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

Chapter 126 What a talent show segment!

In the dark and cramped cabin.

Threads of red silk, like invisible snakes, shot out from Lu Mingfei's heart and flowed in all directions...

Sensing something was amiss, Lu Mingfei immediately released 'Word of Power: Bloodline Binding'.

As expected, this time the power of words brought back a different result.

somebody is coming,

And they're mixed-race!
One...two...three...four...Four came onto the deck, and two more were on the sea in the distance.

By clarifying the number of lines and their direction of movement, Lu Mingfei easily determined the current situation.

"The bloodline levels of the six hybrids are all quite high. One should be A-level, and the other five are B-level... They're quite elite, aren't they?"

Lu Mingfei slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable. In the extremely quiet environment, his five senses seemed to be magnified many times over, and he could even faintly hear the sound of boots kicking the steel plates on the deck.

On the vast ocean, at night, a cargo ship that also serves as a smuggling vessel.

What does the sudden appearance of such a group of mixed-race individuals with considerable combat power mean?
"Is Nakajima Tagawa really unreliable?"

Lu Mingfei gently stroked the surface of the instrument case, pondered for a moment, but suppressed the urge to grab his weapon.

He wasn't entirely sure whether this group of people were after him or not.

To put it bluntly, while this combination might seem decent, trying to defeat him would be somewhat overestimating one's abilities.

Of course, having a low bloodline is one thing.

If they were just trying to pull out some torpedoes or missiles, he wouldn't have anything to say. But if they were just trying to pull out torpedoes or missiles, why would they go through all this trouble of boarding the ship? Are they just letting their own people try out the newly developed weapons first?

In an instant, Lu Mingfei's mind raced with thoughts, making it difficult to arrive at a reasonable explanation.

Something feels off, but I don't know why.

Of course, he couldn't have guessed that he was just an innocent victim of this whole mess. These people outside were really just conducting a routine check, but they brought extra people just to be on the safe side... Well, actually, it wasn't exactly an innocent victim, since if he hadn't stirred things up, the king might not have suddenly launched such a large-scale attack.

So……

How to say?
At that moment, footsteps echoed in the passageway below deck.

“Mr. Sakura.” Nakajima Tagawa knocked on the door.

The door opened silently.
Lu Mingfei stared at him through a crack in the door.

Nakajima Tagawa swallowed hard. "Not very lucky, just a routine check by the Coast Guard..."

Seeing Lu Mingfei raise his eyebrows, he quickly assured him again, "Don't worry, we are a legitimate cargo ship, all the procedures are in order, and I have always had a good reputation. There are my friends on board, I can just give them a heads-up later."

Lu Mingfei was speechless. The Coast Guard was now composed entirely of mixed races... What a joke!
However, with Nakajima Tagawa's appearance, he was now able to confirm one thing: the snakehead had no intention of harming him, after all, his [favorability] level was there.

It has nothing to do with him?

Lu Mingfei pondered in his heart.

At this point, Nakajima Tagawa cautiously added, "However, you might need to come with me to the deck first to go through the motions... otherwise, we won't be able to handle the inspection."

“Okay,” Lu Mingfei said calmly.

Nakajima Tagawa felt a sense of relief.
He used the Coast Guard name instead of his family name, which suggests the young man understood, and they might even know each other.

"Then please follow me." He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

The reason why Nakajima Tagawa has lived a carefree life despite doing many bad things is simply because he is adept at navigating social situations.

He didn't dare offend any of them, whether it was his own family, Boss Zhou, or this boy.

Especially that boy named after cherry blossoms—the moment he opened the door and met those dark eyes, he almost thought he was dead…

Having been in this business for so many years, Nakajima Tagawa naturally had some guesses about the 'monsters' of his own clan. The boy in front of him was probably one of the monsters as well... As for the affairs between monsters, let them handle them themselves. This was also an unwritten rule in the underworld.

Nakajima Tagawa walked ahead, heading up the gangway to the deck, while Lu Mingfei made room for him to follow behind, his expression indifferent.

He kept the 'Word of Power: Bloodline Binding' active, and the investigation showed that the four hybrids on the deck remained standing together and did not separate to surround each other.

……

On the deck, Crow stood silently with his three henchmen, the night sea breeze rustling through the executive bureau's coat.

Behind us, the engine room roared to life, echoing the endless tides.

A speedboat was anchored on the sea in the distance, with two officers from the enforcement bureau keeping a close eye on the situation.

They were waiting for Nakajima Tagawa to bring the people off the ship, which was also a way of showing their stance.

After all, since the other party chose to respect the dignity of the main family, the main family should also respond to their respect.

The crow stood with his hands in his pockets, a soft Seven Star cigarette dangling from his beak. The embers of the cigarette were one of the few sources of light in the darkness. He and the sea breeze each took a half of the cigarette, the smoke turning into wisps of air.

It was quite imposing.

When Lu Mingfei arrived on the deck with Nakajima Tagawa, he immediately noticed this guy who was clearly the leader.

My first impression was alright; at least I learned a trick to look cool.

It's a pity he doesn't smoke much, but the same would probably apply if it were a lollipop instead.

Lu Mingfei had excellent night vision; the exclamation marks above the heads of these people were as bright as beacons.

In an instant, all the information about these people was displayed before his eyes.

As he expected, this group of people were all from the Sheqi Bajia Executive Bureau.

The information about the leader particularly caught his attention.

[Name: Saeki Ryuji]... [Bloodline: A], [Combat Strength: 94], [Tags: Raven, Strategist, Young Master's Assistant, Pervert...]

"The Young Master's Assistant Team...does that mean the assistant to the Executive Bureau Chief, Genjiro?"

Lu Mingfei quietly withdrew his gaze, recalling that Angers had given him a general overview of the situation of the Snake Clan.

At that time, Angers specifically mentioned a very outstanding young man named Genjiro, saying that he had studied at the Kassel College before. At that time, he was an exchange student of the Snake Clan, and they all called him Young Master. In short, it exuded a very feudal atmosphere.

"What's Genji's assistant doing here all of a sudden?"

Lu Mingfei's doubts deepened, and several thoughts almost subconsciously popped into his mind:
A, I've been exposed. I've wiped them all out.

B, run away on the spot and wipe them all out in the process.

C, ... Lu Mingfei's gaze shifted again without changing his expression, roughly calculating the distance between himself and the four people on the bow deck, as well as the distance between the cargo ship and the speedboat.

The former isn't a big problem, but the latter is a bit more troublesome...

At this moment, several burly crew members on the cargo ship brought out the "guests" hidden in the container. There were seven people in total, five women and two men, and they all looked very young.

Faced with this sudden change, the men and women all looked stunned and bewildered, as if they were recalling the classic "cut the weeds and eliminate the roots" scene in a movie, like the "broad-cut noodles" or "wonton noodles".

This is the biggest risk of smuggling: you have no idea whether the smuggler is a human or a monster.

In this situation, even if we kill them and throw them into the sea, there's no one to reason with.

Lu Mingfei glanced at it briefly before decisively looking away.

As expected, Nakajima Tagawa Jun was just fooling people.

On the deck, Crow also withdrew his gaze, showing the same lack of interest as Lu Mingfei.

"Is this the group of people?" he said coldly.

"Yes, I would never dare to deceive the family's enforcers," Nakajima Tagawa said with a shameless smile.

"Ah."

Crow responded calmly, twisted his neck, and glanced around. His three henchmen immediately understood.

The containers were heading towards the warehouse not far away.

Are these the only people?

Nakajima Tagawa's opinion doesn't count; it's up to them to determine.

The opportunity has already been given to Nakajima Tagawa, but whether he can seize it depends on himself.

After a long while, the underlings returned.

They all shook their heads, their faces showing relief.

Nakajima Tagawa's ship was a cargo ship, and the containers were full of toys. At least it was relatively clean and tidy. Before that, they had stopped several garbage ships. Some of the garbage was valuable and could be dismantled and recycled. Some of the garbage was just piled up in the open, but they all had one thing in common: they smelled terrible.

Some illegal immigrants are not afraid of death and will stay in garbage dumps for days and nights.

"good."

The crow nodded slightly. "Go down and take a look."

After saying that, he took the lead and went down the ladder to the deck.

Nakajima Tagawa followed behind with a forced smile.

Lu Mingfei was beginning to understand.

These people seem to be just... conducting a routine check?
But isn't this a bit too much?

It seems things haven't been peaceful around the Snake Clan lately. Are they worried about someone sneaking over...?

Lu Mingfei roughly figured out the truth.

The passageway below deck was pitch black, with only a dim light every few meters.

Crow, accompanied by three henchmen, scanned each cabin with vigilant expressions, flashlights in hand, to make sure no one was hiding inside.

Nakajima Tagawa followed behind, along with several crew members, Lu Mingfei, and the other illegal immigrants.

Lu Mingfei was dressed in a crew uniform and was classified as a 'crew member'. Although the main family was very powerful, it was still difficult to control the movement of people on ocean-going cargo ships.

The crow stopped at the end of the passageway, where the door to a cabin was open.

"Whose room is this?" he asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this question, Nakajima Tagawa's heart skipped a beat, but before he could respond,
Lu Mingfei stepped forward first.

"my room."

The crow smiled, his attention remaining fixed on the excessively young boy in front of him.

This question was specifically asked to Lu Mingfei.

He hadn't paid much attention before, but now, observing closely, he sensed something was amiss.

It's mainly because her skin is so smooth.

Normally, people who spend a lot of time at sea, especially those on cargo ships, often have their faces roughened like sand by the salty sea breeze. Men at sea are often very depressed, and the only things they can do to pass the time are drink and pornographic movies. Their rooms often have a strong smell.

But Lu Mingfei is clearly different.

Therefore, there's no need to ask whose room this is, given that it's ridiculously clean and tidy yet clearly shows signs of habitation.

"You don't seem like a crew member."

The crow scrutinized the boy before it with a cautious gaze, its voice filled with certainty.

Nakajima Tagawa quickly explained, "He's a friend's son; I took him out to sea for a bit."

At this moment, Lu Mingfei had a perfectly measured restraint on his face. Wearing DK, he looked like a typical middle school boy, neither a sailor nor a stowaway.

It's understandable for a junior high school student.

But the crow still sensed that something was wrong.

especially……

"what is this?"

The crow suddenly noticed the huge iron box in the corner.

“The instrument case contains a cello. I brought the instrument to practice on the ship,” Nakajima Tagawa added.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei hardened his fist.

He was speechless at Nakajima Tagawa's lame excuse.

What's the point of practicing? What if someone asks me to practice in front of them?
really,

The crow, unaware of the seriousness of the problem, nodded slightly upon hearing this, "So you're an art student."

"I know about the cello. Can you play a piece for me?"
