Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Lu Mingfei felt insulted.

"I really have no feelings for Chen Wenwen right now... No, not just Chen Wenwen, I have no feelings for any girl right now!" Lu Mingfei raised one hand and swore an oath.

"So you didn't come here to ask me to help you woo girls?" Tony noticed the blind spot.

"It feels like all you know is how to get a girl you've just met into bed," Lu Mingfei complained.

"Isn't that enough?" Tony retorted.

Lu Mingfei: ...

"Seriously, aren't you going to consider twins?" Tony, like a devil determined to lure his target to hell, coaxed Lu Mingfei relentlessly. "Twins are really amazing! Especially the two of them together..."

"Ahem, let's get down to business," Lu Mingfei quickly changed the subject. "Some time ago, someone with special powers like me came to my world."

Tony instantly became serious: "And then?"

“They say we are ‘hybrids,’” Lu Mingfei rubbed his temples. “They also say that our world has dragons, and we are a hybrid of dragons and humans.”

Tony:? ? ?

Chapter 47 Attack on the Racetrack

In Tony's laboratory.

Lu Mingfei and Tony sat facing each other.

"According to the information those people revealed to you, the earliest beings to rule the world and develop civilization were dragons. Although humans existed at that time, they were servants of dragons and belonged to inferior beings."

Tony concluded, "Later, through some means, humans produced hybrids within their race. Hybrids are humans with dragon genes. Although their strength is not as great as that of dragons, it is still far greater than that of humans, and they are qualified to resist dragons."

"Later, the dragon race experienced internal strife, and the hybrids seized the opportunity to overthrow the dragons' rule, ushering in the era of humankind."

Lu Mingfei nodded: "That's all they told me."

"Did they say how hybrids are born?" Tony asked curiously. "Like injecting dragon blood into a human, or eating parts of a dragon, or some kind of mysterious ritual?"

"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

“Let’s skip that for now,” Tony said. “The organization that approached you is called Kassel College, right?”

Lu Mingfei nodded.

"They approached you because you are the child of a couple of very high lineage, and that couple were from that academy. Shortly after you were born, they went on a highly classified and very long mission, so they placed you in the care of your uncle and aunt..."

Tony frowned: "It makes sense in theory to entrust the child to relatives to raise, but aren't your uncle and aunt ordinary people?"

“Angers said that hybrids are not born stronger than ordinary people. They need to awaken their bloodline first, and the sign of awakening their bloodline is the golden eyes,” Lu Mingfei said. “And some people are born with weak bloodlines and will never awaken them in their entire lives.”

“For example, your uncle? That’s ridiculous. Your father is a mixed-race person with high bloodline. Your uncle is his brother. Even if he’s not as good as him, he shouldn’t be ‘weak in bloodline’, right? Besides, Angers also said that he was a friend of your great-grandfather. That means your great-grandfather was also a big shot back then. Your family should be considered a noble family, right?” Tony felt there was a big problem.

“He said that dragon genes exist in pairs, and there are dominant and recessive traits. Children from the same parents may have one being a highly pure hybrid while the other is an ordinary person. That’s why my father and my uncle have vastly different bloodlines,” Lu Mingfei said.

"As for my great-grandfather, he said that my great-grandfather was born from the union of two ordinary people with trace amounts of dragon blood. Due to the purification effect between dragon genes, he was born with a high-purity bloodline. With his bloodline, he should have created an excellent family in the mixed-race world starting from his generation. However, he died young, leaving behind only a child with a weak bloodline."

“It still sounds a bit ridiculous. There are just too many coincidences,” Tony complained. “It just so happens that your great-grandfather rose from humble beginnings, it just so happens that his children did not inherit his high bloodline, and it just so happens that one of your grandparents’ children has an exceptionally high bloodline and the other is no different from an ordinary person.”

“I also felt something was off, so when they asked me if I wanted to join, I asked them for some time to think about it, and that’s how I ended up coming over to discuss it with you,” Lu Mingfei said.

"Tony, do you think I should join?"

Tony immediately said, "Join! Of course we have to join! How can we find out what these people are up to if we don't join?"

"That's just like you, Tony." Lu Mingfei recalled how determined this guy was to hire Natalie as his secretary.

“And if you look at it from another angle, judging from the information those people have revealed, they may have been watching you since you were born,” Tony said. “Do you really think they’ll just pretend nothing happened if you say you don’t want to join?”

Lu Mingfei nodded: "That makes sense."

"For example, you've been paying attention to a girl since she was very young, spending everything to keep track of her every move. You've observed her from age three to eighteen, knowing all her likes and dislikes and personality traits, and you've seen every inch of her skin. But just the day before you're about to truly win her over, she suddenly announces that she wants to become a devout Christian and a nun who will never marry. Can you accept that?"

"Of course not... Ugh!" Lu Mingfei snapped back to reality. "What kind of analogy is that? This is clearly a crime! Not only a crime, but a pervert! An extremely lewd pervert committing an extremely serious crime!"

“It’s just an example,” Tony said. “Anyway, you should understand, right? If you refuse to join them, they have plenty of ways to get you.”

"Are you saying I have no other choice?" Lu Mingfei lamented.

“Or you can choose to believe that they are a group of good people with principles and a bottom line,” Tony said, “just like believing that the military will really keep its promise to ‘never conduct human experiments or produce biological soldiers.’”

"Damn!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed.

“Besides, you probably want to know more about your parents, right?” Tony said. “They are the only clue you can find right now. You can only find out more by infiltrating them. If you keep hiding, you will only become more and more passive.”

"I'm afraid they'll capture me and use me for human experiments once I'm inside," Lu Mingfei said with a mournful face.

“If they wanted to use you for experiments, they would have done it already,” Tony said. “Since they’ve spent a lot of effort on you, it means you’re valuable to them.”

After a pause, Tony added, "Of course, even if you're going to take the initiative, there are some things you need to be aware of..."

Next, Ritoni listed some things Lu Mingfei should pay extra attention to, so as to avoid arousing suspicion from Kassel College or attracting extra attention.

However, Tony wasn't the type to patiently guide and teach, so he quickly told Lu Mingfei what he needed to pay attention to, and then went off to race.

He said he has recently become interested in motorsports and is planning to go to Monaco in Europe to watch a motorsports race featuring a team from the Stark Group.

Lu Mingfei wasn't very interested in racing and had originally planned to go back later, but Tony said that his birthday was in two days and asked Lu Mingfei if he had enough energy left to attend his birthday party.

After a rough calculation, Lu Mingfei felt that there shouldn't be any major problems, so he decided to stay for a few more days.

……

Europe, Monaco, Grand Paris Monte Carlo.

Lu Mingfei, Tony, Pepper, and Happy, who was the driver, got out of the car together.

Although Lu Mingfei had no interest in racing, he figured he might as well come out and have some fun since he was going to be staying for the next few days anyway.

but……

"Isn't this Monaco? Why is the hotel called the Paris Grand Hotel?" Lu Mingfei complained, looking at the hotel sign in front of him.

He stopped walking while complaining.

Tony, who was walking ahead, turned his head in confusion: "What's wrong? That's the VIP lounge for the racing competition, although most people come here to discuss business."

“You guys go in first, you’re too conspicuous. Let’s split up,” Lu Mingfei said, taking two steps back. “I just want to go in and get some free food and drinks, but I don’t want to be surrounded by people who want to collaborate with me, take photos with me, or interview me.”

"You should get used to being liked and admired by everyone; it feels great." Tony shrugged, not insisting, and led Pepper and Happy inside first.

Lu Mingfei stayed behind, silently shaking his head—Tony hadn't told Pepper that he had officially hired Natalie as his new secretary, and Natalie was inside now.

Although he had never been in a relationship, Lu Mingfei had watched TV dramas. Based on his experience, battles between women were often very intense, and it wouldn't be good to get caught up in them.

This is the main reason why he wanted to split up with Tony.

After waiting a short while, Lu Mingfei entered the hotel. Once inside, he looked around and saw Tony, Pepper, and Natalie standing together, seemingly chatting about something.

Anyway, Pepper's smile looked forced no matter how you looked at it.

Just as Lu Mingfei looked over, Natalie also noticed him, and her originally charming gaze seemed to have gained a hint of menace.

Lu Mingfei quickly avoided her gaze, went to the bar to order a cocktail, found an inconspicuous corner in the banquet hall to sit down, and began to eat and drink heartily.

He wasn't interested in racing, so he didn't even look at the footage of the racetrack next door playing on the screen, focusing instead on finishing his food and drinks.

Until Pepper called him from the other side of the banquet hall.

"Mingfei! Mingfei! Come quick! It's urgent!"

Lu Mingfei, with a lobster claw he had just broken off in his mouth, ran over cheerfully: "What happened? Did Tony get splashed with wine after harassing a female customer?"

"He's flirting with me!" Pepper exclaimed, looking furious.

"what?"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "That's not right. What you two did can't be called flirting, it should be called flirting... no, romance?"

He immediately realized what Pepper meant—the screen directly in front of her was showing footage of interviews with drivers on the track.

However, the original Stark Group racing driver was sidelined, and Tony, dressed in a blue and white racing suit, took his place for the interview.

“Wow, he said he liked racing, but I didn’t realize he liked it in this sense,” Lu Mingfei exclaimed. “I thought he only liked watching racing.”

As he sighed, Natalie, who had also been called by Pepper, arrived: "I'm here, Miss Pepper."

“Natalie, do you know he’s going to race?” Pepper asked anxiously and frantically, pointing at Tony on the screen.

“I only found out now.” Natalie looked shocked—and it wasn’t entirely an act; even as a secret agent, she had never experienced or anticipated such a scene.

“Mingfei, did he tell you he was going to go racing?” Pepper asked.

“I never said that,” Lu Mingfei shook his head and complained, “but I actually think it’s quite reasonable for Tony to do something like this.”

“He can’t participate in racing. He’s not a professional driver, and the safety risk is too great,” Pepper said, turning to Natalie. “Natalie, take us to Happy and have him lead us to stop Tony.”

Lu Mingfei thought for a second and shook his head: "You should go. If I go, he'll probably try to drag me into the race, and the scene will probably be even more chaotic."

Natalie couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingfei—you're quite skilled at it!

Watching Natalie leave with Pepper, Lu Mingfei returned to his seat and continued to finish his lobster.

In his opinion, Pepper's concern for Tony had gotten her into a mess.

Tony usually flies around in his Iron Man suit at Mach 6, so what could possibly happen to him driving a race car...?

The live stream on the screen suddenly shook violently, and after a dizzying jolt, it stabilized. A burly man appeared on the screen, shirtless, wearing some kind of mechanical device, wielding two long metal whips with electric currents flowing through them. He stood on the track, facing a race car speeding towards him.

Lu Mingfei stopped dissecting the lobster.

The next second, he saw the man swing a long whip crackling with electricity, splitting an oncoming race car in two, sending the wreckage flying high into the air.

Blinking, Lu Mingfei picked up the remaining shrimp claw and ran towards the door.

Damn! Something really could happen!

I've updated three chapters for now. I'm still writing the fourth chapter, so it'll be updated later. *sobs*
