Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 328 Genesis (I)
Pompey drank red wine and looked up at the sunrise. Over his head, the rotor of a helicopter swept past with a strong wind and landed smoothly on the Grandi freighter. The engine was shut down and the wings stopped rotating. Percy jumped off the helicopter carrying the unconscious Caesar.
After experiencing a tsunami of that magnitude, no ship should have survived near Tokyo Bay, but the Grandi remained in the same position as before Passi Gattuso set out, and Pompey was even drinking. It was not so much that the ship protected him, but rather that he protected the ship. Without Pompey, the ship would have been hard to survive. The Gattuso family had just paid a large sum of money for this freighter.
"It looks like my baby son is in good condition." Pompey glanced at Caesar, who was covered in blood, and whistled. He could tell at a glance that Caesar had been through a bloody battle. The black blood on his body was from Deadpool, not his own. Caesar escaped from the catastrophe in Tokyo unscathed without suffering any serious injuries.
"Li Wuyue and his sister both died at the hands of Kassel Academy. The principal's combat power was very high after his blood exploded. It's hard to say whether this is a bad thing or a good thing for us." Percy put Caesar on the recliner next to Pompey and reported the situation. "There was also a dragon king who . He died in an internal fight among the dragon kings. The White King, who was born from Herzog's stolen power, was also killed by Lu Mingfei. For now, it is a foregone conclusion that the four monarchs have been revived and defeated one after another. The only enemies we know of are the Black King Nidhogg and Odin."
Although nominally he went to pick up Caesar, Percy still followed the developments in the Night Food Field as a special envoy of the Gattuso family. If the Dragon King was not resolved, he would be responsible for leading the Dragon King out of the Nibelungen and using Divine Punishment to annihilate him.
"This day has come sooner than I thought." Pompey sighed. This moment had been waited for too long for him and even the entire Gattuso family. He felt a sense of disappointment that fate had finally arrived. "Since it has been confirmed that the situation has developed to this point, our cooperation with Kassel Academy can be declared over."
"So fast?" Percy was surprised. He originally thought that such a decision would require discussion with the family elders.
"Time is mankind's greatest enemy. The fall of the four great monarchs marks the beginning of a new era. We don't know when Nidhogg will wake up, so of course we have to be quick."
It was indeed a planned accident that Herzog did not die in Black Swan Harbor. Later, he landed in Japan and came into contact with Tachibana Masamune. The Chen family's pursuers noticed what they were doing and passed the news back to China and Italy.
The awakened White King was originally a sacrifice prepared by the Gattuso family for their own enjoyment, but after discussion, the Gattuso family thought this was an opportunity to let Herzog complete the experiment they dared not do, so the two sides reached an agreement to let Herzog do what he wanted, but always keep a close watch. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Japanese, the Gattuso family withdrew their few investments in Japan, making it seem that this place is always outside their sphere of influence.
Now that the conjecture has been confirmed, there is of course no need to waste any more time waiting.
Pompey patted Percy's shoulder and smiled meaningfully at him. "And you have been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you? Who is willing to be a servant for a lifetime?"
Percy lowered his head in silence, his mind full of thoughts. Pompey was the one who knew him best, and the patriarch was not wrong, and was willing to indulge his ambitions. So Percy always acted loyal to the Gattuso family. In fact, it didn't matter to Frost or Caesar, Percy was just being loyal to Pompey, and as for the others, they were just incidental.
"But... I'm just a backup replacement." Percy glanced at the unconscious Caesar, "I'm Caesar's replacement. My bloodline is not as stable as his."
"We didn't think so when you were born. In fact, in my eyes, both you and Caesar can be my sons. You both have Gattuso's blood flowing in your veins." Pompey smiled. His smile had a kind of magic that could make many women obsessed with him. That kind of charm was innate. Although he was very frivolous, in terms of leadership talent, Caesar only inherited his father.
Percy is a man and will not sink into Pompey's laughter, but the man in front of him means a lot to him. Without Pompey's persistence, Percy would never be born into this world. In a sense, Pompey is indeed his father, and he does have some of Pompey's blood.
The origin of Patsy Gattuso is a mystery to many people. He suddenly appeared in the Gattuso family. Caesar was eight years old that year. He had just experienced the death of his mother a few years ago and deeply hated everything in this family.
One day, Pompey led Percy to the garden. Caesar was sitting under the pavilion reading the life of Alexander the Great. He was wearing a horse-riding uniform and had just come back from hunting. He didn't even bother to pay attention to Pompey. Pompey didn't care at all. He said to Caesar, "The teacher said that you don't make friends with anyone in the college. You look down on everyone and think that no one is worth your close friendship. If you continue like this, you will be isolated sooner or later. So I found a friend for you. You can take him to class with you in the future. Percy is very well behaved and knows how to communicate. He can help you build friendly interpersonal relationships."
After Pompey finished his instructions, he left, leaving behind two children of almost the same height. When he saw Caesar for the first time, Pasi was not nervous at all. He just stood there like a willow tree and looked at Caesar. The position where he stood just happened to block the sunlight that directly hit Caesar. He knew that the man in front of him was the future heir of the Gattuso family.
Caesar put down the book, his icy blue eyes filled with a coldness that kept people at a distance. He instinctively rejected everything, including any gifts from his family or his father, even if that was a living person. In Caesar's eyes, Percy was no different from a bedbug, even though he looked pretty good, tall and thin, and had no sense of presence, as if he would ignore the presence of a person there if he didn't pay attention.
"He seems to think highly of you." Caesar had been very sarcastic since then, and when he said this, his nose was snorting with anger. "What can you do for me?"
"Anything," Percy replied quietly. "That's why I exist."
"Anything?" Caesar was amused by such an arrogant answer. He raised his hand and threw the book at hand into the pond. "Then this is the first thing you have to do for me. I don't want this book to get dirty or wet. If you can't do it, get out of here."
Percy didn't answer, but stared at Caesar, who suddenly realized something was wrong. He didn't hear the book fall into the water, so he leaned over the fence to read it. The book was not wet or dirty, it just floated on the water, rising higher and higher, until it finally returned to Caesar's hand.
"You have the power of words, don't you?" Caesar looked at Percy again.
"Yes, sir." Percy's answer was still as calm as ever, neither sad nor happy. He could see that Caesar didn't like him, so when Caesar made that move, Percy predicted his thoughts and used his words to hold the book for him.
"You have passed the test. Follow me into the house." Caesar tucked the book under his arm and gave orders. "But I have to make it clear that he handed you over to me. You are my property and serve only Caesar, not Pompey Gattuso. I want you to always remember this."
"I understand, sir."
Percy was Caesar's first friend. The reason why Caesar didn't fit in with the crowd at that time was his bloodline. In school, he was surrounded by ordinary people. Although there were sons of real estate tycoons, daughters of banking companies, and princesses of royal branches, they couldn't integrate with Caesar without bloodline. As soon as they met, Percy showed a strong control of the words . At that time, Caesar couldn't control the sickle weasel so accurately. It was this potential that opened the door for Percy to become the secretary of the Gattuso family.
If Caesar knew that Patsy had the same blood as him, he would never have accepted Patsy.
Caesar's mother's surname is Gullveig, which is an ancient surname. In the past, it was called a witch of the dragon clan. But in modern times, the bloodline of the Gullveig family has declined greatly and is no longer a qualified dragon blood clan. But Caesar's mother is the only woman Pompey has ever truly loved in his life. In Caesar's memory, Pompey did not go out to have affairs when his mother was still alive. The man began to indulge after his mother died. Caesar thought that this was very sorry for his mother, but Pompey did not care at all and claimed that he would bring his excellent genes to beauties all over the world.
And Pasi didn't even know who his mother was. He was a product of test-tube babies. Back in Black Swan Harbor, Pompey obtained two embryos from Herzog. Based on these two embryos, the Gattuso family used their own technology, which was completely different from Herzog's, to extract serum with dragon genes from the embryos. This serum was highly toxic, but it could also catalyze the improvement of bloodline.
The serum was applied to a whole generation of test-tube babies, and countless children died in their sleep. The Gattuso family had to place more hope on the children born in the family. In the end, there were two successful ones. The first was Percy, who was the only test-tube baby to withstand the toxicity of dragon blood. The other was Caesar, who was the most resistant child born by humans.
Until now, Caesar didn't know how old Percy was. After getting out of the loneliness of his youth, Caesar gradually grew into a qualified middle school dandy. He asked Percy about his birthday, but Percy himself didn't know his birthday, so he said the day he met Caesar was his birthday. Caesar didn't realize this, but when that day came, he gave Percy a new car and a super-large luxury cake that could be piled up to the ceiling.
The in vitro fertilization used Pompeii's products, so they were brothers, Caesar was the younger brother and Percy was the older brother, but their fates were very different. Because Percy's dragon bloodline was unstable, the family needed an emperor who could lead the Gattuso family into a new world. An emperor certainly could not have uncontrollable bloodline, so Percy missed his position and could only work as a secretary as a backup for Caesar.
Now that Herzog has verified the feasibility of the road to godhood for the family, the Gattuso family can start immediately. Of course, the one who can enjoy this honor is Caesar. But if Caesar fails, then Percy will replace Caesar. This is the second-hand preparation in the plan.
"A new era has arrived. You are the chosen one and should be prepared to take on the responsibility." Pompey poured two glasses of red wine and gave one to Percy. "Whether it is Caesar or you who sits on the throne, it is actually the same for the family. The news here will soon spread all over the world. We are not the only ones who covet the throne. Let other opponents withdraw from this race. The family does not want anyone to compete with you."
Percy and Pompey clinked their glasses and drank them all. "Including Lu Mingfei?"
"Of course. The four great monarchs have left us, and the day when she awakens will soon be approaching. That will be a threat to our new king, and must be wiped out before she realizes it."
"I see."
Percy put down his wine glass and walked into the main control room of the cabin. During the time when the Grandi was bought and docked in the Italian port, the ship had been renovated by the Gattuso family. Various high-precision instruments had been moved up, and the richness of the buttons was no less than that of the launch headquarters of artificial satellites.
The console started up and connected to the central control room far away in Rome, Italy. The target of the attack had already been memorized, and Percy entered the coordinate instructions one by one.
A villa in the mountains outside St. Petersburg, Russia.
That was the Alexander family. According to the information the Gattuso family had, they were the actual controllers of Black Swan Port. But it didn't matter anymore. No matter how much technology they got from Herzog, once the core of the family was destroyed, it would never be possible for them to make a comeback.
Munich, Germany.
The residence of the dragon-slaying family Beowulf, they live in the urban area. Although this will cause large-scale casualties, the door to the new world is already at hand. There is no time to think about this. Percy entered a coordinate of the city center with an expressionless face.
Belfast, UK.
Elizabeth Laurent was there, controlling the mixed-race societies of Britain, Ireland, and part of France. The school directors who participated in the Black Swan Port incident were all engaged in similar research and did not disclose their progress to each other. But according to the student file of Esther Arnolds who appeared in the college, this girl was probably born in the same way as Caesar and Percy, except that she did not bear the name of Elizabeth.
Jinan, China.
The Chen family has a long history, from the Tian family replacing the Qi family to the present day, and is also the most important ally of the Gattuso family. But to be honest, their Chen Motong did not reach the expected strength, and for such an ally, the Gattuso family could only choose to abandon him before the only throne. Their family lived in the mountains and was isolated from the world, so the incident could be well covered up as an accidental explosion.
In this way, the school directors and their core forces who participated in Black Swan Harbor will be wiped out. The next destination is Kassel College in the mountains of Chicago. That school no longer has any need to exist. If Angers can go back, he will definitely take revenge on the Gattuso family, so his possibility must be eliminated first.
Finally, it is Tokyo, Japan. The girl who killed the White King is certainly a hero, but for the sake of the envisioned future, it would be better for her to die with the people around her.
