Back in the movie "A Better Tomorrow," when Mark Gor massacred Maple Leaf House, he knew to hide his gun in a flowerpot. The Snake Clan would certainly be no different. Similar arsenals are numerous within the building.
Sakurai Nanami pulled out a shoulder-fired Javelin anti-tank missile, unleashed the Word of Immortality "Immortal," and charged towards the end of the corridor amidst a hail of bullets.
After Sakurai Nanami rushed out, everyone felt much more at ease. Everyone present was an elite of mixed races, and Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune were still "Emperors." The only one who could probably handle the Apache helicopter outside the building was Sakurai Nanami.
Only he could withstand the machine gun's firepower with the powerful defensive capabilities of the "Immortal" Word of Power and launch a counterattack with anti-tank missiles.
No one else, including Genjiro, is acceptable.
"Bagaya road!"
Sakurai Nanami's roar and the sound of anti-tank missiles being launched came from the end of the corridor, followed by the roar of an armed helicopter hitting the target head-on, which exploded into a cloud of fireworks over Tokyo.
The dense gunfire ceased.
The head of the Sakurai family rushed back, his expensive suit riddled with bullet holes, drenched in sweat as if he'd been soaked in water, and plopped down on the ground: "Done!"
"Immediately send someone from the medical department to take the patriarch to the emergency room. Also, put everyone on high alert. We'll tally the casualties and losses at headquarters later. Bring out all our heavy weapons; the enemy is very likely to launch another attack on the Genji Heavy Industries building."
Genjiro roared hoarsely, but his arrangements were very organized. Only after he finished making the arrangements did Genjiro realize that Tachibana Masamune had only been severely injured and was not dead yet.
“I’m sorry, Dad, I didn’t…” The lion in his eyes disappeared, and Genji lowered his head to indicate that he had no intention of seizing power.
No, you don't need to explain.
The severely injured Tachibana Masamune pressed down on Genji's hand, interrupting him before he could finish speaking, his eyes filled with relief: "It's time for you to shoulder your responsibilities, just like the Corleone family members after the old Godfather was attacked in 'The Godfather'."
But I want you to be Mike, not Sonny, and certainly not Fredo, do you understand?
While I'm recovering from my injuries, I'm entrusting the Snake Clan to you. One day you'll have to shoulder the responsibility. If you encounter anything you're truly unsure about, come to me.
Everyone present understood what Tachibana Masamune meant.
"The Godfather" is a movie that every gang member in the world must watch. Even members of the Japanese mafia are no exception.
In the film, Sonny, the eldest son of the original Godfather, is brave but reckless, and is killed in a hail of bullets by the enemy. Fredo, the second son, is a traitor and is shot dead by the second Godfather. Only the second Godfather, Michael Corleone, is both brave and resourceful.
In addition, during the period immediately following Michael Corleone's appointment, the retired Godfather served as his strategist.
When Tachibana Masamune mentioned "The Godfather," it was as if he was handing over power. At this critical juncture, it was indeed the best time to transfer some power, but the severely wounded Tachibana Masamune was unable to handle everything as efficiently as he had in the past.
The medical staff came again, then left again, taking Tachibana Masamune back to the intensive care unit.
Fully armed members of the Snake Clan, dressed in black suits, filled the rooftop corridor. Everyone in the entire building sprang into action, ready to defend against any possible renewed attack.
Yuan Zhisheng stood in the center of a group of important figures, the hem of his tattered trench coat swaying slightly in the strong wind. His eyes were resolute and dignified. With his father suffering a serious injury, he had to establish his authority as soon as possible.
It wasn't about seizing power, but about giving people confidence.
Erii's bedroom door suddenly opened from the inside, and the shrine maiden, who was preparing to run away from home the next day, peeked out and peered at Genjiro while clinging to the door frame.
The tense atmosphere in the corridor vanished instantly. Everyone, including the head of the family, Sakurai Nanami, Miyamoto Shio, and others, forced a smile and nodded and smiled at the girl who had pulled out her head, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.
All members of the Snake Clan regard Erii as a princess, and this will never change, no matter how powerful or dangerous her bloodline is.
Genjiro ran up to Erii, lowered his head, and scolded her sternly, "Why did you come out? Didn't you say you were going to sleep?"
I can't sleep because I hear a lot of noise outside.
Erii explained in sign language, looking aggrieved: with missiles, machine guns, and helicopters exploding and crashing, who could sleep peacefully in that situation?
After explaining, Erii used sign language to volunteer: "Brother, do you need my help? I will kill all the bad guys who bully you."
As long as Erii can take action, the situation can be reversed in an instant, and everything will be fine. This is the consensus of all members of the Snake Clan.
This girl, as fragile as a crystal sculpture, possesses destructive and murderous abilities that leave all mixed-race individuals speechless and in awe.
Perhaps even Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, the ancestors of the Snake Clan, could not compare to her.
The armed helicopter that had overwhelmed Genjiro and rendered the high-ranking members of the Snake Clan helpless was nothing more than a matter of opening one's mouth for this porcelain doll.
"No need, we've just run into a little trouble, I'll handle everything. Your task now is to put on your nightcap, go back to your bed, and get a good night's sleep to greet the sunrise tomorrow."
Genjiro tightened his lips and tenderly ruffled the girl's hair. He would never let Erii take action unless it was a matter of life and death and Erii was the only one who could do it.
The side effects of the Word of Judgment are too great. Each use may cause Erii's unstable bloodline to riot, eventually leading to internal organ failure and shortening her lifespan.
He would much rather Erii live a normal and peaceful life as the eldest daughter and little princess of the Snake Clan, rather than existing indifferently as a humanoid weapon.
If you can't hold on, come to me anytime, I'll protect you!
Erii made a sign language gesture with a determined look in her eyes. She clenched her small fist and patted her slender, soft arm under her sleeve, indicating that she had plenty of strength and means.
that's the truth.
Erii's body does have various problems such as internal organ failure and unstable bloodline, but she is not "fragile"; she is just sick.
Even a pureblood dragon that is terminally ill can still easily overturn a car and utterly crush any conventional hybrid.
"I'll definitely come to Erii for help when I can't hold on anymore. Erii is the strongest!" Genji affirmed Erii's courage.
After calming down his seemingly weak but actually fierce younger sister and coaxing Erii back to her bedroom, Genjiro returned to the center of power, facing the expectant gazes of everyone.
"Sakura, immediately go to Sangenjaya and send the Northern Qi prince back to the Kassel campus. Have Professor Guderian keep the Kassel faculty and students in check."
The news that the Oni Clan raided the Genji Heavy Industries building with armed helicopters, even using missiles, will likely soon explode in major media outlets around the world, making the people of Kassel realize just how chaotic Tokyo is right now.
"You must not let the people of Kassel know about the existence of the Demon Clan. This is crucial to the future survival of the Snake Clan in the world of hybrids. Everyone will cooperate with your actions."
The sudden attack by armed helicopters did not disrupt Genjiro's plans. After taking over power from Tachibana Masamune, Genjiro's first order was still related to the Northern Qi prince and Kassel.
The head of the Inuyama family and the elders all nodded in approval and approval of Genjiro's decision. The great battle between the Snake Clan and the Demon Clan must be carried out without Kassel's notice; this is an inviolable bottom line.
"Hi!"
Sakura Yabuki, looking disheveled, bowed slightly, accepted the order with a serious expression, turned around, and hurried towards the elevator.
After arranging the primary tasks, the overwhelmed Genjiro finally entered the meeting room with Inuyama He and other family heads and elders. Amidst the chaos, they exchanged information in an orderly manner and made various arrangements.
Chapter 147: Global Sensation
In a small alleyway shop where neon lights can't reach, Makoto Aso sits opposite Kawaii, his hands gently holding a milk jug, his wrists slightly raised, letting the dense milk foam slide like silk into the brown lake surface.
Hold your breath and guide the milk flow with your fingertips – a simple cat smiley face latte art pattern is created in the coffee cup.
"it is good!"
Before Aso Makoto could put down the milk cup, Kakui and Uesugi Kotsugu immediately applauded, cheering for the girl's masterpiece.
"Takagi-kun and Uesugi-senpai's reactions are too exaggerated. I just drew a very rough kitten, and your reactions are as exaggerated as if I drew the Mona Lisa in a coffee cup."
Asou Makoto put down the milk cup, her slender fingers nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, a faint smile playing on her lips. The aroma of coffee enveloped the perfect moment, quietly spreading out.
"Being able to draw a kitten is already quite impressive."
Dressed in a suit, Uesugi looked at the pattern on the coffee cup and sighed, "If it were me, I would just pour the milk foam into the coffee cup haphazardly, stir it a few times, and end up with a mediocre cappuccino or latte."
"Steadfast cappuccino and latte enthusiasts probably won't be very happy to hear what you're saying, sir."
With his arms propped up on the table, Gao Kui joked, "A cappuccino is steamed milk with lots of milk foam, while a latte is lots of milk with a little milk foam. The difference is quite significant."
"How big is it?" Uesugi asked casually.
麻生真讲出在女仆咖啡店学到的知识：“卡布奇诺的三者比例是1比1比1，拿铁的三者比例是1比3比0.5。”
"One shot of espresso and three shots of milk?" Uesugi Koshi's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
"Yes." The girl nodded.
"If you ask me, the latte should be expelled from the coffee category. It should be called coffee-flavored latte milk instead of latte coffee," Uesugi Koshi bluntly criticized latte coffee.
Gao Kui chuckled and casually chimed in, "It's like how English sausages should be renamed 'Emulsified High-Fat Offal Bucket'."
Uesugi Koshi's eyes lit up: "Yes, Minister, you've actually seen this political comedy?"
The English sausage should be renamed "Emulsified High-Fat Offal Bucket" because it has too little meat content. This plot comes from the last two episodes of the "Yes, Minister" series.
"I've seen both of them, and they're my absolute favorite comedies. I haven't seen Chaplin's Modern Times, but these two are the best comedies I've ever seen; they're my personal comedy masterpieces."
"Modern Times, that's a very good movie too. Chaplin was a very talented person..."
Gao Kui and Uesugi Koshi sat facing each other, chatting about everything from a cup of coffee to BBC political sitcoms, then to Charlie Chaplin, their topics shifting quite quickly.
Asou Makoto sat next to Takagi, leaning against him with her hands supporting her chin. Although she couldn't understand anything, she listened with great joy as Takagi and Uesugi Etsu chatted about all sorts of things.
Because she liked him so much, all of Gao Kui's flaws became virtues in the girl's eyes.
Thoughts racing, behavior a bit strange, attention wandering? That's just a sign of active, unrestrained thinking and bursting with talent!
The geniuses in movies are all like that, such as Howard in "The Aviator" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Will in "Good Will Hunting" starring Matt Damon.
Most importantly, Gao Kui is even more handsome than Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, and handsome men are more easily forgiven for whatever they do.
"Hello, your curry."
The petite female shop assistant interrupted Gao Kui and Uesugi Yue's conversation, served three steaming hot curry rice dishes to the three of them, and then returned to the counter to secretly observe the somewhat strange trio.
The pretty girl and the even more handsome boy are probably boyfriend and girlfriend. Neither of them are related to the handsome old man by blood, and the three of them get along very well with each other.
It was neither like a date between young couples nor a family gathering; in short, it was quite strange.
Aso Shin took a napkin from her small bag and, playing the role of a virtuous wife, bent down to carefully wrap it around Gao Kui's collar. The boy, holding a spoon, frowned slightly: "This is too much trouble."
"Gao Kui-jun's clothes are so expensive, it would be even more troublesome if they got dirty. I heard online that there are all sorts of taboos when it comes to cleaning designer clothes."
"Maybe, but the clothes and shoes I'm wearing today cost less than 10,000 yen in total. If they get dirty, I'll just throw them in the washing machine."
Gao Kui was wearing the clothes he and Chen Motong had bought for free in the Nibelungen before, which originally cost only a few hundred yuan. The tag on the clothes seemed to indicate that they could not be washed or machine-washed, but Gao Kui always just threw them in the washing machine.
"But clothes look bad when they're dirty. Does that mean Gao Kui-kun wants to take me to the shopping street to buy new clothes again, like last time?"
Aso Makoto brought up his last date, saying that it was only a few days ago. After Takagi got his clothes dirty, he took the girl to a shopping street in Shinjuku under the pretext of buying clothes and bought her a lot of clothes.
Having lived in Japan for decades and attended dozens of high schools, Gao Kui has a fairly good understanding of the atmosphere between Japanese high schools. Girls who are frugal and only have a few sets of clothes to change into are likely to encounter discrimination and targeting from their classmates.
So Gao Kui took the girl to buy a lot of clothes, all of which were currently popular or had classic styles. They weren't very expensive, but they weren't cheap either.
Such meticulous care and pampering made Aso Makoto feel flattered and somewhat ashamed.
After dating for only a week, Gao Kui had arranged everything in her life perfectly.
Using the excuse that Adachi Ward was unsafe and unsuitable for elderly people living alone and young girls, they rented new houses for them in Bunkyo Ward. And citing the long commute to school and the low quality of education at her current school, they swiftly arranged a transfer for her…
Although he didn't give her money directly, everything Gao Kui did for her in the past week required a lot of money, and he seemed to enjoy it.
"Why not? Don't you really want to wear pretty clothes for me?" Gao Kui used the sweet talk he had learned from Caesar.
