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

This woman...this woman!

"How could there be a guy like that here whose bloodline is far superior to yours? Are you saying there is an ancient dragon hiding in this hall?" A guest sitting in the first row had experienced the oppressive power of Zero Point's golden eyes up close, and he questioned loudly.

Ling ignored him. Her eyes looked through the crowded crowd like ants to the back row, and finally stopped at position 25.

Ling looked at Lu Mingfei silently, as if asking: I have already paid the money for you, why don’t you take action?

The distinguished guests present also followed Zero's gaze, and hundreds of pairs of golden eyes shot towards him like hundreds of bright light bulbs.

"This guy..." Lu Mingfei was stunned when he saw Ling's half-questioning and half-threatening look. He was like an emperor who was pushed onto the throne before he had prepared himself mentally and was in a dilemma, unable to sit or stand up.

Auntie, who needs you to pay for it? If you pay it yourself, the secret party will reimburse you, and you can also take a quarter of the commission from Su Enxi. If you pay it all for him... Isn't this money like a duck in your mouth? A huge sum of money just flew away like that...

And he really didn't want to be so high-profile. Not only because of Ange's reminder, but more importantly, he'd been traveling all over the country for the past six months and his strength had grown a lot... His golden eyes seemed to be getting more and more terrifying... If Lu Mingfei's previous aura of dominance rivaled Chu Zihang's eternal golden eyes, or even slightly overshadowed them, then his current aura could be described as overwhelming! Like the domineering Haki in One Piece.

Now he doesn't dare to use his golden eyes casually. When he was at Zengmu Shoal, he released his aura so much that a child who was peeing at the village entrance was so scared that he peed on him!

"Mingfei, they are all watching you. Not only them, but also my old friends who are at odds with the secret party. They are also hiding in the dark. Those old guys who are half buried in the ground still think that the secret party has no successor except me, Hilbert Jean Ange." Ange's voice rang in Lu Mingfei's ears, "Free the lion in your heart and let them see how excellent our 'S' class is!"

"How about giving the whole world a scare?"

Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw Ange hugging a noble lady wrapped in mink fur, holding a glass of red wine that was as red as blood. The old man raised his glass to him from a distance, then tossed his cool and refreshing silver hair, smiled and drank the red wine in the glass.

"Scare the whole world? Sounds... not bad!" Lu Mingfei grinned.

The principal has toasted him, so he should at least give something in return, right?

Let him put an amazing end to this long feast of dragons.

"Stop talking nonsense. This guy doesn't even dare to light up his golden eyes. I sat next to him throughout the entire banquet..." Neo was still speaking sarcastically on the stage.

But he closed his mouth the next second and almost fell to the ground... because he saw a pair of eyes.

"Whisper of the Earth."

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and called out the name softly. The armor in the display case far away on the auction table was vibrating wildly, and each gem flashed a dazzling rainbow light, like a devout believer who had been summoned by the lord, buzzing non-stop.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, and the golden light disappeared. The pressure was like a tsunami that covered the sky and the sun, sweeping across the entire huge venue. The explosion-proof glass on the stage that imprisoned the armor was shattered in an instant, and the half-finger thick glass fragments shot out like bullets, flying in all directions.

The alchemical matrix on the gorgeous armor automatically activated and opened and closed, flying over the crowd and passing through the drooping neon lights in the hall... as if it was paying homage to its supreme god.

Chapter 122 Negotiation Genius Lu Mingfei

"Brother, you may look cold on the outside, but you're actually quite warm-hearted."

On a bright red double-decker Chicago sightseeing bus, a boy and a girl walked through the crowded crowd together. His arms subconsciously protected the front to help the girl separate from the dense crowd of tourists. A brown Winnie the Pooh balloon floated high above their heads.

"We are going out for entrance training. You haven't officially enrolled yet. I have the obligation to be responsible for your life safety." Chu Zihang said seriously.

"But I said I felt stuffy in the room and wanted to go out for training, and you immediately agreed to it, senior brother. You're a science guy who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. I really like your approach!" Xia Mi said, blinking her big eyes.

Chu Zihang's cold face twitched slightly. In the past, only Lu Mingfei would tease him in this tone. Now there was the outgoing Xia Mi. But Xia Mi was a girl. How to deal with a girl who spoke so much nonsense... Chu Zihang had not had time to figure it out.

A slight ripple appeared in Xia Mi's heart, and she suddenly looked up at a corner of the city where tall buildings stood.

"He took the bait." Xia Mi muttered softly, with a sly smile of success on the corner of his mouth.

"What's the bait?" Chu Zihang turned around and asked.

"Hey, Senior Brother, is your hearing so good too?" Xia Mi exclaimed, "I'm talking about you. Let me tell you a secret, I'm actually a female devil. I asked you out because I'm planning to find a secret corner to secretly eat you up. Are you scared?"

Chu Zihang curled the corners of his mouth. He really couldn't handle women. This was probably the only thing he admitted was inferior to Caesar... After all, that noble young man seemed to be adept at getting along with any type of women.

Xia Mi smiled cunningly. She was certainly not talking about Chu Zihang, but a certain bait that had been released... She could clearly feel that a small fish had started to bite the hook, but it was only a small fish the size of a palm. Xia Mi pouted and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Was it just this level?

It totally doesn't meet my expectations.

Before long, her heart felt like warm waves rolling up again. Hey, there's a bigger fish... But it's still not what she expected, the intensity is still far from enough.

That’s probably it… Xia Mi sighed softly.

Suddenly, Xia Mi seemed to have lost all her strength. Before her brain could react, her body collapsed to the ground without any warning.

In the lake of her heart... a huge wave suddenly rolled up, as if it was swept by a devastating tsunami, and the waves continued.

The crowd screamed and dispersed. They didn't know why this beautiful oriental girl suddenly fell down, holding her chest, as if she had suffered some kind of heart attack.

"How is it possible... How is it possible..." Xia Mi muttered dully, "How can there be such a person in this world... Could it be that a dragon king ate his twins after awakening? The sky and the wind? Or the ocean and the water?"

Although the power was not enormous, it was extremely profound, like a long needle piercing through her skin and flesh straight into the essence of her soul... It seemed to come from a life form higher than her... a majestic monarch, or a supreme god.

"Xia Mi?" Chu Zihang pushed through the crowd and came to Xia Mi, but found that the girl's body had already collapsed, as if her soul had been sucked out.

At this time, he didn't care about the taboos between men and women. He helped Xia Mi up. They were on the open-air platform on the second floor of the sightseeing bus. Some people around them selflessly gave up their seats quickly.

"Thank you." Chu Zihang whispered thanks and helped Xia Mi to the chair. He squatted down, and after 0.1 seconds of hesitation and mental struggle, he gently pulled away Xia Mi's hands that were covering her chest, unbuttoned the girl's coat, and pressed his cheek against her chest through a layer of vest.

He was listening to Xia Mi's heartbeat to determine whether the girl had a heart problem.

Boom, boom, boom...

Chu Zihang frowned, his heart beating rapidly and powerfully, and with his face pressed against Xia Mi's heart, he could feel the even breathing and powerful ups and downs, like rippling water waves.

Not only is there nothing wrong with this girl's heart, it's even as healthy as a buffalo!

"Brother..." A faint voice came from above. Chu Zihang subconsciously looked up and met Xia Mi's resentful and fiery eyes. "Is this... soft, girl?"

After Xia Mi came to her senses, she found that Chu Zihang was still trying to tear off her coat with his hands, and his cold and handsome face was pressed against her chest. He was obviously a handsome guy, but his behavior was so bad. She almost bit out these words viciously through her teeth.

"This is a misunderstanding." Chu Zihang looked at the girl's face that was about to erupt like a volcano and said in silence.

When disaster was imminent, he really wanted to imitate his junior brother Lu Mingfei and say a few nonsense to ease the atmosphere... But he couldn't think of a single word, and his mind was blank.

……

Ange, with his hands in his pockets, hummed a rhythmic aria, with Lu Mingfei beside him. The two of them were walking through the VIP passage of the Chicago Opera House to the backstage.

This long and narrow corridor is lined with famous paintings on both sides, from Van Gogh's "Starry Night", Monet's "Sunrise" to Rubens' "The Raising of the Cross".

The scarlet ceiling, walls and ground, when the sunlight shines on them, flow with gorgeous colors between blood and roses. Walking on them is like crossing a sea of ​​crimson flowers on the other shore.

"Both things fell into your pocket. Congratulations, Ange." The faint greeting sounded like it came from an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Ange stopped, and Lu Mingfei followed suit. A short figure was projected on the ground, hunched over and leaning on a cane. Ange looked down at the figure and was silent for a long time. Lu Mingfei also remained calm.

At the end of the passage, two security guards were waiting with a cart. In the black hard-shell box on the cart was the set of alchemical swords worth 101 million US dollars, and in the new display case wrapped in a black curtain was the alchemical armor that he had spent 500 million to buy for Lu Mingfei, or in other words, for the secret party.

Ange waved to the security guard in the distance: "Just put my things at the door for me, no one will dare to take them."

Ange didn't look back, but Lu Mingfei turned his head. He saw a skinny old man wearing round-frame glasses and a cowhide rolled-brimmed hat. He looked like a retired Texas Ranger, with a worn police badge on his hat.

The old man smiled, the deep wrinkles on his face wrinkled, and he waved at Lu Mingfei kindly.

"It's Henkel, you're such an annoying guy again, remember? In 1899 in Texas, you shot me with your alchemical revolver when I turned around. Since then, I especially hate you calling me behind my back." Ange curled his lips like an angry old man.

"It's been a hundred years, you're not still holding a grudge, are you?" The man behind him smiled kindly. "I'm sorry I forgot, but you, Ange, are such a vindictive person. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so old and still be holding a grudge against the dragons for what they did to you."

"I'm not holding a grudge. I live for this. If I had forgotten about it, you would be talking to yourself in front of my tombstone now." Ange still didn't turn around.

"It's the opposite, isn't it? I'm incredibly old, but you're still as agile and upright as a young man. You're like a thief who steals time. Apart from the wrinkles on your face, I can't even see any traces of time on you." Henkel sighed. "Back then, your 'Time Zero' could only delay 4 seconds, but now it's over 10 seconds, right? I'm no longer the 'Quick Hand Henkel' I used to be."

"But your 'Holy Judgment' is so annoying. I'm still not sure I can escape your judgment."

"My judgment can only affect one person at a time." Han Gao glanced at Lu Mingfei beside Ange, "But you have such an outstanding young man standing next to you, so outstanding... I envy your secret party and feel my heart pounding."

"Mingfei, he may not be a competent shill, but he is indeed our best young man." Angé patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, his tone full of pride.

"You've already snatched both of them. Don't be so ungrateful." Han Gao smiled and shook his head, without a trace of anger. "Don't you want to come in for a drink? Everyone's here."

Ange slowly turned around and saw a crimson door hidden in the wall on the side of the corridor slowly opening. A hunchbacked old man led him and Lu Mingfei into the room.

There were thirteen high-backed leather chairs in the room, and each chair was occupied by a handsome young man. They all greeted Ange in the same way, raising their right fists and showing the silver rings on their index fingers - thick and simple rings with different totems on the huge ring faces, which symbolized their respective family crests.

What is interesting is that the person sitting at the top of the group of thirteen young people was Lu Mingfei's old acquaintance, Neo, Neo Gonzalez. After greeting Ange, he glanced at Lu Mingfei with a sinister look.

"No need for introductions, right? Hilbert Jean Ange, a well-known financier in the circle, our big client, and also the president of Kassel College. The young man next to him is Lu Mingfei, who is younger than everyone here." Han Gao sat at the table and motioned Ange and Lu Mingfei to sit wherever they wanted.

"Is this the family representative of your generation?" Ange glanced at the well-dressed young people and lit a cigar.

"They're all the most outstanding talents from each family, led by Neo from the Gonzales family. You should have seen him at the auction." Han Gao pointed at Neo, who had flamboyant red hair. "What a pity, truly a pity! He almost could have snatched one of the items from Mr. Lu Mingfei. The thing you want must be a treasure of extraordinary value!"

"Just a little bit? That 'just a little bit' is a world of difference." Ange took a puff of his cigar, exhaled the smoke and attacked mercilessly, as if to say that Neo, the best among them, was not even worthy of carrying Lu Mingfei's shoes.

Neo looked at Lu Mingfei with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire with anger.

"You're still as ruthless as ever, Ange." Henkel just smiled. "On December 7, 1941, at the port, our negotiations were interrupted by the alarm. Do you want to continue now? Negotiations between the Secret Party and our allies?"

"What a distant number! Half a century has passed. You are already very old, Henkel. Some of the old guys of our generation have died, and some are lying in hospital beds with oxygen tubes inserted in their throats. Because of this damn pathetic dragon gene, they will not die suddenly from illness, but their organs will slowly fail." Ange said reminiscingly.

"I am too old, and I want to save all my strength for the battlefield. Now the young people of our secret party have grown up. If they want to negotiate, it's okay. He will negotiate with you on my behalf." Angers lightly nodded at Lu Mingfei with his hand holding the cigar.

"Can he represent the secret party?" Han Gao looked hesitant.

"At least he can fully represent me. You saw him at the auction just now. He's completely capable of handling things on his own, isn't he?" Ange slapped his head. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you to my student Lu Mingfei, a sophomore at Kassel Academy. He's S-ranked and has killed a second-generation species and exterminated so many dangerous hybrids... I've lost count."

The young people looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. Han Gao also looked at Lu Mingfei deeply. "S" level bloodline, the ability to kill the next generation, and Ange bluntly said that he could fully represent him... None of them had heard of a family with the surname "Lu" in China. Where did this scary young man come from?

"You are too kind, Principal." Lu Mingfei smiled embarrassedly and glanced at Angers who was puffing away at the cigarette. In his heart, he was madly criticizing this old man for smoking cigars and sipping champagne so calmly, and actually pushing him out as a shield without even saying hello... Such a troublesome matter must come at a different price!

"That's great. I met Mr. Lu at the previous auction, and we hit it off right away. I'm sure we can reach some kind of tacit understanding on the issue of renewing the alliance." Neo stood up and raised the champagne to Lu Mingfei.

"Of course. Just like at the auction, Brother Neo kept raving about Zero's beauty, and I agree. You know, Zero is probably the girl I'm closest to at Kassel Academy." Lu Mingfei also raised his glass and said something rambling, then abruptly changed the subject and brought it back to the negotiation. "Even the way you look at girls is the same. What could be more in tune with each other than this?"

Neo's serious gloom disappeared in an instant. This kid actually secretly mocked him for being lustful in public!

"I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so powerful, but also so... unique in his speaking style." Neo raised an eyebrow. "We're eager to have a dynamic young man like you leading the hybrid race. If the secret party were filled with capable people like Brother Lu, we could look forward to the day when the dragon race's history would be completely ended. We're willing to provide assistance beyond the battlefield."

"You mean... you want to be investors in the secret party? Like shareholders in a listed company?" Lu Mingfei asked with a smile. "But I'm sorry, those stubborn old men on our Kassel school board wouldn't agree to anyone taking away their power."

"No, I mean we can..." Neo took a deep breath, but was interrupted by Lu Mingfei before he could finish his sentence.

"Or you can be the cheerleaders for the secret party? We will be responsible for wielding swords to slay dragons, and you will be responsible for hiding in the corner to cheer us on... Is it hard to understand? Just like the basketball babes during the NBA halftime break, the kind wearing miniskirts, holding colorful bats and shaking their hips." Lu Mingfei took a sip of the golden champagne, looking at Neo's increasingly ugly face, he said seriously.

Chapter 123 Principal, can I beat him?

"Are you humiliating me?" Neo's face was so gloomy that black water seemed to seep out.

"I'm just kidding. You have to know that I'm probably the only one in the entire secret party willing to talk nonsense like this with you. If Frost Gattuso, the representative of the Gattuso family on the board of directors, came to negotiate with you, he probably wouldn't even give you a chance to propose something." Lu Mingfei shrugged. "Hey, compared to those radical guys, don't you think it's easier to negotiate with a moderate like me?"

Lu Mingfei looked around and found that everyone had a gloomy face, as if no one got the funny point of his nonsense, so he muttered that these people were really boring and shouted that he would drink a glass as punishment even if he said something wrong, then he raised his head and drank the expensive champagne in the glass.

Only Angers, who was standing aside, smiled with a sense of relief when he saw Lu Mingfei, who had single-handedly made the atmosphere awkward and frozen, still talking nonsense to himself.

This young man, who excels in both ability and academics, may also have a unique talent in negotiation... the old man thought.

"Jokes should first be based on the premise that they are truly funny, right? But in what you just said, I only heard sarcasm, and I didn't find it funny at all." Unlike Lu Mingfei who was telling dinner table jokes as if he was at home, Neo was very serious.

"Really? But I just heard you say 'help us in areas other than the battlefield'. I think I remembered it correctly." Lu Mingfei shrugged. "I thought you were joking."

"What do you mean?" Neo frowned.

"Please, use your little red-haired head to think about it. Does the secret party lack money? Obviously not, otherwise how did those two auction items end up in our hands? Do we lack people? Obviously not. In the world of mixed-bloods, there is no one who is more courageous than us in the secret party to rush to the battlefield, right? We are not short of land, nor are we short of technology... So I really don't understand what you mean by 'help outside the battlefield'." Lu Mingfei looked helpless.

"This is easy to understand. The secret party has been hiding in a corner of the half-blood world all along. But once we cooperate, the entire half-blood society will open its doors to you, and trade routes all over the world will be open to you. We can use intermarriage to strengthen our bloodline and give birth to better offspring. Most importantly, we will provide unreserved support for your dragon-slaying plan!" Neo paced around the round table while recounting the grand ambitions of the half-blood world.

"In addition, if President Ange can propose our plan to the board of directors of Kassel College and manage to get those directors to pass it, we will also send people with huge donations to join the board of directors and form a powerful 'Ange faction'!" Neo's voice was full of temptation.

He looked closely at Ange's expression, but Ange had no expression at all. The old man just waved his hand, indicating that the negotiator representing the secret party this time was Lu Mingfei, and there was no need to make big promises to bribe this old guy.

"As for Mr. Lu Mingfei, we will support you to become the next leader of the Secret Party. Once you take over the Secret Party, we will work together from inside and outside. At that time, the Secret Party will usher in a new era. It will no longer belong to the Gattuso family or the board of directors, but to... us!" Neo leaned over and said in Lu Mingfei's ear.

"Then I'll become a puppet with no power? After you drive out those ancient families in the secret party, you'll take over and become the new generation of the school board?" Lu Mingfei said with a smile, "That's no different from the current situation. It would be better to let the current school board continue to be regents. At least those families have much deeper foundations than you. The Gattuso family alone can suppress you. It just so happens that I have a good relationship with the heir of the Gattuso family. We often swim naked together."

"Do you think this is a good thing? No, the stronger the power of the board of directors, the deeper their control over Kassel College!" Neo patted the back of Lu Mingfei's chair.

"And ours won't be a manipulative relationship, but a win-win one. I can guarantee to Mr. Lu Mingfei that we can sign a written contract. We will share the new world equally with you!" Neo said excitedly.

"What a generous speech... What about your conditions? You have given us so much help, you can't be doing charity, right? You are not angel investors or anything." Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows.

"We're willing to give generously, and naturally expect reasonable returns." Neo's tone was like that of a sleazy securities manager. "All we need is for you to share the secrets of Kassel Academy with us: the secrets of the dragon race, the Dragon King, the hybrids... Of course, we can also share resources. For example, we'll pay you, and you'll provide the skeletons of hunted second-generation dragons; or we'll pay you, and you'll provide alchemy and pureblood techniques... What a mutually beneficial arrangement!"

"You keep talking about paying. You really sound like a complete secondhand goods dealer!" Lu Mingfei commented on Neo's words. "But you did hit a nerve. I've been short of money since I was a child. I have to go to the internet cafe to surf the internet. I can only afford a bottle of Nutri-Express for an overnight stay. I have to ask my senior brother to pay for me to stay in a five-star hotel."

"Right, so paying is the most direct benefit, right? This is an era where you can make money with wisdom and knowledge. You sell us all the information about the secret party, and we pay you a satisfactory price. This is reasonable!" The inferior stock broker felt that he had found a sucker.

"But Brother Neo, you know, I majored in history in college." Lu Mingfei smiled.

"What does this mean?" Neo frowned slightly.

"I got full marks on both 'Dragon Family Trees' and 'Modern History of Half-Blood'. Although I'm quite satisfied with some aspects of the Secret Party, such as the old guys on the school board, I know that for the past few hundred years, the Secret Party has been the only one fighting the dragons alone, even though we were at a disadvantage."

Lu Mingfei's smile gradually faded.

"Our fellow immigrants to America established schools, manufactured weapons, gathered intelligence, and explored ruins. That's how the Secret Party and the current Cassel Academy came into being. Incidentally, I've also explored ruins and apprehended high-risk hybrids. Running around all over the place was exhausting and a hassle!"
