“Then come find me. I’m on my way back to the Genji family… my home is…” Genji almost forgot that he already had a home.
"Okay, I'll come find you."
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Zhisheng didn't speak or continue the topic he had been sighing about. The car remained quiet until it stopped in front of Yuan Zhisheng's "home".
Sakura and the other two did not follow him inside, but waited outside.
Genjiro opened the door and smelled the aroma. Erii and Uesugi Kotsu were already at the dining table, waiting for him to come back and start the meal.
Hearing the door open, Erii looked up from her game console and towards the door. Upon seeing who it was, she whispered, "Brother, you're back."
"Hmm, why don't you eat first?" Yuan Zhisheng's expression remained normal, but his heart was filled with complex emotions.
"Dad said that the family can only eat when everyone is here," Erii said softly. "Brother, come and try my cooking."
“Okay.” After sitting down, Genji glanced at Uesugi Kotsugi, who looked somewhat nervous yet smiling, and asked her, “Did Mr. Uesugi Kotsugi teach you how to cook?”
Erii said, "No, it was Lu Mingfei who taught me."
Uesugi Kotsushi's smile gradually disappeared. Although he had asked about it when Erii said she was going to cook, which made him less surprised, he was still very unhappy to hear it again now.
"Ah."
Yuan Zhisheng didn't ask or think much about the question, but when Erii mentioned Lu Mingfei, he remembered the phone call he received in the car.
It was unclear when Lu Mingfei would arrive. Perhaps he would arrive just as they finished eating or near the end of the meal, which would be a bit... Yuan Zhisheng, who lacked experience in hosting, was somewhat troubled.
However, he still told Erii, "Lu Mingfei will come to find me later."
"Oh, okay." Erii nodded gently, knowing that Lu Ming insisted on coming, and said, "Then I'll set aside a portion for him."
When Xia Mi was staying at Lu Mingfei's place, Lu Mingfei would cook a meal, but before Xia Mi returned, he would set aside a portion of the meal for her.
Chapter 136 Do you have a ghost in your house?
Erii diligently set aside a portion of lunch for Lu Mingfei, waiting for him to evaluate the meal she had prepared entirely.
Yuan Zhisheng just felt that his younger sister's common sense needed improvement, because she didn't ask Lu Mingfei if he would bring any people with him. What if three people came and there was only one meal?
Uesugi Kotsugi was even more annoyed. He looked away from his daughter and asked Genjiro, "What does he want with you?"
"He said there was some progress on the Ghost Clan, but some family data was needed for comparison."
"And then he came to our house looking for you?" Uesugi Yue seemed to have seen through Lu Mingfei's little trick.
Genjiro was speechless at Uesugi Kotsu's suspicious attitude: "He didn't specify where to look for me."
Uesugi Kotsuki immediately fell silent and started eating quietly.
Erii's cooking skills were mediocre, even somewhat bland and unappetizing. However, this was the first time she had cooked for Genjiro and Uesugi Koshi, and the two were very accommodating, cleaning the plates thoroughly.
After finishing the meal, Erii offered to clean up the mess, but Uesugi Koshi and Genji took the job from her and kicked her out of the kitchen.
"Eri probably didn't have any concept of cooking or cleaning up dishes before, right?" Uesugi asked Genji while washing the dishes.
Knowing his thoughts, Genji didn't say anything. Erii hadn't known much before, but she hadn't known any of these things at all. After going out twice, she learned many things that she had never even had a concept of before.
That could only have been learned from Lu Mingfei, but what would happen if Uesugi Yue heard that?
Therefore, Genjiro chose to remain silent.
It's like the sky wanting to rain, or a mother wanting to remarry. Isn't that a normal thing? All he can do is hope that Lu Mingfei is a good person and will treat Erii kindly. If Lu Mingfei doesn't treat Erii well, then if he's still alive, he'll definitely help his sister teach him a lesson...
A knock sounded at the door, and Erii, who was outside the kitchen, ran over and opened it.
Considering that Uesugi Koshi might be from the Chisei family, the system habitually brought a henchman with it to avoid having to deal with any trouble personally.
"You came."
"Hmm." The system then went inside and asked, "Where's your brother?"
"Have you eaten yet? Are you in the kitchen?" Erii asked him.
"I've already eaten," the system replied casually. "Xia Mi, have you eaten?"
"Not yet," Xia Mi replied immediately.
The two girls were sent aside, and the system walked into the kitchen where the sound of washing dishes came from. "Yuan Zhisheng, I have obtained information about the Demon Clan."
"What kind of information?" Yuan Zhisheng washed his hands clean and turned to look at Lu Mingfei.
"The history of the Demon Clan, compiled overnight by Ryoma, the third-in-command of the Demon Clan." The system took out the USB drive and said, "The third-in-command of the Demon Clan suspects that the King and Tachibana Masamune have some kind of cooperative relationship, but he is unable to verify it because he does not have detailed information about the Snake Clan."
The data on this USB drive was compiled by Sakurai Kogure overnight after listening to Kazama Ruri's words. This woman felt that since she had chosen to betray the king, she had to be ruthless and betray him completely.
So she compiled the history of the Ghost Clan's rise to power and detailed information about their kings and generals over the years, saved it on a USB drive, and handed it to Lu Mingfei as a pledge of allegiance.
"General? Tachibana Masamune?"
Genji paused slightly as he took his first step.
Unwilling to look Lu Mingfei in the eye, Uesugi Yue, who had been washing dishes with his back turned, turned around and glanced at him.
“Yes.” The system said, “What we need now is to compare it with the events of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.”
Yuan Zhisheng immediately felt that this was a bit outrageous.
The Snake Clan has been chasing the Demon Clan for so many years, but they have never achieved this level of success—extracting crucial information from the Demon Clan's higher-ups.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been completely unaware that the Ghost Clan was secretly pursuing the White King.
The leader of the Fierce Demon Clan is King General, the second-in-command is Dragon King, and the third-in-command is Dragon Horse. The first two, the Snake Clan, have never even gotten close to them in all these years. The third-in-command has dealt with two, but he didn't get any useful information from them.
Based on some current information, the third-in-command of the Demon Clan should be a woman. As for her name, given that the Demon Clan primarily uses code names, a name is a rare thing.
After all, the demons of the Demon Clan are mostly descended from the Hebi-Hachi family. Knowing each other's names makes it easy to investigate their relationships and so on.
Genji stopped and paused before saying, "The family information is all in Genji Heavy Industries. I'll have to go back and look it up. Can you tell me about Tachibana Masamune first? I have a general understanding of his development over the years."
After being taken out of the mountain village by Tachibana Masamune, Genji became the young master and also asked Tachibana Masamune about the history of how this great man rose to power.
Where is the computer?
“I have some in my room.”
Yuan Zhisheng led Lu Mingfei into his room. When the computer was turned on, his unpredictable eyes looked at the network cable.
Finally, he chose to unplug the network cable before inserting the USB drive.
This house was purchased by Uesugi Koshi after he returned to the Hebi-hachi family. If Tachibana Masamune, the former patriarch, had problems, he might have decorated this house.
The Kaguya-hime system, a powerful artificial intelligence, is generally not used, but only the person using it knows whether it is actually active or not.
Genjiro had just assumed the position of patriarch and hadn't yet had time to fill important positions. It wasn't that he was paranoid, but rather that he had a responsibility to the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and these suspicions and vigilances were necessary.
When the USB drive was inserted into the computer, a pop-up window displayed the development data of the Oni Clan over the years, recorded by Sakurai Kogure.
The main focus is on a series of plans and operations targeting the losses and replenishment of the Oni Clan, economic development, and circumventing the Snake Clan's influence, as well as a list of Oni Clan members.
Sakurai Kogure, as the head butler, cannot know all the information about the Demon Clan. Some of the people and affairs under the King are beyond her control; she mainly handles routine matters.
However, some problems can also be found in these daily things and records.
"Tachibana Masamune returned to the family in 1995..." Genji said, recounting the events from his memory while checking the records on the computer.
The King appeared in the Demon Clan a year earlier than Tachibana Masamune returned to the Snake Clan; the two did not debut on the Japanese stage in the same year.
But what followed was the rapid development of the Demon Clan and their confrontation with the Snake Clan.
"After Tachibana Masamune returned to the family, in addition to cracking down on the Oni Clan, he also dealt with many of the increasingly common Dead Servants incidents in Japan. At first, the family thought that the Oni Clan was behind it all..."
However, according to Sakurai Kogure's information, the fledgling Oni Clan did not have enough money and resources to handle this matter.
The semi-finished evolution medicine that Wang Jiang took out used demons from the Demon Clan, but the number of demons in the Demon Clan is limited and cannot keep up with the increasing number of Dead Servants in Japan.
If we consider the number of vengeful spirits that the Snake Clan has killed over the years, it would be enough to establish three more organizations like the Demon Clan.
Yuan Zhisheng's eyes gradually drifted away, his mind wandering.
Even before he became the patriarch, he knew that there was a problem with the number of Deadpools in Japan. If there were a few more of these, no one would think it was abnormal, but what if there were twice or three times more than before?
Some veteran members of the Executive Bureau would chat casually and say that the rise of the Oni Clan led to an even greater proliferation of Deadpools. Where did Japan get so many Deadpools before 95?
In the reports sent to Kassel College, this abnormal data would certainly not be fully transmitted. Even if Inuyama He was in charge, he would not have done so, because even if the number of Deadpools had not surged before, the number of Deadpools in Japan was far greater than in other regions.
But with the rise of the King and Tachibana Masamune to the Japanese stage, the political landscape of Japan changed.
Even after uniting as one, the Snake Clan was unable to overwhelmingly crush the Shadow Organization of the Demon Clan; instead, they became increasingly busy.
Underworld business is easy to handle; if they don't submit, you can beat them until they do. But dealing with the Ghosts and capturing Deadpool are different; they become much more difficult.
Yuan Zhisheng gradually fell silent, flipping through the documents.
He still needs to go back and review the detailed information about how Tachibana Masamune rose through the ranks by cracking down on the Demon Clan.
The Deadpool incident doesn't seem to have much to do with Tachibana Masamune and the King, since the Oni Clan didn't create that many Deadpools.
Upon hearing about the Deadpools' later proliferation in Japan, the system recalled the Deadpools in the basement of Genji Heavy Industries and asked Genji Zhisheng, "By the way, these Deadpools didn't escape from your Genji Heavy Industries experiments, did they? Didn't you keep quite a few Deadpools?"
Although the proportion of dangerous mixed-race individuals in Japan is far higher than in other regions, such individuals are destined to be few in number.
Before 95, if the Snake Clan had to deal with less than one hundred Dead Servants a year, then that number would be two or three times higher, but still only two or three hundred.
There are at least a hundred of these creatures in the breeding ponds in the basement of Genji Heavy Industries.
"They escaped from the lab? They've been keeping a lot of Dead Servants?"
Yuan Zhisheng looked away from the computer screen and turned to look at Lu Mingfei's face with a puzzled expression.
He had never heard of this in all his years with the Snake Clan. After all, who would raise a Deadpool? What use are Deadpools if they only know how to kill and eat and can't communicate?
Seeing the confusion in Genji's eyes, the system asked again, "Those dead servants kept in the basement of Genji Heavy Industries, I see there are quite a few, at least a hundred, and you, the patriarch, don't know?"
Genji slowly shook his head, and then the two of them looked at each other with serious expressions.
Keeping hundreds of assassins, even within the Minamoto clan's heavily fortified industrial base, the heart of the Snake Clan, was something no one told Minamoto no Chisei, the young patriarch, after he ascended to the position of clan head...
"Looks like you're keeping a ghost in your house, a big one at that," the system said.
Genji didn't ask him how he knew about this, but he seemed to understand who had done it: "The basement of Genji Heavy Industries is a parking garage, and below that is a shipyard that leads directly to Tokyo Bay. Families usually use it for smuggling, but I've never heard of a laboratory there..."
Chapter 137 The Role of Imperial Blood?
The system held down Yuan Zhisheng, who was about to get up, and pressed him back down in front of the computer desk.
