Rome, Italy.
Frost Gattuso sat behind his desk in a patch of sunshine.
As the de facto head of the Gattuso family, he sits behind this desk almost every day, waiting for someone to knock on the door and come in to deliver information.
He dictates dozens of letters and signs hundreds of documents every day, managing his family's businesses with hundreds of thousands of employees around the world without leaving home.
He is very satisfied with this working condition.
A person who truly holds power does not need to run around. What truly holds power is the brain. Although the sword is sharp, it is only wielded.
He believed that he had no flaws as a brain, but he still needed a sharper sword, but the arrogant nephew Caesar refused to become a sword. This was what worried him the most in these years.
However, starting from this year, this word will probably be removed from Caesar.
Because there is an extra character who is more troublesome than Caesar.
A Chinese.
A guy who's not even a half-breed!
Gu Bei...
Frost held a photo in his hand. The background of the photo was Tokyo Port—or where it should have been.
It is said to be a port, but it no longer functions as a port. The Hellas tsunami engulfed the entire Tokyo. According to calculations, the starting point of the tsunami was deep in the Japan Trench. Tokyo Port is the seaside port closest to the Japan Trench in Tokyo. The moment the tsunami broke out, it sank to the bottom of the sea.
Now the whole of Tokyo is water, and ships can dock everywhere in Tokyo. There is no longer a need for a port - the whole of Tokyo has become a port.
True Tokyo Port.
The photo shows Tokyo submerged in water. From the things around the water, you can vaguely tell that this is Tokyo Port. There is a cruise ship parked on the water, with a few people standing on the deck, and some people are driving speedboats to the ship. people.
At the edge of the deck, stood two people who looked familiar to Frost, and after being identified by the Gattuso family's satellite, Frost recognized these two people.
Gu Bei, Chu Zihang.
As the director of Kassel, Frost is extremely familiar with the influential figures in these two colleges.
Especially Gu Bei. He just sat down to negotiate with this guy a month ago. He would be a ghost if he didn't recognize him.
There was also a man and a woman standing beside them, two people Frost had never seen before - but the young Frost always felt that he had seen them before somewhere, but he just couldn't remember them.
But that's not important.
What's important is how did these two people appear in Tokyo?
Frost knew about the resurrection of the Dragon King in Tokyo, and also knew that the Hellas tsunami was caused by the Dragon King, but he remembered that the action team assigned by the school board to perform the task in Tokyo should be Caesar and... and who Coming?
Oh, and that paparazzi who is very good at taking candid photos.
Frost remembered that the paparazzi seemed to be the head of the Ministry of Information, and he had some dirty information in his hands, including tidbits about Angers and Flamel. Frost was very fond of it. He wanted to know if there was one of his own, but he hoped not, so he didn't ask.
The tasks of the execution department are usually carried out in teams of two. Even if it is a multi-person operation, the personnel will be divided into teams of two. Moreover, Caesar's initial mission when he went to Tokyo this time was not to slay the dragon but to explore. The Dragon King's recovery was progressing, so the school board only sent the two of them.
Caesar is in charge of fighting, and the paparazzi is in charge of intelligence gathering.
This is the arrangement of the elders of the Gattuso family. The elders all believe that even if faced with the Dragon King who is about to resurrect, and with a burdensome person who can only engage in intelligence but has no combat effectiveness, Caesar can be safe.
Although Frost didn't think so, just as the acting head of the family, he couldn't veto the elders' decision, so he could only let it go.
Although accidents happened frequently later, and even the Dragon King woke up, the ending was still good.
Caesar finally returned to the family intact.
But no matter what, the executors of the mission are Caesar and Fingel.
Where did Chu Zihang and Gu Bei come from?
Frost thought for a while and understood.
Angers, it must be Angers.
Only Angers has the authority to mobilize others to participate in missions.
But... why?
Frost could still understand Angers' transfer of Chu Zihang. After all, Chu Zihang was recognized by everyone as the preparatory president of the Lionheart Club, and Angers was a well-known veteran of the Lionheart Club. He used the back door to allow Chu Zihang to participate. It is normal for this kind of job to increase seniority.
But why did Angers transfer Gu Bei?
It was obvious that Gu Bei's face was not a mixed race.
Moreover, Gu Bei was not from Kassel at all, and his relationship with Kassel was more of a cooperative state.
Angers probably couldn't be mobilized.
So, why did Gu Bei appear in Tokyo?
Frost was puzzled.
He probably didn't expect that the root cause of this incident was Gu Bei.
Whether it's the Dragon King's resurgence or the fall of Tokyo, or the dragon-slaying action of the Snake Qihachi Family. It's all controlled by Gu Bei behind the scenes.
If Herzog was still alive, he probably wouldn't have imagined that at first, Gu Bei just wanted to celebrate Eriki's birthday.
If he wasn't in a hurry to take action, then Gu Bei would have no reason or evidence to do anything to him.
All I can say is that fate has its way with people.
But Frost didn't have a God's perspective. He couldn't think of the key point and could only judge: "There is something special in Tokyo. Because of this thing, Angers and Gu Bei gathered in Tokyo by chance."
To a certain extent, this judgment is correct.
After all, the existence of the White King is special enough.
It seems that we still need to work hard from Caesar.
Speaking of Caesar, Frost had a headache.
If the headache caused by Gu Bei was like using an electric drill to cut a hole in the south door, then the pain caused by Caesar was more like having a TD driven in the lowest setting and stuffed into his shrunken cerebellum.
It doesn't hurt very much, but it hurts all the time.
Caesar has always been a troublesome child. In the final analysis, it is because he is too disobedient.
Disobedient children are the most annoying.
Sometimes when I look at his stubborn face, I really want to slap him.
But what's the use of pumping it up?
Even if you slapped him until his cheeks cracked and blood streaked into his eyes, those ice blue pupils would still look at you with disdain without blinking.
This is the real stubbornness, and you will be stubborn until death.
"Every hero needs his elders to clear the way for him before he can grow up," Frost blew the water mist in his cup, "Ask Caesar to come see me."
This was said to Patsy beside him.
Compared to Caesar's naughty and willful character, Patsy is undoubtedly a better choice.
The bloodline is stronger, and it is calmer and more rational.
The difference between Percy and Caesar is like Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.
It's a pity that Patsy's bloodline is too strong.
There is no future for such a strong bloodline, and the probability of losing control is as high as 99%.
Therefore, the position of the head of the family is destined to belong only to Caesar.
The difference between the two in this regard is the same as that of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke. Although Sasuke is a willful dead child, he is the reincarnation of Indra and has a bright future.
And Uchiha Itachi could only become the ladder and nourishment for Sasuke's growth, and finally rotted in Sasuke's shadow.
What a pity... Frost sighed, but before he could calm down his emotions, what Patsy said made his blood pressure soar: "Sir Frost, the young master has left the family in the morning and has not been used. The family’s means of transportation, not even the Harley, we don’t know where he went.”
"..."
Frost slapped his forehead.
The family's vehicles are all equipped with locators. If Caesar uses those vehicles, his location will be monitored at any time. This is also the method used by the family to control Caesar.
After all, Gattuso Manor is in an inaccessible mountain. If you want to walk from here to the city, even with the strength of a mixed race, you will have to walk for five hours.
But when I think about it, Caesar can indeed do this.
As for where he went...
——
Milan, Italy.
In the chapel deep inside the Milan Cathedral, a statue of the Virgin stands in the center, and on both sides of the passage are exquisite sarcophagi.
Catholic custom allows believers with high status to be buried in the church, so that future generations can come to worship.
These marble square coffins contain the bones of important people. Their names and dates of birth and death are engraved on the bottom of the square coffins. Some coffins also have images of the deceased engraved on the lids.
The latest sarcophagus is made of crystal white marble, with a young woman wearing a plain gauze robe carved on the lid.
In order to prevent the deceased's face from being known to outsiders, the sculptor specially carved a veil for her, but even this could not stop many unrelated worshipers from stopping in front of the sarcophagus, praising the beauty of the face and lamenting the ease of life. Pass away.
The date of birth and death of the deceased, as well as the last name, are written in gold on the side of the sarcophagus.
Her surname was the very rare Gurweig, and she was only twenty-six years old when she died.
Someone once checked her background and wanted to know which family this noble lady came from, but found nothing. They only knew that her funeral was personally presided over by the Pope of Rome, and it was extremely honorable.
Fresh orange flowers are always placed in front of her sarcophagus, and the lights at the four corners of the sarcophagus are never extinguished, but no one has seen her relatives come to pay their respects.
Because when mourners come, this small chapel will become a temporary restricted area.
Even if someone's ancestor is buried here, he can only wait quietly outside the door for the mourner to complete his ceremony.
Caesar placed a bouquet of white flowers on the coffin lid: "I'm here to see you, mother."
He took out a small brush and began to clean the inscriptions, even though there was no point in doing so because the sarcophagus was spotless, but this was his ritual.
"I was not in Italy during the New Year's Day a few days ago. The mission in Tokyo was quite troublesome. There were several Dragon Kings, but they were not life-threatening. There was a very... I can't say how reliable, but very strong guy was following us, and I also got along with a Dragon King for a while. She was a girl. She was pretty. But I already have someone I like. Her name is Nono... We will talk about this later. If we decide to get married, I will bring her She came to see you. I think you will like her. Speaking of the Dragon King, I feel that the Dragon King is no different from us. The one is called Xia... Forget it, it is not safe to say her name here. In short, the Dragon King is pretty good. She's easy to get along with, and she's like a bitch. She also has someone she likes, just like an ordinary human. The academy always teaches that dragons are cruel and unreasonable beings, but to be honest, I feel that she is older than the older ones in the family. Much better, those old guys are already a bunch of antiques..."
Caesar never showed his nagging side in front of others, only with his mother.
My mother's funeral was also held in this chapel. Because she gave birth to a precious heir to the Gattuso family, the funeral was of a very high standard.
But after the funeral, the family held a small thank you party. At the thank you party, everyone drank champagne and chatted happily, as if this event was worth celebrating.
That night, Caesar rushed into the thank-you party venue with gasoline and became an arsonist.
That's when the rift between him and his family officially began.
He is the only worshiper of his mother. He never misses the death anniversary and some special days every year. Even if he misses it, he will make up for it, just like this Spring Festival.
It also comes when you are in a particularly good or bad mood.
After cleaning, he half-knelt in front of the sarcophagus: "Mom, I can't tell whether it's a human or a dragon. Some dragons live like humans and have their own feelings, but they have to fight to the death. Some people can obviously live in wealth and wealth for a lifetime. But I have to embark on the road of slaying dragons because of an illusory destiny, mother, I really can’t tell."
"It's just that I'm going to do something very dangerous. I can't say what it is specifically. In short, please watch me carefully, mom."
In fact, there is no need to say any of this. He believes that his mother is watching him in the sky and knows everything he has done and what he will do next.
It's just that if Gullweger was still alive, he probably wouldn't be willing to let Caesar take a certain risk.
But no one could stop the determined Caesar.
He is such a stubborn person to begin with. Even if he breaks his leg or loses his life on the road ahead, as long as he is determined, he will not look back.
Besides, it's not that bad.
His plan does have a certain degree of danger, but if life is at risk, it is completely negligible.
Because all the risks of this plan were passed on to that guy who was not very reliable but was very strong.
Although there was no prior discussion, he felt that Gu Bei would be fine...probably.
After walking out of the chapel, the cell phone that had regained its signal made a clanging sound. Caesar ignored the news from his family, and then looked at the three items on top.
Fingel: "Boss, we are all ready. When will we start?"
A smirking emoji was added at the end, it seemed like he couldn't wait to persecute someone.
The next one.
Nuonuo: "There's some trouble over there, old guy. Give me another two days."
Well, it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer.
The last one.
Chu Zihang: "Gu Beiyou is aware of it, you'd better be more concealed."
Very good, I have the undercover agent in hand, I have the world.
Caesar called out Norma, cleared the communication records on his cell phone, and then came to the auditorium of Milan Cathedral to pay homage seriously.
He was making a wish for Gu Bei, hoping that he would not die.
At the same time, Gu Bei, who had just stepped off the high-speed rail on the other side of the ocean:
"Ah sneeze!"
Some people died, but not completely...
