He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

Finger, who went to Beijing for tourism, has not yet returned. It is foreseeable that the next month or so of his vacation will be very uneventful.

"Should I go on a trip too?" Tang Yu rubbed his chin, his eyes thoughtful.

Actually, Tang Yu had originally planned to go back to the academy with Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang. If he went back with them, he might be able to see the dream girl of countless people in their past lives, Little Dragon Girl, one of the twins on the throne of the earth and mountains, at the Chicago train station.

But then I thought, maybe it's best to leave Xia Mi, this little dragon girl, to my expressionless senior brother! If Tang Yu's interference ruins their relationship, that would be a disaster...

"I've decided, I'm going on a trip! As for the love-hate relationship between my expressionless senior brother and Little Dragon Girl... well, as long as I get back before their decisive battle in Nibelungen, that's fine." Tang Yu thought to himself.

He skillfully took out his phone and opened Google Earth. As a small-time tycoon with a net worth of tens of millions, Tang Yu had already chosen where to go for the rest of his vacation!

Destination: Japan, the holy land for anime and manga lovers!

Tang Yu was decisive and acted without hesitation.

After spending more than a day getting her visa and going through a series of formalities, Tang Yu finally boarded an international flight with a happy heart.

As for Fingel, Tang Yu left him a note at home, telling him where he was going. Moreover, the family had enough food reserves; even if Tang Yu didn't return for a month, Fingel shouldn't starve.

Probably...

Sitting by the window of the plane, Tang Yu rested his chin on his hand, gazing intently at the clouds below that rolled like ocean waves, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Let's make a plan first." After admiring the scenery for a long time, Tang Yu began to get down to business.

Since it's such a rare trip to Japan, there are some things I absolutely have to do! To that end, Tang Yu even made a special list, which he called the "Must-Do List in Japan"!

The top priority on the "must-do list" is to find out all the secrets of that cunning Herzog without revealing my identity!

There's a saying from my past life: "Team fights can be lost, but Herzog must die!!"

After completing this task, Tang Yu wanted to go see that lonely little monster.

Although the little monster is firmly protected by Genji in the Genji Heavy Industries building, it's unlikely that Tang Yu will see it. But what if he does? Seeing it would be a bonus!

Cute little monster, soft and cuddly little monster, beautiful little monster...

Before I knew it, the to-do list had grown quite long. Apart from a few important things related to the "Snake-Headed Eight Families", the rest were trivial things like "going to a concert", "going shopping in Akihabara", and "buying some indescribable DVDs".

Leaning back in his chair, Tang Yu yawned slightly, a wave of drowsiness washed over him, and he drifted off to sleep.

No, it can't be said that he fell asleep; he was simply pulled into the mental space by Iskar.

76 The uncle selling oden

"Tell me, what's the reason for bringing me in this time?" Tang Yu looked at the little dragon rolling around in front of him, his eyes revealing deep helplessness.

Over the course of their time together, Tang Yu had pretty much figured out Iska's pattern of seeking him out!

Unless it's something extremely important, Iska would never proactively seek out Tang Yu! But the fact that he directly dragged Tang Yu into this situation, like this time, means that something incredibly important must have happened.

As expected, Iska did not disappoint Tang Yu.

The dragon's expression was serious (heaven knows how Tang Yu could tell a dragon's expression was serious), and its voice was more solemn than ever before, with a slight hint of anger.

"Hey, are you out of your mind? You almost got killed by Odin a few days ago, and now you're courting death in this godforsaken place? Are you bored out of your mind? This is the burial ground of that old bastard White King. Even though he's been reduced to ashes by Black King, who knows if he left any tricks up his sleeve here?"

Iska took a deep breath, then continued, "These are all secondary issues. The most important thing is that the hybrids here have been corrupted by the White Emperor! A tyrannical dragon's blood flows in their veins. This unstable bloodline makes them extremely vulnerable to becoming death servants, but it also grants them power beyond that of ordinary hybrids. Are you just going to walk right over there like that, trying to get yourself killed...?"

Iska rambled on and on, but the core message was simply to get Tang Yu to change his mind and go back to his doghouse.

But how could Tang Yu easily change his plans?

Back in his previous life, Tang Yu had hated Herzog, that old scoundrel, with a passion. Now that he finally had the chance to grind that bastard to dust, how could he possibly back down?

"I will protect my Erii!" A surge of heroic spirit welled up in Tang Yu's heart. He felt as great as a hero saving the world...

Seeing Tang Yu's face change like a Sichuan opera mask, Iska put the dragon claw to her eyes, looking as if she couldn't bear to look at him.

He knew perfectly well that all his efforts, no matter how much he pleaded, had been in vain.

……

Modern technology is truly advanced; the speed of international flights is no joke! In the blink of an eye, you've already traversed thousands of miles.

When Tang Yu opened his eyes again, the flight had already landed at Tokyo International Airport.

"Coo coo~~"

"Is it already past 8 p.m. in Tokyo?" Tang Yu looked at the darkening sky and rubbed his stomach in exasperation.

He'd only drunk a little water since boarding the plane, and hadn't eaten a single grain of rice! The swill on the plane was practically inedible; after being starved for over ten hours, Tang Yu felt like he could eat a whole cow right now.

"Let's find a place to fill our stomachs first. We're in an unfamiliar area, it won't be easy to find one!"

Tokyo at 8 pm was still very bustling. The colorful neon lights shone on the ground, and because it had just rained, it looked like another world.

"It smells so good! What kind of devil is tempting my appetite!" Tang Yu, who was looking for food, suddenly smelled an enticing aroma. Stimulated by the aroma, his mouth started to drool, and his two long legs started moving on their own.

Following the enticing aroma, Tang Yu easily found a small cart-style mobile stall.

Watching the vendor scoop up skewer after skewer of tempting oden, then skillfully pack them up and hand them to customers, Tang Yu finally couldn't resist.

He took out the "simultaneous translation device" he had obtained from the equipment department from his bag, and then put the earphones into his ears.

When you're in a foreign country, the most important thing is to ensure that you can speak the language!

"Hello, uncle!" Tang Yu said tentatively into the microphone, and a moment later, the Japanese pronunciation of the sentence came through the simultaneous translation device.

The translator's stiff, mechanical voice successfully caught the attention of the stall owner, who looked up from his busy work. He looked at the black-haired, black-eyed young man in front of him and asked softly in Japanese.

"Hello, customer, would you like some oden? We also have wagashi (Japanese sweets), plum rice balls, and tamago teriyaki (Japanese omelet)..."

As the uncle rattled off a long list of Japanese dishes, Tang Yu felt his mouth water and his wallet began to throb with desire.

"Snapped!"

Tang Yu took out a few "Fukuzawa Yuki" bills from his wallet and placed them on the stall, then said, "Uncle! I'm a tourist visiting Japan. Please give me whatever you think is delicious."

The stall owner nodded, reached into the stainless steel soup bowl and scooped out a few skewers of oden. The broth, exuding the unique aroma of spices, dripped from the oden, and Tang Yu couldn't help but swallow.

Similar to the aroma of the food, the taste was also unexpectedly delicious! Tang Yu sat alone next to the stall cart, enjoying his meal immensely.

Time ticked by, and the electronic clock in the department store on the street chimed crisply, showing that it was already 10 p.m.

Meanwhile, the weather gradually darkened, and dark clouds obscured the bright moon, adding an eerie touch to the desolate night.

"Hiccup~~"

Sitting on a small wooden stool, Tang Yu held his stomach and let out a satisfied burp.

"This meal was really satisfying!" Tang Yu sighed inexplicably. The thought of having to eat pork knuckles at the academy for another four or five months after school started made him feel like his life was going to be bleak!

Tang Yu sighed. Behind him, the stall owner had already started packing up his stall with practiced ease.

Normally, the uncle closes his stall at nine o'clock, but seeing how happy this young man was eating today, he couldn't help but extend his business hours a bit.

After all, the diners' affirmation is the greatest praise for a chef! No one dislikes being praised.

Tang Yu was walking around next to the car, digesting his food, when the stall owner suddenly spoke up: "Young man, I see you're a tourist from abroad. It's this late, most hotels are almost closed. If you don't mind, why don't you stay at my place for the night?"

"How could I possibly mind! I should thank you for your help!" Tang Yu was somewhat flattered. He wanted to decline the uncle's kindness, but then he thought about it and realized that the uncle was right!

There really aren't any suitable hotels at this time of day, so why not stay at the uncle's house for the night? We can just pay for the accommodation if necessary.

As for the uncle possibly being a bad guy who wanted to rob someone or something... Tang Yu said he wasn't worried at all!

Want to know about hybrids with explosive combat power?

……

The nights in Japan are full of undercurrents.

Under the cover of darkness, the dark side of society—the yakuza, also begins to emerge and operate.

------------

77 petty thugs came looking for trouble.

This kind of shady profession, which is condemned by everyone in other countries, is legal in the bizarre country of Japan!

Daytime belongs to civilized society... but nighttime belongs to the shadows of society—the underworld.

At night, most street corners and alleys become extremely unsafe, with gangster extortion, blackmail, kidnapping, and vendettas rampant.

The main branch of the Yakuza, the "Snake Clan," which Tang Yu knew well, would not do such a disgraceful thing, but their smaller gangs might be a different story.

……

"You two up there, I'm talking to you! Stop right there!"

In a narrow alley, Tang Yu was helping an uncle push his stall forward when a very arrogant shout suddenly came from behind him.

The shout contained the distinctive trilled "r" sound characteristic of yakuza, and judging from the voice, the owner of the voice was not very old.

Therefore, their identities are obvious... the Guren, a reserve force of the Yakuza organization, composed of underage delinquents.

The uncle pulling the cart slowly stopped in front of him, and Tang Yu, keeping his eyes down and mind at ease, let go of the cart and leaned against the wall.

His gaze pierced through the darkness, looking at the newcomer.

They were a group of underage thugs with earrings, nose rings, and dyed yellow hair.

Normally, Tang Yu would just laugh off these scoundrels, but now that they're wielding steel baseball bats and approaching with ill intent, Tang Yu has no choice but to take action!

Whether in this life or the previous one, Tang Yu is a true Chinese, believing in the principle of "repaying kindness with kindness and repaying injustice with justice."

The stall owner helped him today, so if these clueless thugs want to extort money from the stall owner, they'll have to ask Tang Yu's fists first!

By the colorful glow of the neon lights, Tang Yu could barely make out the clothes under the skin of these thugs. Although they were tattered, he could still make out that they were school uniforms from some school.

"Kids who don't study and instead become thugs...you guys are really something!" Tang Yu's lips twitched slightly, deciding that if he were to make a move later, he would definitely go all out.

Who is the most dangerous person to break the law?

Of course, these are underage delinquents who have received some level of education in school!

Minors receive special treatment everywhere, and these kids who start out in society at a young age understand this very well.

Minors... committing murder without being punished!

Amidst a whirl of thoughts, countless ideas flowed through Tang Yu's mind.

Just then, a few thugs from the foolish company exchanged glances and poked their heads out from the darkness.

The leader was a pale-faced, blond-haired youth with a faint air of arrogance on his face, dark circles under his eyes, and upturned nose. He seemed like the protagonist of a third-rate novel, looking down on everyone.
