Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 106

Kassel College has ignored its Japanese branch for so many years, yet it suddenly visits at this time, clearly indicating that it knows more than he imagined... Genji sighed inwardly.

……

After learning that Erii had cooked the meal herself, Xia Mi quickly finished the food that Erii had saved for her.

Although the taste wasn't great, it was made with sincerity... She asked, "Is there any more? I thought it was quite delicious."

Erii shook her head gently, "That's all. This is the only one left. It was originally meant for Lu Mingfei."

"Hiss~" Xia Mi gasped when she heard her words, and then said to her, "Don't say things that are detrimental to unity in the future, understand?"

That's so hurtful. I thought we were best friends for life, but it turns out I was just the third party who came between us... Ugh, I got too caught up in the drama.

Xia Mi's mind cleared up a bit after thinking about this.

Erii looked puzzled, not quite understanding what she was saying.

"It's just..." Xia Mi told her about the saying that it's not scarcity that's a concern, but inequality.

"But I originally..." Erii stopped mid-sentence, otherwise she would say something that would affect unity.

"Sigh~" Xia Mi shook her head, feeling that this child... should be able to get along well with her brother Erifen.

As Yuan Zhisheng and the other two came down from their room upstairs, she casually asked, "Have you finished discussing it?"

"No, it's just something else."

Yuan Zhisheng was quite polite to the people Lu Mingfei brought with him, and did not look down on Xia Mi just because she was a child.

"What's wrong?" Xia Mi asked casually.

"The principal of Kassel College, Angers, is coming to Japan, and Genjiro needs to go back to welcome him," the system explained for her.

"Angers? You mean the world's number one hybrid?" Xia Mi's eyes widened as she stood up from the dining table and leaned over to ask, "He's a legend! Can I go with him and see him?"

Yuan Zhisheng felt that this girl was a bit... outgoing, and he didn't know whether he should refuse her.

After all, Angers, the five-star retired emperor of the Snake-Headed Eighth Family, is coming to Japan. He must be received with the high standards of the Snake-Headed Eighth Family. What kind of thing would it be to bring someone who is not from the Snake-Headed Eighth Family?

Angers isn't a monkey in a zoo...

Upon hearing Xia Mi say that Angers was the world's number one hybrid, Uesugi Yue felt inexplicably unconvinced and retorted unhappily, "His claim of being the world's number one hybrid is nothing special. He's good at civil wars, but he wins entirely by using his time-zero trickery, like a stubborn plaster..."

"Master Uesugi, how do you know he's an expert in civil war? Have you fought him? Did you win?" Xia Mi asked.

Uesugi Kotsushi's face stiffened. He caught Erii's gaze out of the corner of his eye and said sheepishly, "I made a mistake. I was too young and careless back then, lacking combat experience. I didn't dodge..."

"oh oh."

Xia Mi didn't press the matter further; it was obvious that Angers had taught her a lesson...

She remained silent, but Uesugi Kotsushi felt somewhat embarrassed in front of the two children, and couldn't help but regret not bringing it up...

No, that's not right. That old man Angers might bring it up when he sees me, so I'm giving them a heads-up beforehand...

Uesugi Yue, trying to comfort himself, secretly glanced at Genjiro and Erii's expressions and, finding that they didn't seem to care much, immediately shifted his attention to Lu Mingfei: "Do you have any clues about the background of that Dragon King Kazama Ruri from the Oni Clan? Do you have any photos to show me? There aren't many royal bloodlines left in this world..."

The person who had contact with the system was Ryoma, the third-in-command of the Oni Clan. He didn't tell Genjiro and Uesugi Kotsugu that he had seen Kazama Ruri, so the two of them assumed that he hadn't seen her face or anything like that.

However, upon hearing this name, Xia Mi glanced at the system before speaking. The system also glanced at her, and so she tacitly remained silent.

"The Ghost Clan protects Kazama Ruri's private information very well. He is a well-known host in Japan, but no photos of him have been circulated online."

"Royal bloodline goes to become a gigolo?" Uesugi Etsu couldn't hold back when he heard this.

He was quite interested in that Kazama Ruri, but he couldn't do anything about the system not revealing too much information, since he couldn't see her or get her photos.

Genjiro went back to prepare for a meeting to discuss receiving Angers, taking with him the head of the Uesugi family, Uesugi Erii. Since the two of them were leaving, the system should also leave with Natsumi, leaving only the empty-nest old man, Uesugi Etsu, in the house.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Yue followed Genjiro and Erii.

Although he and that old codger Angers didn't get along, the other party was indeed one of the few old acquaintances he knew.

Angers has lived for over 130 years and is still active on the world stage, while also teaching at the Kassel College... Uesugi Kotsuki suddenly thought of his own health problems and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

He used to think that death was just death, nothing serious, just birth, aging, sickness, and death; he had long since come to terms with it. But when he learned he had a child, he suddenly wanted to live a little longer…

No, I need to go and ask Angers how to survive as long as that tortoise.

"Boss Lu, Angers? The world's number one hybrid, over 130 years old, should we go and meet him?" Xia Mi was very curious about Angers and kept asking Lu Mingfei this question on the way back.

“We don’t know him well, and we didn’t come to Japan to broaden our horizons.”

The system wasn't nearly as curious about Angers, the world's number one hybrid. It said, "The question we need to consider now is whether Angers came to Japan with the influence of Kassel College and was trying to gain a foothold there."

Given the current situation in Japan, Kassel College would definitely rush over if they knew anything about it.

Xia Mi pondered the question for a moment and said, "But it's not that easy for information to leak out. If things in Japan were so easy to leak out, Kassel College wouldn't have waited until now to take action, right? With Kassel College's influence and strength, they could have rushed in as soon as they had any news, without having to wait until now."

“Yes, given the strength of Kassel College, they wouldn’t have needed to wait until now to come. But the Snake Clan only just learned about the White King’s remains.”

"Oh, there's a traitor within the Snake Clan?"

"The Snake Clan has always been under the administration of Kassel College. Every year, quite a few of them go to Kassel College for further studies, and it's normal for some of them to have climbed to the middle or upper levels..."

The issues the two discussed were also the ones that Genji was currently concerned about.

Because the Snake Clan really does have a high-ranking "mole."

Inuyama He was able to reach the position of head of the Japanese branch entirely due to the support of Kassel College. His subordinates have frequently spoken ill of him, calling him a lackey of Kassel College, and considering the potential profits, he's the most likely person to have done this…

Uesugi Koshi put aside his obsession with Angers and also helped Genjiro think about this issue: "Aga is still Angers' student, and the two have an extraordinary relationship..."

It's the same character who directly locks onto Inuyama He, and the more you look at them, the more similar they seem. Otherwise, why would Angers suddenly come at this crucial moment? It's obvious that there's a high-level mole who knows the news and leaked the information about the White King's remains.

Hearing his muttering, Genji felt his head spin even more.

There are already so many problems. The previous head of the family, Tachibana Masamune, seemed to have issues. We haven't even questioned the Deadpool Lab under Genji Heavy Industries yet, and now the second-in-command of the Snake Clan is in trouble... Why is the family like a sieve? The one with problems is either the top leader or the second-in-command.

The fact that the Snake Clan has come this far is a testament to the blessings of heaven.

"Angers only brought two people with him to Japan this time? Are you sure he didn't just move the Kassel College here?" Uesugi asked.

"The information we have so far is that only the three of them came, and it is uncertain whether more people will come later."

"So Angers must have just come to confirm the news, right? By the way, you're also studying at Kassel College. Has Kassel College produced any outstanding talents in recent years?"

“I think so…” Genjiro recalled a disheveled figure.

When he first entered Kassel College, the other person's genius had not yet collapsed and still had a glimmer of light. But by the time he graduated, the other person had become just another ordinary person.

The fall of a genius, the end of a hero's life, and the graying hair of a beauty are still things that are very regrettable.

"Really?"

Uesugi Eiichiro was quite unusual. Even without activating his full royal bloodline, Genjiro was a hybrid genius standing at the pinnacle. A genius who could gain Genjiro's recognition, if not just being modest, would most likely have some real skills...

"Hmm." Genji nodded gently, but did not mention the other person's situation.

Angers was suddenly coming to Japan as a guest, and the rest of the family heads rushed over for a meeting.

The first suspicion was still that there was a mole within the family. He would glance at Inuyama He from time to time, then look at the current patriarch, Genjiro.

However, when Yuan Zhisheng looked at Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Tachibana family, everyone assumed that he was asking Tachibana Masamune for advice on how to deal with the situation at hand.

Tachibana Masamune, who had been sitting upright with his breath held and no expression, finally spoke up when he noticed that Genji was staring at him: "Patriarch, what should we do about this?"

Is he really going to realize his ambitions within the Snake Clan? Genji is unsure.

He withdrew his gaze and said, "We certainly need to receive Principal Angers as he comes to Japan, but who will greet him and welcome him is a problem."

According to Angers's relationship with the Snake Clan, Inuyama He was the first among his disciples. However, Inuyama He himself could only smile wryly at the subtle glances from the other clan heads.

He suggested, "The Uesugi family head and Principal Angers are old friends, so let the Uesugi family head go and pick them up..."

“He won’t be happy about it,” Genji said.

Judging from Uesugi Kotsugi's tone, it was clear that he had a grudge against Angers, so it was inappropriate to send Uesugi Kotsugi to pick up the person.

“The Inuyama family head is not suitable, the Uesugi family head is unwilling, and the rest of our family heads are not familiar with Mr. Angers…” Tachibana Masamune looked at Genjiro.

After a process of elimination, only Genjiro and Angers, who had studied at the Kassel College, remained. However, it would be a bit too much of a courtesy for the head of the family to pick them up at the airport.

Kassel College may be powerful, but I am not necessarily at a disadvantage even with the swords of the Snake Clan!

However, Genjiro didn't care about saving face. After hearing this, he stood up and said, "I'll go pick up Principal Angers. It's been less than a year since we parted ways, so we should have a lot to talk about."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, patriarch."

……

"Principal, some industries in Japan are quite famous. I wonder if you know anyone there and have any recommendations?"

Hearing this on the plane, Angers glanced at the student with a lewd look on his face and said indifferently, "That costs money. How much money do you have to play? If you don't pay and get detained by the police, don't say you're from our Kassel College."

"Ahem, Principal, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant." The student's lewd expression subsided slightly, and he turned to ask another student on the plane, "Caesar, does your Gattuso family have any businesses in Japan? Let me ride in your coattails for a bit."

"Although I could easily help you realize your idea, unfortunately, I can't." The student called Caesar shrugged.

Chapter 139 It turns out to be the appearance of an old friend.

A luxury private jet landed smoothly at Narita International Airport in Japan.

After disembarking, Caesar asked, "Principal, what mission are we here in Japan for?"

"Huh? Caesar, you don't know about the mission?" Fingel asked in surprise.

"Is it not a top-secret mission? We won't know the mission details until the plane lands?"

"I don't know, the principal said the expenses would be reimbursed so I came." Fingel shrugged.

Caesar: "..."

Angers didn't rush to answer Caesar's question, but instead checked the messages on his phone.

It was a message from Genjiro, a former student and now the head of the Hebi-Hachi family, who sent the message to pick him up at the airport.

Angers put his phone back in his pocket, turned to the two men, and said, "There's no major mission on this trip to Japan."

"Ok?"

"what?"

Angers smiled, put his hands on his hips, turned around to look at the Japanese, leaving the two with his back: "Because it's all missions, there are too many important things, and it's impossible to distinguish between primary and secondary matters. When you go to the Snake Clan, remember to raise your aura. These Japanese people fear power but not morality."

Their subsequent attitude towards us will determine how busy we are in Japan and whether we will need to bring in a large force to handle the situation.
