The two remained silent until they reached the office.

"Now you can talk, right?" Yuan Zhisheng looked at him, knowing that if Lin Yu didn't give him a good explanation, he wouldn't be polite.

"Wait a minute," Lin Yu said calmly, "Let me confirm first."

Lin Yu was completely unconcerned about Genjiro's actions. Firstly, Genjiro couldn't beat him, and secondly, he wasn't there to fight.

Then, Lin Yu opened the briefcase containing a detector.

After gesturing to Yuan Zhisheng to be quiet, Lin Yu began to walk around the room with the detector.

At first, Genjiro didn't take it seriously, and was even angry.

But then, the detector in Lin Yu's hand beeped as a hand reached behind the bookshelf, and a listening device appeared in Lin Yu's hand.

Afterwards, Lin Yu kept finding listening devices in flower pots, under tables, and in corners of walls.

Genjiro's face grew increasingly dark.

After checking them all, a total of 16 listening devices were found.

Genjiro finds the thought terrifying. Does that mean his whereabouts have always been under someone else's control?

But who has the capability to install so many listening devices in his office?

Wait, it seems only he has this ability.

But Genjiro refused to believe it.

"Now we can talk," Lin Yu said, plopping down in a chair. "This spot of yours isn't good either! It's completely exposed to everyone's eyes."

"What do you want to say?" Genji asked, his voice trembling slightly, afraid to hear the answer he had just thought of.

"Tsk tsk, even now, you still refuse to believe it?"

Lin Yu said, then took a ring out of his pocket and placed it in front of Genjiro.

Upon closer inspection, Genji's pupils constricted sharply. It was the ring of the patriarch of the Snake Clan, symbolizing his status as the head of the Snake Clan.

"Where did you get this ring?" Genji asked.

"Of course it's in the hands of the previous patriarch!" Lin Yu said.

He got the ring from Uesugi Koshino before he came.

"Is the previous patriarch still alive? Where is he?"

Genji grabbed Lin Yu's shoulder and asked...

"You'll find out later," Lin Yu said, keeping everyone in suspense. "Let's talk about the current problem first!"

"Let me tell you a secret: the patriarch you've always respected, Tachibana Masamune, is actually the King General of the Demon Clan!"

Chapter 44 Genjiro's Suspicion

"You already had some doubts about Tachibana Masamune, didn't you?" Lin Yu stared intently at Genjiro, speaking calmly.

"Why? And... how did you know?" Yuan Zhisheng's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment and anger as he loudly questioned Lin Yu.

"How I know this isn't important; what's important is how you plan to face this fact," Lin Yu retorted without backing down.

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible... You must be lying to me, trying to sow discord between us, right? The patriarch's contributions to the family are undeniable; there must be some misunderstanding." Genji still couldn't accept this cruel reality, his voice filled with despair and resentment.

After all, it's hard for anyone to accept the fact that someone they've trusted for over a decade is actually a fraud.

"What good would it do me to sow discord between you?" Lin Yu said with a cold smile and disdain.

Upon hearing this, Genjiro seemed to have all his strength drained away. He slumped into a chair, burying his face in his hands, lost in thought.

"Face reality. You have to admit that clinging to wishful thinking will only harm you and the entire Serpent Clan," Lin Yu earnestly advised, then turned and left.

At this moment, what Genjiro needs most is time to calmly reflect and process these shocking truths.

I believe he can figure it out.

After Lin Yu left, Yuan Zhisheng fell into deep thought.

Yes!

When did the Ghost Clan grow in size? Deadpool also started to increase in number around the time these two appeared.

Thinking about it carefully now, Tachibana Masamune of the Hebiki Hachike appeared around the same time as the King of the Oni Clan, and the things they did were quite similar.

The difference is that the king claims to complete the path of evolution through "gods," while Tachibana Masamune aims to kill "gods."

Unsurprisingly, their ultimate goal is to find "God".

Considering Tachibana Masamune's usual attitude towards the Demon Clan and their battles, it seems he has never truly inflicted serious damage on them.

Ultimately, Genjiro had to accept this cruel reality.

After figuring it out, Genjiro's eyes gradually hardened.

He decided to remain inactive for the time being, secretly investigating Tachibana Masamune and gathering evidence. At the same time, he began to reorganize the Hebi family and cultivate his own loyal followers.

He agreed with Lin Yu's last sentence: no matter what, he needed to make plans as soon as possible.

For the sake of the Snake Clan, and for the sake of justice in our hearts!

"Somebody come!"

Genji shouted

The crow and cherry blossom guarding the door opened the door and came in instantly.

"Boss, what's up?" Crow asked.

"What has the patriarch been up to lately?" Genji asked, looking at the two of them.

No matter who betrays him, the person in front of him will never betray him.

Because it was he who gave them status, allowing them to be where they are today.

Before they became his retainers, Crow and Yaksha were thugs who collected protection money, while Sakura was wiping weapons in a corner of the armory.

Do you still remember the scene when they met?

At that time, he had just been confirmed as the young master of the Snake Clan, and was full of youthful vigor and ambition.

When I went to the family armory again, I overheard Crow and Yaksha pointing at Sakura and whispering to each other.

"See that girl? I heard her family brought her back from Afghanistan. She'll do anything for you if you just give her a bite to eat."

He, the "young master," overheard this and, as he passed by them, deliberately bumped into them with his shoulder.

As a "friend of justice," he wanted to help this poor girl.

And so, Sakura became the pretty girl he used to "show off" under his command, while Crow and Yaksha became his retainers.

Returning to reality,

The crow looked at Genji with surprise, not understanding why he was asking about the patriarch, but still answered, "The patriarch has been worried about finding Erii lately, often staying in the office or leading people to search."

"Keep a close eye on the patriarch; I need to know where he's gone," Genji said solemnly.

At that moment, Crow and Sakura felt that their young master had been possessed. It should be noted that Genjiro had always held Tachibana Masamune in high esteem.

"Hurry up and go!"

Genji knew what the crow was thinking, but he made no attempt to explain.

How do you explain this? Does it mean that Tachibana Masamune is an imposter? And that he wants to destroy the Hebi-Hachi family?

If this were to get out, not only would a crow have some intelligence, but even a yaksha whose mind is only focused on killing wouldn't believe it.

Of course, Genji was confident that even if the three of them didn't believe him, his mission would be executed perfectly by them.

The moment those three agreed to become retainers, they were already bound to him.

Chapter 45 Herzog's Test

the other side,

underground laboratory in the slum

Herzog suddenly discovered that all the listening devices he used to monitor Genji had lost their signal.

"What's going on? Did he find out?"

Herzog pondered for a moment, and finally decided to send a shadow warrior disguised as Tachibana Masamune to test Genjiro.

His words of power are unique; he can hypnotize and remotely control others.

"Soon, soon, I'll find the place of 'God,' and no one can stop me from ascending the throne."

Herzog laughed loudly and maniacally.

The sound echoed in the laboratory for a long time.

That night,

Genjiro received a call from Tachibana Masamune.

After a slight hesitation, Genji pressed the answer button.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Genjiro asked as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, but the momentary hesitation and his tone still alerted the cunning Herzog.

"Are you feeling unwell, Chisei?" the other person, "Tachibana Masamune," asked with concern.

It must be said that Herzog is a true professional when it comes to acting; even the Oscars would have to give him an award.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired lately. We still haven't found Erii."

Genjiro immediately came up with an excuse.

"Is something wrong? Then you should take care of yourself!" said "Tachibana Masamune" on the other end.

Now that Herzog possessed the blood of the Bronze and Fire Dragon Kings, he was no longer in a hurry for Erii.

He only needs a filtration machine now, and either Genjiro or Genjiro can handle this "glorious" job.

These two only need to keep an eye on one of them; in Herzog's view, this is an absolute stroke of luck.
