114 monkeys
Before regaining his memories, Norton lived as Ronald Don.
A few months ago, he accepted a five-million-dollar commission on a hunter website under the alias Indiana Downs. First, he was to act as a woman's servant, making a fool of himself in front of everyone; then, he had to navigate a route clearly designed for him, personally awakening his brother, Constantine.
When he fled Kassel College, he witnessed people clearing metal from the square, followed by large amounts of water vapor; after escaping, he crashed into Lu Mingfei's car and was brought back.
It's a series of interconnected events. The killing of his brother Constantine was clearly premeditated, but what about Norton himself? Did Kassel College also orchestrate Norton's death?
Was his meeting with Lu Mingfei a coincidence? That day on the highway, Lu Mingfei seemed unaware beforehand that he was Norton…
No, thinking about it is useless now. Norton snorted coldly. Constantine is dead, and he will make all the humans involved pay for his brother's death.
Two thousand years have passed. Two thousand years ago, Constantine had just left his sight when he was tricked and killed by humans. Two thousand years later, Constantine was still killed before he could regain his memories.
Two thousand years ago, he was defeated by Liu Xiu. Now, is he going to be defeated by Lu Mingfei again?
Humanity is progressing, and so is Norton!
Norton turned on his computer and opened an email with the subject line: "[Entering Baidi City with Ease]".
Ignoring the initial flattery, I scrolled down to a very simple route map. This route map did indeed avoid the monitoring points, consistent with the observation reports in the other emails. However, this route was a dead end, abruptly ending midway.
Norton felt that this hunter shouldn't be so careless. He tested the man's understanding of the Word of Power of the Earth and Mountain King lineage. Based on the knowledge the man revealed, Norton judged that he might have the strength of a next-generation species.
Continuing to look, sure enough, the end point of the route map was marked in reality as a large, fallen tree. Beneath the tree was a passage leading directly above Baidi City; this hunter had actually dug an underground tunnel with his own hands!
What an astonishing amount of earthwork! Humanity truly is a place where hidden talents abound!
Unexpectedly, among humans, besides myself who had lost my memory and Lu Mingfei, whose species I didn't know, there was such a talent.
Norton nodded in satisfaction, his resolve to bring this useful hunter under his wing strengthened.
He used the five million dollars that Old Tang had earned from completing the mission to pay the bounty.
In the chat room:
"I'm satisfied with the result you provided. As previously agreed, I've transferred $50,000 to your account. After I verify it, if there are no problems, the remaining $500,000 will also be transferred to you."
"Thank you, boss! You're so generous!"
"What I said before still stands. I haven't met a mixed-race person as qualified as you in a long time. I need more people under me, so come work for me."
"Really? That's wonderful! I've always been a fan of yours, and I've followed all the missions you've taken on! Where are you? I can't wait to meet my idol!"
Let's meet again after we've finished dealing with these recent matters.
"When you're done, please don't forget to tell me your address!"
Hmph~ Humans x2
Norton closed the chat room; he'd seen plenty of worshippers like this. After all, he was the King of Bronze and Fire, and he was never short of followers. Even if this potential follower was the most talented in history, he'd only leave him with a slightly good impression at most.
For the past few months, Norton had been contemplating a plan to take revenge on humanity. Initially, he wanted to ignore everything and go directly to White Emperor City to respawn and hatch a new body. However, he quickly rejected this plan because Constantine had died the same way. If he hadn't hatched the body in advance, the two of them might have perished together at Kassel College that night.
Norton suspected his home was being monitored, but he had to go there, for it was his Nibelungen. There, slumbered, lay the next generation, his loyal servant Samson, whom only he could awaken!
He doesn't need to force a fusion with Samson, as that would expose his human form's weakness. Zhulong, the world-destroying spirit, isn't in a hurry to release it immediately.
The best method is to enter the Bronze City yourself, obtain the Seven Deadly Sins, forge a set of alchemical weapons and armor for Samson, and have him clear the way to wipe out the people from Kassel College. Then, take him to some deserted island in the middle of a desert or the Pacific Ocean, use his body as a sacrifice, and allow him to re-egg up, accelerating the growth of a gigantic dragon body.
In this way, he can wake up and release the Candle Dragon in just a few months!
Norton silently memorized the route and drove Old Tang's secondhand Ford to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

"It's March 16th, 2010, the first day of 'Project Bronze.' I'm Captain Manstein, and this is my twelfth captain's log of this voyage," Professor Manstein said into the recorder. "It's 03 PM now. Underwater Operations Teams A and B took turns probing the collapsed White Emperor City this morning and afternoon, but they couldn't find a suitable entrance. Lu Mingfei wanted to use his Word of Power to blast a path open, but I stopped him because that could cause an underwater earthquake. Now they're off to have barbecue."
"You didn't even take me with you!" Selma chimed in from the side.
"Are you going to be a third wheel?" Manstein asked.
"I have a feeling something's wrong with them; they're definitely hiding something from us." Selma frowned; her intuition was usually very accurate.
"Two couples going on a date, what's wrong with that? But this is the last time," Manstein said. "We can't be this lax during the mission."
"Is it really okay not to bring Selma?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"The kind of person she is, her love radar is on 24/7, scanning non-stop," Nono said. "If she were with us, she would find out in a minute that Caesar and I broke up."
He nodded at midnight.
The four of them arrived at the cabin where they had barbecued the day before, and were all stunned by what they saw.
Everything was tidied up, but not in the way it was when they left. The drinks and food in the boxes were all empty; someone had eaten the food after they left!
Everyone was horrified. In this desolate wilderness, was someone watching them all along? But why were they eating their food?
Nono walked around and looked around, and concluded: "The person who ate weighed less than 100 pounds, was very agile, and crossed the entire forest, accidentally discovering this place."
Caesar's eyes lit up: "Monkeys! Monkeys introduced to the scenic area!"
"Monkeys don't use charcoal," Zero said, picking up a coin from the grill, "nor do they pay."
"One yuan?" Lu Mingfei saw the coin. "Only one yuan?"
"A very valuable one-yuan coin," Ling said, spreading the coin out in his palm for the three to see. "It's a 2000 error coin without the number 2 printed on it."
