Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, Starting as a Seeker of the Law

Chapter 62: Only for Slaying the Dragon [Seeking Recommendations and Further Reading]

Hearing the conversation between the two, Shuto Aki, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak up, her voice filled with disbelief.

"Lu Mingfei... is he an S-rank?"

She was the quietest person in the room, and she couldn't understand why Professor Guderian was treating Lu Mingfei.

But if we say that Lu Mingfei is an S-class, then all of this makes sense.

The last time an S-class student appeared in the academy was 40 years ago.

Although there are countless mixed-race people in the world, the world is too big.

A person of exceptionally high aptitude might live in an unnamed town in the mountains, attending school during the day and working part-time at night, letting their extraordinary bloodline fade into oblivion.

Kassel is backed by the European Secret Party, but the Secret Party is not a monolithic entity; it is merely an alliance of several powerful families, each with its own agenda.

Let alone recruiting talents from all over the world, they also have quite a few people they keep under wraps.

You hide people, and I hide people too.

If a family with a superior bloodline can hide their mixed-race heritage, there's no reason why other families with mixed-race heritage wouldn't hide theirs.

For various reasons, the students that Kassel can recruit are almost all those who have fallen behind in the aristocratic families. Not to mention the mixed-race individuals with bloodline level S, they are like diamonds buried in the sand, extremely rare and hard to come by.

Ye Sheng, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and said in a low voice, "No wonder the professor values ​​him so much... There are only a handful of S-ranks in the entire headquarters."

But as the subject of their discussion, Lu Mingfei found it rather annoying.

Guderian hovered around him like a fly, and he desperately wanted to project an aura of dominance and force the former to back down.

The colder his expression became, the closer the foreign professor named Guderian moved, as if he couldn't see through his indifference at all.

Like a stalker who keeps getting close to a girl and following her even after she has been treated coldly countless times.

He had once read a news article in a magazine that said that in foreign train carriages, the more silent you are, the more likely you are to be harmed, and to avoid trouble, many people choose to turn a blind eye.

Lu Mingfei had this feeling right now. It was the first time he had ever met such a clingy person. Did he have to force him to completely turn against him before he would stop?

But what he needed was not a complete falling out.

Tactical reversal is a negotiation tactic, but a complete falling out is another matter entirely.

"Professor Guderian, right?"

Lu Mingfei distanced himself again, a glint of molten gold flashing in his eyes. Looking at the overly enthusiastic professor before him, his voice carried a chilling edge:

"I want to know the truth about my parents, and where you found me?"

The moment the words fell, the kaleidoscope pattern in the depths of his eyes flashed again, making the words seem like a divine decree.

【Word of Power: Dream Eater】

This is one of the abilities derived from the fruits that grew again from the branches of his World Tree supernatural power. Even though its mind control ability can only be activated through eye contact, it seems to be working quite well so far.

Guderian's smile froze, and his tone became flat and hollow, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away.

"The college only has a list of your parents, not their whereabouts. Their information was relayed by the principal, and the same applies to your situation."

"headmaster?"

"Hilbert Jean Angers, the current principal of Kassel, is also one of the few surviving S-class hybrids in our academy. He is the one who gave me your information."

"professor!"

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya rushed forward. Ye Sheng shielded Guderian behind him, while Jiu Deya gently pressed the latter's arm to stop Guderian from reciting his familiar stories.

If he continues talking like this, he might just reveal the college's secrets like they're on the cafeteria menu.

Even if the other party is an S-rank prospective student, this is absolutely unacceptable!

"Professor, are you alright?" Ye Sheng's eyes flashed with golden light as he stared intently at Lu Mingfei, desperately blocking Guderian.

"Oh? Ah!"

After the eye contact was lost, Guderian seemed to wake up from a dream, prompted by Shudeya. He looked blankly at Ye Sheng and Shudeya in front of him, then at Lu Mingfei, who remained seated without moving, and suddenly slapped his forehead.

He raised his hand and patted Ye Sheng, signaling the latter to step aside. "Don't rush, don't rush. It's normal for S-rank people to be different from ordinary people."

That being said, Guderian's attitude cooled somewhat.

He realized that the gap between them couldn't be bridged by his enthusiasm alone. So he took out a tablet from his briefcase, did a few quick operations, and handed it to Lu Mingfei.

"Since your Word of Power can recognize my words," he paused, his voice carrying a slight plea, "why not speak directly to Principal Angers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a face with sharp, sword-like lines appeared on the tablet. Lu Mingfei saw him, and he also saw the boy on the other side of the screen.

The face, bearing the deep marks of time, smiled, its silver-gray eyes gleaming like those of a young lion.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lu Mingfei."

..............

Guderian winked at Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya behind him, and took Chu Zihang, who had been listening in, with him as well, leaving the space for the meeting of the two young lions.

Lu Mingfei looked at the face on the screen, his expression calm as if he had expected it. "You've finally shown up. Enjoying spying on me for so long?"

Lu Mingfei was not surprised by the person in front of him; rather, his purpose was to have a conversation with this real power holder in Kassel.

This is not divination, nor is it about predicting the future.

He hasn't reached that level yet.

This was a fact he had already sensed the moment he stepped into the coffee shop.

Someone is watching him.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young," Angers said with a smile, despite Lu Mingfei's blatant provocation. "How did you figure that out?"

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and pointed to the corner of the ceiling. "Of course it's a camera. You guys are supposed to be a secret organization, yet when you're having a conversation, all the cameras in the coffee shop are on and pointing at me. Do you think that's right?"

"Clap...clap," the old man clapped his hands, looking like an audience applauding.

"As expected of the S-class I've been eyeing, he has the air of a king."

"Come on, save that kind of bragging for the next unlucky guy."

Lu Mingfei let out a soft breath and spoke first, "Where did it all begin? From the Hunter website or Yangcheng Lake? Or perhaps even earlier?"

He didn't need to guess to know that if the Su Group's situation could be leaked to the Chinese branch, it could also be leaked to the Kassel headquarters.

After all, he has never hidden himself and has always acted with his true self.

Moreover, judging from their words, he had been targeted for a long time.

I am afraid......

"Is that important?" Angers picked up his glass, took a sip, and changed the subject. "How about we talk about terms?"

"What can you give me?" Lu Mingfei readily agreed. "Is it your prized intelligence network, the so-called Dragon Clan's data, or perhaps the so-called Secret Society's collection?"

"You certainly know a lot, but... how about we skip the tedious steps?"

Angers, with a serious expression and narrowed eyes, looked through the camera and met Lu Mingfei's gaze, uttering his biggest bargaining chip word by word.

"everything,"

"All I can give is to slay the dragon."
