Chapter 204 Is this your seed?
This is Angers' second visit to Japan.

He first arrived in Japan aboard a U.S. Navy cruiser, entering through Tokyo as a representative of the occupying forces.

Angers wore tortoiseshell glasses, a plaid coat, and an old white shirt underneath. He stood ramrod straight, his gaze carrying a hint of defiance.

"Stop looking, it was Inuyama He who sent me to pick you up."

Uesugi snatched Angers' suitcase and dragged it out.

"How could this be?" Angers was a little confused and quickly followed Uesugi Yue out of the airport.

"What do you mean, what happened?" Uesugi Kotetsu turned around and glanced at Angers.

Uesugi called a taxi, which was the best hospitality he could offer his "old friend" Angers. Taxi fares in Tokyo were ridiculously expensive, and Uesugi secretly felt the pinch in his wallet.

"Where are you taking me?" Angers asked.

"Of course we're going to my place! Or would you rather stay at a five-star hotel?"

"Shouldn't I be treated to a presidential suite in a five-star hotel?"

“You’ve started fantasizing about it.” Uesugi Kotsu smiled at Angers.

"Hold."

In the traffic of Tokyo, Angers spotted a gang of thugs stuck in traffic on the other side of the road.

"what……"

“I think I understand,” Angers said.

“That must be the convoy that came to pick me up,” Angers said, pointing to the opposite lane.

"I don't know." Uesugi glanced out the car window; the yakuza convoy soon disappeared from sight.

"Humm..."

Angers looked at Uesugi Kotsu, whom he hadn't seen for almost sixty years, this super hybrid who had disappeared from the world's sight for sixty years.

"Is it He who asked you to come out of retirement again to save the current chaotic situation?" Angers asked curiously.

"No."

“I just wanted to repay He’s favor,” Uesugi Etsu replied.

To repay Inuyama He's favor, Uesugi Kotsugu was referring to the paternity test.

“Do you know what they’ve been doing lately?” Angers asked again.

"I'm not sure, I only know that they've started a gang war."

"Oh?"

Angers glanced at the taxi driver and decided to tell him the details of what had happened when they got to Uesugi Kotsu's house.

An hour later, Angers arrived at Uesugi Kotsu's house.

"The former Shadow Emperor actually lives in such a shabby detached house," Angers remarked from Uesugi Etsu's doorstep.

“I’m not like you, I don’t even have a home.” Uesugi Kotsu verbally attacked Angers.

How do you know I don't have a home?

Why should I need to know you have a home?

“You’ve grown a lot,” Angers said.

"Don't act like an elder," Uesugi Echizen said, somewhat annoyed.

Once inside, Angers acted as if he were the homeowner, looking through each room and commenting on Uesugi Koshi's taste in furniture and decor.

"It's not even close to being a safe house."

“This is my home, just a place where I live. It’s not a safe house for lunatics like you. It’s not bulletproof and doesn’t hide any firearms.” Uesugi poured a cup of tea and pushed it from one side of the table toward Angers.

"So, why did you bring this thing back to Japan?" Uesugi asked Angers.

“They betrayed us at the worst possible time, and that’s why I came to Japan,” Angers replied calmly.

"Is it about your students?" Uesugi asked.

“I’m very satisfied with Aho’s arrangements, and I happen to have many questions I want to ask you,” Angers said.

"what?"

In the living room, Uesugi Koshi and Angers sat cross-legged around a small coffee table.

"You are guarding a city that has sunk to the bottom of the sea, where the past of the dragons, their technology... and their remains are buried." "The three students I sent went into the depths of the Japan Trench in a manned submersible and found that city on the seabed."

Uesugi listened quietly to Angers' story.

"Your family tampered with their manned submersible, but they were all amazing young people who miraculously survived the ordeal."

"It's a pity that the ancient underwater city was destroyed along with the manned submersible."

"Isn't this great?" Uesugi Kotsushi laughed.

"That ancient city was Takamagahara, and it's finally gone!"

“Hmph, your god, your god is there too, but it woke up long ago and left before Takamagahara was destroyed. Do you know where it went?” Angers asked.

"god……"

"Hold."

"You kept so much from me?!" Uesugi felt an urge to slam his fist on the table.

“Tell me everything you know. We have experience in slaughtering gods,” Angers said to Uesugi Kotetsu.

“There’s a guy hiding behind the scenes. His goal might not just be to resurrect God, but also to replace God.”

"If you don't want things to end badly, share everything."

"...I...I know that..."

Uesugi got up, grabbed some paper and pen, and began to draw right in front of Angers.

Angers thought that Uesugi Kotsushi would tell him very little, but in reality, Angers felt as if he had listened to a long academic lecture. Uesugi Kotsushi piled up page after page of notes and drawings on white paper, with no repetition.

"Alright, that's about enough..."

Uesugi Koshi put down his pen, glanced at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and noticed that it was getting dark.

"Really are……"

"Can't you be more concise?" Angers rubbed his eyes.

"You're the one who told me to tell you everything I know," Uesugi said, crossing his arms in dissatisfaction.

“Alright, alright, I’ve got the important points. I’m hungry, shouldn’t you take me out for some local food? I don’t want to eat what you cook,” Angers said.

"Hmph! How dare you speak to me like that."

"Judging from your physical condition, you also maintain an exercise routine?" Angers asked.

“Want to fight me again? Then the outcome will be completely different from sixty years ago.” Uesugi Kotsugi looked at Angers.

"Your black hair, is it dyed?" Angers asked.

So what if it's dyed?

"Who are you trying to impress with this dye?"

"My son and daughter."

"What! You actually have a son and a daughter!?" Angers was shocked.

"Do you panic too, Angers?"

“It’s truly surprising that you have offspring,” Angers said.

“I didn’t want to either.” Uesugi gave Angers a sour look.

"Is the next step to introduce me to your children?" Angers asked with some anticipation.

As the principal, student recruitment was within his job scope, and Angers was quite hopeful that Uesugi Etsu's children could also be trained into decent dragon-slaying weapons.

“You’ve already seen him,” Uesugi Kotsugi said.

"I've seen him before?" Angers asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it's the current leader of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Genjiro, whose daughter is the current head of the Uesugi family."

"..."

silence.

Angers took out a cigar and lit it for himself.

Cuban cigars are really strong!

When Genji was studying at Kassel College, how come he didn't realize at all that he was Uesugi Kotsu's son?
