Chapter 75 What the Celestial Venerable Can't Do! I Will Do It?
Everyone present remained silent. Apart from the head of the Uesugi family, all eyes were fixed on Mr. Masamune's face.
"Alright." Seeing that no one spoke, Mr. Masamune stood up without hesitation and said loudly:
"Since no one wants to talk about it, then I will."
After he finished speaking, the wooden hall became even quieter than before.
Many of the followers kneeling outside the hall even slowed their breathing.
"I have been the head of the family for nearly ten years."
The family business has been under my control for the past ten years; it hasn't been a glorious period, but it hasn't been a failure either.
"It has been an honor for me to work with everyone during this period."
Apart from the head of the Uesugi family, the other six family heads listened quietly. For a moment, the relationship between the two sides was like that of students quietly listening to their teacher's teachings in a classroom.
"but."
Tachibana Masamune, the current head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the head of the Upper Three Families, paused in his speech.
He, who was originally just an ordinary old man from Japan, suddenly became fierce, as if a sleeping tiger had opened its eyes.
"Over the years, we have also lost many companions. The family is growing, just like a tree with many branches and leaves growing new foliage. But at the same time, the shadow under the tree is also growing."
Many of the followers who were close to the temple outside the hall had already subconsciously held their breath.
Because they realized that what the patriarch was about to say might change the current landscape of the Japanese mixed-race world.
The Academy's Neon Division Executive Bureau has never reported a single incident involving dragons or Deadpool.
But this does not mean that Japan is a peaceful and prosperous place with favorable weather.
On the contrary, appearing alongside the elite high-blooded hybrids were their companions who had fallen into demonic ways and were extremely dangerous.
Every year, friends, relatives, and even themselves around them would weep and grieve because their child had been chosen as a ghost.
Now, these demons have gathered together, licking their fangs and claws in the shadows, eager to harm the clan.
"We call those cursed children ghosts, and now these ghosts that we have tried to forget have gathered together in the dark."
They call themselves the Fierce Ghosts, and they are secretly eroding the family's power.
"Just a few days ago, Chisei's enforcement bureau uncovered a hideout where many of the children had just escaped from their families' surveillance."
When his name was mentioned, Genji blinked, seemingly surprised that even such a small matter was known to Mr. Masamune.
"The demons lure them with evolutionary drugs, tempting them to willingly abandon themselves and fall into darkness."
Mr. Masamune continued speaking eloquently:
"Now that the new principal of the academy has arrived, we must completely resolve the matter of the Ghost Clan. Otherwise, if this matter is exposed and reaches the ears of the Secret Society, our family will not be able to withstand another blow."
"But that new principal is just a child," said the head of the Fuma family.
"Even if he's a child, he's one that Angers has chosen, an S-rank in the academy," Masamune Tachibana said. "How could someone chosen by Hilbert Jean Angers be anything less than exceptional?"
The entire room fell silent. The family heads looked at each other, exchanging silent glances.
"Shall we go to war?"
Seeing that someone had broken the silence, Tachibana Masamune glanced at the Inuyama family head who had just spoken and nodded:
"That's right."
The sound reached outside the hall, and the kneeling gang members raised their heads in shock, looking at each other in disbelief.
After all, eradicating the shadow of a family is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires swift and decisive action.
But they didn't speak, and they had no right to speak here.
The family is a strictly regulated group, and even the head of the family is divided into three upper families and five lower families.
They were well aware that the Minamoto and Uesugi families were Masamune's strongholds, so although they were soliciting opinions, it was really just announcing a decision.
As expected, the other family heads seated in the hall agreed without much consideration.
The gang members outside the wooden hall did the same, throwing out white chess pieces to indicate their agreement, which quickly piled up into a small mountain.
However, unexpectedly, inside the wooden hall, neither the head of the Minamoto family nor the head of the Uesugi family among the three upper families made a decision.
The gang members automatically ignored the Uesugi family head, who was secretly playing games on her PSP. After all, she always followed the Minamoto family head in every decision; the two were practically inseparable.
As for the head of the Yuan family, it is Yuan Zhisheng.
His phone rang at that exact moment.
This not only interrupted his thoughts, but also made him nod and apologize to the families around him.
Yuan Zhisheng initially wanted to reject the call, but when he looked down at the name displayed on the screen, he frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, Chisei?" Tachibana Masamune asked, looking at him.
"Yes..." Genji finally said the name of the caller, "Lu Mingfei."
Upon hearing this, the gang members outside the hall might not understand what the name represented, but the patriarchs inside the wooden hall all had their pupils shrink.
They had already seen his internal files: a newly enrolled S-class student, who even became the interim principal under mysterious circumstances after Angers fell into a coma.
Even though his age might make people underestimate him, the strange and unusual things that happen to him force them to take him seriously.
And now, at this crucial juncture, the other party has unexpectedly called.
Does this mean the academy already knows what they're doing? Is there a traitor within the family?!
Although everyone present was a member of the family’s leadership and core group, it seemed that each of them had a motive to leak the contents of today’s meeting.
While the heads of the families were preoccupied with their own thoughts, Yuan Zhisheng had already gotten up and left in a hurry.
A short while later, he returned with a strange expression on his face.
The brevity of the phone call sent a chill down the spines of all the family heads.
"What did Principal Lu say?" Tachibana Masamune asked in a deep voice.
Now that things had come to this, he couldn't just let the phone call go, since the relationship between the family and the academy, no matter what, couldn't be broken off so easily.
"He said...we should..." Genji's throat bobbed, clearly shocked by the phone call, "shut down all of the family's sex-related businesses throughout Japan."
A deathly silence fell over the wooden hall and its surroundings for a moment. After a long while, Tachibana Masamune finally asked, frowning:
"He really said that!?"
"That's right, I'm going to shut down all the sex businesses in the branch." Inside the hotel, Lu Mingfei put down the phone under Lao Tang's astonished gaze.
What a certain celestial being couldn't do, I will do!
