Chapter 38 Off-field Support
Chapter 38 Off-field Support
"So that's how it is..." Hyotei said thoughtfully.
But Tianmeng noticed something amiss: "Your uncle and aunt certainly have no obligation to take care of your mental health, but the problem is, their improved standard of living is largely due to the living expenses your parents give them to raise you!"
[Perhaps some of the money was for thanking them, but logically, most of it should have been used for you—it belongs to you! What right do they have to misappropriate it? It would be normal if it were for living expenses together; it's not like they can't benefit from it. But the key point is they didn't give it to you! Why should they misappropriate your money and not take good care of you?]
Lu Mingfei was stunned by what he was said.
After hearing Tianmeng's explanation, Hyotei also felt that Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt had gone a bit too far.
"To put it bluntly, this is like hiring a nanny for your child, only for the nanny to embezzle money and abuse the child, causing severe psychological trauma." Tianmeng said indignantly. "If this kind of behavior were discovered in Douluo Continent, your uncle's entire family would pay with their lives!"
"No, it can't be that bad..." Lu Mingfei was startled. "They raised me, after all..."
"No, it's you who supported their family!" Tianmeng immediately corrected Lu Mingfei's thinking. "You're the one who's been kind to them!"
If Lu Mingfei's parents hadn't given him any money, or had only given him a small amount, that would have been fine. But in reality, his uncle's family not only benefited from the situation but also dared to mentally abuse Lu Mingfei!
"You were always a prodigy with unlimited potential. Perhaps a small deviation occurred, causing setbacks in your growth, but that's alright," Tianmeng said earnestly to Lu Mingfei, hands on her hips. "You will definitely get back on track and walk your own sunny path!"
Ice Emperor also said: "[That's right! Mingfei, you're doing very well right now. You might think this isn't your world, that you're not using your own identity or body, and that you're taking advantage of Yuhao, but even Yuhao's cultivation speed won't be faster than yours.]"
Your self-awareness played a decisive role in using this body!
Lu Mingfei's soul image is also like Huo Yuhao's.
Their exchange was thorough, but their self-awareness alone was entirely different.
Memory is the most important part of forming an independent personality!
Lu Mingfei laughed, but as he laughed, tears streamed down his face.
Thank you.
Thank you for telling me that I've never been a loser; I just haven't been treated properly.

"The young couple wants to elope, how can the patriarch be so heartless?" Wang Jiang stood in front of Yuan Zhisheng with a grin.
With his sudden movement, Erii, who was already running at high speed, ran even further, her figure almost disappearing from Genji's sight.
Genjiro's eyes instantly turned as cold as an Arctic glacier. His face darkened, and he swiftly struck the gloating Caesar on the back of the neck with the hilt of his sword, instantly eliminating the troublemaker. He then brandished his longsword and charged towards the king.
"Hahaha~" The king dodged the attacks of the young man with ease. His loose-fitting noble costume did not affect his movements at all. On the contrary, it made his movements as elegant as a dance.
"Master, you can't keep anyone here today." While dodging, the king grabbed Caesar, holding him by one leg, and wandered around Genji like a ghost. His tone was leisurely, like reciting poetry, "There is an old Chinese saying, 'Better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.' It's really touching that young people who truly love each other are willing to pay any price to be together."
Caesar only woke up when his head hit the wall during the dragging process.
"Run now that you're awake." Wang released his grip on Caesar's ankle, but took his hunting knife, "Dick Tudor," with him. "Although we couldn't cooperate, you've given me a good show."
"Run, lucky prey!"
Caesar snorted coldly, but his reaction was extremely quick.
This was not the time to act rashly. Without uttering a single harsh word, he rushed out of the building the moment he was freed from his restraints.
Knowing full well that he couldn't beat either of them, he still foolishly ran away!
Caesar was highly confident, arrogant, and even conceited, but he was not a fool who couldn't see the situation clearly.
He had already realized this when he met with Chu Zihang and the others. Lu Mingfei was unreliable; he couldn't even stand steadily and had become a complete burden.
Chu Zihang's condition was also not good, and his condition had obviously deteriorated significantly. It seems that they had also experienced a lot of difficulties downstairs.
Although he was in the best condition, he had just been captured, which says it all.
We don't know what's wrong with the king now, but let's just make a note of it and figure out a way to come back after they escape and recuperate!
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.
Japan Branch, Hebi Hachike!
Caesar suffered the biggest setback of his life here, and he is determined to get his revenge!
As Caesar stepped out of the building, he saw Chu Zihang speeding towards him on a motorcycle. Chu Zihang reached out his hand to him, and Caesar grabbed it, using the momentum to sit on the back seat.
"Where did you get this motorcycle?" Caesar breathed a sigh of relief and watched Chu Zihang drift into the street with a beautiful turn, and even whistled happily.
They've managed to break out of the den of dragons and tigers that is Genji Heavy Industries.
"Off-field support." Chu Zihang said succinctly, then quickly instructed, "Mingfei and the head of the Uesugi family have already returned to Takamagahara through the underground waterways. We need to make a few more rounds to divert the attention of the Hebi-Hachi family."
Chu Zihang said, "Kaguya-hime has already been passively shut down, but just to be safe, it's better to be prepared."
"You actually found Princess Kaguya's mainframe and blew it up?" Caesar was astonished.
This is such a pleasant surprise!
"I found something 'good' on the 30th floor too," Caesar said with a knowing smile. "Believe me, it will definitely surprise you!"
Chu Zihang corrected, "It wasn't destroyed. We only cut a part of the mainframe, and it will be repaired in a few days. The main force of the operation was the head of the Uesugi family, so we couldn't completely destroy it."
"But the few days we've gained are more than enough," Chu Zihang said calmly. "As long as we can contact the academy, we can resolve most of our predicament."
It's not just that they've solved most of the problems; as long as they can contact Kassel College now, they'll know that Kassel's strongest force—the invincible principal—Hilbert Jean Angers—has arrived in Tokyo!
If they can successfully reunite with Angers, their predicament will not only be solved, but will also be downgraded from difficult to easy.
