Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 286 Commission Arrives, Black King Takes Down the Trash

"Eri, have you packed your luggage?"

On the fourth floor of Takamagahara, Lu Mingfei leaned against the door, watching the girl sitting on the bed, frowning as she looked at the clothes and toys scattered all over the bed.

Last night, he told Erii that he would take her to China to experience the charm and cuisine of this ancient country, and the girl naturally agreed with great joy.

I got up early this morning and started packing, but I'm still not done.

It's not that she has trouble making choices; there's just a lot of stuff to choose from.

Last night, Genji sent someone to deliver all of Erii's belongings from the ξ floor, which was a way of showing that he was determined to leave, and he even entrusted his younger sister to someone else's care.

Erii has quite a lot of stuff. When Lu Mingfei abducted her from Genji Heavy Industries, he only took less than a tenth of it. Adding the things she bought in Shibuya, it could easily fill four or five suitcases.

This doesn't even include her toy figurines.

When Erii saw him arrive, her eyes lit up, and she gently waved her snow-white arm: "Sakura, come help me."

She was tidying up when she suddenly got into the mood and started trying on the clothes one by one to match them. But when she was finally satisfied, she found that all the clothes were piled up together and she didn't know how to fold them neatly.

Lu Mingfei was somewhat helpless after learning the truth, but that's what makes girls so adorable. He smiled and went forward to help tidy up.

To be honest, he had been an undocumented immigrant in Japan for the past few days, but the ever-helpful potato chips had already prepared all the necessary procedures and visas for him, so he could fly back to China directly.

Money paves the way; this is a universal truth.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a visa, as his hometown offers visa-free access worldwide.

Do you understand the value of the nine Holy Grails? (Tactical lean back.jpg)

Aren't my brothers going?

Erii, feeling a great sense of accomplishment as she packed the clothes and toys from the bed into her suitcase, remembered that she had two older brothers and asked Lu Mingfei if they were on the travel itinerary.

Lu Mingfei had contacted Yuan Zhisheng last night and knew his plans. He simply shook his head and said, "Your brother and the others have some things to do. They'll come to China to play next time."

The feud between the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan has lasted for a thousand years. It is unrealistic to expect to resolve it overnight. Fortunately, these gangsters believe that might makes right, and the Minamoto brothers and Uesugi Koshi are the strongest.

"Then shall we come back?" Erii wasn't stupid; she was just naive and knew that this might be a trip with no return ticket.

Just like in her memory, her brother took her to live in France, and they would only return to Japan on special occasions.

Lu Mingfei knew this topic couldn't be avoided, and he never intended to bluff his way out of it. He simply sat sideways on the edge of the bed, watching the girl sitting like a duck.

"Eri can come back anytime she wants, but she may settle in China in the future."

"Where's Sakura?" Erii asked, looking at him.

"Of course I'll go with you. Erii is a bit silly, I'll worry if I'm not around." Lu Mingfei smiled.

"I'm not stupid at all." The girl pouted, pulled the only large teddy bear plush toy that wasn't packed in her suitcase, and hugged it to her chest. Her delicate face was hidden behind the plush bear, with only her two beautiful eyes showing as she looked at him.
"If I live in China in the future, will it be inconvenient for me to visit my brother?"

Over the years, she had grown accustomed to Yuan Zhisheng's companionship. Even in the world of her dreams, they were family who depended on each other for survival. How could they possibly separate so easily?

"Nowadays, transportation is very convenient. If you take a plane, you can meet in just a few hours."

"Can't we just fly there?" Erii gestured with her hands, indicating that she really liked this cool and romantic way of traveling.

"Eri can do that if she likes it too." If it were before, when Erii said she wanted to keep driving Kotodama: Sword Control and Netherworld Light across Eurasia, Lu Mingfei would definitely feel a bit pressured. After all, this thing is not like driving a car; it really consumes one's physical strength.

But after slaying the dragon last night, Lu Mingfei, along with Erii, traversed hundreds of kilometers in one go, flying from Honshu Island to the Japan Trench and slaying the dragon with a single sword strike, without even breaking a sweat.

He wasn't sure if it could match the endurance of an airplane, but it was definitely faster.

"That's good." Erii nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips hidden behind the big-headed bear.

"Is Chinese difficult to learn?" she asked again.

"Well, Erii is so smart, she should be able to learn it quickly... right?" Lu Mingfei was also a little uncertain. Erii could read and write Chinese characters, but spoken language was a bit hard to explain.

It took her a long time to learn this in her past life.

However, she has now completed herself and become a true evolved species. Although Chinese is difficult, it shouldn't be too difficult.

"Will Sakura's family like me?" she asked, clutching her teddy bear plush toy, revealing the questions that had been nagging at her.

"It's hard to say. I don't even know if they like me or not." Lu Mingfei is now starting to suspect that he might not be his parents' biological child, but he has no evidence.

"what?"

"But Erii is so cute, they'll definitely like her."

The girl was relieved to hear this and felt a little smug. She then asked, "Are Sakura's friends in China easy to get along with?"

She has never had any friends and doesn't know how to make friends. The only way for her to do so is to integrate into Lu Mingfei's circle of friends.

"Hiss—" Speaking of this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but cross his arms like Conan, mentally counting his "friends." In the end, he could only count Little Fairy and a few from the e-sports club.

Needless to say, Su Xiaoqiang is a pure beauty enthusiast. If Erii, who is as pretty as her, were to praise her as "amazing" when Xiaotiannv pays the bill, Su Xiaoqiang would be willing to pay for all of Erii's meals for the rest of her life.

As for those guys in the club, although they drink and smoke in private and always like to take over other people's starting points when they're bragging, as soon as a girl with even a little bit of looks stands in front of them, they immediately turn into stammering little chefs who don't even dare to look people in the eye.

"Don't worry, they're all easy to get along with."

Erii blinked at him, her eyes sparkling:

"Then where shall we live?"

"I want to visit Sakura's school."

What was the place where Sakura grew up like?

The girl's questions came one after another, as if she had returned to that night in Baijinji Town, but this time her doubts were no longer limited to superficial fantasies, but were based on realistic demands.

Lu Mingfei answered patiently, passing the time in a relaxed and cozy manner, waiting for Chu Zihang and the others to return.

As lunchtime approached, three cars parked outside Takamagahara.

The black Maserati's door opened, and two handsome, energetic old men stepped out.

Following closely behind was the Hummer H2, which was accompanied by Genjiro and Sakura. To put it bluntly, the Snake Clan's family meeting was just an announcement of what to do next, not a gathering of people to discuss solutions. Therefore, Genjiro, who had just become the 74th head of the family, became a hands-off leader after the meeting.

However, in order to make his presence felt, he sent out the crow and the yaksha, just to pave the way for these two troublemakers, so that they wouldn't be left without a foothold after he left.

In the final black Mercedes, S-class executive Cheng Shuangfan was questioned by her three juniors the whole way. Due to the rules and regulations of the executive department, she could not disclose the details of the mission, but she still selflessly shared some experience on how to handle situations. It was not particularly profound, but it was practical and enough to save them a lot of trouble during the mission, and even save their lives.

Although he had said similar things to many juniors and new members of the hunting team, this time was somewhat special.

It wasn't just because these three were all top students at Kassel College (Finger: past aces are still aces, oh), but also because the black-haired boy in the back row, who shared the same Chinese bloodline as him, gave him a very familiar feeling.

This was the first time Cheng Shuangfan had met Chu Zihang.

He had only gone to find Lu Mingfei, but he was stunned the moment he saw Chu Zihang.

They both share the surname Chu, both use Japanese swords, and both are the sacred sword Murasame...

At that moment, the figure of the boy in Cheng Shuangfan's eyes almost overlapped with that person.

However, the two were worlds apart in personality. This boy was incredibly cold, unlike the other man who was witty and frivolous. Their appearances were also quite different, though their outlines shared some similarities. Throughout the journey, Cheng Shuangfan couldn't help but glance at Chu Zihang through the rearview mirror, trying to find more similarities between him and the other man.

Last night, he went to the principal to demand his payment and learned that the man's last mission was in China, after which the mission failed and his fate was unknown. He was not told anything more, but was told to keep an eye on Lu Mingfei, and all the doubts would be resolved.

Upon seeing Chu Zihang, his doubts deepened.

Wanting to ask more questions, Chu Zihang was clearly preoccupied. He remained silent after getting in the car, his brows furrowed into a deep frown. Even though he selflessly shared his experience, he couldn't arouse the other party's desire to communicate.

Wasn't this kid supposed to be a notorious killer in the Execution Department?

Instead of coming to me to exchange dragon-slaying tips, why are you acting all profound now?

Cheng Shuangfan couldn't figure it out. She wondered if the principal had given the child some kind of spell, but she could only keep quiet about it. She thought she would borrow Chu Zihang's Murasame sword later to see if it was the same one she remembered.

Angers took the lead and walked at the front, while Uesugi Kotsu walked beside Genji with a slightly nervous expression, quietly asking what he should pay attention to when meeting Chizuru and Erii later.

The gates of Takamagahara were wide open, and a humpback whale was cleaning with a group of male hosts. Upon seeing the distinguished guest arrive, he hurriedly greeted him personally and apologized for the elevator being damaged and the only option being to use the stairs.

Angers patted him on the shoulder and said it was okay, he also took the stairs in Tamamo.

The meeting place was still on the third floor. Genji stood at the top of the stairs to greet them, with Sakurai Kogure and Sakurai Akira standing beside her.

Old Tang didn't want to get involved in this, so he went with Longma Xun, saying he was going to help carry the luggage.

When Uesugi saw his handsome youngest son and his obedient and virtuous daughter-in-law, his eyes lit up instantly. He couldn't wait to grab Angers by the collar and show him what a true winner in life with both a son and a daughter looks like.

Although you may have defeated me in other areas for a lifetime, as long as my bloodline continues, I will always remain invincible.

Unfortunately, this was just a thought, because Genjiro's gaze only lingered on him for a moment, and that was only because he was standing next to Genjiro, so she had to divert her attention.

“Principal Angers, it’s nice to see you again.”

Genjiro nodded to Angre, then quickly walked up to Genjiro and asked with concern:
"Brother, are you alright?"

Yuan Zhisheng shook his head. He had indeed been injured last night, but he was mostly exhausted and recovered after a night's rest.

Although he already knew that the rumors of the brothers turning against each other were a thing of the past, seeing this scene of brotherly affection and respect with his own eyes, Uesugi Etsuya still couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn Herzog."

Angers laughed and joked, "You weren't like this when I came before."

"Times have changed." Yuan Zhinv smiled gently, no longer as cold as before, maintaining the politeness and humility of a junior.

"Is Lu Mingfei not here?" Angers asked.

"He's upstairs." Yuan Zhinu gestured for him to enter and then turned to lead the way.

This time it wasn't in the snowy winter, but straight up to the fourth floor.

Pushing open the door, the group entered the fourth-floor hall, which resembled an aquarium. Lu Mingfei had already prepared tea and snacks. Erii waved to her brother, whose complexion had inexplicably improved overnight.

The fact that the highest leader of Kassel College and the highest leader of the Snake Clan gathered together at a host club and took the initiative to visit a young couple would likely cause a sensation throughout the mixed-race society if this got out, but those who knew the truth would never dare to say a word about it.

The meeting was the usual pleasantries and formalities. Uesugi sat next to Angers, completely ignoring the trivial conversation between the leaders of the two major forces and the blond-haired boy. He stared intently at Erii, growing more and more fond of her with each glance.

Hey, look at those eyes, look at those ears, look at that nose, look at that mouth, look at the color of her hair roots—it's exactly the same as her grandma's.

Uesugi felt a mix of bitterness and joy, his eyes displaying a complex expression resembling a pie chart.

The girl was puzzled by his gaze, turned her head away, and ignored him. She took out a game console from her pocket and started fiddling with it.

“I have a complete plan for my life and I don’t need or like others to tell me what to do.” Lu Mingfei shook his head and refused Angers’ invitation again. He was the free lion king of the grassland and didn’t like anyone to put him down and tell him what he should and shouldn’t do.

In particular, the people trying to set rules for him were a group of foreigners.

"If the dragon race in China revives and wreaks havoc, I will take action, but I don't want to get involved in other matters. I'm very busy, and there are many things waiting for me to resolve."

"For the sake of my senior brother, if you really encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can come to me. I guarantee that the price is fair and I will not cheat you, young or old."

Lu Mingfei pointed to the Yorozuya sign hanging behind him, looking like he was just doing things for money.

His sense of national and familial responsibility is reserved for his own people; when it comes to foreign countries, he always sets a clear price.

Once the commission is paid, the Black King is done for.

They didn't give enough money and turned to leave.

Angers was also helpless against Lu Mingfei. Given the current situation, even if Lu Mingfei's parents intervened, it might not be effective.

He developed too quickly and hid too well. In just half a month since he left the sight of Kassel College, he has already evolved into a terrifying weapon of mass destruction. Anyone who wants to use him should weigh whether their body is strong enough to withstand the backlash.

Based on the intelligence gathered so far, it wouldn't be difficult for Lu Mingfei to wipe out the Secret Party on his own, so he still needs to help suppress the news and prevent those idiots in the Secret Party from having any bad intentions towards Lu Mingfei.

will die.

Seeing that the principal was embarrassed, Cheng Shuangfan smiled and said that everyone would be taking the same flight back to China in the afternoon, so they could keep each other company.

Lu Mingfei had no objections; he had a good impression of Lao Cheng.

Caesar said that if he had the opportunity, he might travel to China during the summer vacation, and of course, he would also welcome Lu Mingfei to visit Italy, where he would personally accompany him.

The Gattuso family is currently on Lu Mingfei's list of suspects. If it is confirmed that Bondarev, who faked his death and escaped, is involved, who knows what kind of conflict might erupt.

However, that should have nothing to do with Caesar. He was a proud, immature person who admired the righteous path and had nothing to do with conspiracies and tricks.

Uesugi had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when they finally finished talking, he joined the conversation.

"Lu Jun, haven't we met somewhere before, like the street behind the back gate of Dongda University?" This morning, the general manager of a real estate company came to his door, asking if he had thought it through and whether he agreed to sell the ownership of that street.

The contract was still the same one Su Enxi had shown him the night before, and the price hadn't changed either—still an enormous sum that an ordinary person couldn't squander in several lifetimes.

Uesugi was curious as to why the person was changed, and the general manager said that their group's president was very busy and did not have enough time and energy to spend on one thing.

So he found the Inuyama family's lawyer, asked him to review the contract, and after confirming that there were no problems, he signed it. Immediately, they gave him an account with a huge fortune of $1.2 billion after tax, which he could withdraw at will.

With a thicker wallet comes more confidence, and Uesugi Yue naturally wouldn't forget what Su Enxi said: someone brought up that street, which led to his exposure and the discovery of information about his three children.

Lu Mingfei looked up at him and nodded politely: "Yes, we've met once before."

Knowing that what was to come was a family matter of royal blood, Angers did not intend to stay and watch the show. He got up to take his leave, taking his students and subordinates with him, leaving the family alone.

After everyone left, Uesugi Yue stood up and solemnly bowed to Lu Mingfei:
“Lord Lu, you have taken good care of my daughter and Erii these past few days, clearing up the misunderstandings of many years and saving them from a life-or-death crisis. I am extremely grateful.”

Although it was the young punk who had kidnapped his daughter, he knew he had no reason or right to interfere in their affairs, so he could only express his gratitude in this way.

Genjiro had already guessed that Uesugi Koshi was her biological father, so she wasn't too surprised when the truth was revealed and remained calm.

Lu Mingfei accepted the greeting without batting an eye: "I did it for Erii, it has nothing to do with you."

Erii, whose attention was distracted by Uesugi Koshi's sudden actions, glanced at him sideways, wondering what was going on.

Yuan Zhisheng hesitated, then finally just sighed softly.

When some responsibilities are taken on by others, even gratitude seems superfluous.

Uesugi straightened up, his gaze sweeping over Lu Mingfei's calm and expressionless face before landing on Erii and Genji, his wrinkles filled with complex emotions:
“I know, but I am, after all, their father. Even if I have never fulfilled my responsibilities, I should at least show some respect.”
