Because of news from the Hunter Market, Kassel College began sending people to the capital.
Three groups were sent out from among the students.
Group A consists of Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and Finger.
Group B consists of Caesar, Chen Motong, and Xia Mi.
Group C consists of Gu Ran, Su Xi, and Ling.
Originally, there were only two groups, A and B, to compete against each other. Gu Ran formed his own group and volunteered for it, and Angers agreed because Gu Ran was on his side.
But the board of directors absolutely refused to agree.
It's obvious that Gu Ran will be on the same team as Chu Zihang, which would put Caesar's team at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
"Believe it or not, with just one phone call, I can prevent anyone from your Gattuso family from entering China?" Gu Ran stared at Percy and said.
Percy was just a pawn, so he had no choice but to tell Frost what he said.
Frost was silent for a moment, forgetting Gu Ran's status in a prominent Chinese family.
Gu Ran's appearance at the auction had already made people aware of his status in the aristocratic family.
The capital city is, after all, part of China, and it's their territory. The Gattuso family can't act so arrogantly.
Chapter 286 Caesar's Marriage Counseling
Therefore, under Gu Ran's threat, Frost had no choice but to agree to let him form his own squad.
However, Frost emphasized that the teams were in competition with each other, and that they had to complete their missions independently without exchanging intelligence.
Gu Ran readily agreed. The reason he formed this team was simply because he didn't want to take leave.
Because the leave period is too long and attendance is reduced, academic credits will be deducted.
However, when you are assigned a task, it is considered practical learning. Not only will you not lose credits, but you will also gain credits, and it will not be considered as taking leave or skipping class.
This way, he can go back to China without having to ask for leave, and he can also earn extra credits—a win-win-win situation! Time to throw a victory party!
Of the three groups, Caesar's group has equipment support from the Equipment Department, since the Board of Trustees controls the Equipment Department's funding and therefore naturally serves Caesar.
Chu Zihang's group, on the other hand, were provided with the Seven Deadly Sins, an alchemical dragon-slaying artifact by the principal, and the group was even playing with the sword in the office.
As for Gu Ran's group, they were penniless and completely isolated, possessing nothing except for the basic equipment provided by the execution department.
However, Gu Ran did not intend to confront the Dragon King head-on on this trip.
His goal is to prevent Odin from obtaining Fenrir's Dragonbone Cross.
It is clear that this time the bounty on the Hunter Market was issued by Odin.
Odin's goal was to use the Mystic Party and other hunters to eliminate Fenrir.
Finally, Odin reaped the benefits, obtaining Fenrir's Dragon Bone Cross.
Because of his crown status, the Dragon King cannot be strengthened by ordinary dragon serum. To evolve and become stronger, he can only devour the dragon bone cross of other Dragon Kings.
In the original timeline, when Ragnarok arrived, Odin not only devoured Fenrir's dragon bones but also those of the false White King, further enhancing his power.
Gu Ran's goal is to prevent Odin from becoming stronger.
This step is crucial for subsequent development.
*……*……*
The three members of the group met in the evening, each carrying a backpack.
Gu Ran asked Susie, "Did Caesar agree?"
Susie nodded: "He agreed. His private jet has enough seats, but there might not be enough beds."
The Caesar family's Gulfstream private jet only had three full-size beds, enough for two girls to squeeze in and sleep.
"I'll just sit and rest." Gu Ran looked at Ling, who had no expression. "Can you and Susie share a bed?"
Zero has a nickname in the academy: the 'Vacuum Queen'. She doesn't like others touching her body.
“It’s okay, I can sit and rest,” Zero said.
"Alright." Gu Ran didn't say much and went straight to the train station to set off with Caesar and the others.
On the Gulfstream private jet, Caesar very gentlemanly gave up his bed to Zero.
Gu Ran looked around the beds and said to Xia Mi, "Hey junior sister, as the interest you get from using my kitchen every day, can't you let me sleep here too?"
Xia Mi's eyes widened, and she covered her chest with both hands: "You pervert, are you trying to take advantage of me?"
Gu Ran laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in sizzling tofu... Oh, I forgot there's a 4A-level scenic spot here. I'm leaving now; survival is the priority!"
After saying that, he turned and ran, afraid of being beaten up by two AA-level people.
"What is a 4A-level scenic spot?" the naive Susie asked Nuonuo.
Nono pointed at Xia Mi, then at Ling, and explained, "They are all AA, which adds up to 4A."
Xia Mi first looked at her own unremarkable steel plate, then glanced at Su Xi's size, which was at least a C, then looked at Nuonuo, which was a B, and finally looked at Ling, nodding immediately as if she had found a kindred spirit.
She puffed out her chest, somewhat dissatisfied: "Is bigger always better?"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Susie's soft, smooth breasts, kneading them.
Susie was taken aback and slapped her hand, saying, "What are you doing? Stop fooling around!"
“I have to say, this feeling is really different…” Xia Mi released Su Xi and looked at Nuonuo.
"I can let you try, but you have to let me pinch your cheeks first," Nono said with a smile.
"Once I've tried the big ones, I'm not interested in the smaller ones anymore," Xia Mi grinned at Nuonuo.
Zero didn't react to what was just said. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and seemed to be going to sleep.
Susie actually quite liked Xia Mi, her junior from elementary school. She was quirky and pretty, no wonder she was so popular with Chu Zihang.
Su Qian had been watching Xia Mi and Chu Zihang's interactions these past few days.
Rumors were already circulating on campus that Xia Mi was bringing Chu Zihang food every day because she was trying to woo the president of the Lionheart Society. The two were a perfect match, a cold and ruthless young man and a sunny and cheerful young woman.
Susie was a little jealous, but as time went on, she let it go and silently wished them well.
In bed, Nuonuo grabbed Susie's hand and wrote on her palm: "You gave up on your Chu Zihang?"
Susie shook her head and wrote in Nuonuo's palm: "He is not mine, he has never belonged to me."
"You have three months of special privileges, use them on Chu Zihang!"
Susie remembered what Gu Ran had told her a long time ago: if she confessed her feelings to Chu Zihang, she would definitely fail.
So she was granted the privilege of being accepted within three months of a confession, but she didn't use it.
Susie changed the subject and continued writing in Nono's hand: "What about you? If Lu Mingfei were to grant you three months of special privileges right now, would you agree?"
"Of course I'll agree, and then as soon as the three months are over, I'll dump him immediately!" Nuonuo wrote. "I want him to know that some girls are the white moonlight he can never have in this life, so that he will cherish the girls who love him in front of him."
"A girl likes Lu Mingfei?"
"I wouldn't call it love, but I think I definitely have some feelings for them."
"Who?"
"zero!"
"No way, that little girl acts like a queen."
"Lu Mingfei is a masochist, he likes bottoms!"
What is a masochist?
"that is……"
These two best friends chatted and wrote in bed, just like passing notes in school. They chatted for hours, and eventually, they both fell asleep without realizing it.
……
In the cabin lounge outside, Gu Ran and Caesar sat on the sofa, each holding an iPad.
Caesar logged into his hunter account and searched for useful information on the hunter website.
Gu Ran was looking at the earthquake data of Beijing that Zhang Wanjun had sent him. After all, China was their own territory. After a little analysis, Nuwa and the elders of the aristocratic families immediately found a breakthrough and knew which aspect to start from to quickly analyze the location of the King of Earth and Mountains.
In fact, Gu Ran already knew where Fenrir was, and had previously spent $8000 million to buy the land and the entire building.
He calculated that Jormungandr would officially begin its operation in about a week, so it seemed that he could open a steel plate shop in the wedding hall in advance to prepare high-strength steel plates.
Then, by reselling it... they can make millions of dollars for free.
The Gattuso family will definitely foot the bill for this money; they can just sell the steel plate shop to them for five million.
With this in mind, Gu Ran sent an email to Zhang Wanjun asking her to book a shop on the ground floor of the wedding building and begin preparing these high-strength steel plates, as well as welding machines and other tools.
After doing all that, he stretched and prepared to sit back in his airline seat, fasten his seatbelt, and go to sleep.
"I heard you got engaged." Caesar seemed to have finished his business and suddenly spoke to Gu Ran, "Congratulations."
"Thank you," Gu Ran smiled. "You'll be here soon too, right?"
“Nono… she hasn’t agreed to be with me yet.” Caesar poured himself a glass of gin, took a sip, and asked cautiously, “Won’t your family mind that your girlfriend’s bloodline is too low? Of course, I don’t mean to discriminate against her bloodline…”
Gu Ran knew Caesar's concerns and said, "I am different from you. I was not born and raised in the family. I have not received any favors from the Zhang family, so naturally I do not need to be concerned about their feelings."
He continued, "Therefore, I actually have no connection with the Zhang family. In fact, it is the Zhang family that is currying favor with me, not me who is dependent on the Zhang family. I can marry whomever I want."
“We are different after all.” Caesar received Gattuso’s education from a young age. Although he disliked the Gattuso surname, it was undeniable that it was because of the Gattuso surname that he enjoyed a privileged life.
Even the plane I'm sitting on right now belongs to the family.
Caesar had previously rejected his uncle Frost's Nibelungen Plan, fearing that his family would cut off his credit cards and deprive him of his living expenses.
Frost, of course, did not do that, because Caesar was of the best and most stable bloodline, and was the future of the family.
Over the years, Caesar has become accustomed to the luxurious lifestyle of the nobility, making it difficult for him to lower his standards of living.
Just like the operation of the student council, it cannot function without the financial support of the Gattuso family. Without this support, the student council would soon be reduced to a second-rate club and would no longer be able to compete with the Lionheart Society.
Therefore, for Caesar, completely severing ties with the Gattuso family and leaving with nothing was not so simple.
First, he himself could not give up his life of wealth and privilege, and given his personality, since he had enjoyed the benefits of his family, it was only right that he should contribute to the family.
