Chapter 114 Angers' Panel, Lu Mingfei's Reasonable Suspicion
Chapter 114 Angers' Panel, Lu Mingfei's Reasonable Suspicion...
The coastal economy is developing well. It's not unusual to see foreigners on the streets.
But like this old man.
Foreign gentlemen who exude an air of high society and nobility are quite rare.
Especially that flashy rose on her chest... Many tourists even mistook it for an actor arranged by the amusement park, ready to put on a big show for everyone.
However, the old man completely ignored the gazes of those around him, as if he only had eyes for Lu Mingfei.
She walked slowly toward him, a warm smile on her face.
Lu Mingfei's eyes were like torches, staring intently at the top of the old man's head as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. Then his gaze moved down and met those silver-gray eyes.
His body instinctively stepped forward, firmly blocking the two girls behind him.
"You must be Lu Mingfei?"
The old man walked straight up to him, seemingly somewhat surprised by Lu Mingfei's subconscious action.
However, his voice remained gentle. "Can we talk?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the dessert station not far away.
“No problem.” Lu Mingfei stared at him for a moment and nodded.
He then turned his head and looked into Nuwa's watery eyes with unprecedented seriousness, before breaking into a smile.
"You guys wait for me in the shade for a while, I want to have a private chat with him."
Nuwa understood immediately, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Go ahead."
Su Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment. She realized that things might be a little bad, but she was a very sensible girl and did not act emotionally like in the movie. She just nodded along with Nuwa.
After a while,
Lu Mingfei and the old man walked into the dessert station.
Nuwa half-pushed and half-carried Su Xiaoqiang away from the spot, her little face suddenly turning gloomy, and she looked like a dark gothic lolita.
She pulled out a sleek cell phone, quickly dialed the Zhou family's base in Binhai, and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, I've run into a ghost! Get this thing here right now!"
……
Inside the dessert station, the two found an empty table in a corner.
"It seems Chu Zihang mentioned my appearance to you?" the old man said with a smile. "But let me reintroduce myself: Hilbert Jean Angers, principal of the College of Kassel."
Actually, no… Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Hello, Principal Angers."
Then he silently added in his mind—
...and, the survivors of Summer's Mourning, the Avengers, the first elders of the Lionheart Society, the leader of the Secret Society...and the Dragon King's Egg.

Misusing Public Funds for Food and Drink, Old Pervert...]
[Evaluation: Dedicated to slaying dragons, but their special attack is on humans.]
Even at the very first glance, when I noticed something was wrong.
Lu Mingfei then opened the interface of the flamboyant old man in front of him.
Hilbert Jean Angers, the principal of the Kassel College... The old man's identity was not unexpected to him.
However, every piece of data and every label in the Angers panel is quite worth appreciating, especially the connections between the various items, which are even more thought-provoking.
Of course, the most crucial point is Angers' unique condition—
The Dragon King's Egg
After exchanging brief greetings, the two suddenly fell silent.
Lu Mingfei was pondering the panel of the Angers.
But Angers seemed to be lost in thought, as if he had forgotten what he had told Lu Mingfei earlier—that he wanted to talk to him about something.
Until the waiter brought two cups of ice cream, one strawberry and one mint—Angers paid the bill.
I can only say that she truly lives up to her reputation as a flirtatious old woman; even when eating ice cream, she chooses a flamboyant flavor like mint.
Angers politely thanked the waiter.
He took a sip of the refreshing mint ice cream and said with a look of admiration, "Seeing you reminds me of Lu Shanyan. You are even more like your father than he is."
“Who…?” Lu Mingfei looked up, not quite hearing the name Angers said.
“Lu Shanyan.” Angers repeated with a smile. He dipped his aged index finger in the condensation on the surface of the ice cream cup and wrote the two characters ‘Shanyan’ on the table. The characters were strong and vigorous, like silver hooks and iron strokes, and did not look like they were written by a foreigner at all.
"He was your great-great-grandfather, or rather, your grandfather's grandfather. He was my friend, my good brother, and my comrade-in-arms."
Lu Mingfei's pupils dilated.
His great-grandfather was like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to him; he didn't even know his grandfather's name.
And this nearly 130-year-old man in front of me actually managed to establish such a long-standing relationship...
Well, considering Angers has a 5-point favorability rating, I'll let him have his say for now.
To be honest, Lu Mingfei remains wary of Angers.
On one hand, there's the "Dragon King's egg," since he himself had just killed a Dragon King;
On the other hand, Angers belongs to the Secret Party system, while Nuwa is the leader of the orthodox faction. The two have recently had a conflict of interest, and Nuwa is currently in a period of weakness.
He worried that Angers might recognize Nuwa and then harm her.
So he simply sent Su Xiaoqiang and Nuwa away beforehand, since time zero, a special attack on people... is really quite scary.
"You mean you still know my father?"
Lu Mingfei asked again, noticing another point.
Angers laughed heartily, "You should know about the world of hybrids now, right? Hmm, I guessed back then that you had actually awakened, and seeing you today confirms that."
“I know not only your father, but also your mother. Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini are both outstanding mixed-race individuals and are also honorary alumni of our school.”
As he spoke, Angers took out a photograph, placed it on the table, and slid it in front of Lu Mingfei.
The photo shows a summer garden. In the distance, a cluster of castle-like buildings can be vaguely seen in the sunset. In the foreground, there are countless vine-covered walls, their greenness deep and translucent. A man and a woman are walking hand in hand among the vines. The man is wearing a loose white shirt and wide-legged trousers, with wooden slippers on his feet, while the woman is wearing a pure white cotton dress.
Lu Mingfei suddenly froze, reaching out his finger to gently touch the faces of the two people on the screen. The beautiful man and woman were his parents.
"These are photos they took in the mountains near Kassel College. Isn't the scenery beautiful?"
Angers' voice carried a strange hint of melancholy.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei had no time to notice the beautiful scenery; his attention was entirely focused on his parents.
The photo shows a man and a woman looking at each other with warm smiles, clearly enjoying their time together.
This was the first time he had seen their photos in all these years. In the past, there were only letters that seemed to be produced on an assembly line, with the same content: expressing longing and postponing his return home.
Lu Mingfei now knows that his parents are probably engaged in some secret work related to dragons, and those letters might not have been written by them at all...
“However, whether it’s Lu Shanyan or Lu Lincheng, you’re quite different from them,” Angers sighed once again.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked softly.
"which aspect?"
"You have even more girlfriends, haha!"
"Cough...cough!"
Lu Mingfei suddenly choked on his ice cream, looking at the old man in front of him who suddenly burst into laughter with a slightly strange expression.
After laughing for a while, Angers' eyes became hazy, revealing a look of reminiscence and longing.
"Young people, these are all normal things. I had many girlfriends when I was in school."
"At the time, they were mostly wearing long white silk dresses and Oxford-style white-soled high heels. A gentle breeze would blow through their dresses, revealing their beautiful calves. Oh! That was simply wonderful!"
Good guy!
Lu Mingfei was speechless, inwardly thinking that this old guy actually liked artsy types, and was sure those were his girlfriends...?
He even reasonably suspected that Angers was testing him with some outdated information, and coupled with the previous appeal to his parents' affections, the old man was clearly trying to get closer to him.
"Old Liu... cough cough, old principal, you didn't come to see me this time to discuss girls, did you? Let's not beat around the bush anymore, just say what you're thinking."
Lu Mingfei scooped a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth, and the cool cream made him exceptionally calm.
"Uh... well."
Angers scratched his gray hair and hesitated before saying, "I came to your country on a business trip... well, there's something else, but you don't need to know about it yet."
"I came to see you because I thought that since I was here so rarely, I might as well take the opportunity to meet the descendants of an old friend."
Lu Mingfei waited quietly for Angers' 'but'.
"But... after seeing you, I changed my mind."
Angers smiled. "You are excellent, even more excellent than I imagined. Therefore, I would like to extend an invitation to you on behalf of Kassel College. Lu Mingfei, will you accept?"
It was indeed an attempt to win them over.
Lu Mingfei was not surprised.
Actually, when Chu Zihang first approached him, he intended to invite him to join Kassel College. He was quite interested at the time, but as time went by, his thoughts gradually changed.
Ultimately, joining any dragon-slaying organization, whether it's an academy, a family, or any other form, boils down to finding a backer and leveraging certain resources. But now he has a better place to go.
The legitimate lineage is that of the Zhou family.
With his connection to Nuwa, the Zhou family and the entire orthodox lineage naturally served as his rear base. Moreover, he had also slain a dragon king, which was enough to prove that he was qualified to enjoy the treatment of an honored guest.
In other words... Principal Angers, you're late.
It seems that this leader of the secret society is still unaware of who is behind the Zhou family's dragon-slaying.
This shows that the Zhou family, under the control of Nuwa, did a very good job of keeping secrets in all aspects, which also proves that their choice was correct.
"Let me think about it."
Lu Mingfei smiled.
Then, the [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission] was activated.
