Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Warhammer Retirement

Chapter 248 No Music, No Dance

Lyon, the second largest metropolitan area in France, is also the center of industry, science and education.

The base of the Laurent family is also here, and the shadow of the Laurent family is behind many industries such as machinery, electronics, chemicals, heavy vehicles, and computers.

Compared with the flashy Paris, Lyon's urban style is more low-key and pragmatic.

But tonight, in front of the Château Shannon on Fourvière Hill, luxury cars and men and women in costumes flocked in an endless stream.

The headlights inside and outside the castle almost illuminated the entire sky, and the smell of perfume in the air could stun even bees.

The guests who come and go are celebrities and rich people from various European countries, and they are the kind who can be published in newspapers with any gesture.

But today they all came to this castle from all over the world, just because of an invitation from the Laurent family.

It wasn't until around nine o'clock in the evening that the guests basically arrived.

The spacious and bright hall was almost full of people.

The huge crystal chandeliers and light strips on the dome cast bright lights, which are reflected by the jewels and bright patterns on the guests, making them even more dazzling.

People take wine or drinks from the waiter's tray, sip and talk loudly.

Some nimble gentlemen or socialites wandered around, and a few words could arouse laughter, and the hall was full of joyful atmosphere.

Adolphe Laurent stood in the shadow of the second floor, quietly looking down at everything below, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

In his eyes, these people are not real people, but chips that are classified and marked, and he is the big banker who holds these chips.

No one doesn't like being a banker, because only being a banker can you always win.

Time to enjoy the fun of dealing the cards.

Adolf stepped out of the shadows and rang the bronze bell in his hand.

This bell is exactly the same as the one on the principal's office door, which was originally given to Angers by Elizabeth.

The crisp bells pierced through all the noise and penetrated into the ears of the guests.

They stopped talking and looked upstairs in silence.

In the eyes of everyone, Adolf walked along the corridor to the middle of the stairs on the second floor.

Facing countless pairs of eyes, he first bowed slightly, which attracted everyone to return the salute quickly.

No one dares to show their unruliness, because they all know that a lion is the most fierce when it is about to become the lion king.

Anyone who dared to challenge his majesty would be mercilessly torn to pieces.

"Welcome everyone to this dinner. The arrival of all gentlemen and ladies will make the Laurent family flourish."

Adolf's attitude is very humble, and people can't help but feel good about him.

"I hope everyone will have a good time tonight, and the first show is what we are familiar with. Please close your eyes when it gets dark."

As his words fell, the castle hall, which was as bright as day, was instantly darkened.

Then came pairs of golden lights, either as bright as stars, or as weak as lights.

And the brightest ones are the four lamps in the center of the hall, as bright as a bright moon in the sky.

All lights are attracted to them like moths to a flame.

As we all know, the brightness and color of golden pupils are often directly proportional to the bloodline level, and such pure pupils, how noble the bloodlines of their owners should be.

Everyone was curious until the lights were turned on again to see clearly that there were not two people standing in the middle of the hall, but three people.

Two men and women with bright golden pupils stood behind a young man of unusually tall stature, but the young man's eyes were normal black.

But all those who met those black pupils would subconsciously lower their heads or look away, as if they would be stabbed by the sharp rays inside if they looked more often.

"who are they?"

The hearts of the guests are full of meaning.

The mixed race is widely distributed, but the circle is not large.

Especially in families with relatively high bloodlines, almost everyone is acquaintances, let alone at the dinner party of the Laurent family.

Then there is only one possibility, these three people are uninvited guests.

There is a good show tonight.

This thought flashed through everyone's minds, but their attitudes afterwards were either happy or sad.

"It seems that three more distinguished guests have come to Shangen Castle tonight, but I don't know which family they come from?"

asked Adolf in French.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't understand, he could probably deduce what he meant from his expression and tone of voice.

"You hung up on me, you should know who I am."

Lu Mingfei said.

"So it's Lu Mingfei's student."

Adolf suddenly realized that the language had been changed to Mandarin.

"Let me introduce to everyone, this is the only S-level freshman in Kassel, the successor of the dragon slayer 'Ange', Lu Mingfei's student."

He seemed to be praising Lu Mingfei to everyone, but the accent fell on the words "new student" and "student".

However, this still aroused the exclamation of the guests, and their gazes towards the three became even hotter.

The S-grade hybrids are enough for anyone to pay attention to, and the A-grade hybrids are only a handful of guests present.

As for the S-class, even the Laurent family themselves have not passed it for centuries.

Adolf walked down the stairs step by step, like the emperor descending the clouds.

He walked up to Lu Mingfei and stretched out his hand towards Lu Mingfei, like an emperor expressing his favor to a courtier he admired.

"Welcome, student Lu Mingfei, tonight's Shangen Castle is even more shining because of you."

Lu Mingfei looked at his hand. With a mixed-race physique and super-standard maintenance, he is the same as a young man in his early twenties in middle age.

"I stopped shaking my hands. My hands were covered in blood, and I haven't had time to wash them yet."

he said lightly.

Only then did everyone notice that Lu Mingfei's hands were dripping blood continuously, staining the precious Persian carpet with patches of blood.

Adolf's face changed, these three people broke in without invitation, could it be?

"It's not your people. On the way here, I ran into a few robbing Ukrainians, and I was on my way, so I didn't have time to spare their lives."

Lu Mingfei explained.

After the bodies of those robbers were finally found, the forensic doctor who dissected them would probably be busy for a long time.

"The next time I have dinner with the mayor of Lyon, I will ask him to strengthen security patrols in the city."

Adolf smiled reluctantly.

"It's enough to behead some criminals who show up properly, and don't kill them wantonly, that will only make the evil tumor grow underground."

Lu Mingfei kindly reminded.

This is his suggestion based on the experience of the lower hive and the experience of the traitor Primarch Kondra Curze.

"I'll pass your suggestion back to him."

Adolf was polite.

Although the guests present could hear the perfunctory in his tone.

"Mr. Lu came to Shangen Castle to attend the dinner party?"

In order to prevent Lu Mingfei from continuing to discuss some embarrassing things, Adolf took the initiative to lead the topic.

"I have an appointment with Elisabeth Laurent, and I'm here to make an appointment with her."

Lu Mingfei said.

"What a coincidence, Elizabeth is not at Shankon Castle, and her current state is not suitable for meeting outsiders."

Adolf said with a sigh.

"I know."

Lu Mingfei frowned, the court music played by the band made his five sensitive senses uncomfortable.

"Quiet."

He stabbed the ground with a long sword with a sheath, and the marble floor cracked with his hand, and the cracks extended radially to the surroundings.

The sound of musical instruments stopped abruptly, and the hall was instantly quiet.

"Then, I accepted the principal Angers' request to investigate the whereabouts of the school manager Elizabeth Laurent."

Lu Mingfei looked around in disdain.

"Now tell me, where is she?"
