"Okay... ah?" Fingel suddenly realized, "How did it become me!"
He had originally planned to provoke Lin Chen's competitive spirit and then watch the spectacle between Lin Chen and the Gattuso family.
But without realizing it, Fingel was tricked by Lin Chen and agreed to help Lin Chen deal with the Gattuso family without even realizing it.
Lin Chen tossed an unopened chocolate to Fingel: "Since you've taken on this task yourself, I won't say any more. It's all up to you!"
"Hey..." Fingel was on the verge of tears, "Is it too late for me to say I was too impulsive?"
"It's late!" Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Fingel. "These shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"It's not difficult, but I do have some juicy gossip about the Gattuso family's higher-ups. But this is the Gattuso family, you know. I'm afraid of dying!"
"Remember, I'm your boss! You can leave evidence against me when you commit the crime. If they want revenge, they'll only come after me!"
Finger was immediately pleased: "That's fine, as long as the retaliation doesn't reach me."
"Get your work done and let me see your professional skills!"
"Alright!" Fingel patted his chest. "Finger will always be your most loyal henchman!"
……
Lin Chen was about to continue writing his thesis when his phone on the table vibrated.
Lin Chen received a message on his phone from Nuonuo, inviting him to meet up.
After Lin Chen finished packing her things and went downstairs, Nuonuo was already waiting for her outside the dormitory.
She was wearing a pale yellow dress and standing under a street lamp, balancing on the cobblestone pavement, having a great time like a child.
When Nuonuo saw Lin Chen, she was standing under a street lamp, the light shining on her dress, making her look as proud as a swan.
But her composure crumbled in an instant, and she shoved her phone right in front of Lin Chen's face: "Look, I almost got killed!"
Lin Chen looked at the chat history on his phone, which showed the contact between the Nuonuo family and her.
"What the hell?! They've arranged a marriage for me!" Nono raised her eyebrows. "What era are we living in? They're still doing this kind of thing!"
"And the Gattuso family?"
"Yes, I don't know what kind of spell my family was cast on, but they actually agreed to the Gattuso family's proposal. I heard they even accepted the bride price!"
"The Gattuso family also has such a thing as a bride price?"
“It’s according to the customs on my side,” Nuonuo said. “According to my family, the bride price is probably as much as the family’s entire fortune!”
"They're quite generous!"
"What the hell? This is basically selling me off!" Nono said. "Marrying Caesar? Are you kidding me? I'd be a fool to agree to that!"
"So what did you say?"
“I told them I already have a man!” Nuonuo said. “I told them I have Lin Chen, but they didn’t believe me.”
"Do not believe?"
“They’ve heard of you, and they think, how could someone like you, who can slay the Dragon King, possibly be interested in me and willing to stay with me forever? So naturally they don’t believe it!” Nono spread her hands. “On the contrary, the heir who marries into the Gattuso family can become the mistress of the house!”
Lin Chen smiled helplessly: "Give me your phone?"
Nono handed over her phone: "What for?"
Lin Chen opened his phone's camera, adjusted the front-facing camera, and then unexpectedly kissed Nuonuo on the lips.
Nono was taken aback, but did not refuse.
"Crack!"
Lin Chen loosened his grip: "Alright, send the photos to your family, and by the way, please pass on a message for me: you already have a husband, and if anyone objects, have them come and talk to your husband!"
Nono clapped her hands: "Isn't this a bit too high-profile? Although I'm not exactly a well-behaved girl at home, this is just too unrestrained!"
Lin Chen shrugged: "What era are we living in? Let's tell them that American college students are just this unrestrained!"
"It has to be you, Lin Chen! We'll do as you say!"
"Call me husband!" Lin Chen grasped the key point.
Nono held her head high, too proud to speak, but in the end she chose to surrender.
"Husband!" Nono lowered her head and did as she was told.
"Good girl!" Lin Chen patted Nuonuo's head. "I'll handle things with the Gattuso family."
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Isn't it just about wanting a bride? What do you think of Fingel?"
"Hiss... Isn't that a bit too cruel!" Nono exclaimed. "Caesar is a nobleman after all, he has good taste. Even if he were gay, he might not be interested in this guy Fingel!"
"Then you don't need to worry," Lin Chen said with a smile. "I will give the Gattuso family a grand gift for their wedding!"
243: The embryo of an ancient dragon on the seabed! Sinking the land of cherry blossoms?
Nono asked curiously, "What are you planning to do? Storm Italy and destroy the Gattuso family's wedding?"
"I have a better way," Lin Chen said. "Just kill the groom!"
Nono exclaimed, "You're going to kill Caesar?"
"Afraid?"
Nono smiled slyly: "No, I mean... count me in!"
Lin Chen pinched Nuonuo's little face: "You're getting more and more naughty!"
"I haven't had anything to do in so long!" Nuonuo shrugged. "You guys can go to the North City to do missions. I heard you're having a lot of fun there. But I can't. I've been stuck at school with Susie!"
"I'm graduating soon, and then I can finally take a proper vacation."
Nono rested her head on Lin Chen's shoulder: "Oh yeah, we're graduating soon!"
"What do you plan to do?"
“According to the college’s procedures, outstanding students are supposed to join the executive department after graduation. Speaking of which, I’ve talked to my advisor, Mans, and he suggested that I stay at the college.”
The college only graduates a limited number each year, and those with outstanding abilities are even fewer.
There weren't many outstanding students in Lin Chen's year, so Lin Chen was destined not to stay at the school. Caesar was the heir of his family, and then there were Nono and Susie, who naturally became the school's key targets for retaining students.
"So what are your plans?" Lin Chen asked.
"You know I don't like being restricted by rules and regulations. Actually, I'm not really interested in slaying dragons. I'd rather have it easy."
Lin Chen patted Nuonuo on the back: "Then come to my company, I'll find you a leisurely job, you can go on company trips at company expense and enjoy company dividends!"
"Sounds good!" Nono laughed. "But I can't control you. Who knows, I might run off to play somewhere someday."
"Whatever you want," Lin Chen said. "Just come back anytime you miss me!"
Lin Chen placed no restrictions on Nuonuo.
This girl is used to being free-spirited and unrestrained; she is a book that cannot stand alone.
Lin Chen was happy to see Nuonuo let loose, since he had no shortage of girls around him even if Nuonuo went out and went crazy.
……
Kassel Academy.
Watt Alheim.
In Norse mythology, Wat Aalheim means "land of dwarves," inhabited by the most skilled dwarf craftsmen who forged the weapons of the gods.
This is the renowned Department of Equipment of the Academy, officially named the Institute of Alchemy and Scientific Engineering Applications, but to put it bluntly, it's a paradise for madmen.
The madmen are obsessed with researching all sorts of dangerous weapons, and their biggest influence in the academy is creating all kinds of explosions.
But at this moment, Angers was sitting on one side of the round table in the conference room, surrounded by a group of people all wearing white protective suits.
The crazy guys in the equipment department take hygiene very seriously. Even when they have a meeting with Angers, they are fully armed, first with fully enclosed biochemical protective suits, and even with protective goggles, ventilators and oxygen tubes.
Angers frowned slightly at this, but he was more concerned about the content of the meeting.
He was attending a high-society party overseas, surrounded by many socialites, when he was suddenly disturbed by news from the Ministry of Equipment and flew back to the academy overnight.
According to the Equipment Department, this is absolutely shocking news; even if Angers had just knocked down a girl, he would have to get up!
Deputy Minister of Equipment Karl stood up, played an audio recording, and began to explain the reasons for holding the meeting.
The audio begins with the sound of the sea breeze, but upon closer listening, you'll discover that the sea breeze is also accompanied by a heavy and powerful sound.
"Dong dong..."
"Dong dong..."
"Boom..."
Angers' expression turned grave: "That's a heartbeat!"
Deputy Director Karl explained, "This is an audio recording made by Moniach in the waters off Japan. It's the sound of a dragon's heartbeat. It's hiding deep in the trench in Japan, which is over eight kilometers deep. But the heartbeat still penetrates eight kilometers of seawater, which shows how huge it is!"
Angers gripped the folding knife he had been playing with. Chu Zihang returned the knife to Angers after returning to school.
"Such a massive heartbeat, is it from the first generation?"
