I'm having fun in Tokyo

This name comes from the Warring States period in ancient times.

In that era when everyone lived in fear, life was as fleeting as a dream, uncertain from morning till night.

To protect themselves, lords or powerful figures often searched for people with similar appearances in various places to guard against assassins and ensure their own safety.

Such a double is called a Shadow Warrior.

His shadow warriors are the same, but even stronger and more useful.

He gave these stand-ins plastic surgery, hypnotized them, and injected them with various gene evolution drugs, enhancing their strength and physique to a level close to that of S-class hybrids, giving them immense power.

Although these drugs with severe side effects would destroy their minds, turning them into no different from Deadpool, he did not need these Shadow Warriors to have self-awareness.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control these shadow warriors and install hypnotic devices in their minds.

After stroking the woman's corpse for a while, Herzog stood up.

He took the towel from the shadow warrior and wiped his body while looking at the woman on the bed whom he had already strangled to death.

This woman was also someone he found using a shadow warrior.

He really enjoys the feeling of indulging his desires.

Especially since he pretends to be someone else day after day, he needs to release his stress properly so that he can empty himself and pretend to be the respected head of the Snake Clan, Tachibana Masamune.

Fortunately, he is not only "Tachibana Masamune", but also "Osho", the leader of the Oni Clan, and has many body doubles.

When he's alone, he can have a shadow warrior find women for him and enjoy them secretly.

"It's still not very pleasant," Herzog sighed.

"If only we could find the White King's Egg and then become the new White King through the Path to the Underworld, we wouldn't have to be so secretive anymore."

Thinking of this, Herzog's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

He has always had a plan.

The core of this plan is the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan.

The Kojiki, a record of mixed-race individuals in Japan, documents the history of the Hebi-Hachi family and the Oni-shu.

Historically, their ancestors were descendants of the White King, influenced by the White King's blood, a super hybrid race known as "Emperor".

The White King left a path to the underworld for his descendants. It is said that by walking this path, they can become pure-blooded dragons and possess supreme power.

But in reality, this was a trap, a path laid by the White King to revive himself.

In the history of dragons, the White King is of the same rank as the Black King, and is even greater than the four monarchs. However, he is by no means a benevolent ancestor who changed the bloodline of people with good intentions, nor does he have the power to turn hybrids into pure-blooded dragons.

The path to the underworld He left behind was merely a lure for His descendants to find Him and obtain the "Holy Grail" and the "Holy Remains".

The Holy Grail is His blood, and His bones are His remains.

When one of His descendants truly finds the "Holy Grail" and the "Holy Relics" and embarks on this path, His consciousness hidden within the "Holy Relics" will take over the consciousness of that descendant.

Then this body will become the vessel for His resurrection, and He will be reborn to rule the world.

The Snake-Headed Eight Families were also aware of this matter, so they consistently prevented those who wanted to find the "Holy Grail" and the "Holy Remains" from repeating the disaster.

However, the Snake-Headed Eight Families did not know that there was actually a way to obtain the power of the White King without being parasitized by him, and thus replace him as the new White King.

He knew this method.

He found this method in the manuscripts and notes of his former enemy, Bondarev.

If he can find a perfect vessel that the White King can parasitize, and then drain the blood from that vessel when the White King spawns and revives, he can transfer the blood to himself and gain the White King's power.

Moreover, because the White King's will resides in his bones and his blood contains only pure power, there are no hidden dangers.

The old White King, drained of his blood, will only serve as a stepping stone for him to become the new White King.

As for the identity of the container, it is Erii, the embryo that Bondarev brought from the Black Swan Harbor Research Institute.

The embryo has now grown into a beautiful young girl, not only stunningly beautiful but also possessing immense power.

He felt the urge more than once, fantasizing about what an exquisite pleasure it would be to possess her body.

Unfortunately, Erii's bloodline is so dangerous, and she can go berserk, so it's not easy to touch her, and as a vessel, she cannot be damaged.

Moreover, as an "elder," with so many people watching his every word and action, he couldn't do what he wanted and could only vent his desires in private with the women found by the shadow warrior.

To silence them, he even had to dispose of their bodies to cover his tracks.

Herzog sighed and patted the Shadow Warrior on the shoulder: "Dispose of the body, feed it to the Death Servants below or burn it, don't leave any trace."

The shadow warrior nodded silently.

Herzog went to the bathroom next door, washed himself, changed his clothes, and then walked out of the dimly lit room, turning back to lock the heavy alloy door behind him.

There was a secluded passageway outside, and this was the only room there.

Officially, this is where the patriarch interrogates family traitors, and no one is allowed to approach.

So no one would dare to come here.

He can also do what he wants to do with peace of mind.

Suddenly, Herzog's expression turned serious, his face darkened, and he exuded an imposing aura, displaying the demeanor of a yakuza patriarch, just like Tachibana Masamune, the patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

At the entrance to the passage, two family members jogged out, stopped at the entrance, and bowed to him.

"Mr. Masamune, you've finally figured it out!"

Herzog snorted and walked towards them: "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

The two exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and said, "It's...it's a very serious matter! Erii-san is missing!"

"Eri is missing?" Herzog was taken aback.

He frowned slightly.

"Has Princess Kaguya contacted the main control room? Erii is probably in some passageway in the building, right?"

Erii would occasionally run away from home, but she had never left the Genji Heavy Industries building, so his first thought was that she might have run away to "play" again.

The two immediately shook their heads: "Lady Kaguya has already searched, and there is no trace of Miss Erii in any of the building's passageways."

She speculated that someone had taken Erii away.

Herzog's expression instantly turned grim: "Someone took Erii away?"

"Then why aren't you going to go find them?!"

"Yes!" the two immediately responded loudly, "Young Master has already ordered everyone to search for Miss Erii!"

"Mr. Masamune, you were in the interrogation room for traitors and were unaware of this matter, so the young master ordered us to wait for you outside the interrogation room!"

"If you come out, he asked us to invite you to the strategy department!"

Herzog glared coldly at the two of them.

"Take me to the Strategy Department!"

A few minutes later, Herzog arrived at the strategic department on the 30th floor of the building.

Someone in the strategy department was already waiting for him.

Upon seeing him appear, the man immediately bowed in greeting: "Mr. Masamune."

"Where is Chisei?" Herzog asked coldly.

Genjiro is the head of the Genji family. The young man he raised is also a super hybrid "Emperor".

Those two people just now said that Genjiro was making arrangements in the Strategic Department and sent people to look for Erii, but he didn't see her in the Strategic Department.

“Here’s what happened, Mr. Masamune.” The man immediately bowed his head and said, “Twenty minutes ago, Sasaki Chiyo, the head of the second nursing team in the medical ward who was taking care of Ms. Erii, discovered that Ms. Erii was missing.”

"She reported this to Lady Kaguya."

"Lady Kaguya mobilized the entire building's surveillance system and confirmed that Miss Erii was not in the building, nor was there any trace of Miss Erii leaving in the surrounding area. She concluded that someone had taken Miss Erii away and notified the Director of the Execution Bureau, Lord Genjiro."

"Lord Genjiro instructed Princess Kaguya to thoroughly investigate all transportation hubs, including airports, train stations, ports, and subways... but they still couldn't find Miss Erii."

"Lord Genjiro is worried and has led the Execution Bureau to search everywhere."

"He said he was better at practical work, so he went to see Ms. Erii in person and asked her to take charge of personnel scheduling if she came."

Herzog glared at him: "Then what are you doing here? Have you found Erii?"

The man bowed his head again: "Reporting to Mr. Masamune, we have not yet found Miss Erii, but we have checked the surveillance footage of all transportation hubs and roads leading out of Tokyo, and our preliminary assessment is that she should still be within Tokyo."

Herzog breathed a slight sigh of relief: "That's good."

Although we don't know who took Erii away, as long as she's still in Tokyo, there's still a chance to find her.

He walked to the center of the strategic department, where the elders of the family were sitting.

They were all leaders of underworld gangs. Although their status was not as high as that of the heads of various families, they were very prestigious and were equivalent to elders of the families during the Warring States period.

He looked at the old people and asked the person who had just reported, "Princess Kaguya said someone took Erii away. Are you sure who that person is?"

The person who had just given the report came up and shook his head: "No."

"Lady Kaguya retrieved all the surveillance footage from the outer corridor and buffer zone of the medical area. She only saw the doors in the outer corridor opening one by one, but no one appeared."

"Furthermore, there is no record of the vault door in Ms. Erii's room ever being opened."

"How could this be?" Herzog exclaimed in astonishment.

Even the most concealing incantation, "Netherworld Illumination," leaves a faint black aura at the user's location. How could it possibly leave no trace at all?

"Mr. Masamune, what should we do next?" the person reporting asked cautiously.

The older folks in the strategy department were also looking at him.

Herzog pondered: "Keep searching! Then check the family's ancient texts for records of this kind of Word of Power, and then compare it with all known Words of Power!"

"We must find Erii, and find the person who took her away!"

"Yes!" the reporter bowed.

He looked up: "So, what should the medical ward care team do after discovering that Ms. Erii was taken away?"

Herzog paused slightly: "The care team..."

In order to supervise and care for Erii, the family selected a team of family members to care for Erii.

Without exception, all the members of these groups were beautiful young women with excellent bloodlines, especially the second group leader named Sasaki Chiyo, who had a good temperament and a great figure.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Eri was taken away by someone, and they, as her caregivers, are highly suspicious."

"Lock them up first and send them to the detention room outside my traitor interrogation room for strict guarding."

"I will interrogate them myself tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" The reporter bowed again.

Suddenly, Herzog's expression changed slightly, and his hand trembled.

"What's wrong, Mr. Masamune?" The person reporting noticed his change and couldn't help but ask.

“It’s nothing,” Herzog shook his head.

"I suddenly remembered that I left something in the traitor interrogation room. I need to go back there."

He turned and walked back the way he came.

The reporter looked at his retreating figure with suspicion, not daring to ask any questions, and lowered his head to step aside.

Soon, Herzog returned to his "rebel interrogation room".

The shadow warrior was still dealing with the dead woman.

Herzog glanced at the shadow warrior, closed the outer alloy door from the inside, entered a secluded room inside the "interrogation room," used his fingerprint to open a hidden door, and turned on the mainframe computer inside.

This computer is connected to his warehouse's multi-layered encrypted surveillance system, which alerts him when someone enters the warehouse and then records that person's face.

This multi-layered encrypted monitoring system will also issue an alarm if someone attempts to crack the monitoring.

He only rushed back because he felt the vibration of the alarm on his body.

Herzog enabled encrypted monitoring.

The surveillance footage that was just captured will immediately play automatically on the screen.
