Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

"I don't know the location, but I do know of a Ghost Clan outpost in Tokyo. There are two Ghost Clan members there, but they are just low-level members and have no information about the higher-ups' operations, at least not about Erii's recent incident."

For someone of Inuyama He's caliber, such minor characters wouldn't deserve any credit, so it's better to keep them around. Who knows, one of them might get promoted or become a big shot someday.

Upon hearing that Inuyama He had no intelligence, Uesugi Kotsushi began to feel fear and back down again.

"We've found out. Genji is currently tracking Erii's whereabouts, near Akihabara."

"Then let's go." Uesugi seemed to have made a great decision, both afraid and eager to see his son.

……

The car continued forward, but Erii didn't know where she wanted to go after leaving Tokyo.

She just wanted to go out and explore, but she didn't know which destinations were fun. She had already experienced the glitz and glamour of Tokyo, and wanted to see beautiful sights she had never seen before.

Lu Mingfei initially planned to take her to see Mount Fuji.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei only knew about this great volcano from books; he was less familiar with Mount Fuji than Fuji Red Apple.

All I know is that if Mount Fuji erupts, Japan will likely suffer a great disaster, and then there will be the cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji.

However, as Xia Mi had mentioned before, there were no cherry blossoms to see at this time of year, as the cherry blossoms throughout Japan had not yet bloomed.

"Lu Mingfei, actually I want to go back," Erii said softly.

“Going back is fine, of course. Are you worried that your brother and the others will be concerned?” Lu Mingfei did not stop Erii from returning to the Snake-Headed Eight Family.

In fact, it could be said that Erii returning to the Snake-Headed Eight Families is what the system most desires. Outside, without the support of her status as the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, Erii is just an ordinary, unremarkable super hybrid, much like Natsumi.

However, returning to the Uesugi family head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, one becomes a high-ranking member of this massive ship! With Erii back home and resources at her disposal, she was finally able to help Lu Mingfei...

Because of her unstable bloodline, the head of the Uesugi family could only stay in the intensive care unit and was unable to participate in politics. But now that her bloodline has stabilized, shouldn't those regents give the head of the Uesugi family back the rights she deserves?

Don't you know how to fight for power and profit? Don't you know how to enhance your prestige and win people's hearts?

The system can create difficulties for Erii to solve even when there are none...

“Yes.” Erii was a little downcast. “I’ve been out for five days. In the past, my bloodline would have been close to the limit of going out of control. My brother and the others must have been very worried about me.”

In the past, she would have received the serum injection about 5 days later, just to be on the safe side.

She had previously planned to push herself to the limit and play for a week because of her health problems. But now, with Lu Mingfei's help, her health has temporarily recovered, and she no longer needs to cherish this hard-won "freedom" as before.

"Then go back tomorrow morning?"

"Yes." Erii nodded gently and asked, "Are we good friends?"

In the few days since she left, Lu Mingfei has instilled in her a lot of common sense and knowledge, enabling her to successfully escape her state of being a half-mentally challenged girl... and become a slightly half-mentally challenged girl...

For example, she never suspected Lu Mingfei's identity... or maybe she was afraid that if her identity were revealed, he wouldn't take her out to play anymore?

Lu Mingfei looked into Erii's eyes, somewhat unsure of his own thoughts.

This girl is just a blank slate in terms of cognition, not mentally challenged. On the contrary, she's quite smart, so it's perfectly normal for her to have her own little thoughts.

After all, he appeared in the women's restroom, and he was invisible... He was obviously the kind of person who couldn't be seen in the light of day.

“Yes, my good friend.” Lu Mingfei turned the steering wheel, and the car turned around, returning to Tokyo after driving out of the city in the middle of the night.

"Then how can I contact you in the future?" Erii asked softly.

When she was in the intensive care unit, the question of who to contact was not a concern for her. Her only close friend, her brother, would visit her frequently, but she didn't think about contacting anyone else.

"How can I contact you? I'll give you a phone number. Oh, and don't tell your family about me."

Erii Uesugi had seen Lu Mingfei's face before, and the two had even lived together. Even if he didn't give her a contact number, she could still find his information through the Snake-Headed Eight Family.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei was also wondering, unable to figure out Erii's opinion of him.

However, it's not a good thing if the Snake Clan finds out about you.

Although the people from the Aoyama Love School didn't show their faces when they took action against Sakurai Akira, they could only see Sakurai Akira's face once they got on the smuggling ship at sea.

The Snake Clan shouldn't be able to find their way here. If they do... we'll run back to our country and see how things go. It would be best if Erii could successfully take power and welcome Lu Mingfei and the others to Japan.

Since Erii couldn't speak, Lu Mingfei and his group could only secretly collude with the Oni Clan to overthrow the rule of the Snake Clan after consolidating their base, staging a triumphant return.

……

Uesugi Koshi chickened out again. Looking at Genjiro's face from afar, and thinking of the deceased Genjiro, he felt a lack of confidence and didn't even have the courage to stand in front of Genjiro.

Genji glanced casually in his direction, and he felt a surge of excitement, hoping that Genji would discover something... and come over on his own.

However, Genjiro did see Uesugi Kotsugi, who looked like an old ramen chef, but he didn't think much of it. He glanced at him, but didn't see a familiar face, figure, or mannerisms, so he looked away.

The beat-up Toyota stopped by the curb, and Lu Mingfei said, "Master Yue, you're here! I was planning to eat ramen at your place!"

Uesugi turned around and saw Lu Mingfei's familiar face. He forced a smile and said, "I won't be selling ramen anymore. If you want to eat ramen in the future, go to another stall or shop."

"Huh? What happened?" Lu Mingfei asked Uesugi Kotsugi.

"Something did happen, and I don't plan to buy ramen anymore. I'm sorry." Uesugi Koshi tried to mask his panic with a conversation with an acquaintance, because Genji was leading people this way...

“Okay, then let’s go somewhere else to eat ramen tonight,” Lu Mingfei said.

After leaving Disneyland, he and Erii headed north from Chiba Prefecture. To get back to their previous hotel, they had to pass by the University of Tokyo. Since it was so late, Lu Mingfei really wanted to go to an old acquaintance's place for a bowl of ramen as a late-night snack.

When they were still some distance away, they discovered that their old acquaintance wasn't running a ramen stall, but was standing on the roadside in Akihabara.

Uesugi glanced at the quiet girl in the back seat and casually changed the subject, saying, "Are you out having fun with your girlfriend?"

"We're really not boyfriend and girlfriend..." Master Yue, Lu Mingfei said, "Oh, no, we've finished playing and are just about to go back to sleep."

Uesugi thought for a moment about the direction they came from and said, "You went to Disneyland with your girlfriend? Disneyland should be closed by now, right? Did you go somewhere else to play?"

"After leaving Disneyland, we drove around for a while."

Lu Mingfei didn't find anything unusual about Uesugi Yue wanting to chat. In his memory, Uesugi Yue was a very talkative person who talked a lot and had a good back-and-forth conversation with Xia Mi.

As Yuan Zhisheng and his two subordinates drew closer, Lu Mingfei, sitting in the driver's seat, also noticed Yuan Zhisheng approaching.

Erii is sitting in the back seat of the car...

Uesugi caught a glimpse of that figure out of the corner of his eye, and his heart pounded with even more panic. He asked Lu Mingfei, "It's not bad to come and see Akihabara. Have you guys been here before? It's a holy land for anime and manga fans. You young people should really like it."

"I've been here once before and bought some figurines and posters," Lu Mingfei said. "Master Yue, let's go back to sleep now, we'll talk next time."

"Ah? Okay, okay, let's talk next time," Uesugi said reluctantly.

Lu Mingfei quickly stepped on the gas and drove off, leaving Uesugi Yue standing alone on the roadside.

Uesugi Kotsushi didn't look ahead, mainly because he was afraid to look; he wanted to be recognized, yet he was also afraid of being recognized...

He could only clear his mind of all distractions and think about Lu Mingfei, whom he had just been chatting with.

This kid seems to have some tricks up his sleeve. He's juggling two relationships and doing quite well, without showing any panic.

By the way, that pale-faced girl looks familiar...

Chapter 115 Uesugi Kotsugi is furious

Where did that pale-faced girl look familiar? Uesugi Koshi pondered for two seconds.

He admitted that even though he was still a lecherous old man after leaving his family, there was absolutely no possibility of him getting close to such a young girl; she was simply not his type.

Considering the girl's demeanor and manners while eating, she is most likely from a wealthy family. Could she be the child of some rich woman she had a casual fling with?

Her eyes, nose, forehead, cheeks... Uesugi Koshi pondered the girl's appearance for two seconds and realized that it didn't seem to match the features of those mistresses.

The first time he met that girl, he took her to his noodle stall to eat noodles.

Hey, when that girl ate at his noodle stall for the first time, she didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a notepad and wrote something down for the boy to see.

I didn't pay attention to it at the time...?

Sticky notes, glasses, demeanor...

If you spend a lot of time with someone, those around them will update themselves over time to notice subtle changes in them, making it difficult to detect.

However, if two people haven't seen each other for a long time, when they meet again, these small changes accumulate into big changes, and they will immediately notice the changes in each other.

Of course, if a person suddenly undergoes a significant change, even those who were previously familiar with them may become uncertain. However, while they may be unsure, they are certain that they feel familiar with the person.

Uesugi Kotsushi seemed to understand what was familiar about the girl, and he suspiciously took out a few small photos from his pocket.

There are some by Minamoto no Ichisei, and some by Erii.

Among Erii's photos, there is one that was taken during this year's Spring Festival.

Erii's beautiful figure was concealed by her loose shrine maiden outfit, but to a pervert like Uesugi Kotsugi, the clothes were practically nonexistent. In his eyes, the clothes could be removed, or he could add all sorts of clothes to his own filter.

Height, build, that indifferent gaze and aloof demeanor... Oh, and that sticky note on the wall looks familiar...

Lu Mingfei was driving a regular Toyota, not a race car or muscle car, and it took him a little over ten seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h.

However, there's no need to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h on the streets of Tokyo at this time, and the road conditions don't really allow for speeds above 100 km/h.

However, a speed of 50 or 60 kilometers per hour is still permissible. Lu Mingfei stepped on the gas, and after acceleration, the car reached a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

This speed may not seem very fast, but the current world record for the human 100-meter sprint is 9.77 seconds, averaging 10.2 meters per second, which translates to a speed of only 36 kilometers per hour.

Lu Mingfei was driving on the road at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and he accelerated for nearly ten seconds before being overtaken by a human. What does that mean?

We usually call this kind of person...

Lu Mingfei swerved the steering wheel at an extremely fast speed, dodging the knocking on the window while the car was traveling at 60 kilometers per hour.

This was a completely subconscious reaction, because out of the corner of his eye he only saw a black hand slapping towards his driver's side window.

For a moment his mind went blank, but his hands didn't slow down. He narrowly turned the steering wheel to avoid the black hand that was knocking on the window.

"parking!"

Uesugi Yue sped along the road, roaring angrily, and was somewhat exasperated.

The driver of the car behind Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. He glanced at his speed, a mere 43 kilometers per hour. But he had watched helplessly as the figure overtook him and then caught up with the car in front of him.

Based on the experience of a seasoned driver, the car in front was traveling at approximately 50-60 km/h.

How fast would a person need to go to catch up with a car traveling at 50-60 km/h? The driver was momentarily stunned, not only because he couldn't calculate it for the time being, but also because he was confused as to why a person would be compared to a car traveling at 50-60 km/h.

Even elementary school math demonstration problems wouldn't dare use such an example!

Then, he watched helplessly as another figure overtook him and caught up with the person and car in front of him.

Are there any experts?
