Lin Yu didn't seem to be joking.

After a long while, Uesugi Koshi accepted the fact that he had three children.

"Tell me everything! I want to hear it."

"Alright! Then I'll tell you," Lin Yu coughed lightly and said, "First of all, your eldest son is named Genjiro, the current head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. However, he also has a twin brother, who is your second son, Genjiro. He is currently the number two figure in the Demon Clan."

"What? Genji, how did he get involved with the Oni Clan? Is his bloodline unstable?" Uesugi Kotsushi questioned.

"Please don't be angry, let me finish," Lin Yu glanced at the other person and continued, "The bloodlines of those two brothers were actually stable, but later they fell into the trap of that old bastard Herzog. Oh, by the way, Herzog is the scientist who created your child."

Afterwards, Lin Yu told Uesugi Yue everything he knew.

Upon learning the truth, Uesugi was furious; how dare someone plot against his child!

"I'll take down that old bastard, Hel!"

After saying that, he slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an "emperor" again, emanating a tyrannical aura.

Erii, somewhat frightened, leaned closer to Lin Yu.

You can't kill him.

Lin Yu stated bluntly, "That old bastard is extremely cunning; he almost never reveals his true form or exposes himself to danger."

"Whether it's Tachibana Masamune of the Snake Clan or the King of the Demon Clan, they're all just his substitutes."

"By doing this, you'll only alert them."

After listening to Lin Yu's words, Uesugi Kotsushi gradually calmed down.

"Then what should we do? Kid, since you've come to me and are telling me all this, you must have some purpose! As long as you help me take him out, I'll agree to any condition."

“I also have a grudge against that old Herzog. If you want to get rid of him, you'll have to follow my plan.”

Lin Yu looked at Uesugi Kotsugu and said with a serious expression.

Chapter 38 Conversation with Uesugi Koshi (Part 2)

"Good lad, tell me your plan!"

Uesugi Kotsuya stared intently at Lin Yu, his eyes still brimming with murderous intent.

Of course, this murderous intent was directed at Herzog.

"One word: wait!" Lin Yu said firmly.

"Wait? Are you sure?"

Uesugi Kotsushi doubted he had misheard and stared wide-eyed at Lin Yu.

"We just need to wait. Right now, the entire Serpent Clan and the Demon Clan are in chaos. Herzog must be very anxious right now. We just need to wait for him to show a weakness."

Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Why? According to what you just said, he should be the kind of person who 'remains calm even if Mount Tai collapses before him'."

Uesugi asked, puzzled.

"Your Chinese is really good," Lin Yu exclaimed, then explained, "because I've lured away the most important person in that old Herzog's plan."

"who is it?"

Uesugi Kotsushi frowned, a strange feeling welling up inside him, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to Erii beside Lin Yu.

"That's right, it's Erii."

Lin Yu waved their clasped hands in front of Uesugi Kotsushi.

"By the way, Erii's surname is Uesugi!"

Uesugi Kotsu's face instantly darkened, a flicker of anger and worry flashing in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly.

"Eri Uesugi, could it be..."

“That’s right, Erii is indeed your youngest daughter,” Lin Yu admitted directly. “She is a key figure in the Herzog Project.”

Now, the murderous intent in Uesugi Etsu's eyes intensified.

But then, his gaze towards Erii softened, and he felt a pang of guilt.

Uesugi wanted to talk to his youngest daughter, whom he had never met before, but he didn't know what to say.

How have you been these past few years?

Uesugi asked somewhat haltingly, tears welling in the eyes of this former underworld tycoon.

Unlike the anger he felt upon hearing the story of the brothers Genjiro and Genjiro, his daughter, now standing before him, touched a softer spot in his heart.

Erii looked at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with great confusion.

“This is your father!” Lin Yu said. “Tell him how you’re doing.”

Erii tilted her head and thought for a moment, not understanding why the person in front of her was her father.

She didn't even know the meaning of "father".

But she still obediently wrote in her notebook: "It's okay! My brother plays games with me."

Uesugi took the notebook, glanced at it, and a smile appeared on his face, but he quickly frowned again. He looked up at Lin Yu, a hint of doubt and confusion flashing in his eyes.

"She...can't she speak?" Uesugi Koshi noticed Erii's unusual behavior.

Lin Yu shook his head slightly, and said solemnly, "It's not that I can't, it's that I can't."

"Why?" Uesugi Koshi pressed.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and explained, "Eri's Word of Power is Sequence 111, 'Judgment.' This Word of Power possesses extremely powerful strength. Because her bloodline is unstable, if she speaks, it will unleash the effects of the Word of Power, potentially causing immense damage to the surrounding area. Therefore, she can only express her thoughts through writing."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Etsushi's expression turned extremely grim. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Erii, his eyes revealing deep guilt and self-reproach.

"So that's how it is... It's all my fault..." Uesugi Koshi murmured to himself.

Looking at Uesugi Etsushi's expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow in his heart.

He knew of Uesugi Kotsuki's deep-seated pain and self-blame; while the bloodline of the "Emperor" was powerful, it also carried great risks.

Just then, Uesugi Yue suddenly noticed that the two were still holding hands. His gaze instantly sharpened as he stared intently at Lin Yu, his face dark as he asked, "Boy, what is your relationship with my daughter now?"

Lin Yu was startled by Uesugi Kotetsu's gaze, but still didn't let go of Erii's hand.

"We...we should be considered boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"

After speaking, Lin Yu's gaze towards Erii softened considerably.

Upon hearing this, Uesugi's expression darkened further. He gave a cold snort but said nothing more.

"Take good care of her."

"You can rest assured, I will definitely treat Erii well and will never let her suffer even the slightest harm again," Lin Yu assured him.

Chapter 39 Herzog's Vigilance

On the fringes of Tokyo, this bustling metropolis, lies a forgotten slum.

Beneath this desolate land lies a mysterious underground laboratory.

The laboratory was filled with a musty smell and the pungent odor of chemicals, and the walls were covered with various scientific instruments and experimental data charts.

However, the atmosphere at this moment was unusually tense.

An elderly man with a cunning appearance and sinister eyes stood taut in the center of the laboratory, staring intently at the "uninvited guest" before him.

He was Herzog, a brilliant scientist, but also an ambitious schemer.

Facing the man wearing the Odin mask, Herzog's voice was filled with wariness: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man smiled slightly, his tone calm yet firm: "Who I am is not important. What matters is that I can help you achieve your wish, because our goals are aligned, Dr. Herzog!"

Herzog was startled when he heard the other person call him by his name, but he remained calm.

He knew full well that the person before him was no ordinary individual and that he had to deal with him with utmost care.

"What's your purpose? How can you help me?" Herzog pressed, a sly glint in his eyes.

He understood perfectly well that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and the other party must have something to gain.

The masked man seemed to have anticipated his reaction, smiled, and then made his request: "Data sharing, including your future research findings."

Herzog frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "What else can you offer if this isn't enough?"

He was well aware of the value of his research and would not easily compromise.

The masked man nodded in understanding, then took a black briefcase from behind him and placed it in front of Herzog.

"How about adding this?" he said softly.

Herzog looked at the briefcase with suspicion, wondering to himself what was inside.

"What's inside?" he couldn't help but ask.

The masked man smiled and revealed the answer: "Dragon blood, and the blood of the Dragon King at that."

Upon hearing this, Herzog's expression instantly turned serious.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at the briefcase, as if trying to see the precious liquid inside.

The Dragon King's blood was undoubtedly a tremendous temptation for him at this moment.

His eyes were filled with greed as he looked at the box.

But he was shrewd and calculating, and quickly regained his composure.

"How can you prove it's true?" he questioned.

The masked man seemed to have been prepared; he opened his briefcase and revealed a bottle of red liquid.

The liquid emitted a faint glow, as if it contained boundless power.

"This is the evidence," the masked man said.

Herzog was silent for a moment, but ultimately accepted the condition.
