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

Page 417

Lu Mingfei was so intimidated by the men's imposing manner that his legs went weak and he almost collapsed. Fortunately, Chu Zihang noticed in time and kicked him in the knee, making him stand up straight again.

They are now representing the school, so they cannot show weakness to the Snake Clan.

Su Enxi had a thin menthol cigarette dangling from her lips. Finger, being very perceptive, went over and lit it for her. The proprietress smiled and blew a puff of smoke in his face before walking into the rain and watching the retreating figures of the Snake Clan.

Gu Ran knew she wanted to observe whether the Snake Clan had really retreated. He was about to follow her out when he saw Ling leaning against the door. He then remembered that her knee was still injured, so he went over and picked her up.

“I can walk by myself,” Zero said.

"I don't think you can." Gu Ran carried her inside without further ado.

In the lobby on the first floor of Takamagahara, all the lights were turned on, and a chair was placed in the center, waiting for Su Enxi to return and sit down.

While they were setting things up, Gu Ran was checking Ling's knees.

"Your kneecap is fractured, with fragments. You need surgery to remove the bone fragments." Gu Ran quickly realized her problem, but he didn't have any surgical instruments on hand. So he took an ice bucket from the bar, wrapped it in a towel, and applied it to her knee to relieve the pain.

Zero seemed aware of her problem, but she maintained a calm expression, as if she wouldn't feel pain even if her leg was broken.

Last time in the Three Gorges, she also got a cut on her stomach, but she didn't cry out in pain. She's a very strong-willed girl.

Gu Ran rubbed her head and said, "I'll go get you a doctor."

Although he can use palm magic to heal, the broken bones still need to be surgically removed first.

"Not for now, let's wait a bit." Zero refused.

Gu Ran said, "Don't worry, we won't move you in a bit. Even if you have surgery, you won't be a burden to us. You're not a useless person."

Zero glanced at him, seemingly curious as to how he knew what she was thinking.

Gu Ran simply smiled slightly.

"Close the door, you boys! Don't open it for anyone tonight!" Su Enxi returned at this moment, with the humpback whale following behind her.

However, as soon as she entered, Caesar and Chu Zihang 'invited' her to the middle seat.

Gu Ran pulled the humpback whale away and whispered in his ear, "Go to the office and find the second boss lady. Tell her to find a reliable surgeon. I have someone here who needs surgery. Remember to bring a scalpel and anesthesia."

The humpback whale was slightly taken aback, not expecting that this young man knew about the second proprietress. He immediately nodded and quickly went upstairs.

Su Enxi was being interrogated by Caesar at this moment.

"your name?"

"Su Enxi."

"Who are you?"

"Chairman of the US-European Federation Education Promotion Fund."

"Find another one; if you're going to lie, at least make it believable!"

"Special Advisor to the East Asian Children's Living Conditions Research Center under the UN Commission on the Eradication of Poverty."

After asking around, Caesar discovered that Su Enxi had more than two hundred identities in various organizations around the world, and all of them were real and valid.

This drove him to the brink of collapse, so he had no choice but to abandon his investigation into her true identity and instead ask her why the Snake-Headed Eight Family listened to her.

Su Enxi said this because the Snake Clan owed her some money, about 20 billion euros, and there were also 7 billion euros in convertible bonds that were not included.

Her foundation manages 75% of the Hebihachi family's overseas assets and 45% of its Japanese assets, which is why she can bankrupt many of the Hebihachi family's companies in a very short time. As a result, that old geezer, Kotaro Fuma, had no choice but to submit.

He himself may not be afraid of death, but he does not want his family to fall into an economic crisis.

Just as Gu Ran said, if the Snake Clan can't even pay pensions next month, the entire Japanese underworld will be in chaos!

Chapter 482 The Next Negotiation

Caesar then realized that this proprietress was incredibly wealthy, probably even more so than the Gattuso family.

Therefore, he became even more interested in Su Enxi's boss behind the scenes, and kept pressing her for information about the boss.

Su Enxi, of course, refused to comply and could only keep making excuses.

"Do you know Gu Ran?" Chu Zihang interjected at this moment.

"I know him, of course I know him!" Su Enxi suddenly remembered the boy. She looked at Gu Ran and Ling in the corner and said, "Stop flirting and come save me!"

"How can I save you? I have absolutely no connection with you, we've only met once." Gu Ran lied through his teeth. "So we only met once, I didn't even know you bought this host club!"

Su Enxi then looked at Caesar: "Why don't we all go back to our rooms and sleep? Look, it's getting late."

“Alright, that’s the shop’s rule. Clear the table of wine,” Caesar said.

"How inhuman! How could they be so cruel to a weak woman?" As an office worker, Su Enxi wasn't good at fighting, but when she heard there was alcohol to drink, her eyes suddenly sparkled.

"Alright, alright, we won't get any information from her when she's drunk. Wouldn't that be letting her off easy?" Gu Ran thought for a moment and then stopped the farce. "Anyway, everything she did was to our advantage, but we don't know her purpose yet. Let's let her go for now."

Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged a glance, thinking that this was indeed the case.

But Su Enxi was unhappy: "Hey, I finally get to legally get drunk once in a while, why are you stopping me?"

Gu Ran said, "I won't let you, you stinking drunkard, have your way!"

"You're really mean, kid. What's wrong with letting me have a drink and act crazy once?"

"You know you can get drunk and cause trouble, right?"

As the two were arguing, a doctor suddenly appeared outside, carrying a medical kit, and was welcomed in by the humpback whale.

"I'll take Zero to the room for the surgery. You two can continue talking." Gu Ran went over to take Zero away, but Zero insisted on waiting for them to come to a conclusion.

"Are you badly injured?" Su Enxi asked.

Gu Ran said, "The kneecap is shattered; we need to remove the bone fragments inside."

"Holy crap!" Su Enxi exclaimed in surprise. "You should have said so earlier! I would have gone to arrange a hospital visit!"

“The doctor has arrived, let him perform the surgery,” Zero said.

"Where did you find this doctor?" Caesar was a little suspicious; he couldn't let the Snake Clan know that he had another wounded soldier on his side.

“The doctor at the private clinic is my friend,” the humpback whale said at this moment, knowing that he should help keep the boss’s wife’s situation a secret.

"Let's go, boss lady, arrange a room for us to use as an operating room." Gu Ran still spoke up and pulled Su Enxi along.

Su Enxi quickly seized the opportunity to slip away and left with Gu Ran, but she still felt a little regretful that she hadn't been able to drink any wine.

As she was leaving, she took the keys to a Mercedes-Benz out of her bag and tossed them to Caesar, saying, "Go if you want. You don't need to tell me. I'll pretend I don't know anything."

Caesar took the key and discussed it with Chu Zihang.

In general, apart from the time when the Snake-Headed Eight Families threw them into the sea, their academy and the Snake-Headed Eight Families are not fundamentally hostile; they both want to prevent the resurrection of the god.

However, they did have a conflict with the Snake-Headed Eight Families regarding the matter of Genji.

So the current question is, will Genjiro believe that there is someone behind the King? Can we persuade Genjiro to cooperate with Genjiro?

The problem is that the Snake Clan simply doesn't believe Genji's story, doesn't believe that the King led out the demon from Genji's body, and doesn't believe Gu Ran's speculation about split personality.

They will only see Genji as a demon and want to eliminate him once again.

"We cannot return Minamoto no Chinohara to the Snake-Headed Eighth Family," Lu Mingfei suddenly said.

His reason was simple: they had previously analyzed that there might be someone behind the king, and he was plotting a huge conspiracy. This conspiracy was more complicated than they had imagined. With his stubborn personality, the tortoise was no match for the person behind the scenes. His mind was far less sharp than that of Genji.

Chu Zihang agreed with Lu Mingfei's statement. He also felt that the person behind the scenes was controlling Wang Jiang and that what they were planning must be terrifying. However, what exactly was their purpose?

"Let me persuade my brother!"

When Genjiro appeared, his body was still somewhat weak, as if he hadn't rested well, and he still looked a bit dejected.

He had been eavesdropping the whole time, so he agreed with Lu Mingfei's guess that the king's purpose, or the person behind him, could not possibly be just to evolve into a pure-blooded dragon.

He felt he should meet with Genjiro to share the intelligence they currently possessed, which could persuade Genjiro to join forces against the King and the person behind him.

“But now the situation has changed.” Gu Ran came downstairs at this time. “Around 3 a.m. this morning, the Well of Hidden Bones was opened by the Snake-Headed Eight Families. The subspecies of the dragon and the embryo of the god were encased in 5,000 tons of mercury, and the high temperature of the thermite manufacturing process may have caused fatal damage to the god. Perhaps Genji is celebrating the killing of the god right now.”

"How did you know?" Caesar asked in surprise.

"Zero told me that she had just returned from the Well of Corpses. The reason she was injured was because she helped stop the rebellious Kanto branch and helped the Snake-Headed Eight Families defend against the rebellion."

Gu Ran continued, saying that the history recorded by the Snake Clan embellished Izanagi, and from the beginning, Izanagi was reluctant to destroy the sacred remains that were said to help humans evolve into pure-blooded dragons.

The White King used human greed to protect the sacred remains, so the Well of Remains did not become a prison for the sacred remains, but rather a breeding ground for the gods to incubate them, which is why so many Ghost-toothed Vipers guarded it.

"So she came to Japan to gather intelligence?" Chu Zihang asked.

“Yeah, some ninth-grade seniors only collect gossip, while second-year juniors are collecting top-secret information,” Gu Ran said, glancing at Fingel.

Fingel, meanwhile, was eating potato chips, seemingly unaware of who Gu Ran was talking about.

"How did she do that...? That's amazing!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed sincerely.

Like Fingel, after learning of the betrayal by the Japanese branch, he was destitute, starving nine times in three days and almost starving to death on the street.

But Zero, this little girl, actually found out such important information all by herself and protected the Well of Corpses.

Gu Ran said, "According to Zero, she infiltrated the homes of various family heads and also went to the shrine of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. There was a priest in the shrine who had an unusual fondness for underage girls, so she used her advantage of being a legally young girl to obtain a lot of useful information from that priest."

"Is it really that academic?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused.

Gu Ran laughed and said, "You can simply think of her as seducing a perverted old lecher from Japan. Of course, it seems she hasn't lost her virginity and won't."

Lu Mingfei raised his hands in surrender, saying he preferred a more subtle way of putting it.

Gu Ran then looked at Genji: "In other words, within the Snake-Headed Eight Families, they already believe they have thwarted the King's conspiracy. The next step is to eliminate the remnants of the Demon Clan. The King is to be killed, and you, as Ryoma, are also to be killed. There is no possibility that Genji will trust you."

Yuan Zhinu understood Gu Ran's meaning, but he still wanted to find a way to talk to Yuan Zhisheng because he believed that this was the only chance to reconcile with Yuan Zhisheng. If he missed this opportunity, he probably would never have another chance.

He said that he and Yuan Zhisheng were blood relatives and he wanted to reconcile no matter what. The reason he wanted to kill Wang Jiang was to use Wang Jiang's blood to cleanse himself of his sins. Regardless of whether Yuan Zhisheng forgave him, he hoped to meet with Yuan Zhisheng, talk for a while, and reconcile with him.

Seeing this, Caesar also decided to negotiate with the Snake Clan the next day.

"Can we negotiate with the Snake Clan on behalf of the school?" Chu Zihang said. "If we make the wrong decision, the college will be held responsible."

Caesar said that if they made the wrong decision, they would have to bear the consequences themselves, whatever they might think.

But Chu Zihang was still worried because they couldn't be sure that the god was really dead before they found the sacred remains. The sacred remains lived by devouring people's hearts, and as long as humanity still had the desire for evolution, it would always find a way to be resurrected.

Chu Zihang said, "If God fully awakens, Tokyo will probably be destroyed. There are tens of millions of people in this city. Can we decide the course of history?"

A silence fell over everyone; no one knew what to do.

"Hesitation only gives the opponent more time to prepare." Gu Ran then took out a wine glass and poured wine for everyone. "So what if we made a mistake? A hero who makes a mistake is better than a fool who does nothing."
