Dragon Raja: Reboot

The man was instantly shocked: "What? My junior brother has someone backing him? Isn't my junior brother just an ordinary, clean-cut young man with no connections or background?"

"Clean background? Then tell me, what are Lu Mingfei's parents' names, where are they, and who has seen them?" Han Gao asked one by one on the other end of the phone.

"Well, apart from the first one, my junior brother himself probably doesn't know the answers to these three questions. He hasn't seen his parents in a long time either," the man said awkwardly.

"That's settled then!" Han Gao put down his wine glass. "I do have some clues about his parents' identities, but it will take a long time to continue the investigation. However, something very strange happened at the auction."

"Explain in detail!"

Henkel organized his thoughts and slowly said:

"Before the auction officially began, we checked the deposits frozen in the banks of all the guests. After Lu Mingfei arrived late, we specifically checked his deposit again. At that time, he only had $200 million. But when we checked it again during the auction, that number instantly soared to $200 million. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to win. After I noticed something was wrong with him, I deliberately had someone make things difficult for him. But he not only got rid of the difficulties, but also gave us a warning!"

"When the hammer fell and the money was transferred, it wasn't Lu Mingfei's account that paid out, but the account of Kassel College in Zurich Bank. When we checked Lu Mingfei's account for the third time, we found that there was only $200 million left."

The man shifted to a more comfortable position and continued lying down. "The bank's computer system was hacked?"

"No, the computer system is working perfectly, and we have shares in Zurich Bank, so the amount is definitely accurate."

"So someone wired him money, who transferred 100 million to Lu Mingfei and then transferred it away? Don't you own shares in him?"

"We investigated, and the results were quite interesting. In that instant, in just a few seconds, approximately 25 million retail investors across stock markets worldwide, from the Americas to Europe to Asia, inexplicably transferred $4 from their accounts to Lu Mingfei, totaling $100 million. These transfers were then automatically returned."

"Wow, that's a really ingenious method! Who came up with this fancy idea? A hacker? Or the school?"

"I didn't know, that's why I asked you to designate Lu Mingfei as a key target for investigation."

"Okay, okay! By the way, I'm a bit short on cash lately, Sheriff, do you mind... Hey, damn it, don't hang up!"

……

……

The restaurant was quiet.

This Baroque-style hall is large enough to accommodate 1000 people at the same time, but at this moment there is only one diner.

Lu Mingfei was leaning over the end of the long dining table, eating heartily.

He got Fingel drunk by noon and extracted a lot of British intelligence from him. Fingel is still fast asleep in his dormitory.

Lu Mingfei, who has a particular fondness for late-night snacks, could only come alone, and his attitude towards food was as ruthless as a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The plate contained a whole chicken, a piece of smoked pork leg, a beef burger, a vegetable salad, and a large portion of mashed potatoes...

He had to admit that he really missed the school food. It was delicious and inexpensive. Although it didn't taste as good as the authentic food from his hometown, it was a delicacy compared to the various canned foods available after the apocalypse.

Next to the food were two figurines of Asahina, one in a maid outfit and the other in a bunny girl outfit.

It looks like this guy is deliberately enjoying a feast under the watchful eye of his beloved figurines...

A beautiful figure suddenly pounced on him.

"Waaaaah! It's my beloved Asahina!" Natsumi pounced on the table, grabbing both Asahina figures into her arms.

"Ahem! One of them is mine, and you only have one, but your senior brother is generous and will let you choose first."

Lu Mingfei took a sip of orange juice to calm his nerves.

"Senior Brother Lu is so generous, how about giving me both of them?" Xia Mi blinked her bright eyes, trying to get away with it by being cute.

Lu Feiming wiped his mouth with a napkin and said nonchalantly, "Can you afford two figurines?"

The cruel words shattered the girl's beautiful fantasy. Her right hand trembled as she slowly pushed the bunny girl toward her senior brother, her gaze as lingering and reluctant as if they were parting forever.

Lu Mingfei leisurely stuffed the remaining bunny girl items into his pocket and said politely, "Junior sister, sit down and have some."

"OK!"

However, Xia Mi's almost instantaneous reply made Lu Mingfei choke. He exclaimed in surprise, "So impolite?"

"Why be so polite with your senior brother!" Xia Mi sat opposite Lu Mingfei, clenched her fists, ready for battle, and tore off half a chicken with her hands, then brought over a vegetable salad.

"Don't you need to lose weight to maintain your figure? Eating late-night snacks will make you gain weight!" Lu Mingfei looked at the half chicken he had lost because of those damned polite words, feeling extremely distressed.

Xia Mi was already engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the chicken leg, and mumbled, "I was originally going to lose weight, but Senior Brother Chu said that if I continued to lose weight, it might cause infertility, and advised me not to lose weight anymore."

"Pfft!" Lu Mingfei immediately spat out a mouthful of orange juice, followed by a violent cough.

Xia Mi nimbly dodged the incoming orange juice attack, while rolling her eyes at Lu Mingfei.

"Cough...no...cough cough, what did my senior brother say to you?" Lu Mingfei didn't care about the half chicken he had lost; his face was filled with horror.

Xia Mi blushed slightly and whispered, "He said that given my height, if I lose any more weight, my body fat percentage will be below 22%. According to data from Harvard Medical School, women with a body fat percentage below 22% are prone to infertility."

Lu Mingfei blinked, so that's what it meant... He thought his senior brother had said something shocking again.

"Isn't weight a girl's secret? How did he know?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

Xia Mi said shyly, "I twisted my ankle when I came to school, and my senior brother carried me on his back."

"Oh~" Lu Mingfei looked at his junior sister meaningfully.

"What are you looking at! It's just a sprained ankle!" Xia Mi said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Junior sister, I saw you discussing that Jade Record with your senior brother last time. Are you very interested in the ancient books of the Dragon Clan?" Lu Mingfei lowered his head again and continued his bloody battle.

"It's alright," Xia Mi said, pulling over the untouched vegetable salad.

"Junior sister, do you have any knowledge of Celtic mythology?" Lu Mingfei asked, looking up.

"Celtic mythology?" Xia Mi shook her head. "I've heard of it, but I haven't delved into it deeply. Although it's listed alongside Norse and Greek mythology, it's actually a very obscure mythology."

"Unpopular?"

"Yes, it's a very niche subject. Its transmission mostly relies on word of mouth, with very little written material. There aren't many proper Chinese materials about it in China."

"Actually, I've recently become quite interested in Celtic mythology, but I haven't found a way to learn more about it," Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Huh? Senior, aren't you a humanities major?" Xia Mi tilted her head and asked curiously, "A humanities major who isn't good at history? What subject are you particularly interested in, Senior?"

"Are myths considered history?"

"Myths related to dragons are history."

"Holy crap, junior sister, what you said makes so much sense!"

"Hmph, don't idolize me too much!"

"Junior sister, could you tell me the legend of King Arthur?"

"Huh? King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table?" Xia Mi put down her fork, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Strictly speaking, the legend of King Arthur originated from Celtic mythology, but it cannot be considered a complete part of it."

"What do you mean? Explain in detail!" Lu Mingfei adopted a dignified posture, placing his hands on his thighs, striking a pose like a good student listening attentively to a lecture.

Xia Mi thought for a moment and said, "It is said that King Arthur himself was indeed a Celt, but the Arthurian legend is a later heroic legend, and is more of a product of multicultural fusion. You can think of it as a novel written by later generations based on history. Senior brother, you must have read Water Margin, right?"

"I understand!" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized.

Xia Mi continued, "The legend of King Arthur has many elements of Celtic mythology, but they are not entirely the same. Senior brother, are you more interested in Celtic mythology or King Arthur?"

"Of course it's King Arthur!" Lu Mingfei said seriously. "I love Saber the most! Saber is the best!"
