Dragon Raja: Starting with acquiring Orochi, a counterattack against the gods.

“Yes, she wants to stay here. It seems that Japanese people have a strong attachment to Meiji Shrine.” Ye Sheng nodded, and his eyes softened when he mentioned Aki Shutoku: “It’s okay, since she’s married to a Chinese man, we can hold another ceremony in China later.”

"Hey, you just said you were just putting together something, huh? You're just pretending!"

The sounds of laughter and playful banter carried far, and under the gentle music and bright sunshine, everything was just perfect.

The doors of Meiji Shrine were open, and many passersby came in to bless the newlyweds. They watched as the two couples completed their ceremonies and finally entered the church.

The pastor stood by the altar and said in a poetic voice, "Praise be to our God always, from this day forward and forevermore."

The musicians chanted in unison, "Amen."

The girls holding flowers said, "Let us pray to the Lord in peace."

Everyone said in unison, "Lord, have mercy on us."

In the audience, the girl quietly leaned close to the person next to her and whispered, "They look so happy."

As the warm atmosphere drew near, Yuan Zhinv nodded and replied in a very low voice, "Do you like it here? We can have our wedding here too."

"Never mind." Sakurai Kogure shook her head. "I don't like having too many people watching us."

“Okay.” Yuan Zhinv nodded.

Sakurai Kogure then asked, "How did you meet them?"

Yuan Zhinv thought for a moment and then recounted how she met the two newlywed couples. There was nothing particularly special about it; she just felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, often including nostalgia or reflection).

After all, in the original work, whether it was Masayama Makoto, or Shudeya Ki and Ye Sheng, they all died in the war against the Dragon Clan.

Jiu Deya and Ye Sheng died tragically while on a mission for the academy, but this time Yuan Zhinu took their place on the Three Gorges mission, so they were lucky enough to survive and were even preparing to ascend to the hall of happiness.

Because of Minamoto no Ichijo's involvement, Aso never had the chance to meet Caesar, so the melodramatic story of "meeting Caesar and being ruined for life" wouldn't have happened.

Noda Hisashi may not be the most suitable for her, but he truly cares about her. After going through so many trials and tribulations together, the two gradually developed genuine feelings for each other and eventually got married.

Yuan Zhinu felt quite emotional, and the two of them together brought double the emotion. The wedding was in Japan, so they came to join in the fun.

However, she's quite famous now, so a proper wedding wouldn't work. Otherwise, the wedding would turn into a worship ceremony, which would be a bit of a waste of her time.

So she chose to bring Sakurai Kogure along and blend in with the ordinary people who came to watch the excitement, and they sat in the audience without attracting any attention.

Sakurai Kogure didn't speak, so Genji stopped talking too. The two of them sat quietly in the audience, their hands always clasped tightly together, quietly savoring their happiness.

Sakurai Kogure felt as if Minamoto no Chizuru's gaze had swept in a certain direction, but when she looked over with a frown, she saw nothing.

"I must have been mistaken," Sakurai Kogure thought to herself, and looked away.

Just as she looked away, the shadows in the far corner seemed to ripple, and if one were closer, one could even hear whispers coming from there.

"Seriously, why did you sneak in like this to attend a wedding? Were you trying to kidnap the bride or the groom?"

"Stop talking nonsense. My stupid sister actually dared to get married here in such a grand manner. I've offended too many people over the years. Who knows, some might come looking for trouble. I can't rest easy without checking on her."

"I never would have guessed you cared about your sister. But what I find even more surprising is that you have a sister like this. You two don't look alike at all. And don't you two get along? Can't we just sit in the family section?"

"If I go to the family section, will anyone still be looking at the bride?"

Mai Shude was getting a little impatient: "If you're so lazy, why did you come along? I already told you not to come. The Snake-Headed Eight Families still have a lot of financial problems. Instead of taking care of the accounts, you have time to come out and play with me."

Nidhogg was killed, but the new era that the hybrids had been hoping for did not arrive. They thought that the pure-blooded dragons were all dead, the end of the world was over, and it was their turn to take charge.

Humans will all be enslaved, social order will be completely rewritten, and hybrids will be the rulers of the world!

Unfortunately, this wish was thwarted. The Serpent Clan swiftly eliminated all the restless hybrid families and, together with other established families, suppressed the truth about the dragon race that was almost revealed during the apocalypse.

And so the world was restored to peace. The hybrids remained hidden in the shadows, guarding the secrets of the dragon race. Everything seemed the same as before, yet it also seemed as if a great deal had changed.

Before, the Snake Clan was just a low-profile force that didn't even rank among the mixed-blood families, but now it has become the ace among mixed-bloods, the true emperor.

But no one dared to say a word, because the hero who killed Nidhogg was the young master of the Snake-Headed Eight Family. Although it was said that this young master had not been in Japan for a long time and had not made a public appearance, she was just not here, not dead. Who would dare to do anything to the Snake-Headed Eight Family?

So even though the mixed-race people were unwilling, they didn't cause any trouble.

The situation remained in a delicate balance, but the Snake Clan had one problem: debt. This top-tier yakuza organization had no shortage of military power, but it was really struggling when it came to its debts and finances.

Therefore, Yuan Zhinv decisively captured Su Enxi, this financial swan. Once the contract was signed, a life of ease and comfort descended from the sky.

Before this trip, Su Enxi had been working overtime in the office for three consecutive months, and she looked exhausted, but the results were considerable. It is said that the profits have almost broken even.

"Stop talking, stop talking, I get a headache just thinking about accounts." Su Enxi said with a bitter face. "I even miss Boss Zhou the Skinflint. At least when I worked for him, I had time to eat potato chips. Now I don't even have time for potato chips! The Sheqi Eight Families are all rife with bad debts!"

When the boss was mentioned, both girls fell silent.

They hadn't received any messages from the devil in a long time, and it was impossible for them not to feel anything, but they were conflicted and didn't know what to say.

The pastor was still speaking by the altar as the two couples exchanged rings. The families cheered and applauded, and the audience clapped and offered their blessings. Everyone's expression was filled with joy.

Watching this lively scene, Su Enxi pouted with a hint of envy and said, "Hey, Long Legs, are you sure someone's going to ruin the wedding? It's almost over, isn't it?"

“I’m not sure,” said Mai Shude. “But it’s best not to. However, everyone knows that this wedding was organized by the Snake Clan. If they really wanted to disrupt it, they probably wouldn’t just barge in openly.”

As she spoke, she looked towards the audience: "They'll probably try to sneak in and create chaos. My useless sister and her useless boyfriend aren't offensive types, so neither of them can fight."

You said you didn't care at all, but your concern is practically overflowing.

Su Enxi pursed her lips, but knowing how stubborn her companion was, she didn't say anything more. She curiously looked at the swearing-in-arms, Shudeya, standing on the platform.

She was a very gentle girl with a sweet smile. She and Mai Shutoku looked nothing alike. If Mai Shutoku was a sharp, pointed blade, then Aki Shutoku was more like an innocent, harmless little rabbit.

Wow, the difference is huge! Are they sisters?

She was mentally complaining when she suddenly heard gasps from the audience, as if a commotion had broken out.

No way, could there really be someone so foolish as to disrupt the wedding of the Snake Clan? In the current climate, that's really suicidal!

But as it turns out, not everyone has a sense of awe.

A seemingly ordinary man wearing bulky black-rimmed glasses was just joining everyone in wishing the newlyweds well one moment, then he took off his glasses, threw them on the ground, pulled a gun out of his pocket, grabbed an unlucky spectator, and pressed the gun against the spectator's head.

"Don't move! I'll kill anyone who touches her!"

After the man took off his glasses, a hideous scar was revealed at the corner of his eye, very close to his eyeball, as if his eye had almost been pierced and blown out. He exuded a fierce aura.

As he pulled out his gun, people screamed in fright, and the entire wedding venue descended into chaos.

"Damn it, it's him!" Mai spat out after recognizing the man. "I knew things wouldn't be peaceful!"

"Who is this? Does he have any bloodline?" Su Enxi asked. "Should we call the Snake Clan for support? Can you handle this by yourself? I'm an office worker, I don't know how to fight!"

“It’s a small problem. I can go over and take care of him quietly. The only problem is that I’m afraid he’ll drag the hostages down with him. So you’ll distract him while I take him out from behind.”

Just as Su Enxi was about to nod, she suddenly saw something, her face stiffened, and her voice even faltered slightly: "Well, I think we might not need to go through this trouble."

"What?" Mai Shude, who was preparing to finish the battle quickly, paused.

"Look who he's kidnapped."

Mai looked over in confusion, then her expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely strange.

The girl the scarred man was pointing a gun at looked up, revealing a face that was definitely familiar to both of them.

Looking at that face, Mai Shude recalled the days when she was stuffed into a suitcase. She expressionlessly put away the knife she had just picked up, thinking to herself, "Excuse me."

She shouldn't be worried about the hostages; she should be worried about the kidnappers.

Chapter 417 Extra 1: A Little Bit of Daily Life in the Snake-Headed Eight Family (2)

Yuan Zhinv found it quite unexpected.

She had only ever seen kidnapping and abduction in TV dramas since she was a child, and this was the first time she had encountered it in real life. How should I put it, it was quite a novelty.

It wasn't just her; Sakurai Kogure next to her was also stunned, seemingly not quite understanding why someone would dare to point a gun at Genji's head.

After all, in her memory, when she first met Genji, she was already the second-in-command of the most ruthless yakuza in Japan, and she would occasionally behead the number one guy for fun.

It is no exaggeration to say that even the most vicious criminals in Japan are as innocent as babies in the face of the ruthless demons of the Oni Clan, while Minamoto no Chijo is someone that the entire Oni Clan avoids like the plague.

Sakurai Kogure couldn't remember how many people and dragons Genji had killed in the past few years. Her greatest achievement was, of course, defeating Nidhogg and replacing him as the Black King.

In a sense, Genji's current level is probably such that she can destroy the entire Earth if she's unhappy, and she could launch another world-ending disaster at any time.

As a result, this person was held hostage at gunpoint by a guy who appeared to be of mixed race.

Sakurai Kogure was speechless for a moment, feeling out of place amidst the screaming and retreating audience.

The scarred man noticed her unusual behavior. He grabbed Genji's neck with one hand and pointed a gun at Sakurai Kogure with the other, his face filled with murderous intent: "Get out of here! What are you looking at? Are you looking for death?"

Sakurai Kogure's expression also became a little strange. She looked at Genjiro, who shrugged at her, looking completely unconcerned.

Sakurai Kogure then understood, realizing that this person wanted to play around, so she lowered her head and obediently backed away.

The robber was finally satisfied. He pointed his gun at Yuan Zhinv's head again and looked at the bride and groom on the stage with their different expressions. He felt something was strange. The audience screamed and scattered, and the family section was in an uproar. The pastor and musicians had all disappeared.

Only the four brides and grooms stood still, their gazes lingering on the faces of the unfortunate spectators he had kidnapped and on his own face, each with a strange expression.

For a moment, the robber even doubted whether he had acted fiercely enough, otherwise why did these guys look at him with no fear, but only sympathy?

"Perhaps it's just my imagination," the robber thought, before uttering his prepared lines: "Where are Aki Shutoku and Mai Shutoku?"

Wearing a white wedding dress, Jiu Deya was stunned. She really didn't expect that this guy was coming for her. She shook her head at Ye Sheng, indicating that she didn't know either.

Ye Sheng stood in front of Jiu Deyaji and said to the robber, "You can leave now. We won't hold it against you if you can still get away."

The robber was so angry he almost laughed. Was this a threat? He was a mixed-race person and knew that Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya were both mixed-race.

However, he was well-prepared and knew that none of the people in this group were skilled in combat, so he was not flustered.

The wedding was disrupted, and the crows that had initially intended to be on alert remained motionless, merely staring at one of the unfortunate hostages and whispering:

"Young Master, what brings you here?"

Young Master? Who is the Young Master?

The unfortunate robber's mind didn't even have time to process what was happening before it stopped working, because his head fell off.

Blood splattered far and wide. When the robber's head fell to the ground, his eyes were still open, watching his body fall as if he hadn't realized what had happened.

Fortunately, the ordinary people have already fled, otherwise such a bloody and terrifying scene would probably scare people to death.

Even though the ordinary people had all fled, the remaining family members were still taken aback.

Even though they were either gangsters accustomed to bloodshed or mixed-race executives walking on the edge of danger, they still found it hard to bear seeing such a bizarre and bloody scene.

Yuan Zhinü still held her hand up, and no one saw how she did it. To everyone, it seemed as if she had simply raised her hand and the robber's head had been scared off on its own.

Ignoring everyone's feelings, Yuan Zhinv sighed, her expression even somewhat melancholy. She hadn't experienced the feeling of beheading in a long time; she hadn't done it since killing Nidhogg.
