Angers' voice deepened: "Any dragon is our enemy. Constantine's dragon bones have attracted the attention of other dragons, and it sounds like I'm about to have a new target."
The Night Watchman sighed, "It has to be you, Angers, still thinking about fighting such nobles at a time like this."
"This is the meaning of my life. If it weren't for revenge, I might have died long ago!"
The Night Watchman took another sip of whiskey: "Just a heads up, the problem you'll be facing for now is the investigation team. Although that old man Frost hasn't made a statement yet, I don't think he'll let this opportunity slip by."
"You mean the hearing? I've received word that the hearing will proceed as scheduled. They're eager to bring me down, so let them do what they can!" Angers said calmly.
210: The bride prepared by the Gattuso family!
late at night.
Amber Hall.
The base of the Gattuso family investigation team.
Deputy Commander Andrew was standing in front of his desk, respectfully making a phone call.
“Your Excellency Acting Head of the Frost Family!” Andrew stood ramrod straight. “I am Andrew, the Vice-Head of the Investigation Team!”
Frost's aged voice came from the other end of the phone, now filled with anger.
"Still haven't found Percy?"
Andrew looked bitter: "Master, Secretary Percy's whereabouts are always elusive, how are we supposed to find him!"
"Enough nonsense!" Frost slammed his fist on the table. "You're not going to look for Percy? Do you think you can handle tomorrow's trial?"
Andrew panicked: "How could this be? I've been sending people to look for Secretary Percy, but so far, we've searched everywhere in Kassel College, and we just can't find him. Has he left the college?!"
“Impossible!” Frost shook his head firmly. “Absolutely impossible. Percy isn’t a man without a sense of propriety. The task assigned to him isn’t finished yet; he wouldn’t leave on his own!”
“But he just disappeared!” Andrew said cautiously.
Frost sighed deeply: "Something big has happened in the ice cellar. Percy's disappearance is probably related to this. Until Secretary Percy returns, you will be in full charge of all matters concerning the investigation team!"
“This…” Andrew hesitated.
It wasn't that he was particularly apprehensive about it; it was simply that he was afraid.
The last time he came, it was to try Lin Chen.
But the consequences were predictable; it was no easy feat for Andrew to return to the Gattuso family.
Now that the investigation team has arrived again, Andrew is already traumatized. Asking him to judge others would only make him feel immense pressure.
Frost was very dissatisfied with Andrew's answer: "What? Is there a problem?"
“How could that be! Absolutely not!” Andrew quickly said.
The Gattuso family is large and powerful, and they have no shortage of capable people. Andrew doesn't want to appear incompetent and give up such a good job.
Frost nodded: "Percy is not here for the time being. You will have full authority over the investigation and trial of Chu Zihang tomorrow!"
"it is good!"
"And don't forget, you still have Angers and Lin Chen to deal with!" Frost said. "That's your primary task!"
Andrew gasped.
Dealing with a mere Chu Zihang was already difficult enough, but now they have to add Lin Chen and Angers to the mix.
One of them is the former president of the Lionheart Society of the Academy, a man who personally killed the Dragon King!
The other is Angers, a unique existence in the history of mixed races, a vengeful god with a heart full of killing intent!
Neither of them is easy to deal with.
Andrew was already fantasizing that he would be on his return flight, passing over a certain sea area, and then suffer some kind of inhuman revenge!
“You know what to do. If you can’t, then don’t come back!” Frost gave a firm order.
"Understood!" Andrew quickly replied. "Secretary Percy has given all these instructions beforehand, and I will certainly do it!"
Frost waved his hand: "I didn't come to see you for that. Compared to getting rid of Chu Zihang and impeaching Angers, there is a more urgent matter right now!"
"Master, please give your orders!"
“Chen Motong!” Frost said. “Do you know her?”
"I've heard of him, his nickname is Nono, right? The young master used to have a crush on him, it's just a pity..." Andrew was flustered.
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity she still chose Lin Chen!"
"It's Lin Chen again!" Frost gritted his teeth. "Is he and Nono very close??"
Andrew thought for a moment and said, "This Nono has a nickname at Kassel College, it's called... Sister-in-law!!"
"Sister-in-law?"
“Because Lin Chen is the eldest brother,” Andrew said cautiously. “He treats his subordinates very well, so the members of the Lionheart Society respect him a lot, and the girls around him are naturally called ‘Sister-in-law’!”
"That's not what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to ask what exactly happened between Nuonuo and Lin Chen."
Andrew scratched his head: "It's very simple. Nuonuo is Lin Chen's girl! At this age, a boy and a girl, I guess they're either dating or sleeping together—but speaking of which, why are you interested in this, Patriarch?"
Frost said solemnly, "After deliberation by the family elders, it has been decided that Chen Motong is the most suitable girl for Caesar, and she should become Caesar's bride!"
"This is a bit tricky, Nono definitely won't agree..." Andrew analyzed, "Forced marriage by kidnapping isn't popular anymore!"
“If it were that easy, we wouldn’t need you!” Frost said. “If you have the chance, talk to Nono for me.”
"Ask her if she'd be willing to become the young mistress of the Gattuso family?"
"That's probably what it means!"
"Wouldn't that be too abrupt? What if they don't agree?"
"Caesar is the future emperor we're grooming. He's incredibly charismatic; every girl should like someone like him."
"Master, you may have misheard me. I asked what if Nono doesn't like Caesar?"
"How could that be? That's Caesar!"
Andrew was speechless: "Master, just how confident are you in Caesar?!"
Frost continued, "In short, Caesar will attract her, and all you have to do is help Caesar."
“I know, wingman!” An5.4 Lu said, “But should we reconsider? Choosing a young wife for the family only to end up stealing someone else’s girl would have a bad reputation if word got out!”
Frost shook his head: "The family's reputation has already been greatly affected. We can't worry about that now. Choosing a bride for Caesar is more important!"
Andrew had no choice: "Then I have one last question."
"ask."
What if Lin Chen is unwilling?
"Even if Angers is unwilling, we have to do as they say!"
Andrew was almost in tears: "If it were Angers, it would be easier to handle; he would restrain himself for the sake of the school board. But Lin Chen is different; he really will kill!"
“This…” Frost gritted his teeth, “If we encounter obstacles, we should avoid confrontation for now and wait for Percy to return before making any decisions!”
211: Caesar, are you lonely? Family rumors!
Not long after hanging up the phone with Frost, Andrew quietly slipped out of the room.
The Norton House was eerily quiet late at night; it was usually not occupied by many people.
Caesar serves as the student council president and lives here regularly.
The investigation team arrived at Kassel College and was taken to the Ampor House by Caesar.
Andrew followed the corridor and soon arrived at Caesar's room.
After a few light knocks, Caesar, dressed in his pajamas, opened the door.
"Andrew? Is something the matter?"
Andrew quickly stood up straight: "Young Master, I hope I didn't disturb your rest!"
Caesar's expression was cold: "If it were still before midnight, you could certainly ask that, but it's one in the morning now. Do you think this is disturbing you?"
"I'm sorry, young master!" Andrew said awkwardly, rubbing his hands. "May I come in?"
“You’ve already been quite a nuisance,” Caesar said. “Do you want to be even more inconvenient?”
“Uh, no…” Andrew looked flustered. “It’s the acting head of the family who gave the order.”
Caesar nodded 17: "Frost? Come in!"
The two sat down on the sofa, and Caesar poured himself a glass of ice water: "Go on, tell me."
Andrew sat up straight and placed his hands on his knees.
This wasn't because he was nervous about facing the heir to the family headship, but because the topic he was about to discuss was a bit sensitive.
“Young Master…” Andrew said cautiously, “I’m so sorry to bother you so late, but I may have to talk to you about a… sensitive topic.”
Caesar was taken aback: "I didn't realize you were such a closet pervert."
