"You called me specifically because you have something to say?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“We’ve already lost a number of our executives, and we’re short-staffed. We’ve already started selecting new people ahead of schedule. I can’t let the executives keep losing people.”

“The data sent by the Japanese branch recently cannot be verified. I suspect they are being hypocritical. Once I’ve recovered, you come with me to Tokyo and let them see the ‘number one’ of the new generation!”

“Currently, a group of executives have been lost at one location. You are the only ones stronger than them, so we need you to make a trip there.”

"I can go by myself, there's no need to go through all that trouble." Lu Mingfei didn't mind bringing a few accessories, but he couldn't bring anything cumbersome.

"That's impressive. No wonder he's the grandson I've chosen. But this time it won't work. Newcomers without experienced mentors are very likely to die during missions. You're familiar with the people accompanying you this time. It's Chu Zihang, and the newcomer Xia Mi."

"The main objective this time is to complete the mission; everything else is up to you."

"You wouldn't mind if I brought the Dragon King along?" Lu Mingfei casually remarked.

“If you have the ability to command the Dragon King, what’s wrong with taking him?” Angers added after a brief silence, “I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Nuwa took the phone back from Lu Mingfei, rubbed her heavy eye bags, and said casually:

"The special plane is ready and can take off at any time."

Despite being a teenage girl, she was tormented by the heavy workload to the point of losing her "human form," even though she never actually had one... Her eyes were always on work, day and night, without a break. Even a mixed-race person with iron will couldn't withstand such heavy pressure as work.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she forced a smile as she looked at Lu Mingfei, appearing as if she were on the verge of collapse.

"Do you want to rest for a bit?" Lu Mingfei was worried that the girl might go crazy at any moment and whip him.

"Rest? I don't need to rest, I'm fine!" Nuwa's tail tip slapped the ground rapidly. "I need to handle all the affairs related to the company's establishment, as well as reports of mixed-race disturbances from various places, and keep an eye on the global mixed-race landscape. I also need to worry about whether the Secret Party will suddenly disband, or whether a Dragon King will suddenly appear somewhere..."

Soon, a dent appeared where Nuwa's tail tip had struck her, but she didn't notice and continued doing her thing.

"Oh... I can set up a few chairmen to help me handle these things!" Nuwa suddenly realized and swam away, leaving Lu Mingfei standing there bewildered.

What is Nuwa here for...? I think she's here to deliver a telephone.

Lu Mingfei decided to first go to the place Angers had mentioned, the location of the alchemy array.

To be honest, he wasn't mentally prepared to face the people and things he didn't want to face.

I wouldn't say I hate them, I just feel a resistance to seeing them.

Seeing them easily reminds me of my past life.

So go ahead and do your task, then relax.

He opened Chu Zihang's QQ account. "Senior brother, are you there?"

"I've been notified that you're in charge of this mission, and we're en route to your city. We'll arrive this afternoon."

Chu Zihang's reply was concise and clear, which greatly pleased Lu Mingfei; this was normal communication.

Now the trio has two members, and there's one left.

Xia Mi... should be a girl, maybe a pretty one.

I just hope I won't cause any trouble.

Principal Angers gave a very clear instruction for this mission: let him do as he sees fit.

So, he can assign people as he pleases, as long as nothing goes wrong.

He suddenly remembered Old Tang, that half-baked alchemist, who had been forced by Norton to learn alchemy.

It's time to take him out for a walk to clear his head and practice his alchemy skills.

He made his way through a maze of twists and turns to the basement where Old Tang was.

Even outside the door, you can still feel the rising heat.

If an ordinary person lived here, they would die of dehydration very quickly. But Old Tang has lived here for a long time. Although he occasionally lets out a painful wail, the wail is very powerful and does not look like a dying person at all.

Just after two pitiful screams, Lu Mingfei pushed open the door and entered.

The heat hit him in the face, making Lu Mingfei's hair messy, but it dried quickly.

Old Tang knelt on the ground, with a thick book in front of him, already more than half-read. His palms were red and swollen, like those of a student who had just been punished.

"Mingfei, you've finally come to save me!" Old Tang, utterly spineless, pounced on Lu Mingfei, his bright red hands pressed against the ground. He cried out in pain as if his hands had been springed up and he sprang up.

Old Tang seized the opportunity to hug Lu Mingfei's leg, crying and pleading with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"You have no idea, ever since you finished with that Body Refinement Furnace, Norton has gone crazy and said he's going into seclusion. He locked me in this 'No leaving until you finish learning' room. I haven't had a proper rest for days. Please save me! I don't want to learn any alchemy, just kill me already."

"Coward!" Norton's voice echoed throughout the room, like a stereo sound effect.

"Now, an unprecedented event has occurred: the Black King is not dead. Without strength, one is not even as good as an ant!"

Old Tang retorted to Norton in despair, "So what if I die? It's much better than being forced to learn alchemy!"

Norton was speechless for a moment.

After this commotion, Lu Mingfei felt much better.

"Old Tang, let's go on a trip together with some of my friends," Lu Mingfei said, trying to smooth things over for him.

"Great! I'll do anything as long as I don't have to study alchemy in this room." Old Tang subconsciously tried to rub his palms, but was interrupted by pain.

"you......"

Before Norton could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei interrupted.

“Theory is important, but only practice can test true knowledge. I’m taking Lao Tang to practice this time. You don’t have any objections, do you?” Lu Mingfei looked at the overjoyed Lao Tang and whispered to the barely visible Norton figure in the room.

Norton helped him and didn't harm Old Tang, so he deserves to be addressed with respect.

"Ok."

"That's fantastic! When do we leave?" Old Tang jumped up excitedly.

"This afternoon, in two hours." Lu Mingfei glanced at the watch Liu Yanyan had given him.

"I'll go get ready right away." Old Tang's excitement overshadowed the pain in his hand, and he crawled out using both hands and feet.

Poor old Tang is being driven crazy by studying. Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

......

Because of his injured hand, Lao Tang still refused to let others help him, perhaps because he didn't want his little secret to be discovered, so he was very slow in cleaning up.

Lu Mingfei went to the airport early to wait for someone.

From a distance, I could see a slender girl strolling around inside the airport.

I'll go to the store and grab some snacks for free. I'll munch on them, making sure they're all gone, then stuff the trash in the bin before heading to the VIP lounge for a stroll.

The girl ran back and forth without stopping, her jet-black hair fluttering in the wind, revealing her almost perfect face, which was eye-catching.

The airport staff were captivated by the lively and energetic girl, and even after she left, they remained mesmerized, gazing longingly at her departing figure.

The information shows that she is Xia Mi, one of the pre-selected freshmen and a key figure.

"Senior brother! I'm here!" Xia Mi waved to Lu Mingfei from afar, cupping her hands together like a megaphone and shouting.

"This airport is huge. Apart from the staff, there isn't a soul in sight. If it weren't for the GPS, I would have thought I was in the wrong airport. Even if it's a weekday, there shouldn't be a complete lack of people here." Xia Mi looked around like a curious child.

Lu Mingfei thought the private jet was on the runway, but he didn't expect it to clear the entire airport.

The Zhou family really went all out.

With only two people in such a large airport, it would be difficult to mistake one for the other.

"This is a private jet arranged by my friend, of course it gets special treatment." He proudly raised his face, how could he miss the opportunity to show off in front of a pretty girl?

At this moment, Xia Mi's eyes sparkled like stars as she looked at Lu Mingfei with adoration.

"Wow—Senior brother is so amazing! As a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken, I'm completely relying on you, senior brother. I'm begging to be your big brother. I promise I won't cause any trouble and will obediently be a... accessory."

Xia Mi immediately turned serious and stood up straight in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei was even more pleased with himself; it was so much more satisfying to be flattered by pretty girls.

Who is Zhang Chulan? (A random character from the roadside.)

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Xia Mi. I just came from the countryside and haven't seen much of the world. I hope you will be understanding, senior brother."

"Lu Mingfei, grandson of the principal of Kassel College, Angers, and the recognized successor, close friend of the Zhou family head, dragon slayer..." Lu Mingfei rattled off a bunch of titles for himself.

Xia Mi's eyes lit up after hearing this. If it were nighttime, there would be no need to turn on the lights.

"Senior, do you have a girlfriend? I'd like to be your sugar daddy. I'm easy to take care of. Just show me a little bit of your leftovers and that'll be enough to feed me. If you have a girlfriend, I promise I'll keep it a secret from her."

"She'd probably strangle me if she found out!" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

This level of shamelessness is comparable to Finger's.

"You're a girl, can't you be a little more reserved?"

"Reserved?" Xia Mi tilted her head slightly, gave a ladylike bow, and said calmly, "No crying, no fussing, no destroying the house, just behave yourself and beg to be taken care of..."

"Forget it." For the first time, Lu Mingfei felt that his shameless past self really deserved a beating.

"Are you going to take care of this newcomer?" Chu Zihang asked Lu Mingfei belatedly.

"A tall, handsome senior brother!" Xia Mi's eyes lit up again, even brighter than when she saw Lu Mingfei.

"..."

Chapter 238 Xia Mi, Chu Zihang, and Lao Tang

"You broke up with your girlfriend?"

Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei with a puzzled expression.

There were two things that everyone knew about Shilan Middle School in the past. First, Chu Zihang was the dream lover of all the girls and the enemy of all the boys. Second, everyone knew that the loser Lu Mingfei had a crush on Chen Wenwen.

At some point, Lu Mingfei got a girlfriend and was very happy. He was completely different from the pathetic guy he was in Shilan Middle School. He would often take out the things his girlfriend gave him to show off, making others envious.

In Chu Zihang's view, they should be a couple who will eventually become husband and wife.

Now they're discussing keeping another girl as a sugar daddy...

"No, I didn't, I didn't say that!" Lu Mingfei denied it three times.

Pointing at Xia Mi, who was joking around, with an unhappy expression, she said, "It's all her fault! She slandered me... She only asked me to take care of her because she wanted me to protect her. That despicable little vixen almost made me lose my reputation in front of my senior brother."

"Wow, Senior Brother Lu, you were practically strutting around when I was flattering you, and now you're turning your back on me. Even if I am a little demoness, I'm a very beautiful little demoness." Xia Mi retorted proudly, very confident in her looks.
