Dragon Raja: I started out as Erii's older brother

"Then... what do we do?"

"snort--!"

The immature teenager sneered and said.

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. It seems that conventional methods are no longer suitable for dealing with such an unfathomable enemy."

"The only way to break this deadlock is to attack his weakness!"

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and the image of the quiet, porcelain-doll-like red-haired girl who followed Su Mo into his mind came to mind.

"That younger sister is his Achilles' heel!"

. . .

The next day, the weather was fine and sunny.

Su Mo was taking Erii for a walk in the courtyard to help her digest her food.

"Come on, Erii, repeat after me, 'I'm cracked.'"

Su Mo tirelessly teaches modern internet slang.

Erii tilted her head, looked at him, and then silently typed on her phone, "Brother, it's cracked, do you need glue?"

"..."

"Never mind, let's talk about something else."

Su Mo felt like she was an idiot.

Just then, a figure appeared at the end of the path by chance.

The newcomer was none other than that immature teenager from yesterday.

He changed his outfit today, wearing a white casual suit without a tie, and the top two buttons were undone.

He still wore what he considered to be his gentlest and warmest smile.

He was also carrying a beautifully packaged gift box.

"Uesugi-senpai, what a coincidence, we meet again."

He walked slowly, each step meticulously calculated to ensure he appeared as a harmless, artistic young nobleman.

Su Mo smiled as soon as she saw him.

"Hey, kidney deficiency... oh no, bro, what's this... your back's better?"

The boy's smile froze for a second, but he immediately returned to normal.

He told himself that this was a psychological attack and he couldn't fall for it!

He turned his gaze to Erii, gently knelt down, and handed her the beautiful gift box.

"Nice to meet you, a small gift for the lovely lady."

The gift box is Tiffany blue with a hand-stitched champagne-colored silk bow, giving it a very luxurious feel.

He sneered inwardly, muttering to himself.

Come, accept this piece of chocolate infused with a faint trace of spiritual power!

[If you eat this, I can see into your heart and find your brother's weakness!]

Erii looked at the pretty box, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes, and was about to reach out to take it.

"stop!"

A loud shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

Su Mo rushed over in one stride, his face ashen, his eyes sharp as if he wanted to kill.

"Snapped!"

He slapped the exquisite gift box away from the teenager's hand, not at the immature boy!

The gift box traced a graceful parabola in the air before falling to the ground, scattering its chocolates everywhere.

The immature teenager was dumbfounded.

Erii was stunned.

The bodyguards who were pretending to trim the flowers and plants were also completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

[A sneak attack?]

Poisoning?

The chuunibyou boy felt a chill run down his spine, countless thoughts flashing through his mind as he tried to guess the possible flaws.

Did he see through my plan?

[Impossible! My Words of Power are colorless, odorless, formless, and intangible!]

Just as everyone was in shock, Su Mo pointed at his nose and began a barrage of attacks.

"You! You're absolutely inhuman! You're utterly depraved!"

Su Mo was so angry that she trembled all over, pointing at the chocolate on the ground.

"I knew something was off! The packaging looks high-end, but the way the bow is tied is a 'dead knot'!"

"Real high-end luxury brands use 'slip-knots'! They're convenient for customers to open!"

He picked up a piece of chocolate, smelled it, and showed an expression of extreme disgust.

"There's no cocoa aroma! It just smells cloyingly sweet like artificial flavoring!"

"Look at this cross-section, it's completely dull and has a rough texture! This is cocoa butter substitute! Cocoa butter substitute!"

The chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) boy, "???"

[Cocoa butter substitute? What's that? Is it the name of some ancient dragon king?]

Su Mo became more and more excited as she spoke, like a fighter defending food safety.

Did you know that cocoa butter substitutes contain large amounts of trans fatty acids? Eating them can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease!

"You're feeding this to such a young child? Where's your conscience? Where's your morality?"

"I suspect you're not here to deliver a gift; you're here to launch a biological attack!"

His righteous and eloquent speech sounded to Erii and the bodyguards around him like a heroic act of selfless protection.

He saw through the enemy's "poison" and stood up to protect his sister!

The bodyguards looked at Su Mo's retreating figure with admiration in their eyes.

"Wow, amazing... Lord Uesugi is not only incredibly powerful, but he's also an expert in toxicology!"

"Look how logically he analyzes things. I don't understand a single word, but he seems very professional!"

Erii looked up at her brother's back, which seemed exceptionally tall because of his anger, and silently reached out her small hand to tightly grasp the hem of his clothes.

The chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) boy was completely petrified.

His brain was racing, trying to understand the current situation.

Trans fats? Cardiovascular disease?

What kind of code is this?

Could it be... a genetic weapon that targets only those with dragon bloodlines and is transmitted through food?

Is "cocoa butter substitute" its code name?

He once again imagined a massive conspiracy that would affect the entire dragon world.

And the man in front of us is the lonely guardian standing on the front line, fighting against this conspiracy!

Looking at Su Mo's furious expression, as if she were "fighting for food safety," and then at the pile of "poison" he had bought at great expense on the ground, his worldview collapsed, shattered, and was crushed into powder once again.

"I...I was wrong..."

He left those words behind, turned away dejectedly, and fled in panic.

He felt he needed to reassess the world.

Su Mo watched his retreating figure and shouted again, still feeling aggrieved.

"If you dare bring this kind of garbage again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

He then turned around with satisfaction, patted Erii's head, and looked serious.

"Remember this, Erii, you absolutely mustn't touch this junk food. Come on, I'll take you to try real GODIVA, and I'll show you what real chocolate is!"

However, as soon as he took a step, an old butler dressed in a black kimono with a cold expression appeared before them like a ghost, followed by two tall enforcers.

The old butler bowed deeply to Su Mo.

"Uesugi-sama."

His voice was devoid of any warmth.

"You assaulted a visitor in public, and your words and actions were vulgar, which seriously damaged the reputation of the Snake-Headed Eight Family."

"According to family rules, the elders have decided that you must go to the 'Hall of Tranquility'... and copy the ancestral precepts one hundred times."
