Upon hearing this, the subordinate beside him quickly asked, "Then, sir, should we send someone to assist in finding the 'key'?"
However, the masked man slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Idiot! Who said we were going to help find someone? We only need to achieve our own goal; what does the rest have to do with us?"
Two cold, resolute flames seemed to burn deep within his eyes; his gaze was like a sharp blade in the cold night, ruthless and piercing.
"Go, find a way to deliver that extremely precious bottle of blood from the first generation of the Bronze and Fire Dragon King that we painstakingly collected last time to him. We've planned this for so long, we can't afford any mistakes." His voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an irresistible force.
"Yes, sir!" the subordinate replied respectfully, his tone filled with awe.
"Interfere with him when necessary, but be careful not to overdo it, ensuring that the useless person can proceed as planned. Now, it's time to end this long wait." A faint, sinister smile crept across his lips.
"With this bottle of rare dragon blood, we can replace the 'key' and successfully awaken the long-dormant White King." He clenched his fist tightly, as if he could already see the scene he had been waiting for.
"World Tree... no matter how you struggle, you cannot stop my steps, nor can you prevent the great Black King from returning to the world."
The masked man's eyes gleamed with an almost manic light, like a demon from the depths of hell, as he muttered chilling words.
"Herzog, I have poured countless efforts into setting up this scheme; I hope you will not disappoint me," he sighed softly, as if conversing with fate.
Chapter 33 Kazama Ruri
Lin Yu was completely unaware of everything that was happening in Rome.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa with Erii, their eyes glued to the first edition of the Ultraman series.
In an instant, the entire room was filled with warmth and tranquility, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
When the plot on screen reached its climax, and the powerful and evil monster was finally defeated and destroyed by the brave and fearless Ultraman, Erii's face showed obvious displeasure.
"Are you unhappy?" Lin Yu gently stroked Erii's smooth hair and asked with concern.
Erii looked somewhat dejected, and slowly picked up a pen to write on the paper: "Do monsters always have to be defeated by Ultraman?"
Between the lines of her writing, one can clearly feel the deep sorrow and helplessness in her heart.
Lin Yu naturally understood that the innocent and adorable girl in front of him had already placed herself in the role of a monster.
After all, she has always been very aware of the huge differences between herself and others.
"Don't worry, monster... it's not necessarily destined to fail."
Lin Yu gently comforted her, knowing full well that Erii desperately craved reassurance and comfort at that moment.
Upon hearing these words, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Erii's previously dull eyes.
Without hesitation, she stretched out her arms and hugged Lin Yu tightly beside her.
And so, the two embraced tightly. At that moment, Erii's beautiful eyes became even clearer and brighter, as if she had embraced the whole world with happiness and contentment.
And so, Erii's jewel-like eyes slowly closed, and she drifted into a sweet dream.
The day's toil and the intense emotional turmoil she had just experienced left her already exhausted body unable to continue.
Lin Yu gently placed the delicate, porcelain-doll-like girl in his arms onto the bed, his movements careful, as if afraid of waking her.
Looking at Erii sleeping peacefully before him, a doting and warm smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Even if the whole world despises you, I am willing to stand on the opposite side of the world and protect you.
Lin Yu murmured softly, these words seeming to be not only spoken to Erii, but also to be an unwavering vow from the depths of his heart.
Seemingly having heard Lin Yu's words, Erii's delicate body, which had been curled up like a kitten, relaxed slightly, making her appear exceptionally endearing.
"System, begin today's check-in!"
Lin Yu silently thought to himself, "Today has been so busy and exciting that I almost forgot about this important matter."
"Ding! Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one 'Basic Bloodline Stabilizing Potion'!"
The system's crisp, pleasant notification tone suddenly rang out, causing Lin Yu's heart to skip a beat.
Immediately, an overwhelming sense of excitement welled up within him; he couldn't wait to learn just how miraculous the effects of this bloodline stabilizing potion were.
After carefully reading the introduction to the bloodline stabilizing potion, a faint hint of disappointment appeared in Lin Yu's eyes.
It turns out that this so-called "basic bloodline stabilizing agent" can only temporarily stabilize the bloodline of mixed-race individuals, and its effectiveness lasts for only one month.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset; after all, something is better than nothing.
Since such a miraculous substance as the basic bloodline stabilizing potion exists, it is without a doubt that even higher-level and more potent potions must exist in the world.
The night was deep and inky, with countless stars twinkling across the sky. Yet, within this vast darkness, Tokyo, Japan, displayed a dazzling and colorful spectacle.
The city lights blazed brightly, a dazzling display of colors that transformed Tokyo into a dreamlike "city that never sleeps."
At this moment, for those entertainment venues filled with singing, dancing, and dazzling lights, the night is merely the beginning of revelry.
A handsome young man, lightly made up, was strolling leisurely through the bustling street.
He was dressed in a classic traditional costume, and his every move exuded a unique charm.
Just then, a girl on the street caught a glimpse of this extraordinary young man and was instantly captivated.
She couldn't help but walk briskly towards the boy with slightly androgynous features, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Master Kazama Ruri!" the girl exclaimed, her voice trembling, her face brimming with barely suppressed excitement, yet also showing a hint of unease.
Faced with the girl's warm greeting, the boy's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a warm and charming expression, and he softly replied, "Hello! Beautiful lady."
This young man named Kazama Ruri is a legendary figure in the host club world.
However, what is little known is that, besides this identity, he is actually... Genjiro's younger brother, and even more so, the "Dragon King" among the fearsome demons—a vicious and terrifyingly evil demon.
Chapter 34 King General
"Could I take a picture with you, Master Kazama Ruri?" the girl asked cautiously in a soft voice, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness, as if afraid her request would be refused.
"Of course," Yuan Zhinü said, a slight smile playing on her lips, as warm as a spring breeze.
His gentle yet magnetic voice instantly warms the heart.
Overjoyed at receiving a positive reply, the girl quickly walked to Yuan Zhinv's side, pulled out her phone, and snapped several photos in quick succession.
Each photo captured this precious moment, making the girl's joy even stronger.
"Thank you so much! Thank you so much!" After the photo was taken, the girl thanked Yuan Zhinv with great joy.
"You're welcome. It's my honor to bring joy to such a beautiful lady," Yuan Zhinu replied humbly.
At this moment, a blush rose on the girl's cheeks, and she said shyly, "I...I really like you."
Her gaze remained fixed on Genji, her eyes sparkling with admiration and affection.
Faced with the girl's sincere confession, Yuan Zhinu responded with a grateful smile and offered her best wishes: "Thank you for your affection, I hope you have a pleasant time tonight."
As soon as the words were spoken, an extremely cool Bugatti Veyron sped over like lightning and came to a smooth stop beside Yuan Zhinv.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a mysterious man wearing a noble's mask sitting in the driver's seat.
This man is none other than the most feared figure in the entire Japanese underworld—the King!
"It's time to go!" The king waved to Genji without expression, his tone cold and unquestionable.
However, Genji seemed to be used to his attitude, and simply replied, "You know what? You're really annoying."
After saying that, he got into the car without looking back.
Despite Genji's assessment, the king paid no heed, simply waving his hand dismissively, signaling him to get in the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, the car sped away like an arrow, disappearing into the vast night.
Inside the carriage, Wang broke the silence, stating bluntly, "The head of the Uesugi family of the Snake-Headed Eight Clans is missing."
His words were concise and clear, yet they conveyed an invisible pressure.
Herzog was extremely anxious. He first searched everywhere for Erii's whereabouts in his esteemed capacity as "patriarch," but to no avail.
At this moment, he did not hesitate to use the power and resources he now possessed as a "King General".
"That girl who was always by my brother's side, like a substitute for me?"
Genji spoke slowly, her words revealing deep displeasure.
"It would be better if she just disappeared without a trace, so my brother wouldn't have to dote on her all the time," Yuan Zhinu's eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment.
However, Herzog shook his head and said firmly, "No! We must find her before the Snake Clan, because she will become an extremely evil demon. With her help, we will surely be able to ascend to the supreme throne!"
Although the king was wearing a mask, the madness contained in his slightly trembling voice could still be clearly felt.
"Heh, do you really think you can find her?" A disdainful smile played on Genji's lips, making no attempt to hide her skepticism about Herzog's abilities.
Faced with Genji's sarcasm, Herzog did not get angry. Instead, he replied earnestly, "It is not me who will search for her, but you who will find her. The new throne will surely belong to your child. You are the most outstanding bloodline inheritor I have ever seen in my life. You must believe in my sincere heart towards you!"
Genji didn't believe a word the king said.
Chapter 35 The Ghosts Move Out
"The Palace of Ecstasy"—a mysterious and luxurious place, a secret garden of high society and a breeding ground for desire.
This place is filled with the allure of money and endless possibilities; as long as you have enough wealth, any wish can be fulfilled here.
Whether it's having dinner with the Prime Minister or holding a grand wedding at Meiji Shrine, these things can become a reality as long as you're willing to pay the price.
However, "Paradise Mansion" also has its own rules and bottom lines.
Although people can indulge in the luxury and extravagance here, no one dares to easily challenge the owner's authority.
The proprietress was an extremely alluring and captivating woman; her beauty was mesmerizing, but it also concealed a deadly danger.
Those who tried to harm her had long since vanished without a trace. She was like a blooming datura flower, beautiful and alluring, yet carrying a deadly poison.
However, at this very moment, this formidable proprietress was standing at the door herself, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
This move aroused great attention and curiosity among the regulars at the casino, who all speculated about the identity of the upcoming guest.
Finally, a luxurious Bugatti Veyron slowly pulled up at the entrance.
The proprietress quickly stepped forward and personally opened the car door. Two men stepped out; one was a young man with a slightly effeminate appearance, while the other wore a noble's mask, making him appear mysterious and unpredictable.
"Welcome back," the proprietress said in a respectful tone, as if the two were extraordinary individuals.
The atmosphere inside the casino suddenly became tense, and everyone began to speculate about the origins and purposes of the two mysterious figures.
