Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

"EVA, help me connect with the vice principal. Frost Gattuso has been confirmed dead, and Pompey Gattuso is temporarily out of contact. I, Caesar Gattuso, will convene a school board meeting as the temporary head of the Gattuso family and a temporary member of the wartime school board."

On the Shenhai Expressway, the Maybach, which looked like it had been thrown into a cutting machine and then went around and was back on the road, was casting its bright headlights towards the dark rain.

Mount Fuji, which erupted with a column of fire, also brought tens of thousands of tons of volcanic ash into the sky. The sulfide and carbon dioxide in the volcanic ash combined with the clouds in the sky and fell as black acid water.

This luxury car, which entered Nibelungen from Hefei and appeared in Tokyo, and which Chu Zihang said had taken him away from that hell, was speeding on the highway.

Everyone was fleeing Tokyo, and the traffic was gathering like a long glowing river. On the highway, only Caesar and his Maybach were rushing forward like a lone knight into the city that was being ravaged by the tsunami.

The accelerator was at the bottom, the tachometer was trembling and jumping in the red line zone, Caesar had his Dick Tudor and two Desert Eagles on his knees, and his pupils were floating with gold like will-o'-the-wisp.

He drove the Maybach like crazy, smashing the strong storm, and rushed to the final battlefield at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour against the long glowing river beside him.

"Sorry, Caesar Gattuso, your call has been rejected." A stiff and cold female voice came directly from the built-in speakers of Maybach. Caesar was stunned and frowned slightly. "Who are you? You are not EVA." He said coldly.

"I am Norma, EVA's surface personality. For unknown reasons, EVA has been permanently offline." The woman said coldly.

Caesar felt a slight chill in his heart.

Norma is the artificial intelligence that usually manages the school affairs of Kassel College. Caesar has a deep impression of this girl who can always serve as your strongest support.

She should never be such a rigid machine, but something with a soul like a human being.

Moreover, Caesar knew that there were only two people in the entire Kassel Academy who could take EVA offline from the inside, one was Principal Angers, and the other was the Night Watchman.

But neither Angers nor the vice-president would do such a stupid thing to destroy their own country, and they had no motivation to do so.

This means that the group of people have already started to take action. They have resources in their hands that are no less than those of the secret party, and the secrets they possess are enough to subvert the entire world.

Percy said they were the monarchs of the dark side, and Chu Zihang called those people...

Deadly enemy.

"According to the wartime regulations of the Blood Pact, my request is reasonable and compliant. What is your reason for rejecting it?"

There was a brief silence.

"Mr. Pompey Gattuso has been confirmed to be taking the CC1000 express train from Chicago Train Station to Cassell College. 15 minutes ago, Mr. Pompey has taken over all duties and obligations as a member of the Board of Directors." Norma said.

Caesar's fingers gripping the steering wheel trembled slightly.

Pompeii...

still alive?

No wonder, no wonder Percy took off his mask when leaving the Nibelung and reminded Caesar that their master would not give up. The evil spirits under the ice had been released, and they were like greedy hounds rushing towards the bloody battlefield from all directions.

——It’s really strange. It was clear that not long ago they were drawing their swords against each other, wishing to tear each other into pieces with their swords, but suddenly the two Odins guarding the Nibelungen, the attacking and defending aliens, began to fight each other.

In the end, one of the Odins chose to retreat, while the other Odin escorted Caesar into the Maybach parked on the side of the road and took the seriously injured Ange and Chu Zihang away from Nibelungen.

Before leaving, Caesar loaded a bullet with a scarlet crystal warhead into the magazine of the Desert Eagle in front of Odin. In the academy's system, that thing is called Burning Blood. It is a Philosopher's Stone crystal containing pure fire elements forged from the spiritual elements overflowing from the dragon bone cross of Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire.

Not only can it kill the Dragon King, it can also burn down an entire city. The pure and violent fire element will burn all combustible materials, creating an effect similar to that of the Candle Dragon.

Caesar pointed the gun at Odin, who had escorted them out, and stared into the bright red-gold dragon eyes.

He said I thought we would end up at war.

Odin on the back of the eight-legged Pegasus said nothing. After a long time, he took off his mask, revealing a handsome but somewhat hideous face.

He was a blond boy who used to be Frost's secretary, and was called Percy the Ultimate Weapon in the archives.

He lifted his hair, revealing a red-gold dragon eye and a cold ice-blue eye.

"I was born for you, sir," said Patsy.

Caesar looked at him coldly and asked Percy how much he knew.

Percy shook his head and said that pawns only needed to know how to wield a sword, they did not need to know the secrets of kings.

Percy also said that young master, you don’t know the real secret of the immortals. What the secret party stored in the ice cellar is only a small part of the huge base of hundreds of years of history. In order to deal with the inevitable end of fate, every family has prepared for this for a long time. They have their own armies, and the Gattuso family is no exception.

But Caesar looked around and saw no immortals. Those monsters that claimed to be able to fight against pure-blooded dragons on the dragon-slaying battlefield were not sent to the battlefield in Tokyo today by Pompeii or Frost, no matter who they were originally planned to fight against.

"Mr. Pompey told me that the world will be very different this year. Our family will go from being the regent of Europe to the true leader of the entire mixed-blood world. Eventually, we will all become kings of a country. And his allies will share this world." Percy said.

"I only know that they are dark monarchs lurking in the shadows of history, but I don't know who they are. However, all those who have disobeyed them have been ruthlessly strangled, and your friend is no exception... He may be able to escape once or twice, but Mr. Pompey's power is recovering, and one day fate will drown him like a torrent."

"I want to know why they killed Lu Mingfei."

"His presence has threatened the plans of those big guys."

"Not long ago, I ordered the six Swords of Scourge equipped with the Rhine effect to bombard Pompeii." Caesar said, "As far as I can remember, the last guy who took on the Rhine was a first-generation dragon named Li Wuyue. Menek Cassel hit him head-on with the Word Spirit Rhine, and since then, that dragon has completely disappeared from history."

"Maybe the young master can kill Mr. Pompey, and he might be very happy in that case." Percy said, "But once the plan starts, it will not stop. Ange and Chu Zihang were supposed to die in Nibelungen, but between Mr. Pompey and you, I chose you... Those immortals would not choose to betray the head of the family when facing Lu Mingfei."

——"I want to know how many resources of the academy I can still mobilize now?" Caesar asked in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pompey used the white card to modify your system permissions three minutes ago. From now on, you will no longer be able to mobilize any resources of the college, including remote communications." Norma said.

"Due to the adjustment of your authority level, this communication will end in three seconds. Three, two, one..."

Dense electrical noise came out from the built-in speaker, and Caesar bit the cigarette butt in his mouth hard.

EVA was offline, Angers was seriously injured and unable to move, and the Gattuso family, the most powerful dragon-slaying family in the world, had long been infiltrated by dragons. It was hard to imagine how powerful the so-called dark monarchs were. They might have long become the shadow society corresponding to Kassel College, just like the Eight Snake Families to the Japanese government. Since it has been confirmed that Pompey is indeed a monarch on a throne, Caesar can almost foresee that the school board will soon fall apart. Those who support Pompey will get wealth, power and the promise of entering a new era together, while those who oppose him will be expelled and eventually gradually leave the center of this political vortex.

Perhaps soon a wanted order for Lu Mingfei will be posted on the internal network of the academy, and Pompey will surely launch a new round of hearings against Lu Mingfei, but this time the hearing will be a trial with a predetermined outcome.

Relaxing the conditions for using forbidden techniques like Blood Rage was only a consensus reached secretly by the school board and the various dragon-slaying families since mid-to-late last year, and no one had announced this consensus out loud.

This means that the Abraham Bloodline Contract can still judge Lu Mingfei, and the dragon state he displayed in the battle is enough for those conservatives to send that guy to the dissection table.

"Hey, Pompey, you bastard." Caesar said softly, his voice was low but his expression was ferocious, his golden eyes were burning, anger and determination were written in his pupils,

"You are really not a qualified father. You don't understand what kind of person your son is at all..."

Caesar slapped the dashboard hard, and a red button popped out from under the dashboard immediately.

He pressed the button, concentrated nitrous oxide poured into the engine, and cold blue flames spurted out of the Maybach's tail pipe. This luxury car, which was already as fast as the wind blowing in the wilderness, accelerated again and turned into a white lightning on the dark highway.

Lu Mingfei, you idiot, don't die so easily...

Just wait for me, I'll be here to support you right away.

The Maybach was speeding at full speed, and black rain mixed with basalt gravel hit the front windshield with crackling sounds, while Caesar's own face was reflected in the glass.

There was no expression on that face, but anyone could tell that the man had made up his mind.

He is this kind of person, the kind of person who can give everything for justice.

He thought to Lu Mingfei, if everyone in the world is betraying you, you still have a good brother who can live and die with you, even if you are torn to pieces by the monsters under the ice in the end.

Thinking of this, Caesar was suddenly stunned. If it were Chu Zihang, he would do the same, right?

Even though you know there are thousands of troops ahead, even though you know you will die if you go, you still move forward courageously and recklessly, just to protect the back of your brother who has been betrayed by the whole world. Even if we die together, we will have no regrets in this life.

But you don’t have such good luck, Chu Zihang. I won this time. It’s not enough that I saved you, I also have to save Lu Mingfei.

No one gets in my way, I'll kill anyone who gets in my way.
-
"Brother, it's all my fault..." Constantine's expression was gloomy. There seemed to be tears in his eyes, and his face was full of self-blame and shame.

Lu Mingfei stumbled down from the sky, his huge dragon wings folded behind him and then slowly disappeared under his skin.

He looked around at the half-breeds standing on the deck or hiding in the restaurant with weapons in hand, his face expressionless.

Everyone was watching from afar, and everyone's face was filled with confusion and fear.

When the Yamata-no-Orochi, who brought infinite pressure to the world, was finally killed, Lu Mingfei and Eri, who had the ability to kill the Yamata-no-Orochi, became the biggest threats in their eyes, not to mention the girl following closely behind Lu Mingfei, who was so cute just now but now suddenly looked so majestic in a golden crown and gorgeous skirt.

Lu Mingfei raised his hand and Constantine closed his eyes tightly. But after waiting for a few seconds, the expected slap did not fall, but instead a big hand gently rubbed his hair.

"It's okay, you tried your best." Lu Mingfei said.

He pulled up Constantine's right arm and saw that the flesh was rolled up, as if it had been cut by dozens of blades.

The flesh on the wound was squirming, but it was not healing. Even with the Dragon King's recovery ability, it would take a very long time to repair itself.

That was obviously the damage caused by the concept of death, and Eri's trial had an effect on Constantine.

Eiry must have heard what Herzog said to Lu Mingfei in his triumphant mood: his only weakness.

He said that only the descendants of the White King in this world could threaten the cocoon formed by the Yamata no Orochi and himself through the Nibelung.

——Lu Mingfei is not the only one who is tortured by fate in this world.

Eri has never been willing to be at the mercy of fate, and she also knows that Lu Mingfei would have to pay a huge price to maintain that state.

But how could Eri be willing to let her knight get hurt? Even a timid kitten would bare its teeth at you in anger if its favorite toy was taken away. Besides, Eri is not a kitten and Lu Mingfei is not a toy.

She had waited for so many years, so much hesitation, so much fear, so many nightmares that she could not get rid of day and night, just to wait for the man to find her again. As long as he said to her, "Come with me," Eri would disregard everything and leave Genji Heavy Industries with him, and go to Hokkaido, to Umezuji-cho, and to every place they could think of.

Eri has always known that her life has long been on the countdown, so she cherishes this time very much.

Her knight found a way for her to survive, and she was very happy because she could stay with Lu Mingfei for a very long time.

But Herzog...

Why do you always take away the things we cherish from us? You really...

Aren't you afraid of death? !

——The little girl curled up in the corner with her back to Lu Mingfei. She hugged her knees and shivered, with her long red hair draped over her shoulders.

Lu Mingfei slowed down his steps and hugged the girl from behind. He felt the sharp scales under her long skirt, which could not be fully retracted, stand up and cut his flesh due to muscle contraction.

When Eri was embraced, her whole body trembled. She hugged herself tighter and sobbed softly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here..." Lu Mingfei said incoherently. He suddenly felt sad. He wondered how could this happen, how could this happen... He felt that the girl's ankles and wrists were covered with dense and fine scales. Her body temperature was frighteningly high, and even blisters formed on Lu Mingfei's hands when he exited the dragon transformation.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, we..."

Eiry suddenly raised her head, and Lu Mingfei's face was reflected in her devilishly bright golden eyes.

The girl's cheeks were also covered with scales, making her look as hideous as a female dragon. The tears from her eyes rolled down between the scales and were evaporated into white vapor by the high temperature.

She growled softly, as if she was afraid of appearing in front of Lu Mingfei like this, and buried her head between her knees in panic like a little animal. (End of this chapter)
