Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

The torrential rain poured down, and the evening sky, which had only shown a hint of twilight, was suddenly shrouded in inky darkness. A fierce wind howled, whipping up the raindrops, and distant streetlights cast blurry halos in the rain. The whole world was immersed in a oppressive darkness, no different from the dead of night.

As soon as Lu Mingfei and his two companions stepped out of the cinema, they were greeted by this horrifying scene: a fierce wind carrying rain lashed down on them, instantly soaking the hems of their clothes.

"That's strange. The weather forecast this morning clearly said it would be cloudy today, not that it would rain." Su Xiaoqiang wiped the raindrops from her face and muttered as she turned to ask, "How are you two getting back? Why don't you take my car? The driver should be here soon."

"No need, look, my car is over there." Nono raised her chin and pointed to the bright red Ferrari by the door. But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly frowned—the car was only big enough for two people. It was barely enough to squeeze the unconscious Chen Wenwen in, let alone the husky.

Lu Mingfei seemed to understand what she was thinking and said, "Don't worry about that stupid dog. It has legs and can run just as fast as a car. Just let it follow."

Just then, Su Xiaoqiang's phone rang. She answered the phone, said a few words, and her relaxed expression gradually became somewhat subtle, her lips unconsciously pursing.

Being so close, Lu Mingfei, with his extraordinary hearing, could clearly hear a middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone, presumably the Su family's driver. The man sounded apologetic, saying that Su Xiaoqiang's father had an urgent matter to attend to at the company, and he had to take his boss there first, so picking up Su Xiaoqiang would have to be postponed.

"What's wrong? Did you run into trouble?" Like Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo had already seen through the phone conversation through profiling, but she still pretended not to know and asked Su Xiaoqiang.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. My dad suddenly had an emergency, so the driver has to take him to his company first, and picking me up will have to be postponed." Su Xiaoqiang slumped her shoulders, her tone full of helplessness.

Nono's eyes lit up, and she readily invited, "Would you like to come with us?"

"Huh? Your car probably can't fit that many people, right?" Su Xiaoqiang glanced at the bright red sports car at the door, her tone full of uncertainty.

"Hey, that's easy." Nono waved her hand dismissively, took out her phone, quickly dialed a number, mumbled a few words into the other end, then put her phone away, gave the two a thumbs up, and said smugly, "Done! The car will be here soon."

Ten minutes later, a red Maserati stopped in front of them. The driver got out of his seat, holding an umbrella, and handed three brand-new umbrellas and the Maserati keys to Nono. After taking the Ferrari keys from Nono, he turned and walked towards the Ferrari.

"Let's go." Nuonuo twirled the car key between her fingers, making a crisp sound. She handed a black umbrella to Su Xiaoqiang and then quickly walked around to the front of the car in her high heels, getting into the driver's seat with a deft step.

"Wow, you drive in high heels?" Su Xiaoqiang stared at Nuonuo's exquisite high heels with surprise as soon as she sat down in the back seat.

"What's the big deal?" Nuonuo pouted, seemingly unconcerned, but then frowned. "But they do make my feet tired after wearing them for a while." With that, she took off her high heels and tossed them precisely onto Lu Mingfei's lap in the passenger seat, teasing him with a mischievous grin, "Little glutton, don't get any funny ideas about my shoes."

"Tsk, it stinks." Lu Mingfei frowned and shook his head with a look of disgust.

"Lu Mingfei!"

Lu Mingfei's words successfully enraged Nuonuo, who reached out to grab his arm. Lu Mingfei, anticipating this, subtly shifted his body, using the skillful force of Tai Chi to gently deflect Nuonuo's attack. The two continued their playful exchange for a while until Su Xiaoqiang in the back seat intervened to smooth things over, at which point they each snorted and reluctantly stopped.

"Watch closely! Today I'll show you my amazing driving skills!"

As Nono stepped on the gas, the Maserati's engine roared to life, and the red car sped away like lightning, cutting through the rain and splashing water everywhere.

Another ten minutes later.

Nono stared at the endless stream of cars ahead, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

"Haha, where's all that amazing driving skill you were talking about? Why is it all useless now?" Lu Mingfei laughed so hard he slapped his thigh, teasing him mercilessly.

"What are you laughing at! If you're so capable, you drive it yourself! The road ahead is like a parking lot. Even a legendary racer would have to wait patiently. Do you think you can just sprout wings and fly over there?" Nono rolled her eyes, raised an eyebrow, and retorted, trying to save face.

"Ha, don't make excuses if you can't do it yourself." Lu Mingfei scoffed, pointing to the side, "Isn't the sidewalk quite spacious? Why don't you drive?"

Nono didn't say anything, but just rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei.

In the back seat, Su Xiaoqiang stared blankly at the rainy scenery rushing past the car window, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of the window, lost in thought. The only sound in the car was the patter of raindrops hitting the glass, and then silence returned.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke, breaking the silence: "By the way, I remember the Gattuso family is also a member of the Kassel school board, right? What's their relationship with the principal like?"

Nono paused on the steering wheel, turning to look at him with some surprise, her eyes clearly saying, "Are you sure you want to talk about this in front of outsiders?"

Lu Mingfei understood her concerns and waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, it's not a big deal. It won't matter if Su Xiaoqiang finds out."

"Fine, fine, nobody can control you anyway, whatever you say goes." Nono sighed helplessly, then changed the subject, "The Gattuso family and the principal are old enemies, they can't stand each other. So what are you planning to do? Are you going to just go and take them down?"

Lu Mingfei frowned and retorted, "Don't put it so harshly, making me sound like a heinous villain. Even if I did take action against them, it would be doing justice on behalf of Heaven, punishing evil and promoting good! I was originally thinking of taking some time to visit them, but after hearing what you said, I guess they'll come knocking on my door to cause trouble once I return to the academy. In that case, it's better to wait for them to come to us and resolve things once and for all, avoiding future troubles."

"Tch, I think you're just lazy and don't want to move at all." Nono seemed to have seen through Lu Mingfei's thoughts, and curled her lips in disdain, her tone full of smugness after being exposed.

Su Xiaoqiang, sitting in the back row, was completely bewildered, utterly confused about what the two people in front were talking about. One minute they were talking about the academy, the next about their families; she even wondered if they were discussing some fantasy novel about leveling up by fighting monsters.

"Hey, what are you two talking about? I can't understand a word!" Su Xiaoqiang leaned forward and asked curiously.

"Well, this might sound a bit magical to you. I need a real-world example to explain it to you." As he spoke, Lu Mingfei looked around as if searching for something.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something interesting, his eyes lit up. He patted Nono on the shoulder, pointed to the overpass entrance on the right, and said, "Isn't it spacious over there? Drive!"

Nono looked in the direction Lu Mingfei was pointing and indeed saw a road entrance marked "Overpass No. 0". There were several roadblocks at the entrance, indicating that the road was temporarily closed.

She started to have doubts—how come she hadn't noticed there was an overpass here earlier? And the name "Number 0" sounded strange too. But then she thought, since Lu Mingfei said it was possible to drive on it, what was there to be afraid of? Just step on the gas and go!

After finally managing to squeeze her way to the entrance of the overpass with the flow of traffic, Nono flicked her wrist, and the Maserati swerved sharply, smoothly cutting into the overpass ramp. Immediately afterward, she floored the accelerator without hesitation, and the engine roared deafeningly, like a beast that had been suppressed for a long time finally breaking free of its restraints.

The red car body drew a sharp arc in the rain, like a burning red meteor, and disappeared into the extension of the overpass in an instant with a whistling sound, leaving only the fading sound of the engine and the splashing rain mist.
