He sat sideways outside the helicopter cabin, neither happy nor sad. His short, neat buzz cut made him look very capable.
No one could disagree with him, because he had an impressive track record.
Victoria and Gonzalez both fell silent at this point. Victoria even glanced back at the Lionheart Society president, waved to him, and then took out a sniper rifle from her bag and began assembling it.
……
At the dining table in the old palace, Lu Mingfei and Neo the boar clinked glasses a few times and drank a few mouthfuls of wine.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere between the two became more harmonious, and the initial tension and life-or-death struggle disappeared.
Neo the Boar indicated that he doesn't necessarily want to fight the Academy to the death, and it seems there are still conditions to negotiate.
Lu Mingfei also produced the academy's pardon, indicating that he could indeed be sent to the Pacific Ocean to see the sea, and even see whales every year. After a while, he would suggest connecting the Pacific Ocean to 4G network, at which point playing games and surfing the internet would not be impossible.
"I'm not really ambitious. Since the academy needs my help, I'll definitely cooperate." Neo the Pig took a sip of red wine and gave the girls around him a wink.
Immediately, two graceful dancers sat on Lu Mingfei's laps, one on each side, their hands caressing his chest.
"No, no, no!" Lu Mingfei said with a look of 'Tang Sanzang rejecting a female demon,' "If the disciplinary committee finds out about this, I'll be expelled."
Neo the boar said, "I know the rules of the Academy. People from the Underworld can't interfere in matters of the Outer World. I've told you everything about Masamune Tachibana. Whether the police arrest me or not is none of your business."
“This matter is actually negotiable, and we’ve already given you the pardon,” Lu Mingfei said, looking at him. “However, besides Tachibana Masamune’s trading network, we are also interested in a guy named ‘Hercules.’”
Neo the pig froze for a moment.
He is Hercules, the mighty god.
“Junior brother, my bloodline is only B-grade. Asking me to go find him is like sending me to my death.” Neo the boar said with his eyebrows lowered. “He hasn’t appeared since the Tokyo incident. Maybe he was scared and is hiding in some mountain herding sheep. Let him fend for himself.”
“This is someone that Tachibana Masamune would consider a powerful ally. We at the academy aren’t comfortable letting someone like that wander around outside,” Lu Mingfei said, staring at him.
Neo the pig knew that the other party had already seen through his identity, and he could no longer hide it.
“Since my junior brother has given me this opportunity, I will certainly do as he says.” Neo the Pig raised his glass to toast Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei also picked up his wine glass.
The two clinked glasses, but Neo the Pig deliberately used too much force, breaking the glass.
"Using a broken cup as a signal, do they think they're filming 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'?" Gu Ran rolled his eyes as he watched from the helicopter and couldn't help but complain.
The moment the cup was shattered, sure enough, the people that Neo the Pig had been lying in ambush sprang into action. Two dancers grabbed Lu Mingfei tightly, while the barbecue chef behind Lu Mingfei picked up a knife and kicked the stool he was sitting on to pieces.
The beautiful women used their legs to restrain Lu Mingfei's movements, while the musicians took out guns from various places and spread out around the rooftop, blocking Lu Mingfei's path.
The chef wanted to finish off Lu Mingfei, but was stopped by Neo the Boar. He clearly didn't want things to get too tense or provoke the student council president to rebel.
He knew that the student council president was capable of more than just this, so he still wanted to resolve the matter through negotiation.
"There's no need to fight, senior brother. We can still talk." Lu Mingfei's neck was being pressed against a thigh, offering no enjoyment whatsoever. His lower body was only bothered by the pungent body odor of these South American women, especially with their sweat; the smell was truly...
“I’m sorry, junior brother, but you’re my hostage now.” Neo the Pig shook his head. “I know the academy won’t give me a chance to negotiate. Those old guys taught me the law of the jungle and the supremacy of bloodlines. You’re the student council president, so you’re definitely their darling, while I’m just trash. Why are you giving trash any leeway?”
"Everyone's been through the wringer, so don't say that..." Lu Mingfei muttered.
The poor student council president was struggling to breathe under the weight of the girls' thighs. It wasn't that he lost to their beauty, but rather that he realized these girls were just ordinary people, and if he were to fight back, he would probably break their bones.
Every student council has had its share of bad habits, one of which is never to hit women. Caesar was like that, and so was Lu Mingfei.
Gu Ran had no such reservations and directly ordered through the earpiece: "Sniper, attack, eliminate all unnecessary personnel."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless fireworks rose around the old palace, as if it were a grand ceremony.
At the same time, stun grenades were launched from grenade launchers and landed around the rooftop of the old palace.
Upon seeing the aftershocks of the stun grenades, Neo the Pig immediately realized: "They're here. I knew it wouldn't be this simple... Move! Move now!"
But it is already late.
Victoria's sniper rifle fired at the gunmen immediately, and at the same time, other snipers also opened fire, taking out the thugs who were blocking Lu Mingfei's retreat.
At the same time, the academy's commandos also moved out and arrived around the Old Palace Long Street, disarming all of Neo the Boar's men and pinning them to the ground.
While Lu Mingfei was being 'entangled' by the beauties, he took advantage of their momentary surprise and escaped from their noose with the grace of a dragon. He also disarmed Neo the boar who was trying to draw his gun and shoved the cigar he was smoking into his mouth.
The chef who originally intended to finish off Lu Mingfei stepped forward to deliver the final blow. He was a mixed-race individual with exceptional knife skills, and was Neo the most skilled knife-wielder under the boar's command.
But Lu Mingfei is a combat machine created by the academy at great expense.
The moment he saw the chef's knife flash, Lu Mingfei reacted and used a small grappling technique to lock the chef in a joint lock, dislocating both of his shoulders.
Meanwhile, he continued to charge into the gunmen's ranks. Lu Mingfei's fighting skills were diverse. He could flexibly apply various combat techniques, such as Wing Chun's Eight-Cut Sword, Muay Thai, Springing Leg, and Bajiquan, just like a hero in a game with many skills. He could seamlessly connect the skills without any casting delay.
In less than a minute, the last people standing on the rooftop were Lu Mingfei and Boar Neo.
"Ricardo-san, all the surrounding areas have been cleared. I've arranged for the assault team to clean up the battlefield. Only the mini-boss is left. Let's go get some late-night snacks after we're done," Gu Ran said to Lu Mingfei through the headset.
Lu Mingfei looked at Neo the boar.
Neo the boar also looked at Lu Mingfei. So many years have passed, and although the current student council president has become very talkative, with more saliva than tea, he is still a qualified suit-wearing thug.
Having been away from the academy for so many years, on this day, he finally remembered the fear of being dominated by that academy.
Once this academy decides to crush you, you'll have nowhere to run.
"Can we continue discussing terms? We're all in the same boat, I won't leave you with no way out." Lu Mingfei clapped his hands, exuding the composure of a victor.
But Neo the Pig became hysterical: "Don't give me that crap. I know the rules of the academy. You never negotiate with anyone. You consider yourselves to be the ones who wield the sword, the ones who control the rules. You are always righteous, you are only punishers... What bullshit about being like them! What bullshit about the sorrow of blood! You are like them only when you are useful to them. Once you lose your value, you are a criminal, you are trash!"
"Come on! It was you who didn't negotiate with me, okay? We were having a good chat," Lu Mingfei said, somewhat speechless. Why was this person accusing me first?
He continued, "If you want to fight, I'll just have to go along with it."
"The one in a superior position can always negotiate, but the other party may have already retreated to the edge of a cliff." Neo the pig calmed down and slowly stood up straight.
"Want to risk your life?" Lu Mingfei shook his head. "Not to brag, but my expertise in risking my life is..."
He stared intently at the ampoule in Neo's hand. The liquid inside was black, yet it shimmered with a rainbow-like glow, a subtle light that seemed strangely familiar.
"It's swan blood, the gene serum Herzog left him. I told him not to waste words with him." Gu Ran's voice came through the earpiece.
Lu Mingfei was fully aware of the situation and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Neo the pig had already crushed the ampoule and poured the liquid inside down his throat. At the same time, ancient dragon script chants rang out, and Neo's muscles began to swell, his clothes were completely torn apart, just like the Hulk transforming.
Neo the boar howled in pain as he grew taller at a visible rate, transforming from a scrawny, skinny monkey into a muscular giant ape with a dark golden metallic sheen flowing across his hardened skin.
Word of Power: Bronze Throne, the pinnacle of physical enhancement. The holder's body is temporarily strengthened to the level of a pure-blooded dragon, with power strong enough to tear apart steel.
"Attention all units, Neo the Boar's bloodline continues to rise," EVA's voice came through the headset, "Mission rating revised to 'A+'!"
"Gu Ran, you lead the assault team to suppress the target with firepower." EVA took over the mission at this time; it could take over command of the mission when necessary.
"He has transformed. You know best what the Word of Power: Bronze Throne is like, EVA. Bullet suppression is useless against him."
Chapter 624 The Free Boar
Gu Ran expressed a different opinion from EVA: "Moreover, the assault team is carrying Frigga bullets in order to subdue the gang. We should evacuate the surrounding crowd first. Let Lu Mingfei handle this first, and the assault team can switch to live ammunition and form a second line of defense."
"Agreed. All units shall execute Gu Ran's orders." EVA returned command to Gu Ran.
"Victoria, switch your sniper rifle to live ammunition, aim at Neo the Boar. If he escapes the encirclement, taunt him with bullets and make him chase you," Gu Ran ordered.
"Yes."
Victoria is holding an SDM-R rifle, an improved version of the M16, also known as a precision rifle, which combines the precision of a sniper rifle with the firepower of an assault rifle.
……
Lu Mingfei watched Neo the Boar transform quietly: "So you're Hercules, the mighty god?"
"You knew all along, that's why you've been testing me, isn't it?"
Lu Mingfei nodded: "It's not hard to guess. Tachibana Masamune sent a private plane to pick you up because you don't have a passport."
"Yes, when you drove me out of the mountain campus, you didn't even leave me with any memories!" Neo the Boar roared.
“But I really do have a pardon,” Lu Mingfei said. “Let’s sit down and have a good talk now, it’s not too late.”
"It's too late. It was too late from the very beginning. And who wants to be imprisoned on a Pacific island? I want to be a free boar!"
Neo the boar spread his arms, looked up at the sky, his bloodline rising steadily, and then glared angrily at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei kicked a barbecue grill at him, and the charcoal fire left smoke on his body, but he still felt the heat.
Neo the boar charged at Lu Mingfei. The person with the Bronze Throne did not need complicated fighting skills. His body was the most ferocious war chariot, which could rampage.
Lu Mingfei stabbed Neo the boar in the chest with a meat cleaver, but Neo snapped the cleaver against it without even breaking the skin.
Neo the boar struck Lu Mingfei squarely in the chest, as if he had been hit by a giant swing.
Lu Mingfei was sent flying backward, crashing into two walls before finally falling into a dark elevator shaft.
"Damn it, they turned on me like that!" Lu Mingfei cursed under his breath.
While Neo the Pig possesses a bronze throne and is naturally incredibly resilient, Lu Mingfei's incredible durability surprised Neo the Pig.
"Damn it, why isn't Gu Ran here yet? He should have come to support me after we withdrew the others!" Lu Mingfei patted his earphones. "Where is he?!"
Upon hearing Lu Mingfei's shouts, Neo the Pig coldly uttered a Portuguese word: "Detonar!"
After saying that, Neo the pig jumped out of the Old Palace and onto the outside of the long street.
A moment later, Lu Mingfei climbed out of the elevator shaft and walked out of the front door of the old palace. He was holding a bottle of tequila in his hand, and he opened the bottle and poured the liquor on his arm to disinfect it.
In the past, such an injury would have brought him to tears, but now he's used to it and doesn't feel any pain at all.
He tapped his earpiece: "EVA, can you hear me? What did that guy just say to me? Was he insulting me?"
EVA told him that Detonar means "detonation" in Portuguese, and that Neo the Boar must have planted the bomb in the Old Palace.
Lu Mingfei was terrified and questioned EVA, who spoke as if the thing was just a firecracker!
EVA said that according to the records, Lu Mingfei had taken introductory Portuguese, and it thought he understood it but just wanted to maintain his composure in the face of danger.
As Lu Mingfei ran away from the old palace, he complained, "Isn't it common sense that elective courses are just for getting credits?"
EVA said that if she couldn't even understand such simple words, she would have to go back and check the test paper to see if Lu Mingfei had cheated.
……
The blast wave overturned everything around it, and the centuries-old palace was reduced to ruins in the flames.
Neo the boar emerged from the long street, seemingly trying to determine the direction of the escape.
