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

Project 116 begins

However, Genjiro quickly concealed this slight awkwardness.

At this moment, Genjiro was wearing a black trench coat and a pair of black sunglasses, with a bulging waist, making him look like a man in black from a certain movie.

However, this guy clearly doesn't have the same swagger as the "Men in Black".

Seeing the team members disembark from the Gulfstream, Genji greeted them with a broad smile. Of course, his main purpose was to welcome Tang Yu; the others were just there as a side trip.

When Tang Yu walked to Yuan Zhisheng's side, the young master of the Extreme Path smiled and gave him a hug.

"We've been waiting for you for so long! My father talks about you every day!" Here, "father" refers to Uesugi Kotsugi, not Tachibana Masamune.

"Let's talk about catching up after we finish our business. As for that matter... is everything ready?" Tang Yu asked seriously.

He was still a tiny bit nervous! Although Tang Yu and Genji had mobilized all available resources and made thorough preparations to deal with Herzog, Tang Yu was still a little unsure.

As an old monster who has survived countless conspiracies for more than a century, how could Herzog not have some unknown backup plan?

Of course, even with a backup plan, it was useless; he still couldn't escape the fate of being sliced ​​into pieces.

"Everything is ready, we're just waiting for you to arrive so we can close the net!" Genji looked into Tang Yu's eyes, his voice more solemn than ever before: "This operation will be foolproof! Everything about that bastard is already under our control! Even if Amaterasu herself came to protect him today, I'm confident I can keep that bastard here!"

"Aren't you Amaterasu no Mikoto? If Amaterasu Omikami were to come, it would be to protect you," Tang Yu joked with a smile.

The conversation between the two left the other guys from Kassel College completely bewildered.

"You...know each other?" Chu Zihang, who usually had a stoic expression, finally spoke.

"I know him," Tang Yu answered Chu Zihang's question. "We can talk about this later. Right now, time is of the essence. Let's do something important first!"

"Big things? I do that all the time!" Caesar said nonchalantly. "Like last winter, I poured over two thousand bottles of beer into the pool at the academy and threw an outdoor beer party. Was that big enough?"

"President Caesar, be serious, I'm not joking!" Tang Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Be serious! Remember, don't be too surprised no matter what you see later. If necessary... we have to lend them a hand!"

Seeing that Tang Yu's serious expression seemed genuine, the others also stopped joking and gradually became serious.

The leader of the Japanese mission team was originally Caesar, but as soon as he saw that Tang Yu had a close relationship with this young master of the extreme sect, he decisively handed over the leadership position to Tang Yu.

In the words of this golden retriever, "The capable should do more."

Tang Yu really couldn't figure out what this idiom had to do with Caesar throwing the captain to him...

……

After a brief welcoming ceremony, Genjiro led the six people from headquarters away from the abandoned airport.

Three black Hummers carrying a group of lunatics were driving on a highway outside Tokyo. The Hummers' paint looked shiny and gleaming, giving off a menacing vibe.

Especially the young man driving the first car, although he looks very handsome, his face is full of the words "I am a bad guy", no wonder he is the young master of the extreme path!

The journey was uneventful. Genjiro and his men had been busy gathering intelligence on Herzog, so the troublemaker Yasha failed to turn the Metropolitan Police Department chief's mistress into a female body sushi and deliver it to his desk. Naturally, there was no helicopter chase.

It took a little over half an hour for the three Hummers to slowly pull up in the Genji Heavy Industries parking lot.

The group's destination was a rather old-fashioned building inside the complex, named "Xingshen Temple".

Although it's called a "temple," it's actually just a room built inside a reinforced concrete building.

Upon learning that the commissioner from headquarters was coming, Tachibana Masamune, the "current" head of the Snake Clan, proposed to host a banquet here to entertain the commissioner from headquarters.

"Let's go in!" Genji's cool voice rang out. In the short time it took for everyone to exchange a few words, he had already changed into a black haori in a small cubicle next to the Awakening Temple.

This rather oversized garment is not everyday wear; it is only worn on certain formal occasions.

In Genjiro's view, today's "Death of Herzog" can be considered a grand event!

The size of the Awakening Temple is not too large, but it is not too small either. With the heads of the Snake Clan and a dozen other families, it is not too crowded to stand in this space.

When Tang Yu and the others arrived, the important figures of the Snake Clan had already taken their seats, with an elderly man with gray hair sitting in the main seat at the head of the table.

The old man had a square face and looked quite kind; this was the current head of the family, Tachibana Masamune. On the low table in front of him, a small red clay stove was radiating heat.

A cast-iron teapot sat on the stove, its shape resembling the tengu from ancient Japanese mythology. The dark teapot glowed a crimson light from the constant heating, making it seem as if the tengu was about to rise from its shell. Combined with the dim lighting of the Akatsuki Temple, the scene appeared exceptionally eerie…

"Chiki. Are these the specialists from headquarters?"

Hearing the door open, Tachibana Masamune, who had been focused on brewing tea, raised his head and asked softly in a calm and even voice.

“Yes, sir, these are the specialists from headquarters!” Genji replied.

"Is that so?" Tachibana Masamune murmured softly. He took a handkerchief from the low table beside him, wiped his hands, and then, holding the teapot handle, poured himself a cup of hot tea with the long nose of a crow tengu.

The pale green tea steamed hot, and the white mist obscured Tachibana Masamune's face, making it impossible to see the old man's expression.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

An indescribable silence filled the space… After a long while, Tachibana Masamune finally spoke softly, “Chisei, are you finally going to make your move?”

Upon hearing Tachibana Masamune's words, most of the people present changed their expressions drastically!

Just kidding, what are you waiting for if you're not surprised? You're trying to do something to someone, but they already know about it beforehand. How are you supposed to play the game then?

Unlike the others' surprise, Kazuyuki's expression remained quite calm.

Tachibana Masamune's behavior at this moment was still within their plan!

It's imperative that Tachibana Masamune finds out!

No matter how well Genjiro tried to keep this a secret, Herzog, using the alias Tachibana Masamune, would definitely be able to detect his plan through some clues.

117 Sakurai Nanami

Seeing the drastic change in everyone's expressions, Tachibana Masamune revealed a smile. His smile remained as gentle as ever, but at this moment, it carried a strange undertone...

"Chisuke, are you really sure these useless guys can kill me?"

"Whether I can kill you or not, we'll only know after we try!" Genji threw his haori on the ground, and beside him, his retainer Yasha pulled out a rectangular box from behind him.

Inside the box, two ancient alchemical swords lay quietly, radiating a sharp, cold light.

Dojigiri Yasutsuna, Kumogiri!

Since we've already broken off relations, there's no need to waste any more words.

Genjiro, gripping his long sword, stepped forward with a murderous look on his face, thrusting the sharp blade straight for Tachibana Masamune's throat.

Despite the potentially fatal attack, Tachibana Masamune seemed oblivious, remaining calmly seated and sipping his tea.

"Bah..."

Just as Genjiro's blade was about to pierce Tachibana Masamune's throat, a gunshot rang out.

Judging from the sound, the gunshots should have come from an unfinished building opposite Genji Heavy Industries.

The bullet struck the longsword in Genji's hand with precision, and the kinetic energy it carried caused him to stagger.

The next second after the gunshot rang out, the iron-gray gate of Xingshen Temple was suddenly violently flung open from the outside, and a group of gloomy-faced men in black, armed with weapons, walked in.

Among this group of people, Genji recognized several familiar faces. Yes, these were members of the Executive Bureau under Genji's command.

As the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune has not been idle over the years! At the very least, he has secretly cultivated many loyal followers within the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

Today's inevitable battle is less a revenge by the Snake Clan against Herzog and more a civil war within the Snake Clan.

Both sides in the standoff were members of the Snake Clan, and even... they had some thin blood ties.

Genjiro's face showed a hint of reluctance at having to kill so many of his own people. But as Amaterasu, he knew that these were necessary sacrifices!

Only after eliminating Herzog, this malignant tumor, can the Snake Clan develop better.

Genjiro raised the Dojigiri Yasutsuna in his hand, pointing it at his former subordinates: "You've followed me for six or seven years, after all. I'll give you a chance. Leave now, and I might spare your lives! Otherwise... die!!!"

Several family heads who had been sitting and drinking tea next to Yuan Zhisheng also stood up. They did not speak, but their actions showed their stance.

"You really think highly of this old fellow! To have alarmed so many family heads, I'm truly flattered!" Tachibana Masamune poured himself another cup of tea, then looked at Genjiro with a smile, showing no sign of nervousness.

"Damn it, what the hell is that old man?" Lu Mingfei muttered under his breath. For some reason, he had a natural aversion to Tachibana Masamune, who was sitting in the main seat.

That feeling... is like seeing a pile of shit on the street.

"Let's prepare for battle too!" Tang Yu took out his weapon "Tianxi Ruibao" from the bag beside him, Chu Zihang had already gripped his "Cunsame" and Caesar's hunting knife "Dick Vido" was always tucked into his belt.

Even Fingel, who usually prefers to slack off, pulled out a standard tactical longsword from the academy and pointed it at Tachibana Masamune.

As for Xia Mi... Little Dragon Girl didn't come in at all; Tang Yu gave her another task.

"What about me? Give me a weapon!" Lu Mingfei roared, sounding somewhat anxious.

It would be a miracle if he wasn't worried! Everyone around him was armed and glaring menacingly at the other side, while he alone was unarmed, looking completely innocent and trying to act cute...

This feeling is absolutely amazing!

In the end, it was the crow beside Genji who couldn't stand it anymore. This seemingly refined scoundrel with black-rimmed glasses pulled out a Glock from his waist and casually tossed it to Lu Mingfei, then turned back to continue warily watching the enemy.

The two sides are locked in a standoff, and a major battle is about to break out!

The first to make a move was Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Sakurai family.

Aside from Erii, who usually acts as a mascot, Sakurai Nanami is the only female head of the Snake Clan who holds real power.

The fact that a woman could rise to the position of head of a yakuza family clearly shows that Sakurai Nanami must be a woman with considerable skill and ability.

Besides her exceptional intelligence, Sakurai Nanami is also incredibly powerful in terms of martial arts. She possesses the powerful and versatile Word of Power, Immortality, which is effective in both offense and defense.

Similar to the Word of Power: Bronze Throne, the Word of Power: Immortality also affects the hybrid's physical body, granting the hybrid powerful defense and terrifying strength.

In close combat, the wielder of the Word of Immortality is basically a tank, slaying gods and demons alike...

With the blessing of the Word of Immortality, Sakurai Nanami, like Vajra King in Buddhist scriptures, traversed among enemies with unparalleled power.

Every strike she makes will bring death!

As Sakurai Nanami began to act, the other family heads also unleashed their Words of Power.

Ryoma Genichiro, the head of the Ryoma family, possesses the Word of Power: Thunder Pool. When the Thunder Pool blooms in the Awakening Temple, terrifying lightning strikes down with lightning speed, turning enemies into unidentified objects that smell like roasted meat.

Miyamoto Shio, the head of the Miyamoto family, possesses the Word of Power "Vortex," which is also a Word of Power in the realm of the King of Ocean and Water. However, this Word of Power is more powerful in terms of attack than Tang Yu's Word of Power "Water Sprite."

Tiny water droplets floated in the air, and under the influence of Miyamoto Shio's words of power, these seemingly harmless droplets instantly transformed into terrifying bombs.

While not enough to be fatal, it still caused considerable trouble for Herzog's loyalists.
