Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

He instinctively turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Sure enough, an old man with a ramen-themed headscarf covering his forehead was seen pedaling a human-powered tricycle at breakneck speed toward Genji Heavy Industries.

Perhaps feeling the speed wasn't fast enough, or perhaps because the seat was soaked with rainwater and his bottom was freezing cold, the old man simply stood up and started pedaling the tricycle.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

The ramen vendor seemed to have noticed that Genji was about to leave by car. He pedaled his tricycle furiously while waving to Genji, as if asking him to wait a moment.

Perhaps he was pedaling too hard, or perhaps he was worried that Yuan Zhisheng hadn't heard him, the old man pedaled even harder. At that moment, the chain of the old ramen cart suddenly broke, but the old man didn't care and actually pulled the ramen cart all the way through the puddles on the road and ran over.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Genji hadn't left.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly as he looked at the old man.

In fact, he really didn't want to waste any more time here. If he wasted any more time, Erii Hayashi might board that private plane and leave Tokyo. So when he first saw the old man appear, Genji almost ignored him and wanted to get into the car without hesitation and head to the airport.

Seeing the other party's urgent behavior, even calling out in the wind and rain, for some reason, Genji's heart was moved. It was this momentary delay that allowed the master to rush over here.

"What are you doing?"

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the old man who was rushing over in a hurry, and then at the ramen stall behind him, and couldn't help but ask.

"Wait, wait a minute."

The old man, panting, hadn't even finished speaking when he quickly parked the car and ran to the passenger compartment to retrieve a box that looked somewhat antique and exquisite.

Then he handed the box to Genjiro in front of him.

"Take it, take it."

"what is this?"

As he spoke, Genji opened the exquisite wooden box.

My eyebrows immediately rose. Inside were rows of neatly arranged duck necks, some even covered in broth, as if they had just been braised.

"This is a duck neck I sent to Erii. Not long ago, I heard that a guy named Lin Ye left me a message on the back street of Tokyo National University. He said that he and Erii were about to leave Tokyo to travel abroad for a while, and it was uncertain when they would be back. He especially mentioned that Erii really wanted to eat braised duck neck again, so I quickly sent it over."

The old master craftsman said, panting.

Even after calming down for a few minutes, she was still a little out of breath.

Because of time constraints, this batch of duck necks was actually started being urgently braised yesterday. We worked overtime for a whole day and night to fully cook it. We really put our heart into it, afraid that it wouldn't taste good. So this time, the master chef brought out his special skills.

Once the food was cooked and the platter was finished, the master chef rushed over to the former Genji Heavy Industries without stopping, because Lin Ye had given him the address in the letter, saying that they worked at Genji Heavy Industries.

Looking at the box full of braised duck necks and the old man's labored appearance, panting and out of breath, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but smile wryly. "I'll thank Master for his kindness on behalf of Erii. However, Erii and Lin Ye left here half an hour ago and went to Narita Airport. I wonder if they've boarded their plane yet?"

"Nani?!!"

The old man glared at him, and his body swayed as he did so.

His original motivation for coming here was to bring Erii this premium duck neck, but now that she's really leaving, how can he bring it?

Without a second thought, the experienced driver immediately turned around and started pedaling his tricycle.

Time was of the essence, so even if he had to ride a tricycle, he had to get to Narita Airport.

Ever since their last parting, the master craftsman has been having recurring dreams about Erii.

There was nothing romantic about it; Erii was like his daughter in his dreams, always appearing by his side with understanding kindness. Every time he woke up, the old man would suddenly realize that he had no daughter.

Perhaps it was because of what Lin Ye mentioned in his letter, that Erii really liked the braised duck necks made by the master chef, and always felt that it tasted like her father's cooking.

Unconsciously, the old man regarded Erii as his own daughter.

This dream was utterly illogical, yet it evoked a feeling that defied description.

In short, Erii's impression on the old master became more and more profound. Even if she wasn't his daughter, why couldn't the old man subconsciously recognize her as his daughter?

So I thought that when we parted, I would ask the other person to take some of their favorite braised duck necks with them, because that's the taste of my father's cooking.

When the old man stepped on the tricycle pedal, ready to go all out, the pedal spun several times. He then realized that the chain of the tricycle had broken. Because he had used too much force, he missed the pedal and his hands, which were covered in rainwater, slipped. His chin hit the frame, and he almost broke his teeth.

The old man covered his mouth in pain, making muffled noises, groaning about something incomprehensible.

But when his gaze inadvertently fell upon the black Hummer beside him, his pained old face instantly blossomed into a chrysanthemum-like rage.

He looked at Genjiro and suddenly shouted, "Hey kid, do you even know how to drive?"

At this moment, the old man no longer seemed like an ordinary ramen vendor, but a gang leader who had experienced countless bloody battles.

Even Genjiro was shocked by the sudden surge of power from the other party.

Yuan Zhisheng was deeply moved. If the other party was just an ordinary ramen master, how could he have such a terrifying aura?

However, this momentum only lasted for two seconds. When the experienced driver saw that Sakura had started the Hummer in the driver's seat, he immediately climbed into the back seat of the Hummer without saying a word and urged Sakura to drive to Narita Airport as soon as possible.

Seeing that her boss hadn't gotten in the car, Sakura certainly wouldn't start driving right away.

Only after Genji sat in the passenger seat, and at his command, did Sakura floor the accelerator. The black Hummer spun wildly on the puddle and then shot off like an arrow into the distance.

"I wonder if we'll be able to make it?"

Yuan Zhisheng said in a deep and serious tone.

Although he is the head of the Snake Clan, the route of the private plane line is like a tangled web of lines, all of which are already arranged. If it is to be disrupted at this time, the process will be more complicated and will delay Lin Ye and Erii's next trip, as well as the private train trip to Kassel College.

Furthermore, Genjiro also wanted Lin Ye and Erii to have a smooth journey out of Tokyo.

So he never disrupted the plan from the beginning.

"Whether we make it or not, just give it our all! Your name is Sakura, right? Let's go!"

The ramen master sat in the back seat with an imposing air, his expression full of authority. At this moment, the powerful aura that had flashed by once again surged forth from him, causing Genji to stir in his heart, and even Sakura was deeply moved.

The old man didn't seem to care about any of this. He held a plate of braised duck necks in his hands, but at this moment, it seemed that it was not just a plate of braised duck necks, but the only weapon that could determine the outcome of a war. The old man was like someone stepping onto the battlefield, exuding an aura of resolute determination. This aura was irresistible, and even Genjiro subconsciously tightened his grip on the Spider Cutter at his side.

He didn't think the old man in the back seat was a bad person, or that the other party was about to launch an attack. Yuan Zhisheng already knew that the old man would never launch an attack at this moment. It was just that the other party's aura was too terrifying. Yuan Zhisheng also knew that such an aura could not be cultivated overnight, but was a terrifying aura that could only be brewed after going through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Although the old man didn't say anything, and didn't even reveal his identity, all they knew was that he was an ordinary ramen vendor. However, at that very moment, Genji knew that this ramen vendor was definitely not simple.

This person is no ordinary individual; their identity is something they could never have imagined.

However, in a metropolis like Tokyo, the only powerful forces that can be considered powerful enough to control everything are the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan. So where did this old man come from?

More importantly, the other party has been selling his ramen on various platforms in Tokyo, living an ordinary life as an anonymous person. However, with such an aura, he must have considerable strength, perhaps even strength that would make Genji take him seriously. Yet, he is content to be an ordinary person.

What touched them even more was that the old man had always been hiding his strength. Even when he was making ramen for the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan at Sky Tree not long ago, he did not reveal his aura. But when he was about to give Erii a duck neck, just a snack, the old man involuntarily revealed his terrifying aura. For a moment, even Genji couldn't help but wonder whether he should be relieved or nervous.

However, he probably felt that luck played a bigger role, after all, the old man cared so much about Erii.

Then the other party is definitely not an enemy of the Snake Clan.

As Sakura drove the Hummer, she smoothly shifted gears, pressed the accelerator, and kept the steering wheel steady. The Hummer's engine roared loudly, tearing through the dark wind and rain, and creating a huge wall of water like a waterfall on the road. After the water wall completely subsided, the black Hummer had disappeared at the end of the road.

……

And at this moment, it is right at the entrance of the Narita Airport arrival hall.

The crowd surged, each person going their own way.

Some rushed in eagerly, while others hurried out, with no interaction between them. This trend created ripples, but the figures of a young couple stood out like reefs, or like two pearls shining brightly. Even the busiest people passing by would involuntarily glance at each other, or even slow down to appreciate the beauty that was bursting forth.

The girl wore a white taffeta off-shoulder dress. Her face was as beautiful as a painting, and her whole demeanor was extremely lively, like a noble princess who had stepped out of a dynasty. A gentle breeze lifted the hem of the girl's long dress, revealing her crystal-clear, jade-like calves.

The girl looked up expectantly, seemingly waiting at the airport entrance for her family to see her off.

Her beautiful eyes would occasionally sweep over the cars that had stopped in the distance, watching the passengers get out, as if she were confirming something. The boy stayed by the girl's side the whole time, his dark eyes occasionally flashing with a cold light. If anyone with ill intentions looked at the girl next to him, they would feel as if the boy's gaze was piercing them like a sword.

The two were Lin Ye and Erii.

They had arrived at Narita Airport half an hour earlier, but had not yet entered the waiting area.

Erii wrote in her notebook that she wasn't feeling well and planned to get some fresh air outside. Lin Ye saw through the girl's little thoughts. She was actually hoping that Genjiro could finish dealing with his so-called urgent matters and then come to the airport to see her off. So Lin Ye didn't say anything and very considerately led Erii to the entrance of the immigration hall.

Crows and yakshas crouched at a distance, spewing clouds and mist.

Crow was smoking a mild Seven Stars cigarette, while Yaksha took out a cigar from his person and started smoking.

Yaksha thought that the Gentle Seven Stars was like a woman's cigarette, so he refused the Gentle Seven Stars that Crow offered him.

Of course, Yasha put it very tactfully, saying that he wasn't used to smoking this kind of milder cigarette. Of course, he wasn't concerned about Crow's face, but rather about the face of his boss, Genjiro.

After all, Gentle Seven Stars is the exclusive cigarette of the boss, Genjiro. If his complaints are directly criticized by Crow, he might get his finger cut off.

"Crow, do you think the boss will still make it here?"

"I asked, puffing on my cigar," Yaksha asked.

The crow, with a soft seven-pointed star in its beak, watched the crowds coming and going in the distance.

"It's hard to say. You know how busy the eldest is, especially now that he's become the head of the Snake Clan. There are some things that need to be resolved promptly."

"Is that so? But you and I both know that the boss cares most about Miss Erii. Now that she is about to leave and we don't even know when she will return, shouldn't the boss come and see Miss Erii off?"

"Heh, Yaksha, you know everything now. I think if you have nothing else to do, go play with those eggs over there."

The crow rolled its eyes at the yaksha and couldn't help but complain.

In truth, Crow knew why Genjiro didn't come to see Erii off, but he didn't say anything. Some things must be chosen by the person involved, and no amount of advice from others would help.

At that very moment, Crow's phone rang.

When I opened it, I saw that it was a call from the eldest brother, Yuan Zhisheng.

The crow quickly pressed the answer button.

A deep male voice came from the phone, and the crow responded with repeated "ha-ha-ha."

Yaksha, who was standing nearby, wanted to come closer to listen to what the boss, Genjiro, was saying, but Crow covered the mouthpiece of the phone tightly, as if he didn't want anyone to hear.

Until the crow hung up the phone.

"Crow, crow, what did the boss say to you?"

Yaksha brought his big head closer and asked curiously.

"Hey, you'll find out soon enough."

The crow looked mysterious, but you could tell he was somewhat excited.

Immediately afterward, to Yaksha's utter bewilderment, Crow pulled up his pants and trotted over to Lin Ye's side.

She immediately stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in the boy's ear.

After the crow finished speaking, Lin Ye's eyes lit up.
