Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 157: Thunder and the Watcher (67)

Dragon Raja 5

Or would it be better to abandon the car and flee now, carefully hide in Tokyo for a while, and then head to the sparsely populated Hokkaido, and try to find a fishing boat that is not easy to detect to leave the country?

Various methods flashed through Lu Mingfei’s mind, and just when he was getting annoyed, the phone rang.

It was the car phone in this car. Nowadays, few cars are equipped with car phones, but when this antique sports car was produced, mobile phones were still rare and only the most fashionable and wealthy car owners could own a car phone.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked at each other. Lu Mingfei picked up the phone but didn’t say anything.

God knows who called, maybe EVA, telling you that you have been located and giving you ten seconds to get out of the car and surrender, otherwise the Sword of Retribution will be dropped.

“Don’t be nervous, it’s me.” The caller’s voice was hoarse and sounded very tired.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then jumped up with joy and hit his head on the windshield.

That was the voice of Crow on the phone.

The Crane Group claimed they had arrived after receiving a signal from the Crow, so the Crow hadn’t betrayed them. Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was also a little worried about the Crow, as another Crane Group detachment headed for the location where the Crow had sent the signal, only to find an empty ship with two people shot in the head on board.

Judging from the current traces, Crow jumped into the sea. With such strong winds and waves, what are the chances of survival for someone who jumps into the sea?

Lu Mingfei was about to ask the crow how he escaped back when he was interrupted by the crow.

“Fujiwara Nobunosuke,” Crow said, “That guy is from the Gattuso family. I didn’t realize it, but the Gattuso family wants to harm Miss Chen. Be sure to be careful of Fujiwara Nobunosuke. Kill him immediately if you see him. Don’t even give him time to talk. His Yanling is ‘Time Zero’.”

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment. He had always believed that Nono was safe because Caesar was protecting her, but Caesar and the Gattuso family did not agree on the same point. That old and conservative family must be furious with Nono.

Strangely, even Nono’s father seems to be assisting the Gattuso family; the video urging Nono to return home was indeed recorded by her father. It’s understandable that the in-laws want to drown their runaway daughter-in-law, but it’s insane that her family also helps to tie stones to her body.

“Are you still listening?” asked crow.

“Listen, we are stuck on the highway to the airport. Is Kaguya-sama’s firewall about to collapse?” Lu Mingfei said.

“I know. My car has a GPS, so I can see your location. Kaguya is making a final stand, but within half an hour, all of Japan will fall under EVA control.” Crow coughed softly twice. “There’s a fork in the highway not far ahead of you. Drive straight after you get off the highway and you’ll see a private helipad. I’ve arranged a small plane for you there.”

Lu Mingfei’s eyes lit up, “Thank you!”

There is no need to say much. We are friends who have drunk and boasted together, and have been through life and death together. It would be too formal to say more.

There was indeed a fork in the road ahead. Lu Mingfei honked his horn like crazy, shouting in his not-so-authentic Japanese, “There’s a patient in my car.” The driver in front was surprised, but he still managed to make room for him to pass. Lu Mingfei drove a short distance and then plunged onto the highway.

After exiting the highway, they found a two-lane internal road, a road not even listed on the map. The vintage sports car roared to its maximum speed, and soon they saw the private helipad that Crow had mentioned, surrounded by barbed wire.

Lu Mingfei was ecstatic. He was indeed a reliable crow! How could he not be happy when he had a reliable brother in this world?

“Hello, are you still listening?” The crow’s voice came from the phone again.

Lu Mingfei then realized that the phone was still on. He was so happy to hear that Crow had arranged the flight that he started driving as soon as he hung up the phone.

“Listening, listening! I see the helipad!” said Lu Mingfei.

“It has a blue and white fuselage with a bird painted on the tail. The captain will take off as soon as he sees you, and you can go wherever you want. The plane is too small to fly far, so you’ll have to find another means of transportation when you get there. Time is tight, so we can only make do with what we have.” Crow paused, “Mr. Lu, that statement makes a lot of sense.”

“Which sentence?” Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“There’s no point looking back at the past and the people who are gone. Just focus on the future.” Crow whispered, “If you can’t be a good knight to one person, be a good knight to another. Don’t let her down.”

The call was hung up and Lu Mingfei stared at the receiver blankly.

He really didn’t expect that this was the crow’s parting words. Yes, the mistakes you have made cannot be made again. You should protect whoever you like, and bite whoever bullies her.

But he still left Nono behind, because he wasn’t the one who could truly protect her. Monsters were meant to be alone, to journey alone, without dragging anyone down. She’d already endured a difficult journey, and now that Caesar was here, she could finally get some sleep.
