There were no many words, only tightly clasped hands and complex emotions surging in their eyes.
Subsequently, Sakurai Kogure, leader of the Oni Clan, and "Genjiki" jointly issued a statement:
The truth is revealed: the Oni have been manipulated and used by Herzog (the King) for a long time. It is announced that the Oni will cease all their search for and resurrection of the White King.
Lu Mingfei also made a timely statement, promising to help the members of the Fierce Ghost Clan stabilize their bloodlines in the future (after his bloodline advances).
Chapter 152 Gather together!
Almost at the same time, on the other side of the world.
In a dimly lit, highly secure room.
Hilbert Jean Angers sat in a large leather chair, in front of five LCD screens that shimmered with cold light, displaying the blurry yet imposing figures of five members of the Kassel College Board of Trustees.
"Angers, what information did you get from meeting Lu Mingfei? And what is the background of that Erii?" An old and dignified voice came from the main screen.
Angers leaned back in his chair, relaxed, but his eyes were sharp as an eagle's.
He avoided the core questions about Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei's plan, and instead dropped a bombshell:
"Intelligence? There's something you might be more interested in: Herzog, whom Lu Mingfei has already dealt with, his true identity... is probably inextricably linked to some of the families present here, isn't it?"
The image on the screen rippled instantly, like water rippled after a pebble was thrown in.
Silence, a repressive and dangerous silence, filled the sealed room.
“Angers, watch your words!” another cold voice warned.
“I’m just stating the facts,” Angers said without backing down, a hint of mockery playing on his lips.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, filled with silent confrontation and suspicion.
Ultimately, this crucial video conference ended in a cold and unpleasant atmosphere.
A notification sound indicating that communication has been cut off was heard.
In the shadowy corner of the secret room, another encrypted communication channel was quickly established.
The Gattuso family representative spoke in a low, urgent voice: "The plan has been exposed."
On the other end of the communication, a similarly somber response came from the representative of the North Owwuff family:
"Notify the Chen family that the deployment of the 'key' and 'container' must be accelerated immediately! We have no time!"
……
As dusk falls in Tokyo, the city lights begin to twinkle and a light snowfall begins.
The silhouette of the Genji Heavy Industries building resembles a towering black giant against the night and snow, but what truly catches the eye is the strange "landscape" surrounding the building.
"Wow...this is truly...breathtaking!" Su Enxi exclaimed in genuine amazement as she looked at the scene before her.
Within a radius of several hundred meters around the Genji Heavy Industries building, the cafes, convenience stores, restaurants, sidewalks, and small squares along the street were densely packed with well-dressed young girls!
They were dressed in various fashionable winter clothes, with exquisite makeup, as if they were participating in a grand beauty pageant, but their eyes were all focused on the tightly closed gates of Genji Heavy Industries.
The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, could not dispel the burning anticipation in their eyes—anticipation of a fleeting glimpse of the "immortal."
"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant and vulgar women! Dreaming of climbing up to the boss? Keep dreaming!" Mai Shude stood with her arms crossed in the shadows of a relatively quiet street corner a little further away, her cold and beautiful face full of disdain and displeasure.
Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang stood close together next to "Potato Chip Girl" and "Ninja Girl," staring at the scene before them—a spectacle resembling a massive fan meeting yet utterly absurd. Both were speechless for a long time.
"This...is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Su Xiaoqiang murmured, her voice filled with disbelief.
Liu Miaomiao nodded with difficulty: "It's truly... astonishing."
Su Xiaoqiang snapped out of her reverie and frowned as she looked at the noticeably stronger security at the entrance of Genji Heavy Industries.
"Seriously, how are we supposed to get in? There are so many people blocking the way, are we just going to have to force our way in?"
“Simple.” Mai Shude said calmly, “Use my Word of Power ‘Netherworld Illumination’ to lead you in.”
"Sneak in?" Su Xiaoqiang immediately objected, raising her voice several decibels. "Why do we have to sneak around? Ling was carried in by Lu Mingfei himself!" Her words were filled with obvious dissatisfaction and a hint of jealousy.
Su Enxi patted her shoulder and explained helplessly:
"Xiao Su, calm down. Think about it. If the boss personally comes out to pick you up and takes you inside in front of everyone... tsk tsk, what a scene that would be."
“Then tomorrow it won’t just be girls from Tokyo coming. I’m afraid every girl in the world who thinks she’s even a little bit pretty will flock here like bees to the scent of flowers to try her luck, right? Are you sure you want that kind of ‘spectacle’?” She pointed to the sea of people outside.
Although what he said made sense, Su Xiaoqiang still felt a nameless anger in her heart. Why was the treatment so different?
Liu Miaomiao watched from the side, secretly glad that she had acted early enough; otherwise, in this fiercely competitive situation, where would she have a place?
at this time……
"Huh?" Su Enxi exclaimed softly.
In the distance, a group of six people walked towards them, with Lu Mingfei leading the way.
He was accompanied by Erii, Natsumi, Zero, as well as Genjiro and Chu Zihang, and they looked like they had just returned from outside.
Lu Mingfei's steps barely faltered, his gaze piercing through the crowd and the snowstorm, locking onto the street corner where they were.
He smiled slightly and led the five people behind him straight toward them.
"Ah! It's Immortal Lu!"
"He's out!"
"Look this way! Immortal Lu!"
The girls around them instantly erupted in a deafening roar of screams, filled with excitement and fervor!
However, when Lu Mingfei's gaze swept lightly across the crowd, the invisible pressure was like a bucket of ice water being poured down, and all the screams were instantly silenced as if they had been choked.
Countless eyes could only watch helplessly as Lu Mingfei ignored everyone and walked purposefully towards Su Enxi and the others.
"What brings you here?" Lu Mingfei asked with a smile as he looked at the group of four in front of him.
Su Xiaoqiang immediately pouted, pointed to the exaggerated "sea of people" around her, and said angrily:
"Come and see your 'selection of concubines' ceremony! Lord Lu, you look so majestic!"
Lu Mingfei chuckled, took a step closer, and deliberately lowered his voice to tease her:
"Oh, is Consort Su... jealous?"
"Pah! Who's your beloved concubine! Who's jealous!" Su Xiaoqiang retorted immediately, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiang's reaction, Lu Mingfei found it quite amusing.
He turned his gaze to Liu Miaomiao, his tone softening considerably:
"Miaomiao, have you settled Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu in?"
Liu Miaomiao nodded obediently, her voice soft:
"Yes, we've already told them we're coming to Japan for a while."
"That's good." Lu Mingfei replied, then his gaze fell on Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "What about you two? Why did you come along too?"
"Reporting, Boss!" Su Enxi immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, "Of course, we are on the important mission of protecting the safety of your two 'beloved concubines'..."
Before she could finish speaking, a figure darted between her and Lu Mingfei like lightning!
It's Xia Mi!
Like a kitten guarding its food, she forcefully separated Su Enxi, then silently stood in front of Lu Mingfei, glaring warily at Su Enxi and Jiu De Mai.
Xia Mi knew perfectly well what those two women were up to!
They simply wanted to take advantage of Lu Mingfei's personal arrival to bring them into Genji Heavy Industries in public, so that outsiders would mistakenly believe that they were also Lu Mingfei's women!
Otherwise, given Jiu De Mai's "illumination" ability, they would have already slipped in silently. Why would they be waiting here?
"Ouch!" Su Enxi stumbled from Xia Mi's movements, then put her hands on her hips in annoyance. "Little Xia Mi, are you so possessive of your food? I'm not going to take it from you!"
Xia Mi just snorted, her little face tense.
Lu Mingfei looked at the little drama of "jealousy" in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and was too lazy to pay attention to these petty thoughts.
"Alright, stop fooling around." He raised his hand and waved it gently at the crowd.
hum!
A gentle yet incredibly powerful invisible force instantly spread out, precisely enveloping the seven girls—Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang, Su Enxi, Jiude Mai, Erii, Xia Mi, and Ling—along with the two men, Yuan Zhisheng and Chu Zihang, a total of ten people!
The next second, under the gaze of countless shocked, envious, and even insanely jealous eyes below, the group of ten, lifted by an invisible force field, lifted off the ground lightly and steadily, as if defying the laws of physics!
The wind and snow howled around them, while the dazzling night view of Tokyo unfolded beneath their feet.
Lu Mingfei took the lead, guiding this peculiar "sightseeing group" through the night sky in an elegant arc, steadily flying over the bustling streets below, and landing directly at the entrance to the observation deck on the upper floors of the Genji Heavy Industries Building.
It was as if immortals were returning from a nighttime stroll with their families.
Chapter 153 Lu Mingfei, you look so cute.
When the invisible force field controlled by Lu Mingfei carried the ten people steadily to the spacious observation platform on the top floor of Genji Heavy Industries, the street below erupted like a pond with a boulder thrown in, instantly bursting with screams and frenzied shouts that could tear the night sky apart!
"My God! He flew up there with them!"
"Is that an immortal?!"
"I'm so envious!!"
Countless eyes followed their figures as they disappeared into the entrance leading into the building.
This breathtaking scene of "immortals and immortals traveling together" is destined to become headline material for global media in the coming months, igniting more unrealistic fantasies.
However, the atmosphere in the warm lounge area on the top floor was quite different from the frenzy below, even carrying a somewhat cold and awkward feel.
As soon as Lu Mingfei removed the aura that enveloped everyone, Xia Mi immediately darted back to his side like a bird returning to its nest, cleverly blocking Su Enxi's path as she tried to approach.
Erii instinctively moved closer to Lu Mingfei, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.
Ling walked silently to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, her icy blue eyes calmly watching the still noisy "selection of concubines" scene below, as if watching a farce that had nothing to do with her.
Liu Miaomiao and Su Xiaoqiang stood there awkwardly, neither of them looking too happy.
Although they were indeed brought in "personally" by Lu Mingfei this time, and the scene was even more grand than Zero's (he brought nine people at once!), the difference was like a blinding light.
Zero was taken away by Lu Mingfei from the sky, in the most intimate "princess carry" posture under the spotlight!
