Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 135

A voice came from outside the door: "The patriarch said that no one is allowed to go in and disturb the head of the Uesugi family."

"Then let me ask you, who is your patriarch?"

"Yuan Zhisheng."

"Is Genjiro under the jurisdiction of our Kassel College? Am I part of the Kassel College's management? Then let me ask you, are my orders of higher priority or rank than Genjiro's..."

"But you really can't go in..."

"Tell me your position, your lineage, your sorcery, and what gives you the right to stop us?"

"I'm doing this for the good of our leaders," the person blocking the way from Kassel College said in a low voice. "The Uesugi family head's bloodline is very unstable. If he gets excited or opens his mouth, it might cause the power of judgment to overflow..."

Upon hearing that Erii's Word of Power was uncontrollable, the outside immediately fell silent.

The description of the power of judgment is often extremely pale and weak because it is so rare that it may not occur for many years, so there are not many detailed records.

All we know is that this super-powerful word of power is very strong and powerful, but we don't have a specific number.

However, after Kassel College intervened in these two rounds of battles in Japan, the power of the trial has become tangible. Just looking at the battle record, it is terrifyingly strong and invincible.

Thousands of corpse guards and hundreds of elite specialists from Kassel College were reduced to cold, hard figures for compensation during the trial…

Given the Equipment Department's tendency to abandon aircraft pilots before the White King's birth, they will undoubtedly reconsider their decision upon hearing this news.

The goalkeeper's words successfully calmed the restless crowd, and he even took a few steps back when facing the alloy gate.

"Mr. Lu, based on the comparison between the Uesugi family head and Minamoto no Chizuru's brain CT scan, we can only say that it is suspected or possible. If we want to further confirm the possibility, we need to conduct the next step of left and right brain EEG monitoring to check the activity of the brain waves in both sides."

"Forget it."

The system rejected the doctor's suggestion to conduct further examinations.

Based on the CT scan results, the doctors could only suspect that Lu Mingfei, like Erii and Genji, was a patient who had undergone pontine splitting surgery.

But with Lu Mingfei here, we can directly eliminate any doubts; we don't need further confirmation from the doctor about this possibility.

Besides, even if Lu Mingfei was really affected, so what? Isn't there a system managing his body? The so-called control by the clapper sound is completely ineffective against Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei simply wanted an answer, and now he has received it—Lu Mingfei must have undergone this control surgery when he was very young, before he had any memories of himself.

If it weren't for subsequent brainwashing and memory erasure, then this age would need to be compressed to less than one year old.

As for the reason for this surgery... it would be hurtful to say it out loud.

Upon arriving at Erii's hospital room, the system noticed that there were quite a few people standing at the door.

"they are?"

The system asked the security guard.

“People from Kassel College,” the gatekeeper replied.

The system nodded: "Oh. Open the door, I'll go in and see Erii."

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

The gatekeeper immediately opened the heavy alloy door and let Lu Mingfei in.

"Mr. Lu? Could he be Lu Mingfei?"

The people in the Alchemy Equipment Department of Kassel College saw the goalkeeper treat Lu Mingfei with great respect, and based on the way he addressed him, they vaguely guessed who he was.

The name Lu Mingfei streaked across the mixed-race world like a shooting star, illuminating the path to slaying dragons.

Angers had no intention of keeping the credit for slaying the dragon for himself, and submitted the entire report to the board of directors. However, he erased the existence of the White King's remains, and the death of the Yamata no Orochi was the end result of this White King's resurrection incident.

Otherwise, if this priceless treasure, which is already powerless to resist, is destroyed by their own hands, the school board will surely cause a ruckus if they find out.

However, in the normal report, the Yamata no Orochi's ever-renewing body, Erii's judgment of all things in the world, and even Angers's downfall, all of which were ultimately saved by Lu Mingfei, demonstrate the opponent's strength.

The title of the world's number one mixed-race person has begun to slowly transfer to the young man named Lu Mingfei.

The system went offline, and Lu Mingfei came online.

When Erii saw Lu Mingfei come in, she was at a loss for what to do, unsure of how to face her good friend.

"Didn't Uesugi Koshi and Genji come to see you?"

Lu Mingfei didn't talk about the life-and-death struggle inside the Red Well. Erii herself couldn't control herself at the time, so talking about it was pointless.

When confronted with Lu Mingfei's question, Erii first looked for the sticky note she had left in the ward.

After finding it, while glancing at Lu Mingfei, she wrote: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

After reading the words, Lu Mingfei asked curiously, "You didn't do it on purpose, so was it intentional?"

Erii paused, unsure how to respond.

"Just kidding." Seeing her standing there in a daze, Lu Mingfei quickly said, "Have your brother and the others come to see you?"

"I've been here," Erii wrote honestly.

……

“Genjiro, why don’t you sell the Snake-Headed Eight Families, or mortgage them to Lu Mingfei for a few years? It doesn’t matter who you work for, otherwise how will you pay off these debts?” Uesugi Koshi said as if he had a wild idea. “Look, Lu Mingfei killed the Yamata no Orochi, and he also saved your younger brother and sister. If Lu Mingfei hadn’t appeared in time, the Snake-Headed Eight Families would probably be gone.”

"Now the Snake Clan is in a complete mess. They can't even pay the death benefits. They owe Lu Mingfei so much and they don't pay it back. They even have to borrow some more from him through personal connections to get through the crisis. The problem is, can you even afford to pay back so much?"

"Listen to your father's advice, it's better to get rid of the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

Mortgaging the Sheqi Eight Families to Lu Mingfei for several years... Genji was speechless.

Yuan Zhinu tilted her head and glanced at her biological father, roughly understanding his thoughts: "But now, I'm afraid not many people will buy the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Those demons aren't worth much after they're sold. It's already good enough if we don't even give Lu Mingfei a processing fee... It's indeed a good idea to mortgage the Snake-Headed Eight Families as mercenaries. We can earn more money and pay off the debts as soon as possible."

It's just that I think it's troublesome for my brother to handle the mess left by the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

Lu Mingfei was well aware of his thoughts. Young people starting businesses don't have a reliable team, so they can only rely on stealing people from Japan to develop their team. As a result, he accidentally stole a big one and killed Bai Wang in the process.

Seeing the Snake-Headed Eight Families in dire straits, Lu Mingfei's ambitions grew even stronger... However, Genji also supported Uesugi Kotsugu's idea, since people's time is limited, and Genji had to spend a lot of time managing the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

The ghost that has been a headache for the family can be sold to Lu Mingfei as a way to cut costs and increase revenue. However, reducing the workload does not mean there is no workload. His brother, Yuan Zhisheng, will still be extremely busy.

After a moment of contemplation, Yuan Zhisheng said, "We are the Japanese branch of Kassel College. We can borrow some more money from headquarters."

The Hebi-Hachi family, apart from its members, has really nothing left now. With the Japanese economy nearly collapsing, if the Hebi-Hachi family, which relied heavily on the Japanese economy, were a publicly listed company, they would likely have already gone bankrupt and dissolved due to a broken cash flow.

After Genjiro took power, his actions resulted in the deaths of nearly half of his clan. It's no joke that the death benefits were not being paid out.

Knowing that Lu Mingfei and Su Enxi had made a fortune in Japan, he secretly went to Lu Mingfei to beg for money, and also sold the dangerous mixed-bloods under his family's control to him for some extra cash...

Then they went to Su Enxi to beg for money, but they couldn't get any. They could only ask Su Enxi to postpone the repayment for the next two years. They already owed Su Enxi tens of billions of dollars, and if they borrowed again, it would be tens of billions.

Unless the Snake Clan allows them to take control, there isn't much trust between them.

But after two days, his efforts to make ends meet were still insufficient... Part of the death benefits had been distributed in installments, but the survivors still needed to eat.

In this world, loyalty is paramount. Since his men follow him, Yuan Zhisheng, he cannot allow them to go hungry.

"It's no big deal that the Sheqi Eight Families were mortgaged to Lu Mingfei. Just think of it as a chance to relax and go on vacation for a few years. When you come back in a few years, the Sheqi Eight Families will be fine."

As he spoke, Uesugi Etsushi used his pitiful knowledge to say, "It's like the chairman of the Snake-Headed Eight Families Group has changed, giving control to Lu Mingfei. It's not like you've completely broken away from the Snake-Headed Eight Families, so how could he not change his mind?"

Uesugi was more confident in saying this because, according to the tradition of the Snake Clan, only those with bloodlines from the upper three families could become the patriarch or the Shadow Emperor; otherwise, the highest position they could hold was the head of the Kassel College branch.

But of the three bloodlines, only their family of four remains...

Looking at the old man and the young man, Yuan Zhisheng suspected that they had taken money from Lu Mingfei, and he even wanted to ask them how much they had earned.

Otherwise, how come I, the person in charge, didn't know that Lu Mingfei wanted to take over the Snake Clan? How can you be so sure that Lord Lu has such intentions?

"Master, Mr. Lu Mingfei has gone to visit the head of the Uesugi family in his hospital room."

"understood."

Yuan Zhisheng got up, no longer staying there, and walked out.

"Shall we go see Lu-kun and Erii?" Genji asked Uesugi Kotsugi.

"Go ahead," Uesugi Kotsushi stretched. "I should thank them in person."

"Oh."

Genjiro also got up and followed Erii to her hospital room.

The three arrived at the blocked ward door, but the gatekeeper, even Genjiro, stopped them: "Master, Mr. Lu Mingfei said he is treating Miss Uesugi inside, and he asked me not to let anyone in during this time."

“Okay, I’ll wait.” Yuan Zhisheng nodded.

The people from the Alchemy Equipment Department of Kassel College, who were blocking the door to the ward, immediately asked Genji: "Genji, Gen-kun? Do you remember me? I'm John from the Alchemy Equipment Department of Kassel College!"

By the way, who is this Lu Mingfei? Is he the alchemist who healed Erii?

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Genji shook his head and said the same thing as the goalkeeper.

Seeing how polite these people were to Genjiro, the goalkeeper couldn't help but recall the arrogant way Genjiro had acted when he had carried him out earlier...

Actually, it was someone from the Alchemy Equipment Department who knew Genjiro and witnessed him tear apart the dragon-shaped corpse guardian with his bare hands.

The emperor's majesty is known to be felt far away, but not within five steps. With Genjiro right in front of them, they dared not mess around with the leader of this bunch of lunatics from the Japanese branch.

Chapter 166 System: Taking an Inch, Then a Mile; Steady Progress, No Mercy

Lu Mingfei didn't actually say anything to Erii; after a brief chat, he began to treat her body.

However, in this treatment, Lu Mingfei managed to resolve Erii's bloodline issue by placing an alchemical matrix array plate inside her body and connecting it internally and externally.

Even if she releases the "Judgment" incantation, it won't break through the alchemical matrix; there will only be some delay, as she will need to shut down the alchemical matrix operating within her body first.

With a built-in alchemy matrix array, the inscription process was particularly simple this time.

With this method, the alchemy matrix problem of that large group of ghosts under my command can be solved quickly without taking too much time.

While getting dressed, Erii cautiously asked, "Lu Mingfei, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"

Lu Mingfei immediately understood what the girl was thinking; she was probably still feeling guilty because the girl had hurt her.

"Hmm." He nodded, then shook his head and said, "But it's not because of you."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Mingfei asked again, "Do you know that your family is training you as a weapon?"

This statement seems rather profound, encompassing issues such as emotions and thoughts, far exceeding the simple matter of letting her know that buying things outside requires paying.

As expected, Erii showed a slight hint of doubt regarding this question.

She probably knew that the family needed her words of power, which is why they had been healing her, and she had not refused the family's requests for her help.
