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

Even so, Toyokawa Sadaharu's status among the Snake-Headed Eight Families was far inferior to that of any other head of family, let alone the head of the Executive Bureau.

Meanwhile, Wakaba Mutsu recalled that dinner party at the Wakaba family residence.

The parents used a lot of connections to invite Sakurai Nanami, the head of the Sakurai family, to the banquet, but the head of the family did not care much about the affairs of the Wakaba family and only responded politely to the parents' goodwill.

At that time, Takafumi Wakaba and Minami Mori were focused on building their careers and taking their acting careers to the next level.

This thirst for status and fame deeply motivated them. After Tachibana Masamune introduced a strategy to unify the family branches, their anxieties about various situations made them even ruthless enough to harm their own daughters.

If Ye Mu had long understood that her mother disliked her, and if sacrificing her daughter could help her advance further in the entertainment industry and become a superstar like Yoshinaga Sayuri, then she would definitely not hesitate.

But even if you really become a superstar, what then?

The Inuyama family is mainly responsible for the entertainment industry. Every year, many newcomers recommended by the Inuyama family emerge and become famous in the film and television industry.

While superstars of the caliber of a diva are rare and hard to come by, with the resources of the Inuyama family, if they truly had the ability, they could elevate a star to a level unimaginable in the past.

While Takafumi Wakaba and Minami Mori are quite famous in the entertainment industry today, they have actually always remained outside the true core of power.

How can one truly stand at the top of the game by relying solely on the information left by one's ancestors and one's own supposedly clever plans?

Even a superstar is nothing compared to someone who truly wields power and authority.

Ruo Ye Mu was unsure whether her parents were aware of this, or whether they had been aware of it for a long time but simply refused to believe it.

You have to gamble, betting on that less than one percent, one in a thousand chance of success.

Finally... it came to this point in the gamble.

Ruoye Mu sighed inwardly.

However... she did not expect that Nan Yun Yuyue would suddenly become the director of the Executive Bureau.

I wonder what my parents' expressions will be when they hear this news...

Judging by the time, they should have woken up from their own 'dream-devouring'.

She had no intention of harming their lives, but felt immense sorrow over it.

Those who try to exchange their principles for fame or power often end up losing much of what they already have, instead of getting what they want.

But at this moment, Ruoye Mu was also genuinely happy for Nangumo Ugetsu.

“In that case… we probably won’t have to live here anymore,” Nan Yun Yuyue said.

When he rented this apartment, he didn't consider that two people would be living with him, and he didn't want Wakaba Mutsu to go back to a place like the Wakaba family mansion. It would be perfect for him to live with her.

Moreover, with Toyokawa Shoko by her side, she probably won't be lonely.

"The head of the family has arranged a new place for me, which is much bigger and more convenient than the apartment we live in now."

"It wasn't really an arrangement; it was more like a gift to me."

"In another day or two, we can pack up and move there."

The head of the executive bureau is an absolute high-ranking member of the Snake Clan and enjoys the most prestigious treatment.

Genjiro had a general understanding of Nagumo Ugetsu's previous situation. The Snake-Headed Eight Family also owned quite a few mansions in Tokyo. Since he was unwilling to live in Genji Heavy Industries, it would be a good idea to give him one as his future residence.

Nanon Ugetsu rejected the villa and ultimately chose a large flat in downtown Tokyo.

"The villa is too big and too difficult to manage... I don't want to hire a maid... Besides, the villa is quite far from the city center. Driving might be convenient, but if we drive on the street now, we'll definitely get checked..."

"We can buy a villa when we're older, but for now, it's more convenient to live in the city."

Nan Yun Youyue explained.

Although he could ask Princess Kaguya to point out where traffic police were patrolling, or simply get himself a fake identity, it would still make it very troublesome for Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu to travel.

Therefore, choosing a large, single-level apartment in the city center can effectively avoid these problems.

Given Tokyo's housing prices, it's really hard to say whether a large apartment of this size or a suburban villa is more expensive.

"it is good."

Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu both nodded slightly.

Rather than returning to the old villa... they would prefer to stay with Nagumo Ugetsu.

"Perfect timing... I should also help you with your family matters while I'm at it."

"That's what Nanon Ugetsu said last."

…………

the other side,

Old Koga Garden,

Toyokawa Sadaharu almost lost control of his temper and even smashed his treasured purple clay teapot.

"I don't understand... how did the Snake Clan suddenly become like this?"

He had just received news of the power transition within the Snake Clan, and his mind was in turmoil like never before.

The former patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, is now imprisoned, and the Kanto branch has been wiped out for betraying the family.

In other words... the faction he and the entire Toyokawa Group had bet on had been completely wiped out.

"What exactly is going on?!"

Toyokawa Sadaharu was filled with rage.

The reason he went to great lengths to get close to Tachibana Masamune was because of the patriarch's shrewdness.

In his mind, Tachibana Masamune was definitely a great hero, and the reason why the Snake-Headed Eight Families had been able to revive over the years was entirely due to his coordination.

The Toyokawa Group should also stay close to the very center of power in order to seize the greatest benefits amidst the tides of the times.

Who would have thought... that all of this would fall apart in a short period of time, and all his investments would go down the drain.

"The current patriarch is... Genjiro?"

“He used to be the director of the executive bureau, but he always kept a low profile, so I didn’t have a chance to curry favor with him.”

"Now that he's become the patriarch, who is the current head of the executive bureau...?"

"what?!"

"It's him?!"

Toyokawa Sadaharu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"How could it be this guy?!"

He had previously investigated Toyokawa Shoko's classmates and knew that there was a transfer student named Nagumo Ugetsu.

He had also seen Nanon Ugetsu's file before he enrolled in school from the board of directors of Tsukimori School.

He knew deep down that Toyokawa Shoko had formed a band with him.

In his heart, he was just an ordinary young man. If he hadn't been a transfer student, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to go to school with Toyokawa Shoko.

But now...

"He actually became the director of the executive bureau?!"

A storm raged in Toyokawa Sadaharu's heart.

The position of the Executive Bureau Chief within the Snake Clan was so high that he could only look up to him now.

This is the person who truly holds power and authority, and all his previous maneuvering through money was nothing but illusion.

"It seems that Toyokawa Shoko is very close to him..."

Toyokawa Sadaharu broke out in a cold sweat.

If he had known that his granddaughter had such a good friend, he certainly wouldn't have made the decision he did before.

Instead of currying favor with Tachibana Masamune, or the Kanto branch teeming with lunatics... it's better to curry favor with Nangumo Ugetsu.

"There's nothing I can do but try to fix it... but the question is, how do I fix it?"

Toyokawa Sadaharu racked his brains, only to find that he seemed to have already blocked the way.

"I need to contact Toyokawa Shoko!"

"Damn it, I can't get in touch with them!"

"Something really bad has happened..."

…………

Ruoye Family Residence

Takafumi Wakaba and Minami Mori slowly woke up.

"Damn it... I underestimated that monster's Word of Power."

Wakaba Takafumi leaned against the wall, feeling a little dizzy.

Mori Minami was also not having an easy time. Although they were both mixed-bloods, their bloodline ranks were low. They had spent so much time in the nightmare created by the 'Dream Eater' and were still feeling lingering fear.

"What should we do now?" Minami asked.

“We don’t even know where she went, there’s nothing we can do.” Wakaba Takafumi’s eyes were icy.

His career in the entertainment industry has always been smooth sailing. After embarking on the path of a comedian, he has rarely encountered any setbacks.

But as his career in the entertainment industry flourished, he became increasingly aware of the barrier that separated ordinary people from mixed-race individuals.

This is especially true for the Wakaba family, whose ancestors once held power and influence, but now can only develop their careers in the entertainment industry.

"Let's take a look at the news from within the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan. Not long ago, the patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, was unifying the family branches, while the Demon Clan was taking the opportunity to recruit those mixed-bloods who were unwilling to join the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Perhaps our opportunity lies among them."

Ruoye Longwen said.

Without hesitation, the two began contacting 'friends' they had met through their respective channels.

Not long after,

"what?!"

"The patriarch has changed?!"

"Is the current head of the Enforcement Bureau Nan Yun Yuyue?"

"Isn't this the person who came to our family's dinner party before? I remember he was Wakaba Mutsu's classmate."

“Yes…the maid in the house told me that Wakaba Mutsu had once invited him to our house.”

"Damn! I didn't even realize at the banquet that this guy was a mixed-race person, and how old is he? How did he become the director of the executive bureau so quickly?"

"How could the power structure of the Snake Clan change so quickly?!"

"How come the Ghost Clan is also on the verge of annihilation?"

Only then did the two have to admit that Tokyo had changed.

A rare hint of fear flickered in Minami's eyes:

“Longwen… this is the first time I’ve felt like we’ve done something wrong…”

…………

In the following two days,

Nan Yun Yuyue is also adapting to life after taking over as the head of the executive bureau.

"So, besides slaying demons, Genjiro also had to handle so many other things every day?"

Nagumo Ugetsu now understood why he needed an assistant like Yabuki Sakura.

It would be exhausting for one person to coordinate so many things.

"It seems we still need to find a suitable assistant."
