Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 551 Old Bunin's Request

"I said I know you guys." Bunin raised his red wine glass. "A guy I hate told me that you are the Eternal Burning Eye Mage. In fact, I also know that you have been hunted for a long time. The Romanov family asked me for help, but I refused. I also know that the explosion at that port was caused by you."

Bunin did know a lot, but it was all fragmentary, connected together by Vincent von Ludwig.

Before this, he didn't know the identities of Chu Zihang and his group.

Chu Zihang nodded and chewed in small sips.

Susie said nothing the whole time.

They both were a little confused about their current status, prisoners? Or something else?

This Alexander Bunin was very strange. He showed respect to Chu Zihang but was also wary of him.

A long-lasting manhunt ends with a strange "invitation".

Chu Zihang had no other choice but to come and see Bunin's manor and avoid the academy's pursuit at the same time.

I wanted to go back to Black Swan Harbor and wait for Lu Mingfei and the others to return and meet up, but it was really difficult. Either the academy blocked my way or some inexplicable people blocked my way.

Bunin continued, "I have always wanted to meet mixed-bloods from other places. If I had known your situation earlier, I would not have rejected the invitation of the Romanov family."

Chu Zihang was still eating by himself. He received no response to Bunin's invitation to raise his glass, but he didn't care and continued drinking alone with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry to invite you to the manor in this way." Bunin said, "At the same time, I apologize for the behavior of my men. They hunted you down without my permission. It's my fault for not disciplining you strictly."

Chu Zihang put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and asked, "What is your purpose in looking for us?"

Bu Ning was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Zihang to be so direct.

His face was full of wrinkles, and when he smiled, the wrinkles became deeper.

He was indeed very old, an old Bunin.

"I hope you can do me a favor," said old Bunin.

"We don't know you." Chu Zihang said.

"Don't we know each other now? Mr. Chu, Miss Su." Old Bunin called.

Chu Zihang did not tell Buning his own name, he only gave them their surnames.

Old Bunin did not pursue these issues.

Chu Zihang rarely deliberately dealt with anyone, he lacked experience in this area. Compared to wasting time with Bunin, he was better at...slashing with a knife.

"If you are willing to do me this favor, I can give you a corresponding gift in return. I know you are avoiding being hunted down. Although it sounds like bragging, I can indeed guarantee your safety. No one can hurt you in this manor." Old Bunin began to talk about the reward: "If you don't want to stay here, I can also send people to protect you and provide enough weapons."

"Since you know that we are from Kassel College, you should be very clear that the guys chasing us are not ordinary people." Chu Zihang said.

Old Bunin nodded in agreement. "Yes, even I was surprised. I didn't notice the movement in Black Swan Port until it was over. I went there not long ago. I am a weapons dealer, so I can guess what kind of powerful weapons were used in that war."

"Have you been to Black Swan Port?" Chu Zihang focused on the point, "What's going on there? Is there anyone else there?"

"Yes." Bunin said, "The Russian military has sent people to garrison there, and the soldiers are very energetic."

Chu Zihang didn't get the answer he wanted, but that was normal. The academy would not fail to deal with the post-war situation.

Even if Lu Mingfei was alive, he might not return to Black Swan Harbor.

The beginning of the route is there. It will definitely be easier to search around Black Swan Harbor than it is now.

This is how Chu Zihang judged.

"What do you think, Mr. Chu? You can treat this as a deal. If you feel the deal is not equal, we can still talk about it." Old Bunin had nothing more to say.

As he himself said, he is a businessman who sells arms, and businessmen know very well that transactions are based on demand.

He didn't know what Chu Zihang really needed. No matter how much he said, it would be better to let the other party speak for himself.

Chu Zihang's eyes wandered around the restaurant as he pondered over what old Bunin had said.

The Romanovs had sought his help, which meant that Zero thought this man could be of help.

Judging from the previous battles, the weapons that Old Bunin possessed were not bad and could produce decent firepower, but they were just ordinary ammunition and he had no alchemical weapons.

But now we are not slaying dragons, but competing with the academy and the hybrids. It would be better if we have alchemical weapons, but if not, enough conventional weapons will do.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Chu Zihang heard the most critical ability from Old Bunin’s words: intelligence.

Old Bunin knows a lot of things. Although they are superficial information without in-depth information, they are enough to illustrate his control over and understanding of Russia.

Maybe we can rely on Old Bunin to find Lu Mingfei, Ling, and... Xia Mi.

"I need you to help me find a few people." Chu Zihang said.

Old Bunin was very smart and asked directly: "Is it the princess of the Romanov family? And your partner?"

"you know?"

"I can roughly guess. I know that the battle at Black Swan Harbor was very tragic. Although I have never seen the princess, I know very well that she will definitely be a Russian." Old Bunin pointed at Susie, "Miss Su is obviously not Russian."

"You are very smart." Susie said, "like an old fox."

"Hahaha." Old Bunin laughed forcedly, "Mr. Chu, Ms. Su, is this the only thing you want? Then I think you can relax. It's easy for me to find a few people."

"We don't know yet what you need us to help you with." Chu Zihang said.

"Help me solve a problem." Old Bunin stopped smiling and said seriously, "Or rather, help me kill someone."

"Who?"

"My boss." Old Bunin sighed, "This is not something I can do, but I believe Kassel College can do it."

"Who is he?" Chu Zihang asked.

Old Bunin shook his head. "I don't know. I've never met him, but I can confirm that what he did would be of interest to you."

Susie didn't understand and asked, "Why did you kill your boss?"

"Maybe, I want to embrace freedom." Old Bunin said, "I'm old, it's hard for you to not understand my feelings. Maybe it's not to kill him, maybe it's to figure out some things."

"I can promise you, but you have to find our partners first." Chu Zihang said seriously.

Susie nodded in understanding, even though she knew very well that she and Chu Zihang had no qualifications to report to the academy at the moment.

"Sure!" Old Bunin agreed immediately: "I believe in Mr. Chu's character. After all, Mr. Chu trusts me too. Mr. Chu, I'm curious, have you ever worried that I would give your information to your enemies?"

"Then you didn't have to invite me here."
