A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 395 Is he jealous of Lu Mingfei?
"O_o?" Lu Mingfei's head was buzzing. Caesar's father, Uncle Pompeii whom he had only met today, had also studied in Kassel back then? Was he their senior?
Not only that, Uncle Pompeii was even a rival for Lu Mingfei's father, Lu Lincheng, and had pursued Lu Mingfei's mother, Qiao Weini.

Following this logic, Lu Mingfei felt he had made a mistake. Just hypothetical, if Uncle Pompeii had succeeded back then, could he have become the young master of the Gattuso family—Mingfei Gattuso?

Could he drive a sports car and smoke cigars every day, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life?
Most importantly, Lu Mingfei will no longer have to live a lonely life staying with relatives, but can instead live a happy and fulfilling life with his biological parents by his side.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what his mother, Jovini, did. Even when he asked Principal Angers, the principal only said that his mother was on a secret mission and never told Lu Mingfei anything. But at least Lu Mingfei had seen Pompeii's concern for Boss Caesar.

No, no! Lu Mingfei shook his head, quickly suppressing his various hypothetical thoughts. Thinking about these things was meaningless. There are no "what ifs" in the world. Even if there were, even if Pompeii and Jovini got together, the child born wouldn't be Lu Mingfei; it could only be someone else.

Once he regained his senses, Lu Mingfei looked at Pompeii awkwardly. "Uncle, is this right? Is this something I can say to a junior? Your own son is even here!"
Thinking of Boss Caesar, Lu Mingfei quickly turned his head to carefully observe Boss Caesar's expression, fearing that Boss Caesar might have a problem with him.

As a result, Lu Mingfei noticed that Caesar's expression remained unchanged, as if it were commonplace, and he would not be affected by Pompeii's romantic history at all.

Noticing the wary look in Lu Mingfei's eyes, Caesar was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Lu Mingfei was wary of.

Caesar quickly figured out what Lu Mingfei was worried about, and shrugged nonchalantly, "Don't look at me."

"Although I hate to admit it, the truth is that my bastard father is a womanizer. He's either with women or on his way to find them every day."

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a relationship with any woman; I’ve even been forced to get used to his philandering.”

"囧!" Lu Mingfei was speechless. No, Caesar, is it really okay to openly criticize your father as a philanderer in front of your classmates?
But was Uncle Pompeii really such a womanizer?

Lu Mingfei immediately shattered the little idea of ​​'Mingfei Gattuso' in his mind, and suddenly felt that his biological father, Lu Lincheng, whom he had never met, was better, at least he wouldn't have a stepmother.

"Wait a moment, Caesar." Pompey was displeased. This unfilial son was slandering his old father, and he didn't want to be defamed. "There's something wrong with what you're saying. What do you mean I go looking for women every day? I came here today specifically to see if you were injured. Do you think you're a woman?"

Caesar's fist hardened: "And what about yesterday?"

Pompeii answered fluently: "Spa, the Ritz-Carlton's spa. What's wrong with that? Caesar, haven't you ever been to the Peninsula's spa?"

Caesar was speechless. He really had been to the Peninsula Hotel's spa! In front of his classmates, he couldn't deny it, so he could only clench his fists, still unwilling to admit defeat: "And what about the day before yesterday?"

"It's still the spa, I stayed there, I hardly ever went to the hotel rooms."

"Hoo..." Caesar exhaled a long breath, he didn't believe it: "What about before you came to Tokyo?"

“Egypt.” Pompey gave a different answer this time, becoming more and more excited as he spoke: “In Egypt, I met a very charming woman.”

"With her by my side, I also participated in secret auctions in Egypt and purchased top-quality collectibles in excellent condition."

Lu Mingfei couldn't contain his curiosity and wanted to know what the head of such a large family as Pompeii, a top-tier tycoon, usually collected: "How high-quality are they?"

“Let me find some photos for you.” Pompeii was very kind and wanted to satisfy Lu Mingfei’s curiosity. He took out his phone and said, “I have some in my album. Several female mummies! Absolutely top-quality! Their images are painted in gold on the stone outer coffins, and the things wrapped in the shrouds are intact.”

“Each one cost me over a million US dollars, but it was well worth it. There are very few female mummies in such good condition these days…”

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Lu Mingfei took two steps back and hurriedly called for a halt. What the heck? A mummy? Isn't that just a dried corpse?! Do the world's top billionaires collect such bizarre things?
Caesar, having reached his limit, spoke with increasing disgust: "So you're showing off? Showing off that you met a new girlfriend in Egypt?"

“If that’s all there is to it, I think we’ve heard enough and there’s no need to continue. You can go back and be with your Egyptian girlfriend as soon as possible.”

Pompeii didn't want Caesar to interfere with his plans. Despite his seemingly carefree and unrestrained appearance, he still needed to complete the tasks assigned to him by his true self: "How about I catch up with Mingfei first?"

"Please don't worry, and don't be jealous. You will always be my most beloved son, and I will never let Lu Mingfei take you away."

"I just want to talk to Mingfei about Qiao Weini, do you understand? It's been more than ten years since I've talked to anyone about Qiao Weini."

"I really miss this female classmate. She was my ideal girl back in school." Lu Mingfei's mouth dropped open in an exaggerated way, as if someone was about to force an apple into his mouth. No, his mother was that charming back then? Could she really be Uncle Pompeii's ideal girl?
"!" Caesar's forehead veins bulged clearly. Should Pompeii record it and play it back for himself to hear what he was saying? Was he jealous of Lu Mingfei? Was he afraid that Lu Mingfei would take his father away?
Damn it, did this bastard father do something to the mummy that damaged his brain due to the residual toxins from the female mummy?

Otherwise, how could someone say something so outrageous?
Beside them, Chu Zihang and Fingel exchanged glances. They knew perfectly well that Pompeii was a fake Pompeii created by a fellow believer through the Faceless Man's extraordinary abilities or through the Faceless Man's spell.

But this fellow believer's acting was superb, wasn't it? Even someone as perceptive as Caesar didn't have the slightest doubt, which shows that Pompeii in real life was just like that.

Chu Zihang simply thought his fellow believer was a great actor, while Fingel was intrigued by the Faceless Man's extraordinary abilities and felt he could try to buy a few talismans from Mr. Error and take them back to analyze and study them.

Chen Motong was speechless, just like Su Xi. She had originally wanted to help her fellow believers so that Caesar wouldn't become suspicious, but her fellow believers performed so well that they didn't need their help at all.

Only Lu Mingfei looked at Pompeii with hopeful eyes. After Pompeii's words, he was eager to learn about Qiao Weini's past, to know what kind of person his mother was, what she had done, how she got together with his father, and how she eventually conceived him.

Even though Pompeii only knew about his mother's past as a student, it was still invaluable to Lu Mingfei, because Lu Mingfei's impression of his parents was basically blank.

I know my parents' names, I saw a photo of them together in Angers and thus know what they look like, and that's it.

When Lu Mingfei asked Angers, he could only get the answer, "Your parents are both outstanding." Angers glossed over the rest of the details, seemingly unwilling to talk about Lu Mingfei's parents.

Every time Lu Mingfei asked about his parents when he was in a better mood after completing a mission, he would only get the answer that "they are on a top-secret mission," which meant that Lu Mingfei didn't know much about his parents.

It's not fair to blame Lu Mingfei, because from the time he could remember, his parents had sent him to live with his aunt. He had never experienced the so-called fatherly or motherly love, nor had he ever felt the happiness of being with his family.

During my elementary school years, there were parent-teacher conferences twice a year. Other children had their fathers or mothers come to accompany them to the conferences.

At that time, Lu Mingfei could only watch with envy and jealousy, sitting alone among a group of parents.

Lu Mingfei fantasized that one day, his parents would arrive at the elementary school in a fighter jet or a supercar, full of glory, standing on either side of him, holding his little hands, to participate in the elementary school parent-teacher conference.

As I grow up, I won't fantasize like that anymore, but I always hope that my parents can finish their work and come back to spend time with me.

Later, after joining Kassel College, he learned that his workaholic parents had left him at his aunt's house for many years to carry out a top-secret mission.

If Angers hadn't assured him that his parents were still alive, Lu Mingfei would have thought they were both dead.

Now that he had the chance to learn more, how could Lu Mingfei miss it? He approached Caesar somewhat nervously: "Boss, I want to..."

Caesar showed special consideration for Lu Mingfei, nodding to him to indicate that he didn't mind, and then turned away to give Lu Mingfei and Pompeii a quiet space to talk.

Seeing this, Chu Zihang and the others had no choice but to leave as well. At the same time, Chen Motong's virtual personality poked Fingel's Mind Island.

Fingel understood and activated the secret technique of telepathy to communicate. Although Chen Motong's virtual personality could communicate telepathically, Chen Motong was quite careful to exercise restraint in matters of the heart.

In emergencies or during battles, such concerns are less important, but under normal circumstances, Chen Motong is unwilling to casually infiltrate his friends' mental islands.

A gentle breeze carried Chen Motong's doubts: "Do you think this fellow believer is simply using the Qiao Weini incident to solidify his image in front of Caesar, or does the church have other plans for Lu Mingfei?"

Chu Zihang didn't participate in the discussion, but he pricked up his ears. Susie tapped her chin with her index finger: "It should be the former? Mr. Error only arranged for his fellow believers to impersonate Pompeii to stabilize the Gattuso family and the hidden half-blood forces, right? There were no other arrangements."

Fingel shook his head: "Both are possible. Instead of guessing, we should just ask at the next gathering."

"makes sense."
