Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 140: Thunder and the Watcher (50)

Dragon Raja 5

Susie was so anxious that she was sweating all over. In Lancelot’s eyes, Chu Zihang might be an enemy more terrifying than Lu Mingfei. He should have remotely injected the immortals with the Dragon King serum. At this moment, those violent creatures that were close to pure-blooded dragons were besieging Chu Zihang, and that guy with simple eyes thought that he was only facing an opponent of the battering ram level.

She had to find a way to reestablish communication, no matter what. Only if she could talk to Lancelot could she explain everything clearly. If Chu Zihang hadn’t pinned her to the floor, she could at least get up and use sign language on the monitor, but now the slightest movement was so painful that she was about to faint.

    ***

At this time, on another cargo ship more than ten nautical miles away, Crow was lying quietly on the deck, looking at the dark clouds and thick fog in the sky.

He still had a cigarette in his mouth, but it went out halfway through burning. The sea was so humid tonight that his box of cigarettes seemed to have been soaked in sea water and smelled of sea salt.

But he was completely oblivious to this. He had failed, completely defeated, and at that moment he felt like an ancient Japanese samurai, defeated by his nemesis before a vast army. His nemesis had ridden off to pursue his fleeing soldiers, and he lay on the silent, bloody battlefield, awaiting his fate: reinforcements would arrive to rescue him, or his nemesis would turn around and chop off his head. It didn’t matter.

Actually, it wasn’t that bad. He believed in Lancelot’s promise. As long as Lu Mingfei didn’t transform into a dragon and wantonly slaughter Lancelot’s men, Lancelot would ensure his safety. And Lu Mingfei certainly wouldn’t do such a thing. Not to mention that he wasn’t aggressive to begin with. Even if he didn’t want to be arrested, he wouldn’t let Nuonuo accompany him. If he really couldn’t escape, he would surrender.

Someone handed a cigarette to Crow from the side. Crow glanced at the person and saw that it was Fujiwara Nobunosuke. Crow didn’t know that this round-faced boy also smoked. He was always timid in front of Crow, like an intern who had just graduated from school.

Crow turned over and sat up, taking the cigarette that Fujiwara Nobunosuke handed him. It was a small, aged cigar, still very dry. Fujiwara Nobunosuke kept the cigarettes in a flat platinum cigarette case, which was well sealed to avoid the erosion of the sea breeze.

Fujiwara Nobunosuke lit a cigar for Crow and one for himself. Not long ago, Crow had been drinking with Lancelot, and now he was smoking with Fujiwara Nobunosuke. The wreckage of the crashed helicopter was still emitting black smoke not far away. This was truly a night full of twists and turns.

“I’m sorry, Saeki-kun. This is a request from Lancelot-kun. I can’t let you go.” Fujiwara Nobunosuke’s tone was still as respectful as before. “In fact, my work in Japan was only possible thanks to you. I owe you a favor.”

Crow’s heart moved slightly. He was quite grateful to Fujiwara Nobunosuke for him. Moreover, this guy was a representative of the academy stationed in Tokyo, not one of Lancelot’s specialists who were good at fighting. He might be able to break the situation by using Fujiwara Nobunosuke.

It was simple. If only Fujiwara Nobunosuke was willing to call and report his safety, the Crane Group would realize he was in trouble. Because in this world, there was only one person crow would report his safety to, and that was his father. There were a few other people he would have thought of reporting his safety to, but they were all gone.

As soon as he thought about it, Crow’s acting skills came into play, frowning tightly and smoking his cigar fiercely.

“Saeki-kun doesn’t have to worry about Lu-kun. Lancelot-kun has guaranteed with his own credit that the academy will no longer use extreme measures against Lu-kun. As long as Lu-kun gives up violent resistance, he will be safe.” Fujiwara Nobunosuke was indeed moved by his face of deep hatred and pain, and comforted him with gentle words.

“I understand. I’m not worried about this. I’m just a little unwilling to accept my defeat.” Crow sighed, “But my battle is over.”

“Based on your understanding of Lu Jun, he won’t resist violently, right?” Fujiwara Nobunosuke seemed a little worried. “Lancelot-kun’s promise is based on the premise that Lu Jun will cooperate and no one in the academy will be killed or injured.”

“If he really was that aggressive, it would be questionable how many of you would be alive today,” Crow said coldly.

“But that night on the street, he looked like the devil.”

“Isn’t it the audio that the Gattuso family asked you to send?” Crow’s tone became impatient. Fujiwara Nobunosuke always talked in such a long-winded way. When would he get to the topic that Crow wanted to talk about?

“Yeah, that audio… Miss Nono was also there. It seems like the Gattuso family really doesn’t even care about Miss Chen’s life or death.”

Crow’s heart trembled. He had thought about this before. Could it be that the Gattuso family was really so unkind?

“The Gattuso family no longer wants their bride?” He wanted to find out from Fujiwara Nobunosuke.

“It is said that the family elders are very furious, but Caesar doesn’t know yet. The Gattuso family is a family that has been passed down since the Middle Ages. They have extremely high requirements for the bloodline of their heirs. This is the case with mixed-blood families. Once the bloodline is contaminated, the advantages of the offspring will disappear. They are probably worried about something happening between Miss Chen and Lu Jun.”
