The Snake Clan has suffered such a great setback, and it is precisely at this time that they need a leader.

He, as the "Emperor" and patriarch, must step forward and become the soul of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Even if he himself does not want to bear this responsibility, he cannot abandon it.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, Genji looked up at Morikawa Yu and said, "I agree. You can take your sister away."

"However, I already know your identity."

"If anything happens to my sister, and you bully her, I will not let you get away with it, I will never let you get away with it."

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

Kazama Ruri slightly pursed her lips.

In his view, this kind of tough talk was really useless and only made him seem more powerless.

Anyway, he didn't feel threatened.

Morikawa Yuya also didn't feel threatened, only a little pity.

Despite being a "royal" with a slightly weaker bloodline, he was still a "royal" after all. However, he was constantly deceived by Herzog, to the point that he could no longer trust himself. He was also forced into various hesitations and concessions by Herzog and Kazama Ruri through psychological tactics.

Even so, he did not intend to return Erii to the Jade Serpent family.

Because the Snake Clan had no power to protect her, he had to take her back; only then could he feel at ease.

I just hope that as time goes by, Genjiro will be able to emerge from the shadows and accept reality.

Whether it's recognizing the true feelings of those around you or making a decision to give up everything and seek freedom, it's better than being in this state now.

"Okay." Morikawa Yu nodded: "I always keep my word."

He looked at Kazama Ruri.

"let's go."

Chapter 476: The matter of my sister being taken away and possibly having a brother-in-law.

Ruri Kazama nodded slightly.

He shifted his feet, stroking the hilt of the sword in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the family heads one by one, finally settling on Genjiro.

“Brother… Although you are my brother, you killed me because of that bastard Herzog’s schemes. Now that bastard is dead, it doesn’t mean I forgive you.”

Even if he was plotting against me, you were the one who burned me to death in the end.

"I will never forget the day I greeted you with a smile, but you stabbed the spider blade into my heart, crushing my heart and internal organs to pieces, and then threw me into a dry well to burn me to death."

"And you..." He looked at the heads of the families: "...Forget it, why bother arguing with you? You're all just a bunch of fools like my brother."

He turned around, sheathed his sword, and went to the edge of the balcony.

Morikawa Yuya walked to the edge of the balcony.

"Wait..." Genji suddenly took a step forward.

Morikawa Yu and Kazama Ruri turned to look at him.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Could you let me see my sister one more time?"

Morikawa Yu frowned slightly: "You want to see her again?"

To be fair, Genjiro is Erii's older brother, so it's understandable that he wanted to see her again.

But this is the home ground of the Snake Clan.

He was a little worried.

Finally, Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but not here."

"Can't it be here?" Genji paused for a moment, then sighed self-deprecatingly, "That's right. We, the Snake Clan, are the ultimate path, and we've made such a huge mistake. It's normal that you don't trust us and don't want to bring her to us."

"Just let me have a video call with her, let me see what she looks like, and see how she is now, that's all."

"Okay." Morikawa Yu nodded. "We can do it now."

He reached out and touched the left earpiece: "EVA, prepare for the holographic projection."

EVA's voice came through his headphones: "Of course, but there aren't any security cameras in the little princess's room or the surrounding area. How am I supposed to project her? Do I need to create a model and animation?"

"It's alright, watch me." Morikawa Yu shook her head gently.

He focused his mind on the space of the Imperial Seal Tent and found the area where he had settled in his hotel suite.

Within the area, one can see a building with only its sides and top as exterior walls, the rest being concrete facades. It controls the power of space, connecting the interior within.

Soon, a beam of light formed in the center of the EVA mainframe area, which gradually transformed into a structure resembling the interior of a room.

The interior walls, floors, bed, chandelier, and ceiling are all vividly depicted, making it seem as if everything inside the suite has been transported to the main console area.

Erii was fast asleep on the bed.

It's only a little past four in the morning. Even for good kids who go to bed early and get up early, it's not time to get up yet.

Of course, if you're still awake and staying up all night, that's a different story.

Erii is clearly a good child.

She lay on the large bed in the suite, covered with snow-white silk velvet, sleeping on her side, only revealing her slender, fair neck and half of her arm.

Generally speaking, people's sleeping postures are not very attractive, and even the sleeping postures of beautiful young girls can sometimes be disappointing. However, her sleeping face is very beautiful, just like Sleeping Beauty in the Grimm's fairy tale.

No, even Sleeping Beauty isn't as beautiful as her.

She possesses a captivating, gentle, and fantastical Japanese beauty.

The high-purity dragon blood granted her superhuman strength, allowing her skin to always maintain a beautiful condition—fair, delicate, and smooth like solidified cream, seemingly reflecting a faint glow under the pure white chandelier.

"This is incredible, is this magic from your world?"

EVA's body was projected from the main unit screen, walked into the room, and reached out to touch the back of the sofa in the middle.

Lights converge and transform into twinkling starlight.

Morikawa Yu shook his head slightly: "No, it's just a way of using the spatial power in this space, roughly similar to... 'Mirage Tower'."

“I projected the light and shadow from where she was here, making it look like I teleported her here.”

"Actually, she is still resting in the same place."

“Interesting. This power is completely different from Word Magic. I’m becoming more and more interested in your world.” EVA smiled faintly.

She was actually a surreal beauty, but she never smiled and always had a cold face or a look of disgust. In addition, she was only a projection and had no physical form, so Morikawa Yu always forgot what she looked like and just treated her as a super console.

"If you're interested, I'll show you next time," Morikawa Yu said casually.

His consciousness left the Goshuincho space and looked at Genjiro standing among the family heads: "EVA has prepared the holographic projection channel."

Genji immediately nodded: "Okay, I will grant Kaguya-hime the right to control the holographic projection."

"However, there is no holographic projection equipment at 'Xingshen Temple', so there is no way to project anything. 'Strategic Department' can, though, as it is located outside 'Xingshen Temple'."

Morikawa Yu: "Then let's go there."

“Hmm.” Yuan Zhisheng turned around.

Suddenly, he remembered that the senior executives he had gathered were still in the "Strategy Department." He picked up his phone and said, "Sakura, ask Yasha and the others to clear out the 'Strategy Department' of the elders and executives."

"Yes." Sakura Yabuki's voice immediately came through the phone.

On the other side, Sakura Yabuki put down her phone, walked towards Yasha and Crow, and whispered the order to them.

About a minute later, Genjiro, Ryoma Genichiro, and the other four family heads walked out of the passage of "Awakening Temple" and came to the "Strategy Department". Only Sakura Yabuki, Yasha and Crow were left standing on one side in the Strategy Department.

Morikawa Yu and Kazama Ruri also came in.

Morikawa Yu looked around the spacious, Japanese-style conference room, which was covered with tatami mats, and nodded: "EVA, turn on the projection."

"Hmm." EVA: "Projecting."

Soon, EVA released the spatial energy projection she had just recorded in front of the main unit area and projected it into the center of the conference room.

Genjiro gazed at Erii's peaceful sleeping face in the projection, his gaze suddenly softening.

He had always treated Erii as his younger sister, but he was actually very afraid of her, fearing that she would suddenly go berserk, lose control of her Words of Power, and go on a killing spree.

So he agreed with the family's decision to lock her in the vault of the medical area at the deepest part of the building.

This vault has been modified to be impenetrable even by bunker-buster missiles, and it is surrounded by multiple security checkpoints, making it arguably the safest place in the world.

Apart from the girls in the care team who usually look after her, no one can get close to her.

But last night, someone still took her away.

After the recorded projection ended, Genji turned to look at Morikawa Yu: "Last night... about seven or eight hours ago, I received a report from Kaguya-hime that someone had taken Erii away."

"At the time, I thought, how is that possible? She was locked up in such a deep place, how could anyone take her away?"

"But I never imagined that someone could actually take her away, take her from the deepest vault in the most heavily guarded medical area of ​​the building..."

"And it looks like you slept with my sister."

"Should I call you brother-in-law? Or should I pick up a knife and chop you into a dozen pieces, you bastard?"

Yuan Zhisheng said quietly.

That's what he said, but in reality, Genji was relieved.

Although Erii was covered by a blanket, making it impossible to tell whether she was disheveled, had been sexually assaulted, or had been defiled, he could tell that Erii was in very good condition.

If Morikawa Yu really did something to her, she definitely wouldn't be the way she is now.

Moreover, Morikawa Yu came with Chizuru. Although Chizuru doesn't acknowledge him as her brother, she wouldn't disown Erii as her younger sister.

Since the young girl did not show hostility towards Morikawa Yu, but instead seemed to support him, it means that he is not a beast in human clothing and did not do anything improper to his innocent, cute, and ignorant sister.

"Thank you," Yuan Zhisheng said softly.

“Since she was taken away, I’ve thought about what kind of treatment she might have suffered, what might have happened to her, whether she was unhappy, and whether she was afraid.”

"She has never left home alone since she was a child."

"Although she always wanted to run away from home, she never went too far. The farthest she went was to the traffic lights at the street corner outside the building, where she cried while looking at the empty street and wrote to me, saying 'The world is so big.'"

"You're the first person to take her away from home, if... that vault can really be called 'home'."

"But that doesn't mean I'll accept you as my brother-in-law."

"In my eyes, you're just a bastard who suddenly appeared and took my sister away."

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment: "I... I didn't want to be your brother-in-law, I just wanted to cure her."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng frowned and gave him a deep look.

The yaksha and the crow standing in the corner exchanged glances: "Where is the young master's sword?"

Crow adjusted his glasses: "How would I know? Young Master usually carries his own sword. You were the one who helped him carry it once."

Genji turned around and glared at the two of them, then looked at Morikawa Yu again.

“Besides that, you have indeed helped the Snake Clan a lot. Without you, it would have been difficult for us to see through that bastard Herzog’s scheme.”

"I will always think that the little girl is a man-eating demon... Anyway, thank you."

He bowed to Morikawa Yu.

"Then, there's the matter of forming an alliance. We, the Snake Clan, are the Yakuza of Japan. Although we dare not say that we are the masters of the Yakuza, we at least control the vast majority of them."

“We maintain Japan’s underground order and have some influence over the government.”

"We might find it difficult to win in a direct confrontation with the academy, but it won't be easy for the academy to deal with us either."

Morikawa Yu nodded: "I know. If a powerful enemy comes, I will help you. As long as you tell EVA through Kaguya, I will receive your message and come here."

Genjiro: "If you need help, you can also have EVA contact Princess Kaguya."

The heads of the families exchanged glances.

Just moments ago they were worried about whether Genjiro could shoulder the responsibilities of the family head, but now it seems that Genjiro has not been discouraged and is still able to represent the family in negotiations.

"And then there's the Demon Clan, the Child Girl..." Genji looked at Kazama Ruri.

Kazama Ruri frowned slightly: "Don't look at me. I don't intend to get involved in the affairs of the Demon Clan. They were originally just pawns gathered by that bastard 'King General' to be used."

"Therefore, all the officers of the Demon Clan are referred to by the names of shogi pieces. Whether it is my subordinates 'Gold General,' 'Silver General,' 'Kei Ma,' or even me, the 'Dragon King,' or his fake identity, the Shadow Warrior 'King General,' they are all his pieces."
