I'm in the Dragon Clan, bound to the Naruto Counterattack System

Chapter 130 Inuyama He: This is truly embarrassing!

Seeing the somewhat dazed Mai, Cheng Sui waved to the alluring woman and turned to leave the room.

His movements were casual and decisive, as if it had just been an insignificant chat.

"Wait a moment."

Mai Shude spoke subconsciously, her voice dry and hoarse without her even realizing it.

Cheng Sui stopped, turned back and looked at Jiu De Mai with a puzzled expression: "Is there anything else?"

His expression was calm, revealing no other superfluous emotions.

Mai Shude paused for a moment.

She didn't know why she had inexplicably called out to Cheng Sui.

Perhaps it was because his earth-shattering threat was so terrifying that her mind remains blank to this day.

Or perhaps she was unwilling to accept that everything she had carefully planned and the charm she was so proud of seemed so vulnerable in front of this man.

She, Mai Shude, has always been the center of men's attention, a queen who walks between power and desire, and has never been so completely ignored before.

Looking at Mai Shude, who was standing still with a complex and ever-changing expression, Cheng Sui frowned slightly.

He didn't say anything more, just waved his hand gently as a final farewell, and then continued walking towards the elevator.

The figure showed no lingering attachment, each step taken with unwavering resolve.

As Mai Shude looked at the elevator door that was about to close, and at the man who hadn't lingered on her for even a second longer, a strange anger welled up inside her.

She stomped her foot hard, the custom-made high heels striking the polished marble floor with a crisp sound.

"Long legs, the movement you just made reminded me of a high school girl throwing a tantrum because she didn't receive a love letter from her crush, you know?"

A faint voice came from the shadows in the corner.

Su Enxi appeared next to Jiu De Mai at some point, adjusted her glasses, and her eyes behind the lenses gleamed with anticipation for a good show.

"Shut up!"

Mai glared fiercely at Su Enxi, her chest heaving violently.

She was in a terrible mood, feeling frustrated by the complete failure of her plan, surprised and suspicious of Cheng Sui's mysterious background, and also an anger that she couldn't quite explain.

Too lazy to argue with Su Enxi anymore, she grabbed her handbag from the sofa, stomped off in her high heels, and left angrily.

Su Enxi was left standing alone, watching Jiu Demai's almost hasty retreat, and then looking in the direction Cheng Sui had left. Her expression became more serious than ever before.

"It seems the boss has really messed up this time."

As Su Enxi spoke, she silently popped a potato chip into her mouth.

As Cheng walked out of the Mori Building, the Tokyo afternoon sun was a bit too bright.

Although he appeared calm and collected on the top floor, even threatening Lu Mingze with Lu Mingfei's death, he was far from being at peace inside.

-

Why did Lu Mingze notice me? Could it be that my performance has attracted Lu Mingze's attention?

wrong.

Cheng Sui quickly dismissed the idea.

Perhaps what Lu Mingze cared about was never Cheng Sui, but Erii, who had a mysterious bloodline, who was by his side.

Lu Mingze's plan is to take revenge on the Black King Nidhogg. To this end, he is willing to lay out plans for a thousand years, treating the entire world as a chessboard.

If Erii is one of his pawns, then his escape with Erii is equivalent to taking a crucial pawn from his chessboard. This is the real reason why Lu Mingze came to him.

Just as Cheng Sui was pondering, his cell phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a new email.

The sender's name surprised him slightly; it was Angers.

Cheng opened the email, and a visually striking selfie immediately filled the entire screen.

In the photo, Principal Angers is wearing a brown aviator leather jacket popular in the last century, with the zipper open to reveal a neatly ironed white shirt underneath.

His signature silver hair was meticulously combed back with hair wax, and a pair of black sunglasses were casually placed on his forehead. He looked energetic and spirited, like an ace pilot about to head to the battlefield.

Judging from the background of the photo, he appears to be sitting in the first class of an airliner.

A line of text is attached below the photo.

"Dear Cheng Sui, it's been so long! Have you missed your dear principal? Don't worry, I've already boarded my flight to Tokyo and should arrive early tomorrow morning. I hope this internship experience in Japan will earn me a satisfactory grade on your internship report. —Your forever dear Principal Angers."

Cheng Sui's cheek muscles twitched uncontrollably, and he silently closed the email.

He now finally understood why the main campus of Kassel College had been so slow to respond to Fingel's distress email sent through emergency channels.

At first, Cheng Sui thought that Kaguya-hime of the Snake Clan had intercepted her.

It seems the academy must have received the news long ago, but that old guy Angers deliberately suppressed it and didn't take any action.

His goal was clear: he wanted to throw himself into the lion's den of Japan and see how much of a splash he could make.

That old rascal really isn't afraid of dying in Japan at all.

Cheng Sui silently sighed to himself.

However, Angers' arrival also meant that his thrilling trip to Japan was about to officially come to an end.

But before that, Cheng Sui had a few things to do.

He needs to find out the truth about some things.

Thinking of this, Cheng Sui put away his phone, checked the direction, and walked towards the inconspicuous ramen shop in his memory.

There were some things he wanted to personally test with that mysterious ramen shop owner.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Minamoto clan's heavy industry building, in a quiet Japanese-style room.

Inuyama He sat at one end of the table, his forehead wrapped in thick bandages.

The injury Cheng Sui inflicted on him with a seemingly casual slap at the entrance of Genji Heavy Industries has not yet healed.

That young man's power was terrifying. He didn't use any incantations, just pure physical strength, yet this A-level hybrid still often felt dizzy.

Tachibana Masamune sat opposite Inuyama He, his expressionless face revealing nothing as he calmly refilled the teacups in front of them.

The aroma of tea wafted through the quiet room.

"Has the head of the Uesugi family returned?" Inuyama He picked up his teacup and asked seemingly casually.

"Yes, Chisei has brought her back." Tachibana Masamune replied with a smile, his tone gentle. "You know, Chisei has always been a good and reliable child."

Inuyama He nodded but did not reply.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the gurgling sound of boiling tea remaining.

After a moment, Inuyama He put down his teacup and slowly said, "Angers is coming to Japan. His flight is early tomorrow morning."

Tachibana Masamune's hand holding the teapot paused almost imperceptibly, and his eyelids twitched.

But he quickly regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.

"Where did the Inuyama family head get this information?"

"He sent me an email before boarding," Inuyama He said in a flat tone, revealing no emotion.

"What an arrogant move," Tachibana Masamune commented casually, then changed the subject, "But I didn't expect that you, Inuyama-kun, still have Angers' contact information."

Inuyama He keenly noticed that Tachibana Masamune's way of addressing him had changed from the polite and distant "Head of the Inuyama Family" to "Inuyama-kun," which carried a hint of scrutiny.

However, his facial expression did not change at all.

He was already used to this kind of suspicion.

Tachibana Masamune chuckled softly and continued, "So, Inuyama-kun, what do you think is the purpose of Angers' visit to Japan this time?"

Inuyama He shook his head, his tone still calm: "No one can guess what Angers is up to. Maybe he just had a sudden idea to come to Japan to soak in a hot spring and take a trip."

"Really? Even Inuyama-kun, who was once his most prized student, couldn't guess what he was thinking?"

Inuyama He could sense the probing and suspicion in Tachibana Masamune's words, but he didn't pay it any mind.

The Japanese branch has suspected him of being a spy planted by Angers within the Snake Clan for more than just a year or two.

He looked up to meet Tachibana Masamune's gaze and said calmly, "Perhaps they've come to help Cheng Sui. After all, just a few hours ago, Cheng Sui was Japan's most wanted criminal."

Upon hearing the name Cheng Sui, several black lines appeared on Tachibana Masamune's forehead.

What is the progress of the aid program?

Does that monster who turned the entire Snake Clan upside down and killed three of his own Shadow Dancers really need to be helped?

From this perspective, Angers seems more like they came to aid the entire Japanese branch.

Tachibana Masamune composed himself with his complex emotions and slowly stood up.

"In that case, I'll leave it to Inuyama-kun to take full responsibility for receiving Principal Angers. After all, you are teacher and student, so it's most appropriate for you to handle this."

"Yes." Inuyama Kazuya stood up and bowed slightly to acknowledge the order.

Tachibana Masamune gave Inuyama He a deep, complex look, then turned and left the Japanese-style room without a word.

The sliding door closed gently, leaving Inuyama He alone in the room once again.

He sat down again, raised his hand and gently touched the bandage on his forehead, feeling a sharp pain in the wound.

To meet the teacher with this attitude —

He was injured by the teacher's students.

It's truly embarrassing.

A bitter smile appeared on Inuyama He's face.
