Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 100 Kassel? Not too late, you've come at the perfect time!
"Leviathan, king of the sea and water, is dead."

Through the scope, the burly body collapsed with a crash.

Mai Shude put away her long sniper rifle and ejected the remaining four bullets from the magazine, which were made from precious Philosopher's Stones.

She has always been first-rate in seizing opportunities on the battlefield.

The AS50 sniper rifle has a muzzle velocity of approximately 800 meters per second, and it takes about 3 seconds for the bullet to travel from the moment it is fired to the site of the Chen family's old house.

Especially in such a complex environment, the difficulty of hitting the target goes without saying.

But what truly puzzled her was something else entirely.

Why did you only let me fire one shot?

"To be honest, when facing an enemy like Leviathan, which is at the level of a dragon king, you can't be too cautious, right? I feel that if we fire a couple more shots, Leviathan might just die, saving Little Rabbit the trouble of going through so much trouble to finish him off."

Through the headset, Su Enxi spoke lazily, accompanied by the crunching sound of potato chips being bitten.

"This is the boss's order. He's giving you five bullets just in case. But since Little Rabbit has the upper hand, we should leave the crucial kill to him. We can't let Little Rabbit take the lead. Little Rabbit has to kill the Dragon King himself."

"Oh, so this is called cultivating the 'invincible will'? I get it, that's what the book says."

Jiu Demayi seemed to be deep in thought.

Su Enxi coughed lightly and reminded him, "Anyway, no matter what you mean, I suggest you pack your things and run away as soon as possible. The Zhou family will be coming over soon."

Under the cover of night, following her gunshot, a large number of Zhou family members had already surrounded them from all directions.

"We're taking them in, we're taking them in."

Soon, Mai Shude finished packing.

She transformed into a wisp of black smoke, almost invisible in the dead of night, and vanished from the spot.

……

Just as a fierce battle to slay the dragon was taking place at the Chen Family Manor.

Eleven time zones away at the Kassel College, the super artificial intelligence in the central control room once again detected abnormal weather phenomena in the relevant area.

It is no coincidence.

Today's duty officer is once again Professor Manstein, the college's bald disciplinary committee member.

Looking at the exaggeratedly dark red dot on the screen, the old man almost felt his heart and blood pressure soar to new heights.

"Damn it, how long has it been? Another suspected world-destroying incantation phenomenon has appeared, and... why is it my turn to be on duty again?" Manstein's face turned ashen.

A liaison officer wearing a headset shouted, "Cheng Shuangfan, the branch manager of the China division, has sent a contact request!"

"Connect me immediately!"

Manstein's expression hardened. Could this be for real?
After a while,
A somewhat blurry virtual image popped up on the screen, and the signal was also affected to some extent by the turbulent flow of elements.

This is a typical Eastern man with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. He is handsome and tall, and is about thirty years old. The background is pitch black, and his forehead and clothes are covered with rainwater.

Who's on duty?

Cheng Shuangfan stared at the screen and spoke.

His name is roughly derived from the poem "Hardship and sorrow have turned my temples gray, and in my decline I have stopped drinking wine," which carries a heavy sense of vicissitude. But even though we are thousands of kilometers apart, his eyes still give people a sense of arrogance, looking around like an eagle.

That was indeed the case; otherwise, he wouldn't have mobilized a large force to take action against the Chen family based on just a few clues.

Although the operation was forcibly stopped by the school board, he still secretly handed the witness to the Zhou family, claiming to the outside world that he "could not find him".

“It is I, Manstein.”

The old professor, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, immediately forced a smile and responded.

He wasn't dissatisfied with Cheng Shuangfan's attitude. After all, the position of 'branch minister' was equivalent to the head of an independent department in the executive department system, which was much higher than his position as the disciplinary committee member in charge of campus discipline. Not to mention that Cheng Shuangfan's bloodline was S, while he was only A, an A in clerical position.

"Hmm?...Hmm."

Cheng Shuangfan raised her eyebrows, but ultimately nodded slightly.

"It's the Chen family..."

He immediately gave a brief account of what he had seen that night. As the head of the Chinese branch of Kassel College, Cheng Shuangfan had naturally been informed of the Zhou family's attack on the Chen family long ago.

He has always had a good relationship with the orthodox, and tonight he has joined the ranks of the 'spectators'.

However, the Chen family's actions were simply too much of a commotion.

According to the Zhou family's description, the commotion just now was not caused by any large-scale formation or alchemical matrix, but by a genuine world-destroying incantation—Return to the Void—activated by the King of the Ocean and Water!
After listening to Cheng Shuangfan's brief report,
"Are you saying that the Chen family colluded with the first generation of dragons, the king of the ocean and water?"

Manstein's forehead was covered in sweat, and he thought to himself, "I'm just a discipline officer, do I really have to carry such a heavy burden?"

"What's the situation now? What about that Dragon King? Send reinforcements immediately!" he said hastily.

“It’s already taken care of.” Cheng Shuangfan’s expression was slightly strange. “But that’s not important.”

"This...this isn't important?"

Manstein was even more bewildered. The first generation of dragons was secretly reviving and had already begun establishing contact with human forces. This wasn't important? They'd even been dealt with... This wasn't important?

"My personal suggestion is that Professor Manstein, you should go and report the situation to someone of influence as soon as possible."

Cheng Shuangfan kindly reminded him, "Don't forget, our Kassel College Board of Directors previously protected the Chen family. I was preparing to gather people to attack the Chen family, but they stopped me."

"So once the Zhou family has finished handling the aftermath, we might need to give them a proper explanation."

"Why...why would the board of directors of Kassel College prevent others from taking action against the Chen family?"

"puff--"

Manstein's vision went black for a moment, and his expression instantly turned as if he had opened a dye shop.

He seemed to see a huge black pot placed over the head of Kassel College.

Damn the Chen family!
At that moment, he realized what was happening.

Okay, compared to Kassel College's label changing from 'dragon slayer vanguard' to 'dragon lackey'.

A mere dragon king that has already been dealt with... is indeed not that important anymore.

"Hey, Branch Manager Cheng, you need to quickly explain this to the Zhou family!" Manstein said urgently. We can't take the blame for this!

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

Cheng Shuangfan twitched the corners of her mouth, her expression clearly showing disappointment.

Thousands of miles away,

The man flicked his trench coat, composed himself, and strode along the main road toward the dilapidated manor in the distance.

The call is hung up.

Their conversation was overheard by more than seventy staff members in the central control room.

So, our school board members... might be traitors?

So what the hell are we busy with?
The whole world fell silent for a moment.

This silence was a wake-up call.

Until, after hastily wiping the tea off his body, Manstein let out a furious roar.

"Quick! Didn't you hear what Branch Manager Cheng said?!"

"Get me to contact Principal Angers! By any means necessary, quickly!"

……

The rain stopped, and the bright moon peeked out again.

The Chen Family Manor was bustling with activity both inside and out.

Dragon slaying has always held a place in the heroic epics of countless civilizations throughout history and across the world.

The evil dragon brings disaster, but brave heroes step forward. The victorious return is blessed with wealth and beauty, just like Siegfried in "The Nibelungenlied" who killed the dragon Fafnir, bathed in its blood and was reborn, thus beginning his own legend.

Dragons do exist in this world.

The burning and corrosive sensation of dragon blood splattering on the body is basically consistent with the descriptions in various legends.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei leaned weakly against the edge of the Chen family's old house ruins, looking as if he were resting in a trench.

As the power of the Dragon-Slaying Platform dissipated and the adrenaline faded, waves of pain, which had been deliberately ignored, surged into his heart, accompanied by a tide of fatigue.

But he can't sleep yet.

Beside him, Nuwa was carefully wiping away the dragon blood splattered on his body with a towel. A small bucket was piled up with blood-stained towels, making it hard to tell whether it was Leviathan's blood or Lu Mingfei's own.

However, according to the Zhou family's records, this blood must be wiped clean before resting.

"What are you thinking?"

Nuwa asked softly, her delicate hands wiping with utmost care.

The Zhou family members who rushed to clean up the mess looked at the young boy leaning against the corner, his face full of fatigue, with awe, worship, and even a bit of fanaticism in their eyes.

This is the world of mixed-race people. Logically speaking, bloodline is paramount and clan is supreme, but in essence, strength truly represents a person's status and position.

Just like Nuwa, nominally she was a direct descendant of the Zhou family and a manifest descendant of the Nuwa clan, but the reason why she could have such great influence was ultimately because of her extraordinary strength.

Just like the orthodox lineage, which has remained aloof and superior for thousands of years, looking down on ordinary people and even wild hybrids, it is because they possess strength that surpasses that of ordinary people.

But it's different now.

An even younger boy, in front of everyone, turned the tide and defeated an enemy that even Nuwa could not defeat—the terrifying Dragon King, who was crowned with the name of 'god' in countless legends.

Before this, many members of the Zhou family had questioned Lu Mingfei's treatment. Some felt that he was just a lucky guy who had managed to pull out the Dragon-Slaying Platform by chance and was not worthy of such careful treatment, let alone having Nuwa marry him!
But from now on, these voices will be silenced.

Everyone has to reassess their attitude toward this young boy.

And how to ensure he remains one of our own.

At this moment, I feel the thoughtful service of Nuwa.

Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze from the panel and shook his head: "I was just thinking, what is the purpose of life? Money, love, power, fame—are these things really that important to us? Or should we spend more time exploring the mysteries of the universe? What lies at the end of the universe?"

"Sage Mode?"

Nuwa tilted her head, easily getting the joke.

"Haha."

Lu Mingfei laughed, but accidentally aggravated his wound.

After grimacing for a moment, he said seriously, "Thanks to your shot just now, it was crucial, otherwise this dragon might have gotten away this time."

"Although... I didn't fire that shot."

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback. "Who else could it be but you? Others would be in trouble just looking at a battlefield of this level, let alone having to seize that fleeting opportunity."

Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, which were clearly a compliment, Nuwa chuckled, her little face beaming with joy, but she still shook her head. "It really wasn't me. The person who fired the shot was far away. I sent someone to check, but don't get your hopes up too high. I can only say it's probably one of our own."

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the female ghost that Lao Tang had mentioned before. Could it be her?
Just as he was about to say something more,
But then a member of the Zhou family rushed over from afar, saying, "Reporting to the Goddess Nuwa, Mr. Lu, people from Kassel College request an audience."

"Kassel College?"

Nuwa's eyebrows shot up, and the gentle smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by icy coldness.

Clearly, she had already considered the various roles that Kassel College might play in this series of events.

"Yes... Cheng Shuangfan, the branch manager of the China branch."

The Zhou family member said cautiously, "Do you want to see him? If not, we'll kick him out."

"Yes, of course I see you."

Nuwa said calmly, "Bring him here."

After a while,
Cheng Shuangfan was led into the deep pit by a group of Zhou family members with wary expressions.

He glanced subtly at the enormous corpse in the distance, now covered by a black cloth.

Lu Mingfei was also sizing him up.

In an instant, Cheng Shuangfan's information appeared in his eyes.

Hmm, S-rank, combat power 530.

There's a little something, but not much, so I'm relieved.

After Nuwa's explanation, he also realized the potential problems in Kassel.

However, with Nuwa in charge, this person probably won't be able to cause any trouble.

"Xiao Cheng, come here."

Nuwa smiled and waved to him.

Cheng Shuangfan withdrew her gaze, forced an awkward smile, and bowed respectfully as she approached.

"Greetings, Nuwa. I apologize for being late."

"Late? No, no, no, you've come at the perfect time!"

Nuwa smiled kindly, but her words almost made Cheng Shuangfan faint.

"This time, your Kassel College, including the Secret Party, has a big problem. The people you are protecting are actually colluding with the Dragon King. In a couple of days, our orthodox internal reform meeting will be held."

"Remember to invite your principal, Angers, to attend as well, haha."

　Sorry, I have a bit of heatstroke. I'll rest for a while after get off work. If I feel better, I'll write another chapter tonight; if not, consider it an overdue payment.
