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

"Is he injured? Does he need medical attention?" Uesugi asked anxiously. "And you, Chizuru? Are you alright?"

Yuan Zhinu shook her head. She turned around and waved her hand behind her. The military doctors immediately carried out a stretcher. On the stretcher was Old Tang, who was pale and still unconscious but out of danger.

"Take him back and keep a close watch on him. Monitor him closely. Notify me immediately when he wakes up, and report any unusual activity immediately."

"Yes!"

The girl spoke softly, but her voice carried an undeniable authority. The men in black, seemingly accustomed to her commands, bowed and carried Old Tang to a van, their movements swift and efficient.

Reaching out, she pulled Erii, who was pretending to be dead while hiding in her arms, and pushed her to Sakurai Kogure. Genji looked at Uesugi Kotetsu and said, "Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

She rarely showed such a serious expression, not even when she asked Uesugi Koshi for help or when attacking the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

Uesugi made a decision instantly. He nodded seriously, his expression turning solemn: "Okay."

Genjiro then looked at Sakurai Kogure: "Settle my classmate in."

Sakurai Kogure nodded slightly, while pressing down on Erii, who was trying to continue her attack on Genji: "Don't worry."

Genji reached out and touched Erii's soft hair, said a few comforting words, and then turned and followed Uesugi Kotsugi away.

Chu Zihang watched the two of them get into a black Hummer. Before he could look away, he heard the charming girl speak in fluent Chinese.

"Let's go, little classmate." Sakurai Kogure smiled at him and asked, seemingly casually, "What's your relationship with Chizuru? Are you just classmates? You two seem to get along quite well."

Chu Zihang: "She is still my senior, and we have the same mentor."

Sakurai Kogure's smile immediately brightened: "Is that so? Then why don't you tell me about what happened at school? I'm very curious."

Chu Zihang nodded hesitantly and followed Sakurai Kogure away, but his gaze lingered on the boy who looked very similar to Genji.

The boy had remained silent at the back of the crowd since he appeared. He looked at least eight or nine parts similar to Genji, the only difference being their auras. The boy seemed to be shrouded in a melancholy and negative emotion, and looked somewhat dejected.

Noticing Chu Zihang's gaze, the boy looked up and gave him a deep look.

Chu Zihang passed him by, but he could feel the boy's eyes on him until he got into the car.

"Ignore that guy." Sakurai Kogure seemed to sense his confusion and casually said, "He's always the same deadpan character."

"Who is that person?" Chu Zihang finally couldn't help but ask, because the two looked too alike.

“He’s Chizuru’s older brother, but they don’t get along very well,” Sakurai Kogure said dismissively, not really wanting to continue the topic, and quickly moved on: “Tell me about Chizuru’s life at school!”

"You two are such good friends, you must know quite a bit, right?"

The girl's face was full of gossip, and even the little red-haired girl looked at him curiously, her dark red eyes sparkling.

Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment: "...Actually, I didn't know her name was Zhinu before today. She told me her name was Kazama Ruri."

"So, what is her name?"

Erii: "?"

Sakurai Kogure: "..."

...

The black, extended Hummer was parked quietly outside the airport. The rear compartment was a private space, completely separated from the driver's seat, and decorated with black driftwood and pure white lambskin.

The back seat was spacious, and in the temperature-controlled wine cabinet, crystal wine glasses jingled as the car swayed. Uesugi Kotetsu skillfully picked up a wine glass, opened the ice bucket, and looked at Genji with a questioning gaze.

Minamoto no Chizuru: "Vodka."

"Girls shouldn't always drink such strong liquor, and they shouldn't always smoke cigars. I can smell the smoke on you. Even your brother doesn't smoke cigars..."

Uesugi Kotsushi kept complaining, but still picked up the bottle of vodka and poured a full glass for Genjiro.

"Thank you." Genji took the wine glass, completely ignoring Uesugi Etsu's complaints, and went straight to the point: "I have something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"Did you see the injured man on that stretcher just now?"

"I saw him. What's wrong? Is there anything special about that person?" Uesugi asked, his brows furrowed. A strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart because he sensed that Genji was paying excessive attention to that person.

When he received the call, he found it hard to believe that Yuan Zhinü would go to such lengths for someone. He knew Yuan Zhinü's personality; she would never bother him unless absolutely necessary. So how much must she value this to call him without hesitation?

With this serious attitude, it's like she's introducing her crush to her parents!

Uesugi became increasingly anxious as he thought about it, almost unable to sit still. He couldn't imagine what it would be like for Genji to fall for a boy, and he felt like his precious cabbage was about to be eaten by a pig.

He racked his brains to find the right words and carefully began, "Young lady, I think you're still young, there's no need to rush into thinking about marriage."

Yuan Zongnu: "?"

He practically begged for your advice: "You need to meet more people to know what kind of person is right for you. Don't make a hasty decision!"

Yuan Zhennu: "..."

Yuan Zhinu was speechless: "Dad, you've misunderstood. I'm not familiar with that guy. What are you thinking? Besides, I prefer girls."

Uesugi Osamu exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

Genji realized she might have let something slip and quickly changed the subject: "Actually, that guy is a dragon."

"Dragon what?! Explain yourself clearly first. What do you mean you like girls? Is it Xiao Mu? I knew that girl had ulterior motives towards you!"

Yuan Zhinv looked at him speechlessly, and Uesugi Yue immediately became intimidated and shut up, clumsily changing the subject: "Then let's talk about dragons."

"Wait, what's that?" Uesugi Kotetsu suddenly realized something, his eyes widening. "What did you say that thing was?"

"It's a dragon."

Yuan Zhinv added word by word: "Do you know Norton? The King of Bronze and Fire is him, but he has not awakened yet and currently mistakenly believes that he is a human."

Uesugi Koshi murmured blankly, "...Actually, I don't really want to know either."

Chapter 84 How can one dragon be enough for raising dragons?

Just a few months ago, Uesugi Koshi thought he would live with that little ramen stall until he died, and that it would be best if he could go to France before he died, and close his eyes to the sound of bells in the church he remembered.

Countless nuns will pray for him, and he will be buried under God's grace, alone and holy.

Back then, he could never have imagined that a few months later he would be sitting in the private car of a Japanese yakuza patriarch, listening to his daughter tell him that she had brought back a dragon.

But Yuan Zhinv didn't think there was anything wrong: "He hasn't awakened and hasn't recovered his memory. He's just an ordinary person now. I think we can keep him in captivity."

Captive breeding, a complete service?

Uesugi felt like he had misheard, and several question marks slowly appeared on his forehead. He couldn't help but ask, "Why not just kill them?"

"Hybrids and dragons are natural enemies. Isn't now the best time to kill this guy before he recovers his power?"

"I was originally going to kill him, but there was a nasty guy plotting against me. He seemed to want to make me kill Norton and become the next Herzog."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kotsuki instinctively widened his eyes, but Genji's next words shocked him even more.

"Dad, I showed you Herzog's files. Do you remember there was a guy named Bondarev in it?"

"I seem to remember him. What happened to him?"

“That guy is the culprit behind everything. Herzog is a pawn controlled by him. He has always been hiding behind the scenes, and he paved the way for Herzog.”

Genjitsu told Uesugi Koshi all her guesses and things about Bondarev, and Uesugi Koshi's expression became more and more interesting as he listened, until in the end he was completely in disbelief.

“I killed one of his doubles, but I don’t know where his real body is hiding. I suspect he might be some damned Dragon King.”

“He wanted to resurrect the White King and then kill him, perhaps to test whether a person could seize the power of a king, or perhaps for the White King’s remains, but Herzog is dead, so now he has his sights set on me.”

"He wants me to become the new White King, and then kill me."

Genjiro's calm voice was like a thunderclap, startling Uesugi Kotsugu into breaking out in a cold sweat. This enormous conspiracy was like a vast net, sweeping down on him from all sides, making him instinctively feel suffocated.

But looking at the thin, pale girl in front of him, a huge anger exploded in his heart, almost burning away his reason.

"I will never allow this to happen!" Veins bulged on the old man's forehead, his eyes widened in fury, and he gritted his teeth: "I'm going to kill that guy!"

Compared to his excitement, Genjiro appeared quite calm and composed: "Becoming the White King isn't so bad. Who kills whom is still uncertain. My main concern is that there might be a trap here."

A surge of anger vanished, and Uesugi Kotsushi froze, stunned: "What?"

"In short, Dad, please pay attention to this matter. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives enter the Snake Clan. The Japanese underworld must never be used as a pawn again. As for whether or not to kill Norton, I will have an answer in a couple of days."

Calculating the time, there were still more than ten hours before the simulator refreshed its simulation count. Yuan Zhinv gave a perfunctory reason: "I need to think about it."

Uesugi Kotsushi seemed to want to say something, but in the end all his words were swallowed back. He sighed, his voice filled with deep helplessness.

“My dear girl, sometimes you can rely on us a little more.”

Genjitsu didn't say anything. Looking at the girl's pale face, Uesugi Yue couldn't stop feeling heartbroken. However, he didn't say anything in the end. He just made a secret decision in his heart.

Even if he can't help her, the Snake Clan under his command will never become her weakness; he will be her strongest support.

They walked in silence until they reached their familiar room. She had just sat down when she heard a very soft noise behind her.

Yuan Zhinv did not turn around. After a moment, a pair of soft, warm hands touched her head and gently massaged several acupoints. A familiar warm fragrance lingered around her nose.

Genjiro relaxed and closed her eyes. Sakurai Kogure's gentle voice rang in her ears, her tone filled with undisguised heartache.

"You always seem so tired. You've already done so well, can't you give yourself a break?"

“But the crisis isn’t over yet,” Yuan Zhinv sighed. “Once we kill all those damned things, we should be able to rest.”

"Will it take a long time?"

"It will take a long time."

Sakurai Kogure didn't speak again. Genji became more and more relaxed under her gentle massage. Smelling the faint warm fragrance, the restless emotions that had been lingering in her heart were slowly soothed, and her breathing gradually became even.

Since arriving in Tokyo many years ago, Genji has faced unimaginable pressure and challenges every day. Countless brushes with death once drove her to a mental breakdown, turning her into a bloodthirsty madwoman. Only Sakurai Kogure could comfort her during these times.

Sakurai Kogure looked at the sleeping girl and carefully pulled her into her arms. She leaned against the edge of the bed contentedly, closed her eyes, and her lips moved slightly.

"No matter how long it takes, I will always be with you."

The sound was very soft, and it disappeared into the quiet room in an instant, as if it had never been heard, leaving only a dimly lit room.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened. In the dim room, the charming girl hugged the pale and thin girl tightly, just like countless nights before.

Yuan Zhinv had a rare good night's sleep.

When she woke up and opened her eyes, it was already bright daylight. There was a steaming breakfast on the bedside table, next to her long knife that had been cleaned and polished, with a note under the knife.

Genji picked up the note and took a look. On it was Sakurai Kogure's beautiful handwriting:

Erii kept asking to come see you, so I took her out to play. Now go do whatever you need to do.
