Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Although a large portion of the alchemical matrices that Lu Mingfei had cast on himself collapsed when he used his Word of Power, some of the alchemical matrices did not collapse and remained in place.

Therefore, the places guarded by those alchemical matrices continue to suppress the bloodline within their bodies.

But how can I tell my brothers...? Lu Mingfei told me not to mention his affairs to them...

Yuan Zhisheng got up and pressed the doctor for his opinion.

After asking the question, he glanced at Erii, who was ignoring the doctor and continuing to play her game with her head down.

Erii must have something going on with her trip. Doctors can detect the abnormality in her bloodline.

What's puzzling is what's wrong with Erii.

Meanwhile, in the ward, Uesugi Kotetsu, having washed himself clean and with not a single hair left on his face, "woke up." Seeing that only Inuyama He was in the ward, he said to Inuyama He, "I'm so angry! That kid got away! Did you guys catch him?"

"No, Head of the Uesugi family, please calm down."

"Calm down my ass! So it wasn't your daughter who got messed up, huh? Try doing that to yourself!"

Inuyama He didn't speak. He could understand Uesugi Kotsu's impotent rage... But then again, you, as a father, have such grown-up sons and daughters, and you only learned of their existence through me.

Erii was so easily kidnapped, and you, as her father, are completely blameless?

However, it's not appropriate for him to say such things; it would be more meaningful if it were said by someone like Genjiro or Erii.

Uesugi Koshi's impotent rage abruptly ceased with the arrival of Tachibana Masamune.

"Who are you?" Uesugi Koshi asked.

Tachibana Masamune bowed 90 degrees to Uesugi Kotsugu on the sickbed and said, "Tachibana Masamune, the current head of the Tachibana family and the current head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, greets Head Uesugi."

"Oh, so you're Tachibana Masamune." Uesugi Kotetsu's anger subsided, and he asked, "Where did you find Genjiro and Uesugi Erii? Do you know who their mother is?"

“I don’t know about that.” Tachibana Masamune shook his head.

He dared not tell Uesugi Koshi about the Black Swan Harbor incident. Uesugi Koshi was not a merciful Genjiro. If this Class A war criminal from World War II knew about his affairs, Uesugi Koshi would probably not mind taking another life on his hands.

Tachibana Masamune understood the principle of speaking human language to human beings and ghost language to ghosts.

"You don't know how you found them so precisely?" Uesugi Koshi frowned.

“Because I didn’t know about their existence from the beginning,” Tachibana Masamune said slowly. “I only learned about the existence of Genjiro and Erii by chance.”

"How coincidental was it?" Uesugi asked.

"It all started when I learned my true identity..." Tachibana Masamune began to weave a ghost story.

Chapter 120 The Story of Tachibana Masamune

Su Enxi's people arrived and took the timid Old Tang away. The system also had no interest in chatting with Xia Mi and the others. Its body was still depleted, and resting and sleeping more to recover was the right thing to do...

However, before going to sleep, I still need to coordinate the next steps with Su Enxi, such as having Sakurai Akira bring people back to Japan.

Su Enxi simply hummed in agreement to such a trivial matter. It was just a matter of smuggling a few people to Japan; she had a hundred ways to ensure success, and she could even get the Snake Clan to help with the delivery...

Then she learned about the rescue of these dangerous hybrids and discovered that during the Qingshan Charity School operation, Lu Mingfei had completely delegated the work to his three subordinates while he was busy chasing girls in Tokyo... She couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, Mr. Lu is so ruthless! How come he's so much like our boss? Is this what they call brotherly chemistry?"

Their boss is the same way; he assigns them a task and then ignores them completely...

“Potato Chips, you spoke ill of the boss, I’ve noted it down for Zero,” said Mai Shude. “Then when are you guys coming to Japan? I’m almost overwhelmed by my own efforts. Japan has been stirred up by our dear Mr. Lu with just a few words, and it’s immediately become a whirlpool.”

"Japan is too dangerous, I won't go. I'm your strong support, and nothing can go wrong with me." Su Enxi clicked her tongue and said, "I'll send Zero to help you. But why are you so busy? Are you not capable enough?"

"Pah! Don't try to provoke me. Without me, would you even know what's going on in Japan? You still have the nerve to say I'm not capable enough."

However, Mai Shude added, "Uesugi Erii and Uesugi Koshi truly live up to their reputation as super hybrids. You weren't there when they started fighting, so you have no idea how intense their battle was. If they really got really worked up, the area within a two-kilometer radius of downtown Tokyo would definitely be reduced to ruins... And they're just humans. I can't even imagine how terrifying Xia Mi, who's by Young Master Lu's side, would be if she unleashed her power. It's fortunate that Young Master Lu doesn't know about this..."

Mai Shude was already a top-tier hybrid, with unparalleled physical abilities and close-quarters combat skills. However, after witnessing this battle between top-tier hybrids firsthand, she realized how insignificant humans truly are...

Lu Mingfei, who triggered the Monarch Flame and caused an explosion comparable to napalm, was already quite powerful. However, in the face of the two super-powerful incantations, Black Sun and Judgment, he probably wouldn't even have the right to struggle.

A living, breathing humanoid sub-nuclear weapon, with physical abilities comparable to Superman.

Erii could easily slash Uesugi Kotsugi's back with the invisible blade of judgment; if Mai Shutoku were to do the same, it would be questionable whether her skin would even be intact.

Xia Mi, who was beside Lu Mingfei, was the Dragon King! She was far more powerful and invincible than these two super hybrids.

Every time she thought about this, she would break out in a cold sweat for Lu Mingfei. Getting so close to Xia Mi was like having a nuclear bomb in his pocket... It was terrifying...

Su Enxi said, "Our Young Master Lu also has a remarkable record. He went head-to-head with a monster like Sugihara. Putting aside the destructive power of his words, well, let's just say we can include it. Anyway, in terms of combat right now, Young Master Lu could probably crush you and Zero in the ground."

Mai didn't refute it; there was really no need. So what if she was simply less skilled? She accepted it; it was the truth anyway.

……

Tachibana Masamune told Uesugi Kotsugi that he was an orphan in the former Soviet Union... He was very smart and hardworking. After obtaining his doctorate, he gained the appreciation of his doctoral supervisor with his excellent grades and abilities. His supervisor also gained the appreciation of important figures and was able to enter the Moscow political arena. This supervisor wanted Tachibana Masamune to be his assistant and at the same time bring Tachibana Masamune into the Moscow political arena.

In the end, his mentor went in, but he didn't. Because the person who appreciated his mentor was very capable, he was thoroughly investigated by the KGB, who discovered that his background was suspicious...

He began investigating his own origins.

Taking advantage of his mentor's connections in the Soviet political arena, he began investigating his own identity, only to discover a major discrepancy.

He, Tachibana Masamune, was adopted by a Moscow orphanage around the same time as a large group of Moscow orphans... It was because of this background that he was rejected by the Soviet Union's political vetting process.

He began to trace the origins of these orphans and discovered that their emergence in batches was not an isolated case...

The political scene in Moscow during that era was in constant turmoil, and the Soviet Union, this red giant, was on the verge of collapse. In 1990, Lithuania, one of the Baltic states, declared its independence from the Soviet Union, and anyone with a discerning eye could sense that the Soviet Union was facing serious problems.

The turbulent situation provided Tachibana Masamune with great convenience. People who were worried about the future had no intention of fulfilling their duties. This allowed Tachibana Masamune to use his position as a mentor to intimidate others while simultaneously offering bribes, a two-pronged approach.

After some maneuvering, he successfully obtained documents about his identity. Following the trail of those documents, he discovered his birthplace—a secret orphanage in Siberia, within the Arctic Circle.

The orphanage was located on an unnamed port, far from the hustle and bustle of the world. Only one icebreaker, the "Lenin," would go there each year to deliver a year's worth of supplies to the people at the unnamed port base...

He spent money in Moscow to have a fake identity made, and embarked on a journey to find out his lost origins.

But before he entered that port, his mentor told him something earth-shattering: the internal contradictions in the former Soviet Union had reached an irreconcilable point, and the Red Giant might become history!

This incident facilitated Tachibana Masamune's access to the port and his deeper understanding of its secrets. Because the closed port was unaware of what was happening outside, Tachibana Masamune, with a forged identity and a fake check worth one hundred million dollars, successfully learned about the real world from Dr. Herzog, the port's manager.

Hybrids, dragons, and Herzog's mastery of hybrid cloning technology!

Herzog himself was a genius, the youngest chief of the Institute of Biology at the German Academy of Sciences. Back then, at the Institute of Biology, he mainly studied hybrid races. After the Soviet army entered Berlin, Herzog was sent to Siberia by a high-ranking Soviet official to secretly work in his area of ​​expertise.

Tachibana Masamune is a product of Herzog's hybrid cloning technology. His biological mother was a woman from Japan, which is why he has an East Asian appearance.

However, Herzog's technology was not yet mature when Tachibana Masamune was created, and these failed experiments were sent back to human society. This led to the KGB discovering that Tachibana Masamune's identity was questionable...

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kotsushi's eyes suddenly widened. His lack of eyebrows made him look quite comical, but that didn't diminish his shock: "Genjiro and Erii are also products of Herzog's cloning technology?"

“That should be the case.” Tachibana Masamune nodded. “Now it seems that back then, you, the head of the Uesugi family, provided Herzog with some materials, and he successfully conceived Genji and Uesugi Erii using those materials.”

Uesugi Kotsu jumped out of bed, anxiously pacing around the ward in his oversized hospital gown. Then he slapped his bald head and said, "I remember now. Back when Japan and Germany formed an alliance, Germany was researching hybrid races. The old folks in my family pinned their hopes on biotechnology for the imperial bloodline, so I donated some to Germany. I never imagined that half a century later, it would actually succeed!"

It is too difficult to continue the imperial bloodline through normal human reproduction. Otherwise, the three upper families would not have been reduced to having only Uesugi Echizen as their sole heir. At the request of those old guys who hoped to continue the imperial bloodline, Uesugi Echizen obtained some and gave it to Germany.

He never imagined that the seed he planted casually seventy years ago would only begin to bear fruit fifty years later…

Inuyama Kazuya hadn't expected Tachibana Masamune to have such a background. Seeing that Uesugi Kotsugi was almost dumbfounded and unable to continue asking questions, he continued, "What happened next? Is that port still there? Why did you come to Japan again?"

Masamune Tachibana sighed and said, "Because Herzog is a greedy human being, after learning from me that the Soviet Union was about to collapse, he set his sights on my checks and wanted to leave that port to continue his research."

However, I never expected that while he appeared so honest with me, he was also deceiving me. His research was already complete, and the continued existence of the port would only expose him. He shot me with a pistol and then buried the entire port, along with me, in the blizzard.

Because he dealt with me early, I was buried by the blizzard outside. But because I'm a mirror image, the bullet he shot at my heart didn't kill me. The blizzard, amidst the vacuum bomb's explosion, actually became a shield protecting me. I survived and left that port.

The Lenin, which was supposed to be delivering supplies to the port, sank in the Sea of ​​Japan for no apparent reason. This gave Tachibana Masamune another clue, and he followed the scent.

Inuyama He nodded. He had heard a little about this matter, because a ship built for extreme environments would not suddenly sink in the area where the Lenin sank unless there was a severe storm. This matter was too bizarre. The Kassel College thought there were items related to dragons on the ship and had been searching for it, but it was extremely difficult. The place where the ship sank was below the Japan Trench, which is 8000 meters deep... Inuyama He suddenly froze, and his pupils shrank.

He was somewhat familiar with the term "sea area with a depth of 8 kilometers" because Uesugi Kotsu had asked him to look it up before!

Could it be that...? He glanced at the still dazed Uesugi Kotsugi, suppressed his doubts, and continued to ask, "And then?"

Masamune Tachibana continued, "Then I waited for Herzog at the site of the shipwreck. He certainly wouldn't be willing to accept that the ship had suddenly sunk there."

I succeeded. A small boat went to the wreck site and circled around, unwilling to leave. I simply shot the boat through with my submachine gun before boarding to search for its trail. However, there was only an Asian face on board. I wasn't sure if it was Herzog, but through the boat and the man's face, I found his residence and discovered what appeared to be Herzog's diary.

In his diary, he recorded who he gave away to raise Genjiro, Genjiro, and Erii. At that time, I didn't know why he recorded the whereabouts of these three children. After taking a glimpse of them from afar, I fell into confusion about their future…

Herzog, this "enemy," is probably dead. The Soviet Union has also dissolved, and his mentor in Moscow was purged amidst the chaos. It seems he has nowhere to go...

Tachibana Masamune then found the Snake-Headed Eight Families, returned to his family, and only then did he gain a full understanding of the world of hybrids.

However, he didn't know which family he belonged to, so he underwent testing... and it turned out that he, Tachibana Masamune, actually carried the bloodlines of three families!

Inuyama He remained silent. At that time, he still held considerable power, and he had even participated in the verification of Tachibana Masamune's bloodline from the three upper families...

However, the bloodlines of the three families above are probably not that common... Could it be that Tachibana Masamune is also Uesugi Kotsu's child? After all, they are all of Japanese blood and were both born under Herzog's care. It was only because the technology at the time of Tachibana Masamune's birth was not mature that Tachibana Masamune was reduced to an ordinary mixed-race.

This seems normal; Uesugi Erii caused problems and couldn't stably inherit the imperial bloodline... Inuyama He looked at Tachibana Masamune strangely, gauging how much Tachibana Masamune resembled Uesugi Etsu.

Tachibana Masamune said, "Later, when I went back to find Uesugi Erii and the Genji brothers, I discovered that Uesugi Erii had encountered a serious problem. It was from this point that I learned Herzog's experiment was complete, although not entirely successful. So I paid more attention to the Genji brothers..."

……

Sakurai Akira led his men off the ship. These dangerous hybrids, having left the ship that had been swaying and rocking in the sea, felt a sense of rebirth as they stepped onto solid ground.

I curiously looked at the Chinese coastline, as if I had entered a completely new world.

"Come on, I'll take you to your accommodation first, where you can learn English, Chinese, and other things."

At that moment, Akira Sakurai took out his phone and looked at the text messages that had arrived after they had docked.

Lu Mingfei: "Take a few people back to Japan, and I'll help them implant the alchemy matrix first."

"So they're already implanting the alchemical matrix?" Sakurai Akira paused for a moment, then looked at the dangerous hybrids following behind him, peering out at the coastline.

Most dangerous mixed-race individuals enter school at a very young age and may have been to the beach, but due to the passage of time, their childhood memories are extremely vague.

When they boarded the ship last night, although they could hear the sound of the waves, the darkness and the tension of being kidnapped made them unable to properly look at the sea.

Now they can finally see the coastline from the textbooks.

Akira Sakurai's closest friend noticed something was wrong with him and leaned closer to him, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"My boss asked me to pick a few people to take back to Japan so he can handle their bloodlines," Sakurai Akira said. "I'm thinking about who to bring."

The exact number of people wasn't given; three or nine was possible, seemingly giving them room to maneuver.

Upon hearing this, his friend immediately looked at him with excited, longing eyes.
