at the same time,

On the stretcher, Erii Uesugi's eyelashes trembled slightly before returning to calm.

Ding-dong-

Genjiro swipes the card to open the inner staircase door, presses the button for the target mezzanine, and his mind is in turmoil:

"I never expected... that Mr. Nagumo's 'precepts' would have such an effect."

As the director of the Executive Bureau, he instantly realized how significant Nan Yun Yu Yue was to the Snake Clan.

The fundamental reason why the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan have been at odds for so many years is the curse of their bloodlines.

If the hybrid bloodline of the White King did not have such a high rate of going out of control, how could the two major forces have been hostile to each other for thousands of years?

Could it be possible...?

Yuan Zhisheng had a vague guess in his mind, a guess that made him take a deep breath to suppress his surging excitement.

Just then, he received a message from his subordinate over the phone:

"what?"

"The head of the Inuyama family said he captured two high-ranking members of the Oni Clan?"

Chapter 237 Your Master is Also an 'Emperor'? Tachibana Masamune Calls

“I knew it. This time, the Ghosts couldn’t have just sent a bunch of Death Servants and ‘ghosts’ from prison. There must be high-ranking officers hiding in the shadows.”

Yuan Zhisheng's thoughts were in turmoil.

Just now, with the combined efforts of him and Nan Yun Yuyue, along with the surviving Executive Bureau agents hiding in Genji Heavy Industries, the invading Deadpool and 'Demon' were quickly wiped out.

Without high-level combat power like him and Nan Yun Yuyue, those 'ghosts' might have had some courage to resist.

But seeing that even their strongest members couldn't withstand a few strikes from Nanon Ugetsu and Genjiro, the Oni Clan's 'demons' quickly crumbled without a fight. Their initial arrogance during the invasion was completely extinguished, and many chose to surrender.

Because of the time constraints, Genjiro did not interrogate them personally.

But after questioning the remaining officers of the Enforcement Bureau and scanning the captured 'ghosts,' he did not find any of the individuals listed on the wanted list.

Clearly, they were not inside Genji Heavy Industries; they may have already escaped successfully.

So, after instructing his subordinates to expand the search area, he and Nangumo Ugetsu hurriedly went downstairs to help the members of the Snake Clan near Genji Heavy Industries end the battle.

Unexpectedly, shortly after killing the two dragon-shaped dead servants and suppressing Erii's signs of losing control, they heard such good news from the Inuyama family head.

The officer from the enforcement bureau who reported the news on the phone was equally excited. He paused for a moment and added:

"Chief, my colleagues have successfully escorted these two high-ranking members of the Ghost Clan back."

"Because access to the underground passage has not yet been granted, we have locked them in a mezzanine."

"By the way, one of the two ghosts we captured is none other than 'Ryoma,' the number three figure in the Ghost Clan."

"There is another one whose exact rank within the Oni Clan is unclear, but the Inuyama family head said that she is suspected to be a hybrid with the ability to control Dead Men."

!!!

Upon hearing this news, Genjiro's pupils contracted sharply, clearly more shocked than when he had heard anything else before.

They caught Ryoma?!

As the head of the executive bureau, he knew Sakurai Kogure's name all too well.

This is one of the top senior officers of the Fierce Ghost Clan. Normally, when the 'King General' and the 'Dragon King' do not make public appearances, she is in charge of handling all the affairs of the Fierce Ghost Clan.

The Ghost Clan's important base in Osaka—Gokurakukan—is where she is in charge of coordinating all matters.

Born into the Sakurai family, Sakurai Kogure was responsible for even more matters within the Oni Clan than the head of the Sakurai family was responsible for within the Hebi-Hachi family.

Genjiro was indeed having a headache dealing with this third-in-command of the Demon Clan.

Although Sakurai Kogure's combat strength was far inferior to his, under Sakurai Kogure's leadership, the Oni Clan amassed a large amount of money through the Gokurakukan.

Using this money, the Ghost Clan grew rapidly, purchasing illegal weapons, bribing government officials, and strengthening its members...

Even though the Snake-Headed Eight Families were powerful in Japan, they were not powerful enough to abolish the yen.

So they could only watch helplessly as huge sums of money traveled around the world through underground banks abroad, eventually ending up in the Ghost Clan's accounts in a bizarre way, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Capturing Sakurai Kogure now is tantamount to the Oni Clan losing an arm to the Snake-Headed Eight Family; they will find it difficult to find a capable assistant to handle all the complicated matters.

Genjiro was still reeling from the excitement of catching "Ryoma" and was about to say something when...

Unexpectedly, he heard from his subordinates that the Inuyama family head had also captured the half-breed who possessed the power of words to control the Dead Servants.

This made him even happier than catching Ryoma.

He had sensed something was off about these Deadpools back in Kobe.

He was chasing after Kazama Ruri and was about to capture her when a dragon-shaped dead servant suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

The timing was too coincidental. At first, he thought it was impossible for Deadpool to be controlled by a hybrid, so he simply assumed that being stopped by the dragon-like Deadpool at the crucial moment of the capture was just bad luck.

However, later, after killing the dragon-shaped Deadpool, while leading the Execution Bureau agents to eliminate other Deadpools roaming within Kobe,

Genji suddenly discovered that these Deadpools were more organized and disciplined than the likes he had killed before, and some of them even used the terrain and tactics.

If it were a regular Deadpool, how could this be possible?!

However, the number of Kobe's Dead Servants was not large, and they were quickly wiped out. In addition, when he encountered Nangumo Ugetsu, a boy who also had 'royal blood' flowing through his veins, Genji temporarily suppressed his doubts and assumed that those abnormal Dead Servants were the secret weapons of the Demon Clan.

He had anticipated that after capturing Kazama Ruri, the Oni Clan would definitely attempt to break him out of prison, but he did not expect their actions to come so soon, catching the Snake-Headed Eight Families completely off guard.

Tonight, the Oni Gang, along with a wave of Deadpools, swept through Tokyo's Toshima and Shinjuku wards, with surrounding areas also being affected.

In particular, these manipulated Dead Servants have caused countless deaths and injuries to the Snake Clan.

Although there are only two district-level units, this does not mean that the area targeted by the Oni Clan is too small. Rather, Tokyo is much larger than Kobe, and its regional divisions and layout are far more complex.

Therefore, even though the Oni Clan deployed almost all of their available Death Servants, they could only cover these two important urban areas and the outposts of the five families outside the Snake Clan.

As for other places that were not important to the Snake Clan, the Demon Clan did not focus their attacks on them.

When they fought these Dead Servants inside Genji Heavy Industries, their performance further solidified Genji's suspicions.

There's definitely someone controlling these Deadpools. It's just that the hybrid controlling them is too secretive and definitely not inside the building, so they haven't been able to be captured.

He had initially thought that the entity controlling Deadpool had escaped.

Unexpectedly... the head of the Inuyama family brought such crucial good news.

"You did a great job. Make sure to guard the mezzanine and don't let them escape."

"The head of the Inuyama family also came to this floor with us and hasn't left," the subordinate reported.

"it is good."

Yuan Zhisheng took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

So much has happened in the past two days that even he, the director of the executive bureau, is overwhelmed. In many situations, he feels powerless to cope.

In fact, it could be said that by capturing these two high-ranking members of the Demon Clan, he could finally provide an explanation for this major incident that directly erupted in Tokyo.

Genjiro's gaze swept over everyone inside the inner staircase, finally settling on Nagumo Ugetsu:

“Mr. Nagumo, an officer from the Execution Bureau just reported to me that the family has captured two high-ranking members of the Oni Clan who were lurking near Genji Heavy Industries.”

"Both of them are of great strategic value and should be able to offset the losses from the 'Dragon King's' escape."

But he couldn't help but sigh as he said this.

The underground passages of Genji Heavy Industries are still closed. The head of the Ryoma family has been transferred to Kobe, which means that they even have difficulty calling in submarines.

Now that so much time has passed... it's highly likely that Genji has been rescued by the rest of the Oni Clan.

Although capturing Sakurai Kogure and Mika Mika is equally important, he still hopes to capture Kazama Ruri, who has 'royal blood' flowing through her veins.

pity……

We'll have to wait until later.

Having suffered such heavy losses, the expansion of the Fierce Ghosts will inevitably be curbed, leaving them with no choice but to strategically retreat.

Genjiro knew that the Snake Clan would definitely take this opportunity to take more radical measures to wipe out the members of the Demon Clan, and a decisive battle between the two was almost a foregone conclusion.

Perhaps only then will he be able to regain control of his younger brother.

“He can’t escape.” Nan Yunyu smiled.

Yuan Zhisheng was somewhat puzzled.

In his view, the reason why the Demon Clan made such a big move, even to the point of disregarding casualties, was to rescue Kazama Ruri.

The executive agents inside Genji Heavy Industries were trapped on the ground, while the agents outside were clearing out the Deadpool. For the Oni Clan, their objective had been achieved.

In this situation, how could Kazama Ruri possibly not escape?

Seeing Genjiro's confusion, Nagumo Ugetsu explained with a smile:

"Before arriving at the Source Heavy Industries, I sent a message to my master, telling him that the Ghost Gang might break into the prison tonight, and asking him to help keep an eye on things."

"As long as he is there, no matter who the Ghost Gang sends, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

"But the young girl has royal blood flowing through her veins. With the regenerative power of 'royal blood,' once the effects of the tranquilizer wear off, her combat strength will quickly return..."

Yuan Zhisheng had only spoken a few words when he saw the confidence in Nan Yun Youyue's eyes, so he paused.

An incredible guess flashed through his mind:

"and many more……"

"Could it be... that your master also has 'royal blood' flowing through his veins?"

Nanon Ugetsu smiled without saying a word, but Genji felt that he understood everything.

He was immediately relieved. Kazama Ruri had already suffered some injuries in Kobe, and even with the strongest regenerative power of the royal blood, it was impossible for him to recover to his peak condition in less than a day.

Now that another "emperor" has come to stop him, he certainly won't be able to escape this time.

Yuan Zhisheng's last bit of worry vanished, leaving only a sense of relief.

Fortunately... the final result was good.

Ding-dong-

The elevator successfully reached the mezzanine where Uesugi Erii lived.

Genjiro held the stretcher by himself, while Junda Mana carefully carried Erii to the bed.

Seeing her serene face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Nagumo Ugetsu also let Misaki Miku sit on the sofa to rest.

She wasn't seriously injured; she was just exhausted from overusing her Words of Power. She'll recover in a few days.

Genji looked at Erii with concern, gave Junda Mana a few words of advice, and then left the room with Nagumo Uzuki.

At this moment, his thoughts were still somewhat turbulent:

"I never imagined that Nan Yun Yu Yue's master was also someone with 'royal blood' flowing through his veins..."

"In such a short time, I have actually encountered two inheritors of royal blood."

"only……"

"Does he have some connection with his family?"

Nangumo Ugetsu is still young, and the Snake-Headed Eight Families had not noticed her before, a fact that Genji could explain away by saying she was "young".

But if Nanon Ugetsu's master truly had royal blood flowing through his veins, he should have had interactions with the Snake Clan over the years.

Moreover, most of the mixed-race descendants of the White King remained in Japan, and Genji had never heard of the existence of an "Emperor" overseas.

Furthermore, the ability improvement of hybrids is rarely achieved through self-exploration like the "Sword God of Shili Slope"; they usually require external guidance.

In the past, Genjiro had always had doubts about the swordsmanship lineage of Nagumo Ugetsu. It was not until he learned that Ugetsu had a master that he was able to solve the mystery of "where he learned his swordsmanship skills".

"The sword techniques that Mr. Nagumo learned are all the most authentic Japanese classical swordsmanship. Only those who have a deep understanding of Japanese culture can understand this kind of swordsmanship."

"Moreover, his master must be an unimaginable master to have trained him to this level in such a short time."

The source of childishness is the way of the heart.

He had a vague feeling that Nanon Ugetsu's master definitely had a deep connection with the Snake Clan.
