Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

Angers looked at his old partner: "And you, where did you go last night? Why didn't you go check on the situation?"

"I set up the alchemical domain of the Well of Oblivion. I sensed it the moment it was destroyed. As for why I didn't go down... do you want to hold my funeral now?"

The Night Watchman told Angers to calm down, and then said, "I had at least 1200 tons of mercury injected into my alchemical field, but last night's high temperature evaporated it all... What I'm trying to say is that two dragon kings were fighting here last night."

“I understand. One is here to steal the dragon bones, and the other is here to help us guard them,” Angers said softly. “They may both be dragon kings, but we don’t know if they are friend or foe.”

“All dragons are our enemies… But don’t think about that now. Your hearing will proceed as scheduled and will not be postponed because of today’s events.”

The Night's Watch patted Angers on the shoulder one last time, telling him to get ready.

On the other side, when Gu Ran got up with a yawn, it was already noon.

Because of the earthquake that struck the ice cellar, many of the school's dormitories collapsed and became ruins.

Lu Mingfei and Finger were wrapped in bed sheets in the ruins of their dormitory, watching the rescue workers come and go.

The dormitory collapsed, but miraculously, they weren't buried. They were incredibly lucky to survive.

What Lu Mingfei wanted most at that moment was a piece of clothing, because he had slept naked the night before and wasn't wearing any clothes underneath.

Fingel wanted a grilled sausage because he was hungry.

The two started bickering again, arguing about whether it was more important to wear clothes or to eat.

When Gu Ran handed them two bowls of instant noodles, they immediately reached a consensus: eating was indeed the most important thing.

So, wrapped in bedsheets, the two of them ate pickled cabbage and beef noodles together in the ruins, with sausages and braised eggs, along with sugary drinks—a perfect meal.

Chu Zihang left the hospital today and also participated in the rescue efforts in the rubble.

He looked towards Valhalla, where an explosion had occurred at the wellhead, scorching the surrounding area for several meters.

Clearly, this was not as simple as the minor earthquake described in the school's announcement.

*……*……*

The hearing was held as usual in the Valhalla meeting room, with students from the student council and the Lionheart Society each taking half of the seats in the audience.

The two groups sat clearly separated on the left and right sides of the venue. The Lionheart Society members wore dark red school uniforms and white headscarves, while the Student Council members wore black school uniforms, and Caesar's Lace Dance Troupe wore black lace dresses.

On the other side, Xia Mi and her classmates from the freshman social club also sat on the side of the Lionheart Club to show their support.

Lu Mingfei sat on the edge of the Lionheart Club, like an outsider. He supported Senior Brother Chu, but he was a member of the student council, so his position was somewhat awkward.

"Indeed, I still think black stockings look better than white stockings." Gu Ran sat down next to Lu Mingfei and said softly while looking at the black stockings dance troupe.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Gu Ran and saw that he wasn't wearing the Lionheart Club's crimson school uniform, but rather the same dark green formal suit as him.

In this way, Lu Mingfei wouldn't feel lonely.

Lu Mingfei smiled when he heard Gu Ran's words. For some reason, he recalled the scene a few months ago when Nuonuo was practicing dance in a white silk ballet dress.

At that time, she looked like she was wearing a wedding dress.

Chapter 285 Bounty for Fenrir

Lu Mingfei knew he was unworthy to be her groom, but he never expected that she would become someone else's bride so quickly.

As he was thinking, Lu Mingfei suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Make way, give me your seat."

Lu Mingfei looked up and paused, stunned.

Nono arrived at the scene at some point and wanted to sit next to Lu Mingfei.

She was wearing a dark red school uniform, the same as the Lionhearts.

A commotion erupted in the gallery. Caesar's girlfriend was sitting on the Lionheart side. What was she planning?

“They’re distributed here,” Lu Mingfei said softly. “Caesar is over there.”

"But I like red, I don't like wearing all black." Nono sat down, a fragrant breeze wafting from her, refreshing and pleasant.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's lustful and restless expression, Gu Ran decided to tell him the truth.

"Actually, Susie has already made a deal with Caesar. Caesar is on our side. The current clear-cut opposition between the two major gangs is just a staged performance."

"What?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then shouted and stood up.

It took him a lot of courage to 'betray' the boss and sit on his senior's side.

Everyone stared at him as if he were a fool.

Nuonuo kicked him from the side, and Lu Mingfei's knees buckled, causing him to sit down again.

"Why tell him so soon!" Nuonuo glared at Gu Ran. "I wanted to see his stunned expression after he found out the truth."

Gu Ran asked with a smile, "You really want to tease your little brother? You enjoy seeing him make a fool of himself?"

"I've been wanting to have some fun for so long!" Nono said domineeringly.

"quiet!"

King Solomon sat in the chairman's seat, tapped his gavel, and announced the official start of today's hearing, allowing the board of directors' investigation team and the school's management team to begin presenting evidence and debating.

The head of the investigation team, Andrew, was sweating profusely. He had originally thought that the impeachment of Angers was a sure thing, but too many unexpected things had happened along the way, and the vice principal was really too difficult to deal with.

Andrew wiped the sweat from his forehead, steeled himself, and stepped forward to release the first document, which was Chu Zihang's mission record.

Chu Zihang's first few missions all had problems. For example, at the baseball stadium in Cape Town, he used the Word of Power: Monarch's Flame in public, burning the clothes of hundreds of spectators.

There was also the Hancock Tower in Chicago, where, due to the mistaken trust in the Equipment Department, their equipment was used and ended up shattering windows on several floors.

The subsequent incidents, such as the Deadpool in Stockholm, the pregnant woman undergoing cesarean section at the New York hospital, and the Runde Building incident, were all completed perfectly without causing any impact, thanks to Gu Ran's intervention and assistance.

Because Norma's data had been altered by paparazzi, Andrew could only use online news from public media as evidence.

For example, CNN news and Twitter posts attempted to prove that Chu Zihang's mission had a significant impact and exposed the existence of the Secret Party.

However, the impact of the previous missions was mitigated by Fingel bribing reporters to remove posts and trending topics from the website. He also played some fake news interviews from YouTube, claiming that these were done by superhumans like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Superman, without making outsiders associate them with the Dragon Clan.

The vice principal said, "Journalism students these days are becoming increasingly shameless. The investigation team actually used news reports as evidence? That's absurd! Are we supposed to believe that Spider-Man and Batman exist in this world?"

"Hahaha!" The Lionheart Society let out a knowing, mocking laugh.

The professors and tenured professors sitting on the jury nodded in agreement with the vice president's point of view.

Andrew gritted his teeth in hatred and glared at Fingel from afar. He knew about the paparazzi's whitewashing and Norma was firmly controlled by the Secret Service, so under pressure from all sides, he simply couldn't produce any more evidence.

The room began to murmur, and King Solomon on the platform banged his gavel forcefully: "Silence! Let's get back to the original purpose of this hearing, which is to investigate Chu Zihang's lineage."

Solomon reiterated the Abrahamic Cult of Blood: Hybrids are neither purely good nor purely evil; they possess the capacity to kill but not the desire to kill. Remember that we stand on the side of humanity; anyone who cannot control evil becomes our enemy, and we must purge the ranks of those with impure bloodlines.

King Solomon closed the heavy covenant, the Abrahamic Law, and solemnly proclaimed: "At this moment our covenant is ended, and our swords will be pointed at those who have fallen into the abyss."

Everyone stood up at the same time, placing their left hand on their chest as a sign of reverence for the legal code.

King Solomon looked at Andrew and said that his use of the news media as evidence was very unreliable, and that the investigation team should produce more and stronger evidence.

Andrew sighed; there was no evidence left.

The most compelling evidence should have been Chu Zihang's blood sample, but with Gu Ran present, Percy didn't take Chu Zihang's blood sample away at all.

All we have now are witnesses.

Andrew invited Caesar to the stage as a witness, hoping he could provide compelling testimony.

But as Gu Ran said, Caesar had already made a deal with Susie, using the Lionheart Society's Bloodlust technology in exchange for support for Chu Zihang.

In fact, even without such a deal, Caesar would not have sided with the Gattuso family, because he hated them deeply after his mother's death.

Therefore, after Caesar came to power, he swore in the name of the Gattuso family that his testimony was true, otherwise, my father would be hit by a car and killed!

Then, Caesar began to speak at length, full of heartfelt praise for Chu Zihang, as if he were a close friend, leaving Andrew speechless.

This witness testified to Andrew's fatal mistake. He hadn't expected that Gattuso's name was so insignificant in Caesar's eyes, and that he could swear an oath so casually.

In the audience, members of the student council and the Lionheart Society began to sit together, no longer clearly separated as before.

Nono, with her red hair, stood up and hugged Caesar, celebrating enthusiastically as if mocking the investigation team's foolishness.

Lu Mingfei sat next to Gu Ran, staring blankly as his goddess embraced a handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed man. Suddenly, something pierced his heart.

He stood out from the hustle and bustle around him, like an outsider.

Gu Ran glanced at him from the side, then looked away, thinking that he should be able to let go of it by the time he saw Erii.

On the other side, Chu Zihang, in the suspects' seat, looked across the crowd and saw Lu Mingfei, who looked dejected and had retreated to a corner.

He seemed about to say something, but suddenly, the hearing room was pushed open, and a chilling announcement was made:

The Hunter Market has a new bounty! A dragon named Fenrir has awakened in Beijing, China, with a bounty of one hundred million US dollars!

Everyone present fell silent upon hearing the name of Fenrir the Dragon King.

Once this bounty is announced, two problems will arise. First, the Dragon King will awaken. Second, the Dragon King's secret will be revealed to ordinary people.

Because the hunter market contains not only hybrids, but also many ordinary people.

At the same time, Gu Ran received a text message on his phone from Zhang Wanjun, which also contained the news of his selection and hoped that he could return to China and go to Beijing.

He stood up, looked at the group, and said, "Let's stop this childish farce for now. It's time for us to get down to business."

"Shut up!" Andrew seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions, looking at Gu Ran and saying, "Who are you to speak here?"

Gu Ran sneered and stared coldly at him, making Andrew feel uneasy.

The next second, he used the Sharingan's genjutsu to control Andrew.

Suddenly, Andrew went berserk, slapping himself repeatedly, saying with each slap, "I'm sorry, I was too loud."

Those around him were bewildered, wondering what was wrong with Andrew.

Percy stood in front of Andrew, blocking Gu Ran's view.

Gu Ran was too lazy to argue with a clown like Andrew, so he dispelled his illusion. At the same time, he decided that he would not sell the wedding building unless the Gattuso family came up with three hundred million US dollars.

Andrew came to his senses at this moment. He was of low bloodline and his willpower was average. So after he came to his senses, he completely forgot about slapping himself. He just felt a burning pain on his face and didn't know who was behind it. But he didn't dare to look at Gu Ran anymore.

Percy looked at Gu Ran not far away and thought to himself that this person was really scary, as he could hypnotize people without them noticing.

The hearing ended there. Chu Zihang's lineage remained in doubt, but his case was temporarily put on hold.

Chu Zihang said he would go to Beijing with Lu Mingfei to prove his lineage through his actions.
