Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

The sound of the tunneling machine came from below. Miyamoto Shio turned the tunneling machine to its maximum power. It wouldn't be long before it broke through. Of course, it was also possible that the Demon Clan would take the lead.

All the mercury used to kill the god had been poured out, and the thermite was ready.

Zero, still holding the large black umbrella, jumped onto a crossbeam and waited quietly.

Her body looked so petite and delicate, like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old junior high school girl. Any thug could beat her up and make her cry for a long time.

But she stood quietly on the high beam, like a little queen ruling the world, looking down on all living beings, telling everyone in the Red Well that this place was under her control and that she was in charge.

The sniper tried several times to muster the courage to load the bullet and fire, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

That girl had such an imposing presence!

He mustered his last bit of courage and decided to run away.

Yes, he was afraid. Escaping is shameful but useful; this has always been the Japanese philosophy of life. Only brainwashed fools during the nuclear era would dare to charge into battle. Only a useless person in the Heisei era would not lose their life for no reason.

So he nimbly retreated to the outside of the dense forest, preparing to escape and spend this time in hiding, regardless of whether the Demon Clan or the Snake Clan would win.

However, he had only just escaped to the ground in the dense forest when he froze. A laser device had detected him; it was a trap set by the Fuma clan's ninjas using Self-Defense Force resources.

The sniper ultimately died a humiliating death, just as Zero had suspected; he had a cowardly heart and was unworthy to fight her.

Thirty minutes had passed, the ground began to weaken, and then a shrill roar came from below the cave, like the howl of a vicious dragon, its sound filled with such pain.

It seems that Miyamoto Shio succeeded; he was the first to open the well containing the remains and poured in mercury and thermite.

In the Well of Bones, besides the 'gods', there are also various creatures that guard the gods, such as the dragon executioner, the Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper, numbering in the tens of thousands, as well as many snake-like monsters.

They are now all soaked in mercury, which is deadly to dragons and their subspecies.

The vipers were swimming in the mercury, seemingly trying to reach the surface and leap out. However, the mercury surface was eighty meters above the well opening, making it impossible for the vipers to jump up. They could only slowly die amidst their wailing cries.

Zero remained standing on the beam, watching the dragon subspecies below slowly die, his face expressionless.

Inside the Red Well, mercury vapor from the evaporation of mercury began to permeate the air. Zero unknowingly inhaled some mercury vapor, causing her to show signs of mild poisoning, with a slight nosebleed.

The roar of helicopter rotors echoed in the sky, and Genji saw the Ghost-toothed Vipers struggling in the mercury.

Yaksha used the searchlight on the helicopter to illuminate the zero on the crossbeam.

"Don't look at her," Yuan Zhisheng ordered, as he was about to lower the rope.

Soon, Genji arrived at the crossbeam, but Zero didn't look at him at all, as if he didn't exist. She just glanced at her watch again; thirty-five minutes had passed, and she had kept her promise.

She took a slow step, but blood seeped from her knee. It turned out that she had been injured when she ambushed Asuya at the end. If that sniper had dared to come forward, she would probably have had a fierce battle even if she hadn't died.

But the sniper was too cowardly and had no courage to fight. He was completely intimidated by Zero's imposing presence.

Ling limped toward Asuya's sports car, preparing to drive and meet up with Lu Mingfei and the others.

She brushed past Yuan Zhisheng, who noticed the school badge on her chest; he had the same badge too.

In terms of stance, the Snake Clan and the Secret Party are aligned; they both want to kill the gods and do not want to see the gods awaken.

Therefore, Genjiro does not intend to say thank you.

However, he admired Zero so much that he still threw her a first-aid kit.

Zero caught it with a flick of his wrist, thought for a moment, then tossed the Kikuichimonji Norimune katana, which represented his family's main sword, back to Genji, telling him that the people below were already dead and that he had asked him to return the sword.

Genjiro thought of the head of the Miyamoto family with some nostalgia. He was only a few years older than him and was also a senior at Kassel College.

Chapter 478 Negotiations in the Rain

Genji asked the girl, "May I ask your name?"

"Zero, undergraduate student at Kassel College, student ID AI042251, temporary specialist in the Executive Department." Zero walked somewhat awkwardly into Asuya's sports car, an Italian supercar.

She turned the car around, drove onto the lifting platform, and then floored the accelerator, driving straight out of Hongjing. Before long, her speed reached 150 km/h, speeding along the makeshift road.

*……*……*

At this moment, the host club in Takamagahara is surrounded by nearly a thousand A-class mixed-race men from Tokyo.

At three o'clock in the morning, Caesar, Chu Zihang and others were still entertaining guests, playing Japanese mahjong with them in the store, where the loser had to take off their clothes.

When Caesar had lost so much that he was left with only his underwear, and was about to lose even that, it was the loyal Chu Zihang who stepped in to help Caesar.

Just then, a waiter came in and told Caesar and Chu Zihang that their photos had appeared on various billboards throughout Tokyo.

Photos of Caesar, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and Yuan Zhinv are all on it, but not Fingel's. Fingel complains that they look down on him, since he also became a male escort, and Yuan Zhinv said he has talent.

Caesar and Chu Zihang immediately sensed something was wrong and sent Fingel and Lu Mingfei back to their room to guard Yuan Zhinü, while the two of them stood guard outside the door.

Within minutes, the area surrounding the host club in Takamagahara was completely surrounded. Caesar and Chu Zihang, who were guarding each other back to back, were surrounded by heavily armed men. Hundreds of guns were pointed at them, but no one fired.

One side consisted of only two people, while the other side had hundreds of people. However, Caesar and Chu Zihang remained unfazed. The two sides faced off for half an hour, but the members of the Snake Clan did not advance an inch, seemingly waiting for the most important person to arrive.

"What kind of attitude is this? They come to our door and make us wait." On the roof of Gaotianyuan, Gu Ran descended from the sky carrying two large plastic bags.

When he jumped down, countless guns were pointed at him.

"What are you doing here?" Caesar asked, somewhat displeased. "I'm counting on you to see this news and get us reinforcements."

"Without reinforcements, we've always been isolated and helpless." Gu Ran didn't care about the guns pointed at him at all, and just picked up what he was carrying. "I bought some hot pot ingredients. Want to come along? Anyway, we don't know how long we'll have to wait."

He went to buy these ingredients after he woke up; they were already prepared.

"Good idea." Caesar called inside, "Lu Mingfei, bring out the casserole, and while you're at it, move a table. We'll have hot pot at the entrance!"

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, looking at all the guns around him. "Eating hot pot? In front of them?"

"Nonsense, they made us wait, why should we wait for nothing?" Caesar said nonchalantly.

After Gu Ran's reminder, he finally understood.

Genjiro hasn't appeared for so long, there must be something more important going on, but what could be more important than his younger brother?

These gangsters merely surrounded them, not daring to approach, which proved that they wouldn't use force; they were simply controlling them, waiting for Genjiro to come and deal with them personally.

Therefore, they should adopt a relaxed attitude; eating hot pot would be a good choice.

He happened to be hungry too.

The hot pot was quickly set up. Because it was raining outside, they opened the door and set up tables and chairs inside the entrance to Takamagahara.

The reason for not going inside was to avoid implicating the ordinary employees inside Takamagahara, so they only stayed at the entrance, with the gate wide open.

"Standing out in the rain at night, I don't know what you guys are after. Is the salary really that high?" Gu Ran had somehow gotten his hands on some Sichuan-style hot pot base. The aroma of chili peppers and beef tallow filled the rainy streets late at night, and the few thugs around who smelled the aroma couldn't help but swallow hard.

Just as one of the thugs was swallowing hard, Fingel, who was not far away, pressed the shutter and captured the embarrassing moment of him swallowing hard, flashing the camera in their faces.

"Hahaha, if you want to eat, go home and ask your mom to make it for you. What's wrong with watching us eat and drooling? That's really rude," Fingel laughed mockingly.

In the underworld, a leader suddenly stepped forward, slapped each of the gangsters who were swallowing their saliva twice, and scolded them, saying that their behavior had brought shame to their families.

Those thugs didn't fight back or talk back, but they felt a little wronged. The hot pot smelled so good, they couldn't resist...

A petty hoodlum suddenly had a grand plan to make a fortune: he thought Japan could introduce Chinese hot pot and spicy hot pot.

With such a rich aroma, it must taste delicious. People in Japan would love it too. If we introduce it, we'll definitely make a fortune and set a trend!

At the table, five people were eating hot pot around a small folding table, watching the cadres reprimand the person who was swallowing his saliva.

Fingel looked at Gu Ran and whispered, "Do we really want to provoke them like this? I'm afraid they'll come over and overturn the table!"

“What’s there to be afraid of, flipping the table…” Lu Mingfei picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, put it in the pot to cook while looking at the gangsters in front of him, “I’m afraid they’ll suddenly open fire!”

"But I'm afraid I won't get anything to eat if they overturn the table!" Fingel said, somewhat distressed. "I haven't had Gu Ran's hot pot in ages!"

"Idiot!" Lu Mingfei cursed Fingel like Monkey King scolded Pigsy in Journey to the West.

"It's alright, take your time eating. They're not in a hurry, and neither are we." Gu Ran smiled as she turned up the heat of the casserole and added another batch of ingredients.

Once the water boiled, everyone scrambled for the food, shoveling it into their own bowls and eagerly eating.

Eating slowly is impossible.

You have to fight for it! Fingel is a glutton who can eat a lot. I don't know what his mouth is made of. He's not afraid of getting burned when eating hot pot. He doesn't even blow on it after taking it out of the pot.

If they hadn't fought over it, there wouldn't have been much food left for everyone, and Fingel would have eaten it all by himself.

Fortunately, Gu Ran bought enough ingredients, including plenty of beef, pork belly, and all kinds of meatballs.

However, Gu Ran underestimated Fingel's fighting power. He originally planned to eat for forty minutes to an hour, but in half an hour, he finished all the food.

Fingel took a sip of beer, let out a burp, and said, "Not bad, not bad, the ingredients my junior brother prepared are just right..."

Everyone watched Fingel, who had already eaten most of the food.

Since they had finished eating, there was no point in leaving the food there, so Lu Mingfei and Fingel cleaned the table and, as Caesar had instructed, brought out a bottle of whiskey, an ice bucket, and glasses.

Just as they were discussing whether to play a game of Tractor with a few decks of cards, Caesar suddenly heard the sound of a luxury car engine not far away.

Soon, the gangsters made way for a Rolls-Royce to pull up in front of Takamagahara. The driver, undeterred by the rain, got out and opened the back door, revealing Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Sakurai family, standing calmly before the crowd.

Sakurai Nanami stood in the wind and rain. Caesar thought for a moment, then left the doorway, poured himself a glass of wine, and handed it to Chu Zihang. The two of them then went up together.

Sakurai Nanami wasn't wearing her uniform today, but a kimono, and she was also carrying a Hermès bag. This retro yet fashionable outfit suited Japanese society quite well.

Caesar handed a glass of wine to Sakurai Nanami: "Are you in charge of the negotiations tonight?"

Sakurai Nanami, holding the drink, smiled somewhat awkwardly and nervously.

"Senior brother and boss are wicked too. They could have let her in without her getting wet, but they insisted on blocking the door and not letting her in," Gu Ran said loudly, crossing his legs. "They wouldn't happen to want to see a young woman's wet body, would they?"

Sakurai Nanami can be said to still retain her charm. She is not tall, but her skin is very fair. Moreover, mixed-race people are naturally youthful, so she still has the allure of a young girl.

Fingel and Lu Mingfei quickly gave Sakurai Nanami's figure a rather lewd look. Fingel asked, "I heard that in Japan, traditionally, people don't wear underwear under their kimonos..."

"Oh... the existence of kimonos is for making things easier, you know!" Gu Ran said.

"What?" Lu Mingfei asked, somewhat confused.

“Kids don’t need to know!” Fingel said, patting Lu Mingfei on the head like an older brother.

Sakurai Nanami felt a mix of shame and indignation as she listened to these whispers, but she couldn't lash out.

Caesar and Chu Zihang were both exasperated, and didn't really want to talk to the three people behind them.

However, they also knew that Gu Ran's strategy seemed to be to provoke Sakurai Nanami.

However... the methods used were somewhat dishonest.

Get down!
