Uesugi Kotsugi's face darkened: "You old bastard, pay up first!"
"I have no money."
"Get out if you have no money!"
"Xia Mu said you want to know what your possible offspring might be? I do know a little."
"Hey bro, what flavor do you want?"
As expected of the former underworld supreme, his ability to change his expression left Xia Mu in awe.
He invited Sezuko to sit down with him and ordered two bowls of Uesugi Koshi's signature ramen.
When Uesugi Koshihira's ramen arrived, he glanced at him sideways and asked, "Where's that girl from last time?"
Xia Mu lowered his head and ate his ramen: "Whether she's your daughter or not is another matter. Why are you so concerned? You're a washed-up underworld kingpin. Can you even count how many women you slept with back in the day?"
Uesugi Koshi snorted coldly, and without even greeting Angers first, he sat down in front of him and tapped the table: "This is not the same thing. Even the supreme ruler of the underworld would not allow his son-in-law to mess around."
"Ah Yue, are you still worried about him?"
Angers laughed, “There are countless romantics among mixed-race people, but he is definitely one of the most innocent ones. He has come this far for the girl, and he has gone through countless troubles to face the entire Serpent Clan for her sake.”
"Oh? This kid is so rare?" Uesugi Yue's old face relaxed.
"Hmph, if he finds out about Xia Mi's existence, won't he just suddenly attack and kill you?" Jormungandr said.
Xia Mu ignored her.
Sezuko ate her noodles in small bites, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Japanese women are dutiful and never interrupt when men are talking.
Chapter 297 I Like Me When I Was...
Natsuki neither knew nor cared what Angers and Uesugi Kotsugu had discussed at the end.
The current situation is one of mutual maneuvering, and Herzog is basically aware of his calculations, while his opponent is completely clueless about what he is thinking, making it an unequal situation.
If we can't even win this, then there's no point in playing.
He left quickly, taking Sezuko with him.
"Mumu!"
Back in the courtyard, Erii immediately ran out lightly and stood under the corridor calling to him.
But she immediately noticed Setsuko following closely behind Natsuki, and her expression changed.
Sezuko's body suddenly trembled, like a white mouse being stared at by a cat.
She suppressed the urge to draw her sword and looked up at Erii with some fear.
Xia Mu didn't change his shoes. Standing at the bottom of the steps, he hugged Erii's slender waist and buried his face in her neck, gently sniffing her.
Erii's eyes softened, and she looked away from Setsuko.
Shizuko breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that she was covered in a cold sweat.
“She was sent to me by the head of the Inuyama family to keep me company. How about she stays with you when I’m not around?” Natsuki said softly.
Sezuko's body, which had just relaxed, tensed up instantly.
That fleeting murderous intent was terrifying enough; how could I possibly live with her every day?
Erii had no idea what she was thinking. She glanced over and looked her up and down before firing a direct question: "Would you try to take Mumu from me?"
"what?"
Shizuko's mouth dropped open. This was the first time she had ever been so rude. She immediately lowered her head in a panic. "No, I wouldn't dare. Sir, you are the master. Everything I have belongs to the master. I will do whatever the master asks me to do."
"Mumu, does she mean that if you want her, she won't refuse?" Erii is particularly perceptive in these kinds of matters.

Xia Mu sighed and tightened his embrace around the delicate body: "Eri, am I really that untrustworthy?"
Erii lowered her eyes and uttered a name: "Xia Mi".
Xia Mu froze on the spot.
Since the incident involving Natsumi, everything has changed. Erii has become more like a real girl, with her own thoughts and worries.
"Eri, if you could go back to the past, back to when you knew nothing, would you be willing?" Natsuki asked softly.
Erii took a step back, met his gaze quietly, and pursed her lips: "I don't want to."
Even knowing all this, I'm still the same person I always was, yearning to see the beauty in this world, longing to be loved and feel safe...
Her eyes remained pure, uncomplicated by the fact that she had learned more.
"But, Mumu..."
She leaned against Xia Mu again, hugging his waist tightly, and asked, "Do you prefer me now, or the me who didn't know anything before?"
"You've been so good to me since the first time we met, and you still are. I know what happened to Xia Mi was an accident, but I often think about it..."
She murmured softly, "I'm so starved for love, so thirsty for it. So who gives you love, since you've always given me love? No one can keep giving love unless they themselves don't lack it. So... Xia Mi played that role, didn't she?"
Xia Mu stood there, stunned.
"So she saw things so clearly."
Jormungandr remarked, "Girls are indeed more gifted in matters of the heart than boys."
Do you, a company specializing in logistics, have the standing to say this?
Natsuki pouted, gently stroking Erii's long hair, enjoying the embrace as Erii was now taller than him.
"Don't overthink it. You used to think the world was a ruby, but it's not. It's a gray sphere of black and white. It shows whatever color you look at it."
He tilted his head back, kissing her neck as he murmured, "I loved you when you were pure and innocent, and I love you now, even after understanding so much, you're still so pure. As long as you like yourself more now, then I haven't done anything wrong in guiding you to understand the world and yourself, because..."
That's the real you!
Their lips pressed together.
Sezuko looked on, her face flushed, but she couldn't bear to look away.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that this moment was very beautiful, not only because of the tranquility of the night and the embellishment of the moonlight, but also because of their honest and genuine love.
This kiss seemed destined to last forever.
When the two parted, Sezuko could clearly see their rosy complexions and glistening lips…
"I have things to do, I won't be back tonight."
Natsuki gently stroked Erii's face and pressed his forehead against hers.
"Yes, I'm happy on my own, don't worry."
Erii pushed him away, saying, "Go on, I'll wait for you to come back."
Xia Mu smiled slightly, took a small box out of his pocket and put it into her small hand: "This is for you, a pair of special Bluetooth headphones with surround sound, it's very good."
"Okay."
Erii didn't say thank you, because it wasn't necessary; she simply smiled slightly.
"And this, I saw it in a street shop, it would suit you perfectly."
Xia Mu then took out a bracelet, simple and elegant, and put it on Erii's fair wrist, making her hands look even more beautiful than snow.
Erii stroked the bracelet, her eyes following Natsuki's retreating figure as he turned to leave. She stood there in the corridor for a long time, not moving an inch.
Shizuko stood there, not daring to move.
"Come with me."
Erii suddenly turned and walked into the room.
Somewhat nervously, Sezuko changed her shoes and followed her inside.
In her eyes, Erii seemed like a completely different person. The shy and lovely girl she had just been was now like a sleeping Natsuki who had left. Now she was like a beautiful but lifeless doll, sitting quietly by the window, without a trace of human presence.
Perhaps this head of the Uesugi family is even more attached to him than the master thinks… Setsuko thought to herself.
“Unless Mumu specifically told you not to tell me, tell me about your Inuyama family’s cooperation with him. I want to know everything about him,” Erii said softly, looking out the window.
Sezuko knelt down behind her, thought carefully for a moment, and cautiously said, "I don't know many details, I only know that you saved our head of the family and Principal Angers. Out of gratitude, the head of the family expressed that the Inuyama family would support all of your decisions in the future."
Erii's profile remained motionless, and her face showed no change in expression.
After thinking for a moment, Shizuko said, "Judging from the current family trends, one side supports Mr. Masamune to exterminate the Menggui Clan, while the other side supports Mr. Xia, focusing on consolidation and division. Which side succeeds in the end will affect the future transfer of family power."
"Brother will support Mumu."
Erii suddenly said something in a daze.
Sezuko suddenly looked up at her, deeply shaken.
If the new patriarchs all secretly favor the Master, then who will rule the Snake Clan in the future?
Her heart suddenly felt burning hot…
Chapter 298 Bondarev?!
"Are you feeling overwhelmed right now, Dr. Herzog?"
Tachibana Masamune stared at the text message from an unknown source on his phone and almost dropped it.
His true identity was revealed without any warning.
"Don't be nervous, we're not opponents, we're teammates. I've been looking forward to your successful demonstration."
"who are you?"
Masamune Tachibana replied quickly.
"An old friend."
Tachibana Masamune's eyes narrowed as a name that had been on his mind for decades came to mind... Major Bondarev.
