Chapter 379 (2/2)
Their bodies are like ancient tree fossils, pale and spotted, with severe muscle atrophy, and dry skin seems to be directly wrapped on the surface of bones.
The nurses operated and began to heat up.
After warming up, their faces gradually approached ordinary people, the blood flow accelerated, their muscles and skin were full, and their pale skin showed a baby like tender red.
The medical staff opened the low-temperature box, held them up, slapped them on the back and let them spit out the sticky sputum accumulated in their throat. They became refreshed and put on light, Roman style white robes, just like a person.
From the mummified corpse in the ancient tomb, he became a kind-hearted old man with dignity.
These oldest and even nearly 300 year old people wake up one by one. Today is an important meeting in the family, and they need to make a decision.
When the time came, Caesar was taken to the monastery by Percy, and Percy bowed respectfully and retreated. Only Caesar had the right to enter.
Caesar looked at the huge monastery and stepped into the Central Church with a playful smile.
In the sunny hall, twelve old people dressed in white robes and like monks sat quietly on Twelve Chairs. The marble floor was visible and reflected their shadows, like ancient sages sitting on the silent water.
Caesar pushed the door in and didn't look at the old people. He just appreciated the decoration in the church as if he didn't care about the meeting.
”Caesar, our best successor, our meeting is very rare.”
The head of the old man said slowly.
”Oh? I have plenty of time and always stay in the college. I'm not as uncertain as the stallion father. What's the difficulty?”
Caesar smiled sarcastically at the corners of his mouth. ”It's not easy for you to wake up once, is it?”
In his opinion, these are immortality. It's good to go to the earth honestly, but live in the world with the power and money in his hands and the power of science, technology and medicine.
Damn it, don't die, live... It's ugly.
The old people on the chair were not angry at Caesar's words. In their eyes, Caesar was like a wayward child.
And those who can achieve their position are all the top power people who have seen the rolling wheels of history, and will not feel angry because of their children's little disrespect.
They will not be ruthless, because their anger will not be erased.
”So why did the ancestors call me?”
Caesar sat in a chair and crossed his legs. He didn't have the restraint that an Italian gentleman should have. He looked and acted like the local ruffians he had seen in Tokyo.
”You proposed to the girl named Chen Mo Tong.”
Headed by the old man, alpha spoke slowly.
The names of these old people are just simple Roman letters: α， Alpha; β， Beta; γ， Gamma; δ， Delta; ε， Epsilon
These are not so much names as codes or serial numbers. These old people don't seem to care about their sense of existence in this world.
No, in Caesar's view, this is just the arrogance of comparing kings.
Because these old people feel that they represent the rules and make rules. They only need a simple name to distinguish, but they occupy every letter of Rome, as if they can represent Rome and kings!
”It has nothing to do with the family.”
Caesar's expression became gloomy. He hated the family interfering in his private affairs most.
”You are the heir of the family. How can it have nothing to do with the family to decide the future mistress of the family?”
Alpha's voice was quiet and peaceful.
”So?”
Caesar sneered, ”do you want to say that nono is not worthy of our 'noble' Gattuso family? The family also wants to tell me about my bride?”
He spat on the polished marble floor, which made several old people frown slightly.
”You can't change what I decide. I like nono. It has nothing to do with her origin, excellence or appearance. I just like her.”
His tone was casual, but his eyes were firm. ”Before Gattuso, I was Caesar. You can freeze my bank card and even expel me from the family. If you want to persuade me on this matter, you can start to take action.”
The silent gaze of the old people is like a neural interconnected computer, twelve elders, the same clothes, the same haggard face and the same eyes. After everyone's exchange of views, only alpha, the leader, needs to speak on behalf of everyone.
Caesar was ready to turn and slam the door, but alpha spoke.
”Caesar, you always have too much resentment against the family, but you should know that the family loves you. Of course, we will not deny the decisions you make, but will only give blessings.”
The old man's tone was soft and slow, like a gentle elder.
Caesar looked at alpha unexpectedly. He couldn't believe it would be the words of the immortal in the family. At the moment when he decided to propose to nono, he was ready to leave the family.
But unexpectedly, these old people actually compromised with themselves?
”Why?”
Caesar looked at the old people suspiciously. He instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy.
Alpha, the leader, sighed softly, ”Alas, Caesar, you have too deep prejudice against the family. The elders bless their children. Where do you need and why?”
He continued: ”what's more, you are our chosen successor, and Chen Mo Tong is good enough. It's good for you to fall in love, and we have no reason to refuse.”
He answered Caesar's questions one after another from both perceptual and rational aspects, and seemed very sincere.
Caesar hated the family very much, and hated these old guys, but at this moment, he couldn't find a reason to hate them.
The elders came to bless their marriage. He can't continue to spit on them.
”That's what you came to me today?”
Caesar cut off the topic. Anyway, it's always good for the family not to oppose their marriage.
”My blessing to you is only one aspect. We have more important things to talk to you.”
As a senior member of the Gattuso family, Alfa had a taste of separation even for Pompeii, but he was very cautious in using words in front of Caesar.
”What's up?”
Caesar frowned. He had been honing himself recently, from a sense of urgency in his heart.
He has a good personal relationship with Chu Zihang, President of lion heart, but he is still an opponent on the surface. Now lion heart club has completely overwhelmed the student union, which is unacceptable to the proud Caesar.
And he is also dissatisfied with personal force.
Once he was very casual, but recently he often went out of the task of the execution department to sharpen his fighting level.
”The king of the sky and the wind has awakened. We hope it will be you who killed him.”
Alpha's tone was flat, as if he were telling a little thing.
Caesar laughed sarcastically. ”It's easy for ancestors to say?”
He never belittles himself, but he will not be arrogant. Four early species have fallen, and the college has gradually found out the fighting power of the monarchs. That is not the opponent he can defeat alone.
”Caesar, you don't know yourself, just as you don't know your family. We are destined to be the heirs of the world. The great soul of Gattuso family is doomed to immortality.”
Alpha's voice was low.
Caesar teased, ”I didn't know we were so powerful.”
There was an invisible flash of anger in alpha's eyes, but his voice was calm and soft, ”Caesar, we are an ancient family. We inherit the great will, which is our common responsibility. You should gradually understand and accept all this. In the future, your father's position will be next to me, and then your position will be next to your father. We can become God, we can be immortal, and our glory will last forever.”
The disgust in Caesar's eyes could no longer be covered up. ”Become a mummy like you?”
Anger finally rose in the eyes of several old people, but it was silent under alpha's eyes.
”Caesar, my dear child, when you become the owner of the house, you will take over the huge industry of Gattuso's family... Much larger than the world thinks.”
”Oh -” Caesar sneered, ”is it bigger than the secret party?”
Alpha was silent and did not directly answer Caesar's question, ”... You will have the greatest rights and freedom in the world in the future. The master of Gattuso's family will be the master of the world. There is no opponent except the black master.”
Alfa's words stunned Caesar. He couldn't believe that the old man could say such ”arrogant” words.
The other party's tone was calm and came slowly, as if he were describing ordinary facts.
But what alpha said was enough for the secret party to rush in and hang him!
”I'm not interested in those, let alone the 'industry' of any family, the master of the world? Don't make me laugh. Are you calling yourself a new dragon family?”
Caesar's mouth was sarcastic. ”I like the headmaster's motto very much. All dragons, whether born or self appointed, are enemies.”
Alpha looked at the other old men. ”It's still too early, but Caesar, you'll understand.”
He paused. ”As for the king of the sky and the wind, the family will help you get the glory you deserve. This Nibelungen plan will belong to you.”
Caesar's face was expressionless. ”How is the family going to help me kill the wind king?”
He also seized the opportunity to explore the low of the family.
Alpha said: ”Chu Zihang and painted pear clothes are very strong, but one has an upper limit after all, and the other is not comparable with you. What you lack is the record of killing the Dragon King. After the fall of the wind king, there will be no family opponent in the world...”
Caesar was about to ridicule the ignorant and rampant elder, but alpha's words suddenly stopped, and Caesar was stunned.
In this hall, all of a sudden, everyone was silent. The faces of the twelve old people were no longer ancient wells without waves, but trembling and uncertain.
”Ha ha ha...”
Caesar suddenly laughed wildly, ”no wonder, no wonder, I always feel strange recently...”
With a mocking smile on his lips, he looked at the twelve uncertain old men, ”there is no rival in the family? You should have remembered someone just now?”
The old people fell into silence.
