Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

It was not until the moment when the host lifted the black cloth that she realized how... special the "special" that the person in charge had mentioned was.

She was really scared when she saw the strange man in the cage. She had never seen such a person before. He was a hundred times more terrifying than the gangsters!

She instinctively shrank into the corner of the booth, trembling uncontrollably. She wanted to escape, but when she thought of the generous reward and her grandmother who raised her on welfare, and the people she was familiar with in the audience, she almost pinched her thighs to hold on... But when the weirdo turned around and looked at her, she felt like she was about to collapse.

It wasn't until the other person called out her name that she suddenly felt that the face looked familiar.

"Yes... I'm Aso Shin... May I ask how you know my name..." Shin nodded with a tearful voice, and suddenly his eyes widened as he looked at that face. "Hey hey hey! Is it... Mr. Lu? That night in the toy store... it was you, right?"

Zhen was deeply impressed by the law enforcer named Lu Mingfei. He looked the youngest and kindest one, second only to Caesar. But when he drew his sword, his aura suddenly changed. He was as fierce as a lion with its claws bared, and after sheathing the sword, he was as kind as the brother next door. Noda Shou admired him very much, and Zhen was always grateful to him.

"It's me, it's me. I didn't expect Miss Zhen to recognize me even after I became like this." Lu Mingfei nodded. "But why is Miss Zhen here? Are you here to work?"

According to the original plot of the dream story, Aso should have been working as a shoe shiner at the Mambo Internet Cafe in Chizuru Town, but it seems that something she did affected the world line, and reality also changed accordingly.

Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart, no matter how reality changes, he happens to be at the place where Aso Makoto works. Miss Makoto is truly a well-deserved workaholic!

"Yes, I'll come to work." Aso Makoto nodded heavily.

After knowing that the "weirdo" in front of her was Mr. Lu Mingfei, she suddenly was not afraid anymore. In her opinion, although Lu Mingfei's appearance became a little strange, his nature was kind. Mr. Lu Mingfei was one of the rare good people she had ever met.

"But, Mr. Lu, why are you here too?" Masao looked at the cages surrounding Lu Mingfei and the shackles on his hands and feet. He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Were you captured by the bad guys?"

"That's a long story..." Lu Mingfei sighed.

The venue was too noisy, and Lu Mingfei's appearance caused a huge commotion. Naturally, the crowd below the stage could not hear the whispered conversations at the booth.

However, some people saw that Lu Mingfei turned a deaf ear to the questioning of the audience, and instead turned around and started chatting with the most beautiful of the etiquette ladies. He shouted that this monster must be a kappa, and kappas are notoriously lustful!

Caesar in the crowd was also confused. He thought he might meet Lu Mingfei at the venue, but he didn't expect their meeting to be so dramatic. One was a poor audience member who came in through the back door, and the other was a monster locked in an iron cage and on display about to be auctioned.

With his sickle-weasel open, he could hear the conversation between the two people on the stage, and thought to himself, how can you two still have the time to chat after all this?

The first time he saw Lu Mingfei, he knew that the other party had not yet recovered from the underwater battle.

The situation now looked quite bad, and he was not sure whether this guy had prepared enough backup plans to escape, or was just too careless and had no sense of urgency.

It should be the former, Caesar thought. After all, Lu Mingfei was well-known for his reliability in Kassel Academy, and his missions and plans had never gone wrong.

But then Caesar realized that he was overthinking, because he heard Aso Makoto on the stage tell Lu Mingfei that Mr. Caesar was here too. Lu Mingfei asked in surprise where the boss was, then turned his head and looked at the crowd.

When his gaze fixed on him, the guy suddenly showed the look of a little corgi in a pet shop, expecting someone to buy him. He said to Caesar with a touched face, "Boss, you come to save me!"

Caesar froze, thinking, "Is it really okay for you to have a cute, pet-dog expression when you look like a monster? You with a green face and fangs, please stop trying to be cute. It's creepy."

And there are so many gangs around here who are eyeing you covetously... Save you? How can I save you?

Is he going to ride you in and out of the enemy's ranks like your famous Chinese general Zhao Zilong of Changshan? Or is he going to pull out his T Club membership card and buy you and the entire auction house at once?

But now he has no horse that can run a thousand miles and no money. The nobleman has fallen on hard times. Japan is not his territory. He has no shelter and no connections here. Even the tattered jacket he wears was generously given to him by the fishermen. Can't you see that they are all in the same boat?

"Exhibit No. 0, starting price... 10 million!" The host on the stage was already announcing the bid.

Caesar gritted his teeth, thinking whether to snatch Lu Mingfei here or wait until he was sold and then rob his seller.

In a corner of the venue where no one noticed, a dark shadow sneaked into the backstage.

Chapter 243: In the Darkness, Chaos Begins

"Twenty million, I'll give you twenty million. This thing is so rare!"

"Twenty-eight million dollars. I decided to buy him and use him as our gang's mascot. He looks like he can ward off evil spirits!"

"Thirty million! No! Thirty-five million! He's very worth studying! He's definitely worth studying!"

……

The bidding was crazy, soaring at an unprecedented level. There were actually ordinary people and mixed-race people who came to this exhibition and auction.

Ordinary people would think that Lu Mingfei in the cage is a new species that has never been seen before and has high research value. They would be surprised to find that this must be a milestone discovery in the biological world.

The higher-ranking hybrids actually saw that this was the state after being transformed into a dragon. Originally, for the hybrids, transforming into a dragon meant losing consciousness and abandoning their identity as humans, but Lu Mingfei's ideology seemed quite normal, and he could even talk nonsense and make precise complaints.

If we can thoroughly study the balance between dragons and humans, its value in the field of hybrid bloodlines will be no less than the advent of nuclear bombs in the military field!

In fact, there is another special type of people in the venue, who are also unusual in the world of mixed-bloods.

They were one of the few people present who knew the cause of the devastating tsunami not long ago... the bombed-out burial ground of the gods, the severed road to the underworld, and those corpse guards with snake tails and human bodies... Each of these people looked at Lu Mingfei calmly but with fanatical eyes, as if they had seen a god banished to the human world.

In their opinion, Lu Mingfei was the one who returned from the Yellow Springs Road, or the Road to Becoming a God, so he must have at least seen the key that symbolizes the ultimate evolution!

This appearance is a sign of the beginning of evolution!

Some of them really wanted to bid to take the only clue to this evolutionary path for themselves, even if it meant losing everything... But they couldn't, because the adult who never showed up had issued an order, and all the "ghosts" belonging to the fierce ghost group had to obey.

Thinking of the existence of that adult, everyone felt as if a poisonous snake was crawling across their back. Once they disobeyed the adult's orders, the venomous snake would tear open their skin, drill into their heart and lungs, and gnaw at their internal organs... Anyone who was his enemy would end up in a miserable end.

If Lu Mingfei knew what these guys were thinking, he really wanted to say that you guys are overthinking it. If you want to become like this, you don’t need any key, you don’t need to take the path to becoming a god, and you don’t need to be afraid of that adult.

Just take the medicine, just take the medicine. One bottle will refresh your mind, two bottles will keep you from getting tired, and after taking three bottles, the god you are thinking of will be moved, and then you can go to the underworld to accompany her.

"Five hundred million!"

Suddenly, a quiet quotation came from the back row of the venue. The volume was not loud, but it was resounding.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, their gazes focused on the back of the venue. The figure of 500 million pierced everyone's nerves. The previous bid had been 240 million, and the increase had been slow and difficult.

After all, most of the people participating in the bidding are gangs. Although some of them have accumulated astonishing financial resources, it is impossible for them to squander all their resources in one go for an unknown creature. The gangs still need to operate and develop, and a bid of over 100 million is a sky-high price that most gangs cannot afford.

When the bid reached 240 million, it was clear the round was nearing its end. Honestly, this figure exceeded everyone's expectations, even the host was surprised and delighted. It was an unexpectedly high price, and he would receive an unexpectedly high commission. The closer an item gets to the finish line, the more cautious the bidder becomes. Everyone has a ruler in their heart, measuring the value of the item and the money. When the money exceeds the ruler, it's a loss, not worth the gain.

The jump from 240 million to 500 million was too crazy. The price difference of more than two times completely broke the rules of auction bidding... At this time, someone was surprised to find out.

"It's him! He was the one who just took the picture of Wizard Number Four!"

"Who the hell is he? How could he have such terrifying financial resources? He didn't even blink an eye when he spent 500 million US dollars? Is he the director of the Tokyo Finance Bureau?"

"Don't be silly. Why would the director of the Finance Department need wizards and monsters? To help him guard his house?"

Everyone was amazed at the financial resources of the man in the last row who had bought two lots in a row. He was a calm, middle-aged man, and they all speculated about his identity and status.

Only Caesar was different. He frowned deeply as he looked at the man. His intuition told him that things were not that simple. For the heir of the Gattuso family, being rich was not a rare thing. Caesar had participated in too many auctions, so he instinctively felt that something was wrong with the man.

Participating in an auction is like participating in a hunt. Every item is a prey. A qualified hunter should be excited, interested, and determined to win when facing the prey, but the man is too calm, too calm.

If he could pretend to be calm and low-key in the bidding environment, then no one could suppress the instinctive satisfaction and sense of accomplishment when he successfully bid for the item he liked and caught his prey... But Caesar could hear that the man's heartbeat was always steady, like the calm surface of a lake.

This was too weird. It wasn't what a normal buyer should be like. The man was like an emotionless puppet, as if someone was hiding behind him and manipulating the invisible threads to complete the process.

Who is standing behind him? Who initiated this auction? What is his purpose?

"Five hundred million dollars, deal! Gentle sir, item number zero is yours!" At the booth, the host happily dropped the hammer, declaring the transaction a success.

The middle-aged man in the back row nodded and smiled symbolically.

At this moment, a low, impatient sound of electric current suddenly passed by, the spotlights on the booth suddenly went out, and the large screen also dimmed. Everyone seemed to be blindfolded by hundreds of invisible hands at the same time. Their vision turned dark in an instant, and the venue became chaotic and noisy in an instant.

"Protect the exhibits! Protect the items!" the host yelled, instinctively thinking someone was trying to rob the auction items.

He took out his cell phone and followed the faint light. He saw that Exhibit No. 0 was still in the iron cage. He felt relieved and then directed several etiquette ladies to quickly push the exhibit to a safe place backstage.

After entering the dark corridor, the other etiquette ladies had already fled, and only Zhen was pushing Lu Mingfei forward alone.

"It got dark so suddenly. Is there a power outage?" Aso Makoto asked in a low voice while pushing the cart towards the backstage.

"It shouldn't be an accidental power outage. It looks like it was caused by someone." Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment, "Someone cut off the power."

"It just happened to happen when you were about to make the deal. Who's going to stop you from being auctioned off?" Aso was quite clever. She leaned closer to the cage and lowered her voice. "That's great! I was just worrying about what to do if you, Mr. Lu, were sold out. Now I have plenty of time!"

"Huh? Plenty of time? What are you going to do?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"Save you! I just noticed that the keys to all the cages are in a silver box backstage. I don't know where those boxes are now, but they definitely haven't been taken away from backstage." Zhen said, "Wait until I find the key. I can let you out once I find it!"

"Don't! Don't do this!" Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice, "Miss Zhen, although I don't know how you came here and found this part-time job, the situation here is obviously more complicated than you imagined."

"The gangs here are completely different from the gangs you know. They are not kids like Noda Hisashi, nor are they as reasonable as the law enforcers of the main family. If you just come here to be an etiquette lady to go through the motions, there may be no danger, but once you touch their interests, your life may be in danger." Lu Mingfei's tone was extremely serious.

"But you'll be in danger if you continue like this," Makoto Aso said seriously. "Although I don't know why you became like this, I know you're a very good person, very gentle and kind. You used a very wise method to resolve the conflict in the toy store, guide Shou-kun onto the right path, and take care of the store's business. I've actually always wanted to thank you, but I didn't know how..."

"Miss Zhen, listen to me. I've only been traded away temporarily, but I won't die. You should have seen my abilities. I know how to get out of this situation." Lu Mingfei said, "But you're different. If you're caught doing this, you'll end up in a terrible situation. I'm not kidding."

"But I can't just stand by and watch you get into trouble. That would make my conscience uneasy." Zhen said, "Please rest assured, I will pay attention to my safety. If the bad guys find me, I will run. I have practiced track and field. Many boys in the school can't catch up with me."

"Don't you understand? This isn't a question of whether you can catch up or not. They have guns. How can you outrun them, no matter how fast you run?"

"We're here. Please be patient here. I'll be back as soon as possible." It was as if she didn't hear Lu Mingfei's warning.

She put the cart in a corner, took off her high heels and walked away quickly. Her thin silk socks made very light noises as she stepped on the ground, like a silent cat.

"It's really enviable. In such a situation, there are still beautiful girls who risked their lives to rescue you. You must have done a lot of good deeds in your previous life." A voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

"Who?" Lu Mingfei turned his head, narrowed his golden eyes slightly, and stared vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from in the darkness.

Through the dim light of the golden pupils, Lu Mingfei saw that there was an iron cage not far away from him, and inside it was a skinny figure slowly moving towards the side of the cage away from him.

"It's me, your friend. Don't you remember me? We've talked before." A thin and sickly face gradually emerged from the pitch-black iron cage, with a strange light emanating from behind its long black hair. "Number Four, I'm Number Four. I'm the wizard!"

The wizard man smiled and said... another pair of golden eyes lit up in the darkness.

……

"Gentlemen, someone has gone to check the circuit malfunction. Please remain where you are and wait for the circuit to be restored. Our auction will then reopen."

After the incident, the host tried hard to maintain order in the venue, but the scene was still chaotic.

The gangs occupied most of the venue. None of them were peaceful guys. They were like a series of time bombs. As long as the fuse of their restlessness was ignited, these guys would explode one after another.

I don't know who fired the first shot, and then several gunshots rang out in succession. The sound of bullets hitting the marble floor echoed in the closed and empty underground hall, deafening, as if it penetrated the eardrum and hit the human nerves directly.

Caesar was also stunned for a moment, and obviously he didn't realize who created this chaos.

But Caesar really wanted to thank this person, because just when he was worrying about how to rescue Lu Mingfei, this person created a dark environment at the right time, and darkness was exactly Caesar Gattuso's home turf!

A waiter with a gun rushed towards the booth. When passing by Caesar, a foot wearing Martin boots stretched out from the seat at the right time, causing the waiter to stumble. Caesar took the opportunity to snatch the gun from his hand.

Other children’s fifteenth birthday presents might be Gundam models or game consoles, but Caesar’s fifteenth birthday present was a silver Desert Eagle. All the guns in the world were familiar to him; he was a young weapons expert.

The gun felt quite heavy in his hand, and Caesar immediately realized that it was a short-barreled hunting rifle. The muzzle was made of cold metal and was filled with lead bullets. This type of bullet did not have strong penetrating power, but when fired together at close range, it was extremely powerful. A single shot to the chest or head could kill a person.

"It can be used as a makeshift." Although it is not his usual Desert Eagle, he has also received rigorous training in hunting rifles and shotguns.

It was pitch black all around, with very low visibility. The seats were crowded with people, and verbal and physical conflicts could easily break out between the gangs pushing and shoving. It was too difficult to move in such a situation, but Caesar was Caesar after all. He relied on the domain of the sickle-weasel, and cleared the way with a short-barreled shotgun in one hand and a dick pusher in the other. He often used the back of the knife or the butt of the gun to hit the people around him, and they fell one after another.

He was weaving through the crowd that was like a black tide, and was about to go backstage through the side passage to find Lu Mingfei and Makoto Aso, when he suddenly heard a familiar noise coming not far from him.

It was the middle-aged man who took the photo of Wizard No. 4 and Lu Mingfei. Caesar kept locking onto his heartbeat and monitoring his movements. It was obvious that the man was also rushing backstage at this time.

The man came to the entrance of the passage, and suddenly a dark shadow flashed from the side. A heavy hunting knife was placed on his shoulder, and the threatening blade was pressed tightly against his neck. A cold voice sounded behind him.

"You should know something about this auction. But now I need the keys to those cages. I guess you know where they are. Don't answer me, just take me there. I don't want to be rejected. You should know the consequences of rejecting me."

At the same time, in the dark passage ahead, another dark shadow was waiting there quietly.

Chapter 244 Caesar vs. Chu Zihang!

The cold blade was pressed tightly against the edge of his neck, and the man didn't dare turn his head to see who had kidnapped him.

He only felt that the voice was cold and arrogant, with the irresistible majesty of an emperor. Faced with such an order, the man could no longer remain calm and composed when he quoted the price. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, his throat rolled and he couldn't help swallowing, and his head nodded wildly like a rattle.

The man took slow steps and walked into a corridor that was even darker than the hall. He could feel the burly figure behind him sticking closely to his back, like a ghost that could not be shaken off.

The man had never felt that this passage was so creepy. Because it was located underground, there were no windows and the lights were out. It was so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of him. He couldn't see the road in front of him and could only grope along the wall and take tentative steps, like a blind man who could not see, or like a mouse that came to steal the landlord's surplus food.

The man was thankful that the person who kidnapped him was not as irritable as ordinary gangsters. Instead, he patiently followed his slow steps. However, the broad and heavy hunting knife was always across his shoulder, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He was already sweating profusely, and felt like a heavy shackle and guillotine was placed on his neck, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

Originally, Caesar's attention was on the man in front of him. After walking a distance, he found that the man was quite honest.

He had been using the sickle-weasel to monitor the man's heartbeat and discovered that ever since Dick Tudo was placed on the man's neck, his heartbeat had been at a very high frequency. This indicated that the man was quite nervous and his adrenaline was surging. The body's instincts could not deceive a person. This meant that the man was indeed a puppet pushed to the stage by the person behind the scenes. If this guy was the big boss behind the scenes, this level would be too easy to pass.

When Caesar was thinking about whether this auction was related to the Eight Clans of Sheqi, he was suddenly stunned. His steps suddenly stopped, and a chill rushed from his spine to the top of his head.

The entrance to the corridor he and the man were passing through was located on the side of the venue and was very hidden. There were several passages leading from the venue hall to the backstage. Caesar found this place through the sickle-weasel. Before entering the passage, he tried to listen to the movement in the passage, but could only hear the noise coming from the hall echoing here, which meant that there was no one here originally.

But when Caesar released the kamaitachi again and focused his attention on the road ahead, he suddenly heard a heartbeat!

It's not just the heartbeat, there's also long, slow, and regular breathing sounds, so faint that they can be ignored!

He must be a person who has received rigorous training. He knows very well how to conceal himself in a dark environment. The frequency of each call is accurate to the second. If he does not possess a word spirit similar to Kamaitachi, you will not be able to detect this person even if he is standing in front of you in an absolutely dark environment!

The man was standing not far in front of him, and the man in front of him would almost be sticking to him if he took two more steps!

Caesar glanced sideways and saw a straight shadow standing quietly in the dark corner. It was like an extremely good predator waiting for an opportunity to strike. There was a faint murderous aura around him, waiting for the moment when the prey was delivered to his mouth, and then he would reveal his ferocious fangs and kill with one blow!

Caesar sneered, it was still unclear who was the prey and who was the hunter!
