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

He stared at Tachibana Masamune in disbelief, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Uesugi Kotsuya was equally shocked.

He killed a lot of Dead Servants, and he basically wiped out all the Dead Servants in the underground who failed to reach the upper levels by himself.

But to his utter surprise, these Dead Servants were actually being kept at the very bottom of Genji Heavy Industries. He had initially thought they were brought in by the Oni Clan via submarine.

"I think this lousy family is doomed. Even the highest levels of the family are doing this kind of thing," Uesugi Etsushi thought to himself.

Nan Yun Yuyue began to explain:

“‘Discipline’ has a certain detection capability, so not long after I stepped into the elevator leading underground, I noticed the anomaly here.”

“I’m not sure if the card I have can unlock access to this floor, but I know… the black card in the patriarch’s hand definitely can.”

"You two are a perfect match. One is the head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and the other is the director of the Executive Bureau. You are the two most powerful people in the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

"Then you must also know who in the entire family has the authority to deceive everyone and keep so many dead servants here."

He gave Tachibana Masamune a meaningful look and continued:

“When the Oni invaded and the Deadpool horde broke out, Director Gen and I stayed on the Genji Heavy Industries site and had no chance of controlling this place.”

"So... who exactly is condoning this riot, and who might be manipulating it from the shadows? The answer... is already obvious."

Chapter 242 Uesugi Kotsu: I have children?

"Ha ha……"

Faced with Nagumo Ugetsu's accusations, Tachibana Masamune simply laughed.

His expression suddenly turned solemn, and his eyes were filled with cynicism.

“Mr. Nagumo, you were not previously affiliated with the Snake-Headed Eight Families, so you did not have a deep understanding of some things, which is why you misunderstood me.”

"Head of the Uesugi family, now is the perfect time for me to tell you something."

"I originally intended to tell you this in the reception room... It may seem a bit abrupt now, but it's also just the right time."

Tachibana Masamune's gaze finally fell on Genjiro, and he sighed, saying:

"I'm sorry for keeping this from you for so long. Of course, I had my reasons."

"After hearing about this part of my life, perhaps you will be able to understand me a little better."

"what!"

Just as Tachibana Masamune was about to speak, Uesugi Kotsu struck his right leg with the scabbard of his sword.

He barely exerted any force, yet he heard a "crack" sound, the sound of bones breaking.

Tachibana Masamune's face turned even paler instantly, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan. His right leg had been broken by Uesugi Kotsushi, and he was just about to utter his first words.

"A sinner of the family, how dare he stand there and speak with such self-righteousness."

Uesugi said coldly.

“Okay…” Tachibana Masamune’s face twisted slightly, but he couldn’t say anything more. He could only endure the excruciating pain in his legs and kneel on the ground.

“My real name is Bondarev, and I used to work for the KGB... and I was also a member of the ‘Delta Project’ at Black Swan Harbor.”

"The so-called δ Project was to use the most advanced in vitro fertilization technology at the time to try to create a batch of hybrids with dragon blood."

……

He slowly recounted the events of that year, Black Swan Harbor, Herzog, π and ω... one after another, words that Genjiro and Uesugi Kotsu had never heard before flowed slowly from his mouth.

The shock on their faces grew deeper and deeper.

"What I'm about to tell you is what I want to tell you."

Tachibana Masamune glanced at Genjiro first, then turned to Uesugi Kozuke, his tone carrying a hint of relief:

"The reason I did not inherit the royal blood is because my genetic sample comes from an ordinary descendant of the Ju family."

“But Zhisheng, you are different.”

"Your and your brother's genetic samples come from this person beside you—the former patriarch of the Snake Clan, the only and most powerful 'Emperor' of that era!"

"In other words, this patriarch of the Uesugi family is actually your father."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Genjiro and Uesugi Kotsugu were both stunned.

These words were like a bolt from the blue for the two of them.

Yuan Zhisheng never knew who his biological father was.

As far back as he could remember, he lived in the town of Shikari with his younger brother, Minamoto no Chiyome, and always believed that he was an adopted child.

When his adoptive father got drunk, he would complain that the child support payments were insufficient, so he always guessed that his biological father or mother was still alive.

Later, he was taken to the Snake-Headed Eight Family by Tachibana Masamune. However, after so many years, he still did not know who his biological father was, but under Tachibana Masamune's tutelage, he had long regarded him as a father figure.

Until now.

The shock that Uesugi Kotsuki felt was far greater than that of Genjiro.

He has always felt that 'royal blood' is a curse, and over the years he has been unwilling to have children, hoping only that this 'curse' will not be passed down.

It wasn't until he met Nan Yun Yu Yue and took her as his disciple that he found a new purpose in life, but he still didn't think he should have any more children.

But now, Tachibana Masamune is telling him that he has a son?

and many more!

He suddenly remembered what Nan Yun Yuyue had told him before.

In the text message, Nan Yunyuyue said that he felt the current director of the executive bureau seemed to have some connection with him...

So... all of this was actually foreshadowed?

Moreover... Kazama Ruri is actually Genjiro's younger brother.

So, they are both his sons?

Uesugi Kotsugu stood there dumbfounded. He hadn't shown this much shock even after killing so many Deadpools in the building, but Tachibana Masamune's few words had done so.

Tachibana Masamune gave Nagumo Ugetsu a deep look, his eyes filled with resentment towards the young man who had ruined so many of his plans, but the expression vanished in an instant, and he returned to his sighing expression.

"Head of the Uesugi family, this is what I was planning to tell you in the reception room. If you don't believe me, you can always do a paternity test."

“Paternity testing is not considered high-end technology nowadays. As long as you are willing to pay, any medical institution can tell you whether Zhisheng is your son or not.”

“What you said is very good,” Uesugi Kotsu said.

Tachibana Masamune had just breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, with another "snap," his left leg was also broken by Uesugi Kotsushi's scabbard.

Uesugi said coldly:

"Whether he is my son or not, there is no need to rush to do a paternity test now."

"What we're most concerned about right now is the Deadpool you've been keeping at the very bottom of the Genji Heavy Industries building."

"If you dare to change the subject again, it won't be as simple as breaking your legs. I'll saw off those two useless things of yours."

"hiss!"

Tachibana Masamune gasped in pain once more.

Uesugi Kotsugu's expression was cold. He gradually recalled the secrets he had witnessed when he was the head of the family, and a slightly frightening guess slowly rose in his mind:

"Continue speaking, and don't hide anything anymore."

Tachibana Masamune gritted his teeth and said:

"Later... Herzog and I blew up the entire Black Swan Harbor, and I even shattered Herzog's heart to ensure that I could have all of his research results to myself."

"I boarded the Lenin with you brothers and an embryo of an ancient dragon, heading towards Japan. But something unexpected happened en route."

"That embryo infected all the crew members on board. In the end, I could only escape the ship in a lifeboat with you, the young girl, and Erii, and that's how we made it to Tokyo."

"Eri? What's going on with her?"

Yuan Zhisheng asked.

He had thought that the story Tachibana Masamune was telling only involved himself, his younger brother, and Uesugi Koshi, but he didn't expect it to also involve Erii.

"Ugh……"

A bitter look appeared on Tachibana Masamune's face. "I thought only the crew members on the ship were contaminated, but in fact, my daughter Erii was also contaminated."

“I never dreamed that her constitution could accept dragon blood, which is why Erii has such a terrifying bloodline and such a terrifying word of power as ‘Judgment’.”

"But even now, due to pollution, Erii's bloodline has never been stable and there is always a risk of it getting out of control."

"And all of this... is because of my sins."

"Wait...you mean, Erii is your daughter?"

A storm raged in Yuan Zhisheng's heart.

He would never forget the first time he saw Erii. At that time, Erii was receiving treatment at the shrine because she had lost control.

He still remembered the cherry blossoms drifting in the shrine, the sound of wind chimes, and the girl on the hospital bed with her eyes closed, looking like a fragile piece of porcelain.

From then on, he always treated Uesugi Erii as his younger sister, as if he were trying to make up for the loss of his younger brother.

“That’s right… I’m sorry for keeping it from you for so long, but Erii is indeed my daughter,” Tachibana Masamune said softly.

"Her name should have been Tachibana Erii, but in order to conceal our blood relationship, I gave her the Uesugi surname..."

"Ugh……"

Just as Tachibana Masamune was about to get back into his story, Nagumo Ugetsu suddenly interrupted him:

"Why... are you still not telling the truth?"

Tachibana Masamune's expression changed:

"Mr. Nagumo, what do you mean by that? I stand by my words, Erii is indeed my daughter!"

"I swear on my honor that everything I just said about Black Swan Harbor and Erii is absolutely true!"

Nagumo Ugetsu didn't even look at him directly, but instead looked at Genjiro and said:

"Director Yuan, do you remember before we came underground?"

"At that time, I used my Word of Power to suppress Erii's tendency to lose control, and at the same time, I also sensed her bloodline rank."

"In 'Discipline's' perception, royal blood also flows within her, and it's quite clear that it originates from the same source as yours,"

"So, she is clearly your own sister."

His gaze returned to Uesugi Kotetsu, and he continued:

"So... she's also your daughter, Master."

"Nonsense!" Tachibana Masamune was about to retort, but Nagumo Ugetsu's "precepts" had already descended upon him once again.

"As you just said, paternity testing isn't exactly high-tech anymore. As long as you pay, you can quickly find out if several people are related by blood," Nan Yun Yuyue said leisurely.

"Once a paternity test is done, it will be clear very quickly whether Erii is related to you by blood."

"That's why I said that you still refuse to tell the truth because you have a secret you absolutely dare not reveal. You can only use this roundabout way to desperately cover up the filth in your heart."

“I’ve already given you a chance. Since you still won’t tell the truth, then I’ll ask you now.”

Having said that, Nan Yun Yu Yue's authority over 'Xin Yuan' was strengthened once again.

"You sank the Lenin to the bottom of the sea, and now you're raising dead servants here. Is your ultimate goal... to awaken the 'Emperor' who's sunk deep in the ocean?"

Nan Yun Yu Yue asked in a deep voice,

“I’ve looked through the remaining copies of the Imperial Annals before, and I also saw the mural in the Genji Heavy Industries not long ago, so I know what it contains. You can’t hide this from me.”

"I did this to delay Erii's loss of control..."

Tachibana Masamune gritted his teeth and persevered, but suddenly his mind was shaken.

He felt as if he were facing a real, living dragon; the oppressive aura was like a sharp knife, slowly dissecting his soul and forcing him to involuntarily reveal the truth:

“I am here to… find 'God'…”
