Angers

Returning to the camp, Lu Mingfei saw a group of men in black patrolling the perimeter with weapons; this must be the support Chu Zihang had mentioned.

Lu Mingfei walked over, and the guards did not stop him. Their team leader had already notified them that if a handsome young man in a black coat carrying a blade arrived, they were to let him pass immediately.

Inside, Lu Mingfei found a tall man giving instructions to Chu Zihang.

"Specialist Chu, you are only a freshman. In this situation, you should have waited for support to arrive. It's fortunate you're unharmed this time, otherwise..." Lin Yang stopped mid-sentence upon seeing Lu Mingfei.

Chu Zihang listened to the man's nagging with an expressionless face, but seeing him suddenly stop and look aside, Chu Zihang also turned to look at Lu Mingfei.

Lin Yang stared at Lu Mingfei. According to Chu Zihang's description, it was he who had wiped out the swarm of Dead Servant and saved everyone; his combat power was nothing short of terrifying.

After notifying Kassel College and receiving the latest intelligence, they learned that Lu Mingfei was someone the college had been monitoring all along. From birth until now, everyone had always claimed he was an ordinary person; no one had ever discovered Lu Mingfei's awakening.

Those people monitoring Lu Mingfei were truly incompetent!

Although Lin Yang thought this, he still reached out a hand toward Lu Mingfei: "Hello, I am Lin Yang, the team leader for this operation."

"Hello, I am Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei shook his hand.

"Thank you for your help. If not for you, Chu Zihang and these students might not have survived. May I ask for the intelligence you possess regarding the organization that produces the Evolution Drug?"

"What reason do I have to trust you?"

Although Jiu De Mai had said that the organization behind Chu Zihang would smooth things over, some questions still needed to be asked.

Lin Yang took a laptop out of an equipment case and opened a communication feed.

The screen lit up, revealing an elderly man in a suit with handsome features and silver hair—he looked a bit flamboyant, perhaps?

"Hello Mingfei, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself: I am Angers, the principal of Kassel College. Well, to put it simply, I am the boss of the people standing in front of you." Angers looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile.

"Oh, and how does that relate to why I should trust you?" Lu Mingfei stared at Angers and asked.

"Because your parents are also members of our Secret Party."

Angers produced several photographs and showed them to Lu Mingfei one by one: there was a photo of his father, Lu Lincheng, surfing, a photo of his mother, Qiaoweini, laughing at the gates of Kassel, and several group photos of his parents together.

Only now did Lu Mingfei look somewhat surprised. Was this his parents' youth? So the archaeology his parents spoke of was actually performing missions for this mysterious organization?

"Your parents were excellent talents and elites of our Secret Party. Can you trust us now?" Angers asked.

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Mingfei nodded.

After chatting for a few moments, Angers finally bid Lu Mingfei farewell.

Once the screen went dark, Lu Mingfei told Lin Yang the location of the base belonging to the organization that manufactured the Evolution Drug.

Lin Yang immediately dispatched men to clear it out.

"Senior Brother Chu, where is that young girl?" Lu Mingfei scanned the surroundings, not seeing the girl who had fought alongside him earlier.

"She left after the support from Kassel College arrived," Chu Zihang replied.

"That's a pity; I wanted to make a friend," Lu Mingfei said with a hint of regret.

Lin Yang asked Lu Mingfei again: "Can you dispel this Alchemical Matrix? Our medical team cannot get inside."

"I can."

Lu Mingfei walked to the barrier and dispelled it. The medical team, which had been waiting for a long time, swarmed in, preparing to examine and treat the injured students.

However, everyone inside the barrier watched them with vigilance, as these medical personnel were all burly men in suits, none of whom looked any less imposing than Arnold Schwarzenegger.

They then looked at Lu Mingfei with pleading eyes; he was the only one they trusted now.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei had to step forward to explain: "They are official personnel. Everyone, don't worry; just receive your treatment. After the treatment, everyone will be sent home safely."

Reassured by Lu Mingfei, the students in the class calmed down.

Only then was the medical team able to proceed with the treatment. If nothing else, although these medical staff were all hulking men, their methods of rescue were unexpectedly gentle.

As the treatment progressed, Su Xiaoqiang walked quickly to Lu Mingfei's side and asked with concern: "You aren't hurt, are you?"

After Lu Mingfei left, Su Xiaoqiang had been worried about his safety, terrified that he might encounter some danger.

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang's concerned expression and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm not hurt. I can handle a small scene like this."

"Really?" Su Xiaoqiang asked skeptically. "Take off your jacket and let me see. I've watched many TV dramas where the male lead suffers heavy injuries after a big battle, but when he returns, he always says he's fine."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoqiang's hand moved toward Lu Mingfei's abdomen; she could feel his abdominal muscles, which were slightly warm.

"Mm." Su Xiaoqiang's face flushed slightly.

After a brief hesitation, she continued to lift Lu Mingfei's shirt.

Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang really intended to take his shirt off, Lu Mingfei felt a headache coming on.

He pressed his hand onto Su Xiaoqiang's head and ruffled her hair vigorously: "Watch fewer of those dramas. I am not some tragic male lead."

"I was just worried about you!" Su Xiaoqiang withdrew her hand, lowering her head and letting him ruffle her hair.

Looking down at the ground, that sense of security returned.

"Lu Mingfei, come here for a second. I have something to tell you," Chu Zihang said as he walked to Lu Mingfei's side.

"Sure." Lu Mingfei pulled his hand back: "You stay here for a moment; I'm going over with Senior Brother Chu."

"Alright."

After Lu Mingfei stopped rubbing her shoulders, Su Xiaoqiang felt a slight sense of loss.

Without thinking too much about it, Lu Mingfei followed Chu Zihang to a secluded spot.

At this moment, Chu Zihang spoke up.

"I called you over to tell you that the existence of Half-Blood must not be known to ordinary people. After the treatment later, our professionals will hypnotize and brainwash your classmates. Once brainwashed, they will forget that they saw a Dead Servant today."

"Are there any side effects? Will they completely forget the experience of tonight?" Lu Mingfei frowned.

"There are no side effects. We only perform mild hypnosis. The memories of tonight will be replaced with others, such as the attackers being a pack of wolves instead of a Dead Servant," Chu Zihang explained.

"Besides, for ordinary people, forgetting tonight is also a form of protection."

"Must ordinary people forget?" Lu Mingfei stared into Chu Zihang's eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Zihang nodded: "This is the rule of the Half-Blood society, unless they are specialized logistics personnel. But even for our logistics personnel, the minimum standard is at the level of the Marine Corps."

Lu Mingfei looked toward Su Xiaoqiang in the distance, then smiled and said to Chu Zihang: "I understand."
