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

Chapter 295 The loser eats the dust

Odin can only modify, not delete, memories.

Lu Mingfei and Caesar were on the crashed helicopter. He fired four bullets, hitting the number keys on the control panel, just to confirm with Lu Mingfei whether there was a problem with his memory.

Having obtained a definitive answer, Caesar was quickly able to deduce in reverse who was now forcing him to act, and who would benefit from this pursuit.

If both Lu Mingfei and Angers die, who benefits the most?
The Dragon King and the Board of Directors are both options, but given the clear existence of a force capable of killing Lu Mingfei, the latter is more likely to be the suspect.

After that, Caesar investigated the movements of the school board as far as he knew, and sure enough, he soon discovered their strange course of action—and the one who bothered him the most was Pompey Gattuso, his own father.

In fact, Caesar had already sensed something was amiss when he made the statement that "there is a mole within the Secret Party" before Lu Mingfei set off.

As an "insider" in a high position, Caesar was able to pinpoint the problem within the board of directors faster than Lu Mingfei. Therefore, he took the initiative to serve as a temporary board member to enter the center of power, which was also to facilitate the investigation.

Caesar was probably aware that the "divine retribution" was a military weapon.

(Why would a mere mixed-race family willingly possess lethal weapons?)

Such doubts arose in Caesar's mind, but he quickly came to the answer—these guys were preparing for the war after the defeat of the dragons.

So, is this the end?

Soon, Caesar sensed something amiss again from the actual content of the board meetings.

There is a subtle discrepancy between the Gattuso family's financial flows and the content agreed upon at the meeting, and the elders are involved in some secret project developments that they themselves are unaware of.

Although no specific details were actually investigated, Caesar could still guess the location of the funds' flow using algorithms. Combining this with Lu Mingfei's direction of movement, he knew that Lu Mingfei, who was suspected to be Odin, was heading to Siberia, the location where the Gattuso family's funds were invested.

"If my memories have been altered, and if Lu Mingfei is my companion, then the current situation is not hard to understand."

Caesar looked down at everyone in the meeting room, feeling the piercing gazes around him.

It wasn't from the school board, but from the protectors in the shadows behind them.

Lu Mingfei had encountered these guys before, and although he could easily suppress them, it didn't mean Caesar could.

From this perspective, fighting may indeed not be his forte.

but--

“I reject the ‘Divine Retribution’ launch plan.”

"What qualifications do you have to perform this operation?" Several other family heads instinctively retorted. There were already two members of the Gattuso family present. Pompey had been looking at Caesar with interest since the beginning, but Caesar ignored him.

"Because I am the head of the family."

“An agent,” Pompeii said with a smile.

“Whether or not you act as an agent is not something you can revoke.” Caesar turned to look at him for the first time.

There was no warmth between father and son in his eyes, only indifference and scrutiny.

“Your position as head of the family was formally handed over to Frost, and then transferred to me by Frost and the Elders. If you want to remove me from my position, you at least need to complete an offline handover ceremony with Frost.”

"Oh, is that how you do it?"

The procedure was proper.

This has nothing to do with the regimes of dragons and humans; it's simply a matter of procedure. Even if Odin possesses power far exceeding that of those present, as a dragon, he has already acknowledged the superiority of humans and the superiority of human systems, and therefore cannot refute his own choice.

Therefore, this 'rule' must be followed.

"My son is truly cunning—so, you mean, as the acting head of the Gattuso family, you're going to refute my use of [Divine Retribution] to kill the dangerous being Odin?"

"What you did wasn't to use divine retribution to kill dangerous individuals, but rather to eliminate the thorn in your side. No, it's not just you, all the school board members here are like that, simply greedy for power, which is why they use weapons to attack innocent people without authorization."

"Whether it's Principal Angers or Lu Mingfei, they're all just being pretended to have 'died in the war against the dragons,' burying human heroes time and time again."

Caesar's molars clenched together, making a grinding sound. "Although I really don't want to speculate like this, perhaps that's how it is in history, or rather, this is a reflection of history."

"Heroes capable of slaying the Dragon King are all hybrids who possess the [Rhine], and such people, after burying the dragon race at the cost of their lives, will no longer have the right to interfere with the rights of hybrids."

"That's why those who want to control power inevitably end up in your hands, in the hands of you bunch of people who only know how to oppress and suck blood, who are even more despicable than frog piss."

Caesar's words naturally met with opposition.

"Caesar Gattuso!! Watch your words and actions!!"

The board of directors doesn't care about the insults, but they still have to put on a show.

In reality, the only one who was truly indignant was the girl. For a woman, being compared to a frog urinating was certainly infuriating.

"Caesar, your objection is meaningless."

Of the two women, the head of the Laurent family appeared more composed, but her words seemed more like a question than a sarcastic remark about Caesar.

Question: [Why did you come here under these circumstances?]

"Your personal strength is probably among the top tier of hybrids, and after being refined by alchemical essence, you can also be considered excellent in the safe haven."

"You possess considerable qualities, including logical reasoning ability, leadership skills, and personal charisma. However—a cook has his talents, a king has his talents, and you, with the talents of a leader, why did you come to this meeting room so unprepared?"

Upon hearing this, the blond man nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, I am different from Lu Mingfei. I have absolutely no confidence that I can defeat the bodyguards in this room.”

"However, what enabled humans to defeat dragons was not only 'creativity' and 'quantity,' but also the unique emotions that created the connection between individuals."

So, first of all—

Caesar yanked open his trench coat.

The exposed, muscular body curves and the bomb wrapped around the abdomen were visible.

"Before I came here, I went to the equipment department. It contains special chain explosives, with a power similar to that of the Rhine in the 20th century, enough to blow up half a city."

"."

The heads of the families then fell silent.

This meeting room is a special, private room. Only verified school board members are allowed to enter; impersonation is not permitted.

Caesar was an accident; everyone forgot that he could exploit the loophole in the so-called temporary school board.

But even if Caesar were present and killed everyone—

“You should be thinking that even if you are killed here, you can be resurrected using some other technology.”

Caesar had a rudimentary understanding of relic.

“But that’s wrong.” Caesar pointed to himself. “The Kamaitachi’s ability is to create a channel in the air to transmit sounds from afar to itself—but if it’s a channel, it should be bidirectional.”

"The fact that I can hear something more clearly means that the other side of my passage can also hear me, in a sense, it's like a 'makeshift telephone'."

“Our conversation has already been transmitted far away and recorded by Fingel since the beginning of this time.”

"He's backed by a North American mixed-race power. If you die here and are resurrected, it proves you've mastered the technology of immortality. Try exposing this and see what happens."

Caesar's gaze darkened.

"Do you want to try starting a war with the whole world right now?"

The school board members squinted at them.

That brat.
