Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 275 Mission: 06-2 A Gentleman's Invitation

Caesar Gattuso quickly saw Nero's reply because someone had tagged him in a private message. He looked at the reply that quoted the poem and subconsciously stroked the family crest on his hunting knife with his fingers.

Gattuso's family crest was the phoenix, but he disliked his own family, and Nero's comparison of him to a proud peacock was exactly what he wanted.

"The pride of the peacock is the glory of God... isn't it? That's a good thing to say."

Compared to the noble phoenix, the peacock really suits him better. After all, his mother is just an inconspicuous gray swan. Everything Caesar is proud of is earned through his own hard work.

Caesar also believed that his efforts could bring glory to God.

He clicked on the comment and saw the replies below. At the top was an invitation from a student union official, hoping Nero would join the union. Then there were people asking about her opinion of the union, her relationship status, and her criteria for choosing a partner...

There were even some direct comments expressing love. Caesar closed the reply window speechlessly. Having his comments listed with these people made him feel that his style had declined.

It's not like he couldn't understand these people's thoughts. Nero was the second Transcendent A-Grade bloodline in the academy, and the only female Transcendent A-Grade. Such women would naturally be very popular. If Caesar didn't have a girlfriend, he would also try to pursue her.

But confessing in a forum would be too undignified. This was Caesar's idea.

But that's just him judging others by his own experience. In reality, those who shout "I love you" on forums generally have the same mindset as fans chasing idols; to them, this is just a daily support activity. But for Caesar, who would say things like "I am my own idol," he couldn't understand this idea.

In fact, if Nero is willing, she might try to recruit them to form a fan club, which could be about one-tenth the size of the two major clubs. Under her leadership, it would be enough to gain a foothold in the academy.

Back to the point. Since he wasn't going to reply to this message, Caesar naturally decided to open another thread. He directly posted a new thread in the discussion area, @ed Nero, and opened another chat window.

The post received an immediate response, but Caesar knew it wasn't the one he was waiting for. He typed in a new window, "Are you sure you want to join the student union?"

"Of course! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my sincere heart!"

This righteous reply was completely incompatible with the sender's face. Caesar pressed his brow with a headache and replied, "Do me a small favor. Pin the post I just posted, and I'll agree."

"This is not easy!"

The person on the other end of the chat box was Finger. As the head of the News Department and also the moderator of the discussion forum, pinning a message was a piece of cake for him. In his dorm room, he suddenly jumped up from his bed, pumping his fist: "Done!"

Lu Mingfei, who was asking Nero questions about dragon language, looked up at the bunk above him in confusion, wondering what had suddenly gone wrong with his roommate.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Joining the Student Union has been settled." Finkel's face was visibly filled with joy. "From now on, please call me the Minister of the Student Union's News Department!"

"I think you already have everything under your control. Is it really necessary for you to acknowledge this boss?"

"Junior brother, you may not know this, but the benefits for student union members are incredibly good! The News Department has been short of money these past few years, even funding for activities has been a problem, but from now on, we'll have someone to back us up!"

"So it's all about money?" "A penny can make a hero fall! But what Caesar lacks the least is money. This time, the News Department and the Student Union will join forces and will surely defeat the Lionheart Society!"

Finkel raised his head passionately.

Recalling how unlucky Finkel was, who had to beg for money even for a cup of Coke, Lu Mingfei's eyes showed a bit more sympathy.

But sympathy wasn't with Finger, but with the other students in the academy. Even without funding, Finger was already able to grasp the dark histories of others. What would happen after he got funding?

Especially the Lionheart Society, wouldn't there be a scandal every three days and a scandal every five days?

But Finkel denied Lu Mingfei's opinion: "How can you say that! We in the News Department are journalists with professional ethics. We will not smear anyone out of thin air!"

Lu Mingfei could only believe half of this, most of it was wrong. He shook his head and asked, "Why did Caesar agree to let you join? He also works on Tieba?"

“He asked me to help pin his post.”

"So, the ugly money-for-power exchange has already begun?" Learning that this person was the forum moderator, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh for the future of the forum. "Let me see, what's the post?"

"I didn't look closely, but it seemed like he was calling out to Nero."

Lu Mingfei had already clicked into the forum and saw the pinned headline. He scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Caesar must have a girlfriend, right? He won so many times in a free day."

"Indeed, it has, but it has nothing to do with the Free Day." Finkel had already seen the content of the post. "But Junior Brother, your thinking is too twisted. Although I also think this invitation is ill-intentioned, it may not be as ill-intentioned as you think."

Lu Mingfei copied the link to the post and sent it out: "Let's see what she has to say herself."

Nero was puzzled when Lu Mingfei suddenly sent her a link to the Night Watch discussion forum. She actually still had the forum open in her backend, but there were so many people getting mad under her reply that she temporarily disabled the notifications.

When you click on the link, the account with the ID "Dick Tuiduo" starts with a very direct "@尼罗:", and the specific content of the post is revealed after the change of career.

"Thank you for the inspiration. The theme of the Student Union's next social dance has been decided to be 'Peacock and Mask'. I also invite you to attend. I have something important to say to you then. The dance will be held in a week. The formal invitation will be sent later. I will be waiting for your good news at Amber Hall."

"An invitation to a dance?" Nero muttered in confusion, remembering that it seemed to be a birthday dance held for Chen Motong.

Nero had no interest in the ball, and he could more or less guess what Caesar was trying to say. It was simply about accepting the loss and handing over his sports car, or inviting Nero to join the student council. Neither of these was particularly interesting to Nero.

After thinking about it, she reopened her chat with Lu Mingfei and said, "Why don't you go for me?"

Lu Mingfei replied with a question mark.
