Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"Perhaps Xia Mu is his Achilles' heel."

"..."

They guessed correctly; the symbol of the younger generation of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Genji's head, Minamoto no Chisei, had been driven mad by Natsuki.

"Sorry, I've been a bit irritable lately."

Yuan Zhisheng's expression returned to calm, and he gestured, "Accommodation has been arranged for everyone. Please get on the bus. Tomorrow I will take you on a tour of the branch. The mission will begin after the submersible is repaired."

Caesar and the other two exchanged glances, nodded, and got into the car.

That night, nothing happened that led to them being chased by the police. Because of Natsuki's influence, Genji and the others were too busy putting out fires and had no chance to cause trouble.

"Will we be able to see Xia Mu?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask from inside the car.

Genji nodded expressionlessly: "He's stirring up trouble in the Tokyo underground. I'll take you there tomorrow night to see for yourselves."

Lu Mingfei and the other two exchanged glances and nodded in satisfaction.

Ultimately, they were more interested in what Xia Mu would do after graduation…

Chapter 272 The Final Battle of the Underground Forces

"Go Go Go! Let's go visit the underworld!"

"Wait for me! Why are you running so fast?!"

"Will I be able to see Natsuki this time?"

The next day, Caesar and his two companions toured Genji Heavy Industries with blank expressions, but they became excited as soon as night fell.

"Young Master, tonight... is not a good time to experience the life of the underworld..."

Sakura whispered in Genji's ear, "Natsuki has announced that there will be a final underground battle tonight, and it's clear that a winner will be decided."

Genji frowned: "What is he doing? What use is his rabble if the half-bloods don't participate?"

"I don't know." Sakura shook her head.

"What is this? A gang war? Xia Mu started it?" Caesar suddenly stood behind them, his bright blue eyes shining. "We can't miss this! Let's go!"

"This..." Lu Mingfei hesitated, "How large is the scale? Will there be any collateral damage?"

"The scale is alright, just tens of thousands of people fighting each other..." Yuan Zhisheng said calmly.

Lu Mingfei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Tens of thousands of people killing each other?!"

"A decisive battle involving the entire underground forces, this scale is normal." Genji waved his hand casually. "I'm going to mediate now. Whether you want to come or not is up to you."

"go."

Chu Zihang and Caesar did not hesitate at all.

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth: "I'm going too!"

The group got into the car.

"What did Xia Mu do here? How did he get involved in the underground power struggle?" Chu Zihang asked in the car.

Genji glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "He gathered a group of mixed-race people, established an underground force, and swallowed up nearly half of the underworld gangs in just a few months."

"As for why he did these things..." He paused for a moment, "it's probably aimed at our family."

"Targeting you?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

After thinking about it, Yuan Zhisheng realized there was nothing he couldn't say.

"The Snake Clan holds a special position in the underworld. They are revered as the main family by all the underworld organizations and can be considered the rulers of the underworld, like the Dark Emperors."

His calm voice rang out in the carriage, “What Xia Mu is doing is unifying the underground forces and turning them into one, so that the main family will have no reason to exist... This is shaking our foundation.”

"Can you tolerate this?" Caesar asked.

Genji paused, his face expressionless: "If we can't beat them, what else can we do but be reluctant? Besides..."

He shook his head. "We may not be completely on his side, but at least I don't want my family to go to war with him."

Caesar and the other two exchanged glances, clearly somewhat surprised.

"They say even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake... Brother Mu, you're awesome," Lu Mingfei said.

"Xia Mu wouldn't be unreasonable. What did your family do to upset him?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.

Genji glanced at him: "It's nothing, I just don't agree to him taking Erii away."

"He's already being very lenient by not directly overthrowing you all."

Caesar recalled the Gattuso family's fate and patted Genjiro on the shoulder, "I have a sincere piece of advice for you: confront things openly and honestly, don't resort to underhanded tactics, or you'll definitely regret it."

Yuan Zhisheng awkwardly moved his shoulder aside.

A black Lexus sedan drove through the streets of Tokyo. The air in Tokyo after the rain was fresh, with a faint scent of seaweed. Although it was night, the breeze was invigorating.

"What beautiful weather! It doesn't look like the day of the decisive battle at all." Lu Mingfei rolled down the car window and took a deep breath.

"In five minutes, you will see another world," Genji said calmly.

Sakura drove her car away from the main road and into the brightly lit alley.

Soon, their car could no longer proceed because every intersection was blocked by crowds, and as far as the eye could see, there were only punks wielding machetes and axes.

Lu Mingfei shrank back: "Damn, is this what the underground forces are like?"

“These are just ordinary gang members,” Genjiro said, opening the car door and getting out. “Even gang members are divided into different ranks; the real upper echelons aren’t here.”

He took off the ring from his finger and handed it to Sakura, saying, "You lead the way, we'll go straight to the center of the conflict."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't you want to reconsider? Going in like this? What if we get surrounded and trapped like dumplings? We won't even be able to run away!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

Yuan Zhisheng was too lazy to deal with this coward and took the lead.

Caesar, with a cigar in his mouth, followed closely behind Chu Zihang, who was carrying Murasame on his back.

"You're all crazy... a bunch of crazy people..."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, but his feet followed.

The crowd parted like a tide, and Sakura walked over with the ring in her hand. The punks looked at her with awe, and none of them dared to approach.

This demonstrates the high status that this family holds in the eyes of these underground forces.

“Mr. Sakurai, your rampant acquisitions are against the rules of the underworld. Everyone relies on this for a living; you’re turning the table upside down.”

"How can you call it flipping the table? We're trying to bring everyone together, unleash greater power, make more money, and live a more unrestrained life."

“There are rules in the underworld. We are never reckless and we also need to follow the orders of our family. What you are doing is breaking the rules of the entire underworld. Our family will not allow you to act recklessly.”

"Our family doesn't restrict gangs from swallowing each other up."

"Our family will never allow only one voice to be heard underground!"

"..."

With a click, Genji lit a cigarette.

The two sides, who had been arguing incessantly, gradually quieted down from around him until they reached the center of the crowd.

"The family's law enforcement officers have arrived!"

Almost simultaneously, all the members of the "Shamate" subculture bowed at a 90-degree angle, facing the direction of Yuan Zhisheng.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingfei and the others truly realized the status of their family in the underworld.

"Both leaders, come with me."

Yuan Zhisheng said casually, then turned around and randomly chose a corner shop to walk into.

This is a toy store, and it doesn't seem to fit in here.

The shop assistant was an 18-year-old girl who didn't go to university after graduating from high school and instead found a job as a toy shop assistant.

Aso Makoto.

It's quite a coincidence that Caesar and his group, despite their knowledge of the underworld, still ended up getting involved with her.

"G-Gentlemen, would you like something to drink?" Aso asked, trembling slightly.

Caesar's aristocratic air kicked in, and he gave the girl a friendly smile: "Anything to drink is fine, no need to go to too much trouble."

Sakura acted as the translator.

Yuan Zhisheng ignored them, turned around, and looked at the two leaders who had followed him in.

Sakurai Akira was the one he knew best; he didn't need to know the others, he could just give orders.

"The main family will not stop the gang from merging; that's your own business."

Genjiro's first words made the leaders of the alliance opposite Sakurai Akira extremely anxious, but they dared not interrupt.

"But our family maintains the stability of the entire underground world and will not allow such a battle involving tens of thousands of people to determine ownership. If the underground fighting turns into a bloodbath, it will shake our foundation."

Yuan Zhisheng's next sentence put them at ease.

"Each of you send one hundred men to fight one battle to decide the outcome."

The leaders breathed a sigh of relief and grinned maliciously at Sakurai Akira.

"Hey, with your rabble..."

Chapter 273 The Bet

"Young Master, you... are very cunning."

After both sides left, Sakura muttered something with a strange expression.

Yuan Zhisheng glanced at her, a smile appearing on his lips.

"What's insidious?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Sakura glanced at Genjiro, and only after Genjiro nodded did she smile and say, "These gang leaders had complained to the main family before. The main family restricted the involvement of mixed-bloods, bringing their strength to the same level, and also leaving no room for the mixed-bloods that Xia Mu had gathered to exert their power... Then, the young master hinted to them that large-scale melees would not be allowed, as that would not be in the interest of the entire underground forces."

That was the end of her sentence.
