Chapter 194: Convincing People with "Reason".
Frost's face was distorted, he never imagined that the purpose of these two wolf-like, terrifying-looking intruders would be so simple.
You said it earlier!
Isn't it just a person, it's a big deal to give it back to you, as for behaving so vicious?! Based on the performance of these two people just now, I didn't know that I thought that the Dragon King was going to come over to slaughter the Gattuso family after he recovered.
"You ...... Alas! Frost wanted to say something more, but seeing that the countdown on his phone had gone to zero, all the words could only converge into a helpless sigh.
Zheng Shu and Xia Mi raised their heads thoughtfully to look at the sky, and in the somewhat dim sky of Sicily, a star suddenly became extremely twinkling.
This is the self-detonation method activated by Frost at the beginning, the final weapon of the Gattuso family town against the dragon king, a super kinetic weapon that throws tungsten steel from the atmosphere and hits the ground: the Sword of Damocles.
This is the ultimate weapon that hit the White King hard in the original book, and in the center of being hit by tungsten steel, the power can even be comparable to the explosion of a nuclear bomb. Because the satellite carries tungsten steel around the earth in space, it can only circle the planet once in a long time.
So Frost felt lucky when he saw that the countdown was only three minutes long, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.
But now all regrets are meaningless, the blazing meteor is about to fall to the ground, and all the creatures in the manor will cease to exist as if they had been punished by God.
Just when Boloste was desperate, Zheng Shu made a move, he jumped up from the ground, and flew straight towards the position of the sword of Damocles.
And below him, Xia Mi also used his own words: the pupil of the Wind King, a huge hurricane quickly surged from all directions and converged over the manor, forming an arc-shaped shield in front of the manor. As Xia Mi explosively increased the output power of Yan Ling, the huge hurricane even faintly formed the appearance of a tornado.
In the next second, the meteor that fell from the sky met Zheng Shu.
Rumble!!
Orange-red fireballs mixed with half-melted tungsten steel shards flew out, and countless scattered fragments shot towards the manor on the ground.
The hurricane's barrier crumbled in the aftermath of the explosion, and Frost watched as a piece of debris lay in front of him, as he was hindered by the hurricane's barrier and moved at an extremely slow pace.
But at this time, he no longer had the energy to pay attention to this miraculous phenomenon, and the terrifying explosion above his head had already made him express all the amazement in his heart.
Natsumi's control of power is very precise, and although the hurricane barrier has been crumbling in the shock wave, it shows no signs of collapsing.
After a long time, the fire was gone, and the remaining vegetation on the island was blown to the ground by the terrifying shock wave, and Frost sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.
In the thick smoke, a figure broke through the barrier of smoke and dust and fell back to the ground.
Zheng Shu patted the non-existent dust on his body and turned his head to look at Frost on the balcony.
"What about this person?" Xia Mi walked to Zheng Shu's side.
"Don't be so murderous, don't always think about fighting and killing, this guy is very interesting, just take him away." Zheng Shu earnestly admonished Xia Mi, "After all, he still has some role to play as the principal of Kassel Academy, and we still need to use his power to find clues about Ange." β
Xia Mi rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to Zheng Shu, this guy was the one who killed the most people along the way just now, but he actually had the face to teach himself a lesson.
"Come down, don't you still want the two of us to invite you down?"
Frost on the balcony couldn't help but shudder when he heard Zheng Shu's shouts below, seeing that Zheng Shu was still unharmed, and even his clothes were not damaged, his whole person had fallen into doubt about the reality of the world.
"It was a space-based weapon just now, even the White King was seriously injured when he took that shot, are these two guys really human? And that Chu Zihang, since you have such a strong friend, then say it early! How could we possibly embarrass you when you said earlier?! β
With all kinds of thoughts tumbling in his heart, Frost did not dare to delay at all, and immediately ran downstairs.
Although the Gattuso family suffered heavy losses this time, to be honest, Frost's heart had already begun to think about how to win over the two of them.
For the Gattuso family, although it is a little distressing to lose some manpower, it is not an unacceptable thing. On the contrary, if these two obviously exceeded combat power can be co-opted, then the Gattuso family can break through the joint blockade of other families and achieve unprecedented prosperity in history.
Even if they can't succeed in winning over these two people, even if they maintain goodwill with them, it will be a very beneficial thing for the Gattuso family.
Frost did a quick math and found that there was no complete irreparable hatred between him and these two men, all that remained was to find what these two people liked and do what they liked.
If you love money, then give wealth, if you pay attention to feelings, then give sincerely. As a family that has been around for thousands of years, the Gattuso family has its own plans for all kinds of situations.
For a family of this level, face is indeed very important, but the so-called face itself is only a kind of resource, if you can obtain greater benefits, then it is very normal to abandon face.
Therefore, in the face of the absolute power of Zheng Shu and Xia Mi, Frost, who had experienced the complete education of the Gattuso family, naturally changed his mode of thinking.
Zheng Shu looked at Frost who ran down the stairs with interest, although he couldn't read minds with his current mental power, it was no problem to simply observe the emotions of a creature.
The fluctuations in the spiritual power exuded by Frost's body did not have the anger or grievances that Zheng Shu imagined, on the contrary, the other party exuded an even stranger emotion. If you have to make a more vivid analogy, it is probably the same as a businessman seeing a huge business opportunity.
Because Frost slid and knelt quite fast, Zheng Shu and the others avoided all kinds of troubles in the back, and went directly to the basement of the manor under the leadership of the Gattuso family's biggest and highest talker at this stage.
"That...... Or I won't go in? The two of them just went in and caught up with their friends. Frost was very discerning and handed over the key in his hand.
Zheng Shu, who had searched the basement with his mental power, naturally knew why this guy was acting like this, glanced at Xia Mi next to him, and after thinking about it, Zheng Shu agreed with Frost's idea: "Okay, Mr. Frost, then please go and arrange a plane back to school for us first, and then I have to trouble you to go back to Kassel Academy with us, there are some things I need to confirm." β
"No problem, it's not a problem, it just so happens that I have to go back to the Kassel Academy to deal with some things." Frost smiled very respectfully at Zheng Shu and Xia Mi, and immediately turned around and left the basement.
"This guy isn't thinking about anything bad, is he?" Looking at Frost's back as if he was running away, Natsumi looked a little suspicious.
"He didn't plan on anything bad." Zheng Shu's expression looked a little strange, "The main reason is that I am afraid that you will go crazy later, so I will beat him to death." β
"Huh? Why? Xia Mi was a little regretful, turned his head and glanced at the basement, showing a suddenly realized expression, "Could it be that he did something particularly cruel to Chu Zihang?" β
"It's not counted...... Zheng Shu thought for a while, threw the key in his hand to Xia Mi, and turned around and left the basement by himself, "But I don't think I'm suitable for the rest of the things to be on the scene, so I'll leave it to the two of you to handle it yourself." β
Glancing at the back of Zheng Shu leaving, the doubts in Xia Mi's heart became more and more high. Looking at the iron door in front of him, Xia Mi did not hesitate, and inserted the key into the lock hole to open it.
Even if she was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback by the scene behind the door, there were no cruel torture instruments or cold laboratories as she imagined.
In fact, the basement is decorated quite well, with independent high-end bathroom and living room, flowers and plants, TV and computer everything, the most conspicuous is a large bed in the middle of the basement, which looks very luxurious and comfortable.
Aside from the various alchemy circles depicted on the walls around the basement and on the roof, it didn't look like a cage at all, except that it was imprisoning a person.
And in this, in addition to Chu Zihang, there are two other female figures.
Xia Mi looked at the scene in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and he probably understood why the two people just reacted like that.
Both women are very good-looking, and Xia Mi, who is a woman, has to admit that these two people are quite beautiful, they can be called bright and smooth, and there are very few clothes on their bodies, except for a hazy silk pajamas, there is no other clothing, with the pitiful expressions on the faces of the two people, it is enough to make any male creature burst out with a strong desire to protect.
And just when Xia Mi opened the door, Chu Zihang was pressing the two women down on the bed, holding their hands with both hands, and the posture looked extremely astringent.
The movement of opening the door also attracted the attention of the three people, looking at the eyes of the three people who all turned their heads to look at them, Xia Mi was silent for a moment and was about to close the door: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb!" β
"You misunderstood !!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Listening to the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping below, Zheng Shu and Frost squatted outside the manor together, watching the sunset gradually setting in the distance.
"I should have thought a long time ago that for a half-breed family, bloodline is originally the greatest wealth......" Zheng Shu shook the juice in the goblet in his hand, took a sip with the scenery of the setting sun, and let out a sigh of satisfaction, "And a bloodline like Chu Zihang, who has reached the A-level limit, but has not yet entered the S-rank, is a rare treasure comparable to a gold mine for you families." "Note 1
Frost, who was squatting next to him, also completely abandoned the image he had always maintained, shrugged his shoulders, and took a hard puff of the cigar in his hand:
"I knew that he had such a strong friend as you, who would dare to mess with him. It's a big loss now, after arresting Chu Zihang for two whole days, he didn't show any excitement after changing several women, and even the old guys in the clan wondered if he had a problem with his sexual orientation. If you don't come again, we're ready to change to beautiful boys. β
"Good thing we came a little early......"
The two of them just squatted on the ground, like an old man who had just returned from working in the field, and chatted for a while, and Zheng Shu heard the sound of people below climbing the stairs.
So Zheng Shu drank the remaining juice in his hand, put the cup aside, patted the clothes on his body and stood up: "Okay, it seems that the two of them have also settled their own affairs, then we should almost get back to business." β
"I've just contacted the family people, and they've arranged for a helicopter to come here, and it should be there in 10 minutes." Frost also skillfully pressed the cigar on the ground and extinguished it, and then stood up with Zheng Shu, "Listening to what you said, isn't your main purpose this time to save Chu Zihang?" β
"Yes and no." Zheng Shu shook his head, "To be precise, the reason why Chu Zihang was arrested by you is because of the aftermath of this incident. β
Frost couldn't help frowning when he heard Zheng Shu's words, it was his decision to dispose of Chu Zihang on his improvised behalf, but listening to the words of the person in front of him, how could he feel like his actions had been predicted or guided.
If that's the case, then it's not that simple.
"By the way, do you know where Caesar is?"
Zheng Shu's voice called Frost back from his thoughts, he was stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "He should pay tribute to his mother in Italy now, after all, his wedding date will be in a few months." β
"Huh?" As if he had heard something interesting, Zheng Shu suddenly turned his head to look at Frost, "You mean his wedding date?" In other words, he has already decided to marry Chen Motong, and even has already made a marriage contract? β
"Any questions?" Frost asked with some trepidation, if the person in front of him was also interested in the future mistress of their Gattuso family, then he could only use the momentum he had just now to do it again.
Zheng Shu squinted his eyes and recalled the situation in the original book, after the world was changed by Odin in the original book, it was very normal for Caesar and Chen Motong to get engaged, after all, the two of them had reached the point of talking about marriage before this.
But this time, before the world changed, Caesar and Chen Motong had only just confirmed their relationship for a short time, and there was no reason why the relationship between the two of them suddenly reached this level after the world changed.
Recalling the very obvious traces of artificial transformation on her body when she first met Chen Motong, Zheng Shu gradually had an idea in his heart.
After answering Zheng Shu's question, Frost found that the other party had been squinting his eyes and thinking but did not reply, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, just when he was about to muster up the courage to ask again, Zheng Shu suddenly spoke: "Then let's take Caesar with us when we leave, in this incident, he and his fiancΓ©e may also be the target of the enemy." β
Frost was secretly relieved that he didn't get the most frightening answer from Zheng Shu's mouth, but then he was frightened by the information revealed by Zheng Shu.
Although he looked down on Pompey very much, he admired his nephew Frost very much, even if Caesar still had many shortcomings that needed to be corrected in his eyes, he could be regarded as a qualified leader of the Gattuso family in the future.
Facing an enemy that might affect his family's inheritance, a hint of coldness flashed in Frost's eyes.

β¦β¦
Milan Cathedral, Milan, Italy.
This Gothic building is a spiritual symbol of Milan and is a must-stop for visitors to Milan, which is bustling on weekdays, but today is an exception when a sign is hung in front of the church that says "Visits are closed on religious days".
However, the church was not full of clergy as other visitors had imagined, and there was only one man in the great main hall, who sat on a bench in the front row, with a bouquet of white flowers beside him.
Outside the main hall was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, with its silver-plated handles and brass fuel tank, a tough construction that didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the church.
Every time he came to pay his respects to his mother, Caesar always wore a modest three-piece suit, rode a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and bought a bouquet of white roses at the fixed flower shop on the corner.
There was no particular reason for wearing a suit because his mom loved to see him dressed like this when he was a kid, and riding a Harley because his mom once gave him a miniature version of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
So every time on such an important day in memory of his mother, he wears all the memories of that year on his body, and his mother's funeral was held in the Milan Cathedral, presided over by the Pope himself.
"Mother, I think I'm getting married, and you're going to like my bride, I think you're a bit like ......," Caesar whispered.
But he was a little dazed in his heart, obviously he and Chen Motong had experienced so many things in his memory, but there was always an unreal sense of illusion, as if they had skipped some important stage and directly entered the marriage link.
Caesar had asked others about himself, but all of them told him that he was only afraid of the unknown life ahead.
As the future head of the Gattuso family, he could renounce the engagement at any time if he didn't want to. However, after careful consideration, Caesar did not choose to give up, because he knew that marrying Nono was what he wanted.
However, these mentalities still have a little influence on him after all, so today he will come to the church to pay tribute to his mother, and by the way, talk to his mother's spirit in heaven.
However, in Caesar's opinion, there was no need to say these words, after all, his mother's eyes should have been watching him in the sky, knowing everything he had done, and having seen the girl he loved.
After all, her mother once said that even if one day she was no longer on earth, she would watch Caesar from heaven, so Caesar never wanted to do anything bad, because if she did something bad, her mother would know about it.
He stood up, leaned over the white marble in the center of the hall and kissed it, placed the flower on it, and then turned to leave.
The Harley-Davidson drove out of the Duomo of Milan and on the highway outside the city to the Gattuso family's castle in the countryside, where dense rosemary and sage grew in the wilderness, and Caesar filled up the gas pedal and watched the sea of deep purple and light purple flowers pass by the car.
At this time, Caesar's mobile phone rang, he frowned, and finally chose to stop the car on the side of the road to answer the call.
Originally, on such an important day, he had always been non-working, even if the sky fell, it had nothing to do with him, and after paying tribute to his mother, he should have found a random cafΓ© to drink coffee.
The people of the family should also know about his habit, but they still choose to contact him, which means that there is something that has to be asked to come forward.
"Who?"
"Yo, Caesar! It's me! Stand there and don't move, we'll pick you up right away! β
Contrary to Caesar's expectations, it was not the voice of the family contact on the other side of the phone, but even more frivolous, and Caesar only thought about it for a moment before thinking about the owner of this voice: "Zheng Shu? Why do you have a way to contact me? β
There was already a little anger in Caesar's voice, not only for Zheng Shu but also for the family's contact, who actually let the other party get his contact information so easily, disturbing his most important day.
"You don't think it's easy for us to get your contact, do you?" Zheng Shu on the other side seemed to be able to see what he was thinking through his mobile phone, "Let me tell you, I only got your contact information through the entire Gattuso family, which can be said to be quite 'hard'." β
Listening to Zheng Shu's incoherent way of speaking, Caesar frowned, although he was very dissatisfied with his father and family, but he was not happy with Zheng Shu's casual ridicule.
"Caesar, it's me, Frost."
At this moment, another familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and Caesar immediately recognized that this was his uncle.
"Frost? How did you get mixed up with Zheng Shu? β
"Because as Mr. Zheng Shu said earlier, he broke through the entire Gattuso family." Frost's voice was as calm and calm as Caesar remembered, but the words he said made Caesar think that someone had faked it with a voice changer.
"If it's a joke, Zheng Shu, it's a bit too much."
"What a mess! Look up, we're close to you. β
At the same time, he also heard the propeller of the helicopter coming overhead, and when he looked up, Caesar saw Zheng Shu waving to him in the distance.
After the helicopter got a little closer, Caesar actually saw Frost's face in the seat behind Zheng Shu.
"Caesar, do you still want your wife?" Zheng Shu lowered the rope ladder from the helicopter, "If you want, come with us." β
