Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 213 Are you questioning my connections?

Early morning, Kassel College, central control room.

"Norma, help me check whether Gu Ye's flight has landed." Manstein paced back and forth anxiously, and finally couldn't help but give Norma an order.

"According to the search, Gu Ye's flight arrived at its destination one hour ago." Norma's voice echoed in the control room.

"That's great. There won't be any problem if Gu Ye is here." Manstein breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he saw Guderian who was on the phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Call Mingfei. Since Gu Ye is here, it's better to give the command to him." Guderian replied. As Lu Mingfei's mentor, he naturally understood who was the key figure in this mission.

Although Lu Mingfei has proven his S-level ability, he is still a little behind the battle-hardened Gu Ye. Guderian does not want his favorite student to make any mistakes in the mission.

Even if it was just a suspicion that the Dragon King had appeared, he didn't dare to gamble. It was better to be safe. This was a precious experience he had gained after living for so long.

The Panamera was speeding on the road. Lu Mingfei looked at Gu Ye who was sitting in the passenger seat as if nothing had happened, and he felt a little nervous.

Birthdays may be of great significance to many people, but in Lu Mingfei's opinion, the so-called birthday is no different from other days, they are just repeated day after day.

Before he met Gu Ye, Lu Mingfei had never celebrated his birthday seriously. It was impossible for him to celebrate in a hotel like his cousin.

Even his parents would only send him blessings occasionally. As for friends? What friends do you expect a loser to have? Lu Mingfei was even very afraid of being discovered on his birthday. Because if he did, he would have no money to invite his classmates to play. If Gu Ye hadn't remembered it all these years, Lu Mingfei would have forgotten this day long ago.

But this time is different. Strictly speaking, this should be my first time to carry out a mission. Is it really okay to just run out and have fun without caring about anything when carrying out a mission for the first time?
Lu Mingfei had the urge to ask Gu Ye what he was thinking and whether he should take the school task seriously, but when he thought that it was for his own sake, Lu Mingfei could not open his mouth.

Lu Mingze, Lu Mingze, you always think that I will regret it, but in this world, besides Gu Ye, who else would treat a little bad boy’s birthday so grandly?

A crisp cell phone ringtone broke the quiet atmosphere in the car. Lu Mingfei came to his senses and pressed the answer button in panic. Guderian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mingfei, happy birthday to you."

"Thank you, Teacher Guderian." Lu Mingfei thanked him subconsciously, and at the same time, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Mingming was an unknown little character before, but since he joined Kassel, everything seems to have changed, and more and more people are paying attention to him. But this feeling... Lu Mingfei doesn't hate it.

"There is one more thing. You should have received a call from Gu Ye, right?" Guderian spoke again.

"Yes, Brother Gu and I are preparing to return to the city now." Lu Mingfei said.

"Very good, it's like this... Although the teacher thinks you are very capable, I still hope you can hand over the command to Gu Ye for this mission. Of course... It's not because I don't trust you, it's just..."

"I understand, Mr. Guderian. This is what I thought after receiving the mission. You don't need to explain."

"I'm glad you understand..." Guderian breathed a sigh of relief, then asked out of curiosity.

"Are you guys preparing to rush to the mission site to investigate?"

"Well..." Very good, the thing I was most worried about finally happened. How could I explain this to myself? Lu Mingfei was in a dilemma.

Swish! The next moment, Gu Ye's big hand stretched from the passenger seat to the back seat and snatched Lu Mingfei's phone. After turning on the hands-free function, Gu Ye spoke into the phone.

"Professor, today is Lu Mingfei's birthday. I want to celebrate his birthday first before considering other things, so... please wait for a while." After saying this, Gu Ye hung up the phone.

On the other side, Guderian and Manstein looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected that Gu Ye, who had always been very reliable in his missions, would actually say such negative and sabotaging words.

"Schneider, this is your student? He actually ignores the tasks issued by the board of directors. I think it's time for him to learn the school rules and regulations again." As the chairman of the discipline committee, Manstein found it difficult to bear the students' indifference to discipline.

"I think he must have other reasons, right? That kid is not a playboy like Caesar." Schneider answered with a frown, and at the same time dialed Gu Ye's number, but heard a busy tone. It was obvious... Gu Ye turned off his phone.

"I'd better call Principal Angers and report to him." Manstein frowned and dialed Angers' number.

After a moment, Guderian looked at Manstein, whose expression was a little subtle, and couldn't help asking, "How is it? What did Principal Ange say?"

"The principal told us not to worry about it, Gu Ye will complete the task..." Manstein took a deep breath, he vaguely sensed something from Angers nonchalant tone just now.

Did the principal allow Gu Ye to do this because he had a conflict with the school board? Or... was this part of the plan?

"Is that so?" As smart people, the other two professors obviously understood the meaning of this.

The game between the two top leaders is no longer something that professors like them can participate in. Since Ange has already spoken, they might as well do as he tells them.

As for the Board of Directors? Sorry... they really have no say in Kassel College. If it weren't for President Angers' instructions to give priority to fulfilling the requirements of the Board of Directors, perhaps the professors would not care about these politicians at all.

"I just hope Gu Ye won't get into trouble because of this..." Schneider sighed, and Guderian on the side patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Principal Ange has spoken, Gu Ye should be fine."

"I hope so..."

"We're in the city now." The Panamera gradually slowed down, and Chu Zihang spoke to Gu Ye while holding the steering wheel.

"Have you decided where to celebrate Lu Mingfei's birthday?"

"Let me think about it..." Gu Ye picked up Lu Mingfei's phone and started searching. After a while, he handed the phone to Lu Mingfei. "This should be the only restaurant in the city that has the most reputation, right? Aspasia Restaurant... I wonder how the food in this restaurant tastes."

"This is an Italian restaurant. I've been there and it tastes pretty good." Chu Zihang spoke at the right time. As the richest boy in Shilan Middle School, he had basically visited all the high-end restaurants in the city.

"The ingredients in this restaurant are basically cheese, pizza, fried chicken, steak, macaroni and so on. They pay attention to the original flavor and like to use olive oil, black olives, dry white cheese, tomatoes, spices and Marsala wine for seasoning. Their air-dried meat and sausage are very good."

"It sounds okay. I don't think I've ever eaten Italian food. How about this one?" Gu Ye turned his head and asked Lu Mingfei for his opinion.

“This… isn’t a good idea, is it? Isn’t it a bit too extravagant?” Lu Mingfei showed a hint of hesitation on his face. Is it really worth spending so much money on himself?
"Birthdays are meant to be celebrated. You call me Brother Gu, so I have to act like a big brother, right? Let's go to this restaurant. My mom's birthday is coming soon anyway, so you can scout the area first. If the food is delicious, I'll bring my mom here as well." Gu Ye said.

"Okay, I have no objection..." Lu Mingfei could only nod, and at the same time silently made up his mind to give Aunt Gu a big gift on her birthday, so as to repay Gu Ye's kindness.

"Then I'll reserve it..." Chu Zihang nodded and connected the car's Bluetooth.

"Aspasia Restaurant? I'd like to reserve a private room for tonight..."

"I'm sorry, sir, but someone else has reserved the place tonight." The female manager spoke in a gentle but firm voice.

"Booking the whole place?" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise on his face. This isn't the peak season for restaurants, so why would someone be so unscrupulous as to book the whole place?

"That's perfect. Why don't we go to another restaurant? I think the fried skewers at the entrance of our community are pretty good." Lu Mingfei said with a smile. It would be a good idea to book the whole place. It would save money for Gu Ye.

"Are you questioning my connections?" Gu Ye looked at Lu Mingfei, turned on his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Caesar... do you know Aspasia restaurant?"

"Yes, it's the Italian restaurant. Today is Lu Mingfei's birthday. We need three seats. Okay, thanks..."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ye looked at Chu Zihang who was still communicating. Less than ten seconds later, there was a busy tone from the car's Bluetooth, and the call was resumed after a while.

As soon as the call was restored, Gu Ye said to the female manager on the other end: "There is a seat now, right?"

"I'm very sorry about what happened just now. Aspasia restaurant will now serve you and your friends all day long. You can come anytime... Also, Mr. Caesar asked me to bring a message to Mr. Lu Mingfei. Happy birthday today." The female manager suddenly changed her tone, and even her voice became light and gentle.

"This..." Lu Mingfei was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Ye could make the female manager change her mind with just one phone call.

"This is the power of money, Mingfei..." Gu Ye said with a smile.

"Although I don't have any, my friends basically have the ability to spend money. Next, we will go pick them up and then have dinner."

"Pick someone up? Who?" Lu Mingfei asked puzzledly.

"An...old friend." Gu Ye replied.

Rome, Italy.

Frost Gattuso sat in the sunshine behind his desk. As the de facto head of the Gattuso family, he sat here almost every day, managing the family's hundreds of thousands of employees around the world without leaving his home.

On this "desk of power" is currently placed a photo of Gu Ye getting off the plane. In the photo, Lu Mingfei is following behind Gu Ye obediently, and on the other side of Gu Ye is Chu Zihang.

"I really didn't expect that, although they are both S-level, the guy named Lu Mingfei would actually be willing to be Gu Ye's younger brother." Frost took a look at the photo, raised his head and spoke to Percy in front of him.

"Are they starting the mission now?"

"No, Gu Ye returned to the city center with Lu Mingfei as soon as he got off the plane. He seemed to have completely forgotten about the mission." Percy bowed slightly, his light golden hair hanging down to cover half of his face.

"What is he going to do? Is he expressing his dissatisfaction with the school board? Call Angers! Ask him to urge Gu Ye!" Frost said.

"Wait... maybe this is our chance, a chance to impeach Ange."

Just as Percy was about to leave, Frost seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke to stop him.

Wouldn't it be better if Gu Ye failed to complete the task? In this case, Caesar would definitely be the candidate for the plan.

"But we spent a huge amount of money to get that information from a mixed-race family in China," Percy said.

"..." Frost frowned. This was also a problem. Gu Ye could just give up and ignore it, but... Gattuso's family couldn't do that.

After paying such a huge price, if the data is lost, then it would be a waste of time and it would probably slow down the progress of the Nibelungen Project.

"Let's do this. Let the family members look for clues and get the information back before Gu Ye does!" After thinking for a moment, Frost gave the order.

Since Gu Ye won't do it, let Gattuso's elites come. It's just a matter of taking back a document. How difficult can it be?
As long as the documents are returned, there will be no dispute about Angers' resignation.

"Yes!" Percy nodded and left the office.

"Gu Ye, and Angers... your arrogance is doomed to failure." Frost showed a happy smile on his face.

After all, he is still a child. He actually started to act willfully in an important task. So... I will not let go of this great opportunity to fight back.
