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

Tang Yu pulled the handbrake, turned off the car, and then walked to the door to help Erii out of the car. He looked at the men in black who had surrounded him at some point, and his face was somewhat gloomy.

"Is this the attitude of the Snake Clan when they invite people?"

“Tang-san, these are just our necessary security measures. You know, there’s always some danger in our line of work.” Sakura calmly walked to Tang Yu’s side. “Ms. Erii, we should go home.”

On one side is her newly made good friend, and on the other side is Sakura, who has served her for many years and is like family... Erii was torn for a moment.

Tang Yu patted Erii's head gently and said softly, "Eri, you go with her for now. I'll come see you again next time. Don't worry, I won't forget our promise..."

Erii held Sakura's hand and walked forward for a while, then suddenly turned back. Her little face was serious as she took an orange rubber duck out of the pocket of her shrine maiden outfit and stuffed it into Tang Yu's hand.

The words written on it in crooked handwriting read: "Ayu & Erii's Duck Mr."...

For the lonely little monster, this orange rubber duck might be the last warmth she would find in that cold room.

After handing Mr. Duck to Tang Yu, Erii turned around again and followed Sakura's footsteps. She held Sakura's hand like a child, her eyebrows and eyes drooping.

Watching Erii's departing figure, Tang Yu felt a deep loneliness. He carefully put "Mr. Duck" into the bottom of his pocket, then casually grabbed a man in black.

"Let's go, take me to your young master! And what kind of host is he, leaving his guests here like this?" Tang Yu muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Faced with Tang Yu, this unwelcome guest who appeared out of nowhere, the man in black who was being dragged by him dared not utter a word of anger.

The man in black also tried to break free from Tang Yu's control, but unsurprisingly, he failed!

The seemingly immature boy before them was like a monster, his thin body concealing terrifying power! No matter how hard the man in black tried, Tang Yu's expression remained unchanged.

The force exerted by the man in black was like waves crashing against rocks; the waves shattered, while the rocks remained unmoved...

Led by the man in black, Tang Yu passed through layers of security checks and arrived at the twenty-first floor of Genji Heavy Industries.

Normally, this place is not open to the public and is used only as the office of the Executive Bureau Chief, Genjiro. However, it can also be used as a meeting room if necessary.

As soon as the office door was opened, an incomparably sharp aura emanated from Yuan Zhisheng, who had his back to Tang Yu.

This is meant to give Tang Yu a taste of his power!

Tang Yu scoffed, "Everyone says that the Japanese have the most hospitable hospitality in the world, but it seems they're nothing special..."

Genji suddenly sat down in the boss's chair, the samurai sword called "Spider Cutter" resting quietly at his feet. Golden light flashed in Genji's pupils as he stared straight at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu was equally unyielding, activating his Golden Eyes to meet his gaze...

After a long while, Yuan Zhisheng smiled. He turned off his golden eyes, looked at Tang Yu with interest, and said softly in broken Chinese.

"Kassel College Class of 2011: Tang Yu. A-level bloodline, Word of Power: Smurf, previously participated in the Kuimen Project... Am I right?"

“That’s all right.” Tang Yu nodded. “I’ve heard that the Japanese branch has a supercomputer just like Norma’s, I think it’s called Kaguya-hime? My data isn’t very secure. With the Japanese branch’s resources, they can easily find my data if they pay close attention.” Tang Yu was very calm, as if the data wasn’t his own.

"Since you know our power is terrifying, then tell me... what is your purpose in coming here, and what exactly are you trying to achieve by contacting Erii!"

"Just these two questions? I thought you would ask more."

"I only care about these two!"

"It seems you can be considered a competent older brother. However, before answering your question, could you please have your men bring my bag up?"

"A bag?" Genjiro paused for a moment, then quickly regained his usual calm and pressed a button on the table without expression.

A moment later, a man in black pushed open the door and walked in.

"Go and get something for our guest."

The man in black accepted the order, bowed, and left Genji's office.

After the man in black left, only two people remained in the office. Tang Yu casually sat down in the chair in front of Genji's desk, looking at Genji across the desk.

He was observing Genjiro!

At first glance, the man seemed somewhat gloomy, but upon closer inspection, Genjiro actually had a handsome and refined face, and between his eyebrows, one could vaguely see some features similar to those of Uesugi Kotsugi.

Genjiro's temperament is also outstanding.

As the head of the execution bureau of the Snake Clan, Genjiro has been walking on the edge of death for many years. Countless brushes with death have given him an indescribable and enigmatic aura...

While Tang Yu was observing Genjiro, Genjiro, who was sitting in a chair, was also observing Tang Yu.

In Yuan Zhisheng's perception, the boy in front of him named "Tang Yu" had a mature air about him.

Looking at Tang Yu's profile, this guy just turned 17! It's a bit strange that this kind of aura appears in a minor boy…

Especially Tang Yu's eyes, which seemed to see through everything!

“He seems to know everything.” Genji was somewhat shocked.

Time passed second by second, and the two had been gazing at each other with "bromance" for five minutes!

During those agonizing five minutes, they had nothing but eyes for each other...

Yuan Zhisheng felt that if that damned man in black didn't bring the bag up soon, he was about to develop feelings for Tang Yu across from him!

dong dong...

A knock sounded on the door, and the two people who were looking at each other simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.

"Come in quickly," Genji said, frowning.

The door opened gently, and the man in black who had just left walked in carrying a large bag.

He placed the bag on the desk, then walked over to Genjiro and whispered, "Chief, there's a knife in the bag! It looks like an alchemical weapon. Please be careful."

86 Secrets

"I understand, you may leave now." Yuan Zhisheng's expression remained very calm as he quietly dismissed the man in black.

Once the man in black had left and the office was quiet again, Genjiro finally spoke.

"The bag has been delivered to you. Now... can you tell me what's going on?"

Unexpectedly, Tang Yu, who was sitting opposite Yuan Zhisheng, did not speak. He simply shook his head, then stood up and took out a device from his bag that looked like it could easily explode.

Just as Yuan Zhisheng was about to say something, Tang Yu put his finger to his lips and made a "shh" gesture, signaling him to be quiet for a while.

Although Genjiro didn't know what Tang Yu was up to, he still did as he was told! Because he wasn't afraid of any schemes or tricks, Genjiro was absolutely confident that no matter what Tang Yu did in this high-rise building of Genji Heavy Industries, he wouldn't be able to cause too much trouble!

Under Yuan Zhisheng's suspicious gaze, Tang Yu took the strange device and began to wander around every corner of the room.

"Buzz..."

As the device swept over a large potted plant, it suddenly began to vibrate. Tang Yu smiled, put down the device, and reached into the flowerpot for a moment.

Snapped……

Tang Yu threw a black device the size of a button on the ground. The moment Yuan Zhisheng saw the device, his calm expression suddenly turned gloomy.

Having been involved in the underworld for many years, he certainly knew what that was.

A bugging device!!

And judging by its appearance, it's a high-end, beautifully made domestic product.

Yuan Zhisheng wanted to speak, but seeing Tang Yu's serious expression, he held back.

More than half an hour passed, and Tang Yu had scanned the entire office. The result was unbelievable to Yuan Zhisheng. He looked at the more than sixty listening devices neatly arranged on the table, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

This is the office of the young master of the Snake Clan, and yet so many listening devices have been installed without anyone noticing! If the person who installed the listening devices had malicious intent and replaced them with bombs... then by now, Genjiro's ashes would have been cold for a long time!

"Let's add another insurance policy."

Tang Yu wasn't sure if he had found all the listening devices, so he cautiously activated the signal jammer.

Both being explosive products produced by the Equipment Department, aside from the drawback of being "easy to explode," their shielding effect is excellent.

After making thorough preparations to ensure that Herzog could not monitor this area, Tang Yu became serious.

"Alright, Mr. Yuan, now we can discuss this in detail!"

"Let me answer your question first. I came to Japan to accomplish something, which was purely my personal decision and had little to do with the main campus of Kassel College! At most, I received some equipment from the Equipment Department..."

"As for why I approached Erii..." Tang Yu paused, "I can only say it was an accident! You seem a little skeptical, but to be honest, I'm a little skeptical myself. To meet Erii in such a big city as Tokyo is just too much of a coincidence!" Tang Yu said to himself.

"Oh, right, I'll show you something. After you see it, our conversation might go more smoothly."

Tang Yu took out the ring that Uesugi Echizen had given him a few days ago from his pocket and then showed it to Genji.

The moment he saw the ring, Genji's calm vanished, replaced by utter shock.

Genji also has an identical ring... except that his was reforged in recent decades, and the original one was lost long ago!

This ring represents the identity of the head of the Snake Clan, the "Shadow Emperor," and the eight snake heads on the ring face, representing the Snake Clan, cannot be faked.

Now that Tang Yu has taken out this ring, it means that he had contact with the previous Shadow Emperor. Yuan Zhisheng still remembers that the patriarch once told him that the previous Shadow Emperor had disappeared for several decades after a massacre.

"Where did you get this ring?" Yuan Zhisheng asked somewhat eagerly.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's get down to business first!" Tang Yu said with a serious expression. "Be careful of Tachibana Masamune! He's the head of the Snake Clan, the King General of the Demon Clan, and the Ghost of Black Swan Port... To sum it up, he's an incredibly intelligent, utterly wicked, and utterly cunning scoundrel!"

"You're challenging the bottom line of the Snake-Headed Eight Families!" Genjiro slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "For so many years, the patriarch has been diligent and conscientious for the Snake-Headed Eight Families. You're calling him a traitor... do you think I'd believe that?"

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you, whether I tell you or not is up to me." Tang Yu glanced calmly at the somewhat distraught Yuan Zhisheng. "I think you probably already have some guesses in your heart, such as the listening device here, and your younger brother Yuan Zhinu from back then..."

Upon hearing the familiar name Genjiro, Genjiro was stunned for a long time, as if struck by lightning. During his stunned period, Tang Yu continued speaking.

"Aren't you curious? Why did your brother suddenly change his personality back then? In your memory, he should have been a good kid."

"Do you know why?!" Yuan Zhisheng grabbed Tang Yu's arm, his expression somewhat ferocious.

The death of his younger brother, Genjiro, remained a deep-seated sorrow for Genji. Every night, when he had nightmares, he would dream of Genjiro, the loved one he had killed, crawling out of the well covered in blood, her hoarse voice demanding why he had died…

Genjiro has been having nightmares like this for several years.

It took Genjiro a long time to barely accept the fact that "his younger brother is a serial killer," but now someone suddenly appears and tells him that his brother's drastic change in personality is not accidental, but that a bastard is manipulating everything. How could Genjiro possibly remain calm?

After Yuan Zhisheng calmed down for a while, Tang Yu spoke again and told Yuan Zhisheng the truth about what happened back then.

"Do you remember Tachibana Masamune? That old guy had contact with you and your brother when you were very young! Do you know why?" Tang Yu looked at Genjiro with a meaningful gaze.

"Because... in his eyes, you are just tools he created! Whether it's you, your brother, or Erii, you are all test-tube babies created by that bastard!"

"When you first joined the Executive Bureau, that bastard performed a pontomedullary splitting surgery on your younger brother, Yuan Zhinü. You can look up what a pontomedullary splitting surgery is... After the surgery, your brother developed schizophrenia."

"Herzog, using the alias Tachibana Masamune, can control your brother's mind with a certain clapper sound, and all the evil deeds committed by Minamoto no Wakana are because of Herzog!"
