Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

As Lu Mingfei drove away from the back alley of the University of Tokyo, he said to Erii, who was sitting in the back seat, "Inuyama He didn't recognize you."

"Mm." Erii nodded, then said softly, "I'm going out to take a look around, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

Erii wanting to leave Tokyo is a good thing. We can use her to draw the attention of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and make them focus all their manpower on Tokyo, so we can make our move at the Aoyama Charity School.

"When?"

"How about tonight? We can go to Disneyland tomorrow morning and at noon first."

"it is good."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the system log to see what the system had planned before.

Then he discovered that the system was performing a new analysis, analyzing the anomaly of Inuyama He's appearance at Uesugi Koshi's noodle stall.

Although Inuyama He is of noble status, it doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to eat at street vendor stalls. Lu Mingfei didn't think too much about it.

However, the fact that Uesugi Kotsugu's surname, Inuyama He's identity, and that Inuyama He hadn't eaten ramen from the moment Lu Mingfei and his group entered until they left aroused the system's vigilance and suspicion.

They began analyzing whether Uesugi Kotsu was truly a member of the Upper Three Families of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

……

“I’m going home. Aren’t you leaving? If you’re interested in my ramen van, I’ll give it to you,” Uesugi said to Inuyama, who was still standing there.

"Sigh." Inuyama He suddenly let out a long sigh.

He just felt so tired.

The most powerful person has become the family's mortal enemy, and the family leader is also suspected of having problems. The family is beset by internal and external troubles...

Tachibana Masamune's strong leadership is certainly not a problem, but the Demon Clan has never been this powerful in history.

As Tachibana Masamune rose to power by stepping on the Demon Clan, Inuyama He naturally suspected him, suspecting that he was harboring bandits to enhance his own power... but he really had no evidence to bring down Tachibana Masamune, whose authority was at its zenith.

The appearance of Genjiro and Erii did fill the gap in the Snake-Headed Eight Families—the Emperor—but the situation was truly strange, because both Genjiro and Erii were brought back by Tachibana Masamune.

If Tachibana Masamune has problems, then the Snake-Headed Eight Families are like a plaything, completely manipulated by him...

As the former head of the Snake Clan, he knew many inside stories, but could only watch helplessly as his family went down a path of no return.

His abilities were simply insufficient to contend with Tachibana Masamune; otherwise, it wouldn't have been Tachibana Masamune, who had only appeared a little over a decade ago, who unified the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Before Tachibana Masamune's emergence, he had always been the most powerful person in the Snake-Headed Eight Families...

Despite his mediocre abilities, he only took over the Snake-Headed Eight Families by sheer luck, relying on the appreciation of Angers and the Kassel Academy. However, this appreciation also sowed the seeds of his downfall; his identity could never truly be considered that of a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Families…

"Why are you sighing?" Uesugi Koshi asked.

"Only I know about your situation in the family, and I have never talked about it with anyone else over the years, so no one will bother you."

As he spoke, Inuyama He mentioned another super hybrid whose bloodline would not go out of control, a true emperor: "If you, the patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, were the last emperor, then who is Genjiro? It is indeed questionable whether the Uesugi family head's bloodline would go out of control, but Genjiro is a true emperor."

"You, patriarch, burned the family records, and those who knew the inside story died around the time of World War II. But some things, even if not recorded in the records, will still exist in people's memories."

The fire that Uesugi Kotsugu set before leaving the family did indeed burn away the precious heritage of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, which had been recorded for countless years, but these things did not only exist in the records.

Inuyama He, as the last man of the Inuyama family, which was the weakest of the eight families of the Snake Clan at the time, his father chose to go all in and launch World War II in order to revive the family.

But before that, he had considered other options. His two ordinary older sisters had almost been sent to Uesugi Echizen's harem for reuse.

An ordinary person from an ancient bloodline family is indeed no different from a piece of trash.

After World War II, Inuyama He's father committed suicide by shooting himself, his eldest sister died in a street fight, and his second sister chose to marry an American officer to protect him...

The Inuyama family has truly fallen into ruin. With Inuyama Kasa's death, the Inuyama family's legitimate bloodline will come to an end... However, the thin bloodline also brought Inuyama Kasa another benefit: he truly knew the top secrets of this ancient dragon blood family.

Only the three legitimate upper families can produce an emperor, so people from the three upper families can sit firmly in the position of patriarch regardless of their bloodline, even if they are ordinary people.

Super hybrids possess super-powerful incantations, and their bloodline ranks among the next generation. The emperor is also at this level, but the emperors of the Snake Clan possess a characteristic that no other hybrid has—no matter how high their bloodline percentage is, they will never go out of control.

Normal hybrids with too high a proportion of dragon blood will degenerate into dead servants, because the stubborn human blood in their bodies will not completely yield. However, regardless of the bloodline ratio, the emperors can always maintain their clear humanity... Ordinary people do not know this, they only know the legendary Amaterasu.

This is an inside story that only the heads of the Snake-Headed Eight Families can know, but unlike other heads, Inuyama He knows that the last emperor of the Snake-Headed Eight Families was Uesugi Kochi.

This was said by his father himself, so his father wanted to send his two daughters into Uesugi Echizen's harem. As long as they could give birth to a son or daughter to continue the last imperial bloodline, the Inuyama family would gain an unparalleled status.

As a result, Uesugi Kotsugi didn't like his two older sisters...

Inuyama He sighed again: "I thought the royal bloodline of the family would be completely cut off after you left the Snake-Headed Eight Family. After all, your will was so resolute that it was impossible for you to return to the Snake-Headed Eight Family."

Uesugi Echizen slaughtered his entire harem, burned down his family shrine, and looted all the family's inherited weapons, clearly intending to destroy the Serpent Clan.

Inuyama He didn't know why he hated the Snake-Headed Hachike so much, but he knew that the more trouble he caused Uesugi, the easier it would be for him to understand what the power of the Emperor was...

Even without the Emperor, I, Inuyama He, will still lead the Snake-Headed Eight Families to glory! After being brutally beaten, Inuyama He became obedient... He truly lacked the ability and skill.

“Hmm…” Uesugi Kotsushi did not speak, but listened quietly to what he had to say.

He sensed something was wrong. Inuyama He knew the inside story, so if the Snake-Headed Eight Families had indeed produced an emperor...

"Do you still remember what you looked like when you were young, patriarch?" Inuyama He whispered.

"I don't remember." Uesugi Kotsushi sensed something was off. Why was he asking this out of the blue?

"Those who have seen the appearance of the patriarch were all high-ranking members of the family in the past. They are all quite old, so none of them have seen Uesugi Erii and Genji.

Inuyama He whispered, "Besides me, I was able to meet you, the head of the family, when I was very young, under Angers' guidance."

“Yes.” Uesugi Yue felt uneasy. He still remembered that old man Angers bringing Inuyama He to him.

"Those who have met you, the head of the family, have not met Genjiro and Erii Uesugi, while those who have met Genjiro and Erii Uesugi have not met you, the head of the family. This successfully created an information gap."

The family elders' impression of you, the patriarch, only exists in written records. After you left, everyone was searching for royal blood, except for me, because I knew that you were the last royal blood the family had been searching for.

They tried to make the Snake Clan great again, but they didn't know that the clan had already searched the whole world before World War II.

When Genjiro and Erii Uesugi were found, their royal bloodline was confirmed, and I thought it was a stroke of good fortune for the family. But as they grew older, I noticed something was amiss.

Looking at Uesugi Kotsu's blank stare, Inuyama He said, "I find that they have the shadow of you, the head of the family. When you left the Snake Clan, you were only in your thirties, in the prime of your life. If you put your appearance together with that of Genjiro and Uesugi Erii, you will find that they are you when you were young."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Uesugi Koshi exclaimed excitedly. "Unless you show me the photos."

"It's already been brought."

Inuyama He pulled two photos from his pocket: "Actually, I was very reluctant to approach you, the patriarch, because you really hate the family. But the family's problems are really serious right now. Genjiro and Uesugi Erii could both just be pawns of the mastermind behind it all, but I don't know what the mastermind is trying to do, because I don't know what's going on here..."

With Uesugi Echizen, the legitimate emperor, keeping him in check, Tachibana Masamune's room for maneuver would be compressed. Inuyama He suspected that Tachibana Masamune was behind Erii's disappearance, but he didn't know what he was up to.

In the past, it was one thing for Tachibana Masamune and the Oni Clan to stage their own dramas, but now that Tachibana Masamune has firmly established himself as the head of the clan and no one can rival him, yet he still uses Erii to manipulate things, that must be a huge event!

He already controls the Snake-Headed Eight Families, what more could he want? Inuyama He didn't even dare to think about it...

Unfortunately, he didn't know any more information. The foundation of the Snake Clan had been completely destroyed, and he couldn't deduce what Tachibana Masamune was doing.

However, Uesugi Yue knew more about the Snake-Headed Eight Families. The greatest secret of the Snake-Headed Eight Families was not the White King's bloodline, nor the Emperor, but the White King!

Only Uesugi Kotsugu knew where the White King was! He could tell at a glance whether Tachibana Masamune's actions were actually plotting against the White King.

So he came to Uesugi Kotsugi. Even if Uesugi Kotsugi hates his family, he must still care about his children, right?

……

Inside the hotel, Xia Mi stared wide-eyed at the man and woman. "Wait, boss, what are you doing...?"

The man and woman clearly looked like they had overindulged in sex. They were so exhausted, yet instead of resting in their hotel room, they went outside. Could it be that they were... exploring new positions and new scenes outside?

"Don't overthink it. I'm exhausted because I worked for two days and two nights straight without sleep to process Erii's bloodline."

Lu Mingfei quickly interrupted the girl's rambling thoughts. It was one thing for Uesugi Koshi to be lost in thought, but for Natsumi to be lost in thought was troublesome.

"You should go and get some rest. We'll be taking action against Qingshan Charity School tomorrow. I've already started preparing the evacuation route."

"Oh, okay." Xia Mi nodded, looking like she was right. "Boss, aren't you going to go check what's going on?"

"I'm taking Erii away from Tokyo," Lu Mingfei said. "Then it's up to you guys. Good luck!"

"Uh-huh."

Xia Mi nodded and decisively went back to her room and closed the door.

Lu Mingfei and Erii also went back to their double room.

After having a full meal, Lu Mingfei fell asleep instantly on the bed, while Erii leisurely went to take a shower first...

Ten minutes later, Xia Mi quietly opened the door again, crept to the door of Lu Mingfei and Erii's double room, pricked up her ear, and pressed it against the door, trying to eavesdrop on the sounds inside...

Erii, having soaked in warm water for half an hour, comfortably emerged from the bathroom, looking at the doorway with some confusion.

Because her bloodline was suppressed, her physical abilities were also diminished.

She, who could usually hear very faint sounds, could not hear them clearly at this moment, which made her uncertain.

However, she didn't dare to open the door to take a look, because she had already removed her makeup... She chose to ignore it and started doing other things.

For example, today I saw a woman applying makeup and skincare products, opening a face mask, putting it on her face, and then gently patting her face...

"Why is it so quiet inside? Are they really asleep?" Xia Mi wondered to herself...

Then she heard a faint tapping sound...

Xia Mi's eyes widened as she focused even more intently on eavesdropping, but the tapping only lasted a short while, perhaps only half a minute, before it ended...

She couldn't help but wonder, "Huh? Norton's time is that short? Do ordinary people last 3 to 10 minutes? His... it only seems to be 20 seconds?"

After eavesdropping for a while longer and confirming that there was no more noise inside, she left with regret...

……

The next morning, Xia Mi quickly took a car back to Qingshan Love School to prepare to kidnap the person.

After Lu Mingfei and Erii woke up in the morning, Erii continued to put on makeup, preparing to go to Disneyland with Lu Mingfei.

……

Fierce ghosts.

"The Hebi-Hachi family seems to be quite busy lately?"

"The head of their Uesugi family has gone missing, and a reward of 15 billion yen has been offered."

"The head of the Uesugi family? Uesugi Erii?" Kazama Ruri cast a concerned glance her way.

It seems that after my death, this woman replaced me in my brother's heart?

"correct."

The two members of the Fierce Demon Clan immediately explained to him, "She's been missing for several days now. The Snake-Headed Eight Families are searching all over Japan for this woman. Dragon King, should we get involved and intercept her beforehand?"
