Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 404 Avenger Rune One-Click Matching, Assassins, Take Your Positions
"How did you end up with the key?!"

Upon receiving the news, Nuonuo immediately made a phone call, her tone sounding like a family member questioning the kidnappers about why they had abducted a hostage.

"I picked this up." Lu Mingfei was driving with both hands on the wheel, so Erii had to hold his phone for him. He spoke on speakerphone:
"I just passed by a big house and saw some ruthless thugs breaking in and robbing it. I arrived a little late, but I only managed to rescue this little guy from them. Do you know him?"

Hearing this outrageous statement, Nono rolled her eyes so hard they almost disappeared. Remembering how this person had just fixed the key to the hood and hadn't even fastened their seatbelt, she couldn't help but speak up:
Where are you now? I'm coming right away.

After all, he was her only acknowledged younger brother, and he was so small. Although his bloodline was strong, he was still no match for Lu Mingfei, that freak. Nono was really afraid that the key would be broken by some reckless guy.

"Don't rush, there are two more who need to meet you later." Lu Mingfei calculated the time; those two clueless guys he met at the restaurant earlier would be arriving at the research institute soon, and he needed Chen Motong to help receive them.
"Don't worry, I have a lot of experience taking care of children. You can absolutely trust me with the keys."

He hung up the phone without giving Nuonuo time to react.

He stared at his phone, which was right next to his key. He thought he had just heard his sister's voice coming from the dark metal plate, but he wasn't sure.

Just then, Erii peeked out from behind Lu Mingfei's shoulder, stuck out her tongue at him, and made a cute face.

In an instant, the little doubt in Little Key's heart was thrown to the back of her mind, and she laughed babblingly, still holding onto Lu Mingfei's clothes.

"Smart, I was just about to let you hold on tight." Lu Mingfei was about to take off when he saw that the key had so obediently held on, so he tightened his grip on Erii's arm that was wrapped around his waist, and laughed loudly:

"Let's go shopping for clothes!"

He pressed the bicycle bell, pushed off hard with his foot, and the bicycle carrying the three people instantly disappeared into the shadows.

Immediately, a whooshing sound rang out, and a gray shadow, barely visible to the naked eye, shot straight into the sky.

Key sat steadily in the baby seat on the front of the car, not frightened by the sudden feeling of weightlessness and the rapid increase in altitude. Instead, he opened his eyes wide, gripped Lu Mingfei's black clothes tightly, and looked down intently at the city he had lived in for many years but had never really looked at closely.

Erii followed Lu Mingfei around, getting used to flying, diving, and speeding across the sea. However, she was still attracted by the beauty of this ancient city. It turned out that her grandmother had grown up here and then left to go to the place where she and her brother lived in her dream.

Unseen flying cars and aerial acrobats swept across the sky above Chang'an Avenue without attracting anyone's attention. Only a flat-chested girl who had just come out of the movie theater noticed something amiss and looked up at the fleeting, extremely thin gray mist.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang followed Xia Mi's gaze but saw nothing.

"Nothing, I was just wondering when the principal will land." Xia Mi didn't mention what had just flown past, and turned away, walking forward with her hands behind her back.

After dropping Friedrich off in Nibelungen that morning, they heard that Angers would be transferring in Seoul and heading straight to Beijing, and wouldn't be there anytime soon.

So the two of them decided to have a meal and then watch a movie.

Originally, Chu Zihang wanted to watch "The Lost Continent" instead of "Terminator Salvation," but Xia Mi herself is a dragon, so what's the point of watching dinosaurs? She directly dragged him to watch the battle between humans and robots.

After watching the movie, there was still plenty of time to kill. After Professor Mans and his group arrived this morning, they went straight to the Kassel College branch base. They didn't seem to have any intention of recruiting any outstanding mixed-race students to search for and slay the dragon. So the two of them simply went to the supermarket to wander around.

Yesterday, most of the snacks Lu Mingfei bought ended up in Fenrir's mouth, and Xia Mi didn't eat much. Now that she doesn't have to worry about her brother anymore, she can live more freely and treat herself to some good food and drinks... no, she should treat Chu Zihang.

Strictly speaking, it was thanks to Chu Zihang that Fenrir was spared the death penalty and given the opportunity to overcome his innate defects.

After browsing for a short while, she pulled Chu Zihang into the clothing section, intending to follow Lu Mingfei and Erii's example and buy a few matching outfits to show off their status.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a crowd gathered in front of a baby and toddler specialty store, and I sensed a familiar atmosphere.

Chu Zihang was tall and had long legs. He saw a man and a woman dressed in ancient costumes wandering around the store in the crowd. The man had a familiar back of his head, and the woman had long, rosy-red hair.

Noticing the gaze from behind, Lu Mingfei turned around and smiled and nodded at Chu Zihang.

"What's making you so happy? Did you find a treasure?" Xia Mi muttered softly, preparing to join in the fun.

Chu Zihang took the lead, parting the crowd of onlookers. When he got closer, he found Erii picking out cute little hats in front of the shelf, while Lu Mingfei was holding a baby in one arm on a shelf full of diapers, asking him one by one what brand he liked.

Xia Mi raised an eyebrow and subconsciously sensed the baby, discovering that it was a mixed-race child with extremely high bloodline. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you get such a purebred child?"

"What are you saying?" Lu Mingfei, carrying a bag of diapers, also struck a husky-pointing pose. "This is Chen Motong's younger brother. She asked me to help pick him up from kindergarten and take care of him while I'm at it."

Is this little rascal even a year old yet, and he's already going to kindergarten?
Because of the paparazzi Fingel, Chu Zihang knew that Nuonuo had a younger brother who never grew up. Seeing the little guy lying quietly in Lu Mingfei's arms, staring at the two handsome older brothers and sisters with his big eyes full of curiosity.

Chu Zihang, expressionless and like an iceberg, also had a chilling gaze. Yao Ji instinctively felt a little uneasy and shifted his gaze to Xia Mi.

As a result, when she tilted her head, she saw this round-faced, flat-chested young lady suddenly clench her hands into claws, lunge forward, and let out a strange cry: "Rua!"

To outsiders, this scene appeared to be a cute girl making a funny breath, but to the baby involved, it was nothing short of a dragon's roar, which terrified the child and made him cry.

Faced with the intimidation of the super-evolved Dragon King, Key didn't dare to cry out. He huddled in Lu Mingfei's arms, shedding small pearls, his body trembling violently.

"Sigh, how come they're so easily scared?" Xia Mi frowned slightly. She used to tease the kids in the neighborhood like this when she had nothing to do, but they were never scared. Instead, they would say that Xia Mi was really pretty and not scary at all.

Is this the difference between human babies and hybrid babies?

Or is it that my majesty is already overflowing, and I am imposing without even being angry?
"Tsk, all you do is bully kids. You're the one who punched the old folks at Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked the kindergarten in Beihai."

Lu Mingfei glanced at her with disdain, then raised his finger and poked Key's chubby cheek. An invisible force quietly soothed the child's frightened emotions and stopped her crying. However, her big eyes were still misty, making one want to tease her a little more.

Erii spent a long time choosing before finally picking out an adorable tiger-head hat. She put it on Key's teary-eyed face, raising the level of cuteness to another notch.

"What's this child's name?" Xia Mi raised her hand to pinch the baby-faced boy's cheeks, which were just like her own, but then stopped and turned around to glance at the onlookers: "What are you looking at? Don't stop them from doing business."

A flash of golden light appeared in his eyes and disappeared in an instant, and the onlookers scattered like birds and beasts.

“Chen Motong said that no one in her family treats this child like a normal baby, she doesn’t even have a name.” Lu Mingfei shrugged. “You’ve come at the right time, would you like to experience what it’s like to take care of a baby?”

Consider it a pre-wedding rehearsal.

As he spoke, he tentatively offered the key, still somewhat hesitantly in his pocket. Xia Mi reached out to take it, but the key grabbed Erii's sleeve and wouldn't let go, making incessant "hehehe" noises. "Oh, still a little kid like you," Xia Mi remarked, seeing his resistance, and decided not to tease the child any longer. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, you're planning to go head-to-head with the Chen family?"

"What are you talking about? I'm such a peace lover." Lu Mingfei denied it. "I've already said that I was just helping Chen Motong pick up her brother. She's the mastermind behind it all."

No one would believe this attempt to shift the blame, but Xia Mi and Chu Zihang didn't press the matter. If a real conflict were to break out, Lu Mingfei wouldn't be leisurely browsing a baby store right now; he would probably have already stormed into the Chen family's headquarters, debating whether to behead them or annihilate them all.

As for whether his forced entry into the Chen family manor and taking the key would alert the enemy... in fact, the enemy had already been alerted from the moment Nuonuo returned to China and joined Lu Mingfei's group.

Why not lure them out and see just how many secrets the Chen family is hiding?

Just as the four of them were wandering around shopping with the little key, in the research institute, Nono looked at her two younger siblings, who were bound in straitjackets and lying on the hospital bed with wide eyes, and her eyes were slightly complicated.

She also had conflicts with these two, but they weren't as troublesome as the four idiots who blocked her at the airport yesterday. They were the kind of morons who could be easily dealt with with a little thought.

No one knows how they got on the bad side of Lu Mingfei. According to several burly men disguised as caregivers, when they were brought to the scene, the two had been in the river for more than an hour. In the end, it was only by the restaurant staff that they were dragged ashore.

Just imagining the scene, Nuonuo could guess how much face they would lose and what kind of punishment they would receive when they returned to the Chen family.

At worst, they would be banished from the capital and banished far away, out of sight, out of mind.

After briefly explaining the two people's information and recording it, she looked at the icy beauty who remained silent not far away.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back now." She was still worried about the keys.

In the Chen family, even if they are not treated as human beings, the key is a precious tool, and everyone treats it with great care.

But it's hard to say what will happen once it falls into Lu Mingfei's hands.

He nodded at midnight.

Seeing this, Caesar shook Fingel awake, who was lying on the sofa taking an afternoon nap and drooling uncontrollably, seemingly lost in his own dreams.

"Huh? What's up? Has the principal arrived?" Fingel rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"The principal is coming to China too?" Caesar frowned; he really didn't know this.

Why is that dragon named Fenrir so dangerous? The old man from the Gattuso family doesn't even trust him to stay by Lu Mingfei's side, so he specially sent Angers over as a bodyguard?
Damn it, don't look down on people.

“Yes.” As the intelligence king of Kassel College, Fingel could not possibly hide such a small matter as the principal’s mid-journey transfer from his intelligence network: “He went to Italy yesterday and had a quarrel with your uncle. This morning he was preparing to fly back to Japan to continue dealing with the mess of the Snake Clan, but at noon he went to South Korea to transfer to the capital.”

"How did you know?" Caesar looked at him suspiciously.

“Ye Sheng told me that,” Fingel said matter-of-factly. “Professor Mans and the others must have received the news that the principal was coming to Beijing.”

As he spoke, he looked up at the clock on the wall: "He'll be here soon. Are you going to the branch base with Professor Mans and the others to welcome the principal for his visit, or are you going back to the hotel?"

"Let's go back to the hotel." Nono didn't know what Lu Mingfei had done to the Chen family manor, but no matter what, it wasn't appropriate for her to go near the academy in the current situation.

Her mentor, Professor Mans, had a long-standing relationship with the Chen family, and the two families even had business dealings.

If her businessman father asks Professor Mans to intervene and ask her to return the key, should she hand it over or not?
Is this a decision she can make?
Did she really think she sent Lu Mingfei to rob and kidnap children?

She doesn't have that much influence.

“Alright, it just so happens that I was caught using the branch base's equipment to surf the internet yesterday, and it's inconvenient for me to go over and embarrass myself.” Fingel chuckled, then turned to Zero, who was standing quietly to the side, and gestured for him to proceed.

"Your Highness, please go first."

According to the records at Kassel College, Zero is a descendant of the Tsar. Fingel knew that her relationship with Lu Mingfei was unusual, so he simply used a respectful title.

Just as the four were returning, a flight from Seoul, South Korea to Beijing landed.

In the arrival hall, Professor Mans, accompanied by his ace partners Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, as well as intern Selma, greeted the passengers.

"Professor, what exactly is this dragon named Fenrir? Lu Mingfei wasn't enough, even the principal was attracted here." Selma's eyes were full of curiosity. The former strongest dragon slayer and the current strongest dragon slayer appeared together. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Fenrir was the Black King Nidhogg in disguise, preparing for a grand entrance.

"Based on the analysis from headquarters, it is very likely to be the King of Earth and Mountains," Professor Mans said with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

The King of Bronze and Fire was revived in the Yangtze River, but it lacked all the advantages of timing, location, and popular support. However, the King of Earth and Mountain might be hiding deep underground, and this city is far more sensitive and important than the mountain city. Preparations are difficult to carry out, and the slightest carelessness could alert a certain intelligence giant group known as "Chaoyang Aunties".

Because of them, our colleagues in the Chinese branch almost had their operations exposed on several occasions.

"It's the Dragon King again."

Ye Sheng felt he was almost desensitized to the word "Dragon King." Despite being the ultimate creature that Kassel College had been on high alert for over a hundred years, he had recently witnessed them dying tragically in front of him one after another, and he really didn't feel any awe for the legendary creature.

He even felt that the two dragon servants who had attacked the research ship earlier were more oppressive, at least he had witnessed their terror firsthand, while the Dragon King was directly beaten to dust by Lu Mingfei.

"Don't be careless. This Dragon King is very dangerous. Once it senses the danger, the entire city may be wiped out." Professor Mans was about to give a lecture when he caught a glimpse of an elderly man with silver hair in a black suit emerging from the immigration hall with the crowd.

Tall and imposing, yet exceptionally elegant, he stood out like a crane among chickens among a group of Koreans.

As the staff checked the elderly man's passport, they were surprised to find that he was a very old tourist and remarkably healthy. They couldn't help but praise him.
"Sir, it's truly remarkable that you're traveling alone at your age."

"Hehe, I've come to visit an old friend I haven't seen in a long time," the white-haired old man replied in fluent Chinese.

"Your Chinese is very authentic," the staff member said.

"I have a Chinese friend. We used to work hard together in Germany and made quite a name for ourselves." The old man pointed to a yellowed old photograph in his suitcase, grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth, and smiled broadly.
"This time, I brought them along to see that old friend I haven't seen in a long time."
