We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

“The entire building has been searched, except for this one room.”

“A member of the Inuyama family named Inuyamada said that this is a place cherished by the head of the family, and no one other than a member of the Inuyama family is allowed to approach it without the head of the family’s permission.”

"So I have been waiting here for you."

Inuyama Ga laughed and said:

"So that's how it is. No wonder you've been standing here the whole time."

"Actually, there's nothing inside, just some old items from the Inuyama family. There's nothing that's shameful."

"I know Inuyamada. He's an administrative officer in the family. He's very methodical and sometimes doesn't know how to be flexible. I hope Director Gen won't blame him."

“Of course not,” Genjiro said with a smile. “Such a loyal subordinate deserves more than a reward; how could we punish him?”

"Come with me, Director Yuan." Inuyama He walked straight to the door.

"You've already given me a lot of face by not using the Enforcement Bureau's search warrant to force your way in. In return, you can naturally come in and take a look at what's inside."

"Thank you, Head of the Inuyama family."

Yuan Zhisheng followed behind him and stepped into the room.

Before me lay a small mountain of white paper with black ink and brown-yellow file folders, the floor covered with documents, and a dozen or so bookshelves that had been pushed to the ground.

The intruders carried out a brutal and inhumane destruction on this meticulously organized archive, leaving everything inside in complete disarray.

Inuyama He looked at everything around him without changing his expression and continued walking inside.

Genji looked around, pondering silently, and followed behind him.

There were so many documents scattered inside that sometimes Inuyama He would bend down and stuff some of the fallen photos back in, or put them on the cabinet.

Genjiro wanted to reach out and help pick up some, but Inuyama He waved him off.

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll have the rest of the Inuyama family come and take care of it."

"Besides, this isn't the really important place."

He righted a tilted bookcase, then stepped over the empty space it had created and came to the cabinet next to the one with the hidden door.

Not far away lay the body of Inuyama Kui, whose blood had already congealed.

Inuyamada did not touch his younger brother's body, leaving it as it was before.

Inuyama He kicked it aside and looked at the small cabinet.

The cabinet had obviously been moved, and the hidden small door was now exposed.

"These are some of my treasured possessions, not from the Inuyama family."

"Patriarch Yuan, please come in."

Inuyama congratulated.

His title changed subtly, from Director Gen of the Executive Bureau to Director Gen of the Genji Clan.

This demonstrates respect for the bloodlines of the three inner families, indicating that one's status is not solely based on family position.

After all, he had previously served as the director of the executive bureau of the Japanese branch, and at that time, Genji was not even born yet.

"Head of the Tachibana family, Masamune, really knows how to find people... Where did you find the Minamoto bloodline, and the head of the Uesugi family, from...?"

Inuyama He had always had this question in his mind.

However, since they have already passed the bloodline test within the family, it means that the bloodline of the three inner families in their bodies is not faked, and Genjiro and Uesugi Erii are indeed members of the family.

Besides Tachibana Masamune's own exceptional abilities,

It was precisely because he carried a portion of the Ju family bloodline and solved the problem of the family's lack of high-level hybrids that he ascended to the position of patriarch.

He suppressed his questions and went inside.

next moment,

A storm was brewing in his heart.

The alchemy chest has been opened.

"How can it be!"

As the one who personally placed those ancient scrolls into this alchemical box, Inuyama He naturally knew the conditions for opening it.

Without the bloodline of an 'Emperor', this box will not react at all. If you try to force it open, it will only trigger its self-destruct program.

But now, the latch on that box has been opened.

Inuyama He walked forward in disbelief, then turned back to look at Genjiro.

He was certain that Genjiro hadn't actually entered the room at all, so the person who opened the box definitely wasn't him.

Inuyama He looked at the Imperial Chronicles that had been rescued from the shrine.

Some of these silk booklets remained where they were, while others were placed on top of the box.

Although they were extremely valuable, and would have been the subject of a frenzy if discovered by the Secret Service, the person who opened the box did not take them.

"wrong!"

Inuyama He suddenly remembered something.

Although it was a very distant memory, he still clearly remembered writing on a piece of paper why he had placed these scrolls there and explaining the conditions for opening them.

Now, that letter has been taken away.

"Could it be that there are beings who possess royal blood?"

Inuyama He was deep in thought.

The creator of this alchemy box was a former patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and naturally possessed the bloodline of an emperor.

His purpose in creating this box was to leave something for the next head of the family.

However, as time passed, for some unknown reason, the box eventually ended up in the hands of the Inuyama family.

When Inuyama He found it among his deceased father's belongings, the box was not closed, but was quietly placed under his bed.

Inuyama He never imagined that his father, who had been brainwashed by war theories, could actually do something even remotely rational.

In his will to himself and his sister, he explained the conditions for opening the box and instructed them to hand it over to the next patriarch, hoping that he could help the Inuyama family rise again.

However, Inuyama He did not live to see the patriarch who could revive the Inuyama family, as the Uesugi clan had completely abandoned the family after the Uesugi-Echigo War.

But unexpectedly, he was greeted by Angers from the Peruvian Party.

With Angers' help, he became the first director of the Japanese branch's executive bureau.

Coupled with Inuyama He's personal abilities and the immense changes he experienced in his life, his heart was far more resilient than before. In this way, he led the Inuyama family step by step from the weakest of the Snake-Headed Eight Families to gradually becoming stronger.

Inuyama He hasn't forgotten his past; he still remembers everything from his childhood.

Seeing these things here now involuntarily evokes memories of the last century.

"There are other people..."

He glanced at Yuan Zhisheng beside him without making a sound, his thoughts swirling.

Since someone had already opened the box, and that person wasn't Genjiro, he needed to think carefully about what he was about to say.

Inuyama He recalled the text message he had received not long ago.

The content of the text message itself is not surprising, but when combined with the sender's nickname, it becomes quite unbelievable.

"Could it be him...? No, it can't be him."

Inuyama He thought to himself.

“He has become disillusioned with the family…and has long since stopped participating in family affairs.”

"We need to re-examine all the employees in the building, as well as the guests who visited today, but we can't rule out the possibility that it's a hidden figure from the Ghost Gang."

Inuyama He was startled.

If such a level of being truly existed among the Demons, it would be a disaster.

"And...there's that little child..."

He felt that his brain capacity was almost insufficient.

Over the years, Inuyama He only knew the general location of Uesugi Koshi, but he never went to find him in person or inquire about his current situation.

After all, Uesugi Etsu was the previous emperor of the Snake Clan, and it was rare for someone in the clan to know his whereabouts. If he were to pry into his privacy, he might offend him.

"It can't be an illegitimate child, can it..."

Inuyama He had this guess for no apparent reason.

"Let's ask Inuyamada later. He just interacted with that boy, so he should know something about him."

"However, he will probably have to stay in the hospital for a while because of the attack."

"At that time, we'll have some members of the Inuyama family investigate the situation privately and find out the details, but we won't report it to the family or the Executive Bureau for the time being."

He made a decision immediately.

After thinking it over, Inuyama He turned around and looked at Genjiro, who had been waiting on the side.

"Patriarch Yuan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"These are items I recently acquired from elsewhere at a high price. They are some items that my family lost. I wonder if you would be interested."

He took all the silk booklets out of the box and threw them to Genjiro, leaving him with no free time.

Then, Inuyama He quietly closed the box again.

He thought to himself:

“Genjiro…you and your adoptive father returned to the Snake Clan too late. There are some things you don’t understand, and you don’t know the effects of this box. We can only rely on these silk booklets to keep you calm for now.”

…………

…………

The crisis that suddenly broke out in Tokyo gradually subsided after various parties intervened.

Not only the Hebi-Hachi family, but also some officials in Tokyo's Seikai district are helping the Hebi-Hachi family suppress the heat of this matter in order to eliminate the negative impact.

Although the Ghost Gang suffered some losses, they were not seriously injured and continued to hide, lurking in the shadows.

Inuyama He displayed his top-notch eloquence, honed from being a pimp since his teens, combined with his decades of experience as a family head, which convinced Genji Shiki, who had just become the head of the family's executive bureau, to solemnly take the silk booklets back with him.

"Something like toilet paper—you could say it's useless, but you can't live without it..."

Inuyama He recalled his mental journey when he first rescued these items.

He watched as Genjiro led the family's executive bureau agents away, then ordered the Inuyama family's subordinates to cremate Inuyama Kui's body and clean up all the remaining traces in the room.

the other side,

Nan Yun Yuyue placed the letter left by Inuyama He in a hidden compartment in her desk.

After surviving an attack by the Oni Gang, he immediately received a consolation text message from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

The Inuyama family's copyright company also sent an apology letter and compensation to all employees or visitors who were in the building that day in an official tone, and the matter was slowly brought to a close at the request of all parties.

"The Fierce Ghosts..."

"They actually dare to mess with me... They're getting more and more outrageous. Is Dr. Herzog still setting things up, waiting to move forward with his plans?"

"I'll surprise you sooner or later."

At home, Nan Yun Yuyue calmed her emotions, pondered something, and waited for tomorrow to arrive.

Time passed tacitly among all parties.

the next day,

Rehearsal time.

After yesterday's incident, the daily rehearsals seem all the more precious.

Nan Yun Yuyue arrived at Yuzawa Coffee Shop twenty minutes early.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the store, he saw Toyokawa Shoko already sitting at the round table where he often sat, waiting for him.

"You're here so early."

Nan Yun Yu Yue casually remarked.
