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

Chapter 208 News from the Arctic, Norton Awakens and the European Tour Group (8k)

That evening, in a side hall of the Zhou family residence.

The Dragon King, who had just finished a candlelight dinner, was forcibly summoned here.

An impromptu three-person meeting was held.

"According to archaeological discoveries, the origin of dragons is very likely the Arctic. The secret society once salvaged fragments of the Ice Sea Copper Pillar Table in the Arctic Ice Sea and compiled them into the top-secret 'Ice Sea Fragments'."

"The partially deciphered data consistently indicates that it was once the power center during the Dragon Age."

"With the development of modern science, humans have been able to conduct long-term scientific expeditions in the Arctic. The Peruvian Party has long invested in a large number of Arctic research stations, and they have developed and built large icebreakers."

"But apart from that incomplete bronze pillar in the icy sea, humanity has never truly found any large-scale ruins of the ancient dragon race. Whether it's the complete, towering bronze pillar standing in the icy sea or the stone gate tower hundreds of meters high, no clues have been found. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that those incomplete bronze pillars were deliberately left there..."

Inside the main hall, Nuwa spoke in a calm voice.

The news brought by Angers undoubtedly coincided with Lu Mingfei's gains in Japan.

They had to turn their attention once again to the northernmost part of the world.

The Arctic is a key location.

Even the behind-the-scenes manipulators like Odin and the little devils devoted a great deal of energy to that cold ocean.

In fact, the Orthodox Church has been trying to carry out Arctic scientific research in recent decades, but compared with the European Secret Party, which industrialized earlier, it is still far behind in this regard.

"Nibelungen".

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment and then uttered a proper noun.

"The remains of dragons disappeared overnight with the end of the dragon age, just like the legends of 'suddenly vanished ancient civilizations' in many cultures around the world. This should refer to the sudden fall of the dragon civilization."

"They may be hidden in another dimension, like the Night Eater in Tokyo, where you need to go through a mysterious entrance to get there."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei glanced at Xia Mi, whose face was full of resentment.

As this was a top-level internal meeting, the Dragon King, who was obsessed with love, should have been brought in.

"Hey, say something! You're one of the best among the next generation, shouldn't you say a few words now?"

"Haha, actually I don't know much either..."

Xia Mi smiled on the outside, but secretly she was filled with resentment.

Her dragon identity has been known to Nuwa, but the second generation and the first generation are obviously different concepts. Even though she was very unhappy, she had to cooperate with Lu Mingfei on the surface.

bang——

The box of pastries that Xia Mi had been holding in her arms was snatched away.

"Be honest!"

Lu Mingfei pretended to pull out a handful of cookies from inside.

"Ow!"

Xia Mi's face flushed slightly with anger. This was a gift from Chu Zihang! Made by his own hands!
Fortunately, Lu Mingfei was just trying to scare her.
He placed the snack box back into Xia Mi's arms and said earnestly:

"This is a crucial question; don't make things up."

"You don't want your senior brother to have no way to get revenge and end up foolishly going to the Arctic to die, right?"

Xia Mi: "..."

……

After a moment, Xia Mi truthfully recounted the information she knew.

Actually, she didn't know much.

Lu Mingfei had been bluffing her all along, but wasn't she also bluffing Lu Mingfei?

The main game is a contest of who can boast the most; the less you know, the more you win. Unfortunately, Xia Mi knows far too much...

According to Xia Mi's account, it is true that the Arctic was the center of power for dragons in ancient times. There once existed a vast continent there, where kings built magnificent palaces, which was also the homeland of dragons.

The continental plates of Asia and Europe today are merely 'remote mountainous areas' that have been granted as territories to the second and third generation species.

But with the death of the Black King, everything vanished; the entire continent disappeared.

The Arctic is now only left with frigid seawater.

After thousands of years, Xia Mi really didn't know what else was there.

"So, does that mean the dragon kingdom will only reappear when the Black King returns?"

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.

"That's how it is in theory... In short, the Black King's power is unimaginable. He is the source of all dragons and the source of all dragon runes. No one can defy him, and all miracles built using dragons can ultimately be used by him."

Xia Mi's body even trembled slightly when she mentioned that name.
Only holding the box of snacks could bring her a little warmth.

"So strong?"

Lu Mingfei carefully considered his tone, and didn't necessarily think that Xia Mi was exaggerating.

"But the Black King was still killed."

"Yes, so all those miraculous buildings became his burial goods, including our kingdom, our treasury... But to be honest, my memories of that time are a bit hazy, but I still feel that the Black King shouldn't have been killed by us; it's more like he deliberately chose to die..."

Xia Mi gave a dry laugh.

Intentional death?

Lu Mingfei fell into deep thought, referring to the historical records of human hybrids.

Nidhogg, the Black Dragon King, was killed on his own throne, which was the mountain that was forever covered in ice and snow. His killer placed his enormous body on the mountaintop, with his wings hanging down to the foot of the mountain.

This is undoubtedly the form of a 'super-evolved' dragon.

On the day the Black King died, the crowd cheered, heralding the arrival of a 'new era'.

And the secret that Xia Mi revealed... was equally significant.

Or rather, it was her guess.

The Black King was not killed by the four monarchs in rebellion and the alliance of other unknown forces, but rather he chose death of his own volition, leaving behind a prophecy of his inevitable return—the Ragnarok. He is despair, and hell, his wings, adorned with human bones, blotting out the sky.

According to the little devil Lu Mingze, this is also the end of history. Not only humans, but dragons will also not escape the judgment of the Black King. This is the true Lord of Despair, wielding two watermelon knives, cutting from the North Pole to the South Pole, killing anyone and anything he sees, his main principle being to treat everyone equally.

Lu Mingfei frowned.

They constantly try to piece together the truth from the riddle teller's fragmented words and the confused person's guesses.

"So what do you think Odin could be doing in the North Pole? Is he researching how to open up that continent ahead of time?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

"I really don't know," Xia Mi said with a mournful face.

"No, you definitely know."

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "If I make a slightly more plausible guess, I'll decide to allocate this year's scholarship to you in advance."

"Uh……"

Xia Mi froze for a moment before saying, "Alright, I do have a guess. If it's Odin, he might be able to find a way to unlock a part of his 'kingdom'."

……

After Xia Mi left,

Nuwa said thoughtfully, "I really know quite a lot about this first generation of beings."

"During the ancient dragon era, the four monarchs actually corresponded to the four seasons: the King of the Ocean and Water corresponded to winter, and the King of the Sky and Wind corresponded to spring. At a specific time, their divine kingdoms would appear in the world."

"Perhaps she's a direct relative of the King of Earth and Mountains... a relative, you know what I mean."

Lu Mingfei did his best to cover for Xia Mi.

This woman's wording is really not very sophisticated, especially the tone when she talks about the Dragon King. It sounds too pretentious and can't be fooled by Nuwa's wisdom. The only thing that can still firmly prove Xia Mi's innocence is probably her hard power.

Nuwa shook her head, not dwelling on the issue, since Xia Mi had always appeared harmless.

She picked up another document.

"According to our intelligence network in Europe, the last time the nuclear-powered icebreaker YAMAL you mentioned was at the end of March in Oslo, Norway. It was then chartered by a newly established research company to conduct a nine-month polar scientific expedition. It is currently wandering in the depths of the Arctic Ocean and transmits its location information back to land every two weeks. The ship's course is very strange and completely unpredictable."

"Nine months at sea? No need to return to shore for supplies?"

Lu Mingfei was slightly surprised, not expecting that sailors lived such a life.

“Normally, ships at sea wouldn’t behave like this, but the YAMAL is an incredibly large vessel. It’s the most powerful ‘Arctic-class’ icebreaker built during the Soviet era, with a total of 11 decks. It’s like a skyscraper when it’s sailing at sea. However, based on our analysis of the YAMAL’s crew and its March procurement list, we believe that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will return to the mainland in the fall for a resupply, including fuel and food.”

"Autumn..."

Lu Mingfei nodded thoughtfully.

The annual board meeting of Kassel College is also held at that time.

Angers strongly invited Lu Mingfei to attend the next meeting.

“We have to keep an eye on the YAMAL; this ship is of great importance,” Lu Mingfei said.

"Intercept them before winter."

……

This time, Angers did not stay in the mainstream for long.

After meeting with Uesugi Erii, the old man gave Lu Mingfei some more information and then flew back to Paris to attend the party, completely satisfied.

Next came the height of summer, and with the students on holiday, the young-at-heart Deng generation was in a frenzy, with countless parties and dances awaiting him.

On the other hand, Angers is too lazy to deal with those small and medium-sized forces at the ceremony, and many people will probably be looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself... Moderates may be moderates, but when it comes to taking action, they will not hesitate to use their weapons.

It was mainly to give Lu Mingfei face.

A few days later, the unveiling ceremony of the orthodox school was successfully held. Young disciples from various orthodox families and wild hybrids from all over the country gathered in the palace complex of Tang City. Various forces either sent congratulatory telegrams or sent visitors. Nuwa, Lu Mingfei and others attended the ceremony and delivered important speeches.

Next comes the two-week summer short semester.

The format is similar to a regular summer camp, mainly to help these students get used to new group living. In particular, many wild hybrids, who are aware of their specialness early on, are prone to developing an inflated ego.

However, they will quickly return to normal here.

After all, strictly speaking, Lu Mingfei, who is an all-rounder with the advantages of "first in bloodline", "first in physical fitness test", "first in word magic", "first in alchemy", "first in actual combat", "first in wealth index" and so on, is also one of the freshmen.

Not to mention Erii, who appears to be as delicate as Lin Daiyu but could actually uproot a willow tree with one hand.

The mixed-race group is not without its problem children. Erii, who has difficulty speaking, does not stand out too much. On the contrary, because of her dark red eyes and long hair, she is known as a natural cosplay goddess and has extremely high popularity in the school.

Secondly, there's Zero, who's inseparable from her. The princess, as aloof as an iceberg, also enjoys consistently high popularity.

Next up is Xia Mi, an energetic girl whose appearance is the envy of countless women. Except for her lack of talent in the chest area, everything else about her looks like she stepped out of a manga. Her enthusiastic personality is the other extreme from the previous two.

The main reason for the low rating is that she was snatched up by a senior from another school.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the classroom, a laid-back coffee shop opened, and Su Xiaoqiang, who spent all her time auditing classes, was not on the list.

There are boys, there are girls, there is a world of martial arts, and there is gossip.

This is how a school should be, with everything moving in a healthy direction... Establishing a formal gossip forum will likely be a matter of time before the start of the semester in September, as the exchange students from Kassel College have plenty of experience with this.

……

Two weeks flew by.

At dinner time, we celebrated the successful conclusion of the summer short semester.

Nuwa held a grand banquet today to welcome her students, and instead of eating in the canteen, she cooked a special meal for them in the villa that belonged to Lu Mingfei.

"Try it! These are all authentic Shanghainese dishes. Look at this crispy and fragrant stir-fried chicken, look at this crispy on the outside and tender on the inside stir-fried eel, look at this stir-fried and fragrant fried pepper pork intestines... It's absolutely authentic!"

The dishes on the table were visibly plentiful, imbued with a strong sense of home cooking.

As if afraid that everyone would be worried, Nuwa quickly added, "I had the kitchen do it; I didn't do it myself."

Lu Mingfei almost burst out laughing.

He naturally knew that as the school affairs were on track, our Lord Nuwa had become idle again. Apart from playing games, she liked to tinker with the kitchen when she had nothing to do. Unfortunately, in this aspect, her talent was almost the same as Su Xiaoqiang's.

On the contrary, Ling once showed off her Russian-style borscht... also known as Russian soup, which was quite sweet and sour and refreshing, showing a level of skill comparable to that of a court chef.

This further provoked Nuwa and Su Xiaoqiang.

During this period, Nuwa and Su Xiaoqiang formed their own faction, maintaining a semblance of harmony with the two "outsiders" on the surface, without engaging in any life-or-death struggles. However, they still had no qualms about competing in these small details of daily life.

"Little sister Ling, are you used to the food from the Central Plains region?"

Nuwa smiled and said, "If you don't like the food, just say so. I can ask the kitchen to prepare some local Russian dishes. We recently hired a few master chefs, so you can help check their skills."

"No need, Lady Nuwa is too kind."

Zero remained calm and composed, while placing a piece of stir-fried chicken on Erii's plate.

“I don’t have high expectations for food.”

She knew that this older-looking girl was simply trying to show off her status as a senior and the head of the Zhou family, implying that her power and position were limitless.

Incidentally, I'll remind her that she comes from a foreign country and is essentially an 'outsider,' and then label her as picky.

Zero wasn't too bothered by this. First, in terms of appearance and age, Nuwa was no match for her—that was one victory. Second, if it came down to who was easier to raise, this pampered young lady couldn't possibly compare to a warrior reborn from ice and ashes—that was another victory. Two victories over Zero, making it four victories...

She picked up a piece of eel tail with bones in her chopsticks, crunching away the meat and bone together. Zero gave a slight nod to Nuwa, demonstrating that she wasn't picky and that her teeth and digestive system were strong enough to survive on anything. Unlike her two 'predecessors,' Zero never intended to pretend to be a lady. In the short-term combat class, her fighting skills revealed a bloody and cruel side that didn't match her appearance.

Nuwa secretly rolled her eyes in her heart.

What a vulgar fellow!

She had always disliked this platinum-haired woman... The thing that Nuwa hated most in her life was someone who could act younger than her!
"Why eat the tail? It's not like there aren't other parts of the body to eat."

Nuwa maintained her smiling face as she served food to Ling, her tone sharp as a knife: "Sister Ling, of course you deserve the best."

Ling looked at the food in her bowl, hesitated for a moment, and then said thank you.

"Thank you."

She didn't insist on her obsession with cleanliness at this time.

Nuwa: "..."

Erii was about to pick up her notebook to write when Zero pressed her back down. She could only silently gnaw on her chicken, her expression a mix of adorable confusion and bewilderment. Wasn't it said that sarcasm was bad manners? One should not speak ironically to those close to them.

"Focus on your meal."

"Cuckoo."

Lu Mingfei was too busy eating to care about their subtle power struggles.

Thankfully, Erii was there to act as a lubricant, otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

Although I always feel like the lubricant's shelf life is almost up...

Su Xiaoqiang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly put down her chopsticks: "By the way, Lu Mingfei, you have a holiday these two days. Do you want to go to Portugal with me? I told you before."

As soon as the empress, who sat in the head seat, spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.

Lu Mingfei also put down his chopsticks.

Portugal?
He remembered that such a thing had happened.

Earlier this year, the little fairy said she wanted to take me to meet her mother.

In June, at the ceremony of the orthodox school, Su Xiaoqiang's mother's family sent people to offer their congratulations.

The Oliveira family from Portugal.

In terms of size, this family is not large and its overall bloodline is not strong. In modern times, it mainly relies on scientific weapons to participate in dragon battles.

Su Xiaoqiang didn't recognize the person who came, and the other party was unaware of Su Xiaoqiang's existence, so Lu Mingfei wasn't too enthusiastic and didn't offer much preferential treatment.

Seeing Lu Mingfei tilt his head and remain silent for a long time,
Su Xiaoqiang wasn't in a hurry and quietly waited for him to make a decision.

She knew that Lu Mingfei seemed to be conducting some kind of experiment lately, spending all his time on the seventh basement floor of the Weapon Refining Pavilion, acting like it was something terrifying and important. He wouldn't even let her go down there, as Lu Mingfei had long since taken over the floor reserved for Nuwa.

After a long silence, Lu Mingfei finally smiled and said, "Of course I'll go!"

Erii immediately picked up her notebook and showed off the Chinese characters she had written on it.

"I want to travel!"

"You also want to go to Portugal?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

He recently made a second modification to the Roaring Tiger Fang Spear. As the saying goes, work and rest should be balanced. He plans to go out for a walk to relax, while Shadow Warrior No. 1 can continue his research at home.

But the question is, since this trip to Portugal is to meet the Little Fairy's family, should the other girls come along?
What should we call them then? Should we just call them father-in-law and mother-in-law?
I always feel weird...

"If you want to go, everyone should go together. Consider it a relaxing trip."

Su Xiaoqiang didn't dwell on the question at all and nodded without hesitation, saying, "Porto is a port city with lots of delicious food and fun things to do. There are also traditional festivals every June and July."

Erii's eyes immediately light up at the mention of delicious food or fun activities.

During this time, Erii exchanged ideas with classmates from all over the world and developed a great interest in the customs and cultures of other places around the world. While munching on Xizhilang fruit jelly, she aspired to become a traveler.

"I am still……"

Nuwa was hesitating. As a homebody, she was actually not fond of traveling far from home.

Ling nodded calmly, indicating that he had also gone.

Nuwa immediately became alert and changed her mind.

"Okay, I'll make some preparations then. We'll see whether to take a ship or a plane."

……

"Wait, honey! You and Lu Mingfei are coming tomorrow?"

Su Jiannan received the call in the early hours of the morning.
Recently, he put aside his work at the Su Group and went to Portugal to meet his wife. The two were lying in bed at a hotel in Porto when they were suddenly awakened by a phone call.

Their daughter's ringtone had a high level of access, bypassing the silence function and giving the couple quite a fright.

Su Jiannan turned on the bedside lamp, rubbed his dizzy head, and stammered.

"Oh, you're arriving the day after tomorrow... Welcome! Of course you're welcome! Your mother has been missing you a lot lately. Uh, she was planning to go back to China for a visit."

"By the way, Xiaoqiang, are you getting used to things over there? Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Dad will always support you... and Mom supports you too. We've always kept other options open for you. Just a word from you and your acceptance letter will be in your hands tomorrow..."

"Okay, okay, nothing! Your mom and I are sleeping, haha, we won't bother you..."

After a moment, they may have realized that something was wrong.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't ramble on for too long. She said goodnight and hung up the phone.

Under the bedside lamp, the couple remained silent for a moment.

"...Xiaoqiang is coming to Portugal."

Su Jiannan put down his phone, rubbed his eyes, and lay back down, muttering some kind of reason.

"Hey, Lao Su, why is our daughter's boyfriend suddenly coming? You should have stopped them earlier. We could have just gone back to China to see them."

The woman with long, golden curly hair stopped arguing, but still nudged her husband's shoulder with a hint of complaint.

“Evely…”

Su Jiannan opened his mouth silently in the darkness, as if he wanted to say something.

He paused for a while, then shut his mouth, leaning back against the pillow with a somewhat complicated expression.

He knew what his wife meant.

Su Xiaoqiang's mother is named Evely Oliveira. Her bloodline is not strong. In terms of blood relations, her biological father once competed for the position of patriarch and can be considered a direct descendant of the family.

It is precisely because of this that she understands even more the coldness and warmth of human relationships in the world of mixed-race people. Theories about bloodlines and strength are commonplace in any mixed-race family or power.

Fortunately, with the changing times, for small families like Oliveira's, bloodline is no longer the sole factor determining a person's fate. Sometimes, intelligence is more useful than mere strength. Su Xiaoqiang's mother was also quite successful in business, and her acquaintance with Su Jiannan stemmed from a business collaboration when they were young.

This is why Su Xiaoqiang's mother's decision to marry an ordinary person did not encounter much opposition, and she was even able to place two butlers and secretaries trained by the Oliveira family around Su Jiannan.

But no matter how times change, in the world of mixed-race people, bloodline still holds a very important position.

Therefore, every time Su Jiannan came to Porto, he was unwilling to stay at Oliveira's core estate.

It's not that you can't live there, but it's really unnecessary.

"Hey, talk to me, Lao Su."

The blonde woman nudged the person next to her again, her words clearly carrying a hint of complaint.

“You told me before how great your daughter’s boyfriend was, but things have progressed too fast. Why didn’t you tell me, your mother, at all? If I hadn’t gone back to China in April, I might still be in the dark.”

"Also, what's the deal with Xiaoqiang going to university? Didn't you say before that you were going to study in the US or the UK? Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford... you clearly have connections there, what's wrong with getting a degree from these prestigious universities?"

Listening to his wife's incessant nagging,
Su Jiannan fell silent.
In the wife's mind, her daughter's boyfriend was a high school classmate. He was probably a pure-blooded human with a decent family background, but nothing compared to the Oliveira family. He was a model young man. When she returned to China, he happened to be abroad on a business trip, which is why they didn't get to meet and have a meal together.

After a long pause, Su Jiannan finally responded in a low voice, "What's the use of telling me this? You know what kind of personality our girl has, just like you. Back when you married me, who in your family dared to stop you? Now that Xiaoqiang is choosing her own partner, do you think I can have a say in anything?"

"Can that be the same!"

Evelyn immediately pinched Su Jiannan's lower back, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Get this straight, do you think they dare not stop me? My father has six other children besides me, and my bloodline isn't meant to carry on the family line, so of course they don't care! But we only have Xiaoqiang as our daughter!"

Seeing that his wife was getting increasingly agitated,
Su Jiannan quickly turned around with a forced smile, no longer daring to joke around.
"No, no, no... There's no need to worry. Do you really think our daughter is a vegetarian? She has very high standards. Don't worry, Lu Mingfei is a true dragon among men. Let alone a son-in-law, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he has three heads and six arms, can breathe fire and ride wheels."

Su Jiannan gently hugged his wife and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, that boy is of excellent character in every way. I've vetted him for you."

"Such high ratings? Really?"

Evelyn paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, could this young man be a legitimate member of the Zhou family?"

Then her brows furrowed again. "That's not right, but his surname is Lu."

Upon hearing this, Su Jiannan chuckled softly again.

In fact, in the past six months, he has been able to get on the good side of the Zhou family, and his influence in Binhai and even the entire Southeast region can be described as soaring... Such amazing development naturally caught the attention of his wife who returned to China in April. Su Jiannan knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply admitted to the cooperative relationship with the Zhou family.

Of course, to put it nicely, it's called cooperation; in reality, it's just being someone else's vassal.

But what's the big deal? Working for the Oliveira family or the Zhou family is essentially working for the world of mixed-race people. Changing platforms might actually open up more possibilities.

Evelyn wanted to say something, but unfortunately, the Oliveira family hadn't been of much help during the Chen family incident.

Being able to use this opportunity to get close to the Zhou family, who are at the height of their power in the entire mixed-race world, is not necessarily a bad thing... That's the only way Evelyn could understand it.

Judging from her husband's words, is there a deeper reason behind the cooperation between the Su Group and the Zhou family? Is it even related to Xiaoqiang's boyfriend?
"So, when they come the day after tomorrow, should we let them stay at the manor or a hotel?"

Evelyn hesitated and said, "If I want to stay at the manor, I have to let them know in advance."

Su Jiannan remained silent and smiled.

Although the person he was facing at this moment was his wife, he still kept his promise and did not reveal this secret, which should have been common knowledge in the 'upper-class mixed-race society'. As a businessman, integrity was a crucial factor.

Anyway... once Lu Mingfei arrives, all of his wife's doubts will be answered.

Consider it a small surprise.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, who would have thought that Su Jiannan would one day be able to turn his life around thanks to his son-in-law!

……

"Reporting to the Nuwa, Mr. Lu's invitation has been sent to the Oliveira family."

"Tang City," a member of the Zhou family respectfully reported.

"good."

Nuwa waved her hand, signaling for them to step back.

As Lu Mingfei was traveling to Portugal openly and legitimately, he naturally had to send a formal invitation to the local family. According to orthodox custom, this was a sign of respect.

As expected, upon receiving news that Mr. Lu was coming to Porto, the other party immediately expressed their sincerest welcome and stated that the head of the Oliveira family, along with all the direct descendants of the family, would be waiting for Mr. Lu at the airport.

Given the difference in status between the Zhou family and the Oliveira family, such a grand reception ceremony is by no means an exaggeration.

The old clan chief felt truly honored by Lu Mingfei's formal "visiting letter".

After all, Lu Mingfei has appeared before mixed-race forces around the world twice recently, both times under the banner of orthodoxy. In a sense, Lu Mingfei represents the Zhou family and orthodoxy.

This was because Lu Mingfei had concealed the fact that Nuwa would also be traveling with them in his invitation.

Otherwise, the old patriarch would probably have brought along all the women of the Oliveira family as well, and then laid out a red carpet from the airport all the way to the manor gate.

Everyone had finished packing and was ready to head to the airport to board their flight. They hadn't brought much luggage, only some changes of underwear and casual clothes. As stated in the reply, the Oliveira family would do their utmost to prepare everything for their distinguished guests.

Even if the Oliveira family is unreliable, the CEO of the Su Group is still in Porto.

Nuwa had a pretty good impression of this 'President Su'.

This middle-aged man is very steady in his work, giving people the impression that he is meticulous and thorough.

There weren't many people on the trip.

Since it was a family tour, no one else was brought along.

Chu Zihang stayed in China. He's a man who takes relationships very seriously. A couple of days ago, he and a certain Dragon King enjoyed a grand fireworks show at Tang City and took the opportunity to make a statement—

"Should we give it a try and start a serious romantic relationship?"

"I don't mean that we weren't lovers before, it's just that the relationship hadn't been officially confirmed."

"A romantic relationship refers to a voluntary and ongoing interaction between lovers. It is generally characterized by the expression of strong affection and the occurrence or expectation of sexual intercourse..."

Such viewpoints are presented.

Then, Ms. Xia Mi, who was engrossed in the dating simulation game, naturally showed a bright smile and chose to respond with a hug. Their hair became intertwined, and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

The onlookers captured this wonderful moment for them.

Recently, Chu Zihang is planning to take Xia Mi back to Binhai to meet his mother.

But apart from Su Xiaoqiang, Nuwa, Ling, and Erii.

Lu Mingfei ultimately forced himself to bring another person along—Old Tang.

As Lu Mingfei's thinking became more interconnected with the Shadow Warrior, his research into the rules of the mind deepened.

He discovered a very interesting problem.

Norton.

It seems to have woken up.
