Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 160: Conspiracy (I)
Caesar squeezed his way out of the alley between the two houses. In order to avoid the search of the armed police, his self-proclaimed handsome face was squeezed into a pancake shape between two red brick walls. Because he was tall and strong, he even accidentally got his nose scratched by the sharp edges of the bricks, and it was now a little red and burning.
The good news was that he had almost escaped from Liulichang, and the price was worth it. If he was arrested by the local police before finding the Dragon King, it would be a shameful incident for an A-level hybrid from Kassel College. Moreover, he was even considered a victim, and Garrincha was the thug who was showing off his power. But he didn't have time to go to the police station for tea and explain the ins and outs to the police uncle.
He stopped cautiously not far away. At the end of the alley was a black business car. The car was very long, an extended model. With Caesar's eyes, he could easily judge the general structure inside. In addition to the hanging miniature screen, there would also be a refrigerator filled with iced champagne, so that distinguished guests could hold an impromptu meeting while drinking a little wine, and when they got off the car, they would have completely solved the problems they were still thinking about on the way.
This kind of car is rare, and the passengers are usually rich or noble. Caesar did not go over because this car suddenly appeared like a roadblock, blocking the exit of this alley. Normal people would not park like that, this section of the road is a no-parking section. Due to the cover of the sycamore trees, there are no cameras, which is a good place to do something secret. There is no doubt that the people in the car have discovered Caesar's whereabouts and are waiting for him to get close.
Who was it? At least it was definitely not Garrincha's men. If it was them, a group of thugs with knives and guns would have gotten off the car by now. Excluding this possibility, Caesar really couldn't think of anyone who would appear in front of him at this time. His friends were all over the world, most of them were children of local wealthy and prominent families, but there was really no one special in this city.
It is impossible to turn back now. The armed police are conducting a carpet search of the surrounding area and they will find this place soon. The only way for Caesar is to open the car door.
It is necessary to face it. Caesar wiped the dust off his nose and walked away with an open mind. A true noble should be as steady as a mountain. It is like you are drinking tea with your friends, and the servant suddenly rushes in and shouts that something bad has happened, and the peasants are rebelling again! If you get anxious at this time, you are a typical brainless and incompetent person. A noble like Caesar will only smile and appease the guests until the tea party is over, and then calmly enter the palace to discuss with the emperor whether to use force or to deal with it properly.
Caesar opened the car door easily. Just as he thought, this car came for him and not just by coincidence.
The car was U-shaped and had a faint fragrance. The driver in the cab didn't even look back, and the only guest in the main seat raised his glass to Caesar. He was dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like an elite office worker, just the right person to sit in this kind of car. But Caesar didn't like this man at first sight, because his eyes were very small, which made his eyes become a slit when he smiled, and he looked like a two-faced little thief, the kind of person who would suddenly stab you in the back when you are successful.
"Long time no see, Gattuso." The car owner smiled. "Corias white wine, would you like a glass to calm you down?"
The other party's attitude was very friendly, so Caesar was also very calm. He took the wine glass and just held it in his hand, not in a hurry to put it into his mouth.
"I think I've seen you somewhere before." Caesar said. Judging people by appearance is not a good habit. Even though the first impression was not good, Caesar was still happy to sit down and talk with this mysterious man. He was a natural leader. Of course, the president of the student union could not be a pure appearance control. It was like getting one of the dragon and the phoenix can bring peace to the world. The dragon is handsome, while the phoenix is ugly, but the phoenix's ability is not necessarily bad. Caesar knew this very well. Even if the person sitting opposite was a stinky beggar, Caesar would take out a brand new banknote from his pocket and hand it to him, and would never throw out a coin.
"More than half a year ago, I was also present on the Moniach during the Kuimen Operation. However, I was in a hurry and did not have time to greet you. When the mission officially began, I had already left the ship and landed, so I was unable to fight side by side with you."
With a clear time and place, it was not difficult to recall. Caesar's memory went through every cabin he had stayed in on the Moniach. The man in front of him gradually matched the moment of passing by. He had indeed appeared there, but Caesar did not notice it at the time.
"People from the academy?" Caesar asked. There were many teams sent to China for this operation, and even Caesar didn't remember all the members. Firstly, they were not members of the student union, and secondly, he thought that the one who killed the Dragon King must be a well-known hero, such as Gattuso. He didn't need to care about those unknown shrimps.
"No, it's a pity that I couldn't go to Kassel College, otherwise I could have worked with you for a year when you enrolled. My name is Chen Jun, from the Chinese Chen family, a family of dragon slayers. Considering your relationship with Nuonuo, in China, you can call me brother-in-law."
Chen Jun slid a photo towards Caesar. It was a group photo of a group of children, probably in front of the lobby of some luxurious villa. There were oldest one looked to be in his twenties, and the youngest one needed to be held in the arms of the child sitting in front. A middle-aged man stood in the center with his arms open, as if he wanted to hold the children in his arms, with a bright smile.
Caesar recognized at a glance that the fourth girl from the left in the front row was Nono when she was a child. She already had dark red hair at that time. Many people thought that Nono dyed her hair that color intentionally because of her flamboyant personality, but Caesar knew that it was her natural hair color.
Nuonuo didn't seem to like taking part in this photo, with an awkward expression and looking unhappy. Next to her stood a boy who was slightly shorter than her, with his eyes narrowed into a slit, trying to look at the camera. If you look closely, you will find that he deliberately kept an abnormal distance from Nuonuo for the photo. And Nuonuo was trying to pinch him back from behind.
"Can you give me this photo?" Caesar whistled. This was the first time he saw Nono's childhood. It must be said that the red-haired witch had already looked like a domineering child when she was young. Caesar knew that Nono had an album, which collected all the memories of every place she had been to since she was a child, but Nono did not allow him to see it, saying that it was a memory only for herself and would be sealed in a time capsule. When she was old, she would take it out and allow Caesar to share the best time with her.
"Of course, you will become a member of our family in the future, and there will be a place for you in this kind of photo." Chen Jun said with a smile.
"It looks like your Chen family is very prosperous, brother-in-law." Caesar understood Chinese, but he didn't know many words in Chinese that express kinship. He really liked the rustic pronunciation of the three words "brother-in-law". Because of Nono, he hoped that he could integrate more into Chinese culture and be able to call him without any ambiguity.
Caesar roughly counted them and found that there were 56 children in the photo. It was just like the famous lyrics. Nono's father was really capable, a bit like the ancient emperors who had three palaces and six courtyards with three thousand concubines and many children. Even Caesar's stud father would not spread the word of having children like this. The man with open arms at the end of the photo was Chen Hao. Caesar had met him once at the school board meeting in Kassel. He might be his future father-in-law.
"Not bad." Chen Jun nodded. Caesar appreciated the photo, thinking that most of the children here would become his future family. However, he did not notice that Chen Jun did not seem to want to talk more about it, and seemed to be evading the question.
" Why suddenly appear here?" Caesar put the photo in his pocket.
"Two reasons. First, I came to see if Garrincha had violated the agreement. Due to customs reasons, the mixed-bloods entering the country cannot have strong firepower. All heavy firepower weapons for dragon slaying are sold by us. But we are not confident about Garrincha's group, so we added additional security monitoring locks to their weapons. I found that he used a rocket launcher in Liulichang. I communicated with him by phone, but I was still worried and felt that I needed to come and see it in person." Chen Jun said, "Because I know from the eyewitness testimony of the armed police that you were also there. Second, I want to take this opportunity to meet you. After all, we will become a family in the future."
"Oh, so my brother-in-law sold a bazooka to the gang and nearly killed me." Caesar almost laughed when he heard this. "You guys are willing to do anything to make money. If it were me, I would never take care of a guy like Garrincha in my own territory."
"Slaying a dragon is not an easy task. Every additional person will increase the chance of success. Besides, Garrincha is very powerful and will make a lot of contributions."
"You know him well?"
"It was just that I had the chance to know his secret." Chen Jun smiled mysteriously, "Nono is under our surveillance now. We don't want her to participate in this dangerous operation, but for you, Gattuso, we hope to discuss cooperation."
"What do you mean? You're using my girlfriend to threaten me to listen to you?" Caesar raised his eyebrows. "Shouldn't you consider the consequences before doing something like this? You should know Nuonuo's temper. I don't like being threatened either. The result of the two of us joining together is probably to blow up your Chen family at a future wedding party and say goodbye to avenge today."
"Don't get me wrong. We know exactly what kind of person you are. The Chen family and the Gattuso family are both directors of Kassel College. We have common interests. Cooperation with you is what the Chen family hopes for and what the Gattuso family asks us to do. But considering that you don't like the Gattuso family, I don't want them to get involved too much."
"A good choice. My opinion of you is starting to rise." Any betrayal of the Gattuso family would make Caesar happy. He was willing to give Chen Jun a thumbs up. "Then let's talk about cooperation? What do you want to do?"
"You are about to face the King of Earth and Mountains, an extremely dangerous target. We asked Nuonuo to stay away from this operation to protect her safety. You should understand. But if we ask you to refuse to participate, it's probably unlikely, right?" Chen Jun said with a smile.
"I think that for half-bloods, nothing can prove their existence better than slaying a dragon." Caesar's voice remained calm when he said this. This was not some heroic rhetoric, but just the lifestyle he chose.
"We are very happy to see that our future son-in-law has such ambitions, so I have brought you a lot of information." Chen Jun snapped his fingers to show his approval and placed a golden subway card that Caesar was very familiar with on the table. Caesar thought he had no chance, but after a few twists and turns, the key came to him again.
"Dragon King Fenrir is hiding in his Nibelungen world, which is a land of the dead and a space of alchemy, and this subway card is the Solomon's Key to that world. Among the hybrids who have arrived in China, the powerful ones have already obtained this subway card, which means that the danger of this dragon-slaying operation has increased exponentially. Not only do you need to face the Dragon King, but you also need to be wary of other hybrids stabbing you in the back. Everyone wants to get the Dragon King's bones, which are endless treasures. The Chen family and the Gattuso family are also very interested."
"Do you hope that it is me who will successfully obtain the Dragon King's corpse?" Caesar asked.
"Yes, even if it's just a bone." Chen Jun nodded. "Garrincha is undoubtedly your opponent, but don't rush to fight him. His body is very special. He once got the corpse of a dragon in South America. He used some of the bones to replace his own bones and successfully survived the rejection reaction. He got an extremely strong body, comparable to dragon scales. In addition, his spiritual power is called insight, which can see the future three seconds later in the area around him. This means that Garrincha will never be defeated in close combat. He can avoid all dangers in advance."
Caesar remembered the scene where Garrincha dodged flamethrowers and sniper rifles continuously. No wonder that guy was so ferocious, violent and confident when he attacked. The combination of these two methods was simply cheating!
"This kind of person can probably only be attacked by launching a missile. As long as the range of the explosion is large enough to kill him and is wide enough, he won't be able to escape even if he knows what will happen in three seconds." Caesar immediately thought of a way to deal with Garrincha.
"No need to go through so much trouble. The person who can restrain him is among that group of European mixed-race people." Chen Jun smiled and placed a photo in front of Caesar. The blonde girl was wearing a Lolita-style military uniform, and her smile was as bright as the sun.
