Gulf of Genoa, Portofino, Italy.

At this time, the weather is just right, neither hot nor cold, nor rainy.

The ancient buildings and colorful brick walls, reflecting the mountains and seas in the distance, are vivid and dreamy.

Cafes and bakeries set their tables right next to the turquoise water, and the men and women in swimsuits chatting and laughing at the tables are also the most beautiful scenery.

Visitors from all over the world talk softly, laugh and enjoy coffee, wine and Mediterranean cuisine in the bright sunshine.

Everyone's face was filled with an expression of relaxation, tranquility, contentment, and happiness, and the air was filled with a sweet and relaxed atmosphere.

Looking at this quiet and peaceful scene, Lu Mingfei showed a relieved smile.

Allowing mortals to enjoy a beautiful and ordinary life is the meaning of the Space Marines' struggle.

"I thought you only had training and fighting on your mind."

Ange looked at him and teased.

"It is for the sake of their years to be quiet, that we have to carry the weight forward."

Lu Mingfei said calmly.

"Well, I'm starting to regret having you in Kassel earlier. You should have been able to enjoy three years of high school, and maybe you wouldn't be so puritanical. ”

Ange sighed.

Lu Mingfei's excellence and will made him appreciate it very much, but the more he did this, the more distressed he became.

He's still an underage child.

"If there were no dragons, I would consider slowly integrating into the life of mortals. But now, killing the aliens comes first. ”

Lu Mingfei shook his head and said.

"You're right, there are more and more dragons who have awakened recently, and this group of old reptiles seems to want to return to their throne."

Ange agreed with him.

"They won't succeed, there can only be one master on the earth, and that is human beings."

Lu Mingfei said coldly.

In a murderous atmosphere, the silver Rolls-Royce drove along the winding road into the Hotel Plandi and stopped at the white building next to the cliff.

It was a detached building, with a hard white marble exterior and narrow windows, more like a fortress than a dwelling.

The dedicated parking lot was almost full at this point, with a Lamborghini, an old Jaguar, and an AMG-modified Mercedes.

Surprisingly, an orange mountain bike is also in a grand position, occupying a full parking space like these luxury cars.

Today, the entire summit is unusually quiet, and the Gattuso family has completely closed the mountain and the nearby roads.

The status of the Gattuso family in Italy is similar to that of the Snake Eight family in Japan, and it is far more than that.

Because Japan still has the United States, the emperor, and various gatekeeper consortia, but Italy only has Gattuso, the uncrowned king.

Therefore, even if the mountain is flattened by missiles today, it will only become a strange story such as the overnight development of real estate developers.

Lu Mingfei and Ange stepped into the fortress, and the gate slowly closed from the inside out, and the building was completely sealed as the four ancient alchemy locks snapped at the same time.

Ange pushed open the door to the meditation room and expertly found his seat and sat down.

In the dimly lit room, a row of candlesticks was placed on a long table, and the candlelight illuminated the faces of the school trustees.

Sitting to the left of Ange was a very old man, too old to tell how old he was.

He wore a crisp black suit, a crimson handkerchief tucked into his jacket pocket, and his upper body was straight.

But with a string of red sandalwood beads in his hand, he read words, how to look at it and how it doesn't match.

On his right is a young beautiful man, with blonde hair combed to his forehead to completely block one eye, looking a little out of the mainstream.

But if you look at other people, you'll find that these two styles of painting are normal.

There were three school directors left, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow tracksuit and a helmet, and the other woman looked like a child, with a baby's fat little face like a porcelain doll, and a white-gloved butler standing behind her.

As for Elizabeth, she looks fine, but only part of the light is beaten, making her look like the black-hearted queen in a fairy tale.

"There is not much difference between this year's attendees and last year's, and the one who never attended, still did not attend. It was Frost, the original representative of the Gattuso family, who was unable to attend due to personal reasons, so he appointed Patsy Gattuso as a temporary representative. ”

Ange pointed to the blonde non-mainstream man.

"As for me, I'm still the moderator of this meeting."

He pointed to himself again.

No one objected to this, this was a meeting of the school board, and Ange, as the school manager and principal, was naturally the right person to preside.

"Then the old rule, whoever proposes the meeting will say it first."

Ange lifted his chin at Patsy.

"Dear Board Members, I am honored to represent my family at this meeting. I am deeply frightened by this. ”

The latter stood up and made a bunch of opening remarks first.

He was interrupted by the crisp ringing of the bell, a tradition at school board meetings, to ring the bell before speaking so as not to make a mess.

"Get straight to the point."

Elizabeth put down the brass bell and frowned slightly.

Everyone is a busy person on the powerful side, where do you have time to listen to your official tone here.

If you want to listen to what to do in Italy, go directly to China to find a place to invest, and you can listen to it for three days and three nights without repeating it.

"Okay, the first motion Gattuso raised is the question of whether Rector Angers is still capable of managing the Kassel Academy."

Patsy's attitude was humble, but the content of his words was very powerful.

The bell rang almost instantaneously.

"Watch your words, Patsy Gattuso. Who do you think you're questioning? ”

Elizabeth's piercing eyes pierced his eyes.

"Of course, the dragon slayer, the avenger, the man who makes the dragon king fear, the toughest and sharpest folding knife of the secret party, Hilbert Jean Angers."

Patsy said in a tone that didn't fluctuate, as if he were announcing the name of the dish.

The bell rang again.

"Then you still dare to propose this kind of bill, are you sober?"

Elizabeth asked.

"This is a family proposal, and I'm just a spokesperson, Honorable Governor Elizabeth. Or, do the Gattuso family no longer have the right to speak on the school board? ”

Patsy replied calmly, but the content was bloody.

"Hmph."

This time Elizabeth did not refute again, no matter how annoying the Gattuso family was, they were the largest financiers in Kassel after all.

The old man and the middle-aged man glanced at each other, this new representative of Gattuso seemed to be more difficult to deal with than Frost.

A crisp bell rang, and Ange interrupted their argument.

"I think I'm pretty good, but I don't mind hearing what you have to say about me. There is an old saying in Huaguo, the sage is not ashamed to ask. ”

Ange twisted his body and tucked his entire back into the curved back of his chair.

"Over the past decade, the college's overhead has been on the rise, and a lot of money has been wasted in strange places. For example, the event called 'Freedom Day' has now evolved into a real gun duel between several major clubs of the academy, which consumes a lot of alchemy bullets every year, as well as high maintenance bills. ”

Patsy took out a report and placed it on the table, and the other school directors had no intention of showing it.

There is no need to cheat on such small things.

"Kassel is a military school after all, and if students are not allowed to leave fake blood on campus, should they be allowed to shed real blood on the battlefield? Besides, not letting them vent their adolescent hormones is much more expensive than that. ”

Ange scoffed at the accusation.

"What about this? The methods of the executive department are becoming more and more unscrupulous, not so much bravery, but under the guise of slaying dragons, to vent violence. Our hormone-laden young people travel the world wielding dangerous weapons modified by the Ministry of Equipment, and without hesitation, they fight in full view of the city's core area. ”

"It costs tens of millions of dollars a year to clean up the aftermath for them, not counting the cost of the task itself."

Patsy pulled out another document.

"What? Are you going to have the commissioners take flowers and rings and get down on one knee to the depraved half-breeds and beg them to be captured? ”

As he spoke, Ange pulled out a Havana No. 1 cigar from a cedar box.

Patsy was about to rattle the bell, but Ange scrambled to rattle it again before he did.

"What is dragon slaying? Slaying a dragon is not a candlelit dinner, not writing sonnets, not pruning flower beds. You can't be so elegant, so unhurried. Dragon slaying is explosive, a violent action of one race to overthrow another. ”

"Will Deadpool settle accounts with you? Will the dragons settle accounts with you? Can you crush the four great monarchs to death with a mountain of dollars, francs, pounds, and euros? ”

Ange cut the cigar with scissors, lit it with a slender match, and watched the green smoke curl up.

His tone was not intense, even cold.

But every sentence fell like a hammer on the hearts of the school trustees, and they had to admit that even if Ange was arguing for himself, the words themselves were truth.

"I agree with Ange that compared to the great cause of slaying dragons, these are small sections, and there is no need to waste time on them. Can you imagine that in the days when we were still called the 'secret party', the elders were fighting over spending tens of thousands of gold coins a year? ”

Elizabeth rang the bell in support.

"I also agree with Rector Angers that the expenses of Kassel have been accounted for by the school board, and there should be no entanglement in this kind of matter."

The baby-faced girl school director and the housekeeper glanced at each other and shook the bell to express their opinions.

"But if someone uses the name of slaying dragons for their own personal gain, can you accept this?"

Patsy said unhurriedly.

"As a principal and a school manager, it shouldn't be too much for me to reimburse a little luxury consumption and vacation expenses, right?"

Ange scratched his silver-white hair and said slowly.

The trustees fell silent, and Angers was honestly not very tasteful, but he liked to be subservient and elegant, and often used Kassel's money to satisfy his own consumption habits, which everyone knows.

Even Elizabeth was not too embarrassed to defend him.

"Of course, it's not too much, you are the greatest dragon slayer, and you deserve the best material treatment."

Patsy said respectfully.

"And this accusation is skipped?"

Ange raised an eyebrow.

"No, this accusation is not directed against you. I'm talking about a cadet from Kassel. ”

"Lu Mingfei."

Patsy Gattuso pulled out a stack of papers and placed them on the table, as thick as the annual audit report of a large company.
