Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 128: Thunder and the Watcher (38)

Dragon Raja 5

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Chu Zihang was so calm, as if he had suddenly grown up or returned to his age. He was the kind of person who would silently rush towards the blade.

“If my brother and sister died, people would be sad. But if I die, it won’t matter.” Chu Zihang mouthed, “I’m someone everyone has forgotten anyway.”

“Brother and sister want to escape.” After he said that, he locked the hatch from the outside.

“Since you have arranged everything, why do you still want to get on this boat with me?” The crow stared into Lancelot’s eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

He was completely defeated, completely manipulated by Lancelot from beginning to end. But he wanted to know how he had lost. If Lancelot had never trusted him from the beginning, why did he bring his entire crew with him on this ship? He even patiently reviewed the entire plan for himself.

“Because I don’t want to get into a real conflict with you,” Lancelot said slowly. “You can mobilize the entire Japanese Executive Bureau, especially the Crane Group, which is a mix of elite troops from the Snake Eight Clans and the Oni Clan. I know they’re waiting for orders, and as soon as you give the order, they’ll attack us. That would be tantamount to reopening the war between the Academy and the Snake Eight Clans, so please do not issue such an order.”

The two people behind him suddenly locked onto Crow. One of them reached out and pulled out the wire hidden in Crow’s hair behind his ear, and then followed the wire to pull out the satellite phone hidden in his waist.

With this satellite phone, he could command the Crane Crew at any time, even on the sea where there was no cell phone signal. This was Crow’s final bargaining chip. He had not used the satellite phone because Lancelot never took his eyes off him, and he did not want to reveal his trump card.

But he didn’t expect that Lancelot had already guessed that he was carrying a communication device.

The satellite phone was handed to Lancelot. Lancelot took a look at it, turned around and handed it to the person standing behind him.

“After this matter is over, there will be no statements that are unfavorable to you in the report I submit to the academy. I will say that it was because of the active assistance of the Japanese Executive Bureau that we were able to successfully capture them. There will also continue to be peace between the academy and the Eight Snake Families.” Lancelot stood up and looked up.

A faint sound of wind came from the sky. It was a helicopter hidden high in the sky. The strong wind and high tide covered up the sound of its rotors very well. Now it was descending towards the ship.

“It’s time for me to go. Don’t worry, I will still honor my previous promise. If it’s not absolutely necessary, I will not use lethal force against Lu Mingfei.” Lancelot carried the seven deadly sins on his back and turned to board the helicopter that had just landed. “Mr. Fujiwara Nobunosuke, Mr. Saeki will be in your care. Remember to keep that phone online at all times. If Mr. Saeki is offline, the Crane Group will also be dispatched.”

The team member holding the satellite phone pulled down his tactical mask, revealing the baby face of Fujiwara Nobunosuke. Perhaps he didn’t know how to face the angry crow, so he even bowed slightly.

Only four commissioners stayed, and everyone boarded the helicopter with Lancelot. Before the plane took off, Lancelot looked around and signaled, and all the commissioners on the plane pulled down their masks.

Crow was stunned. Aside from Gonzales, who had spoken, the others were unfamiliar faces. The girl with the black blades strapped to her belt wasn’t Susie, and the girl carrying the heavy sniper rifle wasn’t Victoria either.

None of those experienced specialists boarded the ship. No wonder they were wearing tactical masks and remained silent.

By now, Lancelot’s entire plan was clear. He had found a group of men from nowhere to replace his own squad, using himself as bait to trap the crows. At that moment, the elite hunters were watching the developments on the other ship, while Lu Mingfei, presumably transformed into a dragon, roared and fought against those fearless immortals.

    ***

Chu Zihang crawled slowly in the ventilation duct. He crawled very slowly, and it seemed more like he was playing hide-and-seek with the immortals than escaping.

As soon as he ran out of the cabin, the immortals on the upper floor immediately followed his footsteps and moved at high speed. Lu Mingfei guessed correctly, the immortals did detect them by their extremely sharp hearing. But the immortals’ brains, messed up by the erosion of dragon blood, could not make precise logical analysis, and they hunted based on instinct. So they immediately gave up the heartbeats of Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo and chased the clearer footsteps. More immortals gathered from all directions. Chu Zihang suppressed his fear and ran as fast as he could, through the empty corridors and restaurants, and ran back to the cabin where he and Nuonuo lived. Fortunately, he did not encounter any immortals along the way, but the sound of immortals’ footsteps kept following him.

There was an entrance to the ventilation system in his and Nono’s cabin. Before an immortal broke through the wall and entered the cabin, Chu Zihang crawled into the ventilation duct.
