Chapter 244: Beyond the Entire Era
Inside Fenglong Hall.

After Caesar left, Percy, dressed in a black suit, walked out from behind the rosewood screen. He stood there while Caesar was talking to Lin Fenglong, blending into the darkness.

"Are you relieved now? I just said everything you taught me. I didn't say anything weird." Lin Fenglong didn't even look at Percy and continued counting the money.

"In fact, you can be easily discovered here. His words are from the sickle weasel. No sound in the area can escape his ears."

"I know, but he didn't tell on me, did he?" said Patsy.

"At least this means that he is no longer opposed to the support of the family. This can be considered an unexpected gain."

"I really don't understand. He can obviously enjoy the love of his family, so why is he so stubborn? If it were me, I would have compromised long ago." Lin Fenglong shrugged.

"It is precisely because of his stubbornness and independence, as well as his excellent bloodline, that he was chosen by the Gattuso family as the heir," said Pasi.

Lin Fenglong stuffed the counted money back into the paper bag, then into the cash register iron box and said, "Anyway, my mission is completed, and you should pay me the balance of $2.5 million."

"When Caesar got the book, the balance had already been deposited into your account in the Swiss bank." Percy frowned.

"You shouldn't be someone who cares so much about money."

"As an old man, I don't have anything else to pursue." Lin Fenglong smiled.

"You spent five million dollars to buy the book from me, and then asked me to sell it to him. It's too roundabout. Since he is no longer opposed to family funding, why don't you give it to him directly?"

"If it weren't for this test, who would have known that he had chosen to compromise?" Percy said lightly.

“All proud birds fly back to their nests one day.”

"The Gattuso family really has a plan for everything..." Lin Fenglong sighed softly.

"Fortunately, I am just a dead man and no longer need to participate in these complicated struggles."

"Complicated? Do you think your fake death is safe?" Percy asked coldly.

"I advise you to close this antique shop as soon as possible and leave here. Don't say you are dead. Although you have been crossed off the list, your old friend Ange has been looking for you for so many years, Mr. Friedrich von Roon."

Lin Fenglong's face darkened. "Frost talks too much. He shouldn't have mentioned my name to you. I hope you're the only one who knows my name, Mr. Percy."

"There's no need to keep it a secret from me," Percy said softly, "I won't live long anyway."

"Everything from now on depends on him..."

"It's up to you, as long as you don't disturb me from making money." Lin Fenglong nodded.

Outside Fenglong Hall.

"Huh?" Caesar stood there in a daze. In fact, when he came out this time, he had already thought about proposing to Chen Motong.

However, because Principal Ange proposed to investigate whether everyone was suitable to join the mixed-blood monarch plan during this mission, he did not propose to Chen Motong. He wanted to wait until the mission was over and he got the approval of Principal Ange before bringing up the matter.

But he didn't expect Chen Motong to bring up this topic on her own initiative. In his impression, Chen Motong has always been a girl who yearns for freedom. So Caesar was even prepared for his proposal to be rejected in the future.

"Didn't you hear it clearly? Then I'll say it again... Will you marry me, Caesar?" Chen Motong just looked at Caesar, watching him go from surprise to joy, and then to excitement, with an unprecedented calmness in her heart.

To be honest, she didn't know why she suddenly said such words, but Chen Motong was Chen Motong and would never deny what she had said.

She actually didn't like Caesar very much before. Although she was the destined bride arranged for Caesar by the Gattuso family, Chen Motong didn't like the feeling of having her fate arranged by others.

Even if she agreed to be with Caesar, it was because Caesar's selfless protection of her touched Chen Motong. When it comes to marriage, Chen Motong is still afraid. She doesn't know what the future will be like, and she doesn't know if she will be really happy if she marries Caesar.

Since elementary school, Chen Motong has always been the focus of all boys' attention. There is no shortage of boys around her who are willing to sacrifice for her, but Caesar... is the first boy who makes Chen Motong feel good.

As Caesar's girlfriend, how could Chen Motong not know about the conflict between the Gattuso family and Caesar? But even so, Caesar still chose to fight for the opportunity to be with Chen Motong.

He worked so hard just to prevent Chen Motong from being embarrassed by the family, but this stupid boy didn't know that Chen Motong had been tied to him for a long time...

Chen Motong was a little worried about this kind of fool. If it wasn't arranged for him, but someone else, would he be cheated out of everything? Instead of this, it would be better to let himself be cheated for the rest of his life.

She was indeed unsure whether she would be happy before, but if someone was willing to sacrifice his own happiness to make her happy, then there was no need to worry unnecessarily.

"Are you...are you serious? Nono?" Caesar scratched his head, his voice trembling.

"Just think of it as me wanting to deceive you, but... this scam is for a lifetime. What do you think? Are you willing to take the bait?" Chen Motong asked.

"Willingly..." Caesar opened his arms and hugged her, as if he was a king embracing the whole world in his arms.

Outside the Wangfujing subway station, Chu Zihang was standing at the entrance waiting for Finkel. After receiving the news, the two decided to test the law themselves, and Finkel took on the task of swiping the card.

Wangfujing Station happened to be the last stop from outside to inside, so Chu Zihang was waiting here to meet him.

"Should we be in time?" Chu Zihang checked the time. It was about four in the afternoon. If we finished swiping all the stations, it would be dusk. "I wonder where the others are now... Are they also swiping their cards?"

Chu Zihang touched the backpack on his back. The hard rain gave him a sense of security. The sky gradually began to drizzle, which reminded him of that night when it was exactly the same rain.

"Senior Brother Chu!" Lu Mingfei's voice came from a distance. Chu Zihang raised his head and looked at the figure gradually approaching.

He was carrying a huge metal box on his back and stopped in front of Chu Zihang, panting.

"Fortunately, we made it in time... Where are the others?" Lu Mingfei spoke intermittently. After obtaining the transportation card, Lu Mingfei returned to the hotel as soon as possible and picked up the box containing the seven deadly sins and the mobile phone.

The moment he opened his phone, he saw the email from Chu Zihang and the message to meet at Wangfujing subway station, so he rushed over without stopping.

"They haven't arrived yet, they should be on the way." Chu Zihang said.

"Oh, I see. By the way... I happen to have this here. It should have been swiped." Lu Mingfei took out the transportation card from his pocket.

Lu Mingfei felt that since Su Enxi would give it to him specifically, it must not be a transportation card that required him to complete the ceremony.

"I'll go in first, you wait for them here." Chu Zihang looked at the transportation card handed over by Lu Mingfei with some surprise. He was silent for a while, turned around and walked towards the entrance.

"Aren't you going to wait for Brother Gu and the others?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"They should be here soon. I'll go in first." Chu Zihang shook his head. He planned to explore the way first. If there was any problem, he could just notify others directly.

"Let me go with you." Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang and spoke.

"You stay here and work with Gu Ye and the others..." Chu Zihang was ready to refuse, but when he saw Lu Mingfei's serious expression, he could only nod and stop talking.

On the other side, the Peace Gate.

"We're here. You can take the subway here and go directly to Wangfujing." The taxi driver spoke to Caesar and Chen Motong in the back seat.

"Okay, thank you, Master." Caesar nodded, got off the car, and opened the umbrella in his hand. Hepingmen subway station is just right for taking the subway to Wangfujing.

"You go back and wait for me first, Nuonuo." Caesar turned around, walked to the car window on the other side, and spoke to Chen Motong in the car.

"Yes, you must come back safely." Chen Motong nodded. She had no spiritual power, so if she went to fight, she would only be a burden.

"Don't worry..." Caesar said, then he turned around and walked towards the subway station entrance with an umbrella.

"I'm very curious, are you sure that Caesar can find the Dragon King based on the clues?" Lin Fenglong asked.

"In the weapon in Caesar's hand, there is a philosopher's stone extracted from the bones of the Dragon King." Percy said.

"It is both a weapon and a bait. It contains the blood of the Dragon King. All dragons will smell the strong scent of the blood. They will come after Caesar, including the King of the Earth and the Mountain."

"You are really crazy! Aren't you afraid that he will die at the hands of the Dragon King?" Lin Fenglong showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He was extremely glad that he had only chosen to cooperate with the Gattuso family this once. Even the family heir could be ruthless, so what else could they not do? After this was over, he really had to close the store and run away.

"Caesar is the person the family has been waiting for hundreds of years." Percy looked into the distance.

"He just needs training, but we will never allow him to die young. He is the one we chose to start a new era!"

In the family, there have been descendants whose bloodline is far purer than Caesar's. The various high-risk words and spirits they displayed were recorded, but they were not regarded as heirs to be cultivated. Instead, they were quietly removed from the family tree and secretly sent overseas like abnormalities.

After waiting for decades, they were always disappointed, until the family elders took the silent baby from the nurse's blood-stained hands. The baby did not make any cry, but opened his ice-blue eyes to observe the world from the moment he left the womb.

It was not until this moment that the family was certain that the person chosen from among thousands, ten thousand, or one hundred thousand had appeared, and his future was so vast and magnificent that he was destined to surpass the entire era.

Even Percy himself was just a stepping stone for Caesar's future, so Percy was very sure... Caesar would not die here, and he would never allow him to die here.

"Goodbye, Mr. Friedrich von Roon." Percy bowed slightly and walked towards the door.

"It's better not to see you again." Lin Fenglong turned around without looking at Percy and packed up the items in the store.

Boom! The ground was shaking, and the whole of Yanjing began to tremble uneasily. The drizzle was getting heavier and heavier. Caesar, who had just arrived at the subway station entrance, subconsciously raised his head and saw only a pair of huge golden eyes in the rain.

In the taxi, Chen Motong managed to steady himself with great difficulty. He subconsciously turned around to look at where Caesar had been, but he saw nothing. Caesar had disappeared without his knowledge, leaving behind only an umbrella.

"Caesar!" Chen Motong leaned on the car window and shouted. Her vision became increasingly blurred under the heavy rain, and the rain wet her hair.

Chen Motong turned around and kept giving instructions to the driver to stop the car, but the driver drove quickly towards a safe place because of the earthquake.

In the end, she could only watch herself getting farther and farther away from Caesar, and slumped in the back seat of the taxi with some reluctance.
