"So... did you deliberately provoke him at the gate of the Hall of Valor during the day?" the other person asked. For him, he wanted to know what happened in the academy through the Night Watch Forum, which has a low confidentiality level, and

It's not something too difficult.

"That's right." Frost admitted directly without hiding anything. "For Caesar, forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do will only be counterproductive."

He continued: "Since he already thinks he has rebelled against the family, then I will help him and make his rebellion plan go smoothly."

"But even so, you can't confirm whether they will meet together in the end." The other party expressed doubts about his plan, "You may not know it yet, but Mo Tong has already noticed something.

"

"You don't have to worry about this." Frost had no intention of explaining, "I will arrange everything."

After hanging up the phone, he thought for a while and then dialed another number.

As soon as the call was connected, Frost said unceremoniously: "Come to the guest house to find me. Remember to be secretive and don't let the professors and students in the college discover our relationship."

After the obedient voice on the other side agreed, he hung up the phone and entered work mode. Although Pompeo's appearance today took away his right to speak, after the meeting was over, he was still the acting head of the Gattuso family.

The family affairs that Pompeo will not take care of must be done by him.

Moreover, Pompeo's behavior of directly overstepping the school board to support Angers today not only directly harmed the family's interests, but also handed part of the information to Angers. Although he had no power to stop him, he could not do nothing.

, you must notify the Board of Elders.

…

Hearing the voices inside, he stopped, and the figure outside the door left quietly. The light movements did not make any sound, so Frost, who had a hearing far beyond that of ordinary people, did not notice at all.

After leaving the room and coming to a secluded place, Patsy took out his cell phone and said directly: "Mr. Pompeo, as you expected, Mr. Frost still has contact with the Chen family."

"This younger brother of mine is really concerned about family affairs..." Pompeii on the opposite side said something with a sigh or a mocking expression.

Then he said in an extremely low voice: "...He has obviously already experienced something like that."

After saying these incomprehensible words, he asked Patsy: "How are the things I asked you to prepare?"

"It's already done, Mr. Pompeo." Patsy replied, "I have deposited that amount of funds into more than ten bearer accounts in multiple banks. The flow of funds is not affected by the family or the college.

You won’t notice it.”

"Well done. You are worthy of being the secretary that the family is proud of. Even the family itself cannot detect what you do. Compared to Frost, you are like the acting head of the family." Pompeo didn't know whether it was a compliment or a compliment.

Said something sarcastically.

Patsy did not pay attention to these words that could once again arouse Frost's anger, but asked: "With all due respect, Mr. Pompey, if you want to assist Master Caesar, it shouldn't be so complicated, right?"

I'm afraid only Caesar himself doesn't know that Pompeii loves his son. But this can't be blamed too much on him. It's Pompeii's way of expressing his love that most people may not be able to accept, even an outstanding mixed race like Caesar.

unacceptable.

"Having almost grown up with him, don't you know his character?" Pompeo said, "This time Frost is determined to annoy him. He will definitely do this in the future.

He showed some resistance and even refused the living expenses provided by his family. But this time Frost meant it and would not apologize and reconcile with him like before. He was so good-looking that he would not lose face and take the initiative to reconcile.

, and at the same time, he doesn’t understand how to write the words “save money”, so he may fall into a bit of financial crisis.”

"Of course I understand this, Mr. Pompeii, what I mean is..." A rare expression of embarrassment appeared on Patsy's face.

"It's just that your tasks...investigating your lover's cheating, retrieving lost jewelry given to your lover, and finding your forgotten first love, will Master Caesar really not have any doubts?" Passi said directly.

These made him feel that it was fake at first sight, the mission Pompeii planned to issue.

"Huh? Is that so?" Pompeo had nothing wrong with the plan that he felt was perfect.

Patsy further explained: "Moreover, the remuneration is set too high. Hunters like Master Caesar who are just curious and register for fun may not be able to compete with those veteran hunters who make a living from this."

"That's it..." Pompeii said with some distress. He was used to spending a lot of money and would not think about such things. "Forget it, you can arrange the remuneration as much as you like."

"Understood, Mr. Pompey," Patsy replied.

After saying this, Pompeo sighed: "Oh, I have really worried about my rebellious son completing what he should do."

Patsy smiled in agreement, but did not speak as he had no right to intervene in this topic.

"But what I want him to do is different from what the family wants him to do. That's what you want to say, right? Percy." Seeing his lack of response, Pompeo said suddenly.

Passi denied: "No, as the head of Gattuso's family, you are Gattuso's will. I will always obey your orders."

"What if I am not the head of Gattuso's family?" Pompeii asked again, his tone serious and lacking any sense of dissoluteness from before.

The atmosphere became quiet, and Percy, who seemed to know what Pompeii wanted to do, paused and did not answer immediately.

After a while, Pompeo continued: "I hope that when Caesar does his own thing, I also hope that you can find what you should do."

After saying this, Pompeo hung up the phone, leaving Patsy alone with his thoughts.

...You can do this for Caesar, who can do this for me?

Looking at the heterochromatic pupils on the screen of the turned-off mobile phone, Patsy put away the phone and left the corner. Then he saw a round-faced Asian face passing by in the corridor outside.

After seeing him, the man ran towards him with surprise on his face: "Senior Patsy! Is it really you? It's really great to see you!"

Fujiwara Shinnosuke? Seeing the man appear nearby, Patsy's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly recovered.

Passy, ​​who knew clearly that Frost had called him here, asked the man directly: "What are you doing here? You haven't forgotten that your relationship with the Gattuso family should not be known, right?"

The man named Fujiwara Shinnosuke shrank his neck and explained weakly: "Mr. Frost asked me to come here. I paid attention along the way and was not noticed. When I passed by here, I happened to meet you.

…”

Patsy said with no expression on her face: "I understand, come with me, I will take you to Mr. Frost's room."

Then he turned around and walked back, taking Fujiwara Shinnosuke to Frost's room.

"That's really troubling you, Senior Patsy." The man with his back to Patsy said, but the humble expression on his face was completely gone, replaced by the expression of someone who had caught something.

"Thank you for bringing him here, Patsy." Frost said in the room, "But don't tell anyone about his coming to see me, especially the head of the family and Caesar."

"Understood, Mr. Frost. Well, I'll take my leave first." Patsy, who had brought the person there, said goodbye and turned around to leave without any hesitation.

"You're so handsome, Patsy-senpai." Shinnosuke Fujiwara, who was brought in by him, said with admiration, "You are indeed the number one in the family. Why haven't you rested so late? You are working hard to patrol the area."

This seemed like a compliment, but Frost discovered the problem that he had just ignored. He frowned and asked directly: "I remember that if there is no mission, you usually go to bed early, right? You are still out so late.

, is something wrong?"

Percy turned around with a normal expression and replied: "At the request of Mr. Pompeo, I sent something to the vice-principal. It's just because the content of the thing to be sent is...well, so it needs to be hidden."

Frost held his forehead: "I understand, you go quickly."

He shouldn't have asked why Pompeii always did such embarrassing things.

"Then, farewell."

Patsy closed the door, turned his expressionless face, and couldn't help but shake his hand slightly.

…

In the principal's office, the principal who sent Elizabeth back to her dormitory was sitting at his desk, and opposite him sat the vice principal.

"It's great. I have my beautiful granddaughter walking with me in the evening, but I only have my bald son who is almost losing all his hair, and he is not very willing to pay attention to me." The vice-principal was obviously drinking strong wine, but he said sour words.

.

"That's not what I asked you to come here for." The principal said, "I don't have much time left, and that feeling comes again."

It is rumored that many people will sense their own death before they die. So the principal thought that the two previous feelings were probably reminders to him.

The vice-principal shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. I said you're fine. Don't just watch her wearing a wedding dress like this. It's okay to bring her children to show off to me."

After he finished speaking, he added: "You have to believe that this is my diagnosis as a master alchemist."

"No, it's different this time." The principal said again, "The feeling this time is much more intense than the last time, as if they are in the college at the moment."

"If they are really here, I would like to meet them." The vice-principal replied, "If you really have the ability to create such an illusion, then it is probably a word spirit. Do you think the word spirit used in the academy can

Escape from my eyes?"

He added: "If there really is one, he is also the 'King' of the first generation. Doesn't this also suit your wishes?"

The principal continued: "Anyway, I don't have much time. The plan to find the dragon tomb must be launched."

"You are really anxious. The little guy has just finished fighting, and you have to send him to another battlefield."

"He is only used as a decisive weapon. He is not needed for the exploration plan."

"Then you're going to execute it? I'm not Schneider, and I can't give you command of the execution department."

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you think I want to do with you? Without your alchemy support, it will be difficult to launch the exploration plan."

"Oh~ I'm just here to work for you."

The vice-principal put down the empty wine bottle, sighed, and then said as if he remembered something: "By the way, when you asked me to help you when you were walking with little Elizabeth, I stayed up late in the central control room.

My son who was on duty and almost lost all his hair came to contact me."

He thought about the content of his words and continued: "What he said is that the Russian named Volodya that you want the enforcement department to focus on was found dead in his own home. Judging from the time, it is you

While still in the meeting."

The principal paused while holding the cup. After a while, he put the cup down and said, "Is it still too late..."

Seeing his expression, the vice-principal said with satisfaction: "But there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
