Chapter 102 You're too cunning, Leviathan!

"Slander! This is absolutely slander!"

At the table, a secretary dressed in black and a white shirt stood respectfully, her light golden hair falling down to cover half of her face.

Pascal Gattuso.

It was he who brought this report of accusations that nearly made Frost cough up blood.

"Angers... damn it! This son of a bitch even has that signature!"

Turning to the end of the entire document, Frost's emotions erupted once again, his roar reaching a decibel level comparable to a jet plane flying overhead.

"I must impeach him at the next board meeting!"

Percy wisely remained silent.

To be fair, Frost, the acting head of the family, is a man of exceptional skill and ability. However, he has a fiery temper and sometimes loses control when he gets carried away. As the saying goes, there are no bad nicknames, only bad names. The name "Fighting Sheep" is perfectly suited to Frost.

Although he had served as acting head of the family for many years and had tempered his temper considerably, such egregious accusations suddenly falling on the Gattuso family still ignited the volcano in the heart of this man who valued his family more than his own life.

It took half a minute.

Frost took several deep breaths and managed to barely suppress the anger surging within him.

He knew this wasn't the time to lose his temper recklessly.

The top priority right now is to resolve the problem quickly; we absolutely cannot delay it, as the longer we do, the more it will send a signal of our insecurity.

“Should we wake the elders?” Percy suggested softly.

“Chi ha la coscienza a posto, non ha paura del buio,” Frost coldly quoted an Italian proverb.

This means 'a righteous heart fears no darkness.' At this moment, Frost had calmed down. In his view, the accusation seemed severe, but it was far from being 'solid evidence.' Moreover, his assistance to the Chen family through the board of directors was merely an exchange of interests between allies—economic allies!
Moreover, the Gattuso family itself has no problems. As the largest donor to Kassel College over the years, they have always been on the front line of the dragon-slaying battlefield. If they need to ask the elders for help with such a small matter of public opinion, it only shows that Frost's ability to handle things is too poor.

"clear."

Percy remained calm, maintaining a slightly bowed posture, his bangs obscuring half his face, making his expression unreadable.

A moment later, Frost raised one hand and gave the order in a deep voice.

"First, respond to this accusation directly. Draft a formal statement and show it to me before you release it, demonstrating our stance."

"Second, immediately arrange for someone to investigate the ins and outs of this matter."

"If the situation is true, then all cooperation with the Chen family will be terminated immediately, whether it is a commercial project or a scientific research project."

"In addition, the donation amount to the college will be increased next year. Correspondingly, we must take the initiative to arrange people to participate in the subsequent search and investigation of the remnants of the Chen family and make our position clear."

“Understood,” Percy said softly. “I’ll make the arrangements immediately.”

"Go...no, wait!"

Frost suddenly frowned. "I remember the girl Caesar liked was also from the Chen family, right?"

“Yes, her name is Chen Motong,” Percy said.

Frost pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. "Okay, I understand. Go and get to work."

"Yes."

After Percy left.

Frost's brow furrowed even more.

He walked slowly to the window of the castle. The sun was setting, and at the end of his vision, a blue temple was faintly visible among the mountains and forests.

In fact, a large part of the reason why he chose to speak up for the Chen family at the board meeting, and even earlier when the Gattuso family established a diversified cooperation system with the Chen family, was because of Chen Motong.

The elders valued the dark red-haired girl highly, and without Caesar's knowledge, they appointed her as his future bride, even though Caesar has always believed he has found true love.

The Gattuso family was somewhat unusual, something Frost had always known.

In the eyes of the Secret Society elders and other ancient mixed-race forces, the Gattuso family is a new family that has only risen to prominence for a little over a hundred years. However, the Gattuso family has actually continued to this day, with a verifiable family history of over a thousand years and more than forty family heads during that time.

Under the strict supervision of generations of elders in the Hall of Azure Clouds, the position of 'Matriarch' has always been foolproof. Neither the Matriarch's own character nor the power she represents has ever gone wrong.

They accumulated greater strength in a shorter time than other families.

But now... regardless of Chen Motong's situation, all her actions are quite satisfactory.

The Chen family behind her was discovered to have ties with the Dragon Clan first.

This is undoubtedly a dangerous sign.

Frost has read the report. If nothing unexpected happens, the Chen family is doomed this time, as long as the legitimate Zhou family displays the dragon corpse.

"The Chen family was chosen by the elders... Could it be that the wisdom of this generation of elders is insufficient to lead the family to greater glory?"

Frost was not a fool, nor was he a brainless fan of the elders. He was essentially loyal only to the Gattuso family. The last time he was suddenly summoned out of the Blue Palace, he realized that something was wrong.

If it weren't for the glorious deeds and outstanding contributions of the elders over the past hundreds of years, he would never have allowed a group of old fogies who slept in ice coffins all year round to give orders.

This time, the Chen family incident completely stirred up his doubts.

"Or have the elders changed?"

"They've long since stopped considering the family's future as a whole, and are now driven by some ulterior motive?" Frost's thoughts were conflicted.

The setting sun shone on his wrinkled face, half of it radiant and half shrouded in shadow.

……

While various follow-up and search and rescue operations at the Chen Family Manor site were in full swing.

Lu Mingfei finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep, nestled in Nuwa's arms.

Meanwhile, Nuwa dispatched Zhou Yuxuan, who controlled the 'Dustless Land,' and Lao Tang to take Nuonuo to the medical building that had long been deserted.

"The other person was a woman, wearing high heels. She loved to look pretty and was very confident. She went up this staircase."

Nono's eyes were half-open, and she looked like a medium from ancient times. "This is her first time in this building, but she is very familiar with the layout of the building. She did not pause at all, which means she did her homework."

Zhou Yuxuan, Lao Tang, and even Nuwa, who had been in contact with them by phone, all remained silent, waiting for the 'little witch' to use her profiling abilities.

There were actually no footprints or other marks on the ground, but she felt as if she had seen the other person's every move.

In profiling mode, her ability to capture details has reached a terrifying level.

"The twelfth floor is the best shooting position, which can cover most of the deep pit of the old house. The best angle is... room 1220. She pried open the door directly."

squeak-

The door opened, and Nono went inside first.

There were no traces inside the house either. According to the previous analysis by the Zhou family's gun experts, the bullet was most likely fired from this area, but it was impossible to pinpoint which room it came from.

"She must have been leaning against the windowsill for a long time... She had a great figure, but she wasn't bored. Her high heels left some slight marks on the ground... She must have had a teammate who was keeping in touch with her from behind... They were discussing when to fire."

Nono kept whispering, as if she had witnessed the conversation between Jiude Mai and Su Enxi through their earpieces.

“It was premeditated and well-prepared.” Nuwa fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yuxuan's expression turned slightly horrified.

In his view, this room was just an ordinary empty ward. He didn't find any traces or scratches at all, and he guessed that the other Zhou family members who had searched this place before had the same experience.

The opponent was very good at hiding, but seemed to have nowhere to hide from Nono's profiling.

Old Tang, on the other hand, thought of that female ghost... high heels, a great figure, beautiful and confident.

That all matches up.

"She was equally calm and unhurried when she left, taking her time to pack up all her equipment. Although she had already seen the Zhou family members surrounding her from the window, she had no worries about escaping unscathed... This may be related to her Word of Power."

Nono finally breathed a sigh of relief. In her spiritual vision, the tall, beautiful, and powerful woman left. Whether she came or went, she was quite dashing.

for a long time.

The voice of Nuwa came through the headset.

"You're doing well. Stay at the Zhou family's place for now and wait for Lu Mingfei to wake up before listening to his arrangements."

Nono bit her lip gently and didn't say anything.

This profile is also a way of proving her own worth, especially since the Chen family is in a position of defying public opinion. How she, the nominal eldest daughter of the Chen family, should conduct herself in the future largely depends on the Zhou family's decision.

As for the so-called traitor who provided intelligence... Nuwa could naturally see that it was just something Lu Mingfei said casually, and she simply didn't expose him to his face.

"There's another feeling, a guess of mine, for your reference only."

Nono suddenly said, "This woman may know Lu Mingfei, but her attitude towards Lu Mingfei is a bit complicated. There are marks on the edge of the windowsill where the tiger's mouth has rubbed against the ground multiple times, which means that she has been struggling with when to fire the gun, or how many shots to fire."

"I guess she might appear in front of Lu Mingfei next time, but not necessarily in her real form."

"How did you figure that out?" Old Tang couldn't help but ask.

"I said, it's a feeling."

Nono said with a smile.

"You can understand it as a woman's sixth sense."

……

The night was deeper.

The ruins of the Chen Family Manor are still guarded by a large number of Zhou family members, and the surrounding area is brightly lit.

however,
From the unseen shadows, a ghostly figure stealthily approaches.

The target was the enormous corpse, completely covered by a black cloth and heavily guarded.

He suddenly sniffed the air.

They stopped and did not approach any further.

"No dragon bones left behind? Leviathan... I underestimated you. Such a reckless fellow also possesses such a treacherous side. You secretly prepared the cocoon for resurrection long ago."

"As expected, when it comes to collaborating on the future, you really need to find cute little sisters..."
