A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 226 What if she marries the current head of the family?

It was mealtime, so Lu Mingfei, who had just returned from the airport, packed up some food from the hotel restaurant and brought it to Caesar's room: "Boss, it's time to eat."

It still doesn’t work!
Lu Mingfei pursed his lips awkwardly. Recently, Lu Mingfei saw online that in college dormitories, roommates had to call their fathers or something similar before they would help bring food to their roommates.

But Lu Mingfei simply couldn't bring himself to say such things to Boss Caesar!

Caesar stood up from his computer, his expression somewhat unpleasant: "Nono, are you at the restaurant?"

Lu Mingfei's expression also became unnatural: "Ah, I went to the Chinese restaurant with Senior Brother Fingel, but I didn't see Senior Sister."

Because it was a publicly funded trip, Ang Lei ensured they stayed in five-star hotels, which often have multiple restaurants and eateries.

Caesar nodded, took the takeout box from Lu Mingfei, and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a few seconds before tentatively asking, "Boss, are you thinking about a marriage alliance?"

He was at the airport that morning, and what he saw and heard was clearer than what Caesar saw through the surveillance cameras. He naturally knew that the Chen family was going to marry their daughter to the Gattuso family.

It wasn't that he was sad or anything; Lu Mingfei was simply curious and gossipy at the moment.

Because Chen Motong, in order to play the role of digestion, gently guided Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya to help Lu Mingfei resolve the awkwardness at the graduation party, which also led to Lu Mingfei joining Kassel.

As a result, Lu Mingfei is not as infatuated with Chen Motong as he was in the original novel. Of course, as a normal male, he certainly has feelings for his senior sister, but that's all.

Later, upon learning that his boss, Caesar, had been pursuing Chen Motong, Lu Mingfei gave up his own little scheme.

"Can you keep this a secret for me?" Caesar opened the elegant rattan food box and casually took out the food. "I don't want Nono to know about this for now."

"Uh." Lu Mingfei's thought process didn't quite match Caesar's: "Boss, I mean, what if, just what if, this Chen family girl isn't Senior Sister Nuonuo?"

"Look, boss, the head of the Chen family, such a big shot, must have three palaces and six courtyards, right? He definitely has more than one daughter, right?"

Caesar turned his head with a strange look, glanced at Lu Mingfei, opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly became too lazy to speak.

However, considering that Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei usually have a good relationship and often chat with Lu Mingfei together, I'll just tell him.

“I am the heir to the Gattuso family.”

"?" Why are you suddenly showing off? In all of Kassel, who doesn't know that you, Caesar, are the next head of the Gattuso family?

Lu Mingfei blinked, thought for three seconds, and then bowed deeply: "Master, I am Lu Mingfei..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Caesar tore open the packaging impatiently, took out chopsticks, and poked Lu Mingfei repeatedly: "What on earth are you thinking?"

"Hey, what I mean is, did you see how arrogant the Chen family head was today? If the Chen family were to marry off their daughter to someone from another clan, what right would the Chen family have to be so arrogant?"

"There is only one possibility, and that is to marry me, to marry the young master of the Gattuso family, the future head of the Gattuso family. Only then would the head of the Chen family be so arrogant today."

Lu Mingfei immediately understood Caesar's meaning. Indeed, that made sense. If he were to marry someone else in the Gattuso family, it would have nothing to do with the head of the family or the young master. How could Chen Liyu act so arrogantly?

“But I still think Chen Liyu has more than one daughter. Even if she marries you, the eldest son, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be Nuo…”

Caesar waved his hand, interrupting Lu Mingfei: "I don't know why, but my family has always valued me a lot since I was a child. From childhood to adulthood, the Gattuso family has basically fulfilled all my requests."

"The bride chosen for me will definitely take into account my personal preferences and inclinations; it's impossible for me to just pick any girl to be my bride."

"So the bride chosen by the family will definitely be someone I like. I don't care how many daughters the Chen family head has, I only know one Nuonuo."

"Then the only person the family will choose for me is Nono."

"Ah, this..." Lu Mingfei's expression turned to one of sweat dripping from his bean-shaped face, wanting to complain that Caesar was too narcissistic.

In Lu Mingfei's understanding, such family marriages were all considered by the elders, so why would they care about Caesar's opinion?

Little did anyone know that Caesar was neither lying nor boasting. From childhood to adulthood, except for his mother's funeral, the Gattuso family had always provided for Caesar's every need.

But it was precisely because of his mother's funeral that Caesar developed a particular aversion to his elders.

As mentioned earlier, Caesar couldn't understand what Lu Mingfei was thinking and couldn't keep up with Lu Mingfei's thought process.

Then, Lu Mingfei had another strange idea: "What if, what if the Chen family is planning to marry their daughter to the current head of the family?"

"Crack!" The chopsticks that Caesar had taken out were snapped in two by Caesar's single hand. He used too much force, and the part in the middle that was under the force was broken into wood chips.

Marry Pompeii? That playboy father?
Believe it or not! It's really quite possible! Earlier, Lu Mingfei said that the Chen family head had another daughter, but Caesar didn't take it seriously.

Because there was absolutely no possibility of that, he was 100% certain that if the Chen family were to marry off their daughter, it would only be Chen Motong, so he remained unmoved.

But now that Lu Mingfei has said this, is it possible? Absolutely possible! Lu Mingfei might not know, but surely Caesar knows Pompeii Gattuso, that playboy? Pompeii is just that indiscriminate!
Caesar suddenly became a little defensive!

The mere thought of this possibility ignited an uncontrollable rage in Caesar.

This also aligns with the arrogant logic of the Chen family head, since the next family head is yet to come, and it will be quite some time before Caesar takes over.

By marrying their daughter directly to the current head of the family, the Chen family can now enjoy the support of the Gattuso family.

"!" Lu Mingfei's eyes almost popped out. He was so frightened by the broken chopsticks that he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."

Caesar tossed the chopsticks aside, shook his hands to remove any remaining wood shavings, and picked up a new pair: "Anyway, just keep it a secret for me, everything else..."

"Boom!" Before Caesar could finish speaking, a powerful explosion suddenly came from the lower level.

Caesar immediately dropped his lunchbox and rushed to another table, where his hunting knife and Desert Eagle were laid out, while simultaneously unleashing the Word of Power: Kamaitachi.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went to find his own gun when he saw that his boss had already picked up knives and guns.

"Norma! What's going on!" Caesar closed his eyes, fully expanding his Kamaitachi Domain, listening to the sounds outside the room, and asked loudly.

Norma's cold, mechanical female voice began to play through the computer speakers: "Connecting to hotel surveillance, rooms 1501-1507 on the 15th floor of the hotel are under attack by mixed-race firepower."

"The residents of rooms 1501-1507 are already in the database related to this operation; they are the Tamoan family from South America."

"Warning, warning! The attackers who attacked the Tamoan family have a separate team and are heading to the 18th floor of the hotel. Ninety-eight percent of them are targeting us. Please be prepared."

Lu Mingfei was genuinely confused about the situation; it was completely different from what had been agreed upon: "Weren't we here to fight the King of Earth and Mountains? Why are there hybrids attacking us?"

"Surely those mixed-race people aren't so outrageous as to think that the King of the Earth and Mountains is staying at our hotel?"

In contrast, Caesar was much more decisive, grabbing a grenade from the equipment department and heading out: "Norma, urgently notify everyone!"

"Have those still on the 18th floor join me in guarding the stairwell, and also cut off the elevator power to prevent the enemy from coming up. Have those still inside the hotel and on the other floors outflank the enemy's rear."

"Finally, report the total number of enemy troops and their approximate location."

Seeing Caesar's well-organized arrangements, Lu Mingfei swallowed hard in fear. No, were they really going to risk their lives?

At this moment, Lu Mingfei felt particularly regretful. Why didn't he eat more with his senior brother Fingel in the restaurant downstairs? Why did he have to rush to pack food up for Caesar?

Or should we just stay in the room? Caesar is guarding the stairs, so the room should be relatively safe.

However, when Lu Mingfei saw that Caesar had already opened the door and was about to leave, he remembered his Word of Power: Don't Die. He gritted his teeth, gripped the pistol in his hand, and followed him shakily.

I'm crazy!
On the 18th-floor corridor, the doors to different hotel rooms opened one by one. Chu Zihang and the other executive members, having received Norma's notification, came out fully armed.

Seeing so many people all at once, Lu Mingfei's wildly beating heart finally felt a little safer.

"Oh, is this how you welcome me? Thank you, thank you everyone." When everyone rushed to the stairs, they saw Principal Angers, dressed in a flashy bright green suit, smoking a cigar, and holding a middle-aged man by the back of his collar with his right hand.

They dragged the person up like a dead dog.

"Principal!" Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief as his heartbeat gradually returned to normal. It seemed that the principal had already dealt with all the enemies.

Caesar also trusted Principal Angers' abilities, but he still stepped forward, not letting his guard down completely: "Principal, what's going on?"

"It's nothing, the head of the Chen family just made a stupid mistake." Angers casually tossed the man to the ground: "I just asked him a few questions."

"It is said that the Chen family patriarch gave the order to send out all the mixed-bloods of the Chen family to drive out all mixed-blood forces outside the Gattuso family from the capital."

"?" Caesar didn't understand. How could someone become so arrogant after clinging to Gattuso's coattails? Even he, the young master of Gattuso, found it incomprehensible.

"?" Lu Mingfei was even more confused. No, were there really people killing each other on the front lines of the dragon-slaying campaign?

"..." Only Chu Zihang knew the truth. He silently looked away. The audience was really cunning. If he had the ability to be an audience member, he might be able to digest the Schemer's Potion very quickly.
