Chapter 144: The Laurent Family
"Introducing the sixth member of the Board of Trustees, Elizabeth Yin. Laurent is also one of the youngest school trustees. β
"This is Lu Mingfei, my most beloved and proud student, whose strength and bloodline are well-deserved S-level. I should have arranged for you to meet earlier, you are of the same age, and you should have a lot in common. β
Ange smiled and helped the two of them introduce each other, and his tone was like an old father who matched his children and the object of his eye for the New Year.
This illustrious surname I had heard of not long ago, and the lord of the capital giants who could control the future movements of the world economy at will was actually only a young girl of twenty years old.
Her face was as noble as the sculpture of a famous Greek master, the black veil could not hide her thrilling beauty, and the black skirt and fur shoulders added a bit of unapproachable solemnity to her beauty.
But Lu Mingfei had no intention of appreciating this beauty, and the boy whose appearance was almost exactly the same as the appearance of the original body in his mind stirred his calm heart.
He was wondering if the boy was real, why he was here, and if it was really the genetic protogen.
He prayed to the emperor and to the Holy Lines in his heart - but he never received any answer.
The girl's gaze swept over Lu Mingfei's somewhat absent-minded face, and instead of saying hello to Lu Mingfei, she turned her head to look at Ange again:
"I don't see anything about him that deserves your full investment, but he's at least not as simple as he seems."
"You're still so discerning, my child."
Ange's words to Lisa were undeniable, and the kind smile on his face was full of the father's pride in his child who had excelled.
"After all, not everyone has the courage to throw the tasks assigned by the school board into the trash."
Lisa smiled like melting ice, "Frost is a special meeting because of this. β
"I can only say that Frost is making a big fuss, and I think he mainly wants to apply for the reimbursement bill I submitted."
Ange shrugged his shoulders and shook off the bits of snow off his shoulders.
"It's still some distance from the Splendid, so I can give you a ride if you don't mind."
Lisa's gaze swept around without leaving a trace.
The three of them have attracted the attention of many people, although Portofino is a tourist attraction, but Yin Lisabeth's silver Rolls-Royce is too high-profile, even the company that rents luxury cars does not have a car at such a price;
And Yin Lisabeth's own appearance and temperament like a queen and noblewoman are the focus, and the crowd of onlookers are curious about the identity of this beautiful young lady.
"Then it looks like I'll have to give up the snow in Portofino."
Ange smiled, but instead of immediately catching up with Lisa, he moved to Lu Mingfei's side:
"How?"
ββ¦β¦ What how? β
Lu Mingfei came back to his senses from his thoughts, a little puzzled.
"What do you think of Lisa's kid?"
"Looks like a normal person."
ββ¦β¦ I'm sure you didn't mean to be cool to get the girls' attention......"
Ange sighed, rubbing his forehead with a very helpless expression, "When I was your age, I eagerly leaned towards the pretty girl with a collection of poets' poems. β
Lu Mingfei temporarily let go of the existence of the boy and shifted his thinking to reality:
"That Yin Lizabeth. Is Laurent worth anything to me? β
"Yes, if you can chase her down with your charm, then ...... Well, in the words that are common all over the world, you can fight thirty ...... less No, three hundred years. β
Ange said very unorthodox words in a very serious tone.
ββ¦β¦β
"To cut a long story short, the school board is not a monolith, and it would be a good thing if you could get the support of a school manager."
β¦β¦
The driver in the black suit meticulously opened the door of the Rolls-Royce for Ange and Lu Mingfei, and Ange directly chose the co-pilot position,
There were only two soft seats in the back of the car, and the space in the middle was replaced by an automatic cup holder decorated with mahogany, and as soon as Lu Mingfei got into the car with his sword on his back, Ange deftly lowered the custom partition screen that separates the cab from the back seat - this partition screen is excellent for hiding certain secrets that cannot be heard by the driver.
The driver seemed to know Ange's identity, and seeing that his master did not object, he opened the shadow curtain of the car window to cut off the view of the crowd outside.
"I'm a little sleepy, let me squint for ten minutes to deal with Frost, you two young people take advantage of this time to talk more."
Before the black partition was lowered, Lu Mingfei saw the corners of Ange's side face.
The interior of the car fell silent all of a sudden, and only a slight push from the seat told you that the vehicle had begun to move.
The pretty look on the pretty face of the girl sitting opposite Lu Mingfei was also a little helpless, and Ange's desire to create a chance for them to be alone was not disguised at all.
Without any complaints against the elder, Lisa's black eyeliner eyes moved back to Lu Mingfei's faceβthe two of them looked at each other.
From an artistic point of view, Lisa is indeed very beautiful -
Lu Mingfei could see that it was from the beauty passed down from the genes, just like the Astartes who had undergone the transformation operation of the Holy Blood Angel, after the transformation, they all seemed to have a trace of perfection in the genetic original, and their faces became handsome and extraordinary.
After a moment, Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze, but he could still smell the unique fragrance of perfume flowing from the girl's body.
"Do you know how to play chess?"
Lisa broke the brief silence between the two with her mouth first, and the automatic cup holder slowly folded away, revealing a black and white chess board and two boxes of delicate black and white chess pieces.
"Personally, I'm good at drawing."
Lu Mingfei shook his head, the chess he played in the Weeper Clan was completely different from the chess in his hometown.
"It's a bit of a waste to spend ten minutes at the Splendid Hotel teaching you how to play chess." Lisa withdrew her hand to place the pieces, "I haven't drawn in a while, I was at the Royal Academy of Art before my father's accident. β
"Then we can come to the Holy Blood Pavilion at some time, and we may be able to exchange ideas about painting."
"Is this an invitation to go on a date?"
Lisa raised her eyes and stared at Lu Mingfei.
"Dating?"
Lu Mingfei was stunned, and after spending a few seconds pondering the meaning of this word, he shook his head:
"No, it's just an invitation to artistic exchange. Painting is a great way to bring peace of mind β and that's what you're lacking. β
"But I'm running out of time."
An LCD screen descended from Lisa's left side, and Lu Mingfei couldn't understand the various number symbols and red-green lines on it, but he should know everything about the heirs of the Laurent family.
If you pay attention to these things from time to time, but you really can't calm down and draw, you may be able to use the pen to move the lines on the paper as the lines on the screen.
"I've read your profile. Truth be told, I'm ready to hate you before this. β
"I thought that Ange would highly recommend investing in a young lion who was even more proud and noble than he was β and I generally don't like this kind of young man." β
"At your current biological age, you're one of those vigorous kids."
"The location is different, in the jungle where the jungle is the jungle of the jungle, if the beasts with their own territory do not show their fangs, they will be devoured by the provocative wolves."
"Let's get straight to the point."
Lisa withdrew her gaze from the LCD screen, "Although I would like to believe Ange's vision, I am carrying the entire Laurent family on my back, and your true past and purpose are only known to you and Ange, and it will be difficult for us to establish trust in cooperation." β
"My past doesn't matter, my current purpose is only to eradicate and purify all heretics and aliens on this planet."
Lu Mingfei said calmly.
A combatant soldier needs more than just soldiers, and logistics are equally important, especially for Lu Mingfei, who is used to fighting poor battles in the weepers.
So he's willing to take the time and patience to talk to this Elizabeth Yin β does the Laurent family sound richer than the eight families in Japan who collect protection money?
"Heresy? Abnormity? β
Lisa was slightly stunned, "Referring to the dragons and ......"
"Blasphemers who have harmed innocent human beings, who have gone out of the realm of humanity."
ββ¦β¦ Then it seems that you are a 'righteous partner'. But that doesn't mean the Laurent family can do the talking for you...... Because you have categorically refused to carry out the tasks assigned by the school board, and your whereabouts in Japan are also a mystery. β
Lisa stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes, "Especially on the third day of your arrival at the Japan branch, there was a huge 'elemental turbulence' in Tokyo itselfβthe appearance of this kind of anomaly often represents the awakening of the first species-level dragons. β
"But after five hours, the elemental turbulence disappeared and Tokyo was restored to its original state. The Japanese branch didn't say a word about it, and you were the only member of the headquarters present...... You should at least know something. β
Lu Mingfei recalled that the huge alien who had been awakened in advance and was named the White King, if it hadn't been for the shortcomings of the vacant spirit of the primeval power, I am afraid that he would really not be able to stop the old army of the White King's spirit.
But it wasn't his own strength that shattered the White King and his army, but the powerful Holy Leno and the Divine Machine, as well as the illusions of the Battle Brothers.
He didn't want to blasphemous these achievements on his head.
"I don't have much to say."
Lu Mingfei shook his head, not wanting to reveal too much information.
"That's a pity, even if I wanted to be on Angers' side and speak for you. Board of Frost suspects that you have secretly entered into a partnership with the Japanese branch. If the information he presents in the next meeting is not in your favor, then the Ange who excavates and reuses you will also be dragged down by you. β
Lisa's soft expression turned serious.
"This Frost sounds rather annoying."
Lu Mingfei frowned, "Can I kill him directly?" That way things don't have to be so troublesome. β
