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

“When I was surfing the internet at an internet cafe, someone sent me photos of the three of you working in the sex industry, and also gave me this address,” Fingel said.

"What's that ID called?" Chu Zihang asked with a serious expression.

“Ruri Kazama, what a girly name,” Fingel said, rubbing his stomach.

"It's not a good habit to talk about someone's stage name behind their back." A waiter suddenly came out from the kitchen and brought over the last bowl of ramen, along with shrimp tempura and miso soup.

Then he took out a glass, picked up the whiskey bottle, and mixed a glass of 'water-cut whiskey', which is spirits mixed with water to make the taste smoother and less harsh on the stomach.

After mixing the cocktail for Fingel, he sat down next to Caesar and fiddled with the long bar spoon.

When Lu Mingfei saw the man's face, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up. Under the dim lights of the bar, he looked at him at first glance as Yuan Zhisheng, the patriarch of the underworld!

"Calm down, the one who's a bit effeminate is the younger brother, the handsome one is the giant tortoise." Gu Ran pressed down on Lu Mingfei's shoulder, "Speaking of which, this is the first time you've met."

"Would you like me to introduce you, or would you like to introduce yourself?" Caesar, as the host, immediately took control of the situation.

"Kazama Ruri, real name Genjiro, is the Dragon King and number two of the Oni Clan, and the younger brother of Genjiro, the head of the Snake Clan." Kazama Ruri said slowly, "Everyone can call me Genjiro. When I was a male escort, I was Genjiro."

The atmosphere at the table was somewhat cold. Caesar and Chu Zihang both stared warily at Kazama Ruri, because they had not yet established trust with her, and the long bar spoon in her hand could easily become a deadly weapon.

"Stop fooling around." As the long spoon was spinning on Kazama Ruri's wrist, Gu Ran snatched it away with lightning speed. No one present could even see how he made the move.

In their view, Gu Ran's speed was already very close to the principal's zero time.

Fortunately, he was on the side of the Secret Party, which gave Caesar and Chu Zihang more confidence.

Kazama Ruri frowned in surprise, not expecting anyone to be so fast as to snatch things from his hands.

He wasn't afraid; on the contrary, he was somewhat pleased because it proved that his next move would be aided by a powerful ally.

"Come on, senior, keep eating your noodles. Don't be scared. We're very friendly." Gu Ran took some soy sauce and fried garlic from the bar and pushed them in front of the bewildered Fingel.

Fingel glanced at everyone's expressions, then carefully added fried garlic and soy sauce to the ramen. As the aroma spread with the steaming ramen broth, he couldn't resist any longer and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

In Japan, ramen is meant to be slurped up loudly, making a sound as the ramen chef does so. This gives the chef a sense of pride, making them believe their ramen must be incredibly delicious for the customer to eat so loudly.

After Gu Ran and Fingel's interruption, the tense atmosphere surrounding Kazama Ruri began to ease.

The main reason was that Gu Ran took the weapon from his hand.

"Actually, I noticed you infiltrated Takamagahara two days ago." Gu Ran took out a can of cola from the refrigerator and shared it with everyone. "You were able to find Fingel, so the Oni Clan must have already realized that the Principal had sent people to infiltrate Japan, right?"

Chu Zihang and Caesar were startled, not expecting that Kazama Ruri had been right under their noses for almost three days without their noticing.

Kazama Ruri was also surprised. He felt he had hidden it well enough and didn't know how Gu Ran had found out.

He then remembered his brain examination. For the past two days, he had been hiding and had not met with Wang Jiang. He then went to a hospital and used hypnosis to control the doctor to perform a brain examination on him.

Just as Gu Ran said, there was something wrong with his brain, but he had no memory of that, and he didn't know when his brain had been tampered with.

But Gu Ran seemed to know.

Kazama Ruri couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He had originally wanted to take the initiative in this cooperation and negotiation, but he didn't expect that Gu Ran would take the initiative instead.

“The Demon Clan did indeed detect the principal’s infiltration activities, but we cannot determine exactly how many people Principal Angers sent,” Kazama Ruri said. “Clearly, your school’s principal has also been preparing to take action against the Snake-Headed Eight Families. He has realized that there are some unstable factors within the Snake-Headed Eight Families.”

"Tachibana Masamune?" Caesar asked.

Kazama Ruri placed her phone on the bar counter and then started playing a recording.

This recording is a conversation between Tachibana Masamune and the King. Of course, these two people are actually the same person, so this is clearly a self-directed and self-acted phone call scene.

The gist of it is that the king and Tachibana Masamune reminisce about their past in Black Swan Harbor, though the stories are partly true and partly fictional. The king then wants to meet with Tachibana Masamune in the hope of dividing up the legacy left by the awakened god.

Then, surprisingly, Tachibana Masamune agreed.

Everyone present broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, except for Gu Ran, who let out another soda burp and then went to get a bag of sea salt flavored potato chips to eat.

Fingel, on the other hand, was covered in sweat, all from eating ramen. However, he was already smelly, and after sweating, he smelled even worse.

Kazama Ruri stated that this was the result of his wiretapping of the King's phone call.

But Caesar was puzzled. Shouldn't Tachibana Masamune and the King have agreed to a duel? Why were they sitting down together to discuss the White King's legacy?

Chu Zihang asked Kazama Ruri about Herzog.

Kazama Ruri says he is a genetic scientist who originally belonged to the German Academy of Sciences. He was captured by the Soviet army and sent to Black Swan Port. He came to Japan when the Soviet Union collapsed and was the second survivor of Black Swan Port.

“Bondarev took the research data and transformed into Tachibana Masamune, while Herzog transformed into the King General, and they have been using the knowledge in their minds to create evolution drugs,” Kazama Ruri concluded.

“He’s been corrupted by ancient dragon blood; he seems unkillable,” Caesar said, frowning. “Even the Emperor might not be a match for him.”

“I once shot a whole magazine of blunt metal armor-piercing rounds into his body.” Lu Mingfei recalled the scene with lingering fear. “He was like the Terminator, impossible to kill, and even after Gu Ran cut off his head, he could still revive.”

"So, you're the same way?" Kazama Ruri stared blankly at Gu Ran. "After you cut off his head, he could still come back to life. Is he really unkillable?"

Gu Ran didn't say much, only that "I sensed that the king was acting strangely, but I'm not sure yet, so I need to fight him again."

"What did you notice?" Chu Zihang asked.

Gu Ran glanced at Kazama Ruri: "I can't say yet."

Kazama Ruri understood that this meant Gu Ran didn't fully trust him yet, but he didn't mind. He was just curious that Gu Ran actually had the strength to directly behead a king.

Caesar then said, "Logically speaking, Tachibana Masamune should have no chance of defeating the King. Why did he agree to meet?"

“But Tachibana Masamune agreed. The king sent him the location via text message, and he replied to the king saying he would meet him there,” Kazama Ruri said.

"In the dialogue, the king said that they each hold the key to divine awakening." Chu Zihang realized the crux of the problem and asked Kazama Ruri, "What is the key?"

“I don’t know either,” Kazama Ruri said, “but perhaps if we listen to their conversation when they meet, we’ll find out everything.”

Next, Kazama Ruri mentioned the location where the King and Tachibana Masamune met—the place of no heaven and no earth, which is Tokyo Tower.

Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree are two towers. Tokyo Tower is the old radio tower, built in 1958. It is 332 meters tall and has an observation deck at a height of 250 meters.

Tokyo Tower was once the preferred suicide spot for heartbroken men and women in Tokyo. Conan was once strafed by an armed helicopter driven by Gin of the Black Organization on this tower.

It is called a place without heaven or earth because the central platform of this tower can only be reached by one sightseeing elevator. As long as the elevator is sealed off, no one can enter and therefore no one can eavesdrop on their conversation.

Wang Jiang was the kind of person who liked to stand on high places and look down on the city. Tokyo Tower used to be the highest point in Tokyo, and he had taken Kazama Ruri to that special observation deck.

Chu Zihang asked, "You're cooperating with us, not just because you want us to eavesdrop, right?"

“I have only ever had one goal: to kill the king.” Kazama Ruri’s eyes shone brightly. “I don’t care who resurrects the god, nor do I care about the consequences of the god’s resurrection. I only want to kill.”

Gu Ran looked at Kazama Ruri's expression. He was overjoyed when he said he was going to kill someone, like an innocent child.

Chu Zihang and Caesar exchanged a glance, thinking that while they were usually quite crazy at school, compared to Kazama Ruri, they seemed like normal people.

"The academy will not help you kill unless you can prove that the king's actions have crossed our academy's bottom line," Caesar, as the group leader, stated.

"The King... is only one step away from resurrecting the God." Kazama Ruri stared at Caesar and asked, "If I can prove this, and hear their incriminating evidence during the eavesdropping, what will you, as representatives of the academy, do?"

Caesar said earnestly, "You need not doubt the determination of our Secret Party. Although the history of the Academy is only a little over a hundred years, the history of the Secret Party is over two thousand years. Any Dragon King who wants to awaken, or anyone who wants to awaken the Dragon King, will be cut down by the sharpest blade of our Secret Party."

“Very good.” Kazama Ruri unfolded an architectural blueprint and began to explain her plan.

He said the objective of this operation was to eavesdrop on the conversation between Tachibana Masamune and the King, and then intercept and kill the King.

In Kazama Ruri's view, the king's choice of a place devoid of heaven and earth was, in effect, a choice of death.

His plan was simple: first and foremost, he needed to eavesdrop, which required Fingel. He had already found out that Fingel was the academy's best eavesdropping expert, which was why he led him to the host club.

Caesar, as the group leader, glanced at Fingel, who was eating his second plate of shrimp tempura.

"Don't you have any wiretapping experts?" Caesar asked.

Kazama Ruri felt that sending the Oni Clan to kill the King was not an option, as they were likely to be betrayed, and he didn't trust them. Therefore, he decided to use the people from the Academy instead.

“I thought you thought I had the potential to be a male escort and wanted to bring me into the business,” Fingel said to Kazama Ruri, licking the grease off his lips. “Turns out you just wanted to take advantage of my skills.”

“You are indeed a good candidate to become a gigolo…” Kazama Ruri was stunned by Fingel’s words, “but now we need you to become an eavesdropping expert.”

"So even your praise of me was insincere..." Fingel said dejectedly. "I thought I could really make a name for myself in the male escort industry, hook up with a rich woman, and live a life of being kept without worrying about food or drink..."

"I...I'm so sorry..." Kazama Ruri didn't know what else to say besides apologizing.

“Don’t talk to Fingel about this kind of thing. He’ll reduce your IQ to that of an idiot, and then he’ll beat you with his years of experience as an idiot!” Caesar interrupted their conversation.

He said directly to Fingel, "I'm the group leader. If you join this group, you have to listen to me. So tell me quickly, how can we avoid full-band radio wave scanning?"

Since both the King and Tachibana Masamune were trained by the KGB, they would definitely always carry full-band radio wave scanning equipment, so ordinary eavesdropping methods would be useless.

“There are many methods, such as using lasers to eavesdrop,” Fingel said earnestly, outlining a possible solution.

The principle of laser eavesdropping is that when sound waves vibrate, they will cause vibrations on the glass. This vibration will cause a phenomenon called polarization displacement in the laser. By monitoring that displacement, the conversation can be reconstructed. However, the effective distance of this device is only 100 meters. The laser emitter must be within 100 meters, and someone needs to adjust it in real time so that the laser beam hits the glass at a near-vertical angle.

However, the observation tower is 250 meters high, making it impossible to listen in from the ground.

The only way is from the sky.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei came up with an idea. He remembered that when he drove Erii out for a while, an airship followed them for a while, so he asked if they could eavesdrop from the airship.

Everyone thought the plan was feasible, and the weather forecast said it would rain tomorrow, which would make them more concealed.

As for the listening device, which needs to be adjusted in real time, let Finger, who is technically skilled, go up there; his weight is also suitable.

With the eavesdropping task resolved, the next issue was how to kill the King. Kazama Ruri instructed Caesar and Chu Zihang to guard the elevator exit and the iron ladder, while he personally went to kill the King.

“We need another person to control the area around Tokyo Tower,” Kazama Ruri said, looking at Lu Mingfei. “He should be skilled with sniper rifles and have the ability to kill targets at long range.”

"Me?" Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand, saying that he couldn't do it, that he was easily nervous and not up to the task.

Caesar shrugged. Although Lu Mingfei had a talent for shooting, his mental fortitude was really not that great, so it didn't seem like a good idea to let him control the situation.

"How about we send Gu Ran?" Caesar suggested.

“Gu Jun is the last line of defense for our plan. If we all fail, then he will be the one to clean up the mess.” Kazama Ruri extended her hand to Gu Ran, who had been silent all along. “In my opinion, Gu Jun is the calmest person here.”

Gu Ran, who had been looking down in thought, looked up, smiled, and said, "Have you heard of Jiang Gan stealing the book?"

Chapter 467 The Stage of Tokyo Tower

The story of Jiang Gan stealing the book is from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is said that during the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao deployed a million troops on the sunny bank of Red Cliffs, facing the navy of Zhou Yu across the river.

One day, Grand Commander Zhou Yu wanted to investigate Cao Cao's naval camp, so he had a pleasure boat made and went there in person. When he arrived at Cao Cao's naval camp, he found that Cao Cao's navy was quite organized and its deployment was very reasonable.

So he asked his men and women, "Who is in charge of Cao Cao's navy?"

The two people who answered were Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
