Starting from the Dragon Clan, it's a 50-50 split

The deadpools in Genji Heavy Industries have been basically cleared out. There were all kinds of huge noises in the process, but no deadpool escaped and no blind reporters or police dared to approach. Such violent explosions and gunshots in a building in the bustling city of Tokyo are definitely big news, but reporters should naturally know what to provoke and what not to provoke. What kind of place is Genji Heavy Industries? It is the core office location of the Snake Eight Families!

Reporting on the biggest underworld organization in Japan, the Snake Hachika, which can almost ignore the Metropolitan Police Department to a certain extent, something that they obviously don't want outsiders to know?

Let’s not talk about whether newspapers or news stations dare to report such things. Even if they really reported it... they would be alive to get the money but not to spend it!

"The head of the family's office was almost completely destroyed by Deadpool, and everything in it suffered devastating damage." Yuan Zhisheng ignored what Mo Qiuran said about redecorating and said softly.

"Although I don't know when those Deadpools developed a hobby of destroying offices, but without evidence, I will just assume that Deadpool is a freak," Mo Qiuran shrugged, "So I guess the remains of Tachibana Masamune's body should have been found. Judging from various signs, it should be him, but there is no substantive way, such as genetics, to confirm that it is him."

"Yes, he did not leave any genetic samples." Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "I am almost convinced of what you said."

"The academy's EVA is cracking Kaguya's core firewall. After successfully cracking it, I think some things will be revealed." Mo Qiuran said.

"...I hope you can keep your word." Yuan Zhisheng said after a moment of silence.

"Do I have to lie?" Mo Qiuran smiled.

Yuan Zhisheng remained silent. Even though what he said was the truth, it sounded like he really deserved a beating... Unfortunately, he couldn't win!

"Oh my God, I finally see you!" A rough and loud voice sounded, and Finger, with his upper body naked, strode over. Mo Qiuran dodged and said, "I'm not God, senior. Did some deadpool hit you on the head by accident?"

"To me, you are like God. I don't have to worry as long as you are here!" Finkel shivered with his hands on his chest, his face full of relief as if he had survived a disaster. Unfortunately, with his muscular body and abundant chest hair, he looked really... a bit off-putting. "Those Deadpools are so scary! If it weren't for Junior Brother Chu's great power, Junior Brother Mo, you wouldn't be able to see me today!"

Chu Zihang walked slowly behind Finkel. Compared with Finkel, whose upper body clothes were gone and whose lower body pants were baggy, his clothes seemed to have no wrinkles. With his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and the Spider Blade in his hand, he looked like a hero who was at ease on a battlefield of this level... So it seemed that Finkel's words made sense... Bullshit!

Chu Zihang controlled his desire to chop at this guy who was pretending to be cool and then shirking responsibility, and handed the spider in his hand back to Yuan Zhisheng: "This is a good knife."

"It's just convenient to use. If you like it, I can give it to you." Yuan Zhisheng took the knife and said.

"That's not necessary. I have one myself, but I didn't bring it with me because I was in a hurry." Chu Zihang shook his head. The "Murasame" knife that the man left for him was still hidden in his home. It was obvious that international airlines would not provide air transportation services for sharpened knives. The consequence of taking that thing on the plane was that he would end up in the police station the next second.

"If you have a chance, we can learn from each other." Yuan Zhisheng nodded. From the posture of Chu Zihang holding the knife, he could see that Chu Zihang was definitely good at swordsmanship. It is impossible to learn from this guy Mo Qiuran. Yes, Finger...No matter what strength he is, he is not interested in it, so he only has Chu Zihang to discuss it!

"Okay." Chu Zihang nodded slightly, with fighting spirit in his eyes. After finally realizing that he was actually the weakest one in the team, he was of course unwilling to accept this. Compared to Mo Qiuran, Yuan Zhisheng was obviously an opponent who could be seen and caught up with!

"Well, I have to tell you a piece of unfortunate news. In fact, when you add the three words 'sometimes', it basically means 'definitely next time'. The '一' here actually also represents '彼', which means not necessarily. In the end, it will not work. This guy is just perfunctorily trying to fool you!" Mo Qiuran said to Chu Zihang in a low voice.

Yuan Zhisheng: "..."

I really appreciate your reading comprehension!

And you're not going to tell anyone to hear it when you're "whispering" like that! You don't seem to be trying to hide anything at all!

"Young Master..." Inuyama He walked over and seemed to want to say something but stopped when he saw Mo Qiuran and others were still there.

"Don't be so formal. After all, we've eaten together before. If there's anything, why can't we talk about it in person? Why do we have to do it behind each other's back? That's too distant!" Mo Qiuran said cheerfully.

Inuyama He's face froze. Shouldn't a normal person immediately realize that what they are saying is not suitable for them to hear and then say goodbye and leave?

How come he's so familiar with me?

"Junior, your excuse is a bit far-fetched. What if someone uses the excuse that we once breathed on the same earth and we shouldn't be so unfamiliar with each other to do something like this?" Finkel muttered.

"What? Senior, how do you know my second excuse?" Mo Qiuran was shocked.

"You really plan to do this!" Finkel was also shocked.

"The specialists in this department are all my friends. The Snake Eight Families were originally the Japanese branch of Kassel Academy, so they can assist us when necessary." Gen Chisheng ignored the daily nonsense of the two people and said to Inuyama He.

"...I understand." Inuyama He felt that he understood with a flicker in his eyes. Now that the patriarch has suddenly died, many of the messes left behind have instantly fallen on Gen Chisheng's shoulders, and some other family heads are eyeing him covetously... The pressure faced by Gen Chisheng at this time is undoubtedly enormous, but if he can win over the people in the headquarters to help him... then the pressure will be greatly reduced!

However, in this way...

Inuyama He's mind was in a mess. He was a little unhappy with Minamoto Chisei's decision, but at the same time he couldn't think of any other feasible solutions. He even put himself in Minamoto Chisei's position and found that he would probably make the same choice.

"Your succession ceremony as the head of the family must begin as soon as possible." Thinking about those things in his mind did not affect what Inuyama He wanted to say, "The eight families of Sheqi must be stabilized immediately."

"I understand. Convene a meeting of the heads of families immediately. All heads of families must be present within half an hour. The location is here, Genji Heavy Industries." Genji Chisheng said calmly, "Also, inform them that the last Shadow Emperor of the Eight Snake Families will also be present at the meeting."

"..." Inuyama He stared at Yuan Zhisheng with wide eyes, as if a nuclear bomb exploded in his mind, and a huge amount of information burst out and ran everywhere, but it seemed like a blank.

"Does the head of the Inuyama family have any questions?" Yuan Zhisheng looked at Inuyama He and smiled slightly.

"...May I ask...who is the last Shadow Emperor...?" Inuyama He lowered his head slowly, and for a moment his voice was trembling slightly... "Shadow Emperor", this familiar name represents the most noble and powerful existence of the Snake Eight Clan, and also represents an era, when the glory of the Snake Eight Clan spread all over Japan! The reason why he was called Shadow Emperor was because at that time the Snake Eight Clan controlled more than half of the power in Japan, and his strength was comparable to that of the Emperor or even surpassed it!

But with the disappearance of the last Shadow Emperor, all the glory vanished… The man named Ange defeated the strongest Shadow Emperor in their hearts, and since then the Eight Snake Families have fallen into decline and have been scheming against each other because there is no one strong enough to lead them in a unified way… Tachibana Masamune did all this, but his strength was not enough, and it was more about power struggles, and the heads of the eight families also understood that if this continued, the Eight Snake Families would probably really disappear.

But now Inuyama He actually heard this title again from Gen Chisei's mouth, this familiar title that carries with it feelings of disappointment and hope. After all, some things cannot be given by power. In this world of hybrids, strength has always been respected!

"The last Shadow Emperor, Uesugi Yue."

In anticipation, Inuyama He heard Minamoto Chisei's soft but firm answer: "He is also my biological father, the father of the current head of the Uesugi family, and the Minamoto Chisei who was just found and will succeed the head of the Minamoto family."

Another round of nuclear bombs exploded in Inuyama He's mind, and for a moment the old man even felt that he was somewhat untenable... Gen Chisheng's words answered his question, and the answer was exactly what he expected... But this answer gave a little more, so the association was like an information nuclear bomb bombing!

The last Shadow Emperor...it turned out to be that one...But, the young master, and the head of the Uesugi family, and the Genji girl who had died long ago but now seems to be alive again...are they actually the biological children of the "Emperor"?

But why was there no relevant news before!

Tachibana Masamune has always kept the news in this regard very secret...so although Inuyama He knew that Minamoto no Chisho had royal blood, he was not sure about the exact source, and he guessed that it was more of an accident.

But I didn’t expect this accident to be so big... No, it should be said to be a surprise!

They are actually the direct descendants of the "Emperor"? The Eight Clans of Sheqi are saved!

And the emperor of the previous generation has also returned...

So when he thought of this, Inuyama He's thoughts had to diverge a bit, and this divergence led him to think of a place that was easily associated with... because all this was too coincidental!

What an unbelievable coincidence!

The current head of the family had just passed away, and the news about the last Shadow Emperor had already come out. Moreover, it was said by the incoming young master himself, and the young master had such a good relationship with the commissioner of this department...

So, what is the truth behind this?

Not cold but millet.

Inuyama He could only think of this adjective. A complete set of "conspiracy theories" instantly emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling fearful.

Such a young master...

"Hey, why do I feel like you've thought of something that's not so good?"

A hand fell on Inuyama He's shoulder, waking him up. In fact, when he realized what this person was going to do, Inuyama He rejected it in his heart and took reaction measures. His speed and reaction were very fast, but it was of no use as the big hand still fell on his shoulder.

He couldn't help but look at Mo Qiuran in astonishment... then thought of the speed Mo Qiuran had shown before.

never mind.

"No, that's not the case!" said Inuyama He.

"Really not?" Mo Qiuran asked with a puzzled look.

"No, no!" Inuyama He shook his head.

"If you say there is no, then there must be!" Mo Qiuran jumped back and stared at him with deep eyes and said confidently.

Inuyama Ga: "..."

What should I do? Can I still say yes? You are not going to give anyone a chance to take over!

"Your young master is a good man, a serious one. Don't misunderstand him. There is actually another hidden story here!" Mo Qiuran stretched out his voice to comfort him.

"Of course!" Inuyama He nodded repeatedly. At this moment, he became more and more certain of his guess. Otherwise, why would the headquarters specialist have such a friendly reaction and attitude?

Yuan Zhisheng looked at Mo Qiuran helplessly, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether this guy did it intentionally or unintentionally... Forget it, it would be useless even if he figured it out.

And it seems like what this guy said was completely true...and to some extent the implied meaning was also true!

"I will immediately convey the young master's order and convene a meeting of all the family heads." Inuyama He said.

"Go ahead." Yuan Zhisheng nodded.

Although this meeting was hasty, it is the cornerstone for determining the future direction of the Eight Snake Clans!

That's why he temporarily decided to bring Uesugi Yue along... It's only natural to ask the father to come and keep things under control when the son is not capable, right?

Chapter 4: New Patriarch Yuan Zhisheng, the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy (k)

Genji Heavy Industries, in a large conference room that had been hastily cleaned up.

It is quite rare for the heads of the families to gather together among the Snake Eight Families. As a "dynasty" of the Japanese underworld, each family has its own responsibilities and is basically very busy on weekdays. It is precisely because of this that once they gather together, it means that something big is about to happen. In history, every time such a gathering occurs, it represents a reshuffle of the Japanese underworld or the formulation of a new development direction for the Snake Eight Families!

Every gathering like this is always extremely solemn and needs to be held in a shrine deep in the mountains that houses the tablets of ancestors, and notification will be given several days in advance... However, this time is very different. Not only has the venue been changed to Genji Heavy Industries, but the time is only half an hour!

Of course, the biggest difference is that no one from the Tachibana family, one of the top three families, will ever come... The last person from the Tachibana family, even the one who changed his name and surname as is well known, has already died.

Every family head arrived within the specified time... If they hadn't heard the news, one or two of them might have been late because of some "excuses", but after hearing the title and name, they immediately rushed over.

Whether it is true or false, it represents the most noble and powerful existence of the Eight Snake Clans!

In the office, the heads of the Inuyama, Fuma, Ryoma, Sakurai, and Miyamoto families were all in their seats with serious expressions. Given their status and position, it was difficult for them to be surprised or lose their composure, but now they all couldn't help but look at the old man with his eyes closed beside Gen Chisei from time to time. The old man had mottled silver hair and an aged face, but his kingly aura became even stronger... The passage of time allowed the former king to perfectly restrain his aura, but now he released it, so even though he was wearing a ramen chef's outfit, the people present could not look down on him at all.

“When I left, I never thought that I still had descendants, nor did I think that the Eight Snake Families would develop to this point, and even cultivate something like Deadpool in the family’s important place.” The old man slowly opened his eyes, his calm tone was full of the majesty that only a superior could have. His burning golden eyes instantly shocked the whole audience, and the heads of the five outer families couldn't help but tilt their heads back to avoid his sight. At that moment, they just felt as if they were staring at an ancient dragon!

Even in this short moment, they couldn't help but tense up their bodies and ignite their golden eyes. Just this one moment confirmed the identity of the old man... this feeling of having their bloodline almost crushed!

"Emperor, you're back!" Inuyama He was the first to confirm, standing up and bowing deeply.

"It's you, Aha..." Uesugi Yue felt a little emotional for a moment. The child back then has now become the head of a family. Times have changed, and so many changes have taken place in the family during the years he was away.

In fact, Uesugi Yue would never have come back if it hadn't been for Yuan Zhisheng's request, but how could Lao Tzu not help if his son wanted me to help?What's more, I'm always happy to have a son!No matter what Minamoto asks, Uesugi Koshi will probably agree, of course, it is the same for Erika and Minamoto!

Thinking of this, Uesugi Yue looked at Genjitsu and Eri beside him, and suddenly felt that his life was complete. So the most important thing now was to cultivate the relationship between himself and his own children... Although it sounds a bit awkward, it is really the case!

"Okay, I'm here just to prove what Chisheng said and to help him correct some mistakes in the family." Uesugi Yue said right from the start that he came back not to "seize power" but to "support his son."

"You guys continue." After saying this, Uesugi Yue looked at Genjiro and Eri on the side. The more he looked, the more he liked them...his own children are just beautiful!

"Okay, let's start with the most urgent matter," Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "The previous head of the family has left us forever. Let's not talk about his merits and demerits for now. What we need to do most now is to immediately decide on the candidate for the new head of the family and complete the succession ceremony within two days. Since I was the 'Amaterasu' of the family before, I have the experience of being the director of the executive bureau and leading the whole organization to become the first organization of the family. Therefore, whether in terms of identity or strength, I am the best choice for this position."

"I've finished speaking," Yuan Zhisheng's sword-like eyes swept around and he said calmly, "Who agrees, who disagrees?"

The conference room fell silent instantly.

According to the tradition of the Snake Eight Families, the new head of the family needs to be elected through a unanimous vote in the main shrine... That is to say, there will usually be other candidates, and all family heads can participate, and the votes are counted anonymously. However, now Gen Chisei did not even give a second choice... He simply put himself forward as the only candidate, and then said who is in favor and who is against!

Such a straightforward approach made the people from the five outer families a little uncomfortable for a while, but after they saw the people from the three inner families, they understood... The three inner families are now all descendants of the last Shadow Emperor... They are brothers and sisters of the same mind!

Moreover, neither Genjiro nor Eri's personalities look like they want or are capable of being the head of the family, and Uesugi Yue directly stated from the beginning that he came back just to support his son and because he couldn't stand the current situation of the Snake Eight Families!

Putting aside whether the three agree to the change, even if it is successful...are the Sheqi Eight Families still the Sheqi Eight Families without the "Emperor"?

It seems like the choice is laid out in the open, but in fact it is just a piece of candy and a knife. If you choose candy, you live; if you choose the knife, you die!

Such sharp and decisive words and methods...could they be used by Yuan Zhisheng?

The heads of the five outer families were confused, but they also knew their current situation and the choice they should make... So no matter what they thought in their heads, they all looked at each other and stood up, bowed and answered in unison: "Greetings, head of the family!"

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing." Yuan Zhisheng nodded slightly, without any fluctuation on his face. For him, this matter only added a huge burden, making him further away from his dream.

But to be honest, what Mo Qiuran said was really useful... Yuan Zhisheng thought, no matter how complicated his mood was, or how eager he was to kill General Wang, he would not change so much in a short period of time. The reason why he could say such quick and decisive words was all due to Mo Qiuran's "casual preaching".

Mo Qiuran's original words at that time were: "Do you need to be vague with a lineup like yours? Just rush in if you don't want to bother! Anyway, you are a gang, so you don't need to worry about winning people's hearts! When your strength is enough to crush them, you just need to tell them what you want to do and they will nod in agreement! With the four Ss present, do you still need to worry that they won't agree? Even if you are all poisoned and can't beat them, don't worry, you can also talk about our cooperative relationship. I tell you, you have the legendary Tianhu start in the game, the kind that will never lose no matter how you play!"

……

"Bullshit!"

Mo Qiuran pushed down a row of mahjong tiles and said with a smile.

"Although we have played three games, I still have a question I want to ask, which is where did you get this mahjong, junior?" Finkel couldn't help asking.

"I just saw it being sold on the street and bought it. This kind of cultural export is actually very common nowadays. In comparison, I am even more surprised that you, senior, can play mahjong," said Mo Qiuran.

"Playing mahjong is not difficult, and there used to be a mahjong club in the student union. Although it disappeared later due to some reasons, I was a strong pillar of it when it was still there!" Finkel said proudly.

"You put it so nicely, but you're just an old gambler!" Mo Qiuran exposed.

"Ahem...so are we really going to play mahjong here like this? We were just fighting for life and death with Deadpool and now suddenly we are doing nothing but playing mahjong here. It always feels weird!" Finkel said with two light coughs.

"This topic change is too abrupt. Bad review!" Mo Qiuran said, "As for what we have to do... I was supposed to be out shopping with my girlfriend, but my girlfriend suddenly received an emergency mission and went back... Then our mission as the inspection team in Japan this time has been completed... So the only thing left is playing mahjong."

When talking about this matter, Mo Qiuran recalled the scene at that time... How to put it, it was roughly like a feeling that he was picked up by someone out of the blue and then the other party left in a cool manner... If that really happened, Mo Qiuran wouldn't mind, right? But the problem is that there isn't any!

Tang Zi had originally planned to stay with Mo Qiuran for a while, but there was nothing she could do about the emergency recall from the organization. Since she had enjoyed the treatment, she should naturally fulfill the corresponding obligations.

"Um... Junior, have you forgotten one thing?" Finkel's reminder brought Mo Qiuran back to his senses, and he threw out a piece of mahjong at the same time.

"What? One barrel? Fire it!" Mo Qiuran said after glancing at it.

"What the hell! Junior, you didn't use Time Zero to peek at my cards, did you?" Finkel was shocked.

"It's a matter of the 'Perfect Evolution' organization." Chu Zihang said.

The three of them were in the lounge at this time... As absolute "outsiders", they definitely could not attend the meeting of the heads of the eight Sheqi families. Although they could participate with their strength, the meaning would be completely different if they participated. Wouldn't that mean that Yuan Zhisheng had already defected to the headquarters?
