The man looked at Aso Makoto's gloomy face and his tone became more excited.
"That's the expression! That's the expression! I like this expression, it's perfect, keep it! You make me very excited. Let me think about it, if I violate you in front of this guy, will he be powerless? If Caesar Gattuso knew about it later, would he be very angry?"
The man stretched out his claws to grab Aso Makoto's clothes, but he suddenly let out a howl of pain.
A slender Japanese sword was unsheathed from an iron cage at the side. The sharp blade fell like thunder, blood splattered, and the man's ring finger and little finger were cut off at the root.
"If you attack Miss Zhen again, I guarantee that it will be your head that will fall off next time!" Lu Mingfei said coldly. If he hadn't been trapped in an iron cage and the distance was limited, this knife would have been enough to cut off the man's entire arm.
Lu Mingfei turned to look at Zhen: "Don't even think about opening the cage for me. Go find Caesar now!"
Zhen didn't care about the hot blood splashing on her face. After she came to her senses, she suppressed the huge fear in her heart, staggered to her feet, and stumbled towards the nearest passage.
"Do you think you can escape!" After the man recovered from the severe pain, he took a step forward and followed closely behind Aso Shin. His speed was much faster than Aso Shin, and it was only a matter of time before he caught up with the other.
There was darkness ahead, and behind her was a vicious man. Aso's mind went blank. She could only run desperately, hoping to reach Mr. Caesar...
Suddenly, in the darkness, she bumped into something head-on, like a solid wall, or a burly figure.
Chapter 246: The three of them gathered together and the real purpose was revealed!
A brief chase was taking place in the dark passage.
In front of him was a terrified girl, and behind him was a devilish man. The distance between them was less than twenty meters. Even though Aso Makoto had been on the track and field team in high school, the difference in speed between hybrids and humans could not be made up by track and field training. The twenty-meter distance difference was gone in a flash.
"Run, keep running, do you think you can escape?" The wizard man grabbed Aso Makoto's shoulders from behind with his withered hands, his tone angry and complacent.
But the next second, a more powerful hand reached out from the darkness in front of Aso Makoto and grabbed the man's wrist.
The man instinctively tried to break free, but found he couldn't pull his hand away. The more he struggled, the tighter the grip became, as strong as steel. The intense pain in his wrist made the man scream in fear. He felt as if the hand no longer belonged to him.
"I heard it from far away. I heard that you wanted to see... the wrath of Caesar Gattuso?" A cold voice sounded in the dark passage, and the temperature around seemed to drop a few degrees.
Along with this voice, a handsome figure walked out of the darkness.
He was wearing rivet-studded Martin boots and a Will-O-Wan boy's leather jacket, with a simple vest underneath. His long golden hair looked like boiled seaweed... Although he looked disheveled, his expression was as cold as that of a proud nobleman. The most impressive thing was his sea-blue eyes, which seemed to be filled with Siberian wind, frost, and snow.
"Mr. Caesar!" Zhen exclaimed excitedly, covering his mouth. It seemed that after seeing this person clearly, all the fear and panic disappeared in an instant.
The last moment she was thinking of Caesar's figure, and the next moment Caesar appeared in front of her and saved her. It was as magical as a dream come true.
"There are gangsters outside who are about to go berserk. It's not safe to go out now. Just follow me for now and don't stray too far away from me." Caesar instructed Zhen.
"Yeah." Zhen nodded vigorously, like a docile cat.
She came behind Caesar and found a figure hidden in the darkness. She almost screamed in fear.
After looking carefully, I found that it was actually someone I knew. It was the boy who came with Mr. Caesar and Mr. Ming Fei that night. I remember Mr. Ming Fei called him "senior brother". My impression of this senior brother was that he spoke very little and had very few expressions. He looked like a cold-blooded killer in the movies. As for his name... I only remember that this killer seemed to have the surname Chu.
"Hello, Chu Zihang, we met not long ago." Chu Zihang extended his hand politely, his expression and tone were indescribably capable, making people wonder whether he was about to hand over his business card and say, "I am a professional killer. Just tell me the name of whoever you want to kill, and I will take care of the rest."
"Oh, yes, I remember. Hello, Mr. Chu Zihang, I'm Aso Shin." Shin also bowed slightly and stretched out his hand to shake Chu Zihang's. "You can just call me Shin."
Compared to the friendly and sociable relationship between Chu Zihang and Aso Zhen, the situation on Caesar's side was much bloodier and more violent.
Caesar took a step forward, his tall figure exuding a majestic aura. The wizard was forced to retreat by this aura, but he could not escape. His wrist was still held in Caesar's hand. With a crisp "click", his palm fell down weakly, and the man also burst into a heart-wrenching wail.
"You will die! Your end will be miserable beyond imagination. You are the ones targeted by that lord. He possesses power that you cannot imagine. Those he wants to kill will not even see tomorrow's sun!" The wizard man covered his broken hand and cursed Caesar viciously. The severe pain made his tone hysterical.
"It won't be sunny tomorrow. I've checked the weather forecast and it says it will rain tomorrow. Could it be that your adult is the host of a weather forecast program?" Caesar sneered.
"Your Excellency is right. The Gattuso family is full of arrogant people, especially their heir." The wizard said through gritted teeth, "Caesar Gattuso... one day you will pay for your arrogance in blood. I believe that day will not be far away!"
"Very good, you are more courageous than I thought. Even after having one of your hands broken, you still dare to speak harshly. This makes me curious about what kind of guy the man behind you is." Caesar pressed forward and forced the wizard to retreat until the man had no way to retreat.
The wizard turned around and found that his back had hit the hard iron cage. Lu Mingfei in the cage was looking at him with cold eyes. The man could see that it was the look of someone staring at a trapped beast.
Asshole, the other party is trapped in the cage and unable to escape, but you have become a prisoner invisibly!
"Oh yes, the key!" Aso suddenly exclaimed, "I had already found the key, but then this man snatched it away and I don't know where I lost it!"
"It's okay, you don't need the key, just give it to me." Chu Zihang said to Zhen.
He approached Lu Mingfei's iron cage, placed his hands on the bars, and muttered the ancient dragon script. In a short moment, the metal bars heated to a soft, almost melting point. Lu Mingfei, holding the knife in both hands, arced with light, slashing through the cage that bound him.
"How's your recovery going?" Chu Zi asked as he helped Lu Mingfei cut off the shackles.
"It's much better than at the beginning. Although the weakness is still obvious, fortunately I can barely hold the knife." Lu Mingfei moved his wrists and ankles. The fine scales were still attached to the skin and had not completely disappeared.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that excessive use of strength did come at a high price.
In fact, the price should have been even more serious, but fortunately a girl took on part of it for him in some way, so Lu Mingfei did not become a completely out-of-control beast.
Lu Mingfei looked at the middle-aged man who had fainted on Caesar's shoulder and asked, "Is this... the man who bought me?"
"Not only you, this man bought him too." Caesar glanced at the wizard man beside him.
He was not worried about the other party escaping, because he had Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang by his side. The three of them were the most luxurious team and star lineup in the entire Kassel Academy. Even if they joined forces to face a Dragon King, they should have room to fight back. If an ordinary half-blood could slip away from under their noses, then the secret party's dragon-slaying mission would be ruined, and it would not matter if the dragon was not slain.
"I was about to ask him some questions, but this guy was just scared unconscious by Chu Zihang." Caesar said.
"Didn't you knock him out with a shotgun?" Chu Zihang frowned slightly.
"If you hadn't attacked us, would I have knocked this guy out? Ultimately, the responsibility lies with you," Caesar said. "Honestly, you really should change your violent temper. It's a good thing you robbed and killed me, but what if it was a weak woman passing by? Like Miss Zhen? What if it was a weakened Lu Mingfei? Wouldn't you have accidentally killed your own junior fellow apprentice?"
Chu Zihang took a deep breath. He really wanted to argue with Caesar that he had enough judgment to tell whether the people passing by were dangerous, but arguing had never been his strong point. Besides, he was indeed the one who started the fight first. Now was not the time to argue. Chu Zihang would just accept that this was just a lesson.
Then he watched Caesar, who was scolding him for being too violent, throw the man to the ground as if he were throwing a dead dog. He squatted down, straightened the middle-aged man's head and supported it... He didn't perform artificial respiration, but slapped the man hard in the face, crisp and loud.
Chu Zihang twitched his lips, thinking, is this the etiquette of you nobles? Gently supporting someone's head before striking them, afraid of breaking their spine? Then next time, before I strike someone, I'll apologize and say, "I'm sorry, I'm going to strike you." It seems like changing my violent nature won't be that difficult.
The middle-aged man was awakened by severe pain, and when he woke up, he saw several ferocious faces appearing in front of him. One was as handsome as a fallen angel, one was as cold as a killer, and the other was neither fierce nor cold, but a monster covered with scales... The man gasped, wondering if he opened his eyes in the wrong way, and was about to faint again.
Caesar frowned slightly at the man who rolled his eyes. He pinched the man's cheek forcefully, picked up two severed fingers from the ground beside him, and shook them in front of the man. He was about to threaten him and said, "I'm just asking you a few questions. If you don't cooperate, you'll end up like this."
But before he could say anything, he heard the man on the ground yelling, "My hand! What happened to my finger? It hurts! Which gang are you from? How can you cut off someone's finger without even saying hello!"
The screams were heart-wrenching and painful, as if the mother had just died a second ago.
"What did he say?" Caesar didn't understand Japanese, so he turned and asked Lu Mingfei.
"He asked you why you cut off his fingers." Lu Mingfei looked at the middle-aged man helplessly, "Brother, no, uncle, please feel it carefully, okay? Your fingers are still growing well on your hands. I cut these two severed fingers off from someone else. You shouldn't feel any pain at all. Do you think you can really feel that much pain?"
The man touched his left hand in a daze, then touched his right hand, and when he found that both were intact, he burst into tears and turned into joy.
During this period, the wizard man tried to escape, but was caught by Chu Zihang and thrown into cage number four where he was imprisoned. Chu Zihang melted the part of the cage door that was close to the fence, twisted the two together, and the exit of the iron cage was completely welded shut.
"Are you sure you can get any useful information from him?" Chu Zihang questioned, "He doesn't look very smart."
"Who are you? And why are you attending this auction?" Caesar asked coldly, then turned to Lu Mingfei and said, "Please translate for me."
The man seemed to realize that Caesar was the leader of the group, and he said a lot of things in a babble.
"There's a lot of repetition. The general idea is that he's the president of a Tokyo trading company that collaborates with many gangs, belonging to a semi-gray industry. As for the purpose of attending the auction, he said that a certain person told him to attend, and that's why he came." Lu Mingfei summarized, hesitating for a moment before continuing, "He also asked you not to kill him, and he would give you a lot of money."
"You'd better keep that dirty money for your own funeral," Caesar said coldly. "Why did the so-called lord let you participate in this auction? What did he tell you?"
"He said there was no special reason, but because that boss saw that he was rich, and just like you said, he couldn't keep all the dirty money in his hands, so he used this auction to make him bleed." Lu Mingfei said, "That boss asked him to bid for lot number four and lot number zero. No matter what the lot is, as long as he raises the price sharply, those big gangs will know who sent him and won't compete with him."
Caesar immediately understood. No wonder the man's bidding method was so strange. After the bid was made, only some members of the small gang were surprised while the big gang was indifferent. It turned out that the entire auction was calculated. Special goods were sold to special people. From the organizer to the big seller, they were all the man's people. Presumably, the man really possessed tremendous power.
Caesar thought of the Sheqi Eight Families for a moment, then he thought of the elephant tortoise and shook his head in denial.
He didn't know much about the Sheqi Eight Families, but the other party was the emperor of the underworld, so there was no need to go to such lengths to deal with them. Caesar knew that part of the reason for this auction was to use Lu Mingfei to lure him and Chu Zihang out, but there were still too many suspicious points.
"One last question." Caesar looked directly into the middle-aged man's eyes. "Who is that gentleman behind you?"
A flash of panic crossed the man's eyes, and then he shook his head vigorously like a frightened wild dog.
"Asshole, do you want your fingers cut off?" Caesar said angrily.
The man said something in panic, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"He said he didn't know. He didn't know the identity of that adult. He only knew that he was a scary person, as if he had magical powers. With just one order, he could make countless people risk their lives for him," said Lu Mingfei.
"Hahahaha, that's great!" A voice came from the other side. It was the wizard in the cage laughing. "That master possesses such magical power. It's a pity that a minion like him is not worthy of knowing the master's identity."
"So you know?" Caesar asked the wizard man.
"Of course I'm not qualified." The wizard's face turned pale due to the blood loss and pain in his hands, making him look even more sinister. "But I am a wizard. I can see your future. I know you will all die here."
"Your witchcraft performance on stage was a very clear trick." Chu Zihang suddenly said, "You used some means to investigate those people beforehand and dug up some unknown past events. I listened carefully to your description. They were all crimes committed by those people. They firmly believed that these things were their private secrets, known only to the gods. So, you revealed these things in public, which easily broke down a person's psychological defenses. This is a common routine used by many 'mind-reading' techniques."
"Hehe, so what if you guessed this? Some people's deaths can be foreseen without witchcraft, such as... you."
Suddenly, a ringtone rang from the inside of the man's torn shirt. His face changed and he took out his cell phone, but Caesar snatched it away.
It's an anonymous text message
[The time has come. Let your mountain gods launch a general attack.]
"Mountain God Meeting?" Caesar frowned.
"When we went to Miss Zhen's shop that night, Xianggui said that there was a gang that betrayed the Sheqi Eight Families and provoked a conflict between the Wildfire Gang and the Ten Fists Society." Chu Zihang said.
"Are you the president of the Mountain God Society?" Caesar looked at the wizard man.
"No, I'm the military advisor," the man said, "but every president is my puppet."
"I said, I am indeed a wizard, and your death is indeed foreseeable, it will happen soon!" The man smiled wildly, and he quickly lifted the carpet under the iron cage No. 4, where there was a red wireless alarm.
The man slapped it hard.
Chapter 247: The Dangerous Situation of Reversals
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire underground building, as if hundreds of sickle-tailed weasels were screaming at the same time.
It was fine for Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, but the sudden surge in volume was undoubtedly a torture for Caesar, who had excellent hearing. Dozens of high-resolution noise sources poured into his mind at the same time, almost bursting his eardrums. Caesar had no choice but to close the kamaweasel's territory.
"Someone is rushing backstage, a lot of people, and crowds are pouring into every passage. It seems we are surrounded." This was the last information Caesar heard with the sickle-weasel.
He stared intently at the wizard, or rather the Mountain God Society's military advisor, his voice and expression as solemn as if filled with lead. He had originally thought he had the situation under control, the balance of victory tipped towards him, but the opponent's move was truly beyond his expectations.
After all, I was careless. Because this man who claimed to be a wizard performed a few stupid scenes, I thought he was just smart and could play some tricks. But I didn't expect that he could hide his meticulous mind so deeply. The stupid look was just deliberately pretended by the man to make people relax.
Just like a poisonous snake that shows off its colorful patterns but hides its fangs in its belly, it will always bite you fatally when you least expect it.
In fact, the man didn't want to escape at all. He just pretended to escape in an attempt to attract Chu Zihang's attention. He calculated that this taciturn killer would throw him into the cage again so that he could press the alarm device that had been designed in the number four iron cage long ago.
It's no exaggeration to say this serpent-like man truly has the ability to read minds. Even more terrifying is the person behind him who could make such a scheming man risk his life for him. Just who is he?!
"Are we going to break out?" Chu Zihang asked, "Or should we take him hostage? He just said that all the previous presidents of the Mountain God Society were his puppets, so his position in the Mountain God Society must be very high. If we capture him, his subordinates might be hesitant to act rashly."
"It won't work." Lu Mingfei shook his head. He looked at the man with a serious expression. "Since he dared to face us alone and put himself in such a dangerous situation, it means he is ready to sacrifice his life. We can't use someone who can abandon his life at any time as a bargaining chip."
The man laughed darkly, as if to express his approval of Lu Mingfei's words.
"They're coming for our lives. There's no room for negotiation, so the only option left is to break through." Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, "Can you use your 'Jun Yan' to clear the way?"
"It's difficult. This is a nearly enclosed space, and the power of the 'Jun Yan' is difficult to control," Chu Zihang whispered. "Not to mention that a massive explosion could potentially collapse the building, the air circulation here is very slow. The expansion and explosion of dust in the air will cause a drastic change in air pressure, and violent hot air will quickly fill the entire underground cavity. High-temperature air is more troublesome than flames. While it won't ignite a person, it will burn their skin all over their body."
"With our bloodline, we may be able to withstand the high temperature and violent airflow, but Miss Zhen will at least be severely burned." Chu Zihang said truthfully.
"I'm sorry." Zhen lowered his head with some guilt. "I should have listened to Mr. Ming Fei when he asked me to leave. I'm the one who's dragged everyone down."
"Don't say that, Miss Zhen. This isn't your fault. I'm very grateful that you risked your life to save me." Lu Mingfei shook his head gently. "Besides, Jun Yan's method of clearing the way isn't realistic. Besides the vicious gangsters, there are also some innocent people here. Others whose items were auctioned off but haven't been sold yet are likely nearby. And those hostesses and receptionists may not have had time to evacuate either."
"Damn it, we're surrounded by a bunch of rats!" Caesar cursed.
Cassell's ace combination seems to be in a dilemma. If only the three of them want to break out from here, it is not difficult, but the result will undoubtedly be abandoning Aso Makoto and other innocent people; but if they want to take care of these people, the violence they are good at cannot be fully utilized.
It's like a beast with its teeth and claws restrained, being surrounded by a group of crazy rats, but these rats are not good people, they are armed with guns.
The commotion spread from far away to nearby areas. The scattered and violent footsteps were extremely clear in the empty passage. After a while, the first group of people rushed out from the corridor in front of them on the right.
Caesar recognized these men immediately. Each of them had a knife and a pistol strapped to their waist, and their waiter uniforms impressed him. These were the waiters who had been roaming around the venue during the auction. It turned out they were all members of the Mountain God Society, a gang that had betrayed the Sheqi Eight Clans and was one of the initiators of the auction. They had already been spies throughout the venue before the auction even began.
They were eyeing Caesar and his men eagerly, but they did not act rashly. Several people standing in the front row took off their waiter uniforms, revealing the linings with a Buddhist dog and the word "mountain" painted on them. They muttered a few words in Japanese that Caesar could not understand, which seemed to be an angry warning.
I was really scared by so many ferocious gangsters, and half of my body was hidden behind Caesar.
"They told us to release Mr. Changchuan Xiaofulong, or they'd make us pay. If Mr. Changchuan died in our hands, they'd blow our heads off with shotguns," Lu Mingfei translated. "That's roughly what they meant."
"Changchuan Xiaofulong?" Caesar frowned.
"That should be this guy's name." Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the wizard man. "I didn't expect the members of your gang to be so loyal to you. So, using you as a bargaining chip to threaten them in exchange for our safety, this deal is not impossible to negotiate?"
"Of course my subordinates are loyal. You can use my life as a threat to agree to almost any terms with them." Changchuan Xiao Fulong looked at the members of the Mountain God Society who had arrived and smiled. "But I am also absolutely loyal to you, my lord. So I won't let my life become a bargaining chip for you. This alarm can indeed summon members of the Mountain God Society, but did I tell you that it can only summon the Mountain God Society?"
There was a constant noise and more scattered footsteps could be heard around, as if thousands of troops were converging here.
Men in black suits emerged from various passages one after another. They were from various gangs and seemed to have received an imperial decree from the emperor to gather here.
The so-called "emperor" certainly does not refer to the military advisor of the Mountain God Society. Perhaps he has the appeal of an emperor in his own gang, but there are also gangs here that are larger than the Mountain God Society. They don't have to obey the orders of the leaders of other gangs.
