Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 98: Thunder and the Watcher (8)

Dragon Raja 5

“There are two possibilities. One is that they haven’t revealed some hidden cards yet. The other is that their goal isn’t to hunt you, but to keep an eye on you and wait for reinforcements to arrive. If that transmitter really exists, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to keep an eye on you.”

Nono thought for a moment and nodded, “You’re right, Lancelot won’t do anything without assurance.”

“But we don’t care what his plan is. We take the initiative. We control them and prevent them from taking action. Then you can leave Japan calmly. By the time reinforcements from the academy arrive, you will be a million miles away from Japan.”

“Who can control Lancelot?” Nono asked.

“Of course not you. You just need to pack your bags. I will send the Crane Group to do it. You have seen those people. They are well-trained and reliable.”

Lu Mingfei was taken aback. “Those are from the Japanese Executive Bureau, not your private soldiers. If you mobilize them, it means that the Eight Snake Clans are hostile to the academy.”

“I’ll take the blame. It has nothing to do with the Snake Qi Eight Clans. The worst that can happen is that I resign and the academy imprisons me on a small island in the Pacific. The secret party’s rules prohibit the execution of anyone other than dragons and out-of-control hybrids. I won’t die, and they can’t lock me up forever. The clan will always find a way to get me out,” Crow said carelessly. “Then I’ll continue to be a gangster for the rest of my life. Anyway, I’m not as idealistic as the boss. I’m tired of being the acting director of the Execution Bureau.”

Before Lu Mingfei could say anything, Crow had already stood up and walked towards the door.

“After leaving Japan, you’ll have to run away like a chicken and fend for yourself. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you find any clues, but after all, I’m not the boss who has the final say. I’m just a second-rate person with limited abilities.” Crow said, “I’ve also thought of a means of evacuation for you. I still need to finalize it and let you know when it’s ready.”

“I’ll see you off.” Lu Mingfei also stood up and followed.

The two men walked downstairs side by side in silence. When they reached the hotel entrance, Lu Mingfei broke the silence and asked, “Why are you helping me?”

“Aren’t we friends?” the crow said calmly.

“That was in the past. Back then, you hadn’t seen me transformed into a dragon. Now you have.”

Crow stopped, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag. “You’re ready, right? Whether it’s the devil or the Dragon King, if you really can’t control it, you’ll be destroyed along with them.”

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

“A man who has thought about what to say on his tombstone has certainly also thought about dying,” the crow said again.

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then nodded. Even a crow could guess what he was thinking. He was truly a good guesser.

“Master Yuan Zhinu said that you are a man with the eyes of a lion, and he bet on you to win. I don’t know why he was so confident in you, but I also bet on you to win. Don’t send me off. What’s so reluctant about parting between men?”

After saying this, Crow left without even turning his head. He waved the hand holding the cigarette as a farewell.

“Your hair grows so fast, you look like an Angora rabbit.” The scissors in Nono’s hand made a clicking sound.

Chu Zihang sat obediently and let Nuonuo operate on his head.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the mirror, looking at his head which was a little bald after being shaved, and fiddled with it left and right, trying to cover up the bald spot.

The ground was littered with boxes of all sizes. Some boxes contained light and heavy weapons, some contained medicines and clothes for all seasons, and one box contained compressed food that was enough for the three of them to live in the wilderness for three months.

It doesn’t feel like an escape, but more like a move.

But what Crow said was right. After leaving Tokyo, it was hard to say when they would stay in a big city next time. It was always better to prepare enough supplies.

“I say, in your memory, do I have such a good relationship with this guy?” Nuonuo circled around Chu Zihang’s head.

“It was fine, but I’m definitely not familiar enough with you to help cut his hair.” Lu Mingfei said.

“No way? He’s so well-behaved and handsome, I should have a good relationship with him.”

“The senior brother I remember wasn’t that obedient. He was a killer.”

“That would be so boring. If he regained his memory, wouldn’t it be so boring?”

Lu Mingfei’s heart moved slightly. It was really a paradox. He had always wanted to repair this world that was messed up by a certain word spirit, but once this world was repaired, some precious things would disappear.

For example, the well-behaved and handsome Chu Zihang whom Nono found interesting, and the love between Lancelot and Susie that sounded perfect. Nono had witnessed all that beauty with her own eyes, by the campfire in Madagascar.

After that conversation, Nuonuo never mentioned Susie again, as if she had completely forgotten her best friend. Lu Mingfei understood, so he didn’t say anything.

There are some things that you know are useless to think about, and trying too hard to think about them is just wasting your time.     

“I’m going out for a walk.” Lu Mingfei put on a baseball cap and picked up the backpack on the sofa.
