Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

If the White King's bloodline is already there, how far away is the White King? Since the White King still has a backup plan, what's the difference between that and being alive?

The thought that the white dragon might be watching her made Xia Mi's lips twitch involuntarily.

However, Norton's willingness to come after the White King suggests he wasn't unprepared...

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. With his true self right here, it's much easier for Norton to fight and outwit the White King while his true self picks up the scraps from behind.

……

In the next room, Akira Sakurai looked at the dimly lit Tokyo cityscape, still wide awake.

A month later, he returned to Japan, although being stuck at the charity school had made this native Japanese man quite unfamiliar with the country...

However, this time he returned to Japan as a free agent.

According to Lord Lu, the alchemical matrix within his body can maintain the stability of his bloodline for about two and a half years.

This time when he returned to Japan, although he was still sneaking around in the dark, his goal was bright and noble—to rescue his dangerous mixed-race compatriots who were being held captive by the Snake-Headed Eight Families!

However, Sakurai Akira did not hate the Snake Clan. When he first approached Lu Mingfei, he could understand Lu Mingfei's idea of ​​having someone keep an eye on him, and he could naturally understand the Snake Clan's idea as well.

The Snake-Headed Eight Families did not do anything wrong in this regard. Dangerous hybrids pose a great threat to ordinary human society. If humans stand at the top of the food chain, then dangerous hybrids stand at the top of the human chain.

By taking them to a heavy prison, at least they can live and have contact with normal people, instead of being dumped on a deserted overseas island or killed...

Chapter 91 Erii Uesugi?

Genji Heavy Industries is a classic office building with an exterior covered entirely in black glass.

However, it is not quite the same as a normal office building because a light rail line runs through the middle of the Genji Heavy Industries building, which looks quite novel.

So it's not surprising that some people would stop and watch from across the street from Genji Heavy Industries.

Especially couples traveling to Japan, a man and a woman, who look quite young, carrying a bag and holding an umbrella or a drink...

After the light rail passed through Genji Heavy Industries, Xia Mi looked away, took a sip of the drink in her hand, and turned to Lu Mingfei, saying, "I heard that there are similar light rail and subway systems in Shancheng."

"I'm not very familiar with Shancheng." Lu Mingfei shook his head slightly.

They chose to split into two groups: Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi went to the Laiyuan Clan Heavy Industries to scout out the location, while Sakurai Akira and Chu Zihang went to the Snake-Headed Eight Family Shrine to scout out the location.

Xia Mi asked, "Genji Heavy Industries is the workplace of the Snake Clan, so the interior must be being renovated. The blueprints they submitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government must be inaccurate. Should we go in and check it out?"

The Sheqi Eight Families only had two important sites: the family shrine was located deep in the mountains, while the Minamoto clan's main building, being a large-scale structure, would certainly have required the submission of architectural plans to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

They had already received and seen the design drawings and had a certain understanding of the black building.

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment: "There are too many hybrids in Genji Heavy Industries, so it's probably not that easy to infiltrate them."

Such a large organization as the Snake Clan must have a lot of shady dealings inside, so security must be top-notch. It's not something you can just sneak in by carrying a ladder and changing into a repairman's uniform.

"Then what do we do? Sneak in through the sewers?"

Genji Heavy Industries' design drawings naturally included an underground drainage system, which had more entrances than the above-ground building with only four doors on the front, back, left, and right.

"Let's find the most important figures in the Snake-Headed Eight Families first. The highest-ranking is the patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, head of the Tachibana family, followed by Inuyama He, head of the Inuyama family and branch manager of Kassel College in Japan..."

After looking at it, Xia Mi asked in confusion, "Why is the information for this Uesugi family head, Uesugi Erii, blank?"

Other important figures from the Snake Clan will have additional information available.

But when it came to the head of the Uesugi family, there was only a name and a headshot from who-knows-when... It was even more blank than a math exam question; at least a math question can be solved.

They're just like college students who coast through four years of university; all they write is their name, a headshot, their resume, experience, awards... it's all blank.

“Because she rarely appears in public,” Lu Mingfei said. “Without any activities outside, naturally no information about her has leaked out.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi immediately said, "It's all so mysterious; there must be something strange about this."

“There’s something strange going on, but we can’t find anyone…” Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Xia Mi's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at the Genji Heavy Industries building, then she looked down at the photo on her phone, pointed in that direction, and said, "Uesugi Erii, is that her?"

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei looked in the direction she was pointing.

A red-haired girl dressed as a Japanese shrine maiden, carrying a large bag, sneaked out of the side door of Genji Heavy Industries, hugging the wall as she went...

His timid, hunched-over, and shady manner made him look like a child who had made a mistake and was about to run away.

"This……"

This situation is a bit strange. The system can't figure out what Uesugi Erii is up to. It just silently restores her three-dimensional face image through her profile.

[…Eri Uesugi, female, head of the Uesugi family of the Hebihachi clan in Japan. Without makeup, her natural beauty would be rated 8.7 out of 10. Due to differing personal preferences, different people might find her less or more beautiful, her score fluctuating between 8 and 10. However, even those who don't like her type wouldn't consider her unattractive; her basic beauty is extremely high…]

After analyzing the data, the system added her to its mission objectives.

Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi were still confused and looked at the red-haired girl who was walking along the wall like a thief.

Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "That should be Uesugi Erii, right?"

Although the photos in the file are probably from several years ago, before her face had fully developed, you can still vaguely see the basic features of her face now that she's grown up.

Bone structure is a real thing; some people have good-looking faces regardless of whether they are fat or thin, because their bone structure is there.

"Probably? But given her situation... she's a grown woman, why would she be afraid of her parents?"

Although the system conveniently added her to the mission objectives, it couldn't figure out what Erii was up to with her actions.

Judging from the posture, it looks like a child who has made a mistake and is afraid of being scolded by their parents.

"That shouldn't be the case." Xia Mi didn't believe it either, but she didn't know what the other person was up to. Were they playing hide-and-seek with someone? But would someone play hide-and-seek carrying a big cloth bag?

That cloth bag looks like it was wrapped in a bed sheet... The more I look at it, the more something seems off.

The two dared not do anything reckless downstairs at Genji Heavy Industries, and could only watch as the girl, who looked like a thief, slipped out through the side door and ran to the intersection.

Then I watched as she stood there, staring blankly at the intersection.

Why isn't she leaving?

"They look like they're dumbfounded..."

……

"The head of the Uesugi family has run away!"

"What? Where did they go? Did you lose them?"

"The head of the Uesugi family has come downstairs and reached the intersection, but he hasn't left."

"Quickly, bring her back! Don't let her wander around outside, to avoid any accidents!"

The Uesugi family head's departure from home caught everyone off guard, as no one expected her to do such a thing.

So much so that when she suddenly launched her plan, many people were caught off guard and she managed to slip out of the intensive care unit, carrying her runaway baggage downstairs.

She walked downstairs, mainly because she didn't know many people, including Uesugi Erii.

Several people encountered her, but seeing that she came down from upstairs, they didn't ask any questions. In fact, because of the bed sheet bundle she was carrying, they all assumed she was there to collect her belongings.

By the time those above belatedly realized that the head of the Uesugi family had actually run away from home, Uesugi Erii had already reached the intersection.

Fortunately, Erii stood still at the intersection and did not blindly run away.

The doctor, dressed in a white coat, steeled himself and walked up behind her, greeting her softly, "Ms. Uesugi!"

The doctor was already someone who knew her well among the people present. The few people who had followed her over knew more or less about Ms. Uesugi's special status, so none of them dared to speak to her.

The only option was for the doctor examining her to approach and greet her, in order to avoid upsetting her.

But Uesugi Erii, who was stunned, did not reply and did not even move her body.

This made the person standing behind her dare not make any rash moves, and the doctor also shut his mouth.

They prayed silently that someone capable would arrive quickly to communicate with the head of the Uesugi family, and they kept praying that the head of the Uesugi family would stay there and not move...

Tachibana Masamune and Genji Wakasa quickly came downstairs.

Their appearance finally relieved the people who had been chasing after them. With the patriarch and the head of the Yuan family here, the blue sky was clear!

Seeing Erii standing blankly at the intersection, Tachibana Masamune and Genji exchanged a glance.

Genji spoke softly from behind her: "Eri."

Erii heard his voice and turned around abruptly. Only then did people notice that tears were streaming down her face.

……

"Tachibana Masamune, Genjiro, and Uesugi Erii—three heavyweight figures have appeared all at once… It seems like it was caused by Uesugi Erii running away. Is her running away a serious matter?"

Across the street, Xia Mi, who had watched the entire drama, said to Lu Mingfei, "And most of the people who followed were doctors. Could it be that Uesugi Erii has some kind of illness?"

After reading the system's analysis, Lu Mingfei stroked his chin and said, "The head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families shouldn't be an ordinary person. Mai Shude's mother was a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, but she was an ordinary person. So she didn't even know about the hybrid race until Mai Shude awakened her bloodline and learned about the Snake-Headed Eight Families."

From this perspective, the members of the Snake Clan must be predominantly hybrids... If a hybrid is sick, I'd rather it's due to a problem with her bloodline, since the White King's bloodline is indeed prone to going out of control.

The dragon blood in hybrids can not only enhance a person's basic physical attributes, but also provide them with a certain level of immunity to diseases.

The domineering dragon blood will not cause diseases in the body that ordinary creatures suffer from, but hybrids only have one fatal disease - bloodline disorder.

"Huh? If we follow your line of thinking, then we can understand why they treated Erii so carefully, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly..."

Xia Mi followed Lu Mingfei's train of thought, then looked up at him in shock and said, "Even with the bloodline out of control, they still let her sit in the position of family head, unwilling to give it up, besides her background..."

"And her power of words."

Lu Mingfei said to her, "Top-tier Word Spirits are rare and hard to come by. If Uesugi Erii possesses a top-tier Word Spirit, then it would explain why she needs a doctor by her side, and why she has hardly ever shown her face in public all these years."

Because she was undergoing treatment, the Snake-Headed Eight Family dared not let her roam freely, fearing her bloodline might go out of control and cause a direct attack on Tokyo.

There are many mixed-race people in the world, but there are very few top-tier mixed-race individuals.

The high purity of dragon blood in top-tier hybrids makes their awakened incantations even more powerful.

For example, Xia Mi's precepts are numbered 106 in the periodic table of words of power compiled by the Secret Society, which corresponds to the purity of the bloodline of the next generation!

Above that is the world-destroying power of the first-generation Dragon King's Word of Power.

"Could it be a world-destroying incantation from the White King faction?" Xia Mi's lips twitched.

Chapter 92 I must have her!

"A world-destroying incantation from the White King faction?"
