Dragon Clan: I am Lu Mingfei, the Intelligence Strategist, the God of Concepts!

Chapter 170 Genji's Resolve, Dual-Sword Style, But Encounters...

Narita Airport, Immigration Hall.

The tall, handsome young man in black walked to the counter and handed over his passport.

"Hello."

The female staff member meticulously flipped through the passport's photo page. Comparing it to the young man in front of her, her heart suddenly raced. She was twenty-three years old and had been working in the immigration hall for three years. Her daily job was to sit behind the counter and review foreign tourists—the final step of manual inspection upon entry.

In the past three years, she has seen all kinds of handsome men from all over the world, but boys with such a standard cold and aloof samurai style are still rare.

She has a bit of Byakuya Kuchiki's vibe, with a cold exterior and even looks like she's still growing her hair long. She seems like a great cosplay prospect... The girl thought to herself, her formulaic smile becoming more and more genuine, and her hands moving without slowing down at all.

The stamp 'Entry Permitted' was applied.
Chu Zihang.

The girl glanced at the name at the top again and handed the passport back.

"Thank you," the other person said politely.

Take the passport and make room.

Behind her was a girl with dark red hair, wearing sunglasses, with a pair of sparkling silver four-leaf clover earrings beside her swan-like neck, and chewing bubble gum.

"Ms. Chen... Miss Mo Tong? Could you please remove your sunglasses?"

The staff member's smile became more subdued, and it became perfectly standard.

The girl took off her sunglasses, revealing her entire fair face.

At this moment, she raised an eyebrow, as if she vaguely sensed that many eyes were on her.

It might sound a bit narcissistic, but that's the truth.

Those fleeting glances, tinged with greed and malice, subconsciously reminded her of the destroyed Chen family, and of that stern, terracotta-like middle-aged man.

The staff didn't take long to confirm the identity.

pat-

The entry permit stamp was affixed.

Nono put her sunglasses back on, and those gazes seemed to vanish instantly.

Chu Zihang, who was standing next to him, also put on sunglasses.

The two appeared to be a couple, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses. Their serious demeanor even gave off a "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" vibe. However, when they walked side by side, they maintained a safe distance from each other, even more distant than normal friends, as if they were deliberately avoiding something.

The two headed towards the exit.

"Someone was watching me just now. It was me, not us," Nono whispered.

Recently, she had dealt with Chu Zihang quite a bit and had gotten used to this 'ally's' style. When talking to him, she could be very direct and get straight to the point without having to consider any implied meanings or ambiguities. In short, he was a straightforward man. Although he was very reliable, probably only a straightforward woman like Su Xi would like him.

Thinking about what had happened at the academy recently, Nono suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Something does seem off." Chu Zihang nodded slightly.

"You noticed it too? Speaking of which, isn't the security situation here a bit bad? There are so many tattooed men even in the airport. Although Japanese organized crime is legal... are these all gangsters?"

Nono continued to observe the pedestrians around her and found that quite a few people had large tattoos on their arms.

Many of the stares just now came from these guys.

Some of them left in a hurry.

"The Japanese branch is indeed a yakuza organization. Moreover, it is the oldest yakuza family in Japan and has always been the supreme leader of the Japanese yakuza."

Chu Zihang earnestly shared the information he had obtained from the Norma database.

"But the problem is that we are here to carry out a mission, and we have sent an official letter to the Japanese branch in advance. According to the rules, they should at least send someone to pick us up."

As he spoke, Chu Zihang subtly glanced at the gangsters in the corner of the hall.

"These people are clearly not the ones; the Japanese branch has broken its promise this time."

“Maybe it’s a good thing? I heard that the Japanese branch used to mistreat the specialists sent by headquarters, which might have hindered our mission,” Nono said.

"No, this is not normal. According to the posts shared in the Night Watchers' discussion forum, the Snake Clan should be a very disciplined group. They are like parts of a large machine, and they will not make any mistakes, whether in the whole or in the details. The reason they are being abused is because they are not capable enough and cannot keep up with the pace here," Chu Zihang said calmly.

Nono choked immediately.

Indeed, if we were to hold a 'Who is the real robot' competition,
The champion should be the person next to me.

The atmosphere at the Japanese branch is something no one can take away from Chu Zihang; he should feel right at home there.

"So, something must have happened here," Chu Zihang said.

Nono was slightly startled.

"what do you mean?"

Chu Zihang quickened his pace and walked expressionlessly toward the door. "Don't forget what we really came here for."

……

Black helicopters frequently swept across the Tokyo sky under the blazing sun.

As expected of the most efficient Japanese yakuza in the world, just half an hour ago their main branch issued the highest unlimited bounty, and the encirclement from above and below is almost suffocating. Unsuspecting citizens might think it's a temporary military exercise.

Lu Mingfei and Zero, along with Erii, left Genji Heavy Industries early on.

To be precise,

Erii, along with Lu Mingfei and Zero, left the completely sealed-off building early on.

Erii was more familiar with the interior of the Genji Heavy Industries building than anyone could imagine. She knew many of the secret passages inside. Apart from Kaguya-hime, who was undergoing emergency repairs, and the 'dead' Tachibana Masamune, she was probably the person in the world who knew the building best. Even the designers at Maruyama Manufacturing Company might not know the true situation inside the building better than her.

All of this is thanks to her exceptional hearing.

After being contaminated by the blood of an ancient dragon, although she was constantly being eroded by dragon blood and at risk of becoming a dead servant at any time, her physical qualities, incantations, and even her five senses had long surpassed the range of normal human hybrids.

Over the years, she has been planning to spend time at home. When she gets tired of playing games, she hugs her toys and leans against the tatami mat, lost in thought.

The medical staff were reassured by her quiet and well-behaved nature, which was a good thing.

But in reality, she was listening to every sound in the building. Some people were arguing, some were panting, and some were sneaking through secret passages. She didn't know the meaning of most of the sounds, but gradually, she roughly constructed a diagram of the overall internal structure of the Genji Heavy Industries building in her mind.

The previous eight times they ran away from home proved some of the facts. The remaining part was not a mistake, but just that it was not convenient. Under Erii's guidance, Lu Mingfei and Zero kept moving around inside the building, avoiding the searchers and guards on each floor time and time again.

In the confined space, Erii's hearing was almost as sharp as that of a hybrid with the power of the 'Kamaitachi'; no subtle sound could escape her ears. Within this unknown and invisible realm, she was nearly omniscient and omnipotent.
Even when passing the seventh floor, Erii stopped in front of the vending machine and offered Lu Mingfei and Zero orange-flavored drinks, the currently popular fruit juice for young women, with commercials featuring Yui Aragaki playing on TV every day—

Of course, Erii wouldn't be carrying any loose change; she just reached in and took it, which triggered the alarm again...

"Seriously, did we trick them?"

Lu Mingfei sipped his juice, wearing a sports jacket, a headband, and a tennis bag on his back, looking like an outdoor-loving, sporty young man.

At this moment, the three of them were walking along a path towards a nature park on the edge of Shinjuku Ward, near Shibuya Ward.

This is an escape route that Chip Girl had planned in advance.

After leaving Genji Heavy Industries, Lu Mingfei and his two companions did not go through the main entrance, but instead went straight down from the 55th floor to the underground, entered the Iron Dome Temple, and then returned to the surface through a manhole cover in a small alley. Along the way, Lu Mingfei and Zero took out a change of clothes from a storage box that had been prepared in advance in the corner of the alley.

The box also contained disguise props such as cosmetics, false eyelashes, colored contact lenses, and wigs.

Zero is very good at this.

They even gave Erii a disguise.

In broad daylight, Erii's dark red hair and red and white shrine maiden outfit were simply too eye-catching.

Unfortunately, although she was a child at heart, her physical development was completely normal.
Erii's body is well-developed, tall and slender even among adult women. She couldn't fit into Zero's clothes at all, so she had to settle for the dress that Mai had originally prepared for her. It had several cutouts on the back and the shoulder straps were studded with rhinestones. It was super fashionable, but it might be a little bit glamorous... but thankfully, Erii's cute expression softened the look considerably.

"Don't worry, I sent them a message in advance."

Zero said she was also drinking juice, and she was wearing a white dress and sneakers, a common sight in the tennis world.

"Mai has strong combat skills, and with Chips' brains, they might be able to help us divert some of the Snake Clan's attention."

Erii is also drinking juice.

Listening to their conversation, she hurriedly tucked the can under her arm, trying to take out her notebook to write.

see,

Lu Mingfei explained first, "They are two other friends, good friends, who will play with us."

Erii stopped moving, blinked, and her expression seemed to be a little confused, expectant, and troubled. She slowly put the notebook back and continued to quietly drink her juice.

Lu Mingfei smiled. Although the girl couldn't speak, she was actually very easy to understand, and she was well-behaved and quiet. Even though their first stop after they came out was a quiet and boring park, Erii didn't make a fuss or rush to go somewhere else to play.

I was worried that Erii's childlike personality might be difficult to handle, but now it seems I was completely overthinking it. Even in the cat world, she's an exceptionally good cat.

For her, as long as she wasn't inside the Genji Heavy Industries building, she was fine wherever she was outside.

"Potato Chips can't be in any trouble. We're counting on her to help us find Herzog. A billion yen... an unlimited bounty. To be honest, I'm thinking of getting a few people to take turns fleecing me. By the way, can I report myself? If Potato Chips really can't handle it, how about we have them report me directly? We can also spend some money on the process."

Lu Mingfei casually remarked that he was now simply overwhelmed by debt. With one wanted poster from Tachibana Masamune, one from the King, and another from Genjiro, Lu Mingfei was now practically a treasure trove. Even a penniless nobody could instantly achieve a leap in social class through these three bounties.

"The simple way to convert Japanese yen to RMB is to remove a zero and then divide by two. One billion yen sounds like a lot, but it's actually only fifty million," Zero said calmly.

"This amount of money is probably too much trouble for potato chips to even bend down and pick up. In addition, we are the investors of Sheqi Hachike. Strictly speaking, this billion yen is our own money."

"hiss--"

Lu Mingfei was joking at first, but now that Ling is analyzing it so seriously...

Holy crap... It's being born!

Yuan Zhisheng!
At that moment, Erii suddenly gulped down her juice, threw away the can, and tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve.

"My brother is here."

She held up the notebook, looking nervous.

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was startled.

A few seconds later, the alleyway hidden in the shadows of the city was quickly cleared out and slowly became quiet.

The three of them stopped in their tracks simultaneously.

Lu Mingfei looked wary.

In his line of sight,
Izakayas, convenience stores, pachinko parlors, cinemas... all these 24-hour businesses shut down without hesitation. Within half a minute, the entire street was cleared out, leaving only the shop signs still flashing. From one of the shops, a faint, deep old song drifted out, like a war song, tragic and full of anger.

As the music played, men in black trench coats entered the venue. The men at the front were holding dogs, and when the wind blew up their coats, they revealed the linings that shimmered like ukiyo-e prints.

The road is surrounded by barriers at both ends.

Even with their disguises, the elites of the Snake Clan's Executive Bureau were like a pack of hyenas with an extremely keen sense of smell, following the scent all the way to them.

At the same time, the roar of a helicopter came from above, and people landed on the rooftops on both sides.

Then came the clicking sound of guns being cocked.

Without any disguise, beams of infrared light were aimed at them.

A rope and a extinguished cigarette butt fell from the sky, landing right at Lu Mingfei's feet.

Immediately following this was a cracking sound of bones popping from the sky.

It sounded like a giant engine starting up, and you could even hear a teeth-grinding grinding sound. The sound was like a giant mechanical arm in a factory gripping steel and colliding and rubbing against each other. Even without seeing it, just listening to the sound, you could almost picture a dazzling scene of sparks flying everywhere.

next moment.

The emperor descended from the heavens, his face contorted with rage and fury!
"Lu Jun! You've done something wrong, do you really want to just leave like this?!"

No one could even see Genjiro's jumping motion; the entire helicopter swayed violently due to the loss of balance.

The man's furious roar echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

boom--

Yuan Zhisheng only grabbed the rope for a second before landing, and the composite nylon rope, capable of supporting tens of tons, instantly snapped.

The young head of the executive bureau, Amaterasu no Mikoto of the Snake Clan, the future of her family, stood before Lu Mingfei once again, filled with unparalleled rage.

The heavy boots kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground. Yuan Zhisheng slowly straightened up, drew the two swords from his waist. The blades were curved, one two feet three inches long and the other two feet four inches long. The blades were gleaming, and the inscriptions shimmered with a cold light.

Left hand: Spider Cutter; Right hand: Child Cutter.

At this moment, he resembled a young daimyo from the Warring States period.

Genjiro's true specialty is dual-wielding; the dragon blood within him boils continuously, burning with the wrath of an emperor.

"Do you need to explain anything further?"

Yuan Zhisheng's voice was deep.

At this point, there is only one reason why he has not yet given the order to open fire: Erii is still being held hostage by the other side. Erii is his father's last wish and also his own sister.

He immediately noticed his younger sister, Erii, who was wearing a revealing dress, long black hair, and light makeup, but he still recognized her at a glance.

"That damn guy..." Genjiro was furious again.

"of course yes."

Lu Mingfei smiled brightly, like sunshine.

After saying that, he brazenly reached for his tennis bag on his back with his right hand.

It was truly unexpected that the other side caught up so quickly. Even without Princess Kaguya's help, the Snake Clan's Execution Bureau was able to maintain such an efficient operating mode.

The disguise failed.

His gaze settled on the few dogs in the crowd... apparently, their scent had given them away.

It might not be his and Zero's scent, it could be Erii's scent.

So fast.

However, this is a good thing... but is it too late?

Words of Power: A Dustless Land.

Beside him, Zero immediately released this incantation.

Her small, cold face showed no expression. This power of words could create a force field around her body by manipulating airflow, repelling all foreign objects, such as bullets. Pistol bullets could be easily blocked, but what about large-caliber sniper rifles?

There are sixteen anti-materiel sniper rifles mounted on the roof, loaded with powerful 20mm rounds, strong enough to penetrate infantry armored vehicles.

Zero wasn't sure if the Dustless Land could still hold out, but she still remembered the first vow she had made in her life, or perhaps in two lifetimes, and she would continue to keep it.

Erii's delicate and indifferent face showed anxiety as she took out a small notebook and scribbled on it.

Then she kept showing it to Yuan Zhisheng, shaking the little notebook vigorously.

But Yuan Zhisheng ignored it.

At this moment, his eyes were only on Lu Mingfei.

No matter how powerful the other party's background is, in Japan, on the territory of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, no one can commit such a heinous crime and then walk away unscathed... Without a doubt, Su Sang is in cahoots with them, but Su Sang has disappeared, and the head of the Fuma family and the head of the Sakurai family, who were responsible for accompanying him, have also suffered serious injuries.

The other party had planned this for a long time and came prepared.

But he underestimated the Snake Clan too much. He still managed to find Lu Mingfei and Erii... Ha, they actually set up a smokescreen at the airport?
"You have three chances to say something," Yuan Zhisheng said, his voice icy.

"No, two sentences are enough."

Lu Mingfei's expression was calm. He reached halfway into the tennis bag but did not pull the long gun out completely.

He's stalling for time... He's waiting for someone.

Killing Tachibana Masamune was merely a means, not an end. Lu Mingfei wasn't worried about facing Genjiro, but he didn't want to face him so soon... Of course, the snipers around were still quite intimidating. This was their territory, and even though he wasn't afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight, no matter how brave and unparalleled he was, it was hard to have any real confidence in this situation.

"Two sentences."

Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath, his face expressionless, and slightly raised his hand.

The sound of gun bolts being pulled back in unison rang out all around.

Invisible pressure is coming upon me.

In the utter silence and deathly stillness, Lu Mingfei's ears twitched as he listened intently.

Finally, a barely perceptible beat was caught.

"Tachibana Masamune and the King are the same person."

He uttered his first words.

The words fell,

Genjiro's handsome face twitched violently, then a fierce expression appeared on his face.

Your father is already dead, why are you still trying to smear him?
Besides, it's such nonsense!
He raised his hand, ready to strike immediately, no longer wanting to listen to Lu Mingfei's nonsense.

See this.

Lu Mingfei smiled; Yuan Zhisheng's reaction was exactly what he expected.

"Don't believe it?"

So he said his second sentence.

"Then let Genji prove it for me."

The next moment, a cherry-red longsword smashed through the glass on the upper floor.

It hurtled down!
