Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 109

"Those three are the ones up ahead!"

Caesar immediately activated the Kamaitachi, and the sound of the wind was like a series of telephone lines spreading out, reporting the situation from all directions to him.

Armed guards were also stationed at the Sheqi Hachi family's private hospital. Upon hearing the gunshots, they reacted immediately and without hesitation, firing at the pavilion in front of the hospital building.

"Leave one alive!"

Amidst the chaos, before Angers could finish speaking, the sound of machine gun fire quickly ceased.

It seems there are no enemies left?

The flashing blades stopped, and Angers twirled the two swords in his hands, making a final flourish, but without sheathing them.

He held the knife in one hand, adjusted his glasses, and turned to ask Uesugi Kotsugi, "Their methods are indeed quite interesting. Should I say that the Snake Clan is incompetent, or am I wondering just how afraid they are of me coming to Japan to cause them trouble?"

Faced with his question, Uesugi Kotsugi's first reaction was not to explain, but to shift the blame: "I am not a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Family."

As for the question that followed, he sighed, "As for their matter, let Genji explain it to you later; he knows more about it."

An attack on Angers in Japan of this magnitude is nothing like the samurai duel that seemed like a joke when he ambushed Angers before; there has to be an explanation. Even if they don't say anything, Angers would still choose to bring the Kassel College army under these circumstances to investigate personally.

Take a day off

Let me sort this out. All the Japanese characters have been added, and we're starting to wrap up the big event, but I'm not satisfied with how I write it.

Chapter 141 The Appearance of an Old Friend? Here We Go Again?

The system was still figuring out how to extract the remaining value from the Snake Clan and trade with Angers to get some good stuff from the Millennium Secret Party.

With Koange getting his face blasted by machine gun fire and Kassel losing all its prestige, the Snake Clan definitely needs to spill some heavyweight news.

But could this be a self-inflicted wound orchestrated by Kassel? Using the assassinated Inuyama He as bait to lure Angers to a designated location, catching the impatient Angers off guard... This possibility will soon be overturned by the system. Inuyama He knows about the White King's remains, and if he really wanted to inform others, he wouldn't need to stage this whole thing.

So, did Inuyama He send him away because he didn't want to inform anyone?

The White King's bloodline and the White King's sacred remains of the Serpent Clan will definitely have to be given up to attract Angers' attention, or even both. What else can they sell then?

Amidst the chaotic and disordered speculations and analyses, Angers objectively did not need Lu Mingfei's help in any way, mainly because neither Lu Mingfei nor the system could produce anything from the Japanese side.

However, people can create demand even if there is no demand. Just like you need a hoe to dig for gold, spreading news to attract people to dig for gold and selling hoes is also a way of digging for gold.

After a thorough analysis, it was found that neither the system nor Lu Mingfei possessed anything of great value to Angers.

That depends on whether the Snake Clan is willing to leak information to Angers. If they're not willing to tell the truth and reveal the inside story... then I'll have to do it myself...

Since the White King is involved, it's better to play it safe and bring in the Kassel College, this big ship.

With Kassel College entering the fray, it seems inevitable that the bloodline issues of the Snake Clan will be discovered sooner or later. Will they be able to get a share of the pie?

The system immediately switched to analyzing the problem.

Previously, the issue of the Snake Clan had not been fully exposed to the public. If this matter was not spread, even if they could not swallow the whole of Japan this time, they could swallow the elephant with a snake next time. Therefore, the system had no intention of actively exposing it.

But now that things have come to this point, we have to prepare for the worst. If the Snake Clan is dismembered, we should at least get a piece of it, right?

Get started first!

So the system immediately called Su Enxi and asked if she could contact Angers to have a talk.

Su Enxi replied, "Hilbert Jean Angers, the principal of Kassel College? I have no problem getting in touch with him, but whether he'll give me face or not is another matter."

The system said, "He's in Japan right now. You can invite him out to talk to me under the pretext of the situation in Japan. He should be interested."

"Oh, then I'll say hello to him and see if he'd like to come and talk to you." After noting this down, Su Enxi asked, "What do you want to see him for?"

"He was just shot at by machine guns at the Snake-Headed Eight Families. The Snake-Headed Eight Families have to take responsibility for this. I feel that the Snake-Headed Eight Families are about to tell us what happened. Now that this has just happened, let's intercept the news and sell it to Angers. Let's see if we can squeeze some money out of the Kassel College from the Snake-Headed Eight Families incident."

After explaining the benefits to itself, the system added, "The main problem is the White King's remains. If the Serpent Clan tries to cover things up and doesn't tell the whole story, it could be quite troublesome if they can't handle the White King's remains."

"It's best not to wait until the White King's remains reign supreme; kill it as soon as you have the chance."

Upon hearing this, Su Enxi immediately understood his thoughts and said, "Oh, I understand. I will try my best to invite him to sit down and talk with you."

Angers probably won't give a definite reply so soon, so the system went to rescue a dangerous hybrid first.

After implanting the alchemical matrix into this dangerous hybrid, and listening to its vow of undying loyalty, the system calmly glanced at the information on its phone.

Su Enxi: "Okay, you've given him your phone number. He'll call you when he has some free time."

"it is good."

The system sent a brief reply.

Back at the house, I took a moment to think about the assistant situation.

Xia Mi didn't run off to play; instead, she obediently played games. The system glanced at her back, which resembled that of an elementary school student, and then looked away.

Su Enxi is an extremely useful assistant. She can handle most of the logistical tasks, saving a lot of time and trouble.

Unfortunately, Su Enxi isn't one of their own. Cultivating such a capable logistics manager takes time, and Xia Mi currently lacks the resources and abilities to do so. Even if Xia Mi were capable, the system can't immediately provide a system controlled by Su Enxi…

However, the system's first analysis is definitely not to honestly spend time cultivating Xia Mi. It's much faster to steal someone else's ready-made talent than to cultivate him slowly on your own.

It's time for the weighting competition again.

Su Enxi is very important; she's a ready-made logistics manager, and she also possesses formidable earning and business acumen...

The White King's remains, which are now a matter of life and death, are also very important. It might be a fleeting opportunity, and once missed, there might not be another chance. After all, how many opportunities in the world are there to save the world...?

Xia Mi is equally important. She was previously the top priority in the "fastest romance" strategy, and while their relationship is progressing well, it feels somewhat lukewarm because she holds the initiative. The system trying to juggle multiple relationships is too risky; the only option is to proceed cautiously and passively let Xia Mi willingly give herself away, otherwise, it's difficult to maintain a smooth, non-sticky approach.

However, Xia Mi's physical contact was theoretical; it appeared to be in contact, but in reality, the two objects were not actually in contact at the atomic level.

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the system's analysis.

It's not that I want to cancel the mission or anything, it's just that it's so difficult for the system to juggle multiple projects, let alone for an individual to accomplish something great.

The system, however, wasn't as pessimistic as he was: "[...We've already done enough in the last six months...]"

The system's analysis is objective. Putting aside the half-stuck task objective of Xia Mi, it has already done enough in the six months since the system took over and served Lu Mingfei.

Compare Lu Mingfei from six months ago with him now, and who would believe it's the same person? Who would believe that such a significant change could occur in a person within just six months?

[…The New Year is almost here…]

The system then started analyzing things for the New Year, looking for something to do during this Lunar New Year holiday that would be spent in Japan.

I've been in Japan for half a month now. Shilan Junior High School is having a month-long winter break, which is roughly in the middle of the Lunar New Year. The day after tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and the day after that is Lunar New Year's Day.

The Chinese New Year celebrations in China are definitely for people within China. While Japan also has a Spring Festival, it's long been aligned with the Gregorian calendar, so in Japan it's on New Year's Day, January 1st.

You don't have to prepare anything for the Japanese people around you, but you can prepare something for Erii. Given her mental age, she might become curious about Chinese New Year... And then there's Sakurai Kogure and Kazama Ruri. The Oni Clan still needs to work hard on them. Giving them some gifts and surprises won't take much effort and might not increase their sense of belonging, but if their sense of belonging increases, that's definitely more valuable than preparing gifts and surprises.

Xia Mi and Chu Zihang need to prepare. Su Enxi is Chinese, so she also needs to prepare. She could choose one of her target classmates from Shilan Middle School in China, but never mind, she's not that close to them, and given their family background, she might not be able to give them a gift that would be more effective. She'll just send a QQ blessing.

[...The focus is on Erii, Natsumi, Su Enxi, Sakurai Kogure, Chu Zihang, and Kazama Ruri (in order of preference)...]

Once the key targets are identified, the next step is to give suitable gifts, and red envelopes are a must, as Erii likes novel things...

Just as Lu Mingfei was falling asleep, his phone rang beside his bed.

The system immediately forced the body to power on, and the person stood up to answer the phone.

It's an unfamiliar call, but you can probably guess who it is.

"Hello?" A deep, magnetic male voice answered from the other end of the phone, speaking in Chinese.

"Hello," the system replied, "Is this Principal Angers?"

"Yes, General Manager Su contacted me through her subordinates, saying you have detailed information about the recent unusual situation in Japan." The old man spoke unhurriedly: "She said you're also in Japan, can we meet now to talk? I'm in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, there's a place here..."

"Okay," the system agreed.

"Then I'll order first and wait for you to arrive."

After hanging up the phone, I glanced at the time: 12:30 AM Tokyo time.

It certainly isn't late in this city that never sleeps.

The system got up, dressed, and then knocked on Xia Mi's door again.

After Xia Mi learned that Angers had come to Japan, she had been quite curious about this world's first hybrid. Perhaps it was because this girl admired strength and liked those legendary personal experiences?

However, it's fine for the system to broaden her horizons. As long as Angers isn't a dragon, she's still just a "regular hybrid" in front of Lu Mingfei. The system is confident that it can beat this centenarian to retirement.

At such an advanced age, he's still fighting on the front lines of dragon slaying. It just goes to show how incompetent the younger generation is, failing to allow this legendary old man to retire in peace.

But things are different now. A new legend has emerged, and Lu Mingfei is fully capable of taking over the throne of the world's number one fighter, allowing this old legend to retire in peace.

"what happened?"

Xia Mi, still half-asleep and wearing pajamas, opened the door and asked.

"I've arranged a meeting with Angers. You'll come along as my assistant."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's sleepiness vanished instantly, and she regained her focus: "Hmm? Now?"

"Yes, let's change our clothes."

"it is good!"

The door slammed shut. Xia Mi didn't have the habit of procrastinating like most girls; she finished tidying up and came out a few minutes later.

She also wore a slightly formal blazer and skirt, but due to her temperament and appearance, she didn't look like a professional woman. Plus, with a notebook tucked into her chest, she didn't look like an assistant; she looked more like a middle school girl in a high school uniform...

However, the system didn't pay much attention. It also put on a suit, looking a bit like DK, and stood next to Xia Mi, which was a good match.

The car set off at night, heading straight for the restaurant Angers had mentioned.

……

An elderly man with white hair sat in a private room at the restaurant. Dishes were served one by one, but he remained silent, thinking as he waited for the guests to arrive.

He knew there was a problem in Japan. The White King bloodline secret party of the Snake-Headed Eight Families had known about it for a long time, but they didn't know the secret behind the White King bloodline. Forcibly questioning them might not really get them the answer. So he established a branch of Kassel College in Japan, and also gave the Snake-Headed Eight Families a great deal of autonomy, hoping to win their hearts.

Unfortunately, half a century has passed, and the Snake-Headed Eight Families have remained silent, steadfastly guarding the secret of the White King's bloodline. Previously, considering the Snake-Headed Eight Families' ability to manage the Japanese dragon blood incident, Kassel College had turned a blind eye. Kassel College, as a world-class dragon-slaying organization, was mostly preoccupied with searching for dragons and handling dragon blood incidents, and wasn't particularly concerned with other matters, thus allowing the Snake-Headed Eight Families to remain inactive.

But this time during his trip to Japan, he finally uncovered the secrets of the Snake-Headed Eight Families... but it might only be part of it, because what they revealed this time was reluctant and not necessarily the whole story.

The door to the private room was opened after a few light knocks, interrupting Angers' thoughts.

A young man and woman, brimming with youthful energy, stood at the door and saw the white-haired old man with his hands clasped together on the table.

At this moment, the old man with glasses and meticulously combed white hair did not have a kind expression. Because of the matter in Japan, his expression was somewhat gloomy and solemn.
