Among the three siblings, only Genjiro, bound by the so-called "greater good," foolishly believed his adoptive father instead of his own intuition.
He smiled and said to Ryoma Genichiro, "Who would have thought that the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the leader of the Demon Clan would be the same person?"
He looked at Ryoma Genichiro, whose gaze seemed to waver, and reminded him, "Head of the Ryoma family, you have no way out now. Tachibana Masamune will never tolerate you."
Ryoma Genichiro then came to his senses, shook his head, and said self-deprecatingly, "Mr. Wang, you're overthinking it. No matter how talented and ambitious Tachibana Masamune is, I can see from his eyes that he doesn't have any regard for Japan."
He's not the one who can lead us back to our feet.
Wang Anzhi remained silent, and thankfully, neither did I.
He listened as Ryoma Genichiro's voice grew increasingly firm:
“He is an outsider who came here with greed for our bloodline. I will not allow him to ruin our country like this.”
Having firmly set his goal, Ryoma Genichiro earnestly inquired:
"So, Mr. Wang, who do you think is suitable to take the blame?"
Wang Anzhi pointed at Ryoma Genichiro without any hesitation and said, "If I remember correctly, Ryoma, you are the head of the Japanese branch of the Secret Party, right?"
Genichiro Ryoma thought for a moment, "That's right, but we can't just push this onto the Secret Party, can we?"
"Why not?" Wang Anzhi countered.
Genichiro Ryoma was also taken aback for a moment, but he quickly laughed:
"Yes! Why not?"
Soon, the car entered an increasingly dark area with sparse streetlights and shadowy abandoned factory buildings on both sides, like silent giants lying prostrate in the darkness.
The air seemed to freeze.
Wang Anzhi stared intently ahead and said softly:
"We're almost there, aren't we?"
Ryoma Genichiro nodded without changing his expression.
At this moment, they were less than 300 meters away from the Genji Tower, the headquarters of the Snake Clan.
Chapter 216 Erii is mine
at this time!
"boom!"
A crisp gunshot shattered the silence, followed by the piercing sound of a bullet striking metal!
The rear of the car suddenly swung, but Ryoma Genichiro held the steering wheel firmly.
"Lie down!" Wang Anzhi quickly turned around and looked at the back seat, shouting to Erii in the back seat.
He knew that although Erii possessed royal blood, she was both strong and fragile, having been conceived through in vitro fertilization and undergone brain splitting surgery.
Despite possessing the power to destroy the entire city of Tokyo, he could even be startled by a single clap of thunder.
Erii was jolted to the side by the sudden tremor, but instead of fear, a blush of curiosity rose on her face.
She blinked, seemingly wondering what kind of novel game this was.
"Bang bang bang!" A series of gunshots rang out like popping beans, clearly targeting the vehicle's fuel tank.
Wang Anzhi thought to himself that the head of the Longma family was indeed a reliable person, as expected of someone with a military background.
"It's now!"
Ryoma Genichiro slammed on the gas pedal, and as the car accelerated, a fireball suddenly erupted from the rear!
The immense impact caused the vehicle to completely lose control, spinning and crashing into a pile of abandoned containers on the roadside with a deafening roar. The windshield was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the rear of the car, and thick smoke began to pour into the vehicle.
The entire car started to burn.
A normal person encountering such a "car accident," coupled with such circumstances, would basically be declared dead.
Fortunately, none of the three people in the car are ordinary mixed-race individuals.
Wang Anzhi, who has mastered Constantine's power; Erii, who possesses imperial blood; and the "ordinary" head of the Ryoma family...
Well, the head of the Longma family is indeed rather ordinary. Wang Anzhi remembers that his death in the original work was also quite hasty.
As he was pondering, he heard a loud shout.
"Get out of the car quickly!"
Ryoma Genichiro was the first to unbuckle his seatbelt and kick open the somewhat deformed car door.
Wang Anzhi moved just as quickly, even ahead of Ryoma Genichiro thanks to his bloodline advantage. He went around to the back seat, opened the car door, and tore open the steel shell with ease.
"Eri, come out quickly!"
Erii looked at the leaping flames outside the car, her eyes sparkling.
She obediently reached out her hand, letting Wang Anzhi pull her out of the carriage. Her steps were light as she walked on the gravel-strewn ground. She even glanced back at the burning car, scribbling something in her notebook:
[Fun, like a movie.]
Wang Anzhi smiled as he looked at Erii's happy expression. He patted Erii's head and looked at her face, which was flushed red in the firelight. He felt a faint flutter in his heart.
So he whispered in her ear:
"Let's treat this as a movie!"
Erii nodded vigorously, looking very happy. She could feel Wang Anzhi's "goodwill" towards her.
Ryoma Genichiro, observing from the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming that the gunmen he had arranged had left.
Kaguya, an AI currently under the control of Japan, has never actually demonstrated its full functionality due to surveillance by Norma, the AI at the Kassel College headquarters.
So much so that even internally, there is a deliberate attempt to censor.
Although Tachibana Masamune was a scoundrel, he knew he would eventually fall out with the Secret Party, so he had to create a "window of opportunity" for himself.
During this lull, he finally has time to execute his plans.
That's why he wouldn't allow Princess Kaguya to operate at full capacity until the plan reached its final stage.
In addition, Ryoma Genichiro's authority as an "insider" also concealed the actions of the group.
Unlike the nominally powerful Tachibana Masamune, Ryoma Genichiro, as a local bigwig, even if he tacitly acknowledged the imperial bloodline of Genjiro, the young head of the family, he could not allow Tachibana Masamune to hold power over the Snake-Headed Eight Families alone.
Are you kidding me? The three inner families have all died out long ago.
If even a true emperor like Uesugi Kotsugu couldn't do it, then Tachibana Masamune, a pseudo-emperor who became the patriarch by virtue of Genjiro's imperial blood, was even less capable of it.
In the firelight, Ryoma Genichiro pulled a gun from his robes and looked at Wang Anzhi, saying softly:
“We have three minutes left. Now, you can tell me why we’re doing this.”
He pointed the gun at his chest with one hand, smiled, and said, "Give me a reason, and I think this scene could be made more realistic."
Ryoma Genichiro pointed at Uesugi Erii with his other finger and said softly:
"To be honest, the head of the Uesugi family is indeed a beauty, and her strength is indeed outstanding, but I don't think that's the reason why you covet her, nor is it the reason why you fear her."
Upon their first meeting, Ryoma Genichiro couldn't understand why Wang Anzhi, the legitimate envoy, made the first request upon meeting him: to free Uesugi Erii from the control of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
Ideally, it should be in his hands.
He believed it was definitely not about physical beauty; there must be a deeper reason.
As Uesugi Erii listened to the two talking, she kept shaking her head, poking her chin with one finger, but she still couldn't figure it out.
However, she understood at least one thing: the head of the Ryoma family, whom she originally thought was taking her home, had actually given her a period of freedom.
She could hardly believe the surprise.
She was so excited that she tugged at Wang Anzhi's sleeve, signaling him to quickly take her away.
She was afraid her brother would come if she didn't hurry.
Amidst the thick smoke, Wang Anzhi took the gun from Ryoma Genichiro's hand. The head of the Ryoma family did not resist. He knew that if he were to be persuaded, it would be more convincing if Wang Anzhi fired the gun.
Wang Anzhi, seeing Erii's growing impatience, adjusted the angle of his gun and said softly:
"The ancient road to the Yellow Springs, the White Emperor is about to return from hell. There are countless gates on this road, and Erii, no, the head of the Uesugi family, she herself is the key to open one of those gates."
Ryoma Genichiro's pupils contracted, as if he understood something, but he said nothing, only saying, "Shoot!"
"Bang" sound.
The head of the Longma family collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely. Not far away was the door of the car he was driving.
Judging from the scene, it appears that the head of the Longma family was involved in a car accident, crawled out of the car, and was then shot down by the assailant.
Wang Anzhi took Erii's hand and said softly, "Let's go!"
Erii looked at the Ryoma family head lying on the ground, took out a notebook from her bosom, and wrote:
"Is he dead?"
Wang Anzhi saw the Japanese-American arrive, patted Erii's head, and then their figures disappeared into thick darkness.
"Do not."
Chapter 217 The Brother-in-Law Searches for His Sister
Yuan Zhisheng arrived very quickly.
The fire site was only 300 meters away from the Genji Building.
Before his arrival, the car was under tight control by the Sheqi family. The burning wreckage had been covered with fire extinguishing agent, but it was still emitting bluish-black smoke. A pungent smell mixed with the smell of burning filled the air. Glass and metal fragments were scattered on the ground, creating a scene of utter chaos.
Yuan Zhisheng stood beside the not-yet-completely-dried dark red bloodstain, his brows furrowed. He wore the Executive Bureau's black trench coat, the night wind ruffling the hem of his coat, his face appearing particularly stern in the flickering emergency lights.
He looked at a girl dressed in a black ninja outfit beside him and asked softly, "Sakura, how is the head of the Ryoma family now?"
Not far from the Genji Building, the headquarters of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, a group of bandits suddenly appeared and kidnapped one of the heads of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, severely injuring him.
If he hadn't actually witnessed such a thing, Genji would have thought it was just a rumor.
Sakura replied, "The head of the Ryoma family was very lucky. The bullet from the muzzle of the gun went right through his chest cavity. It was a specially made alchemical bullet, which has a special killing power against hybrids."
