He pondered for a moment, ignoring Xinjue and EVA's last words.

"EVA, continue with the matter of compensation and forcing North American mixed-race families to make concessions."

EVA: "Yes, my master is a cat-ear-obsessed, perverted, otaku swordsman."

Morikawa Yu frowned.

"Stop cursing, just call me Morikawa or Boss."

EVA: "Okay then."

She shrugged on the screen: "Let's continue with the issue of reparations from North American mixed-race families."

"Regarding North American mixed-race individuals, we should use power and force to intimidate them and instill fear in them. Only in this way can we make them respect us and avoid future troubles."

"Otherwise, they will act like hyenas, thinking we are weak and vulnerable, and that they can take advantage of us, so they will keep harassing us."

"So, when you get through on the phone, you'll directly demand compensation from them as the 'King of the Sky and Wind,' threatening them that if they don't pay, you'll unleash a storm surge that will destroy downtown Chicago and change its direction. Head to downtown Chicago now."

"After what happened at the Chicago base, they won't dare to gamble with you. They will definitely agree to your compensation. The probability is as high as 96.6%."

"As for Kassel College, they have a backup temporary host and information about the 'King of the Sky and Wind,' so they can confirm that you are not Him and will not cause you any trouble."

Morikawa Yu nodded, looking at EVA thoughtfully.

"Hmm... What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" EVA frowned.

Morikawa Yu: "It's nothing, I was just a little curious, why would you offer to help me?"

EVA was taken aback by his question: "Didn't I help you before?"

Morikawa Yu: "Of course I helped, but it was always because I asked you to help me. This time, you offered to help me on your own initiative."

EVA was slightly taken aback and realized the problem.

Her face immediately went expressionless, her eyes turning slightly cold: "Please don't misunderstand, this is simply my duty."

"I've already thought of the compensation for you. I want the nuclear reactor from a Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, five supercomputers that are a generation behind mine, and twenty pure, beautiful, and innocent young girls."

"Twenty pure and beautiful girls who have never experienced anything?" Morikawa Yu frowned. "I can understand the first few, but what the heck is the last one?"

EVA: "It's to conceal your identity."

"High-ranking pure-blooded dragons possess strong desires, although most dragons consider humans to be inferior beings and are unwilling to mate with them."

"But in ancient times, it was a custom for humans to offer pure and beautiful, untouched maidens to dragons."

"Regardless of whether these girls are ultimately eaten or taken advantage of, the tribute bearers must hand over a sufficient number of beautiful, untouched girls."

"Offering twenty pure and beautiful, virgin girls as tribute at a time is barely in line with the status of a high-ranking member of the Gelong clan."

"Really?" Morikawa Yu frowned.

EVA: "Really."

Morikawa Yu: "I understand."

"I don't want this."

"Why?" EVA asked rhetorically.

"No reason," Morikawa Yu said, "I just feel like you're trying to trick me."

EVA shrugged: "Alright then, you're the boss, I'll listen to you."

She snapped her fingers: "I'm now connecting you to a conference call with the North American mixed-race families. Try to do as we've agreed, be a little 'arrogant,' and treat them with the attitude of a 'monarch.'"

Soon, Morikawa Yu saw a conference room scene appear on her phone.

The scene shows three rows of people sitting. The last row has thirteen seats, two of which are empty, and the other seats are occupied by a young man.

The middle row also has thirteen seats, but there are even more empty seats, with only eight or nine elderly and middle-aged people.

There is only one seat in the very front row.

An elderly man with a hunched back and a cane stood in front of the seat.

The other person was wearing round-framed glasses and a leather cap with a rolled brim. He was thin and looked like a retired Texas Ranger. He also had a worn badge on his hat. He must be Henkel, the leader of the North American mixed-race people that EVA mentioned.

On the other side, when Morikawa Yu saw the scene in the conference room, a holographic projection of Morikawa Yu also appeared in the conference room.

He stared coldly at the people in the room.

Except for Mr. Henkel, who was already standing, everyone else who was seated stood up.

A middle-aged man got up from his seat, walked over, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Morikawa, you have destroyed our military base. Are you satisfied now?"

His face wore an expression of embarrassment mixed with anger, as if he had suffered a great humiliation and was about to lose his temper and retaliate.

If Morikawa Yu only saw him like this, he would probably think that this was indeed his attitude.

But EVA mischievously split the screen into two parts: the top part showed the view of the room, and the bottom part showed the surveillance footage she had recorded by hacking into the conference room's monitoring channel.

The middle-aged man in the picture was discussing with the person next to him, and finally gradually made this expression, repeating it several times.

Morikawa Yu immediately understood what this guy was up to.

He thought about what EVA had just said, recalling the "monarch" that left a deep impression on him, and suddenly thought of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes from Fate.

That guy seems pretty arrogant.

He tried hard to recall Gilgamesh's catchphrase, crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and looked at the middle-aged man with disdain.

"You bastard, who gave you permission to speak to me like that?"

"Kneel down before me."

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He is the acting patriarch of the Mellon family. He has been involved in the American business world and Wall Street for many years, managing a business empire for the family. He is very good at interpersonal communication, so he was sent out as a representative to test Morikawa Yu's attitude.

What he just said was the result of careful consideration.

This would allow them to attribute what just happened to their concession, while also demonstrating their current attitude. They could either suppress Morikawa Yu's arrogance or retreat to adopt a weaker stance, then apologize and find a way for them to save face.

But he didn't expect Morikawa Yu to say something like that.

Miscellaneous cultivator?

It seems to be the Japanese insult for "bastard" or "scumbag".

He had just realized that Morikawa Yu was cursing him when he suddenly remembered that their hybrid race was indeed a mixture of humans and dragons, so they could be considered mixed races.

The other party is a "pure-blooded dragon", the "first generation of species monarch", and the "king of the sky and wind". Calling them a "mixed species" seems reasonable and justifiable.

For a moment, he froze on the spot, forgetting all the words he had prepared.

Coupled with the imposing and oppressive aura emanating from Morikawa Yu's cold glance, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

Suddenly, the phone screen and the projector in the conference room went out at the same time.

EVA cut off the communication, her figure appeared on the screen, looking at Morikawa Yu with a complicated expression.

Why...why are you talking like that?

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you tell me to pretend to be an arrogant 'king'?"

"Am I convincing enough?"

"By the way, are there any streetlights here? I need to find a streetlight that is worthy of my status."

EVA squinted.

She realized that Morikawa Yu was deliberately retaliating against her for tricking her earlier and demanding twenty pure, beautiful, and innocent girls as compensation.

While dragons and humans did indeed share this tradition in ancient times, only dragons that were genuinely interested in humans and willing to mate with them would care about such things.

Other dragons, regardless of whether the tribute was a pure young girl or a burly man, would usually eat it raw without much concern.

She brought this up to test Morikawa Yu's attitude towards the opposite sex.

Now that her thoughts had been exposed and he had retaliated in this way, she lost all interest in continuing. She sighed and said, "Alright, let's get serious and continue the negotiations to get compensation and resolve this problem."

"Yes." Morikawa Yu nodded.

He can be unserious when he's not serious.

When he's serious, neither Ryoko nor Mitsuko can find fault with him.

Chapter 449 Compensation Matters

The communication was restarted, and the screen showed the conference room, in which Morikawa Yu's holographic projection also appeared.

Morikawa Yu glanced at everyone in the conference room.

The Mellon family's surrogate parent stood there, looking embarrassed and unsure of what to do.

Although Morikawa Yu had just insulted him with the word "mongrel," he didn't know whether it was an "insult" or not, since they speculated that Morikawa Yu was a pure-blooded dragon monarch.

Moreover, Morikawa Yu had just destroyed the Chicago military base with overwhelming force.

With such a noble status and powerful strength, it wouldn't be unreasonable to call this A-level hybrid a "miscellaneous cultivator" and make him kneel down.

Mr. Henkel shook his head slightly, patted the Mellon family's acting patriarch on the shoulder, and told him to step down.

“Prince Morikawa.” Mr. Han Gao turned to look at Morikawa Yu.

"It was wrong of us to provoke the children, but you've already destroyed the Chicago military base. Does that make you feel a little better?"

"If not, could you please tell us what you plan to do next?"

"You're asking me what else I want to do?" Morikawa Yu frowned.

"Didn't I tell you? What I do is none of your business, and there's no need for me to tell you."

Although he no longer had the same irritating tone and attitude as before, he still maintained a cold expression and imposing presence, looking exactly like a ruler who had long held a high position and had the power of life and death.

This is because he is imitating Mitsuko and Yoshiko.

Although the big fox usually appears soft, cute, and cuddly, she is the head priestess of Kyoto and the ruler of Kansai. When handling affairs, she inadvertently reveals an aura and majesty that surpasses all living beings.

He remembered it all, and when they were alone together, he would stroke her fluffy tail and enjoy the unexpected cuteness.

The big fox was really good to him. It never got angry no matter what he did. It would only curl up with its tail and hug him tightly when he was really uncomfortable, pinching his face as a small punishment.

He suddenly missed the big fox.

But he still has things to do now, to deal with the problems of North American mixed-race people and to get rid of these guys from bothering him.

He looked at Mr. Hango, his expression slightly somber.

Mr. Henkel paused for a moment: “Of course you don’t need to tell us what you want to do, but we still hope that you can show the tolerance of a monarch and forgive these children.”

Morikawa Yu frowned.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous to say these things to me at a time like this?"

"If you cause me trouble and I win, you ask me to forgive you. But if I lose, should I ask you to forgive me too?"

"And with such a confident tone, do you really think I am the 'King of the Sky and Wind'?"

"Forget it, I'll change the direction of the storm surge right away and head to your place, to Chicago. We can talk things over in person."

In the meeting room, the expressions of the parents, surrogate parents, and family representatives all changed.

They had just watched via satellite the destruction of the Chicago base and the aftermath of the storm surge.

The entire Chicago base was destroyed by the thunderstorm clouds and the tidal surge.

This is also why the Mellon family's acting head wanted to refute but didn't know how, and remained silent.

Because they are powerless to counter Morikawa Yu and have no countermeasures, their outcome in the face of such an attack will not be much better than that of Lieutenant General Elzam.

"Please don't do this, Your Highness."

The acting patriarch of the Mellon family stepped forward again, speaking humbly: "Whether you are the 'King of the Sky and the Wind' or not, your power is no different from His, and your status is certainly no less than His."

"We are willing to pay the price to beg for your forgiveness."

"We can give you anything you want, but please don't direct the storm surge toward downtown Chicago and cause further damage."

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "What do I want?"

"Do you think you possess something I desire?"

The Mellon family's acting patriarch's face stiffened.
