Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 262 Caesar's World

The principal of Angers has gone missing inside the school.

The news spread like wildfire the next day.

Although the concept of time does not exist in Nibelungen, this event likely occurred around the same time that Lu Mingfei entered Nibelungen.

After that, Kassel descended into complete chaos.

The idea of ​​a group without a leader is somewhat inaccurate, since the students in Kassel are far from being dragons; a group of little Karami would be a more suitable description.

People quickly deployed cameras to search for Angers' whereabouts, but all they knew was that he was last seen in the library, where he suddenly stopped for some unknown reason. When they saw him again, he was lying on the ground covered in blood, and in the next shot, he had completely disappeared.

Without a doubt, the only being capable of inflicting such a devastating blow and crushing defeat on the strongest human hybrid could be the Dragon King.

News of the Dragon King's invasion began to spread rapidly within the academy, and even Fingel, the head of the news department, could not stop the trend. In other words, even he was now overwhelmed with troubles.

Within the entire academy, perhaps only Uesugi Erii, who is completely unaware of what has happened and doesn't particularly enjoy gossip, and who is diligently attending class, and Caesar Gattuso, who has just returned from his family and has already become a temporary school board member in his third year.

Yes.

Temporary school board member.

The situation arose roughly after Frost attended the Five Shadows meeting—or rather, the board meeting attended by Lu Mingfei—and was impeached to some extent for his poor performance. In addition, after the Japanese operation ended, Caesar actively participated in family affairs, and soon voices emerged calling for Caesar to replace Frost.

This is not surprising, as the Gattuso family's primary mission was to train Caesar.

Caesar himself did indeed possess a unique talent for ruling.

Finally, Lu Mingfei, who is now the object of contention among the major board members, is Caesar's close friend. Given this relationship, the Gattuso family has no reason not to take advantage of it.

Ultimately, he naturally became a member of the school board.

Of course, given that Caesar is still a 'student,' he is currently only acting as a temporary school board member, temporarily overstepping his authority to handle the affairs of the Gattuso family.

He gained more authority to manage Lu Mingfei's affairs and help him conceal some of his actions, but he was too busy to participate in the new round of missions, which made him, one of the Iron Triangle members, very dissatisfied.

The disappearance of the principal of Angers only made matters worse.

This happened less than two days after he returned to Kassel.

Caesar was worried about this. Although he helped Lu Mingfei cover up many things, the three members of the Iron Triangle all respected the principal.

"In the end what happened?"

As a strategist who hadn't had a role in a long time, Caesar repeatedly watched the video footage provided by Norma in the student council office, but even after slowing it down thousands of times, he still couldn't find any trace of the attacker.

Moreover, Caesar felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head.

It was a sense of 'incongruity'.

It was as if some unseen conspiracy was approaching.

But what exactly is it?

After a while, someone knocked on the door; it was Chen Motong.

Normally, Caesar would have used his silver tongue to come up with some elegant and witty remarks to please her, but not this time. Firstly, because of the unsettling sense of incongruity he felt, and secondly, because of Chen Motong's expression, which clearly reflected his own poor condition.

what happened?

".What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just not feeling well, maybe it's my period."

Chen Motong spoke as directly as ever, waving her hand and sitting down next to Caesar. The way she held her forehead with her hand was somewhat pitiful and beautiful, but Chen Motong didn't like people looking at her with pitiful eyes, so while she was having a headache, she reached out and rummaged through the pile of 'miscellaneous items' that Caesar had placed on the table.

"You'll be busy with the principal's affairs, the board of directors' affairs, and the student council's affairs during this period."

Her slender fingers swept across the documents, the papers rustling and overlapping as she captured the keywords, which were then stored in Chen Motong's mind.

"Any ideas?"

Caesar placed his hands on his abdomen, leaned back slightly, and asked Chen Motong in a hoarse voice.

Chen Motong's profiling skills are veritable cheating, so it's no wonder Caesar wanted to get his opinion.

but--

"Unfortunately."

Chen Motong sat back. "I've watched the surveillance video, but I haven't come to many conclusions. However... well, I'll share them with you anyway."

The girl held up one finger.
"First, Principal Angers made a phone call before being ambushed by the enemy, which can be interpreted as either 'obtaining some intelligence' or 'knowing a specific person's name'."

This is not hard to see from surveillance footage; anyone with a little knowledge of facial micro-expression analysis can do it.

However, reasoning is simply extending from basic intelligence.

"Since you were being watched while obtaining some intelligence—this isn't a TV drama, it can't be a coincidence; this is [the person the principal is watching, who has been able to observe the principal's actions]."

"You mean, the other party is someone on our side?"

Caesar frowned.

"It is very likely, and it can be divided into two possibilities."

Chen Motong spoke eloquently. "First, the most likely possibility is that the opponent is a Dragon King lurking within the academy. You have also witnessed that abnormal perception [ ]. If it is a Dragon King, it should have similar and even more powerful abilities, capable of monitoring our every move. Therefore, it would naturally be able to detect Angers' movements immediately, which would also explain why Principal Angers could not even react in an instant when facing the attackers and collapsed directly."

Very reasonable.

However, the fact that the Dragon King is lurking in the academy is simply too despairing.

"It's not just despair." Seemingly seeing through Caesar's thoughts, Chen Motong continued, "Although I said it's highly likely, this guess also has obvious flaws, or rather, points that I can't understand. That is, [since the other party is the Dragon King lurking in the academy, then we have an absolute advantage, and there is no need for us to be so cautious and hide ourselves], or rather, they could have made a move against us long ago."

That's true.

Caesar thought to himself.

If the other party were the Dragon King, there would be no way to find the purpose behind such caution.

"What about the second possibility?"

"The second one is more complicated. We need to explain 'monitoring Angers' and 'defeating Angers' separately. First, monitoring. If we want to monitor the principal's actions to the same extent as the Dragon King, I think only Norma can do it."

"Wait, Norma, you mean the other party indirectly used Norma?" How could Caesar not think of this? He understood Chen Motong's meaning in just a moment. "Those who can use Norma are either super hackers like [ ], or the board of directors with the highest authority."

"To be able to defeat Angers means that one is extremely familiar with Angers, and even so familiar with Angers that one is completely unprepared."

"The reason why the camera captured results that made it seem like Angers was defeated instantly is either due to the effect of the Word of Power, or the actual combat portion was deleted or cropped by the entity controlling Norma and replaced with fake footage?"

Either possibility points to a bad outcome.

Caesar looked up and let out a weary sigh, but at the same time, he felt that 'discomfort' beginning to spread in his heart.

You've also witnessed that unusual perception.

[Either a super hacker like [ ]]

Who is it?

*Bang!*

Caesar suddenly got up from the sofa, his throbbing brain sending out a tooth-grinding signal.

He pressed for an answer.

What have I forgotten?
And at that very moment—

The door was pushed open.

Two people walked in.

One person stood tall and looked exceptionally confident, while the other looked dejected and rather like a loser.

"you--"

"Are you out of your mind, Caesar?" A man who looked to be from the Middle East spoke up, his face full of doubt, as if he should know the other person.

At the same time, Caesar also remembered the two men's names.

That Middle Eastern guy was the president of the Lionheart Society, his rival, Abdullah Abbas, the president of the Lionheart Society, who was on par with him.

The ugly boy's name should be Shao Yifeng. He is a 'little brother' he recruited by himself. He has a crush on Nuonuo. He is a kid whose bloodline seems okay, but he has absolutely no strength.

Unlike the two people who are wanted by the Enforcement Bureau at this moment.

They were brothers who had risked their lives for each other.
