147. Orange-scented

"Mr. Tang Yu, don't attack, it's me!"

The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and it gave off a feeling similar to... the middle-aged Sebastian that Tang Yu had seen at the Blackrock Mansion a couple of days ago!

The lights in the official residence suddenly turned on, and the soft light shining from the chandelier allowed Tang Yu to see the man in front of him clearly.

It was that middle-aged Sebastian.

"Mr. Tang Yu, the master requests your presence!"

Sebastian bowed and made way for Tang Yu, who then removed the long sword from Sebastian's throat and apologized to him.

Following the spacious corridor forward, Sebastian finally led Tang Yu to a quaint wooden door.

"Mr. Tang Yu, please come in! Your mistress is waiting for you inside."

Tang Yu straightened his clothes and then pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Mai, whose face was still a little pale, pressing Chip Girl down on the sofa and feeding her chips...

The potato chip girl kept struggling, while Mai had a strange smile on her face. The atmosphere between the two beauties was, how should I put it... a bit yuri!

"Why don't you guys play first? I'll go out and wait a bit!" Tang Yu asked tentatively.

"Don't get the wrong idea, you bastard!" Chip Girl struggled to break free from Mai's grasp, snatched the bag of chips from Mai's hand, and threw it directly at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu dodged very nimbly.

"You two chat first, I'll go get you some tea." Mai smiled slightly, walked to Tang Yu's side, and thanked him sincerely.

"Mr. Tang Yu, thank you so much for saving my life the other day! If it weren't for you, I might have died at sea!"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it!" Tang Yu said, scratching his head and laughing.

Being thanked by a beautiful woman is a good thing, but being thanked by a beautiful woman with long legs and a slim waist is an even better thing!

Tang Yu has clearly encountered a great opportunity...

……

"I heard you slaughtered the King of the Sky and the Wind, is that true?" The potato chip girl took a sip of the beautifully presented Earl Grey tea in front of her and asked with a gossipy look on her face.

"It took a lot of effort to kill him! Actually, I just picked up a kill myself."

"Don't be modest! The Dragon King's all-out counterattack when he was dying was probably much stronger than when he was at his peak! Anyone who can kill the Dragon King and escape unscathed is a strong person!"

"Alright, say what you want, whatever makes you happy." Although Tang Yu appeared indifferent to these empty titles, he was actually quite pleased with himself.

"By the way, how did I get here?" Tang Yu finally asked the question that concerned him the most.

"It was the boss who brought you back."

"Where is your boss? I'd like to meet him."

"We can't find him anymore! I told you he's the boss, such a big shot should be a bit mysterious... It's perfectly normal for him to be rarely seen, right?" Chip Girl shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, if we can't see him, we can't see him." Tang Yu didn't insist on seeing this mysterious little devil. He then steered the conversation in another direction.

……

In the top-floor attic of the Blackstone Mansion, a woman dressed in a white gauze dress and linen clothes walked in gently carrying a tray.

Two steaming cups of coffee sat on the tray, their rich aroma filling the air. Hmm... the person who ground the coffee must be a skilled veteran!

In the attic, there was a brand-new LCD TV. The little devil and the emotionless girl were plugging in the controllers and fighting together in a game.

"Boss, why don't you go see him?" Mai asked softly as she served coffee to the little devil and the emotionless girl.

"For certain reasons, I can't appear in front of him right now! Ah, you wouldn't understand even if I explained..." The boss answered Mai's question while controlling the character on the screen to dodge the boss's attacks.

Because of that momentary lapse in concentration, the little devil made a slight mistake in his operation. The boss on the screen seized the opportunity and unleashed a series of attacks that knocked the character controlled by the little devil to his knees, unable to get up.

Without the Little Devil as the main damage dealer, the remaining emotionless girl didn't last long either, and her character followed in the footsteps of her boss.

"It crashed again!!! It's crashed more than ten times already!" The boss threw down the controller in a huff. "Are the designers of this game all idiots? The game is so difficult, which player would buy it! There's no gaming experience at all! Mai, later you tell Chip Girl to help me sell all the stocks in my Paradise Games company, so that that Japanese company that makes games with its feet will learn a lesson!"

"Well, looks like Chip Girl is going to have another headache." Mai felt sorry for her best friend.

"Oh right, Mai, get all my things ready! It's been thousands of years... My old friend has come back from the dead! After not seeing him for thousands of years, I should definitely prepare some gifts for him. I hope he will like them!"

The little devil revealed a wicked smile. Seeing this expression, both the emotionless girl and Mai knew that this troublesome boss was about to cause trouble again!

"Since you're dead, you should lie down properly down there. What's the point of getting up again!" the boss suddenly said in a low voice.

At this moment, the little boy in the old-fashioned suit seemed to have truly rediscovered the aura he had when he was the "Supreme One".

He is the will of this world!

……

In another room below the attic, Chip Girl was giving Tang Yu a brief account of the major events that the Snake Clan had accomplished in the past few days.

When Tang Yu heard that Erii had used the ultimate word spirit, Judgment, at sea, his expression instantly turned ugly.

"You mean Erii used her own Word of Power?"

"Yes, that was truly terrifying power!" A hint of fear flashed deep in the potato chip girl's eyes. "That kind of death that felt so real... I'll probably never forget it for the rest of my life!"

"How is her health?" Tang Yu's voice revealed a hint of urgency.

"It's nothing serious, just a few days of rest!" Chip Girl said. "But what you need to worry about right now isn't the Uesugi family head's health, but the Secret Party."

"How did you get involved with the Secret Service again?"

"What do you think!" Potato Chips looked at Tang Yu as if he were an idiot. "That AI at Kassel College is monitoring the Snake Clan's every move. How could those old guys not notice such a big commotion as the Uesugi family head releasing his Word of Power?"

Chip Girl paused, then continued, "To those old guys in the Secret Society's Elder Council, the bloodline and Word of Power abilities that the Uesugi family head displayed at sea are challenging the 'Abrahamic Bloodline Pact'."

"I reckon once the mess with the Snake Clan is cleaned up, the Elders' Council and those old guys will come knocking on Genji's door demanding the person back! As for what those old guys will do... I'm sure you know!"

"They dare!" Tang Yu subconsciously exerted force, and the white bone china teacup instantly shattered into pieces, scattering on the ground.

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

148. A coffin from Cao County and a promise to return my life.

"Hey! You can throw a tantrum all you want, but why are you making things difficult for my teacup?" Chip Girl looked at the broken porcelain on the ground with a pained expression. "This is top-quality European bone china, a set costs several thousand US dollars!"

"A few thousand dollars is fine, I'll just compensate you!" Money talks, and these trivial matters didn't even register in Tang Yu's mind. He was completely preoccupied with Erii's pitiful appearance lying in the hospital bed. "I need to go to the Hebi family now, could you lend me your car?"

"I haven't returned the car I borrowed from you last time..." Chip Girl grumbled unhappily.

Although the housekeeper, Potato Chip Girl, was very reluctant, Tang Yu eventually drove away from the Blackstone Mansion in a Hummer that looked very expensive.

It wasn't that Tang Yu insisted on driving a Hummer; it was just that only such a durable vehicle could navigate the rugged mountain roads. If he used other cars that looked good but were impractical, they would probably break down after only a few kilometers.

Following the unreliable map navigation in the Hummer, Tang Yu traveled smoothly from the Black Stone Mansion to the vicinity of the Genji Heavy Industries building on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Tang Yu parked his car in the parking lot and walked to the two large iron gates of Genji Heavy Industries. Just as he was about to enter, he was politely stopped by two gangsters standing at the door.

"Sir, the Genji Heavy Industries building is closed today, and no one is allowed to enter! Please come back tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu's heart tightened. Something that could cause the yakuza stronghold, Genji Heavy Industries, to seal off the building must be a big deal!

"Brothers, could you tell me what happened inside? I'm a little curious," Tang Yu asked casually.

The two underworld thugs guarding the gate had been bored for a long time. Suddenly, someone came up to them and asked for some unimportant information, so they started talking like chatterboxes.

Brother A: "I heard that a great figure in our family has passed away! The patriarch personally selected a burial site with excellent feng shui for him and also airlifted a top-quality coffin made of golden nanmu wood over."

Brother B: "That's what I heard too! Apparently, that coffin was transported all the way from Cao County in China; it's priceless!"

Brother A: "What was that important person's name again? I think I heard the team leader mention it once."

Brother B: "I think his name is Tang Yu... This name sounds like he's Chinese, but why would the patriarch treat a Chinese person with such courtesy?"

……

Tang Yu had no interest in listening to the rest of the conversation; he felt like his mental state was completely exploding!

Last time, when he was on a mission in the Three Gorges, those guys from Kassel College thought he was dead and even prepared to send him wreaths...

And now... these guys from the Japanese branch are clearly more considerate, they've even prepared a complete funeral service for him!

"Damn it, I'm risking my life up front, and you guys are preparing coffins for me in the back! I'll scare you to death this time!"

After saying goodbye to his two underworld thugs, Tang Yu stealthily made his way to the wall of Genji Heavy Industries.

With his agile skills and the help of the Word of Power: Wind King's Eye, Tang Yu entered the building without much effort.

The thirteenth floor of Genji Heavy Industries is a conference hall, where major events with a large number of attendees are usually held, and Tang Yu's "funeral" was no exception.

Therefore, that's where Tang Yu's target is!

The Genji Heavy Industries building was very deserted today. Tang Yu didn't see many people along the way. He figured they must have all gone to attend his funeral.

Tang Yu is feeling very wronged! To borrow a popular internet meme from his past life, he's about to turn evil!

With each step Tang Yu took forward, the dark resentment on his body deepened. By the time he reached the door of the conference room, the blackness on his body was so thick it was almost overflowing.

Tang Yu was about to push the door open and enter when he changed his mind. He thought that if he went in like this, it might not scare those gangsters who had been around for years.

"We need to find another way!"

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu decided to climb into the ventilation duct.

The Snake Clan truly lives up to their reputation as the Dark Emperors of Japan. These wealthy and powerful individuals even built surprisingly spacious ventilation ducts, allowing Tang Yu, a young man of seventeen or eighteen, to climb freely and unimpeded inside them!

After groping forward in complete darkness for a long time, Tang Yu finally saw a glimmer of light.

Based on the distance crawled, the light-emitting opening in front should be the ventilation opening of the conference room.

Tang Yu tiptoed to the vicinity of the ventilation opening and peered down through the iron bars of the opening.

At this moment, a group of solemn-looking yakuza members dressed in black are gathered in the conference hall. Regardless of their status, each of them holds a chrysanthemum and bows their head in silent mourning.

The moment of silence lasted for three minutes, after which the black-clad yakuza raised their heads and listened solemnly as the priests recited prayers for salvation.

Due to the unusual events deep within the Abyss, the entire Serpent Clan has been on high alert for the past two days. Tang Yu's funeral was held by Yuan Zhisheng, who overruled objections and made time for it.

Therefore, everyone who attended the funeral looked exhausted, including the four members of the group: Tortoise, Uesugi Koshi, and Kassel.

Seeing this, Tang Yu suddenly felt a faint sense of guilt.

"Was what I did wrong?"
