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

Chapter 258 You Don’t Think You Can Win This Time

"Boss, what are we waiting for before we leave Japan?" On the advertising car, Lu Mingfei shrank his neck and whispered.

Caesar's expression was serious and his voice was low: "Are you willing to leave like this? Those damn Japanese are hiding something from us! They didn't say a word about all the ghosts in the sea! They even issued a wanted order for us!"

They had just left Kassel Academy, the only safe haven in Japan. The so-called safe haven was not a real port, but a secret transit station.

Kassel College has set up hundreds of safe havens around the world and paid local people to manage them. If the commissioners encounter danger while operating abroad, they can seek refuge in the safe haven.

But for some unknown reason, that safe haven has been revoked and turned into a trendy internet cafe with a bit of a borderline reputation. The most outrageous thing is that as an internet cafe, there is a problem with the network. Even Kassel College can't find it. Not only can they not get in touch with the college, but they also directly expose themselves.

The reason is that their wanted warrants have been on TV, and the charges are smuggling nuclear fuel, terrorist attacks and raping young girls, which rank very high among the dangerous elements in Japan.

The owner of the Internet cafe recognized them and secretly called the police, but the people who came were not police but gangsters.

If it weren't for Caesar's words that heard the noise in advance, and if it weren't for their good luck and the Sheqi Eight Families didn't send out any important people, they might have been caught by now, waiting for the trial of their good classmate Fengjian Liuli.

But even so, they were forced into a desperate situation. The Sheqi Eight Families were the shadow emperors of Japan. Japan was their territory, and they had complete control here.

The police, surveillance cameras, and even every idle gangster on the street are their eyes and their lackeys. Caesar and his two companions are unfamiliar with the place and cannot even speak the language. They have been forced into a desperate situation.

So, when they saw the advertising truck full of colorful lights on the roadside and found out that they were recruiting people, they immediately and decisively got on the bus. At this time, they were squeezed in this small compartment.

"That's why we have to leave Japan as soon as possible!" Lu Mingfei said earnestly, "There is obviously something wrong with this Japanese branch. The academy's safe haven is no longer useful. Are you waiting to be caught by the police if you don't leave?"

"It's not my style to be driven away in such a disgraceful way." Caesar was unmoved: "So far, no one in this world has been able to get me out of a game! No matter what game it is!"

"You shouldn't care about your self-esteem at this time, right?" Lu Mingfei looked sad and turned to look at Chu Zihang beside him: "Brother, what do you think?"

Chu Zihang sat aside expressionlessly, still maintaining an upright posture in the swaying carriage. He nodded when he heard the question: "Japan is indeed very dangerous now."

Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly lit up. He was really glad that his senior brother was not confused and had a clear mind and knew to protect himself instead of being so stubborn as to confront the local bully.

"So we have to take the initiative and find out what the Japanese branch is trying to do. Only after we get in touch with the college can we counterattack." Chu Zihang said.

"No! How can we fight against the local tyrants when we are so weak? We can go back to Kassel College first and make a long-term plan!"

"And we can let Principal Ange deal with those damned Japanese. Wasn't he the one who brought Japan under control before? He's a perfect match for the profession!"

Lu Mingfei was almost going crazy with anxiety. His friends all had serious faces, making him look like a mentally retarded person.

"Forget about it. How can we leave Japan when there are wanted warrants everywhere?" Caesar said, "Customs and airports must be closely monitored. We don't have any money, and your good sister won't let us go."

“Actually, I think there must be a misunderstanding.” Lu Mingfei whispered, “Didn’t Senior Sister jump into the water to save us? If it weren’t for Senior Sister, the whale would have eaten us.”

"Why don't we just go and seek refuge with Senior Sister? She will definitely not do anything to us."

"Let's not talk about Fengjian Liuli's personal stance for now, but you have to understand that she is the young master of the Japanese branch. Now the Japanese branch has directly betrayed her. Do you believe that she is unaware of it?"

Caesar smiled silently, leaning against the carriage with his eyes lowered: "I want to believe her, but what she did makes it impossible for me to believe her."

"Before the people from the headquarters come to Tokyo and take over everything, we have to stand guard for the last time. Just like Chu Zihang said, we have to take the initiative."

"No matter what happens or what difficulties I encounter, I will never run away in disgrace. The word 'escape' does not exist in Caesar Gattuso's dictionary." The man's voice was as cold as steel, with unparalleled majesty.

Until they stood under the huge neon sign of Takamagahara.

Looking up at the colorful lights inside, listening to the lascivious music coming out, watching the effeminately dressed staff leaning weakly in the arms of women...

The women talked and laughed loudly, unscrupulously poured wine into the men's thin clothes, or threw handfuls of banknotes at the men. The men shyly held up the banknotes with starry eyes.

When Lu Mingfei saw this, his eyes went dark and he almost fell down on the spot. Chu Zihang frowned with an ugly expression as if he had seen something dirty.

Even Caesar fell silent and even began to think about the possibility of leaving Japan. After all, retreating to advance is also a way. Smart people know when to give up.

Because this... is actually a gigolo club!

The huge neon sign reads "Takamagahara", so this is——

Takamagahara nightclub.

……

In the dead of night, dense drizzle fell, adding a touch of haziness to the colorful Tokyo.

The streets were deserted and the doors of the roadside shops were ajar. In this kind of weather, few people came out to eat. Probably in a while, the owners would close up their stalls.

However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door of a noodle soup restaurant. The boss, who was dozing with his face covered with a newspaper, opened his eyes sleepily and saw two customers walking in.

They were two very old men, with gray hair and deep eyes, and the charm of time was everywhere on their faces. They didn't look like the kind of people who would come to a place like this for a late-night snack.

The boss was about to greet him warmly, but he was stunned when he saw the appearance of the old man behind him.

"Lao Yue?" He showed some surprise in his eyes: "Where have you been all this time? We went to look for you several times but couldn't find you. They said you quit."

Uesugi Yue smiled at him and said, "My family came to visit me, so I went home. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to say hello to you."

"Family? What family?" The boss was puzzled: "Didn't you say you had no family?"

"I was quite surprised too. In fact, I have three children, a son and two daughters. They are all very good children, but I didn't know about it all these years."

At this point, Uesugi Yue sighed: "Because I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father, they have suffered a lot over the years."

"Ah, is there such a secret?" The boss's face was full of emotion: "Then you must compensate the children well and bring them to my place for noodles when you have time."

Uesugi Yue smiled and nodded, then walked to his usual seat: "Same as usual, two servings, I'll chat with my friend."

The boss nodded quickly, threw the white towel over his shoulders, walked into the kitchen and said, "Okay."

While the two were chatting, Ange had already sat down to drink, cheap sake from a small cup. This foreigner tasted quite like a Japanese office worker when he drank it.

"After all these years, you still look so energetic, Angé." Uesugi Yueya poured himself a cup of wine. The expression on his face was hard to tell whether it was nostalgia or emotion, or both.

"Yes, and you have become an old man." Ange said, "You didn't even say hello when you came to Japan last time." "Why do you need to say hello? You made such a big fuss, letting everyone know that you came to Japan, and you specifically asked me to pick you up. Are you trying to put pressure on me?"

"I asked you to pick me up because we are friends." Ange drank sake slowly with a relaxed attitude, as if this was really just a reunion between old friends.

"How ridiculous! Back then, you and I were enemies who fought to the death. It doesn't mean that old enemies can become old friends just because we haven't seen each other for a long time." Uesugi Yue snorted: "What's more, you old bastard bullied my daughter when you came to Japan last time, and I didn't even settle the score with you."

"Please understand. If I hadn't taken your daughter out of Tokyo when she was in danger, she wouldn't have gotten to this point today, and you wouldn't have had the chance to meet her. Shouldn't you thank me?"

The boss brought up the hot noodle soup. Uesugi Yue smiled and chatted with him for a few more words. The boss then went back to the kitchen and continued to doze off with the newspaper covering his face, listening to his old friend and his friends chatting in Chinese, which he could not understand.

"I am sorry for my young daughter. She has suffered the most among the three children." Uesugi Yue sighed, his eyes becoming deep and long. "I almost regretted it for the rest of my life again."

"I have always done the wrong things in my life. I have achieved nothing in my life. I didn't see my father for the last time. My mother cursed me before she died. In the end, I couldn't even protect my own children..."

He drank the sake in his hand and said bitterly: "I messed up everything. I am a failure."

"It's not a complete failure." Angers filled his glass. The steam from the hot soup blurred his face, and it was hard to see the look in his eyes. "At least you have an outstanding daughter."

"She completely integrated the eight Sheqi families, got rid of the shackles of other mixed-blood organizations, and cut off the curse of the White King's blood. She did what you failed to do."

"My little girl is really great, much better than me." Uesugi Yue smiled, and when talking about his child, this underworld boss was no different from an ordinary father, with pride in his cloudy eyes.

"So, what do our outstanding girls want to do now?" Angers said calmly: "You know the purpose of my visit to Japan this time, don't you want to explain it?"

"Is there any need to explain? I told you, we were mortal enemies from the beginning. Who would explain to their enemy?"

Uesugi Yue shrugged and said, "I don't care why you came to Japan, but if you want to go against my children, or even hurt my children, then I will kill you."

He said it so casually and as a matter of course, as if he was saying that the noodles were very hot, so eat slowly. Ange looked at him, but he was just concentrating on eating the noodles, as if he didn't notice Ange's gaze at all.

In the kitchen, bone soup was bubbling as it cooked over a low fire. The boss, who had fallen asleep at some point, was snoring softly. The rain was hitting the window with a "crackling" sound. The whole world was so quiet that only these tiny sounds could be heard.

The atmosphere changed at some point, from the initial harmony to a tense one. No one spoke, they concentrated on eating the noodles in front of them, as if that bowl of cheap noodle soup was some rare delicacy in the world.

In the end, it was Angers who broke the strange atmosphere.

He finished the last mouthful of noodles and blew slowly on the still steaming noodle soup. No emotion could be heard in his tone: "You are doing something very dangerous. I knew a long time ago that you are the bloodline of the White King, but I never investigated further."

"Because I know that although you are engaged in the underworld business, you are still the guardians of order, not the destroyers. Your daughter is also very good. I was willing to help her, firstly for your sake, and secondly because I felt that she should not be trapped by these disgusting people and things."

"She is an eagle and a tiger. She shouldn't be trapped in a cage, so I am willing to give her a hand."

"But this does not mean that I will indulge you. You have touched my bottom line. If I cannot find a proper solution, I will have no choice but to continue doing what I should have done sixty years ago... destroy the Eight Snake Families."

He said, shrugging: "You know I can do it."

"Of course you can do it, you are a tyrant." Uesugi Yue smiled silently, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, pressed the cash on the table, and stood up.

"I've felt for a long time that you're more like a gangster than I am."

Ange also smiled and stood up. Without disturbing the sleeping boss, the two of them lifted the curtain and walked out. The rain was still falling, but they didn't care and just walked on the empty street.

Uesugi Yue looked up at the brightly lit high-rise buildings in the distance and said softly, "If it was before, you came to me and told me that you wanted to destroy the Eight Snake Families, I would definitely support you with both hands and feet, and I might even give you some advice."

Ange looked at him straight, "What now?"

"Now? Of course I'm not allowed to do that. I'm now the head of the Sheqi Eight Clan."

"Do we have to go this far?" Ange's voice became softer, mixed in with the sound of rain, like a sigh: "Your daughter has taken a wrong path, the end of that path is death. What you want to resurrect is not God, but the devil."

"Even so, will you help her?"

"I know what you said." Uesugi Yue's face showed a little more helplessness: "Since ancient times, our bloodline has been cursed. I thought the curse would end with me, but I didn't expect that I would still have a child."

"The little girl is the one chosen by the curse. I can no longer see her future, and I don't know if the current path is right or wrong. But there is nothing I can do. I feel sorry for her. This is all my fault. I owe her."

The old man looked at Ange with a calm expression, but his tone was as cold as steel: "So even if this road leads to the underworld, I will accompany her to the end."

Ange was silent for a long time, then smiled helplessly: "So this is, the talks broke down..."

Almost in the blink of an eye before he finished speaking, the whole world suddenly slowed down, and the old man's figure left the spot like a ghost. Uesugi Yue almost subconsciously stepped back, and at the same time pulled out a hidden sword from the sleeve of his kimono to block horizontally.

In an instant, sparks flew.

Ange held the folding knife in his hand and stabbed it on the hidden blade, raising an eyebrow: "Your reaction is not slow, but even so, you can't stop me."

"Of course I know I can't stop you. You defeated me once sixty years ago."

"Then why did you come to see me alone? Are you here to die?"

"Yeah." Unexpectedly, Uesugi Yue admitted: "I'm going to die soon anyway, wouldn't it be nice to drag you, a damned fellow, to hell with me before I die?"

As he spoke, he exerted force with his wrist and fiercely blocked Ange's folding knife. He took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with brilliant gold.

A huge black sun slowly appeared behind him, and the terrifying area spread instantly.

Angers was not frightened by this scene. He just frowned and looked at Uesugi Yue and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I won't live much longer, you old bastard. My organs have all failed. I'm too old. I'm half buried in the ground."

Uesugi Yue smiled and said lightly as if he was talking about someone else's business: "And I know what kind of lunatic you are. For revenge, you can do anything. This time when you came to Japan, you didn't intend to give up."

Dark clouds gathered, and the huge black sun slowly rotated. The elements of the entire space began to become disordered. The old man stood in the huge field with a solemn expression, like an old monk visiting Buddha.

"So, come die with me. We old guys should have died a long time ago anyway, so let's not cause trouble for the young people."

"I lost to you sixty years ago, but this time..."

He looked at Ange's tightly furrowed brows and said word by word: "You have no chance of winning."
