The summer night wind carried a hint of heat, the shadows of trees were swaying on both sides of the path, and the rustling of forest leaves was intertwined with the unique chirping of cicadas in summer. Caesar had a rare feeling of being alone.
But speaking of it, he is indeed alone now. The boys in the student union have not returned to school yet, his girlfriend is currently missing, and the few guys he has just formed a friendship with have gone on their own missions, leaving him alone.
in school.
Caesar took a long breath, sat on a bench by the roadside, and looked at the dim accommodation area without lights in the night.
He is already a senior and will graduate soon after returning from Japan. After graduation, under the arrangement of his family, he will go to Italy to serve as a specialist in the executive branch. The trajectory of his future can be seen almost at a glance. The details can be copied from Japanese works.
Sauce.
In this respect, he is actually very similar to Meisaku. They are both heirs of a powerful force. They come to school for gold plating and making connections...
I thought that after returning to Italy, he would be promoted one after another due to the unanimous praise submitted by the branch to the headquarters, and quickly become the director of the Italian branch, and the position of minister is still just the starting point.
This time he went back and met his uncle and the old monsters in his family.
His uncle said that he was about to graduate. After graduation, he could go back to Italy to help him, and then learn how to become a qualified leader of the Gattuso family. He must not be like his father who only knew how to pick up girls all over the world. In this regard, his uncle was very pleased.
She looks like him but not like her biological father...
As for those old guys who had to cough for a while when speaking, and the coughing looked like they were coughing out their lungs, they looked at him with joy, saying that the future leader of the family had grown so big, and "Julian" who returned not long ago
"Star" is proof that Caesar will ascend to the throne.
But Caesar suddenly felt that all this was boring.
He has never been against ascending to high positions, and he has always believed that he is the best and will eventually become the best, because he is his mother's son, and his mother said that his Caesar is the best in the world.
At last year's school board meeting, the reason why he rejected his uncle's proposal and refused to directly obtain a place in the "Nibelungen Plan" with the support of the Gattuso family was because at that time he had not yet completely defeated his old enemy Chuzi.
Hanging, this is a cheating method, he disdains it, and it is also a problem that has always existed in his heart.
While he was used to the support from his family, he was also resisting the family and refusing to reach a "consensus" with the family.
At that time, my uncle was angry about how he could have such a mean side. He had not yet grown up and did not understand the love his family had for him.
And he was also sneering in his heart, feeling unspeakable joy, as if he had successfully taken revenge on his family.
It's ridiculous. Seriously speaking, it was a rebellious period. When Caesar thought about it afterwards, he felt that his mentality at the time was a bit childish.
But he has no regrets.
Because my mother is really dead.
Because everyone raised a toast at Mom's funeral to celebrate the disappearance of the surname "Gullweger".
Because he witnessed everything with his own eyes, their sharp and twisted congratulations echoed in his ears.
Caesar slowly lowered his head, his eyes falling on the light and shadow of the street lamp falling on the ground.
He was meditating, examining his past words and deeds towards his family, and his true thoughts over the years.
He has never tried to leave the family in these years, because he knows that this is the rebellion of the family. He can rebel in many places, and can openly challenge his uncle's majesty at the school board meeting, letting the family's hard-earned quota be in vain, but "adding
The surname "Tuso" has always been the bottom line of the family.
This was his early attempt, and he wrote "Caesar Gullweger" on that check.
The family can tolerate him doing many things, but will never allow him to give up the surname "Gattuso".
He knew this, so over the years he had never made any unnecessary attempts without preparation.
Rather than making attempts that are unlikely to succeed, it is better to make more use of family resources to make yourself stronger.
On this trip home, his family was instilling in him that a new era was coming and the world needed a new emperor...
Caesar saw the future from Lu Mingfei and knew the future of the Gattuso family, but he had no interest in it.
He doesn't mind ascending to a high position, but this cannot be based on the destruction of human civilization.
He has always required himself to be a good family man. If the price of ascending to the throne is losing the girl he likes, he just wants to say screw you.
Speaking of which, there are only a few people in the family that he really cares about and holds grudges against, and the others are not even qualified for him to hold grudges.
But these people all died.
His uncle who always claimed to love him died, his biological father Pompeii, whom he rarely saw once a year, also died, and even Passy, who had been accustomed to calling him Master since he was a child, also died.
But the Gattuso family became the masters of the world and inherited the black throne.
Who stepped on the bones of the tribe and ascended the throne?
Those old immortals?
It seems that they are the only ones left in the family who are qualified.
Caesar had thought of this before. When he went to see them, he secretly observed them carefully, but he couldn't determine who it was, or was it all of them?
Caesar's original plan was to try to truly break away from the family.
He had found a friend who was willing to walk into the storm with him and fight against his family. He was no longer afraid. However, after learning what would happen in the future, he changed his mind.
He thought for a long time, and finally chose to return to the family and decided to inherit the position of patriarch of the Gattuso family according to his original trajectory.
He has no extra time to play confrontational games with his family, nor does he have time to continue his willfulness and revenge.
He needs time, he needs to temporarily borrow the power of the Gattuso family for his own use, and he also needs to find out the "mastermind" hidden within the Gattuso family.
This is his main goal now. For this reason, he is even willing to put aside his inherent hostility towards the family and actively integrate into the family.
As for the reason.
Perhaps it is because the existence and destruction of the world are far greater than his personal hatred.
Or maybe...
It was he who saw the death of his future uncle.
He must admit that when he heard the news, he felt very complicated. His mind was empty and his heart was empty. It seemed that he had lost the pillar that he had been holding on to for a long time, and he had lost the direction and meaning of progress in an instant.
All the hatred disappeared after that person died.
In the previous attic, Caesar vaguely guessed the task that the vice-principal was going to give him.
It is nothing more than joining the school board as the heir to the Gattuso family.
Based on the education he has received, he can naturally see that the current situation is very serious. At a time when the life and death of Principal Angers are unknown, and dragon incidents occur frequently around the world, the secret party cannot be leaderless, and they need a temporary leader.
The reason why the school board meeting was held one month in advance must be because of this incident.
To become the leader of the secret party, you must be recognized by the vast majority of elders.
When he returned home, the elders specifically pointed out his future enemies, such as Chu Zihang, who was chosen as the representative of the Beowulf family, Lu Mingfei, who had been supported by Anger...
The elders said that the family would stand behind him and support him unswervingly, supporting him in his fight against these people for the leadership of the Secret Party.
At that time, Caesar murmured in his heart that maybe the situation should be reversed, and he would fight against the family with the support of these people.
And now...
The vice principal's plan is probably to get everyone to support him in taking the position.
With the support of the Beowulf family, the Sheqi family, the vice-principal, and the Gattuso family, he has a high probability of success.
After separating from Lu Mingfei and others, this was what Caesar was thinking about as he walked along the path at his feet.
He quickly thought of the key, and began to think about how to plan a situation that was beneficial to them after becoming the leader of the secret party, and how to compromise with the family to further gain authority within the family and obtain more intelligence...
These are all troublesome things, and just thinking about them gives Caesar a headache.
But someone has to do these things, and he is the most suitable person.
No matter in terms of personal ability or the family behind him, no one is more suitable for this position than him, even Yuan Zhisheng, who like him has firmly established himself as the patriarch, is no exception.
The Eight Sheqi families have no foundation in the Secret Party. Unlike the Gattuso family, which has gradually become the number one among many families in the Secret Party, they are also feared by various families due to their recent betrayal and are not qualified to compete for the leadership position.
In fact, Caesar has now discovered that in terms of combat power, he is indeed capable of fighting among hybrids, but compared with some monsters, he is still far behind.
Not to mention Lu Mingfei, he can't defeat any of the three Yuan Zhisheng brothers and sisters. Even Chu Zihang may not be his opponent now...
Lu Mingfei had also talked to him before. Unless they could lock down all the enemies in an instant, even if they could win in the end, the world would probably be ruined in their battle, with countless casualties, so they had to dig out the hidden treasures.
The man behind the scenes has to get rid of the situation where the enemy is in darkness and we are clear, and he is their hope.
Caesar was noncommittal about this at the time, but he had to admit afterwards that division of labor and cooperation would never go out of style.
Since it is likely that it will not be his turn on the frontal battlefield, logistics is as important as political work...
Caesar consoled himself thus.
Taking a deep breath, Caesar stood up, not wanting to continue sitting here feeding mosquitoes, and prepared to go back to the dormitory.
Tomorrow he will continue to visit the vice-principal. The results of Lu Mingfei's trip to Egypt will also determine their future specific plans. He will coordinate everything with the vice-principal.
Walking along the upward slope, Caesar suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him. He was tall and slender, with a thin waist and long legs. His long hair was curled at the end. He looked very familiar...
"Yin Sabel?"
Caesar quickly recognized the new leader of the student union dance troupe. After all, the dance troupe was one that he strongly supported...
"President?" Yin Sabel was a little surprised and hurriedly walked in front of Caesar.
"You returned to school so early?" Caesar asked in surprise.
"Well, I have just taken over the dance troupe, and I am not yet proficient in some tasks." Yin Sabel pulled back her hair, and then asked with a smile, "President, you should be graduating, right? Have you chosen the next chairman?
"
Caesar was stunned for a moment. He almost forgot about this, but fortunately, he no longer needed to worry about this candidate for chairman.
"Of course, it has been chosen. The next president will be the best person in the school. This is completely in line with the consistent tradition of our student union." Caesar shrugged.
"Is it senior Lu Mingfei?" Yin Sabel's eyes lit up and she blurted out.
Caesar raised his eyebrows, thinking that Mingfei seemed to have successfully created an excellent S-class image in this life.
"Yes, it's him." Caesar smiled.
"That's great!" Yin Sabel suppressed her excitement and said with a smile, "Chairman, you don't know, I just met Qilan. Qilan said that if the next president of the student union is not Senior Brother Lu, he is ready to block the way.
Senior brother turned back and became the president of the fraternity."
"Qilan." Caesar laughed dumbly. Was he trying to rob someone else?
And the next moment——
"What did you say?!"
In Yin Sabel's eyes, Caesar's expression suddenly changed, his eyes sharp and horrifying.
"Who did you meet?" Caesar stared at Yin Sabel, his voice urgent.
Yin Sabel was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "It's Qilan, the president of the freshman fraternity. Chairman, what's wrong with you?"
"Did you just meet Qilan?" Caesar confirmed again, "On campus?"
"Well, he even helped me carry my luggage." Yin Sabel paused and then asked hesitantly, "Have you ever had any issues with him?"
There was a buzz in Caesar's mind. The younger brother's previous words were still in his ears. Isn't it suspected that something happened to Qilan and is he in Egypt now?
He is back?
Caesar suddenly felt horrified and suddenly pulled out the Desert Eagle from his waist.
At this moment, there seemed to be some monster peering at him coldly in the darkness around him, causing chills all over his body and his spirit to tense up instantly.
He tried to activate [Kamaitachi] in an instant, but the [Commandments] that enveloped the entire school made the wind monsters fall asleep.
Caesar took a deep breath to keep himself calm.
"Chairman, you...what's wrong with you?" Yin Sabel was also a little scared by his actions.
Caesar raised a finger in front of his lips, slowly closed his eyes, and poured all his five senses into his hearing. Even without [Kamaitachi], his hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people.
Suddenly there were footsteps coming from the right.
Caesar looked warily to the right until the expressionless Eri appeared in his field of vision.
The moment he saw Eriki appear, Caesar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I've never seen this one before," Yin Sabel said in shock.
"This is your next chairman's girlfriend." Caesar whispered.
"Why?!"
Ignoring Yin Sabel's shock and loss, Caesar said calmly: "Eri Yi, you felt something that made you come to me, right?"
Eriyi nodded seriously, her eyes wandering around.
The wind blew along this trail, and the forest leaves rustled, but the cicadas no longer chirped, and the silence was terrifying.
It was obviously a summer night, but there was a bone-chilling chill permeating the windy trees.
At this moment, even Yin Sabel noticed an obvious abnormality.
Caesar whispered, "Eriyi, can you confirm the identity of the other party, and can you also use the word spirit?"
According to his information, Eri is a ghost in the emperor's blood, and her bloodline is the strongest among the three siblings, even higher than Uesugi Koshi.
"You can't find him, but you can use the Word Spirit." Eryi's voice was soft and soft with a hint of coldness. She slowly raised her hand above her head, and the invisible field instantly replaced the nearby [Commandment] field that originally enveloped the school.
.
At this moment, Caesar felt that the suppressed spirit had broken free from its restraints. He did not hesitate to activate [Scythe Weasel] with maximum power, releasing all the wind monsters.
But the wind demon who went away with the wind failed to bring back any news, no... no one returned at all!
