon King was about to resurrect.

And now, he has succeeded.

All the newly acquired data points to one location.

subway station.

He shouldered the black box containing the alchemical sword set and the Seven Deadly Sins, and headed towards his destination without hesitation.

Xia Mi invited him to her house for lunch at noon the next day.

The rain was pouring down. He opened his umbrella, thinking that he might still make it in time, provided he didn't die.

Chu Zihang wasn't afraid of death, but if he could, he would prefer to die on that rainy night on the overpass.

On the other side, in a luxurious hotel high-rise, a girl wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans was taking potato chips out of a bag while looking at her stunningly beautiful companion beside her.

"The boss has already disappeared, are you sure there's any point in us doing this?" "Of course, didn't you already send the data to Chu Zihang? Everything is going according to the boss's wishes, if that counts as his last wish!"

Mai Shude tied up her cascading black hair.

The image of that middle-aged man involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

The person who claimed to be an elder let her go in the ice cellar. Before leaving, he asked about their plans, saying that he was still useful, and that was probably now.

Perhaps this is also what the elders meant.

And what reason did they have not to do so, to complete the plan made by the boss before he disappeared, in detail?

"Seriously, why does everyone seem to be focusing their attention on that loser?"

Chip Girl Su Enxi munched on her chips nonchalantly, "It's like everyone wants something from him, but what's there to gain from that guy?" "The boss, Angers, and even this inexplicably appearing elder!"

She spread her hands, not understanding.

Mai Shude remained silent for a moment.

"A person worth betting on must have something worthwhile about them; no one can fathom the thoughts of big shots!"

She murmured, "But you're right about one thing, Chip Girl: everyone seems to want something from that loser Lu Mingfei!"

"Even that elder is no exception!"

"Get what? Hey, that guy could slap you away and cripple that Percy Gattuso, what else could Lu Mingfei possibly have that would make such a being covet him?" "Who knows? Anyway, our mission is just to be good spectators!"

Mai Shude pouted and looked at the computer screen.

This night was destined to be an extraordinary one.

Chen Motong had vanished almost without a trace in the city. Caesar tried to call her, but the phone was switched off.

He posted a bounty online, promising immediate reward to anyone who could find the girl driving the red Ferrari.

Ultimately, one lucky person received the reward.

What was sent to Caesar was a photo of a bright red Ferrari parked alone on the side of the road outside a subway line 1 station.

Caesar did not hesitate. Chen Motong was a girl who acted on impulse. It wasn't something she couldn't do if she suddenly wanted to try taking the subway after getting tired of driving.

But Caesar glanced at his watch.

At this time, all subway lines should have been shut down.

Without thinking twice, he chased after the subway.

Just as he had in mind, even if the world were to be destroyed in the next moment, he would still propose to the red-haired witch with romantic words and present her with his diamond ring.
