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

“No…” Genji took a deep breath.

"Underground at Genji Heavy Industries, there is a tunnel near the Ganryu Research Institute... That is the location of the Iron Dome, and also Tokyo's underground drainage system."

“On ordinary days, the family usually uses it to transport contraband that is inconvenient to be inspected.”

“Since the drainage system hasn’t been shut down…Ruri Kazama can use it to escape now.”

Chapter 224 Uesugi Erii's Crisis of Losing Control

Yuan Zhisheng recounted the current situation to Nan Yunyuyue, but his emotions were so turbulent that he didn't know what to say.

He almost doubted he was seeing things on the control screen, but it clearly displayed:

[The current permissions for Genji Heavy Industries have been locked by the patriarch, and you do not have the authority to change them.]

Even though the Oni Clan has already invaded and the Deadpool has swept through the entire Genji Heavy Industries, under the strict hierarchical system of the clans, Princess Kaguya, as the artificial intelligence system of the Snake Clan, will still faithfully carry out the orders of the patriarch.

"How could this be? Has something gone wrong?"

Yuan Zhisheng said sternly.

"How could the patriarch order the sealing of the above-ground and underground passages of Genji Heavy Industries, but not the internal passages!"

"The situation is critical! In my capacity as Director of the Executive Bureau, I demand supreme authority to take control of Genji Heavy Industries!"

Yuan Zhisheng simply couldn't believe that his father would issue such an order ahead of time.

This order seemed utterly absurd to him.

Issuing such an order before the Oni Clan has even invaded is utterly pointless. It serves no purpose other than tormenting the Enforcement Bureau agents both on and off the ground.

However, if the demons actually invade, this order will be completely ineffective in defense.

If the underground area is infiltrated by the Ghost Clan beforehand, the Enforcement Bureau agents on the ground floor will be helpless.

Even if reinforcements arrive in time, they will be unable to enter the underground and stop them.

[Sorry, Director Yuan, you do not have permission to complete this operation.]

[Furthermore, I need to inform you that the patriarch has activated the emergency response plan, and this order cannot be lifted without the patriarch's command unless he dies.]

Text quickly appeared on the panel, explaining the current situation to Genji.

"Submarine! Where's the submarine?!"

"Immediately notify the head of the Ryoma family and have him quickly mobilize some small submarines from the Self-Defense Forces to see if they can enter the Iron Dome through the drainage channels and take control of the underground situation at Genji Heavy Industries!"

Yuan Zhisheng roared angrily.

wow——

Seemingly sensing Genji's anger, starlight-like rays of light shone down throughout the Kaguya Machine's server room.

The scattered starlight gathered together to form the face of a woman.

With her hair styled in a bun and her face gentle, she resembles a traditional Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko.

Princess Kaguya, now in her physical form, bowed slightly to Genji and said:

"Director Gen, your order has been sent to the communication device of Ryoma Genichiro, the head of the Ryoma family."

"However, I should remind you that after you returned to Tokyo, the head of the Ryoma family was dispatched to Kobe by the family patriarch to take charge of the aftermath of the Kobe turmoil."

"Furthermore, most of the family's submarines are currently docked at the Iron Dome Temple, with only a very small number not at Genji Heavy Industries."

"In other words, the submarines that the family can currently mobilize can only transport a very small number of Executive Bureau agents, and it is estimated that it will take at least half an hour."

"Hold!"

Yuan Zhisheng almost laughed in anger.

He had never felt such powerless anger before, but he never expected to encounter it so soon after returning to Genji Heavy Industries.

Yuan Zhisheng couldn't understand how anyone could seize the patriarch's authority and seal off the passage between the surface and the underground.

Without this order, given his position as the director of the executive bureau, he could have already brought the chaotic situation inside the building under control by closing the passageways.

Little did he know that all his plans before heading to Princess Kaguya's server room would be ruined by this order, which no one knew who had given it.

Even now, he refuses to believe that this order was personally issued by his father.

"It must be that the researchers from the Oni Clan have taken over Kaguya's authority."

"We can't count on Princess Kaguya now, so I have to personally quell the chaos at Genji Heavy Industries."

The source of childishness is the way of the heart.

Nangumo Ugetsu stood to the side, looking at Kaguya-hime who resembled a Yamato Nadeshiko, her eyes slightly narrowed, her thoughts swirling:

"Herzog is really ruthless. He's willing to go to such lengths to rescue Kazama Ruri."

He then thought that Herzog had spent many years cultivating his career in Japan, devoting countless efforts, all for the sake of embarking on that legendary path.

The reason he used two identities to serve as the supreme leader of the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan was precisely for this purpose.

But once one side loses its royal bloodline, it's as if the key that could help it realize its ultimate ambition has been destroyed.

If this path is cut off, what use is it for him to hold the highest power of the two super powers?

This is why Herzog was willing to take such a big risk to create the right opportunity to rescue Kazama Ruri.

After so many years of pretense, it's time to cash in.

Genjiro suppressed his anger, looked at Princess Kaguya, and said in a deep voice:

"Now, I demand that, with my authority as the Director of the Executive Bureau and the head of the Yuan family, I force you to issue me a temporary black card with the authority of the head of the family. I want to lead a team to deal with the chaos within the Yuan family's heavy industry."

"This is a mission requirement from the Execution Bureau!"

"As you wish." Princess Kaguya bowed again.

Just seconds later, a physical card that was no different from Genji's black card popped up on the control panel in the computer room.

Genjiro looked at Nami Ugetsu, handed him the black card, and sighed.

"Mr. Nagumo, the situation is extremely critical."

"Some members of the Demon Clan have usurped the patriarch's authority and forcibly disconnected the passageways between the Genji Heavy Industries above and below ground."

"Please come with me to another hidden room in the family compound. This matter is just as important as preventing Kazama Ruri from escaping, and in some ways even more important."

"I'll explain the details to you on the way."

"Oh?" Nan Yun Yuyue was a little surprised, but she quickly guessed what was going on.

"It should be related to Uesugi Erii."

As the secret weapon of the Snake Clan, Erii Uesugi possesses terrifying words of power such as 'Judgment', but her bloodline has always been unstable, and sometimes she even needs to undergo blood washing and serum injections to maintain normality.

Now that the underground passage has been cut off, even if Genjiro takes a submarine to detour to the Iron Dome Temple and then to the prison where Kazama Ruri is imprisoned, it will be far too late.

In that case, we must ensure Erii Uesugi's safety and absolutely prevent the losses from escalating.

Yuan Zhisheng made a relatively prudent decision.

The thought that their hard-won achievements would be taken advantage of by the Oni clan during a period of vulnerability in their family's defenses made Genji feel a pang of heartache.

He desperately wanted to do everything in his power to stop Kazama Ruri from escaping, but given the current situation, he had to consider the overall interests of the family and avoid causing even bigger problems.

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at the black card in her hand. Strange golden patterns were depicted on the black card, and the image formed was somewhat similar to the mural depicting the 'Emperor' that she had seen in the interlayer.

"A permission card at the level of the head of one of the three inner families?" Nan Yun Yuyue was somewhat surprised.

He never expected that Princess Kaguya would open such a black card. With this card, he could go to almost any location in Genji Heavy Industries.

Moreover... looking at the entire Snake Clan, only the patriarch Tachibana Masamune has authority that surpasses that of the heads of the three inner clans.

However, Nagumo Ugetsu wasn't too worried that Kazama Ruri would take the opportunity to escape.

Before he even visited the mezzanine, Uesugi Kotsu had already sent him a message saying that he had arrived at the underground passage of Genji Heavy Industries and was looking for the prison where Kazama Ruri was being held.

Just then, Princess Kaguya spoke up:

"Director Yuan, some of the monitoring equipment at Yuanshi Heavy Industries has been damaged, but some of it is still operational."

"I have sent the locations of Deadpool and the intruder that I detected to your phone. You can check them at any time."

"I hope this helps you."

"it is good."

Genji's expression betrayed his anxiety. He led Nagumo Ugetsu back to the elevator, explaining as they ran:

“Mr. Nagumo, I must go to the Uesugi family head’s room now. Her bloodline is extremely strong, no less than mine, but it has always been unstable.”

"The family strictly forbids her from going out on weekdays in order to prevent her bloodline from suddenly going out of control."

“I am very worried that the chaos that has broken out at Genji Heavy Industries will affect her.”

"If she loses control due to stimulation, the disaster she causes... will probably be no less than this invasion of the Fierce Ghosts."

He quickly pressed the elevator button, then swiped his black card, which granted him the authority of the bureau chief:

"I had already notified the two retainers of the Uesugi family, I don't know if they have arrived there in advance."

"correct,"

During the elevator's descent, Yuan Zhisheng suddenly thought of a question and asked Xiang Nanyun Yuyue:

"Two of the Uesugi family's retainers previously formed a music group called Sumimi. I wonder if you, Mr. Nagumo, have ever seen it?"

He suddenly remembered that his first meeting with Nan Yun Yuyue was actually in a livehouse, a live music venue.

He asked the question because he thought about Sumimi's previous performances.

The two members of the Sumimi duo have become retainers of the Uesugi clan?

Nanon Ugetsu was somewhat surprised.

But he still answered calmly:

"I had indeed heard of Sumimi before, after all, they are currently the most popular girl band in Japan, and you can see their promotional posters in many places."

"However, I was somewhat surprised that Sumimi belongs to the Snake Clan."

“They have only recently become retainers of the Uesugi family, but they have been family members for some time now,” Genji explained.

The elevator quickly arrived at the designated floor.

"There are no Deadpools outside, so it seems they haven't invaded this place."

Nanyun Yuyue said.

"That's good." Genjiro breathed a sigh of relief.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and the outside world appeared normal, seemingly undamaged.

Yuan Zhisheng felt a little relieved.

His worst fear was that the elevator doors would open to reveal Deadpool's corpses scattered everywhere, Erii covered in blood, on the verge of losing control.

Nan Yunyuyue didn't detect any trace of Deadpool here, which was one of the few pieces of good news he encountered tonight.

The two quickly arrived at Erii's residence. To prevent Erii from losing control, her living quarters were exactly the same as traditional Japanese houses.

The only clue that this place belongs to the Snake-Headed Eight Families is the ancient paintings in the corridor, which depict the images of the three gods: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.

"The head of the Uesugi family is not inside; there is no one inside."

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at Yuan Zhisheng and said.

"Could it be that she has already been taken away by Junda Mana and Mikami Hatsuka?"

Yuan Zhisheng hurriedly pushed open the door, and found the room empty except for a note placed on a teacup on the round table directly opposite the door.

[Young Master, we have received orders from Princess Kaguya to remove the head of the Uesugi family from the Genji Heavy Industries to prevent any potential attacks.]

We will risk our lives to ensure the safety of the Uesugi family head.

He then received a text message from Junda Mana informing him that Uesugi Erii had safely left Genji Heavy Industries and was now on her way to the Inuyama family's building.

"Ever since the Inuyama family building was bombed by the Oni Clan, the head of the Inuyama family has been stationed there recently."

"With his strength, protecting Uesugi Erii's safety should not be a problem."

Genjiro let out a breath.
