Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 114

I really don't know what to say.

The death of these hundred or so people would benefit both sides; it would be a win-win situation. Rationally, he had absolutely no reason to refuse.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Don't talk about being ennobled, for one general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand..."

……

Because they urgently needed Erii's inside information in the short term, the system led Lu Mingfei to knock on the door of the Uesugi Koshi family.

Genji was still busy outside, and only Uesugi Kotsu and Uesugi Erii were at home.

The system brought some fruit and delivered it to my door.

Given the circumstances of both parties, few gifts can truly convey sentiment through their value, especially since the system only urgently needs Erii in the short term... Nevertheless, Lu Mingfei still bought an Ultraman doll from a shop near an elementary school and picked it up as a souvenir.

Erii really likes these things, since before, she only had TV dramas and games to keep her company in the hospital ward.

When Uesugi Yue opened the door and saw Lu Mingfei, he didn't show any disgust or ill intent in his tone. He simply said to him calmly, "Yuan Zhisheng isn't home."

He thought the other party had come to see Genjiro, since in this situation, a normal person would think that being concerned about important matters was more important.

"I came to see Erii." Lu Mingfei held up the bag of fruit and Ultraman, feeling a little guilty.

After all, he didn't come here specifically to play with Erii; rather, he approached Erii with ulterior motives and ill intentions.

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kotsugu's previously calm expression changed slightly. He frowned, as if he had something to say, but upon hearing Erii's footsteps coming down the stairs, he changed his mind and said, "Have you eaten? There's still one left for dinner. It was originally meant for Genjiro, but he's not coming back tonight, so I'll just heat it up for you."

"Thank you, no need, may I come in?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Koshi seemed to realize that the guest had been standing outside the door the whole time, which was incredibly impolite... He quickly said, "Oh, come in."

Erii also happened to come downstairs.

"Have you not gone out to play these past two days?" Lu Mingfei asked her casually, then handed her the Ultraman doll: "You said you liked watching Ultraman, so I bought it for you."

"Thank you." Erii carefully took the doll.

"Where is the kitchen? I'd like to wash some fruit..." Lu Mingfei said again.

Uesugi Kotsu, watching from behind: "..."

Looking at Lu Mingfei, whose tone was casual, as if he were back home, he was filled with questions:

Dude, where did this feeling of being right at home come from? Did you come into the wrong house?

Lu Mingfei didn't really think too much about it. When he was with Erii before, they always got along like this, very casually.

If it were a system-controlled account, they might have considered that Uesugi Kotsugi was behind them, but Lu Mingfei, who was a little nervous, was only focused on finding a suitable state to cover up his guilty conscience and wrongdoing, and completely forgot about the man with a dark face behind him...

Go into the kitchen, wash the fruit, arrange it on a plate, and bring it out.

While he was washing the fruit, Erii ran up the stairs and put the Ultraman doll back in her room.

But I don't know what they did, it took them a while to come down again.

Lu Mingfei handed the peeled fruit to her as she came down.

Erii politely accepted the fruit, then picked up a knife and cut it in half, handing one half to Uesugi Kotsugi, who was sitting idly to the side.

Uesugi Kotsugi immediately beamed with joy. Look at this, this is my good daughter. She hasn't forgotten her father at all, sharing half of the fruit with him. Genjiro... doesn't seem to have ever done anything like this... right?

He was afraid that he had misunderstood Genji, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he really hadn't!

Chapter 147 The End of the Ghost Clan

"Have you not gone out these past few days?"

"Actually, staying at home is quite nice too."

Lu Mingfei and Erii picked up the game console and chatted while playing games.

Lu Mingfei chatted casually, while Erii chatted very attentively, focused on the TV screen.

Almost, almost... KO! Erii's K almost touched Iori Yagami, controlled by Lu Mingfei.

The two continued with the next game. Erii was full of fighting spirit, while Lu Mingfei's expression was as casual as if he were playing with his cat... Uesugi, who was sitting on the sofa, looked a little strange, because Lu Mingfei showed absolutely no mercy when playing games with his daughter.

Lu Mingfei didn't really have any special ideas. Beating up Erii was something anyone could do, right? Letting her have her way was much more tiring than beating her up.

This is her true gaming skill level. One should face their true self.

However, Lu Mingfei did not discriminate against her because she had played games for so many years but was still so bad at them.

He'd seen plenty of players like that; they were commonplace.

He acted like a kid visiting friends to play games; once the game was over and it was time to go to bed, he would immediately give a signal to retreat.

Erii didn't respond to his signal to retreat, but before he left, she asked him bluntly, "Is something on your mind?"

Lu Mingfei was completely lost in thought while playing games with her, even though she could easily beat him and make him run away in terror. But last time, Lu Mingfei wasn't like this.

What's on my mind?

Lu Mingfei's concern was probably that he found it difficult to be as ruthless as the system and Yuan Zhisheng, viewing the death list of hundreds of people as just a string of cold, hard data.

He was indeed thinking about his own things, but it just so happened that the purpose of his trip was...

"There's been a lot going on in Japan lately, so it's been a bit of a headache."

After saying that, Lu Mingfei didn't say anything more and quickly went out.

He didn't need to ask Erii for information; she would naturally tell him what she knew about the things he cared about.

They are really using other people's trust for their own benefit. Lu Mingfei doesn't know if those undercover agents will waver when faced with the trust given to them by the leader of the undercover force.

Anyway, Lu Mingfei was somewhat wavering, and unable to bear it, he had no choice but to leave quickly, out of sight, out of mind.

Meanwhile, Uesugi Yue, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed at Lu Mingfei's departing figure.

Besides being surprised that his daughter would take the initiative to care about other men, he was more struck by a sudden realization.

Moreover, if he could think of the problem, wouldn't Genjiro, who had been by Erii's side for a longer time, have thought of it?

But why did Genjiro still do this?

When Genji returned in the middle of the night, he saw Uesugi Kotsugi, who hadn't slept all night and was waiting for him.

Uesugi Kotsugu pulled Genjiro outside again, otherwise Erii might hear them talking inside.

Once outside, he asked Yuan Zhisheng, "Angers knows about the White King's remains. Who do you think told him?"

"I don't know." Genji shook his head gently.

"Have you considered that kid Lu Mingfei?" Uesugi asked further.

Yuan Zhisheng fell silent.

"You trust him that much?"

Uesugi realized that his son had indeed deliberately allowed Erii to know the inside story.

Then, out of trust in Lu Mingfei, Erii would pass the information on to that kid Lu Mingfei.

So he couldn't understand what Yuan Zhisheng was thinking, trusting that kid named Lu Mingfei so much?

Genji spoke up, but not to discuss this matter. Instead, he brought up something else: "Principal Angers told me that they have experience dealing with unhatched dragon kings..."

After Angers obtained the data on the Snake-Headed Eight Families' sonar from Genjiro, he immediately recognized it as the heartbeat of a dragon before it hatched.

They are truly experienced; it's exactly the same as the Greenland incident, only the protagonist is different. This White King might be even more ruthless than the dragon in the Greenland waters.

As for the curse in the Abyss, it's just a spiritual domain formed when a dragon hatches, which can disrupt the magnetic field and cause hallucinations for those who get close.

However, if one's bloodline is good enough, they can develop some immunity to it. Besides, this mission is planned to drop a nuclear bomb directly, so there's no need to get too close.

However, when Angers learned that Genji was planning to launch a nuclear bomb, the way he looked at Genji changed...

Angers felt he had lost; after all, it had to be the Japanese who dealt with the Japanese! No, the title of "Dragon Slayer Pioneer" should be awarded to the Snake Clan!

When he mobilized troops overnight, he also consulted the Alchemy Department. The idea of ​​those explosive maniacs was, of course, to place ten nuclear bombs in a circle around the area where the White King's remains were located, and then detonate them all at once to kill him.

However, Angers, who still possessed the ability to think, considered that Japan's continental shelf was fragile, and if a nuclear bomb were detonated in the trench, Japan might face an earthquake and tsunami.

This was too much of a commotion. Considering the more than 1 million people living on the four main islands of Japan, he declined the proposal and asked them to quickly come up with a more reliable and feasible method.

What was truly surprising was that... Genjiro, this seemingly honest and simple guy, who was clearly a genuine Japanese, chose the nuclear option without hesitation.

Because, apart from the high cost, this is the most effective method.

……

With the Lunar New Year approaching in China, Chu Zihang's mother, Su Xiaoyan, called him to ask when he would be coming home for the holiday.

Chu Zihang said he would be spending the Lunar New Year in Japan and wouldn't be going back.

Su Xiaoyan didn't think too much about his reply; she just told him some trivial things.

Xia Mi turned to look at Lu Mingfei, since neither of them had parents who cared about how they spent the New Year.

So she asked, "Mr. Lu, do you think of your parents during the Chinese New Year?"

"When I was in elementary school, all I could think about was the red envelopes for Chinese New Year, and then I would think about using the money to buy snacks."

Although both of them are now people without parents to love them, the system did not ask her about her childhood. After all, Lu Mingfei's parents were just hiding, while Xia Mi's parents were truly gone.

"Me too, I just wanted to use the money from the red envelope to buy snacks." Xia Mi rested her little arms and hands on the table, propping one cheek up as she looked at Lu Mingfei across from her and said, "When are we leaving for Osaka?"

"Wait a minute." After answering her question, the system said, "I'm thinking about why General Wang moved the headquarters of the Demon Clan to Osaka."

Although the Demon Clan will probably cease to exist after this relocation, it is still a puzzling move for the King to place the new headquarters in Osaka.

In front of Tokyo is Tokyo Bay, and further ahead of Tokyo Bay is the Japan Trench, which is the abyss where the remains of the White King are located.

Osaka's location is different. Although both are located by the sea, Osaka is farther away from the Abyss. If you're aiming for the Abyss, why go so far away?

The Demon Clan also needs to make money. Okay, from an economic point of view, Tokyo is the most suitable. However, the Snake Clan is located here, so being so close is not appropriate. Kanagawa Prefecture is right next to Tokyo, so that won't work either.

The next most important economic regions in Japan are Osaka and Nagoya. Although Osaka is the economic hub of western Japan, Nagoya, the transportation center of Japan, is just as good and is even closer to the Abyss. So why place the headquarters in such a far place as Osaka?

It's really quite puzzling.

"I don't understand." Xia Mi shook her head.

Wang's seemingly indifferent approach to site selection puzzled Long, who found it too casual and lacked any strategic intent.

As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, and it was almost time, the system led its people to meet Sakurai Kogure and the others.
