Dragon Raja: Reboot

Chapter 29 Helping the Widow Get Up

The next morning.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the white gauze curtains, and Lu Mingfei opened his sleepy eyes.

The room was quiet and empty.

He turned his head to the side. The sheet his senior brother had slept on was perfectly flat, without a single dent, while Xia Mi's blanket was folded neatly, as if it had never been unfolded at all.

Oh dear, is this their first date?

He lazily stretched out his arms and legs, indulging himself in a starfish position.

It's definitely more comfortable to have such a big bed all to myself. I should have sent my senior brother to Xia Mi's bed last night, although that was unlikely.

"Someone, help me up," Lu Da Guanren called out lazily from his bed.

The door opened silently.

Lu Mingze pushed in a gleaming silver food cart.

He wasn't much taller than the food cart, but dressed formally in a white chef's uniform and a French-style chef's hat, he looked quite the part.

The little devil has very high standards for clothing and appearance, always dressing appropriately and in a way that leaves no room for criticism.

If he arrives wearing a suit with a white rose on his chest, he must be there to attend a funeral; if he arrives in a chef's uniform and hat, he must be there to serve Emperor Lu his meal.

"Little Zezi, help me get up, I'm so tired." Emperor Lu struck a pose, lazily raising a hand like a concubine in a palace drama, waiting for Little Zezi to help him up.

Xiao Zezi came running over excitedly, pulling his brother up while asking the Emperor what his breakfast would be like this morning.

Lu Mingfei leaned back on the pillows. "What has Xiao Zezi prepared for me?"

"Caviar with freshly baked whole-wheat toast, Danish pastry with raisins, pan-fried chicken breast with lemon juice, and Munich sausage," Lu Mingze said meticulously and attentively, like a butler. "Would you like coffee, milk and cereal, or kiwi juice?"

"Want some tofu pudding and fried dough sticks...that's impossible!" Lu Mingfei squinted, his tone suddenly shifting. "I want a feast! Quick, first, a medium-rare steak, I want the best Wagyu, then some crab roe soup dumplings. Don't glare, this is a fusion of East and West! As for drinks, give me a cup of soy milk, fresh!"

Lu Mingze's hand, which was resting on the silver clasp, suddenly froze.

"Brother, you've really gone too far!" the little devil said indignantly. "Don't you miss the tofu pudding and fried dough sticks from your hometown at all? Luckily you have your thoughtful little brother, I knew you wanted to eat tofu pudding and fried dough sticks!"

After saying that, he directly opened the silver clasp, not giving Lu Mingfei a chance to refute.

Under the lid was a set of Chinese white porcelain tableware, four perfectly fried dough sticks, two bowls of smooth tofu pudding, and several side dishes.

As for the toys that Lu Mingfei had requested, none of them were visible.

Lu Mingfei said disdainfully, "You think you can pass yourself off as an elephant just because you stick two garlic cloves in your nostrils?"

"How could that be? Our customer service is top-notch. Tofu pudding and fried dough sticks are your favorite, brother!" Lu Mingze jumped up and sat on the edge of the bed. "There are only two fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu pudding. The other half is for me."

Emperor Lu generously offered two fried dough sticks to Lu Mingze's mouth, saying gently, "Good boy, big brother is feeding you. Open your mouth, ah—"

Lu Mingze looked down at the fried dough sticks, then looked up at his brother, and started to move his butt outwards.

"It's just some yellow mustard, what's the big deal? Have you forgotten what your brother taught you since you were little—that a true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life?"

Lu Mingfei spoke seriously, his eyes filled with regret for his disappointing younger brother.

"Brother, that's what Mr. Lu Xun said!" The little devil's eyes darted around, trying to change the subject.

"No matter who said it today, you're getting your hands on these fried dough sticks!" Lu Mingfei sneered. "Do you know what the punishment is for plotting against your lord?"

I still remember in my previous life, I was happily enjoying the perfect combination of fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, never expecting that some traitor would spread a thick layer of mustard sauce inside the fried dough sticks.

Overwhelmed with sorrow, tears streamed down my face.

Do you think I'd let you, a little thief, ruin things if I had to start over?

Seeing that the little devil still wanted to put up a fight, Lu Mingfei staged a scene of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, grabbing Lu Mingze from behind and forcibly stuffing half a fried dough stick into his mouth.

Lu Mingze had teary eyes, looking like he had been abused by his brother.

Lu Mingfei scooped up a large spoonful of tofu pudding and squinted his eyes contentedly. A hint of spiciness rose up, and the taste was just like the Anhui breakfast stall near his uncle's house.

This is also a little bit of happiness!

Life is worth living!

Lu Mingze wiped away his tears, sneezing incessantly, and said, "Brother, I came here to provide you with free services, but you've hurt me so deeply!"

Emperor Lu glanced at him sideways and said slowly, "If it weren't for the fact that you're my brother, I would have executed you long ago. How dare you try to assassinate me! You're utterly lawless!"

"Achoo—never mind, I won't argue with you, brother... Achoo!!" Lu Mingze sneezed one after another. "You have an event to attend later, I'm here to borrow money from you."

"No," Lu Mingfei replied crisply.

"Don't want to?" Lu Mingze was surprised.

"The Seven Deadly Sins are in your possession, aren't they? Why don't you just give them to me directly instead of this auction?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.

"Brother, how do you even know this?" Lu Mingze was even more surprised.

"Actually, when I was six years old, I met an old man who took ten yuan from me..."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, just as he was about to launch into a long speech, when his younger brother raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I know, I know, calculating everything from heaven and earth to love, brother, are you trying to become a charlatan? Then how about you calculate your own love line and see where it lies?"

The little devil looked at me with a "Brother, you're so childish, but I have no choice but to play along. It's so frustrating."

"Ahem, to be honest, I've actually calculated it." Lu Mingfei said awkwardly.

This was truly shocking to Naruzawa.

"Brother, please don't tell me it's Nono."

"How could that be? I have a heart full of sincerity towards my senior sister, and I have absolutely no desire for her beauty!" Lu Mingfei swore to the heavens.

"Who is that?"

"The time is not right, it cannot be said, it cannot be said."

"Brother, you've changed so much!"

"Don't you like it?"

"I love it!"

"That settles it then." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, signaling Xiao Zezi to step back and not disturb him while he was drinking tofu pudding.

"However, the brother should still be auctioned off!"

"uh-huh?"

Lu Mingze said with a serious face, "Brother, don't get it wrong. I'm your own brother, so my money is your money, right? But what about the Secret Party? The Secret Party isn't your parent company. The Secret Party's money is still the Secret Party's money, and it has nothing to do with you. Why are you trying to save money for the Secret Party?"

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, put down his bowl, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

like……

That's really true!

What does it matter to him how much money the Secret Service has? They won't spend it on him anyway. In the end, he'll still have to fight the Secret Service. Only if he wins will those stubborn old men sit down and listen to him. If he doesn't win, those bastards will run all over the world just to hunt him down.

He couldn't find a single reason to save the party money.

"How do we divide it? Fifty-five?" Lu Mingfei raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.

Lu Mingze's eyes widened, tears streaming down his face. He said aggrievedly, "Brother, are you going to separate from me? Isn't my money your money too? Why do we have to split it?"

Lu Mingfei sneered, "What you just said was 'borrowing' money from me!"

Lu Mingze feigned ignorance and said, "No, right? Brother, did you hear me wrong?"

Lu Mingfei was too lazy to argue with this kid. He patted the little devil's head and said:

"Alright, alright, I don't want to split it anymore. Anyway, the money comes from the same source, and you'll still have to worry about your sister-in-law's affairs later."

Lu Mingze asked in surprise, "Brother, you really have a sister-in-law?"

"Be good, listen to me, and I'll let your sister-in-law give you wedding candy later," Lu Mingfei said with a smile.

Lu Mingze scratched his head and jumped off the bed.

"This temporary Word of Power, 'Show me the money,' in StarCraft, will give you 10,000 ore and gas. This Word of Power will give you 10,000 dollars in assets and can be used repeatedly. Also, someone left you a note at the front desk, which I brought up for you on the way. It's on the dining car."

"See you later, brother."

He tiptoed to the door, turned around at the doorway, and said with a kind smile:

"I'm really looking forward to the day I meet my sister-in-law. When that day comes, I'll definitely give you both a big red envelope!"

"Oh, and remember to bring that phone, brother, so we can stay in touch!"
