Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 572: Meeting (3)

Finkel began to talk about the entire mission. After the matter in Japan was over, Flamel asked him to stay in the Sheqi Eight Families to help them build a new system.

After Flamel returned to the academy, he secretly sent an email to Finkel, which said: Don't go back to the academy, don't go back to the academy no matter what. If there is any abnormal situation in the academy, go find Lu Mingfei and protect him.

"Here's what happened. I made a deal with Ryoma Genichirō. The Japanese aren't very honest. I helped add a few more firewalls to Kaguya 2.0, and he played blind and let me escape."

"As for me, I'm still good at running away."

Finkel blinked and picked at the little bit of pasta left on the plate.

He smiled a little foolishly and continued the story before anyone had time to wonder.

"I was originally planning to give up and go back to the academy. What crime could I be convicted of? Nothing. I don't want to get involved in this mess, and no one can force me to do it."

"But suddenly one day, someone called me and said he was waiting for me in the Greenland Sea and wanted to give me an answer."

"So I spent all my money on a boat ticket to the Arctic. It was a good deal. It would go around the Greenland Sea back to Russia."

"I called Chen Runxi here to help. I don't have many friends." Finkel looked at Chu Zihang and smiled casually, "You and Lu Mingfei are both missing, and I don't want to disturb Caesar, so I only have this loyal little brother left."

"I asked him if he was coming, but he didn't even ask about the destination. He just packed his bags and came to see me. It's likely that he will be punished after he returns. I'm not a very competent boss."

Chen Runxi sat at the side, his eyes rolling around, scratching his head and rubbing his cheeks, and said, "Boss, what are you talking about? I'm already bored staying in the academy."

This kind of thing is like when your best friend says to you when you are most bored: Come out and play, why are you staying in school?

Don't worry about what to play, just take the money and climb over the wall to leave that night.

It could be surfing the Internet, or something else, as long as I am not in the college and just stay with my brothers.

"Who called you?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Prince." Finkel laughed a few times and then stopped laughing. "Remember? The one who posted the White King's information on the bounty website in Japan."

"Remember. Do you know him?" Chu Zihang asked again.

Finkel puffed up his chest and shrank his body like a wild dog. He looked aggrieved, but in fact he was ready to bite someone to death at any time.

"What the hell do I know him..." He said, "If I knew him, I would have killed him long ago."

"So as soon as he called, you set off without stopping." Susie said in confusion.

"Because he is my enemy." Finkel looked at Chu Tianjiao, "Uncle, do you have any cigarettes? Cigars are best."

"Yes." Chu Tianjiao handed the cigar to Finkel.

Finkel took it in his hand and played with it for a while, and like a professional treasure appraiser seeing a treasure, he commented: "Good stuff."

He lit up his cigar and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. His posture didn't look like that of a loser at all.

A cigar swept away the vulgarity and decadence in him, leaving behind the temperament and loneliness unique to a nobleman.

There were still quite a lot of people in the restaurant, but he still felt lonely.

"I once participated in the Greenland Sea operation. It was caused by a guy named 'Prince' who posted information about dragon eggs on a bounty website. Chu Zihang, you are Professor Schneider's student. Professor Schneider should have mentioned that operation to you."

"No." Chu Zihang shook his head.

Finkel patted Chen Runxi on the back and said, "You explain to them. I've already said it once today and I don't want to say it a second time. I'm going to go out for some fresh air. If you have any questions, just ask Chen Runxi."

The footsteps of leaving are light, but the person is heavy.

Finkel walked to the deck and found that the ship he had been on had fallen behind.

There is a patch of ice ahead, and it seems that the little guy wants the big guy to clear the way.

It wasn't dark yet, but it wasn't bright either, and it was dim with a hint of blue.

Old Bunin and the other three were on the deck, doing nothing but these unimportant things.

Finkel just watched silently. He suddenly wanted to talk to Vincent von Ludwig about the Führer. In fact, he was very knowledgeable about German history.

Let’s talk about the 500,000-mark loaf of bread and what kind of era that was.

We are still far away from our destination, so there is no need to vent our hatred. It would be better to be happy.

This is just Finkel's personality. No matter if he is pretending to be decadent or he is really decadent, he has not been able to change it after so many years.

He was used to his own awful appearance, but he couldn't bear to see others be like him.

Chu Zihang was fine, he even found his dad. The dead kid who was locked up in the rainy night should have escaped, right? He thought.

Susie is not bad either. She is brave enough to go against the wishes of the academy. Maybe Susie can replace Xiao Longnu, he thought.

He knew that Su Si liked Chu Zihang, and he was very familiar with that kind of liking a girl.

Comparing everything he had experienced to a stage where everyone was an actor, Finkel considered himself to be the guy who understood this group of young people best.

He was not bragging. The professors, the principal, and the vice-president were all older. They might have experienced similar youth, where you loved me and I loved you, but it was all too long ago. Memories from a long time ago were not clear. Finger's memory was not that long ago.

He has experienced all the glory and he has also tried all the loneliness.

very nice.

When he put out his cigar, a new cigar was handed to him.

Chu Tianjiao smiled at Finkel and asked, "Is one enough? When you are troubled, more will make you feel better."

"Uncle, what you said is very right!" Finkel took the cigar, "Why did you come out? Have you finished talking?"

"You'll know the whole story after hearing half of it." Chu Tianjiao lit one himself and threw the lighter to Finkel.

The two men leaned on the edge, smoking cigars in silence for a long time.

"There's no need to hold yourself back. In fact, you're not suitable to take my place." Chu Tianjiao suddenly put his hand on Finkel's shoulder. "The future may be bright. There's no need to think of yourself as a tool or something worthless."

"My future is only about revenge, uncle." Finkel wanted to say this with a smile, but he couldn't.

"Yes, revenge, and then what? Where to go after revenge? Maybe you will say that such fantasy is monotonous, indeed, but at least it will not make your life have only the meaning of revenge. We are half like dragons, strong and lonely. And half like humans, yearning for love. Don't live like a dragon, it will be very tiring."

"Uncle, you...are quite good at comforting people."

"Really?" Chu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would think I talk too much nonsense."

"It's okay. I think uncle, you don't talk as much nonsense as I do."

"The time when I talked the most nonsense was in the past. I was on a mission and couldn't interact too much with ordinary people. At that time, I would talk a lot when I saw Chu Zihang, and I was very long-winded."

"Uncle, at least you can talk nonsense with Chu Zihang. For a long time, I could only talk to the images in my dreams. This makes me... less lonely. Like you said, I can still feel love."
