Dragon Clan: Starting from obtaining Yaki, counterattack against the gods
Chapter 370 Escape
Chapter 370 Escape
As night fell, Caesar finally arrived at the city center from the remote old town. Looking around, he saw bright lights and tall buildings everywhere. This was undoubtedly a very prosperous city.
It’s just after get off work and the street is bustling. The charming proprietress stands at the door and greets regular customers. Various small stalls form a bustling snack street, and the aroma of barbecue and stir-fry fills the street.
The man flared his nostrils and breathed in the warm smell of the street and felt that he had returned to the world of the living.
He was smuggled into China in a container because the old guys in the family seemed to want to conceal his whereabouts. He didn’t even know he was being shipped to China until he escaped from the old house.
For a nobleman like him, the bad experience along the way was also a rare experience. He had never suffered such a big setback in his life, and this setback came from his family.
Caesar never knew that his family had close ties with the Chen family, and that the Chen family could even be considered a vassal family of the Gattuso family. On the way here, he heard some people’s conversations, and it seemed that the purpose of his being transported here was actually… breeding?
This is too ridiculous, so ridiculous that even someone like Caesar, who has seen a lot of ups and downs, finds it outrageous. He thought his family was a bunch of assholes, but he never expected them to be so assholes.
What’s going on? Is it because his stud father is on strike and wants to train him to be a new stud?
He had vaguely come into contact with the truth of the matter. Chen Motong was the bride carefully selected for him by his family, and he really fell in love with Chen Motong, love at first sight.
But to be precise, he fell in love with the look that Chen Motong had specially prepared for him at first sight. If everything went according to plan, they should get married after graduation, and it would be natural for them to have the fruit of their love.
When Frost was still alive, he told Caesar more than once that he was the person the family had been waiting for hundreds of years and was the family’s undisputed leader.
Caesar was very confused at one point. He felt that his abilities were not outstanding and his bloodline was not top-notch. It was not until now that he realized that what the family was waiting for was not him, but his child.
He is the child of Chen Motong. Others’ mothers are honored because of their sons, but he is honored because of his son. That’s why the Gattuso family attaches so much importance to him and protects him like the apple of their eye.
Now the plan has gone wrong. Not only is he not with Chen Motong, he also knows the truth of everything. It would be impossible for him to cooperate. He is essentially an extremely rebellious person, and has been like that since he was a child.
So he chose to betray the family together with Pompey, and provided a lot of information about Gattuso to the Eight Snake Families, striving to destroy the family in one fell swoop. This was a revenge from them father and son, and the family was indeed traumatized.
But with so many years of foundation, it was still very difficult to destroy it directly. All the forces in the open were just moved underground. It was only after Caesar was arrested that he realized for the first time that even he, the heir, had underestimated his family before.
This behemoth is terrifying beyond imagination, and what is shown is just the tip of the iceberg. Its true strength far exceeds that of all mixed-blood families.
At least Caesar had no ability to resist at all. He was arranged like a piece of cargo, but he was not a man who would easily accept his fate. He was accumulating strength along the way, and then he would attack decisively when he saw an opportunity. He was lucky and successfully escaped.
But he had no idea what to do next. He just wanted to get in touch with Kassel Academy as soon as possible and return to the protection of Yuan Zhinv before being caught. Although it sounded a bit hopeless, it was the only correct solution at the moment.
His previous pride of relying on himself for everything finally subsided in the face of cruel reality. After seeing the strength of his family, he clearly understood that he could not resist on his own. If there was anyone else in the world who could fight, he could not think of a second person except Minamoto Chitose.
However, admitting his failure and admitting that he was inferior to others was still a heavy blow to a man as proud as Caesar.
The only thing that made him feel better was probably that the person he was inferior to was Genjitsu. This person not only surpassed him, but had even surpassed humans to reach the realm of gods. It was not shameful to lose to her.
While Caesar was thinking deeply, Chen Wenwen was also quietly observing him. He was undoubtedly a very disheveled man, with black and gray all over his neck and face, and his hair was dirty and stuck together in pieces. His only eyes were a pair of sea-blue eyes, bright and clear, like expensive gems.
After this short time together, Chen Wenwen also felt that this boy of the same age as her had no ill intentions and did not look like a bad person.
Moreover, the man had a good sense of propriety in his interactions with others. He was simply a well-mannered gentleman. His words and actions revealed a nobility and politeness that could not be concealed by his disheveled appearance, as if he was just a noble who was temporarily in trouble, or a prince who had fallen into the world.
This was also one of the reasons why she was willing to take him away.
“You’ve already escaped, can you let me go?” Chen Wenwen said softly, “I won’t tell anyone that I’ve seen you, don’t worry.”
She was a very smart girl. She vaguely sensed the crisis in this matter and wisely chose not to get involved. No matter whether this man was a nobleman in distress or a fugitive on the run, she didn’t want to interfere.
Reason told her that the danger here might be far beyond her imagination.
Caesar nodded: “Of course, I will keep my promise, you can leave now.”
After he finished speaking, he looked hesitant, as if he wanted to speak but was a little embarrassed. Seeing that Chen Wenwen didn’t show any reluctance and turned around to leave, he had no choice but to speak.
“Ah, that…”
He hesitated to speak, Chen Wenwen was a little helpless, but she still turned back patiently and asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
“Can you lend me some money?” Caesar blushed a little. As a nobleman, the thing he had the most in his life was money. He didn’t spend money like water since he was a child, but he was indeed very free and easy. This was the first time he asked a girl to borrow money, and he felt extremely ashamed.
But he had no choice. In this completely unfamiliar country and city, he was currently an illegal resident and could hardly take a single step without money.
As if he was afraid that the girl might misunderstand him, Caesar quickly explained: “When I get out of this predicament, I will pay you back double… no, five times! I’m not a liar. If you don’t believe me, I can write you an IOU!”
He actually wanted to use a valuable item as collateral, but he had nothing on his body except that tattered piece of clothing. It was indeed miserable for him to end up in such a state.
Chen Wenwen sighed and said helplessly, “I don’t have much change on me, so I probably can’t help you.”
She hesitated for a moment, then took out the little cash she had in her wallet and gave it to Caesar. She said, “You don’t have to pay me back, and you don’t have to write an IOU. Just don’t tell me you’ve met me.”
Caesar was very moved and repeatedly assured her that he would never drag her down. Chen Wenwen could finally leave. She felt that all this was too dreamy and she felt like she was dreaming.
She didn’t know whether she should go to the old house or go back to school. She just wanted to leave this man as soon as possible. She was so distracted that she made a mistake.
Because she was afraid of being seen with the man by others and being recorded by cameras, she always took more remote routes and did not dare to take a taxi. Now that they have finally separated, all she wants is to get away from the man as quickly as possible, so she still takes the remote path.
There are dilapidated houses everywhere, as if everyone has moved away, or as if the development has not started yet, there are almost no people, the bustling streets in the distance seem to be something from another world, and this is a dark corner of the city. But in the dark corners, it is easy for some rats to roam around.
Turning a corner, several people appeared in front of her. They were a group of men dressed in uniform. Chen Wenwen had seen this kind of attire before. At the door of the so-called old house, the servants were dressed like this.
She immediately realized something and turned around to run back, but when she looked back, she saw a few more men behind her.
She was surrounded.
At the same time, Caesar, who was leaving in another direction, was thinking about how to get in touch with the school.
He was very unfamiliar with this city, and he didn’t know if there was a safe haven for Kassel College. The safe haven was not a real port, but a secret transit station.
The college has set up hundreds of safe havens around the world and paid local people to manage them. Sometimes the safe havens are used to transfer certain unspeakable goods, but more often they are idle. If the commissioners encounter danger while operating abroad, they can go to the safe haven for refuge.
Safe Harbor will buy the Commissioner valuable time, during which time Norma will mobilize resources to organize a rescue.
But unfortunately, Caesar came in a hurry and didn’t know that his final destination was here, so he didn’t memorize the location of the safe harbor in advance. However, the principle is the same. He only needs to contact the academy and doesn’t necessarily have to go to the safe harbor.
Caesar thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go into a small Internet cafe on the side of the road.
This reflects the benefits of China, which is very inclusive. He was obviously a down-and-out homeless man and could not produce his ID card, but the network administrator did not make things difficult for him. After listening to his difficulties in fluent Chinese, he still allocated a machine to him.
Caesar looked at the smoky air in the Internet cafe and the young men who were concentrating on playing games in front of their computers, and felt that his life experience value had increased again.
Before, he knew nothing about Internet cafes and did not understand why there should be a dedicated place for Internet access. In his opinion, one can access the Internet anytime and anywhere.
He can surf the Internet while walking barefoot on the beach, basking in the Florida sunshine, or riding an elephant through the Thai rainforest. Of course, he can also surf the Internet in his own surfing bathtub and browse the gossip in the Night Watch discussion area. All he needs is an iPhone, iPad, or laptop.
But now he is very grateful for such a place where he can go online as long as he pays, and they won’t check his identity, and they won’t care who he is or what he does.
Caesar knew Norma’s abilities. As long as he logged into the official website of Kassel College anywhere, he could get in touch with Norma. In the world of the Internet, that artificial intelligence was simply invincible.
The machine he was assigned was in the corner. He walked in in the direction indicated by the network administrator and saw people of all kinds. If it were in the past, he would observe them carefully and treat it as a novel experience.
But now all he has eyes for is the computer and the desire to be rescued. He doesn’t want to be a stud at all, not at all!
He almost couldn’t wait to rush to the computer. The few seconds of booting up seemed to last an eternity. When he finally heard the boot-up sound, the simple music sounded like heavenly music to his ears.
He immediately became proficient in the operation, inputting the URL on the keyboard, logging in with the username “Caesar”, and then entering a password that changed with the date plus various security authentications. As soon as he hit the Enter key, the interface refreshed from a normal page to the “Kassel College Specialist Action Report”.
The dark green interface and the thin frame with simple lines are the common pictures that one sees every time he reports on a mission. However, Caesar almost feels like he is about to burst into tears, as if he sees the hope of being rescued.
What made him even more excited was that almost the moment he landed, he received new news from Kassel College.
Caesar never felt that Norma was so kind. He particularly disliked nagging women. He once criticized Norma’s character setting in the Night Watch discussion area, saying that she was like a “pampered middle-aged white woman.”
But if there really was a person named Norma standing in front of him at this moment, he would definitely hug this middle-aged white woman and kiss her on the cheek without hesitation.
Returning to Norma’s protection meant so many things. He received support from the intelligence system, was able to withdraw cash from the college account, and was even able to temporarily borrow a helicopter to take him out of the Chinese border.
The commissioner is invincible when connected, because Norma always stands behind him. It doesn’t matter if he is shot and bleeding. As long as he calls for help from Norma, he will see a rescue helicopter descending from the sky in a few minutes.
“Caesar: I need rescue. I was brought here by the Gattuso family. There are people chasing me.”
“Eva: Received, your location has been located, rescue begins.”
“Caesar: I need a helicopter, a cell phone that is not monitored, credit cards and 30,000 RMB in cash.”
“Eva: According to China’s air traffic control regulations, aircraft movements will be recorded. I have sent a car to pick you up. It is expected to arrive in 10 minutes. Your location is quite dangerous right now. Please wait patiently and do not go out. The things you requested are all in that car. It will escort you to a safe place.”
Caesar still didn’t understand why this place was so dangerous, but he didn’t need to understand because he could escape soon. This time he had learned his lesson and would stay in Kassel College obediently and would not come out until the crisis was resolved.
This kind of battle between gods is no longer something a mortal like him can participate in. He now just wants to stay alive honestly, and at most launch a few rockets when the Gattuso family is besieged.
However, at this moment, the account he logged into suddenly received a new message, not from the college, nor from Norma, but from a completely unfamiliar account.
The information was very simple, just a photo of a girl tied up on the ground, her beautiful big eyes full of fear.
Caesar was stunned; he recognized the girl immediately.
It was the girl who helped him.
Before he could respond, the strange account sent another message with only a location and a simple sentence:
——I know you are nearby. If I don’t see you at this location within 5 minutes, I will kill her.
