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

“I want to, but I can’t do it right now,” Genji said calmly. “I’m not going to France, I’m running away. As I told you before, I’ve never been a good person. I’ve done a lot of bad things and killed a lot of people. I envy you, though, for being able to be friends with justice.”

"A ghost?" Chu Zihang asked.

“Ghosts are actually people, just with unstable bloodlines,” Genji said. “Perhaps, we are all ghosts in the end.”

"So you're saying you also want to be a friend of justice?" Caesar asked.

"Which child wouldn't want to? But I am the 'Emperor,' a high and mighty emperor. In the face of this world, the emperor is actually just a tiny thing. In order for my people to live better, I must do evil."

“I understand, it’s the Puritan church of ‘necessary evils’,” Gu Ran said. “But don’t make doing evil sound so nice… Never mind, I’m not good at preaching, let’s talk about the current situation.”

Gu Ran asked, "How's the investigation into the attack on the principal going? We're not going to pin the blame on the Ghost Clan again, are we?"

This was the first time Caesar and Chu Zihang had heard about the principal being attacked, and Gu Ran gave a brief account.

“It could only have been done by the demons,” Genji said with absolute certainty.

“Sigh, you’re hopeless,” Gu Ran said. “Let me tell you the truth, the principal thinks that Tachibana Masamune is a big problem. He appeared out of nowhere and gathered all the yakuza together. And haven’t you noticed? Deadpool and out-of-control ghosts have only increased in recent years. It wasn’t that serious in the past.”

He continued, "And, you should know in your heart who has the ability to keep Deadpool in this building."

Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Gu Ran didn't want to say too much, lest he offend Genjiro. Tachibana Masamune was Genjiro's closest and most respected person. If Gu Ran's tattling was based on reason and evidence, it would be fine, but if it was unfounded, it could easily provoke a rebellious attitude.

In particular, Genjiro was an extremely stubborn person.

Gu Ran concluded, "Alright, that's all I have to say. In short, don't trust people too much, especially those close to you. Apart from your retainers, don't believe too much what others say. You yourself know that there's never been any sense of integrity in your underworld..."

After saying that, Gu Ran left with Caesar, Chu Zihang, and the others.

"By the way, you guys go back first, I have other places to go." Gu Ran parted ways with them at an intersection.

"We can't go back now either..." Caesar said with a wry smile.

Yes, Princess Kaguya is still under lockdown, and the building remains sealed off. Only the elevator shaft allows one to climb between floors.

So if you want to leave, you either need to be like Lu Mingfei, who has a key card given to him by his boss Lu Mingze, or a helicopter arranged by Su Enxi, so that you can escape safely.

It would be difficult for him to leave, after all, this was the stronghold of the Snake Clan, and its defenses were by no means weak.

"What do you want to do?" Chu Zihang asked.

"We'll rob and plunder to earn some operating funds for us," Gu Ran said. "But it's not good to bring you along; the three of us together would be too conspicuous."

This is not to underestimate their abilities, but Gu Ran has the means to infiltrate silently, while the two of them do not.

Therefore, Gu Ran bid farewell to the two and prepared to head straight to the place where the Genji Heavy Industries had the most money—the treasury!

In fact, he had already found the location of the vault long ago. The Demon Clan had more than 2 billion yen in cash at their base in Osaka, and the Snake Clan certainly had even more!

Gu Ran quickly sneaked into the vault door. Using camouflage to conceal himself and the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, he could easily fly to different floors.

Chapter 432 Deadpool Farm

The vault is locked with an electronic lock, meaning it's controlled by Princess Kaguya. However, the vault door isn't very thick, not even as thick as the door that closes Erii's vault, because it's only used for storing cash, likely for regular business transactions.

Gu Ran stood with his hands behind his back, glancing at the scene with interest. He estimated it to be around 10 billion yen, all in ten-thousand-yuan notes.

Organized crime groups prefer cash transactions because cash doesn't leave a clear record of transactions. Various organized crime activities often use cash, making it harder for law enforcement officers to trace their crimes.

In a few years, when Bitcoin becomes popular and cryptocurrencies are used for transactions, it will be even harder to trace various illegal and criminal activities.

Fortunately, Gu Ran had already deployed Bitcoin.

Princess Kaguya's electronic controls, coupled with a rather complex door lock, already provided very tight protection, since ordinary thieves would not be able to break into the Snake-Headed Hachi's house.

Even robbers would need at least a well-trained reinforced company of soldiers to have any chance of taking this place.

However, the defense here was a piece of cake for Gu Ran.

Since he dared to come, he must have been confident of conquering this place.

"Hehehe, the money from the IOU and the nude photos, we'll use the money in the vault to pay off the debts. From now on, we'll be even!" Gu Ran happily overcame the vault's security.

*……*……*

Yuan Zhisheng was suspended from the beam, and it was unknown how long he had been hanging there, but it must have been more than an hour.

"I hope no one finds out and I starve to death here..." Yuan Zhisheng laughed self-deprecatingly. He never expected to be completely fooled by three junior students from the academy. It was truly embarrassing.

The effects of the anesthetic from Frigga's bullet had gradually worn off, and Genji was able to use his strength again. However, Caesar had tied a very tight sailor's knot, making it impossible for him to break free or snap, because Gu Ran was holding the steel cable of an elevator.

“You brat…” Yuan Zhisheng was speechless and simply stopped moving.

To be honest, working with this group is quite interesting. If it weren't for the 'god' and the incident at the bottom of the sea, they could become friends who understand each other. Even if they weren't friends, they wouldn't need to become enemies.

Yuan Zhisheng hung there for a while longer before finally hearing footsteps.

But he dared not speak, fearing that there might be Deadpool that hadn't been completely eliminated.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things? Boss, you're being tied up and played with!" The person who came was Crow, and among his retainers, Crow had the foulest mouth.

The crow circled around Genjiro once, then, unsurprisingly, took out its phone to take a picture...

"Put me down right now!" Genjiro shouted angrily.

The crow touched the steel cable and said, "Boss, there's nothing I can do about this. The person who tied you up tied a knot that's impossible to untie."

He took out his walkie-talkie and shouted into the channel: "Found the boss, he's down in the elevator shaft. Get the hydraulic shears down, the boss has been tied up."

"No way, the boss actually got tied up!" Yaksha's voice came through the walkie-talkie. "Did you take a picture? Was he tied up in a philosophical way?"

The crow said happily, "I took some pictures, it was very interesting. I wonder who tied him up. If it were me, I would definitely take the opportunity to strip naked and take nude photos of the boss. Nude photos of the head of the Snake Clan! I wonder how much money I could get for blackmail!"

Yuan Zhisheng's face darkened. "So that's where Gu Ran got the idea to take nude photos. He learned it from these gangsters. Damn it!"

About five minutes later, a slender and tall figure descended from the elevator shaft; it was none other than Yabuki Sakura, the most reliable retainer of Genjiro.

Holding the hydraulic shears in her hand, she glanced at Yuan Zhisheng, then coldly said to the crow, "Why don't you put it down first?"

Gu Ran tied a slipknot at the end where Yuan Zhisheng was hanging, so that he could be taken down first if he was discovered.

The crow scratched its head: "I was too busy taking pictures."

Then, before Sakura could get angry, he quickly lowered the steel cable, and Sakura immediately used hydraulic fire pliers to cut the steel cable tied to Genjiro.

Yuan Zhisheng lay on the ground, his whole body numb from being tied up so tightly.

"What's the casualty situation in the building?" he asked.

“There were many casualties on the lower floors, but someone helped take care of some of the Deadpools,” Yabuki Sakura replied. “We don’t know who he is, we only know that he is very fast, and we can only vaguely see a figure in the surveillance footage.”

"It must be Gu Ran." Yuan Zhisheng knew in his heart that it must have been Gu Ran who did it, since he was dealing with Deadpool before entering the mural hall.

“Someone even used powerful incantations to take care of a large group of dead servants on the sixth floor,” Sakura paused and said, “like it was done by Ms. Uesugi.”

"Eri, huh? How come she's on the sixth floor...?"

As Yuan Zhisheng was wondering, Crow interrupted, "Boss, I see you're not seriously injured, so let's cut to the chase. There are some things I must show you."

He had just made a few jokes because he had some time, but now that the boss has been relieved of his duties, he naturally has to get down to business.

Before Yuan Zhisheng could ask what was wrong, Ying helped him up. She was a little shorter than Yuan Zhisheng, so she was perfect as his 'crutch'.

“It’s not far from here. This matter is very important. If we hide it or delay it for too long, we can’t afford to take the blame.” Crow also helped Yuan Zhisheng walk.

Genjiro knew it must be something very important, because it was rare to see his retainers so serious.

Soon, he was taken to the elevator in the inner district and went down to the Iron Dome Temple in the sewers. This was the secret base built by the Snake Clan under the Tokyo sewers.

Next, Sakura and Crow led Genjiro into a hidden elevator in the shadows, and further in, they arrived at a rusty iron door.

A crow stood guard in front of the iron gate with a hunting rifle, only putting it away when it saw Genji arrive.

He stopped Yuan Zhisheng and said, "Boss, you need to be prepared about what's inside."

In fact, when Genjiro saw the slime all over the floor while riding the elevator, he was already mentally prepared, because it must have been the place where Deadpool the Snake had passed by.

"We've reported everything we needed to. We don't know anything about your patriarch's affairs and we don't want to get involved..." Crow said, placing one hand across the iron gate.

"Get out of the way." Genji's face was ashen.

The crow and the yaksha moved aside, and Genjiro's body was no longer so numb, so he could walk in on his own.

Then he saw a room full of surgical instruments, an operating table for experiments, and a bone-cutting machine, which looked like a large slaughterhouse.

Behind this, there is a glass brick wall. The brick wall has been broken, and all the water in the reservoir inside has poured out. Judging from the volume of the water and the depth of the reservoir, there are at least tens of thousands of tons of water, which is more exaggerated than a typical aquarium!

In these puddles, there were several creatures that looked like young snakes, with sharp bony claws and ferocious muscles.

Gu Ran had previously said that Deadpool's lair was underground, but he hadn't believed it. Now that he'd seen it with his own eyes, he no longer harbored any illusions.

He reached for Raven's pistol and shattered the hearts of these young Deadpools one shot at a time.

Crow followed behind, covering its nose, and said, "These dead servants are all kept by humans. There are bones of cattle and sheep in the tank, as well as the bones of other dead servants, and...human ones too. In short, these things will eat anything when they're hungry. The bottom of the tank is full of bones and rotting organic matter. These dead servants don't mind being in the filth; they eat in the tank every day as if it were their daily meal..."

At this moment, Genji raised his hand, signaling the crow to stop talking.

He had actually guessed it. Deadpool was a human in disguise. The average person was only a little over a meter tall, but most of the Deadpools he encountered tonight were three to five meters tall, with the tallest, a pregnant Deadpool, being over seven meters long.

Obviously, they must have ingested a lot of extra nutrients, and pregnant women need even more nutrients, so they must be being raised by someone.

He simply hadn't expected that the breeding pond was so close to him.

The crow waved, and someone carried over a metal barrel. When it was opened, they found a human body that was transforming into Deadpool. He seemed to have been given a strong sleeping pill and was fast asleep. There was also dry ice around the metal barrel to keep it cool.

This person doesn't have an East Asian face; he looks more like someone from Southeast Asia.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly, recalling what Gu Ran had mentioned about the Zhang family in Nanyang.

He shot and executed the person inside, killing the half-human, half-dead servant forever.

Sakura said from the side, "These iron barrels were brought in by submarine, but we intercepted them. The people in charge of the shipyard don't know what these are either. Deadpool's food was also brought in by submarine. If you calculate it, the daily transport volume is probably several tens of tons."

Genji knew that the building was built by Maruyama Construction, a subsidiary of their company, but the management rights of the building belonged only to the patriarch. He was the acting patriarch, while the previous patriarch was Tachibana Masamune.

Genjiro really didn't want to doubt him, but reality didn't allow him to deny it at all.

"Go find Mr. Masamune, I need to see him," Genjiro ordered softly.

"Is it here?" the crow asked, covering its nose.

“This place is disgusting. Let’s go to the mural hall. Also, cover our dead brothers with white sheets. Don’t let them lie here like this,” said Genjiro.

“Yes,” Sakura replied immediately.
