Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Chapter 27 The storm is coming

“Resurrecting the White King is not his goal; his real goal is to become the new White King,” Ye Jingchen’s eyes deepened. “He has been planning for this for decades.”

Uesugi Koshi straightened his back. "Ultimately, this is a matter for the Uesugi family, so I'm sorry to trouble you with this. Without further ado, I'll go and bring the second son back right now!"

Seeing that Uesugi had agreed to lend a hand, Ye Jingchen nodded. “Senior Uesugi, there’s no rush. Your intervention will surely alert the enemy. The Oni Clan might receive Herzog’s kill order. At that time, the entire Tokyo, and even the entire Japan, could very well become a living hell.”

Uesugi looked at Ye Jingchen, "So what do you mean?"

"Take back the power that belongs to the Emperor, and tear off the mask of Tachibana Masamune that Herzog is playing!" Ye Jingchen picked up his water glass and looked at Genjiro through the transparent plastic cup. "Genjiro's prestige and strength alone are not enough to make the Snake-Headed Eight Families completely submit, but with the former head of the family and the future head of the family appearing together, the heads of the five outer families of the Snake-Headed Eight Families have no choice but to agree."

"Besides, this is what you should do. When the old emperor passes on power to the new emperor, he usually has to smooth out the thorns on the new emperor's power!" Ye Jingchen stood up from the stool. "The role of the five families outside the Snake-Head Eight Families is to do a good job in logistics and preparation. The Inuyama family has already made great contributions in resisting the invasion of the Oni Clan at the Genji Heavy Industries this time."

Let the other four families bear the brunt of the sacrifices and bloodshed.

Yuan Zhisheng disagreed with Ye Jingchen's remarks, saying, "The Eight Families of Sheqi are of one blood, why should they scheme against each other and be so petty!"

“He’s right, this is the essential art of checks and balances that you, as the future patriarch, must master!” Uesugi Etsu looked at Genjiro’s face.

Genji immediately lowered his head. He felt that Uesugi Kotsugu was like a mountain at this moment, which was patriarchal authority.

At that moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky!

Ye Jingchen pulled Erii to her feet. "Genjiro, contact someone to arrange a car to pick us up. At the same time, issue a summons for the Snake Clan in your name."

"Okay, I understand." Genji stood up weakly and walked to the landline in the ramen shop. He knew the purpose of this call was to drive away Tachibana Munemasa. He dialed Yabuki Sakura's number, "Moshi moshi."

Sakura Yabuki: "Young Master, I'm so glad you're alright. Where are you now?"

Genjiro: "At a ramen shop in Kanagawa Town, have Crow drive a bigger car over to pick up four people and take them back."

Sakura Yabuki: "Hi!"

Genjiro: "How's it going at Genji Heavy Industries?"

Sakura Yabuki: "Genji Heavy Industries survived, but the Inuyama family suffered heavy casualties..."

Yuan Zhisheng: "Yes, I understand... In my name, issue a rallying order to the heads of all families."

Yuan Zhisheng hung up the phone.

Crow quickly drove his van to the ramen shop.

He got out of the car and waved to Genjiro, who was standing in the store. "Hey! Boss, I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried about you!"

"Ye Sang, get in the car." Yuan Zhisheng was the first to walk out of the ramen shop and get into the passenger seat.

Ye Jingchen pulled Erii along and looked at Uesugi Kotetsu, "Uesugi-senpai, let's go."

After everyone got on the bus.

Genji Waki ​​spoke up, "Let's go, Genji Heavy Industries."

"Hey!" Crow started the engine and noticed Uesugi Kotsugu through the rearview mirror. "Boss, who's this guy?"

Yuan Zhisheng did not reply.

Erii is unable to speak.

This problem can't be dropped on the ground!

Ye Jingchen straightened up. "This is the former head of the family, Uesugi Kotsushi-senpai."

"Oh~" The crow nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly realized who Uesugi Koshi was! It was as if struck by lightning, "Ah?!"

The crow didn't know how to continue the conversation and looked embarrassed.

Ye Jingchen tapped on the car window. "Focus on driving and talk less."

"Hey!" The crow, as if granted a pardon, immediately shut its beak and cast a grateful glance at Ye Jingchen.

There was no conversation in the car.

Uesugi Koshi and Genji Shiki silently closed their eyes to rest.

Ye Jingchen and Erii chatted happily, using a small notebook and pen.

The crow drove with complete focus; he had never driven with such concentration in his life, reaching a state of perfect harmony between himself and the car.

Soon, they arrived at Genji Heavy Industries.

Genji Heavy Industries Building.

At this point, there were clear signs that the building had been attacked.

A yaksha with spiky red hair was leading a dozen guards on patrol.

Upon seeing that it was Genjiro in the passenger seat, he immediately signaled to his men to let them pass.

After the crow parked the car steadily in front of Genji Heavy Industries, Ye Jingchen, Erii, Uesugi Kotetsu, and Genjiro walked out together.

The crow watched Uesugi Echigo's departing figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yaksha approached with great interest, "Hey! Crow, what did you do wrong? You look so pathetic!"

"No, nothing," Yaksha said, his eyes darting around. He kept turning the car key, wanting to drive to the underground parking garage to calm down. "I just picked up the young master."

Yaksha knew Crow too well; whenever this kid showed that expression, with his eyes darting around, something was definitely up.

Yaksha reached through the car window and grabbed Crow by the collar. "No, you're definitely hiding something from me! Tell me! Is it about that old man who's always with the boss?"

With a loud slap, the crow struck the Yaksha across the face.

"You dare hit me?!" Yaksha couldn't stand this humiliation. He grabbed Crow's collar and raised his hard fist.

"I'm saving your life!" the crow said in a low voice, cautiously observing its surroundings. "Get in the car, I'll tell you quietly in the underground parking garage."

Seeing the crow's serious expression, Yaksha suppressed his anger at being slapped and said, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

The crow led the yaksha to the underground parking garage and told him something...

"What! That old man... no, senior," Yasha sat in the passenger seat, his eyes wide with disbelief, "is the Uesugi family patriarch?!"

*Smack!* The crow slapped the Yaksha across the face again. "Keep your voice down, are you out of your mind?!"

This time, Yaksha wasn't angry. He covered his face and grinned obsequiously at Crow, "No, no, no! Thank you for reminding me, Brother Crow, so I could pull back from the brink!"

As he spoke, the Yaksha respectfully lit a cigarette for the crow.

The crow, puffing on its cigarette, flicked its hand and chuckled irritably, "Yaksha, the way you are now disgusts me. I still prefer your arrogant self from before."

Yaksha massaged Crow's shoulders. "Hey, Brother Crow, you're too kind. We're like brothers, aren't we? We've been sworn brothers for so many years!"

The crow took a deep drag on his cigarette, a premonition of a major event looming over him.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
