Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 245 Dealing with them doesn't require any code of honor.

"What do you mean by 'the Japanese branch has sent a punching bag'?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. The moment the call connected, Teacher Zhang's first words were like this.

Is this some kind of deliberate substitution of initials in pinyin for the sake of civilized language?

The first letters of the pinyin for "sandbag" are S and B...

"You've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve, but when have I ever done anything like that?"

Zhang Shanfeng said nonchalantly, "Are you going to fight the Japanese or not?"

"It's our duty, teacher!"

"That settles it, doesn't it? A punching bag delivered to your door for free! But don't go too hard this time, this punching bag is still needed to deal with Gattuso's men."

"What theory is this from?"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback, then realized, "It's related to that Fujiwara guy or something?"

"Yes, Shinnosuke Fujiwara. Their Japanese branch members secretly became the Gattuso family's lackeys. What do you think they were after? If this isn't explained, where will they put their faces?"

As the executor of this open conspiracy, Zhang Shanfeng's psychological control over the Japanese branch was naturally extremely precise.

"But they're not stupid. They won't let us use them for nothing. They'll definitely cause you trouble. After all, in other people's eyes, Fujiwara Shinnosuke is still one of their people. What's that saying again..."

"You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog?" Lu Mingfei blurted out.

"Oh, right!"

Zhang Shanfeng praised, "That's a very accurate description; it's pretty much exactly what happened. That person will arrive at noon. Do you have any other plans for lunch?"

"Oh, Teacher Zhang, are you planning a trap? Do you need me to help you lure someone into a snare? Even if I had plans, I'd have to cancel them now!"

Lu Mingfei asked excitedly, "Can that person eat spicy food?"

"Eat...spicy?"

Zhang Shanfeng was taken aback. Although he knew that it was easy to switch topics in a second when chatting with Lu Mingfei, how did it suddenly jump to this topic?

"There's no need to talk about morality when dealing with the Japanese devils! It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat, right? Even if we can overwhelm them with sheer force, we should add appropriate auxiliary measures. That way, they won't be convinced and will think about provoking us again later... That's what we call a sustainable development perspective!" Lu Mingfei said with great enthusiasm, spitting as he spoke.

"Don't lie to me, is this how the concept of sustainable development is used?" Zhang Shanfeng was stunned by Lu Mingfei's words.

"We need to be flexible in applying concepts, not rigidly apply them. I've only made a few minor modifications..."

Lu Mingfei swung his hand so hard that he almost swept the water glass off the table. He reacted quickly, protecting it with a pounding heart before continuing to speak.

"I remember that Japanese food culture basically has no tolerance for 'spicy' food, you could even say it's negative! Teacher Zhang, what if we have Sichuan and Hunan cuisine for lunch, and it's super spicy... Even though mixed-race people are physically stronger than ordinary people, they're still pretty much the same when it comes to eating, right?"

"hiss……"

Zhang Shanfeng gasped, "You actually came up with such a crazy idea?"

“This is just the most basic and simple idea. In fact, we can make some clever combinations, such as crab with persimmon, sprouted potato with green tomato? Or some undercooked bok choy…” Lu Mingfei continued, his face beaming.

"Ahem... Okay, I know you have a lot of knowledge about food safety, but if you really go that far, it's no different from giving someone a laxative, right?"

Zhang Shanfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This kid really would stop at nothing, not caring about his status or face at all... But he liked it!
The other party clearly came with ill intentions. In this situation, what's the point of talking about chivalry? Add to that the added bonus of nationality and identity, it's already a big favor not to arrange for him to commit suicide by being shot eighteen times in the back.

"Is there really such a colorless, odorless, and undetectable laxative? If so, it would be good to arrange it as well. After all, he is a hybrid, and as a representative sent by the Japanese branch, his bloodline level should be at least A, and there is a high possibility that it is S. Maybe his body has a very strong self-detoxification ability!" Lu Mingfei tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his face serious.

There are reasons why he wanted to add some "auxiliary measures".

Firstly, he felt there was no need to talk about chivalry or honor among gangsters.

Secondly... since the other party knew that he had defeated Fujiwara Shinnosuke, who possessed the Word of Power "Time Zero," and still sent someone to help, they must have come prepared. Either they had a specific Word of Power targeting him, or they were exceptionally strong.
Teacher Zhang Shanfeng may have misjudged his true strength because of his battle with Jormungandr, the King of Earth and Mountains, but he knows his own strength best... He can't waste such a precious opportunity on this, can he?

Without intending to use the [Phenotype Simulation] to simulate the first generation of the species, Lu Mingfei felt it was better to play it safe and take more preventative measures in advance to improve his chances of winning.

We absolutely cannot lose. No matter who we lose to, we can't lose to the Japanese, right?
The main problem is that time is really tight. If he had another ten days or so, Lu Mingfei felt that his schedule planning would be at least LV3, if not LV4. At that time, judging from his current growth curve, he shouldn't need all of this anymore.

"You little brat... cough cough... um, I didn't hear anything. I'll have 'Nuwa' delete the entire call log later."

Zhang Shanfeng coughed twice and said in a low voice, "I'll have Ye Sheng send you the information later. Remember to take a look."

"Is the data really accurate? Could it have been tampered with again?"

Lu Mingfei expressed his doubts, noting that Fujiwara Shinnosuke, who possessed the power of Word of Power: Time Zero, had suddenly appeared in the Gattuso family's investigation team... It was said that he came directly from Norma's database.

"The Gattuso family has the authority of a school board member to edit these documents, which the Japanese branch doesn't have. But as for the accuracy of the documents..."

Zhang Shanfeng thought for a moment, "It should at least have some reference value, right?"

"Does that mean it's mostly misleading?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

Sometimes you don't need to be so blunt...

Zhang Shanfeng's eyes twitched slightly. "In short, the situation at the Japanese branch is a bit special. I'll have Ye Sheng send you the information later."

"oh oh."

"By the way, I remember you've never been to Japan, so how do you know about Japanese food culture?" Zhang Shanfeng asked before hanging up the phone.

"Because I'm a hardcore anime and manga otaku... at least I used to be."

Lu Mingfei blinked. "But that doesn't mean I don't want to fight the Japanese!"

"Haha, you're right!"

Zhang Shanfeng hung up the phone.

Before long, Lu Mingfei received several documents from Ye Sheng.

The first document was about the Japanese branch. Lu Mingfei clicked on it and took a look—

The Japanese branch is a long-established yakuza organization...

and many more.

Lu Mingfei exited the document, rubbed his eyes, and then clicked back in.

"I'm not seeing things?"
