Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened as he thought to himself, "Brother, you're quite the smooth talker. But you've called the wrong person. Go knock on the door next door and ask for my senior brothers and sisters. Call my senior brother 'brother' and my senior sister 'sister-in-law.' Then I might consider you a discerning person."

"Uh...did I call you the wrong name?"

Old Tang scratched his head, then suddenly realized: "Oh, according to Chinese custom, calling her 'elder sister-in-law' is too formal. We should call her 'non-elder sister-in-law' instead!"

As he spoke, Old Tang stood up decisively and bowed deeply to Su Xiaoqiang: "Good morning, Sister-in-law Fei!"

"What do you mean, 'sister-in-law' or 'sister-in-law'? I'm his classmate. Don't talk nonsense. I'm still a student, just turned eighteen. I can't get married for at least four years!" Su Xiaoqiang blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, glancing at Lu Mingfei unconsciously.

Lu Mingfei immediately understood, nodded slightly to Su Xiaoqiang, and gave her a look that said, "Don't worry, I understand."

He immediately kicked Old Tang in the butt and said viciously, "That'll teach you to talk nonsense!"

Fortunately, he didn't use much force, otherwise Old Tang would have knelt down directly.

Su Xiaoqiang rubbed her burning cheeks, feeling she couldn't stay any longer: "I need to go home to pack my things, bye!"

Lu Mingfei asked in bewilderment, "You've been here for several days now, what are you going back to pack?"

"I'll go back and find a picture of my cousin for you, okay?" Su Xiaoqiang said irritably.

Mentioning the photo, she suddenly remembered that the photo of Lu Mingfei holding the smug little fish was still in her wallet and she hadn't taken it out yet.

"When I have time, I'll take that lousy photo out and put it in the album!" Su Xiaoqiang thought viciously.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand why she stared at him fiercely after she finished speaking, as if he had bitten her and she was about to pounce on him and bite back.

"By the way, what's your full name?" Su Xiaoqiang asked Old Tang.

“Ronald Don,” Old Don said.

“Since you are Lu Mingfei’s friend, then put the expenses in Portugal on my family’s account. Go to the front desk and book a room yourself. Just say you are a guest of the Salvador family.” Su Xiaoqiang sat with her knees together and her hands folded on her knees, like a graceful and noble lady of the house.

"You're so generous, Sister-in-law!" Old Tang immediately bowed.

Su Xiaoqiang gripped her knees tightly with both hands.

Lu Mingfei finally couldn't hold back any longer and kicked Old Tang, yelling, "Shut up! You can smear me, but you can't smear my sugar daddy like this!"

Su Xiaoqiang's face was ashen.

……

The newly opened room of Lao Tang.

"Brother Fei, what are you doing?" Old Tang rubbed his butt, looking aggrieved.

Although Lu Mingfei's second kick wasn't delivered with full force, it was still much harder than the first kick, and Old Tang felt like his buttocks were swollen from the kick.

"Can you please stop joking around next time?" Lu Mingfei deliberately darkened his face and threatened, "I'm warning you, that girl is our sugar daddy. If you make any jokes that anger her, we won't even be able to afford a plane ticket to leave Portugal."

That's a lie. None of him, Senior Brother Chu, or Su Qian are short of money. Even if things get really bad, the academy won't let them wander off to a foreign land. He's just saying this to fool Old Tang.

Unexpectedly, Old Tang appeared extremely confident: "How could that be? I could tell at a glance that the girl is obviously interested in you. There's no way she would be angry."

"You only met her ten minutes ago, how did you figure that out?" Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes. "If I remember correctly, you're still single like me, right? It's hard for me to believe you're acting like a Casanova now."

"Is she the girl who let you into her bedroom to play on the computer?" Old Tang said confidently. "She allowed you to linger in her bedroom alone for so long, it's practically as if she's completely unguarded around you. I absolutely don't believe she's not interested in you!"

"Is it possible that she treats me like a brother, which is why she's not wary of me?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Uh..." Old Tang's momentum deflated.

"I knew you couldn't be trusted, being a lifelong single," Lu Mingfei retorted. "Let's get down to business. What exactly are you doing in Portugal?"

"Ahem," Old Tang coughed lightly, "First of all, this has to start with my profession. Mingfei, you must keep it a secret for me."

"You were calling me Fei Ge just now, why are you calling me Ming Fei now?" Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.

"I was just giving my brother face in front of the woman!" Old Tang said. "Stop talking nonsense and just promise me you'll keep it a secret."

“Okay, okay, I’ll keep it a secret,” Lu Mingfei said.

Old Tang then admitted: "Actually, I'm a bounty hunter."

"Bounty hunter?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"Simply put, our line of work relies on a website called Hunter Market. Employers post commissions on this website, hiring us to do things for money or other valuables. The specific tasks are all kinds of things, but most of them are in the gray or even black areas on the edge of the law, ranging from small-scale tomb raiding to large-scale arms smuggling," Old Tang said in a low voice, "and there are even cases of hiring hitmen!"

Lu Mingfei looked surprised and doubtful: "I didn't realize you were such a ruthless character, Lao Tang!"

"I'm not some tough guy," Old Tang said with a mournful face. "I'm so bad at killing pigs that they chase me away, okay?"

"Damn! So he's just a nobody." Lu Mingfei said with disdain.

“What small fry? I have principles and a bottom line. I don’t do anything particularly illegal or criminal, just some ordinary illegal things. Besides, I often do good deeds,” Old Tang said. “For example, my mission this time is to come to Portugal to rescue a missing girl.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

The missing girl?

Didn't they come because the Temple of Solomon was reported for human trafficking?

Could there be any connection between these things?

As coincidences from certain movies and anime flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind, he suddenly had a bold idea.

"The missing girl you're looking for, could it be named Elena?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.

“Elena? Who’s that? Never heard of her.” Old Tang scratched his head.

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. He had said it was impossible for it to be such a coincidence.

“The person I’m looking for is named Amber, full name Amber Salvador Price,” Old Tang said.

Lu Mingfei: ...

Chapter 84 The Hunter Website and the Salvador Family

In Lao Tang's room at the hotel.

“Amber Salvador Price?” Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure that’s the name?”

When he visited Su Xiaoqiang's home before, Su Xiaoqiang introduced her to him, saying that her aunt also had a daughter who was studying at a university abroad and couldn't return for a while, so she didn't appear at that family banquet.

If Lu Mingfei remembers correctly, the girl's name should be Amber.

Furthermore, considering that Portuguese surnames are composed of the mother's surname and the father's surname in that order, judging from the name "Amber Salvador Price", Amber's mother should have the surname Salvador, which happens to be the surname of Su Xiaoqiang's family.

"There can't be such a coincidence..." Lu Mingfei sensed that something was wrong.

"Yes, that's the name. The client even included a photo in the commission. She's a beautiful girl, like a princess from a fairy tale. To describe her in idioms, she's simply stunning, breathtakingly beautiful, and a vision of beauty!" Old Tang led Lu Mingfei to the computer in the luxurious room and turned it on.

Although the presidential suite is gone, there are still many luxury rooms, fully equipped and luxurious.

After a series of complicated navigations in his browser, Lao Tang opened a website, logged in, found the commission he had accepted, and started searching for photos from the information sent by his employer.

“Brother Fei, you have to keep this a secret. In principle, the details of the hired mission should also be kept confidential, but the checks aren’t very strict,” Old Tang said. “I’m risking my account being deleted to show you this beautiful woman.”

“If you cancel your account, just register a new one,” Lu Mingfei said casually.

"I mean the physical cancellation of the registration." Old Tang wiped his neck.

"Huh? That's terrifying!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed in surprise.

"Just kidding," Old Tang laughed. "Only leaking the highest-level mission details will result in my account being physically banned. Although the level of this mission is not low, it's not that high either. At most, leaking it will result in my account being banned on the website for a year or two."

As they spoke, Old Tang had already found the photo and clicked on it: "Look, isn't she as beautiful as a fairytale princess? All those top Hollywood actresses look like ordinary girls next to her. If the hunters weren't unable to contact the employers, I would definitely ask them if the photo had been photoshopped. If this is the reason I can't find my target, they should bear the main responsibility..."

Old Tang talked on and on, while Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the photos.

Old Tang is right. The woman in the photo is stunningly beautiful, on par with Su Xiaoqiang, just with a different style and temperament.

Although Su Xiaoqiang, being of mixed race, possesses the elegant and gentle features typical of Easterners, her temperament is like that of a proud white swan, radiating brilliance even in photographs.

The girl in this photo looks two or three years older than Su Xiaoqiang. She is a pure Western beauty, but has an elegant, scholarly air about her.

Of course, Lu Mingfei wasn't staring at the photo to admire the beautiful woman, but rather to compare her with the image of Su Xiaoqiang in his mind.

He had even unconsciously activated his Mirror Eye, breaking down the girl's facial features in the photo into countless complex three-dimensional model lines and data, comparing them one by one with the data of Su Xiaoqiang in his mind.

He finally concluded that the two people had a high degree of similarity in their facial features.

While coincidences can occur between strangers, this level of similarity is more likely to be found among family members.

Especially... their mothers all share the surname El Salvador.

"Holy crap! Mingfei, are you blind?!" Old Tang exclaimed.

Ok?

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then realized that he seemed to have been too engrossed in releasing his Mirror Eyes and had unconsciously activated his Golden Eyes.

The difficulty for mixed-race individuals to light up their golden eyes depends on their bloodline. Those with lower bloodlines need to concentrate fully to light up their golden eyes, while those with higher bloodlines can light up their golden eyes without even realizing it.

The next step is like Senior Brother Chu's situation. According to Susie, his golden eyes can no longer be turned off because his bloodline is so high that he can almost compete with some low-level dragons.

At Kassel College, this is also known as the "Eternal Golden Eyes," a symbol of exceptionally high lineage.

Unlike his senior brother Chu, Lu Mingfei's golden eyes couldn't be turned off, but when he got serious about something, his golden eyes would easily light up, which is why he wore colored contact lenses.

He took off his colored contact lenses before drinking yesterday, and the next morning he woke up hugging Su Xiaoqiang. He was lucky he wasn't scared to death, so he didn't bother to put them back on.

Now, an unexpected problem has arisen.

However, what he didn't expect was that after seeing his golden eyes, Old Tang was only surprised for a very short moment before revealing a complicated expression.

If I had to say something... he seemed quite happy.

"Mingfei, I didn't know you had eyes like that too." Old Tang said with delight, as if a bewildered black sheep among a flock of white sheep had met its kind.

and also?

Lu Mingfei grasped the key point: "Could it be that you, Old Tang, are also a mixed-race person?"

"A hybrid?" Old Tang looked confused, as if a question mark had appeared above his head.

"You don't know?" A question mark seemed to appear above Lu Mingfei's head.

……

after a while.

"That's pretty much the concept of hybrids," Lu Mingfei said. "You know nothing about this?"
