When he signed the agreement with the Snake-Headed Eight Families, the Snake-Headed Eight Families were at their weakest point in history. Faced with Angers, who represented the entire Secret Party, they had no choice but to agree to his demands.

However, over the years, based on the students who have come to Kassel College for exchange programs, he has also been able to sense that the Japanese branch is becoming stronger and stronger.

But the speed at which the attack by the Oni Clan and Deadpool was suppressed was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

"In short, whoever is raising the Dead Servants, we must obtain accurate information about them. We may need to inquire about this from the Snake Clan."

“And there’s something else,” Angers continued.

"This incident also happened in Japan, but near Japanese waters."

"Director Akadula, why don't you tell us what happened?"

"No problem, Principal."

The equipment department suddenly changed the style of the LCD screen in the conference room, transforming from Akdura's face to a PowerPoint presentation.

Before the elite members of the Secret Service could even rejoice at finally no longer having to see the face of the head of the Equipment Department, they heard strange noises suddenly coming from the LCD screen.

Dongdong——dongdong——

Dongdong——dongdong——

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Damn it, is it going to explode?"

The meeting room suddenly erupted in noise. Thanks to the Equipment Department's reputation, everyone reacted identically whenever their equipment malfunctioned.

Fortunately, Director Akadullah's voice rang out in time, stopping the commotion in the meeting room:

"Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bomb."

"This is an audio recording made by our equipment department in the waters off Japan."

"Please close your eyes and listen carefully."

Angers frowned slightly, his attention fully focused. His voice, like a sea breeze, carried throughout the conference room, and everyone heard the deep, resonant voice mixed in with the audio.

"This is……"

Schneider spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

“Just as you imagined, that’s the heartbeat of a dragon,” Akadura said.

"Our initial purpose in exploring the waters off Japan was to find a shipwreck that the principal had asked us to explore."

"But during the excavation, we unexpectedly recorded the creature's heartbeat using sonar."

"The Japan Trench is over 8 meters deep, a depth that ordinary organisms could never reach,"

"so……"

"What we detected should be the embryo of a dragon."

Akadullah's face reappeared, and he stood on the screen, shrugging.

"Of course, this dragon obviously hasn't hatched yet. If it had hatched, it certainly wouldn't still be staying in this place."

"But according to our data, the frequency of embryo hatching is clearly accelerating, and it is expected to hatch within one or two years."

There was silence.

dragon!

The greatest enemy of the entire Secret Society!

According to the Abraham Bloodline Pact, Kassel College has always aimed to eliminate pure-blooded dragons, and its global executive branches are precisely to annihilate their sharpest blades.

“Is this thing an early species, a later species, or some small creature?” Angers asked.

"I'm sorry, our technology hasn't overcome this challenge yet."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Director Akaladu's face, as if he felt apologetic to the Equipment Department for "things they hadn't yet figured out."

"But if it has such anomalies even in the embryonic stage, I think its level must be quite high."

Ang nodded and looked around:

"Then we still have to be prepared."

“I have some suspicion that this ancient dragon embryo is cargo from the shipwreck I asked you to investigate.”

"I don't know who would put this kind of thing on a ship and then sink it to the bottom of the sea."

Schneider narrowed his eyes slightly.

He is currently the head of the executive department at Kassel College, and everything concerning the revival of the dragon race will be handled through him.

Now that the Equipment Department has detected that an ancient dragon embryo is about to revive, he must send someone to investigate no matter what.

“These are the two main topics of today’s meeting, and for the first time ever, they are both related to Japan,” Angers said in a deep voice.

“If we were to investigate any one of these matters, we would need to go to the Japanese branch, let alone two of them.”

Everyone present agreed with this view.

The news from Norma was truly shocking. Such a disaster breaking out in Tokyo would cause a certain shock to the entire mixed-race society.

Fortunately, the underwater heartbeat detected by the Equipment Department is currently known only to Kassel College. They can have the executive officers dispatched to Japan to carry out the mission conceal this fact and conduct an in-depth investigation.

“I will draft a suitable list of executive officers tonight,” Schneider said.

“They are all elites within the Executive Bureau. Even if they were placed in a place like the Japanese branch, they would adapt quickly and would definitely be able to complete the mission excellently.”

“I feel that’s not enough,” Angers pondered.

"It's true that the members of the Executive Department are all elites, but the Snake Clan will definitely be wary of them."

"Moreover, the Japanese branch has a supercomputer system like Kaguya-hime, so even Norma cannot exert his full power in Japan."

“Principal, what do you mean…” Schneider asked, somewhat puzzled.

“We should also select some people who are familiar with Japanese culture and will not attract too much attention from the Snake Clan,” Angers said.

"Admittedly, the executives are more experienced in handling crises, but simply sending them to the Japanese branch is not enough. Perhaps some people who seem weaker and less experienced can achieve better results."

"Just like the spies or agents sent out during the war."

Schneider pondered for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement:

"Alright, in addition to the elites of the Executive Department, we will also send out some hybrids who are similar to spies."

“We also send some students to our Japanese branch for internships every year, so why not select them from our current students?”

“I suddenly thought of a very suitable candidate. Although she is not currently a student, she can still be added to the shortlist,” Angers said.

"She is currently studying in a foundation program in the UK. Her name is Chihaya Aine, and she happens to be from Japan."

Chapter 248 The Tears of Genji

Overnight, Tokyo changed dramatically.

The news of the family power transition was quickly conveyed to every member of the Snake Clan, and everyone already knew that the current head of the family had changed his name.

Genjiro officially took over as the head of the family from the position of young master. The position of director of the executive bureau, which he previously held, became vacant and is now filled by a young man who has recently returned to the family.

The fact that this position was given to a newcomer was shocking enough, but the opposition from the Executive Bureau vanished in a short time.

With Genjiro's strong recommendation, Nagumo Ugetsu's feat of capturing Kazama Ruri, the "Dragon King" of the Oni Clan, became widely known.

In addition, the bloodline flowing through his veins and his past deeds of using the "precepts" of words to suppress Uesugi Erii's tendency to lose control made everyone convinced.

The Executive Bureau is a department that respects the strong. The fact that Nagumo Ugetsu was able to fight Kazama Ruri head-on and win is enough to suppress all dissent.

Genjiro also showed Nagumo Ugetsu around the various affairs of the Execution Bureau, while subtly advising him to find a few of his own retainers to help share the burden.

"This method is quite good."

Nanon Ugetsu gave the suggestion a serious consideration.

The Kanto branch established by Tachibana Masamune back then has been completely wiped out due to betrayal.

Genjiro did not establish a new Kanto branch for the time being, but retained the existing Kansai branch, treating it as a private army under the patriarch.

The former Kansai branch members, including Genjiro, retained their positions, as these men were indeed loyal and had never overstepped their bounds.

Now that he has become the patriarch, the members of the Kansai branch have quickly won over and always obey his orders, so that they will not be discarded after serving their purpose.

As the former head of the Snake Clan, Uesugi Kotsuki has not officially returned to the clan, but his former residence—the church where Nagumo Ugetsu and Toyokawa Shoko used to practice kendo—has received a huge investment in a short period of time.

The money will be used entirely for the church's renovation and the preservation of the surrounding streets, ensuring they retain their historical charm.

Under the supervision of the enforcement bureau, no one dared to embezzle a single penny.

Yuan Zhisheng felt like he was going crazy with work.

The riots that swept through Tokyo left the Snake-Headed Eight Families with a lot of mess.

He was troubled by this for a long time and stayed up all night to finish most of the more important matters.

Two more days passed before he was finally able to find time to visit Kazama Ruri, who was imprisoned underground.

During this period, all members of the Snake Clan, from the Executive Bureau down to the ordinary members of the five outer clans, were extremely busy.

The losses caused by the disaster, the compensation for the fallen operators, and all the matters related to post-disaster reconstruction...

However, they still devoted a considerable amount of energy to preventing this "extremely evil spirit" from escaping.

To deal with a 'King' like Kazama Ruri, it's impossible to just send Execution Bureau agents to guard the entrance. So the Snake Clan sealed off all the passages in the underground prison, only opening them briefly when food was delivered. Moreover, the agents would watch him eat the whole time and then immediately take away the food.

Of course, Genji was still somewhat soft-hearted and treated his younger brother the best in everything. He also had a great deal of autonomy over his daily meals, and could get whatever he wanted very quickly.

Moreover, just yesterday, Genjiro specifically mentioned many things she wanted, and Genjiro fulfilled them all in the end.

"Could it be that my younger brother has finally come to his senses?" Yuan Zhisheng was somewhat uncertain.

When he first captured Kazama Ruri, he told her that she could ask for anything at any time and he would do his best to meet her needs.

At that time, Kazama Ruri looked disdainful and her eyes were full of hostility. He couldn't tell whether it was resentment or pride that was at play, so he could only sigh and take Nagumo Ugetsu to visit Genji Heavy Industries.

Unexpectedly, a day later, Kazama Ruri's attitude suddenly changed. It was as if she had let go of her past hostility and obsession, and no longer adopted a cold attitude to confront the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

"Sigh, thanks to Sakura, otherwise so many things would still be unresolved."

As Yuan Zhisheng pondered, he sighed inwardly.

After he became the head of the family, Sakura Yabuki was promoted from assistant to head of the family to assistant to the head of the family. All the trivial matters that he was too busy with were handled by Sakura.

It was thanks to her that Genji was able to find time to visit his younger brother.

He walked up the inner staircase, took out the black card that had been replaced, swiped it on the sensor, and the compartment slowly descended, heading towards the floor where Kazama Ruri was imprisoned.

Step—step—step

Yuan Zhisheng's lonely footsteps echoed in the empty building.

Soon, the scene of the prison came into his view.

“My dear girl…I’ve come to see you.”

Yuan Zhisheng said.

He wasn't too worried, and even lowered the outermost alloy door in advance, simply looking at Yuan Zhinv through a thick layer of glass.

"Brother, you're here! I've been waiting for you for days."

Yuan Zhinv responded softly.

He slowly walked to the other side of the glass so that Genji's face could be reflected in his eyes.

"A young girl?"

A sense of doubt suddenly arose in Yuan Zhisheng's heart.

The look in his younger brother's eyes was completely different from before; the resentment had vanished without a trace, and even the aura that had settled in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood was gone.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was just a teenager who was still in school.

He suddenly had a strange feeling that Genjiro looked more like a student than Nagumo Ugetsu.

“It is I, Genjiro.”

Yuan Zhinv said softly,
