Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 90

While Genjiro is reasonable and considerate of others, he is not as extreme as Uesugi Kotsu, but it is inevitable that he will dislike Lu Mingfei.

Erii had too many marks on her body. The other party must have taken advantage of Erii. Although it was understandable from the perspective of the other party being a doctor, Erii trusted this kid so much. He was really... The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

No matter how understanding he was, he couldn't avoid this frustration, because Erii really was his younger sister.

Erii happily took Genjiro's phone, and after Genjiro turned to leave and closed the door, she dialed the phone number she remembered.

But the phone rang for only a moment before the call was disconnected.

Erii looked puzzled by the situation, so she dialed again and checked the number again to make sure she hadn't dialed the wrong number.

However, the second call was quickly disconnected.

Unconvinced, Erii dialed the number again, only to have it quickly hung up.

Erii's face immediately showed a hint of confusion. What should she do if Lu Mingfei wasn't answering his phone? Was he busy with something else?

She called Lu Mingfei, not only because she wanted to go out with him again, but also because she wanted to tell him the information she had heard from Uesugi Kotsugi—that the Snake Clan and Japan were destined to perish, and that the White King would soon be resurrected.

She wanted to tell Lu Mingfei the news so that it would be safer for him to leave Japan... but Lu Mingfei didn't answer the phone three times, leaving her at a loss.

She was confused for a moment, then tried again, and this time the call finally went through.

……

On the other side, Lu Mingfei's phone rang as he picked up the person at the seaside ferry and entered Tokyo.

The system took out the phone and saw an unknown number without a name in the contacts; it was a Japanese phone number...

The system first hung up the phone, then hung up again when it called back, and it wasn't until the fourth time that the call was finally answered.

It finally connected, but there was no sound, and no sound came from the other end of the phone... There was still sound, but it wasn't Erii's soft, quiet Japanese; it was just a soft breathing sound.

The system didn't speak until about ten seconds later, when the call ended.

Xia Mi, who was driving, turned around and looked at Lu Mingfei, who was silently communicating, and asked, "Boss Lu, who made this call?"

"After dialing four times in a row and then remaining silent after the call connected, it's most likely Erii." The system removed the SIM card but didn't throw it away; instead, it put it in its pocket.

The phone number Erii contacted is likely being monitored by the Snake Clan. To be on the safe side, it's definitely not safe to continue using it for now.

Locating a phone call by listening in on it is difficult for ordinary people, but for a behemoth like the Snake Clan, it's a piece of cake.

The phone number prepared for Erii became worthless after the call was connected.

However, it's not entirely without value. The system plans to keep it, since it's the number from the first call with Erii. It might still be useful if Lu Mingfei can openly appear later.

Humans are creatures of nostalgia, and the system will keep these items that might evoke nostalgia, just in case they come in handy someday when things are almost beyond repair.

Looking at the system analysis log, Lu Mingfei was speechless. Although he refused the system's request to abduct the easily fooled, half-mad girl, he did not remove her from the system's task objectives.

Out of pity for Erii, and not wanting to constantly monitor the system analysis logs for fear of errors, he added a note to Erii's name in the system tasks. As a result, the system's analysis concluded that Erii still had a "possibility"...

"Why didn't you guys say a word the whole time?" Xia Mi asked.

"Isn't Erii unable to speak?" the system said.

"Oh, I remember now. Erii used Judgment to cover your escape, and she probably destroyed the Alchemy Matrix."

Chapter 123 White King? !

"Thank you, brother."

After taking the phone back from Erii, Genji put it in his pocket without even glancing at it. Only after walking out the door did he take it out and check the call history.

Erii wasn't that foolish; she deleted the call log after making the call, since there was no recent call history.

"If it's deleted, it's deleted," Yuan Zhisheng said expressionlessly, putting his phone back in his pocket.

Handing the phone over to a professional might recover the phone number Erii deleted, but Genji knows that Erii hates nothing more than having no personal space.

Because that means losing even the last bit of freedom.

Crow, Yaksha, and Sakura followed behind their young master, thinking he would go back to sleep or work overtime. However, Genjiro went up to the rooftop of Genji Heavy Industries, while they were left to guard the rooftop entrance.

They weren't worried that their young master might do something rash and jump off the building; they silently guarded the door for him. In their minds, their young master must be very troubled right now.

The Snake Clan is acting very strangely now. They don't know the full picture, but they can see the strange things that have happened in the clan these past few days.

Genjiro arrived at the rooftop, where the vast city of Tokyo lay before him. As the future leader of the Snake Clan and the future kingpin of the Japanese underworld, an ambitious man like him might be excited to stand in this position, but Genjiro simply had nothing to say.

"Emperor"—what a powerful word, yet it carries a deadly burden. The character "White" above "King" perfectly complements the name "White King," subtly alluding to the White King's powerful lineage.

Genjiro always knew that the White King bloodline came at a price; the proportion of dangerous hybrids was far greater than in other dragon blood families. Only when a demon appeared among his relatives did he understand that kind of pain...

However, Genjiro never expected that the higher percentage of demons was just interest, not involving a single bit of the principal. The principal was yet to come; the revival of the White King's remains was the main event.

"What do you think the young master is thinking right now?" Yaksha asked Crow and Sakura.

Like Genjiro, Sakura was used to being indifferent to the outside world, so she didn't speak.

But Crow wasn't the kind of person to be indifferent. After taking a deep drag of his cigarette, he said, "I feel there's a 50% chance that the young master is blaming himself for not being strong enough to help the family out of its predicament."

The three of them were unaware of the White King's affairs, but the Snake Clan was already facing numerous difficulties. The young master rarely spoke much and simply focused on getting things done.

In the past two days, Tachibana Masamune has started to hand over some matters involving the power of the patriarch to Genjiro. Crow doesn't know if Tachibana Masamune has been threatened by the recently emerged young master Genjiro and the biological father of Uesugi Erii, the head of the Uesugi family—Uesugi Etsushi. However, Genjiro did make his own choice; he chose to take up the pen.

Based on the crow's assessment of Genjiro, their young master must want to do things well once he takes over the pen. The biggest problem among the many predicaments of the Snake Clan is only one thing—insufficient strength.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of strength, which is why they need to feign compliance and quietly develop their abilities.

After all, the Snake Clan was already quite low-key, and their sphere of influence was almost entirely confined to the four main islands of Japan. They didn't need to be low-key at all.

“Hmm, the young master is indeed that kind of person. Sakura, you are the closest to the young master. Why don’t you go and persuade him to stop blaming himself? After all, one person’s strength is limited. If the young master could solve the predicament of our Snake-Headed Eight Families by himself, then the young master would not be Amaterasu, but Amaterasu Omikami herself.”

Yasha turned to Sakura, who looked like a young girl, and said this.

Sakura and the young master have the same personality; they are both the kind of people who work hard without saying a word.

However, the idea of ​​the young master saving the Snake Clan by himself seems incredibly risky. It seems impossible for the young master to intervene in the inhuman battles fought by Erii and the Uesugi family patriarch... The legendary Destiny Blessing, which was once so admirable and respectable, has now succumbed to an even more powerful being.

Sakura glanced at the two of them, then remained silent, speechless.

……

Knowing that Erii called, but not knowing where she is, what should you do? For the system, it's best to just go to her house.

I habitually choose a dark night, after all, as the saying goes, "A dark night is for murder, and a windy night is for arson."

With the light of the underworld activated, guess the location, and smoothly enter Genji Heavy Industries, arriving at the floor where Erii is located.

Although there aren't many people here normally, the numerous security cameras in the corridor are not just for show. However, there's no need for the system to act recklessly. Standing in front of the alloy door that resembles a vault, I gently knocked on it.

With Erii's hearing, she would definitely be able to hear it.

After knocking several times, a similarly gentle knocking echoed from behind the alloy door.

After confirming each other's identities several times, Erii happily left another note and packed her things.

After she knocked twice more, the system used its Samadhi Fire to unlock the alloy door.

The Snake-Headed Eight Family seems to have failed to learn from Erii's successful escape from home last time, and has not implemented smart monitoring of their door.

Erii skipped out carrying her toys, and Genji Heavy Industries didn't immediately become noisy.

Half a minute later, someone rushed in and pushed open Erii's room... but the room was already empty, with only another note left behind saying she had run away from home: "Brother, Erii has run away from home, but she will come back!"

The Genji Heavy Industries immediately became bustling with activity, as the members of the Snake-Headed Eight Families frantically searched for the Uesugi family patriarch, who had only returned three days prior and had already run away from home again...

On the rooftop, Yuan Zhisheng was still enjoying the breeze when someone ran up to look for him, but was stopped by the crows guarding the entrance to the rooftop.

"Young Master is contemplating life up there. What brings you here?" Crow thought this person was looking for Genjiro.

Upon hearing that the young master was on the rooftop, the security guard stammered, "The head of the Uesugi family... she's run away from home again..."

"Huh?" The three crows looked at each other in surprise.

Two hours ago, their young master came out of the Uesugi family head's room... and he disappeared two hours later?

This left Yuan Zhisheng speechless. He had just made a phone call two hours ago, and then immediately ran away. The speed of his actions was simply too fast.

"Young Master, what should we do?" the crow asked.

"Send someone to look for it." Genji said expressionlessly, as if he didn't care about the matter.

On the rooftop, he was mainly thinking about the White King. Uesugi Kotsu had told him the location of the Abyss and about the Oni Clan's research on the deep sea.

He kept pondering what choice to make: should he simply eliminate the Oni Clan, or should he strike first and deal with the White King, perhaps by dropping a nuclear bomb to see if he could eliminate the debt that the Snake-Headed Eight Families had carried for thousands of years, along with their creditors?

This is the real problem facing the Snake-Headed Eight Families. And Erii, the problems the Snake-Headed Eight Families couldn't solve were solved by outsiders; the freedom the Snake-Headed Eight Families couldn't give her, outsiders could.

As a member of the underworld, Genjiro was used to seeing the love stories of immature teenagers.

The delinquent boys saved up to buy the things their families wouldn't buy for the girls, and wasn't that enough to win their hearts?

From a mature person's perspective, it's a huge loss. The things the girl gave the delinquent boy could be sold outside and sold for ten times the price of what the delinquent boy bought for the girl...

However, Erii's situation cannot be simply calculated in this way. What Erii wants is something that the Snake-Headed Eight Family cannot give her even if they try their best.

And the Snake Clan is in such a situation now... Erii's good relationship with him might not be a bad thing.

……

The turmoil at Genji Heavy Industries did not affect Erii and Lu Mingfei. They drove down the stairs smoothly in their car, walked out of the main gate of Genji Heavy Industries openly, got into their car, and drove away.

"Where are you planning to go?" Lu Mingfei asked Erii as he drove.

Erii wrote: "I don't know."

She then wrote: "The alchemical matrix inside Erii's body has broken."

"Oh, you can just put it back together."

It was a bit unexpected, but understandable, that Erii would contact him again so quickly.

The last time Erii suddenly didn't want to play anymore and wanted to go back, it was because she was worried that her brother and the others would worry about her, so she went back first to put their minds at ease.

It's normal for someone to go back and explain that they were safe after running away, and then come out again.

Lu Mingfei continued driving, but Erii in the back was writing something. After a while, she handed Lu Mingfei a note.

Lu Mingfei took the package while driving with one hand, and after just one glance, he was stunned by its contents.

“Dad told my brother that Japan was very dangerous because the White King was about to be resurrected, and Japan and the family would definitely perish. He hoped to take us away from Japan to Europe or Central Asia, which would be better than staying in Japan to be buried with the dead.”

It's one thing for Erii to suddenly have a father; it's normal for a living person to have parents. But the news that the White King is about to be resurrected really stunned Lu Mingfei.
