Dragon Clan: Starting from obtaining Yaki, counterattack against the gods

Chapter 239 Conspiracy
Genji Chitose found Norton on the top floor of Genji Heavy Industries. In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a man in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back, quietly overlooking the high-rise buildings below.

Ever since Norton moved into Genji Heavy Industries, he has often stayed here, so this room has been idle. Now it has become Norton's exclusive "office area" and also a restricted area of ​​Genji Heavy Industries. Almost no one will set foot here.

This is respect for the Dragon King, but also fear of the Dragon King. Among the eight Snake families, only a handful of people know Norton's identity, but no one can straighten their backs when seeing him.

Obviously he did nothing, but that kind of invisible pressure was like a sword hanging around his neck, making people fear and tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

And probably the only one among the eight Sheqi families who is not afraid of him is Yuan Zhinu.

Pushing the door open casually, Yuan Zhinu stood directly beside Norton, with a casual and relaxed posture, as if she was meeting a friend.

This was the first time the two met after they separated in China. The atmosphere was quiet but not stiff, just like the meeting of two streams of water, harmonious and natural.

Norton didn't look back or say anything, he just looked out the window silently, like an unchanging statue.

"What were you thinking about when you stood here?" Yuan Zhinv also looked at the prosperous city below her feet, a little curious: "Do you miss the time when the dragon clan ruled the world? Do you think things have changed?"

The man did not answer her question, and silence spread between the two. She didn't know how long it had passed. Just when Yuan Zhinu thought he would not answer, the man suddenly spoke again.

"Do you know there is a creature called mayfly? Their life is very short, born in the morning and dead in the evening, but they never feel sad." Norton's voice was very light, and no emotion could be heard: "It's the same with humans."

"In the eyes of the Dragon King, it's normal for weak humans to be like mayflies." Yuan Zhinv smiled and said, "But you always stand so high, aren't you afraid that you will fall down one day?"

Before Norton could answer, Yuan Zhinv changed the subject: "I came to you to tell you that I have asked someone to invite an old friend. She should be coming to Japan soon."

"Who?"

"Leviathan."

As these three words fell, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly stagnated. Norton frowned, and there was a hint of confusion in his voice.

"Why are you provoking her now?"

Yuan Zhinv was still lazy, as if she had just provoked a cat or dog, and said nonchalantly: "Then we are going to kill her relatives, so shouldn't we notify her?"

Seeing Norton's frown deepen, Yuan Zhinu blinked and asked, "You are going to attack her blood relatives, don't you want to cut off the roots?"

"If you want to kill them, just kill them all. Besides, I haven't forgotten what happened. I have a bad temper and I hold grudges, you know."

The battle in the Greenland Ice Sea was the battle in which Genjitsu was most helpless, and also the battle in which she lost the most miserably. Even though she later confronted Jörmungandr head-on, although she did not win, she could not be considered a loser, as Jörmungandr later chose to retreat.

But when she encountered Leviathan, if Norton had not finally awakened, she might have really died there. Yuan Zhinv always remembered this grudge.

Although Norton and Leviathan fought, they just stopped at a certain point and neither of them took it seriously. For the Dragon King, it was just a minor friction and should not be considered hatred.

But Norton now wants the dragon bone of Leviathan's blood relative. Given the love-hate relationship between the twins on the throne, this is bound to be a fight to the death. So why not just go all out and kill them both.

Norton obviously could think of this, but he was still a little unhappy because of Yuan Zhinv's self-willed thinking. Since some time ago, he had become less and less able to control the girl in front of him.

But Yuan Zhinv seemed not to notice the change in Norton's mood, and continued to speak to herself: "Think about it, a dragon bone is not enough for you and Constantine to share."

"Besides, if we kill the dragon under the sea, Leviathan will hate us to death. She might find an opportunity to jump out and cause trouble for us. Instead of that, why don't we take the initiative and let the brother and sister reunite in the underworld."

"Even if Leviathan has a cocoon, it will take time for it to transform into a cocoon once it dies, right? During this time, at least we don't have to worry about her stabbing us in the back at any time. We can nip the risk in the bud."

Norton looked at the girl in front of him in silence. Her long silver hair was casually scattered, her skin was bloodless, a color almost like porcelain white, and even her lips were very light. Only her scarlet eyes were so red that they seemed as if blood would drip out at any time.

The face looked more and more like the one in his memory, and even the violent personality seemed to overlap. Norton was even dazed at times and couldn't tell who was standing in front of him.

As a result, at this moment, the girl tilted her head slightly, blinked at him, and said in confusion: "What are you hesitating about? I have already given out the invitation. I can't go and tell her, 'We only want to kill your brother this time, so you don't have to come.'"

The tone was both unreasonable and strong, and quite like a scoundrel. In just a moment, the bloody and violent feeling disappeared without a trace. Norton withdrew his gaze, and his tone became calm again.

"I can't take action."

"I know, I know. There is a blood contract." Yuan Zhinv looked unconcerned. "I didn't intend to ask you to do it in the first place. Revenge is more satisfying when you do it yourself."

"It's just..." At this point, Yuan Zhinv paused, and Norton couldn't help asking:
"Just what?"

"With your current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill her. The one who controls the ocean and water is Behemoth, and Leviathan is very weak. She was forcibly awakened, and her strength is less than three tenths."

"But Japan's foundation is too fragile. What if Leviathan floods Japan with the Guixu Sea? Maybe we won't die, but Japan will be gone, right?"

Genjitsu spread her hands and said, "I don't really care about Japan's life or death, but my base is here."

Norton finally understood the purpose of her visit, and his expression became a little subtle: "You want me to find a solution?"

"Correct."

Yuan Zhinu admitted it without hesitation. The Dragon Kings were wary of each other and were reluctant to fight each other, so from the beginning she had never intended for Norton to kill Leviathan, and Norton would not agree.

But Yuan Zhinv felt it was a waste to leave such a powerful weapon here unused, and she knew that Norton would not help her kill Leviathan at any other time.

Because Leviathan has been awake for so many years, it is very likely that she has a cocoon, and even if she dies, she will not have a dragon bone. If Yuan Zhinv wants to kill her for revenge, Norton will not stop her but he will definitely stand by and watch.

If Leviathan were to perish together with the others before his death, Norton might be happier because two problems would be solved at once. However, it would be a bit of a loss for Yuan Zhinv.

So why not just kill first and ask for permission later, and bring Leviathan directly to Japan? You, Norton, want the dragon bone of Behemoth? Okay, then kill Leviathan first. Otherwise, as long as she is alive, how can she let others devour her own blood relatives?
If the problem of Guixu is not solved, Leviathan will go to Guixu before his death and die together with Yuan Zhinv, and Japan will be doomed. The situation will be a mess, and Odin and a certain supreme being will be eyeing it covetously. It is hard to say what the final outcome will be.

I guess even if it was Norton, he wouldn't be sure to be the final winner, right? The most likely thing was that he would be a stepping stone for a certain supreme being.

It wasn't a very clever trick. With Norton's intelligence, he should be able to figure it out quickly, but so what? This was a blatant conspiracy. Unless he gave up Behemoth's dragon bone, he could only follow the idea of ​​the source girl.

This is the truth that Yuan Zhinv realized after the battle in China: if you want to disrupt the script and other people's arrangements, you will bring about more variables and disrupt the situation.

The more variables there are, the more chaotic the situation will be, and the situation will get out of control. This trip to Japan is already dangerous for her. In this case, it would be better to make the storm even more violent so that no one except her can stay out of it. In this way, even if God comes, he will not be able to predict the result.

As for how to deal with Leviathan's dying counterattack, that is something Norton should consider. Whether it is alchemy or other means, Yuan Zhinv believes that it is impossible for them, the Dragon Kings, not to understand each other's ultimate words, so they can always come up with a solution.

With this thought in mind, Yuan Zhinu looked at Norton sincerely, without any burden of shirking responsibility: "It all depends on you, Your Majesty the Dragon King."

Norton looked at her expressionlessly. Yuan Zhinu made an encouraging gesture towards him and said sincerely: "You can do it, I believe in you, you are the best!"

Norton: “…Heh.”

...

As night falls in Tokyo, the neon lights on the long street light up one by one from east to west. Tokyo at night changes from a plain-clothed sporty girl to a seductive mature woman, and the atmosphere of feasting and revelry gradually becomes stronger.

With no missions to do, the ace trio of Kassel Academy rejected the arrangement of the Snake Eight Families and went to wander around Akihabara for a whole day.

It was not until it was completely dark that they came back with bags of things, still unsatisfied. It was obvious that they had gained a lot. But when they were about to reach the Tamamonomae Club, Chu Zihang received a message and said that he had something to do and left alone.

This was very strange. Logically speaking, they were all unfamiliar with Japan and there shouldn't be any urgent matters. However, when Chu Zihang left, he seemed unusually impatient, as if he was in a hurry to meet someone.

However, Chu Zihang obviously did not intend to explain too much to them, so Lu Mingfei had to go back with Caesar.

To be honest, the two of them were not familiar with each other and could not play together, but Lu Mingfei was in a good mood today because he bought a limited edition figure of Asahina, and although Caesar's card was suspended and he did not buy anything, he rarely went to this kind of "common people's entertainment" and felt that he had broadened his horizons.

So the atmosphere is quite harmonious, and we can chat about whatever we want. When we see something interesting on the roadside, we are even in the mood to stop and take a look.

In the red-light district not far from the Tamamonomae Club, several guys who were obviously gangsters surrounded a young girl with fierce expressions and were saying something loudly.

Caesar didn't understand Japanese, but he still asked with interest what Lu Mingfei, the only person in the group who knew a little Japanese, was saying.

Lu Mingfei listened with great effort, scratched his head and said, "It seems to be debt collection. The girl borrowed money and couldn't pay it back."

He looked around a few more times and was suddenly a little surprised: "Hey, isn't that the waiter who served us drinks last night?"

Caesar was a little surprised: "Are you sure? You can remember the faces of so many waiters?"

“No, no.” Lu Mingfei scratched his head, a little embarrassed. “She poured me wine last night. I have some impression of her. I am often face-blind. By the way, didn’t she say that a debt collector came to cause trouble last night? Could it be that she was the one who came to see her?”

However, Caesar just made a teasing remark and didn't seem to want to delve into the matter further. At this time, the gangsters over there became more and more impatient and began to roll up their sleeves, as if they were ready to take action.

Lu Mingfei was shocked, thinking, are the Japanese underworld so uncivilized? In what era are they still using violence to collect debts? Moreover, the girl looked so weak, how could they do that?
He subconsciously wanted to go up and help, but was a little hesitant. After all, with his small body, it was hard to say whether he would go up to save people or get beaten.

In the moment he hesitated, the blond man rushed over and kicked the guy who was about to attack him without hesitation.

The smooth flow of the movement left Lu Mingfei dumbfounded.

When it comes to being a hero saving a beauty, the men of Gattuso's family will never stand idly by. With Caesar's physique, beating up a few ordinary thugs is just a piece of cake and he can knock them all down with just a few hits.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but cheer for such a quick and neat move, and felt like he was watching a scene from an idol drama.

When he ran over, Caesar had already picked up the girl who had fallen to the ground and asked, "Are you okay? Don't be afraid. We've met before. It was in the club last night."

Surprisingly, the girl could speak English. She shook her head and whispered that it was okay. She buried her head so low that her expression could not be seen clearly.

Without the sexy uniform of Tamamonomae Club, she now looked like a high school student, wearing braces and black-framed glasses, with her long hair combed into a neat ponytail.

Just looking at her current appearance, it was hard to imagine that she would work in that kind of adult club. If Lu Mingfei hadn't remembered this face, no one would have made this association.

"Did those debt collectors come to you last night?" Lu Mingfei asked, a little curious: "Are they loan sharks?"

The girl lowered her head even lower and said "hmm" in a very light voice. Everyone could see her embarrassment at the moment. Lu Mingfei said very considerately: "Are you going to the club now? We happen to be going too, so we can go together."

The girl nodded and followed them silently. Caesar and Lu Mingfei looked at each other and said nothing more. Saving her was just a matter of convenience and they had no intention of prying into other people's private affairs.

Only after they walked a distance away did the girl suddenly speak softly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Caesar raised an eyebrow.

Lu Mingfei also said: "Yes, he is very good, this is just a piece of cake. By the way, my name is Lu Mingfei, his name is Caesar, what about you?"

"Aso Makoto." The girl said, she put her hand behind her hair, her unmade-up face looked a little childish.

"Oh, are you an adult?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but spit out some nasty words: "Such a high-end club wouldn't still use child labor, right? Is it illegal to use child labor in Japan?"

The words were nonsensical, but the girl couldn't help but laugh. The heavy atmosphere disappeared silently. Zhen said, "I'm an adult. The rules here are very strict. I heard that you have a gang background and can help me avoid debt."

"As long as I'm in the store, those people don't dare to come to me. But recently those gangsters seem to be busy with something important. No one has come to the club to watch for a long time. So they came to try yesterday, but they were beaten out directly."

"Do you... owe a lot of money?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

"Well, that's about it. Someone in my family was sick, so I had no choice. Later I paid back several times the debt, but the interest was too high and I couldn't pay it back." Zhen said.

The neon lights were flashing, and the three of them were walking slowly. The girl slowly told her story. It was a simple one. Her family was poor and she only had an elderly grandmother.

She had good grades in high school and maybe she would be able to get good grades in the future, but she couldn't afford to go to college. Her grandmother saved money and tried to save money for her tuition, but some problems arose. It wasn't a serious illness, but they had no money to treat it, so the condition got worse and worse.

In the end, the girl had to borrow money and dropped out of high school to work. She started out in a toy store, but later found that she could not repay the loan. Those people came to collect the debt, and the toy store owner fired her for fear of causing trouble. With the introduction of a classmate, she came to this club to work as a waitress.

Not to mention the higher salary, the most important thing is that this club has a gangster background, and ordinary gangsters dare not come to cause trouble. This is really a chance to breathe. Her current dream is to hide in the club and pay off her debts.

But for some reason, the Japanese underworld seemed to be preparing to do something big recently, something a little unusual, and they didn't care much about what was going on below. Even the small gangsters sensed it and dared to approach boldly.

The girl narrated her story softly, but she did not seem sad, as if she had gotten used to this kind of life. She tactfully explained that she had not done anything shameful, she was just poor, and being poor was not a bad thing.

Lu Mingfei felt a little bit reluctant after listening to this, and Caesar also frowned. In the eyes of a nobleman like him, things that can be solved with money are not a big deal, and he can't imagine that someone would be forced to this point because of such a small amount of money.

He has always spent money lavishly, and the money that almost drove the girl into despair was not even enough for him to have a meal.

Almost subconsciously, Caesar wanted to take out his card and let the girl pay off her debt so she could continue her studies, but he suddenly remembered that his card had been suspended, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Lu Mingfei also wanted to help, but he only had his Kassel College student ID and credit card, which he didn’t have with him at the moment.

However, at this moment, a hand reached out and handed a card to Caesar. The man lowered his head, wearing a black suit, and bowed respectfully like a butler: "Master, do you need this?"

No one knew where he came from. He approached silently, yet seemed to have always been with them.

Caesar was startled, and recognized that this was his butler, but he couldn't remember his name for a moment: "You are not that... um, what is your name?"

"My name is Percy, sir," said the butler.

"Why are you here? Have you been following me?" Caesar realized something and his tone sank: "Did those old guys in the family ask you to come to me?"

"Yes, Master."

"I won't go back. I must participate in this mission." Caesar said, "Go ahead and tell those old guys to leave me alone. I don't need the love of my family."

"I see." Percy nodded, but still handed the card to Caesar: "I thought you might need it. This is my private account and the family will not monitor it."

Caesar was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows but did not refuse: "Okay, I will remember to return your favor."

"You don't owe me a favor. This is what I should do." Percy bowed slightly and whispered in a voice that no one could hear:

"Because I was born for you."
