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

Genjiro wanted to help, but the girl casually tossed Caesar, such a large man, into a trash can as easily as throwing a doll.

As if it had just been cleaned, there was not much trash in the trash can, which allowed Caesar, who was definitely a large man, to fit inside.

However, his expensive suit was instantly stained beyond recognition, and Genji couldn't bear to look at it.

She slammed the lid of the trash can shut, making sure no one was out of sight, and then clapped her hands: "Let's go."

After all, they were classmates, and this was all she could do to help. Sigh, she's so kind.

With a sigh in her heart, she finished speaking and left without waiting for a response, leaving Genji to follow.

In front of this girl, he had no confidence at all, feeling as uneasy as a poor student facing a teacher, afraid that he might say something that would displease the teacher.

He had already angered Genjiro many times, and he didn't want to make her angry again. In the fourth year since their sibling estrangement, Genjiro clumsily tried to repair their relationship.

Genjiro, on the other hand, had fewer concerns and gave direct and concise instructions.

“I need you to stay in constant contact with me, but you can’t be discovered by Caesar. Caesar’s Word of Power is Kamaitachi, and you’ve already been discovered.”

Genji lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry..."

“I remember you were once a top performer in the Execution Department. Weren’t you quite efficient at killing those demons?” Genji asked a genuine question, but Genji’s face turned pale upon hearing this.

He remembered the demons who had died at his hands, and his first task was to plunge a knife into the heart of the girl in front of him.

Yuan Zhinü waited for a long time but Yuan Zhisheng didn't speak. When she turned around, she saw his dejected appearance and instantly realized that she might have said something wrong.

It would be a lie to say she doesn't resent Genjiro, but she has indeed forgiven him. She has finally moved on from that incredibly painful past, but Genjiro is trapped in it again.

It's almost like reincarnation.

With a soft sigh, Yuan Zhi Nu suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, pretending not to see the boy's pale face, and continued, "I need you to prepare a large amount of liquid nitrogen. Dad should have told you about the objective of this mission, right?"

Genjiro nodded: "It is the King of Bronze and Fire."

"Yes, I will find a way to retrieve it from the water. You need to keep an eye on my movements and be ready to assist me at any time. When I hand over Constantine's cocoon to you, you must seal it with liquid nitrogen to isolate it from all contact with the outside world, especially metal."

"Then quickly send them back to Japan, preferably to a place where hybrids can't easily reach them, such as the secret room under the Paradise Mansion, especially far away from Old Tang, and absolutely do not let them meet."

"Most importantly, you must not let anyone discover your identity. We must also be careful with our contact. After this, except when I hand Constantine over to you, we should not meet at any other time."

Yuan Zhisheng tilted his head and listened attentively, nodding only after making sure he hadn't missed anything: "Understood."

Yuan Zhinv added a few more details, and when she realized it was almost time, she simply concluded, "That's about it. Contact me if anything comes up. I'm leaving now."

Watching the girl turn and walk away, Genjiro instinctively called out, "Chijo..."

Yuan Zhinü did not turn around, but her steps faltered slightly.

"I'm sorry," Genji said softly. "Take care of yourself."

After a brief silence, the girl finally softened and spoke.

"understood."

……

Yuan Zhinü didn't rush to see Mans. After packing her luggage, she hid the knife in her baseball bag and went out.

There were many fishing boats on the Yangtze River at that time. She randomly picked one, negotiated a price, and rented it directly.

The boatman who rented the boat was an honest, middle-aged man. Although he didn't know what Yuan Zhinü was going to do, he still earnestly gave her a few words of advice, such as to be careful.

Yuan Zhinu nodded indifferently, rowed the boat directly away from the shore. Her movements were a little clumsy at first, but she quickly got the hang of it and disappeared from the fisherman's sight in no time.

The boatman watched her leave, feeling uneasy. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about this beautiful girl.

It was a sunny day, and the bright sunlight shone on the shimmering river, reflecting a beautiful white light. Yuan Zhinv rowed her boat, looking around at her surroundings.

Mans chose a base around the "Kuimen Project". She had familiarized herself with the place many times in the latest simulation and was here to scout it out.

Finally, they arrived at the spot where they had launched themselves, and looking at the calm, bottomless water beside the boat, Yuan Zhinv even considered jumping in to take a look, but of course she held back in the end.

She planned to go down and check again when she was fully prepared. After confirming that she hadn't gone to the wrong place by looking at the scenery on both sides of the river, she slowly rowed back.

The boatman's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he rushed over to greet her: "You're finally back! I thought you weren't coming back."

Yuan Zhinv found this somewhat amusing: "Where else can I go if I don't come back?"

"Who knows? Maybe he'll just jump in on a whim," the boatman joked, scratching his head.

“How could that be? Who would rent a boat to jump into the river?” Yuan Zhinu laughed as well.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yuan Zhinv asked for the other party's contact information, saying that she would contact him again next time she needed to rent a boat. The boatman was very happy and cheerfully promised to give her a discount next time.

Genjiro strolled leisurely away from the riverbank before slowly returning to the encampment.

It was almost dark by then, and the sun was struggling to drown behind the clouds, the entire horizon bathed in a golden afterglow.

When Yuan Zhinv returned, she saw the crowd pacing anxiously and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw her, and they quickly surrounded her. The middle-aged man at the head seemed to be Professor Mans, who was in charge of this mission.

"You must be Kazama Ruri. Why are you only arriving now?"

Yuan Zhinu casually replied, "I've been here for a while now, and I just took a stroll along the riverbank."

Mans, too lazy to bother with the fact that she left without saying goodbye, hurriedly asked, "What about Caesar? Didn't he say he was coming to pick you up?"

Yuan Zhinu looked puzzled: "I don't know, I came by taxi."

Mans frowned, his expression turning serious: "Then where could he have gone? His car is still right here."

Yuan Zhinv blinked innocently: "Maybe she was in a bad mood and went out for a walk to clear her head."

Mans sighed deeply: "Well, I hope so. You must be tired from the long journey. Go back and rest first."

Even after saying that, he still felt uneasy and ordered his men to continue searching, while simultaneously dialing Caesar's number repeatedly.

Less than 100 meters away from them, a cell phone was vibrating incessantly inside a large trash can.

Watching them bustling about, Yuan Zhinü left without a care in the world, casually tossing out a single sentence:

"Professor, you don't need to worry too much. Maybe he'll come back on his own tomorrow."

"They're all adults, they can't possibly get lost."

Chapter 93 Finding the Dragon: She's a Professional

Just as Genjiro said, Caesar returned on his own the next day.

It's just that her appearance is a bit off.

His expensive suit was filthy beyond recognition, and his usually proud and handsome face was now so black it was hard to tell whether it was dust or his expression...

Mans was quite surprised to see him like this: "Caesar, were you robbed?"

Caesar ignored the professor's question and instead looked at the girl standing behind Mans.

To be honest, he was somewhat devastated when he found himself waking up in a trash can. This once arrogant and domineering young master had never experienced such treatment before. For a moment, he forgot his anger and only felt absurdity.

But the girl just stood there listlessly, not even bothering to look at him, as if what happened last night had never happened.

Caesar was about to question her, but just then, the girl raised her head, her dark eyes looking straight at him.

Her face was completely expressionless, and her dark eyes were as still as a deep well, but when Caesar looked into those eyes, he suddenly couldn't say a word and felt a chill run down his spine.

The feeling was like being targeted by a venomous snake.

In the brief moment he remained silent, he had already missed the best opportunity to speak. Mans urged, "Go take a shower. You smell like you crawled out of a garbage can."

Caesar: "..."

Caesar was speechless, and indeed couldn't stand his own stench, so he swallowed his questions and silently went to clean up.

When he reappeared, it was at the pre-mobilization meeting convened by Mans.

Mans, with a serious expression, held many blueprints in his hands, seemingly studying something. The others involved in the operation sat below whispering among themselves. Caesar's gaze swept around and finally spotted Genji sitting alone in a corner.

She was sitting in the corner wiping her knife.

Caesar walked over and sat down next to the girl. He smelled a faint scent of blood, and looking down, he realized that the smell was coming from the knife.

It was a cherry-red longsword, slender and sharp. As the girl carefully wiped it, the blade reflected a white light. One glance was enough to tell that it was a terrifying weapon, full of malevolent energy.

At the same time, a constant stench of blood emanated from the knife, making it hard to imagine how many people this knife had killed and how much blood it had been soaked in.

Caesar raised an eyebrow and spoke first: "I investigated you, but I found nothing."

"So?" Genji asked without looking up. She knew that Uesugi had used Princess Kaguya to conceal her identity.

"So, is your family really in that situation, as you described? So poor that you can't even afford to go to school?"

Having lacked nothing but money since childhood, Caesar Gattuso now had genuine doubt in his blue eyes.

He had probably been troubled for a long time. Although he had heard that there were poor people in the world who did not live well, he still found it hard to imagine why someone could be so poor.

Yuan Zhinu looked at him as if he were an idiot and didn't bother to answer.

Caesar misunderstood. He thought that Genji was too shy to speak, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. He thought that the girl's sharp edge must have been shaped by her environment. She must have suffered a lot when she was young, which is why she turned out this way.

Caesar reached out and scratched the blonde hair, deciding to generously forgive the poor girl. The men of the Gattuso family were always full of love and patience for women, even if this woman had just thrown him in the trash.

"Who is that person? Why did you knock me unconscious? Do you know that person?" Caesar asked her.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Genji sheathed her sword and said casually, "Hitting you was just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

Caesar raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Professor Mans's voice.

The serious-looking middle-aged man cleared his throat and, seeing everyone looking over, spoke earnestly: "I believe you all understand the purpose of our visit. I am Mans, the person in charge of this operation."

"I hope that everyone here will strictly follow my orders and refrain from acting independently. I also wish the 'Kuimen Project' a successful completion."

The crowd clapped sparsely, but Mans waved his hand to stop them, placed the blueprints in his hand on the tactics board behind him, and said with a stern face, "This is our position."

He pointed to a point on the map, then moved to another area of ​​blue water: "This is our expected location."

"Because the Moniach is still undergoing refitting, the official operation is tentatively scheduled for two months later. Before that, we need to study tactical plans and scout out the specific location."

“Ruri Kazama, Caesar Gattuso.” Mans looked at the two in the corner: “I need you two to work together for the next two months, go underwater to familiarize yourselves with the environment, and scout out the location.”

Caesar and Genji nodded simultaneously, indicating that they had no objections.

"Tomorrow, we will begin our first dive. Due to the unknown situation, it may take a lot of time to explore."

At this point, Mans lowered his voice and said, enunciating each word clearly:
