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

Chapter 294 A Man's Pact
Angers viewed the harbor as simply a "city that prospered by using dragons as a power source".

But as the truth is gradually revealed, will things still be the same?
of course not.

When Angers truly realizes that what the five school board members are really hoping for is to become the 'new dragons' after the dragon race, intending to create an absolutely oppressive and hierarchical world, Angers cannot possibly remain indifferent.

He will kill the board of directors.

He has always been this kind of person, a swordsman, a madman fighting for the world he desires.

Only now did the board of directors realize this, and they were terrified by it.

【Time Zero】is the most terrifying word of power in the world, at least for humans.

Therefore, by controlling Chu Tianjiao's Angers, it's equivalent to having two "swords" to check and balance the Board of Directors.

They began to try to counterbalance Angers with their interests, since Kassel was his weakness, and killing the dragon also required the technical, financial and network support of the board of directors.

The two sides have maintained a delicate balance until today, but that shaky balance beam is finally about to collapse.

The school board's fears became the final brick that tore down the building.

The family cannot give up on development, so they will actively disrupt the balance.

Chu Tianjiao's unexpected disappearance was enough to alert Angers.

The increasingly rampant accumulation of wealth and centralization of power by the school board made Angers' murderous intent clear.

Unable to keep it a secret any longer, the remaining board of directors had no choice but to exclude Angers, this madman.

—This was exactly what Odin had expected.

After all, with the cooperation reaching this level, the four major families are no longer able to extricate themselves.

Too many vested interests forced them to choose family interests and continue to help Odin when he stepped out of his dragon identity.

Even if Pompeii were to jump out at this moment and declare himself to be the Dragon King, so what?
The other four families cannot refuse to cooperate, because if they do, Angers will kill them regardless of whether they continue to cooperate with the Gattuso family.

They need something that can protect their existence.

That's Odin.

The holder of 【Time Zero】 must be excluded.

Through the deterrence theory, the Board of Trustees was finally completely bound together. As for—'Isn't the Board of Trustees afraid of the Dragon King?'

It's no use being afraid now.

This is called 'negotiation'.

Because Angers has no other option but to kill them, while as an appendage of Odin, they might be killed, but more likely they would not be seen as a threat and thus survive.

No, they only think about issues from the perspective of conflict of interest.

In this way, it is not difficult to choose the answer.

Therefore—up to this point, we have explained [the timing of Odin's return], [what Odin specifically did], and [the current situation].

No, the last one isn't clear enough.

Although the board of directors had decided to fully accept Odin's invitation to cooperate and induced Lu Mingfei to take Lu Mingze away from the safe haven, they immediately activated the Divine Punishment to launch a bombing campaign.

But judging from the images...
"Didn't we fail to kill them?"

The woman, who had been timid and silent all along, was now muttering to herself, but how could Odin, who was extremely sensitive to sound, not hear her?

Although he has always used the name Pompeii to travel the world—no, he has many other aliases—for now, let him continue the story as the head of the Gattuso family.

"Of course, I don't think a divine punishment would be enough to kill that guy."

Pompeii shrugged and spread his hands.

"Well, you've really made a lot of preparations. Let's keep throwing," he said with a smile. "Anyway, there are still plenty left, aren't there?"

He already knew.

The difference between humans and dragons is that humans do not emphasize the individual, but care about the 'whole'.

A person with a gun is not scary to a dragon.

What's terrifying is the concept of "gun," which was created by humans.

One, two, three. One thousand, ten thousand, ten million, one hundred million—the terrifying thing is the creativity that allows for the infinite replication of guns once they are manufactured.

The difference between humans and animals lies in their ability to make tools. In this respect, perhaps dragons can only be classified as animals, since the vast majority of dragons do not actively create tools; for them, 'mastering what they can do' is sufficient.

Therefore, dragons would not create a weapon like 'divine punishment'.

They will certainly not scale up this weapon.

If a single Heavenly Punishment would normally surprise and terrify a dragon, then countless Heavenly Punishments would be a uniquely human display of firepower, a weapon reserve that would leave dragons speechless.

The school board, which possesses this capability, is now even capable of abusing this weapon.

If one shot isn't enough to kill Lu Mingfei, then two, three, four! Until he's dead!
That's a bit too much.

For some reason, the girl seemed to feel sorry for him.

"Huhu."

Just as Pompeii was about to say something more—

sound.

It was the sound of a door being opened.

Pompeii's ears twitched slightly as he looked back, as did everyone else.

This is the boardroom, separate from Kassel, where they hold their actual meetings—the meeting room where they met Lu Mingfei was a sham, no, or rather, a staged performance designed to put Lu Mingfei at ease. Even if Lu Mingfei killed the head of the family and the guards there, Relic could guarantee the survival of these wealthy people.

But who exactly will find this place?

In an instant, the door swung open completely, and the person who walked in caused the expressions of the school board members present to change slightly.

That is--

"Oh, oh, oh!!" Pompeii exclaimed happily, spreading his arms wide. "You've come, my good son!"

The newcomer looked up, revealing his deep blue eyes, his expression solemn.

Caesar Gattuso.

"You've arrived—of course, it wouldn't be hard to find this place by checking your visit records. You were expecting me to come here, weren't you?"

The other board members looked at Pompey with reproachful eyes, but Pompey nodded as if it were perfectly natural.

"Of course! Don't all fathers hope for outstanding sons?"

"."

Caesar's eyes swept across the entire room.

"Caesar! Shouldn't you be on your mission to hunt down the murderer of Principal Angers? What are you doing right now?!"

The only possible reason Caesar would choose to come to this meeting room at this time is that he disobeyed orders.

But why?

Even someone as rebellious as him needs a reason.

For example.
"You guys have tampered with my memories, haven't you?"

The smiles of everyone on the board of directors, except for Pompeii, vanished.

Meanwhile, memories that did exist flashed through Caesar's mind.

【1167】

Indeed, 1167.

【.Hmm, 1167.】

It seems we really are birds of a feather. This number is good; how about we use it as our secret code?

【signal? 】

[It's like those movie plots where aliens, spies, or ghosts replace the bodies of familiar people, right? I've always felt that in those situations, there should be a hidden code in a corner of their memory that aliens wouldn't bother to remember.]

[So you chose the name tag number of the prettiest maid we saw at the maid cafe sometime in a certain year and month? So manly.]
