Chapter 44 The Board of Trustees

The sword is brilliant and dazzling, it is simply a beautiful scene like the aurora, which can break the hearts of all those who can see it, but only by facing its black shadow can you know what a strong sense of crisis it is.

She had no time to make any other movements, so she crossed her hands and tried to fend off the brilliant and deadly light with her claws.

In the moment of the sword light, the black shadow was knocked out, and she tried her best to turn in the air, trying to avoid the sharp edge of the sword light, but she was still carried out by the great force on it.

The sword light broke through the floor-to-ceiling window and slashed outward, Lu Mingfei watched the black shadow fly out, and his tense body relaxed, he leaned against the wall and began to gasp, in the battle just now, he was beaten by the black shadow all over his body, and now that the battle is over, he only feels that there is a strong pain everywhere in his body.

"For the time being...... It's okay. Lu Mingfei said, "Senior brother, I suffered a big loss this time, you have to compensate me and keep it secret for me." โ€

"I will." Chu Zihang walked over and helped Lu Mingfei into the elevator.

In the main headquarters of the Kassel Academy, in the main control room, the timetable on the projection jumped to "18:00", and the red dot located in East Asia disappeared in an instant, Schneider nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

"Mission accomplished." Professor Manstein said incredulously, "Schneider, maybe you're right, he does have the ability to complete tasks on his own, he can't cooperate with anyone...... His pedigree is too strong. โ€

"Hey, don't forget, Ming Feike was near him when Chu Zihang lost contact." Guderian defended his student, "Doesn't this mean that he and Ming Fei cooperate well?" โ€

"We can't be sure why Lu Mingfei is there, it's not planned." Manstein shook his head and said, "We can't be sure how much of a role Lu Mingfei played in the plan, all of this needs to be seen in the mission report later." โ€

"But the crux of the matter now is not Lu Mingfei." Manstein looked at Schneider with a serious expression, "I won't congratulate you on having an excellent student, you should know how much trouble he has caused." โ€

Schneider nodded and said frankly: "I know that not only the trouble he has caused, but even himself is a problem, and he may be on the verge of getting out of control." โ€

"I can pretend not to know about this for a while, but you have to figure out how to deal with it. You know best what it means to be in danger of blood. "Don't let personal feelings cloud your judgment. โ€

"I know what I know." Schneider whispered.

Chu Zihang helped Lu Mingfei into the black BMW, and Lu Mingfei was humming all the way, as if as long as he screamed, it wouldn't hurt so much.

"Have a great dinner time." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, and then closed the car door.

Italy, Portofino, the directors of the Kassel Academy gathered in this town, they are a secret organization that has lasted in the world for thousands of years, they are an elite army of half-breeds, they have trained countless dragon slayers, and they have a steely charter, they are the "Dragon's Blood Secret Party".

And the gathering of these people for a meeting is undoubtedly a major event that can affect the entire mixed-race society.

"So all I'm going to do is wait here until they call me in?" Caesar took a sip of the liquor in his glass and said.

Patsy bowed slightly, and replied, "They are looking forward to seeing you, and they will let you in, which is what your uncle meant, just to take the opportunity of the annual meeting of the school board to meet with the half-breed powers." โ€

"The Powerful?" Caesar savored the words and looked at the door of the conference room behind him.

"Now that everyone has arrived, I declare that this year's Annual Board Meeting has officially begun!" Ange sat at the end of the conference table and rang the brass bell in his hand.

There were six people at the long table, four men and two women, and among the remaining three men, two were very old, one was on crutches, the other was twisting a string of rosewood beads, and the other was about thirty or forty years old, wearing a bright yellow sweatshirt and a bicycle helmet on his right hand. The two female school directors were surprisingly young, one did not look more than twenty-five years old, and the other had a little cute baby fat on her face, and she looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with a serious expression, like a delicate porcelain doll.

"This year's attendees were the same as last year, the trustee who had never been present was still absent, and Gattuso's house was still attended by acting trustee Frost Gattuso in place of his brother." Ange said.

Frost Gattuso shook the bell and said, "Then let's start directly, is the Bronze Report finished?" I can't wait to know the conclusion. โ€

Ange pointed to the stack of papers in front of everyone, "It's right in front of your eyes." โ€

Instead of looking at the intricate details of the report, the school directors turned to the last page, where they saw what they wanted to see: "Lord of Bronze and Fire, Death confirmed." โ€

The school directors were silent for a moment, and Frost continued, "No dragon king has ever been confirmed dead in history, Ange, we need to see the proof. โ€

Ange answered Frost's question by taking out a crystal prism and sliding it against the long table. It was an artificial quartz crystal with a thin mark the thickness of a dark red hair in the center.

After each of the school directors had carefully examined the crystal prism, Ange spoke: "I believe everyone here has already seen that this is a newly made philosopher's stone. The most sacred thing in alchemy, the crystallization of the fifth element, the spirit. However, we have lost the means to refine this crystal, and all existing reserves of the Philosopher's Stone have been obtained from the tombs. But this is a brand new Philosopher's Stone, although small, but extracted from the bones of the Dragon King, his name, everyone who has studied the history of the dragon clan will be familiar with it, his name is Konstantin. โ€

"My name is Konstantin, and I have gone to the top of the mountain of flames, and there have melted seas of bronze, and cast the name of God." The young schoolmaster recites the old scriptures.

"And now he's dead," Ange's voice was grim, "the bronze name will only be engraved on his non-existent tombstone, and the dead god will only be a pile of dry bones!" โ€

"We believed that the first species could not have been killed." One school trustee rattled the bell and said, "Now that this iron rule has been broken, how is it done?" โ€

Ange explained, "We know that dragonlords create 'eggs' to maintain their immortality, so we only need to kill them before they create eggs to kill them completely, and there are two reasons for this, firstly, when the dragonlord awakens, his initial strength is incomplete and even has no memory, like a half-breed who has not yet awakened his bloodline, and secondly, in the event of a rage, the dragonlord will prioritize the protection of blood relatives and revenge." We used our unawakened brother Norton to kill his brother Konstantin, causing him to wake up and become furious, and although Norton's keel was not found in the end, we have reason to confirm that Norton is also dead. โ€

Frost rattle: "So where are Konstantin's bones kept now?" โ€

Ange raised his eyebrows: "Of course in a safe place." โ€

"How safe is this safe place?" Frost asked.

Ange rubbed his hands together and replied, "It's safe enough that only two people in this world can walk there." โ€

"You're one of those two, right?" Frost said, "Who's the other one?" โ€

"The other is the one who makes the vault." Ange said lightly.

"In other words, you are the only one among us who has access to the bones of the Dragon King, do you mean that, Mr. Headmaster?" Frost's tone became aggressive.

The air in the room seemed to drop to freezing, and no one spoke anymore, and the person who should have spoken most was slowly pulling out a cigar and lighting it.

Frost on Frost Gattuso's face, although he is the acting trustee, is also an important figure in this group, because the Gattuso family accounts for the largest part of the annual sponsorship of the Kassel Academy.

"Ange, I don't want to mention what the academy's management fees are used for every year, and I don't want to expose how liberal the academy's atmosphere is now," Frost said, "I don't want to say more about all these things that are written into the materials, what I'm going to say today is, Ange, you can do your job well, but don't think that the academy should be under your control, the academy is a joint investment project of the school board, and the dragon king's skeleton should also be handed over to the school board!" โ€

Ange smoked his cigar and said, "I don't want to know what the Gattuso family has for the Dragon King's bones, you can fire me from the position of the school board, but I won't hand over the Dragon King's bones to anyone, this matter is not to be discussed!" โ€

The audience was in an uproar, as soon as Ange's words came out, it was tantamount to a frontal provocation of the majesty of the school board, which was very inconsistent with their usual impression, since the establishment of the Kassel Academy for more than 100 years, Ange and the school board have generally cooperated happily, although the old guy has a little more out of character, but he is also a model of an old-school gentleman.

In the midst of the noise, Ange shook the brass bell in his hand suddenly, and then crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the conference table.

Frost whispered, "Ange, are you provoking the school board?" โ€

Ange spat out a few smoke rings and said nonchalantly: "I'm just reminding you that this issue will not be concluded for the time being, it can be terminated, and you can't fire me for the time being, because you can't find someone who can replace me." โ€

"Let's move on to the next topic." Ange clapped his hands and said, "Please allow me to introduce to you our 'A' class students, the well-deserved elite of the academy, our young and promising dragon slayer hero, Caesar Gattuso. โ€

The black BMW drove very smoothly, and Lu Mingfei was a little drowsy sitting in the car, but a slight leaning of his body inevitably pulled the wound, which made him grin with his teeth, and opened his eyes to look out of the car window, and the old red brick mansion on the shore of the lake loomed in the rain.

This is the address of Aspasia Restaurant, which is known as "One Lake Garden" because of the building on the entire Lake Park Road.

The main entrance of the black iron was wide open, and the black BMW went straight inside, but the old mansion was empty, there were no customers, and even the door of the old mansion was closed, only a white-clothed waiter stood in front of the door with an umbrella.

"Is this place closed? Let's go back and find a place to rest. Lu Mingfei said that he didn't really want to eat any Italian food now, he just felt very tired and painful, and wanted to find a place to rest.

"Aspasia is chartered tonight, sir." The waiter politely pushed open the door of the old mansion, "Ricardo ยท Mr. M. Lu, you are our guest of honor tonight. โ€

Lu Mingfei was relieved when he heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence made him sigh, it turned out that the energy of the club bosses could be so huge, and a Michelin-starred restaurant said that the package would be included.

Lu Mingfei was wearing a black suit, the shirt was Florentine style, and the buttons were pearl oysters, his original outfit had become tattered in the battle, but fortunately, he still prepared this outfit in the back seat of the BMW, but it took a lot of effort to change into this outfit, and the wounds on his body were extremely sour in the process.

Stiffly getting out of the car, Lu Mingfei walked into this first-class restaurant under the guidance of the waiter.

The floor is made of elm, which is a remnant of the last century, and it was a French mansion before the liberation, and Aspasia bought it and renovated it, making it look a bit of an artistic touch of ancient and modern.

The lights in the restaurant are all off, and there is only one place in the huge space that is on, which is the table prepared for Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen, the candlesticks lit with candles, or the candlelight dinner.

Sassy bag, too sassy bag.

Lu Mingfei scolded the evil rich man, and looked at the dining table, Chen Wenwen had arrived, she was wearing the white dress that Lu Mingfei was familiar with, and the candlelight hit her body, smearing a layer of warm colors.

"You're here?" Chen Wenwen saw Lu Mingfei and smiled.

"Hmm." Lu Mingfei walked over stiffly, sat down stiffly, his waist straight, his hands dangling, if his ass hadn't survived, he would probably have preferred to squat to eat this dinner.

"Ming Fei, don't you work hard abroad alone?" Chen Wenwen asked softly, she didn't look at Lu Mingfei, but lowered her head and stared at the lamb chops on the plate.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment: "Foreign ...... It's okay, it's still harder in China. โ€

Although he is often struggling for his studies, he has not left him with good memories of several experiences when he returns to China, and he has been lying in the medical department for a week.

"Looks like you're adapting well abroad." Chen Wenwen smiled lightly and took a sip of red wine, "I thought you were joking with me at first, but I looked up this restaurant on the Internet, three Michelin stars, and the price is frighteningly high." โ€

Lu Mingfei said that I didn't adapt well abroad, but I was just very unlucky at home, but this kind of remark was a bit ruinous to the atmosphere, so what he said was: "Senior brother said that this is authentic Italian food, it may be relatively niche, and it is normal for the price to be high." โ€

"I knew I should have dressed more formally for this kind of occasion." Chen Wenwen said again.

"No, you're fine." Lu Mingfei said, "Like you are." โ€

It's like what Chen Wenwen has always looked like in Lu Mingfei's memory, the white skirt is very good, and it matches Chen Wenwen very well, sitting on a bench in the sun and reading a book, as if this is what Chen Wenwen originally looked like.

Chen Wenwen paused for a moment, and then spoke: "Lu Mingfei...... You've changed. โ€

Has it changed? Lu Mingfei was also thinking, thinking about it, he still felt that this was not called a change, it should be called adaptation, and he chose another life, so he lived a different life, but the road was chosen by himself, and he was still the same Lu Mingfei, who had never changed.
