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

Erii clasped her hands together in front of her chest, staring blankly at the beautiful scene before her, before finally snapping out of her daze.

"Thank you, Ayu! This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful view! Ayu, will you always stay by my side?"

"Yes!" Tang Yu's tone was resolute. He gently grasped Erii's cold little hand and said softly, "I will always stay by Erii's side until the end of this world!"

"It's a deal then!" Erii smiled brightly. "Let's pinky swear!"

"Then let's pinky swear!" Tang Yu smiled and hooked Erii's little finger with his.

At that very moment, colorful fireworks burst forth in the dark night sky, their dazzling light reflecting on the two people's faces, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Mr. Honda, standing below, threw down the match in his hand and muttered to himself, "Mr. Tang, seize the opportunity! We've done everything we can; the rest is up to you!"

Uesugi Kotsushi took his "saying one thing but doing another" act to an extreme! He verbally complained about his son-in-law Tang Yu, but behind the scenes, he still sent his most capable subordinates to help the two of them.

Now it seems the assist was incredibly effective!

174. Coercion from the highest levels of the United States

After exploring the amusement park, Tang Yu took Erii to eat at the Five Eyes Fried Rice restaurant on the street corner. When the two returned to the Genji Heavy Industries building, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Tang Yu escorted Erii, whose face was beaming with joy, back to her room, and then lay back on his own bed, tossing and turning in bed.

He was now enveloped in a pink buff called "love," and under this buff, Tang Yu felt like he could conquer the world!

It's no wonder he felt that way!

Heavens have mercy! Tang Yu is almost thirty years old across both his lives, and this is the first time he's ever confessed his feelings...

I have to say, holding Erii's little hand... feels absolutely amazing!

dong dong dong...

Just as Tang Yu was fantasizing about his wonderful married life with Erii, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door.

"Who is it? It's so late!"

Unable to sleep, Tang Yu yawned, then quickly got out of bed and opened the door.

By the moonlight, Tang Yu saw the visitors who had arrived in the middle of the night—Uesugi Etsu, with a stubble beard, and Genji, who looked arrogant and aloof.

"Oh, it's Uncle and the giant tortoise! ​​Please come in!" Tang Yu made way for the two who had come late at night and led them into the room.

After placing a steaming cup of tea in front of each person, Tang Yu became serious.

"What brings you two here so late?"

"If there's nothing wrong, who would want to come looking for a little rascal like you! Just seeing you makes me angry!" Uesugi Kotsugi's face clearly showed that he was unhappy.

In his view, this stupid pig who stole his little cabbage was simply unforgivable!

Tang Yu should turn himself into soft-fried pork tenderloin and serve it to the dinner table to atone for his sins!

Tang Yu himself was completely unaware of how much his future father-in-law disliked him!

At this moment, the guy still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem; he was still foolishly exchanging pleasantries with his brother-in-law.

Finally, father-in-law Uesugi Echizen couldn't hold back any longer!

The former "Emperor of the Night" slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. He glared fiercely at Tang Yu, his tone full of doubt.

"You little brat, do you really think you and Erii are a good match?"

"Of course it's suitable! Uncle, what exactly are you trying to say?" Tang Yu was completely bewildered.

"I don't think you're suitable!" Uesugi Koshi took a deep breath. "You're three years younger than Erii. I don't believe a kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet can provide my precious daughter with a sense of security!"

"Is this the legendary 'difficult situation from the father-in-law'?" Tang Yu thought to himself.

Faced with such unreasonable and difficult demands from their fathers-in-law, most sons-in-law have no good way to fight back and can only accept it passively.

But Tang Yu is clearly not among the "majority".

"I'm dating Erii, not an old geezer like you!" Tang Yu retorted, launching a brilliant counterattack with his words.

The disobedience from his future son-in-law deeply wounded the father-in-law's fragile heart. Uesugi Yue wanted to say something more, but before he could finish speaking, his brother-in-law, Genjiro, who had been holding back his laughter, cut him off.

"Father, before we discuss whether Tang Yu and Erii are suitable for each other, let's talk about the important matter first!"

"Oh, right, there's still important stuff we haven't discussed!" Uesugi Kotsu nodded, then gave Tang Yu a disapproving look. "You little rascal, we'll continue this discussion next time!"

"Alright, alright! Who told you to be my father-in-law?" Tang Yu yawned nonchalantly. "Let's get down to business! I need to sleep for a while after that, it's getting late!"

"Father, shall you speak or shall I speak?" Genji looked at Uesugi Kotsugu and asked softly.

"Let me speak!" Uesugi Kotsushi's unshaven old face suddenly darkened. "Tang Yu, although I still have reservations about your relationship with Erii, after thinking it over... it seems that only you can do this!"

"What is it?" Tang Yu asked, intrigued.

“I need you to take Erii and leave Japan! Go to Russia for a few days to avoid trouble,” Uesugi Kotetsu said.

"Why leave Japan? Is someone trying to harm Erii?" Tang Yu's face also darkened; the expressions of his son-in-law and father-in-law were almost identical.

“That’s right!” Yuan Zhisheng, the brother-in-law, also chimed in the conversation.

"Those old bastards from the Secret Party Elders' Council informed the Snake Clan a couple of days ago, demanding that we hand over Erii! They call it 'keeping watch over dangerous hybrids,' but what they're really up to... any hybrid knows!" Genji said in a deep voice.

"With such a powerful force as the Snake Clan, can't they even protect the head of their own major clan?" Tang Yu questioned.

“That’s not how it works!” Genji shook his head. “If it were just the power of the Secret Party Elders’ Council alone, they would never be able to shake the Snake Clan! The Elders’ Council may be powerful, but in the Japanese region, we are the truth!”

Genji paused, a shadow falling over his brow. "But those bastards used their influence to affect the American parliament."

"The US high command is putting pressure on the Japanese cabinet again... If the Snake Clan doesn't hand over Erii, then we might have to go to war with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces!"

After Yuan Zhisheng rambled on for so long, Tang Yu finally understood!

It turns out that the handsome father from Japan put pressure on his son!

Upon closer examination, although the Snake Clan is hailed as the "Emperor of the Night" in Japan, their strength is still far inferior to that of the Self-Defense Forces in a real, head-on confrontation.

After all, although the higher-ups in Japan call that thing the "Self-Defense Forces," what exactly it is... even a blind person can see!

……

"So, after saying all this... you still want to hand over Erii, is that right?" Tang Yu stared at Genjiro with an unfriendly expression.

"How could that be? Erii is my own sister! How could she be touched by those scoundrels?" Genji shook his head slightly. "Don't worry, we're just letting you go out and take refuge for a while, to give the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Self-Defense Forces some breathing room! We'll find a way to delay things with the Secret Party Elders' Council!"

The father-in-law, Uesugi Etsushi, who couldn't stand his son-in-law, also spoke up: "With you, you little rascal, plus the power of my precious daughter, I really can't think of any danger that could threaten you!"

"When Kassel College launches its final assault on the Elders' Council, I'll personally show those old asses in the Elders' Council what... what hellish scenery is like!"

A dazzling gold shimmered in Uesugi Kotsushi's pupils. Compared to his usual dejected appearance, he now truly resembled a "Night Emperor" who had dominated the world for decades!

"I've already processed your visas! The plane will take off at 10 a.m. tomorrow, flying directly to the international airport in Russia!"

175. A Honeymoon Trip with Erii

Uesugi took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions. Then, his father-in-law glared fiercely at his son-in-law.

"You little brat, I'm warning you! You and Erii aren't even officially together yet, if you dare to do anything out of line..."

Uesugi stopped talking and then let out a chilling laugh.

That laughter sent a chill down Tang Yu's spine, and he suddenly felt a pang of sadness...

I couldn't sleep all night...

Time flew by, and soon it was the morning of the second day.

After quickly packing his luggage, Tang Yu walked out of his room, and then... he saw Erii at his doorstep.

Today, Erii changed out of her usual shrine maiden outfit and into a wool coat that was both lightweight and warm.

The beige wool coat accentuated Erii's rosy cheeks, making her look absolutely stunning...

"Ayu, do I look good in this outfit?"

Erii twirled in front of Tang Yu, her unique, faint fragrance wafting towards him. That moment of beauty... was forever etched into Tang Yu's mind.

"Beautiful, of course beautiful! My Erii looks good in anything!" Tang Yu gently held Erii's cool little hand.

"We're going to live in Russia for a while now. Are you scared, Erii?"

"I'm not afraid!" Erii tilted her head back, her pale red eyes sparkling with an unusual seriousness.

"As long as Ayu is here, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Tang Yu didn't say anything, but simply held Erii's little hand even tighter.

"Hey, you little brat! Let go of my precious daughter! I'm still here, so you better watch yourself."

Seeing more and more pink bubbles rising between the silly piglet and the little cabbage, the father-in-law couldn't stand it anymore.

Uesugi Koshi decisively spoke up, completely destroying the pink atmosphere between the two.

……

Just before boarding the plane, Uesugi Yue slapped Tang Yu's shoulder once more fiercely: "You little brat, remember what I said! And... take good care of my precious daughter. If she comes back thin, you know what will happen!"

"You don't need to tell me, I can do it too!" Tang Yu looked at Erii with eyes full of doting affection.

After waving goodbye to her father and two older brothers, Erii skipped and hopped as she followed Tang Yu onto the private jet.

In fact, Erii didn't feel much sadness about parting from her loved ones at this moment; all she could see was her Yu!

Maybe this is love!

The private plane of the Snake Clan slowly taxied along the runway before taking off into the sky.

After the plane took off, Tang Yu and Erii happily played video games in the cabin, while at Tokyo International Airport below, Uesugi Koshi and his two sons, who had come to see them off, did not leave.

At this moment, Uesugi Kotsugu's expression was sinister, and his tone was resolute and unquestionable: "Chisato, go and inform the subordinate industries of the Snake Clan, and tell them to do everything they can to suppress Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kitagawa Chamber of Commerce! I want to see their stocks drop by 20 percentage points within two days!"

“Child, this time you’ll take matters into your own hands! Go and warn those two bastards, Inukai Nisaburo and Hikawa Okaita…” At this point, Uesugi Koshi narrowed his eyes slightly, “Don’t think you’re so great just because you’ve become a cabinet minister! Tell them not to get their asses crooked! Otherwise… Tokyo Bay will be missing two decent cement pillars!”

"Ok!"

As soon as Uesugi Kotsugu finished speaking, Genjiro and Genjiro nodded at the same time. Without asking any further questions, they turned and left.
