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

Chapter 176 Don't underestimate my network of connections!

Chu Zihang actually arrived in Japan at this time!

They even brought Nono along!

Although his senior brother had expressed concern when the second arrest warrant was issued, Lu Mingfei politely declined... but this is just too reliable!
What's this called? I was just dozing off when my senior brother brought me a pillow!
"Make arrangements! We absolutely must make arrangements!"

Lu Mingfei promptly reported his current address.

beep--

A moment later, he hung up the phone, and his smile immediately broadened.

"It's not a big problem. My friends can handle it. They'll be here in a bit."

Everyone looked at each other.

Lu Mingfei spoke in Chinese when he made the call, and most of the people present could understand him.

But his inexplicably overflowing confidence really puzzled everyone.

What do you mean?
Could it be that Lu Mingfei has come up with a clever method that can both lure the snake out of its hole and ensure safety?

To be honest, the situation is not optimistic. Although it seems like a great success and all three royal-level hybrids have been captured, Herzog is still hiding in the shadows.

Although Genji seems to have temporarily accepted the premise that 'Tachibana Masamune is the King, played by Dr. Herzog from the former Soviet Union,' no one can say for sure what choice the young lord of the Snake-Headed Eight Families would make if Herzog were to reappear before him as Tachibana Masamune.
In particular, Erii's mental age is too young. If we were to entrust her with a highly complex baiting task, she might not be able to complete it, and it might even be a waste of her time.

However, the reality is that finding Herzog will take time. During this period, someone needs to be stationed at Genji Heavy Industries to protect Kaguya, and a signal of safety must also be sent out. Only Genji Chisei and Uesugi Erii are capable of completing these two tasks.

This question feels like a death trap...

Only Su Enxi's expression turned strange; she had roughly guessed what Lu Mingfei was thinking.

This guy, besides his intelligence network, also has such a formidable network of connections?

But you know what...

It really is true—

"By the way, Mr. Lu, there's something I need to make clear."

Yuan Zhisheng suddenly spoke up,

"Eri's bloodline is very unstable. She needs to undergo blood therapy every now and then. It's not ordinary blood, but a special serum used to suppress the raging dragon blood within her. Otherwise, Erii will go out of control. I'm not sure of the specific ingredients, but currently only Genji Heavy Industries has this serum..."

Yuan Zhisheng sighed. This was his father's last wish, and also something he had to do.

“According to what you said, Erii might be safer staying outside right now, I admit that… but it can’t be for too long. The last time she had a blood transfusion was three days ago, and she has to go back within the next four days, otherwise she might go berserk and turn into Deadpool at any time.”

Lu Mingfei listened quietly until he finished speaking.
She turned her head and glanced at Erii, who was huddled in the corner with Zero.

Now that there are more people around, she's starting to want to hide.

Erii's bloodline is very unstable, which was already reflected in the character panel.

Compared to the vicious and ruthless 'Dragon King', this innocent and timid girl, who is like a cat, is actually the one with unstable bloodline, and could be completely corrupted at any time.

Blood transfusion...serum.

Lu Mingfei recalled a few pieces of intelligence that he hadn't paid much attention to at the time when he last activated the [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission].

Deadpool fetal serum has **** effects.

[Eri Uesugi has been deeply contaminated by dragon blood, the source of which is ****]

"Could the serum that Genji was talking about be the serum from the Deadpool fetus?"

Thinking of this,

Lu Mingfei simply reactivated the [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission].

Sure enough, the surrounding area was filled with outstanding individuals.

Dozens of pieces of information that could be extracted flashed through my field of vision.

[Tsukiyomi fate...]

[Su Enxi's blood...]

[Dragon King Norton...]

Erii Uesugi has been deeply contaminated by dragon's blood...

[Ancient Dragon Serum...]

The Philosopher's Stone...

[The Bloodline Origin of Words of Power: Judgment...]

[Blood Pact...]

……

As expected, after leaving the Genji Heavy Industries building, the information about the 'Deadpool Fetal Serum' disappeared.

This probably confirms Lu Mingfei's guess.

but……

"Damn it, who's carrying the Ancient Dragon Serum?"

"And the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river..."

"And why is it only Erii's Tsukuyomi that has the Bloodline Crest? What about Genjiro? What about Genjiro? Oh my god... I know!"

Lu Mingfei suddenly discovered a very absurd fact.
These three super hybrids from the White King's lineage each have their own Greek letter designation: Genjiro is π, Genjiro is ω, and Uesugi Erii is ξ. Logically, they should all be of the same lineage.

However, it can be seen from the panel that only Erii's 'Tsukuyomi Destiny' is a [Special Status], while Genji's 'Amaterasu Destiny' is actually a [Label], which does not grant him any special abilities... In other words, this Snake-Headed Eight Family's 'Amaterasu Destiny' is self-proclaimed!
"Damn it, are you trying to be awkward...?"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but glance at the young man who was half-lying on the sofa.

The other person looked back at him, somewhat confused.

The only regret is that although the three siblings have been brought together, there is no specific information about the details of the 'Godhood Plan'.

The ultimate goal of the 'Godhood Project' has already been extracted last time, and the only core figure is Erii; the other two brothers are merely incidental.

After thinking it over, Lu Mingfei decided not to let the [Deep Intelligence Extraction Permission] enter its 24-hour cooldown period.

He extracted a piece of information related to Erii.

The bloodline of the Word of Power: Judgment originates from the White King, with its core being Dragon Rune **** and Dragon Rune ****.

Time stood still.

……

"So, Erii needs a special serum every week to stabilize her condition?"

The intelligence extraction was completed, and time returned to normal. Lu Mingfei looked at Yuan Zhisheng.

"What exactly is the procedure for blood therapy? Does it mean completely replacing all the blood in her body with a backup, or is it just a matter of using serum to neutralize the toxicity of the dragon's blood in her body?"

"This……"

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment before explaining seriously, "Under normal circumstances, it's the latter, but if it's delayed for too long, a complete blood transfusion will be necessary. However, we rarely delay. We usually inject serum as soon as the time is right or when we notice any signs. Otherwise, blood washing is a very painful process."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei's expression finally softened considerably.

Although Genjiro gives off an unreliable vibe, he is quite concerned about his sister's affairs, at least he didn't give her a good answer.

"Ok."

Lu Mingfei said, "If the serum's function is to inhibit the irreversible evolution caused by excessive dragon blood concentration, then I do have some connections... Four days should be more than enough."

Potato Chip Girl suddenly started trembling.

bad!
Why does it feel like they're setting their sights on me? Are they planning to use me as a catalyst?

Our little bodies can't withstand this kind of exertion! But Lu Mingfei didn't look at her.

I just kept marveling at how coincidental it was, how incredibly coincidental, like a pair of complementary yin and yang fish.

dong dong dong-

A moment later, there was another knock on the door.

This time, no one was alarmed.

Sakurai Kogure went to open the door.

A man and a woman stood politely outside. The man was tall and thin. After taking off his sunglasses, he revealed a standard Chinese face with dark, straight eyebrows, neat eyelashes, a straight nose, and clear facial features. Standing there, he had the air of a frozen samurai sword. At first glance, he even gave people the illusion of a fully-fledged version of Genjiro.

The latter girl's outfit was a bit strange. She wore a mask, sunglasses, and a sun hat, which completely covered her head, not even a single hair was visible. Apart from her body outline, which indicated that she was a girl, she did not reveal any other characteristics.

"Senior brother, Nuonuo."

Lu Mingfei immediately stood up and greeted him warmly and proactively.

When Yuan Zhisheng and the other Japanese-mixed-race individuals heard Lu Mingfei address him, they were all taken aback.

Senior brother...?
They had long heard that Lu Mingfei was a member of the Zhou family, though they didn't know why he had gotten involved with Su Sang... So this 'senior brother' was also a member of the Zhou family? They even seemed quite respectful...

If Lu Mingfei is already like this... then are there other experts out there?
however,
Yuan Zhisheng didn't have time to figure out who this seemingly familiar 'senior brother' was.

As another girl entered the house.

She took off her sun hat, revealing a head of long, dark red hair.

She took off her sunglasses, revealing a round forehead, long eyelashes, and familiar eyebrows and eyes.

After removing her mask, her fair face was flushed with a faint blush from the long journey.

"Ugh—it's so hot," the girl muttered under her breath.

The bright sound clearly fell into the silent room.

Everyone involuntarily held their breath, their eyes wide open.

Oh no...

Wait, wait a minute?
Subconsciously, I turned my gaze to the corner.

The other girl did not disappear from the spot; she sat there blankly, her indifferent dark red eyes wide open, just like theirs.

He stared intently at the 'other self' at the doorway.

So everyone tilted their heads to the left and to the right, like rhythmic waves.

The same astonishment arose in my mind.

How could there be such similar people in this world? I've never heard of Erii having a twin sister!

see,

Lu Mingfei finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

Cough cough--

The plan is now complete, isn't it?

……

Overworked and stressed, Uesugi Koshi took the train back to Bunkyo Ward.

Looking at the alley behind the University of Tokyo, which is rich in the architectural style of World War II,

Uesugi Kotsushi relaxed completely.

He got home and planned to get a good night's sleep.

Then, in the evening, I would push my rickshaw out to set up a ramen stall, enjoying the company of young women passing by. After closing up shop late at night, I would take a nice, fragrant bath and then, under the beautiful moonlight, visit Yui at an izakaya in the central ward that was also about to close, thus beginning a wonderful but tiring day on Tuesday.

However, someone who had been waiting by the roadside for a long time suddenly followed.

"The patriarch."

the man said.

Upon hearing this title, Uesugi Kotsushi, who was still humming a vulgar tune, paused in his tracks.
He suddenly looked up at the person who had come.

Before me stood an elderly man in his eighties, dressed in a dark blue kimono, with a full head of silver hair, just like Uesugi Kotsushi, disheveled and unruly.

But unlike Uesugi Koshi's temperament, which is like a lump of oiled ramen dough,

This old man exuded a sharp aura, clearly someone who had long held a high position; his eyes were as piercing as a rust-free sword.

"You...you are Aga?" Uesugi Kotsushi recognized the other person, his voice tinged with surprise.

Realizing what was happening, Uesugi Koshi immediately tried to run away.

But there was no escaping it.

Inuyama He, the head of the Inuyama family, one of the Eight Families of the Snake Clan, stood silently in his way home, watching him intently.

"Hey, I told you not to come see me anymore, why did you come here again?"

Uesugi had no choice but to stand still again and sighed.

“It’s a family matter,” Inuyama He said.

"Don't tell me about all this ridiculous nonsense! It won't do me any good!"

Uesugi rolled his eyes: "Now that your patriarch is doing so well, why don't you just follow him and work hard to grow your business step by step? I'm just an old, useless person who's about to die. I can't help you much. Go away, go away. Let me have a couple of days of peace, and you can have a couple of days of peace too. Wouldn't that be better?"

After saying that, Uesugi Koshi kept waving his hand, as if the person in front of him was an annoying fly.

However, Inuyama He remained completely still.

Although the old man had a menacing face, his voice was extremely respectful:

"No matter what you think, or what the rest of the family thinks, in my heart, you will always be the former head of the Uesugi family, the 'Emperor' who led the family."

Uesugi's expression immediately turned cold, and his playful and easy-going demeanor gradually disappeared into the wrinkles on his face.

More than half a century ago, he escaped from his family and spent more than sixty years alone, no longer troubled by the identity of 'Emperor'.

However, to say that he hid himself very well, and that no one in the Snake Clan knew of his existence, would be pure self-deception. Even Tokyo University had strange tales about him, such as a monster ramen stall owner at the entrance several decades ago...

The most crucial point is the location where Uesugi Koshi sets up his stall. Few people know that this dilapidated alley behind Tokyo University is an asset under the name of this ramen chef. Just a few dozen steps away, you can see the bustling high-rise buildings of Bunkyo Ward, but this alley has never been renovated.

Because Uesugi Koshi was unwilling, even when a company was willing to pay $12 billion to acquire the land for commercial development, he remained deaf and dumb, and was even too lazy to reveal his identity and meet the other party, just to preserve this familiar environment.

But the key point is that this land is subject to taxation. Uesugi Koshi's ramen sales earnings are barely enough for him to seduce the izakaya owner, and that requires his good looks and stamina. The government doesn't care how old and vigorous you are; if you can't pay the land tax, they'll take your land away.

The reason this piece of land has been preserved to this day is because Inuyama He helped him complete it.

"Ahe, you know I don't want to recall what happened back then anymore."

Uesugi Kotsushi's voice was cold.

"Out of consideration for our past friendship, I won't scold you. It's rare for you to come all this way, so I can treat you to a bowl of ramen. But if you still insist on bringing up the Snake-Headed Eight Families today, don't blame me for being impolite."

Inuyama He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Patriarch, my visit this time is not entirely about the Snake-Headed Eight Families; it is also directly related to you."

Uesugi Kotsushi remained silent, his expression shrouded in the shadow of his white hair, his aura steadily rising.

It was obvious that if Inuyama He said anything more, the former emperor of the Snake-Headed Eight Families would lose his temper.

So Inuyama He had no choice but to seize the last opportunity.

"Your son... is missing."

Uesugi Yue: “?”
