On the outskirts of Rome, in the middle of a vast alfalfa field, an old monastery stands alone.

It is surrounded by greenery, but it still has a sense of late autumn.

Pompeii Gattuso drove his silver Aston Martin along a winding field road, the coke cans skewered behind the butt of the car colliding on the ground with a cheerful jingling sound.

However, the owner of the car is obviously not so happy, and there is not even a female star in a slit dress in his co-pilot.

Normally, as a sign of respect, Pompeii will change into formal attire, or at least tie, when they come here.

But today, he's shirtless, wearing a pair of beach shorts and even flip-floppers on his feet.

The convertible stopped at the entrance of the convent, and Pompeii walked towards the heavy iron gate.

Without reaching out, the iron door opened in front of him, and when he approached, it slowly closed and engulfed it.

In the vast hall, sunlight finches in through stained-glass windows everywhere, creating a myriad of patterns on the floor and walls.

Twelve old men in white robes sat in an arc on a wide chair, the marble floor shining brightly, reflecting their vague figures, as if on the water.

As if he hadn't seen them, Pompey walked straight to the chair prepared for him and sat down, and after replying to a few messages on his mobile phone, he raised his head and crossed Erlang's legs by the way.

"You're really fast."

He looked around, his tone slightly sarcastic.

"If you can't keep up with the situation, it means falling behind."

Sitting in the middle of the twelve, the tallest old man said.

"Then how was the Chen family destroyed?"

Pompeii's attention fell on a vase with a bouquet of green roses.

"It was an accident. The Chen family is too arrogant, and Lu Mingfei's actions are almost too much. ”

The old man replied.

"It's not just the Chen family who is arrogant, I remember Frost reported to you that you were going to take measures against this S-class, but you suppressed it. Now, not only has he become Angers' successor, but even the Japanese branch wears a pair of pants with him. ”

Pompeii pouted.

"You should know why, we need a knife, and it's best to have it in Ange's hand so as not to provoke a backlash from other school managers. Moreover, the technology provided by Lu Mingfei is really useful. ”

The old man said calmly.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, since you want Lu Mingfei's fast knife, you must be prepared to be cut by the knife.

This is different from the Chen family's foolish behavior of not considering the gains and losses, but stubbornly thinking that they can finish it.

As for Lu Mingfei's treatment, Gattuso's elders didn't feel that there was much wrong with their decision.

The problem is just that this S-class is growing a little too fast.

"So what are you going to do with this knife? He will be put up on your neck. ”

Pompeii asked.

"Let's take it cold. We also need him to deal with those people. ”

The old man said.

But Caesar couldn't wait. His bride had disappeared, and he was now anxious like a male lion without a lioness. ”

Pompey said.

"That's not his bride, that's the bride of the Gattuso family."

The old man shook his head.

"Oh? I didn't know that the bride of our family was meant to be shared. Or do the noble elders still have the right to the first night? ”

Pompeii teased.

He rubbed his hands as he spoke, his face was full of obscenity, and he seemed to be really excited.

"Don't try to provoke us, Pompeii, you know what we're talking about."

The old man said indifferently, after dealing with this current patriarch for so many years, they have long learned to tolerate it.

At least, they will tolerate it until the next Gattuso, who is of higher and purer blood, appears.

"I know, but Caesar doesn't. He's already asking Frost for money and opening up the intelligence network, and you can't refuse, because to refuse is to admit it. ”

And Caesar's move was itself a temptation.

"The family will give him all the help, but he won't get any results."

The old man said lightly.

"That's merciful, I wonder, did you ever do this to me?"

Pompey pouted.

"Don't speculate maliciously about the family. This is also for Caesar's good, if Lu Ming has to snatch Chen Motong, can he stop it? ”

The old man said condescendingly.

"What if you snatch it? Even if the White King's dragon bone cross was in his hand, he wouldn't be able to get in. ”

Pompeii retorted.

"We can't afford to take that risk. Moreover, no one knows what Lu Mingfei will do to her. Chen Motong is the bride carefully selected by the family for Caesar, and she must not be allowed to be polluted. ”

The old man said.

"Ha, are you still worried that Lu Mingfei will be on her? Don't think that everyone is a big stallion like our Gattuso, Lu Ming doesn't talk about other people's, and he has no interest in men. ”

Pompey scoffed at their excuses.

"There are many ways to pollute, and you don't have to do it the way you like."

The old man finally couldn't hold it back and sarcastically said to him.

"Say whatever you want. Anyway, with my understanding of Caesar, he wouldn't have been so easy to give up. ”

"Caesar. It's time for you to educate your son, who is even more illiterate than you were when you were younger. ”

The elder sitting on the right spoke.

"He won't listen to me, after all, in his heart, I killed his mother. Although we all know that it was Gurveg who killed it."

Pompeii shrugged.

"Silence!"

The twelve elders shouted in unison, and the desolate voice echoed in the hall, deafening, as if there were twelve old dragons roaring.

"If you don't say it, you won't say it, why are you yelling so loudly?"

Pompeii plucked out his ears.

The elders glanced at each other a little speechlessly, although the Gattuso family is not a scholarly family, but it is an unusual number for such a lazy guy.

"This is our decision after discussion, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon. Each of us felt that Chen Motong had to be protected. ”

α, β, γ, δ, e, these people's names are actually all Greek letters.

After becoming elders, they abandoned their original names and lived as the decision-making mechanism of the Gattuso family.

None of them will be younger than Ange, and some will even live beyond the extremes of half-breeds.

Their friends or foes are dead, but they are alive and will always be alive.

Until becoming immortal, until ascending to the gods.

"And when you see fit, pack her up and send her to Caesar's room, and let them mate?"

Pompey sneered.

"He is the heir of the family, and it is his responsibility to produce pure offspring for the family."

Alpha said.

He was the eldest of all the elders, and the secrets he held were even more amazing than those of the Chen family.

"I don't care, I like the process of succession, and you will bear the consequences. But Caesar is different, he really likes Chen Motong, and he has been influenced by a lot of Chinese culture, especially martial arts films. ”

Pompey's tone changed slightly.

"There is an old saying in Huaguo that when the road is uneven, draw a sword to help. There is also an old saying called sticking a knife in the ribs of a brother. If Caesar asks Lu Mingfei for help, how will you respond? ”

"We're prepared for that."

Alpha said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man stepped out of the shadows of the main hall.

The man was dressed in cyan armor, with a fallen angel tattooed on the front of his breastplate and a flaming phoenix tattooed on his armplate.

"Copycat version of power armor, do you think this thing can stop Lu Mingfei?"

Pompey wondered if the brains of the old creatures had been frozen by the freezer.

"It's not the power armor that matters, it's the people inside."

Under the gaze of fourteen pairs of eyes, the man in power armor removed the helmet.

A face that bears a slight resemblance to Caesar's appears in front of Pompeii's eyes.

"Patsy, you're still alive."

He showed a slight surprise.

"The family still needs my services, my lordship."

Parcy Gattuso, who rose from the dead, bowed.

"What can you serve, will you be shot to death by Lu Mingfei again?"

Pompey's words were a bit mean.

Patsy smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Suddenly, a vase with green roses burst open, and rose petals flew all over the sky.

"Isn't your spirit a dustless place?"

Pompey's pupils shrank.

Half-breeds can only have one spirit of speech, which is the iron law of the Black King.

Is the technology of the Presbyterian Church able to break this iron law?

"We didn't break the iron law of the Black King, we just used some tricks. That's enough, though. ”

Alpha said proudly.

It took them a lot of hard work and a lot of money to finally build a war machine that can crush everything.

If it weren't for Patsy's disgrace, Gattuso would have been able to suppress the arrogance of the Angers League at the school board now.

"Hmph, I hope your work is really that good."

Pompeii smiled grimly, then got up to leave.

He still has a lot of things to do, so let these old things toss on their own, at least to attract Lu Mingfei's attention.

——————

Caesar eventually returned to Kassel.

Back in the family days, he finally deeply understood his powerlessness.

Those people were ostensibly cooperating with him, but in reality they didn't do anything.

The heir is always just the heir.

Before Caesar became patriarch, all power was shared with Pompeii or the family.

As long as you don't want to give it, you can take it back immediately.

And this also made him realize that Nono's kidnapping may really be related to the family.

Caesar didn't understand, Caesar was furious, but Caesar couldn't do anything about it.

Flipping through the photo of him and Nuno, his expression gradually changed from sadness to determination.

Caesar made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Brother Lu, I have something to ask for."

He made the phone call that had left him very confused.

"Do you suspect that the Gattuso family kidnapped Chen Motong, and you want me to help you rescue her?"

In the room of the war group leader, Lu Mingfei and Caesar sat opposite each other, and Chu Zihang stood again and again.

"It sounds incredible, but it's true."

Caesar sighed.

"No, that's to be expected. It's just."

Looking at his haggard face, Lu Mingfei was a little hesitant to tell him the truth.

Treat friends, the war group is as warm as a spring breeze.

"Brother Lu, if you know anything, please tell me, please."

Caesar noticed the anomaly and immediately stood up and shook his head.

"Your girlfriend Chen Motong may be the cocoon of a certain dragon king."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and said part of the truth.

"What? You say Nono is the Dragon King?! ”

Caesar was shocked.

"No, she's half-blooded. It's just that the dragon king's cocoon is hidden in her body. ”

He shook his head.

"Where did Brother Lu find out?"

Caesar asked.

"I know it from Chen Xuan, the head of the Chen family."

"The Chen family? Didn't you have a conflict with the Chen family? ”

Caesar wondered.

"That's right, so I destroyed the Chen family, and then tortured Chen Xuan to know it."

Lu Mingfei said calmly, as if he was saying that he would have shrimp sour beef hot pot for dinner today.

"Destroy the Chen family"

Caesar didn't know how to feel when he heard the news.

It stands to reason that he should grieve a little, but Nono's relationship with her family seems to be a little worse than that between himself and Gattuso.

"In other words, the family kidnapped Nuno in order to get the dragon king's cocoon?"

Caesar skipped the message and asked angrily.

This is in line with his consistent perception of Gattuso.

"No, they're here to prevent me from getting Chen Motong."

Lu Mingfei thought about it, but decided to tell the truth.

"Brother Lu, you."

Caesar looked at him in disbelief.

"You know where I stand, you have to kill the dragons."

Lu Mingfei said solemnly.

"But Nono isn't a dragon."

Caesar defended his girlfriend.

"That's right, so I'll try to keep her safe. But I'm not sure what will happen during the cocooning process. ”

If he had to sacrifice Chen Motong to enter Niforheim, then he would not hesitate at all.

Just like if sacrificing Lu Ming could complete the emperor's plan by himself, then he would also immediately sacrifice his soul.

Caesar first looked at Lu Mingfei fixedly for a few seconds, and then looked at Chu Zihang on the side for help, and the latter could only sigh back.

He hung his head and was speechless for a long time.

Caesar originally thought that he had put down his blood and self-esteem and was looking for a right-hand man to save Nono, but he didn't expect to find the culprit.

No, Lu Mingfei is just doing his duty.

The real culprits are the Chen family and the Gattuso family.

But but

"Brother Lu, is there really no other way?"

Caesar said bitterly.

"I will pray to the Emperor for His protection."

Lu Mingfei thought for a while and said.

"The Emperor. Do gods really answer mortal prayers? ”

Caesar looked at the golden icon on the table and smiled.

"Gods may not, but the emperor is a god and a man."

"What can I do in exchange for this mercy?"

Caesar asked.

He didn't believe in Gattuso, let alone the so-called gods, but he believed in Lu Mingfei.

"Find the location of Chen Motong."
