Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Page 131

Gao Kui glanced at the headless corpses: "I only lost one out of nine games, so I only cut off one-ninth of each of their bodies."

This is the agreement I wanted to make with you. Even if you didn't agree, I will still strictly adhere to it, fairly and justly.

"What else can I say?"

Emmanuel shrugged, "Mamba Otto, are you watching a love show?"

Time begins to flow.

The group of Sheqi Bajia security personnel and gangsters surrounding the passageway felt as if Gao Kui had just raised his gun a second ago, and the next moment they saw the shattered red and white mixture of bone fragments flowing silently in the private room, with several headless corpses lying on the road, and blood gushing out and staining the entire floor of the private room red, like a lake of fire flowing with scorching magma.

Immediately, some security guards and gangsters with weaker mental fortitude began to vomit uncontrollably, leaning against the wall. They were just gangsters, not psychopaths, but they still felt physically uncomfortable seeing such a cruel and inhumane scene.

Emmanuel sat in the center of the "lake of fire," still wearing that smile that was hard to tell whether it was genuine joy or helplessness. Archangel Michael had disappeared. Gao Kui was expressionless, his expensive 300 million yen suit spotless. He turned and walked into the corridor.

No one stopped him. Regardless of Gao Kui's status as someone who could chat and laugh with Yuan Zhisheng, his ability to instantly kill several biker gang members and the dual pistols in his hand were enough to intimidate everyone present.

Like guards standing on both sides of a red carpet to welcome the new king's ascension to the throne, everyone consciously made way for Gao Kui as he departed.

It wasn't until the Porsche sports car outside the nightclub roared again, kicking up dust and exhaust fumes as it sped away that everyone realized what had happened and urgently contacted the family's communications department to report the situation to their superiors immediately.

……

"The Numa-Kara called to say that the situation there is deteriorating rapidly. In the past 24 hours, they have fought with the Bando Alliance three or four times, resulting in heavy casualties: 15 people were lightly injured, 6 were seriously injured, and a young leader died. They are requesting that the main family send nearby gangs to provide support."

The liaison officer, wielding a thick layer of magical power, sat at his workstation, turned around, and loudly reported to the section chief and Ryoma Genichiro behind him.

"Only one head died?"

Without hesitation, the section chief sternly rejected the Swamp Crow Society's request for assistance: "The Dojima Group nearby has lost two wakato (yogashira), and the Kodara Group has even lost its leader. Everyone is having a hard time right now, so where would we get the extra manpower to support them? Let them keep holding on!"

"understand!"

Immediately afterwards, another liaison reported the contents of the next phone call: "The Ikeda Group at Yokohama Port has repelled the Omi Alliance forces and stabilized the situation. Chairman Ikeda hopes that we can immediately lift the special alert in Yokohama."

They said their six cargo ships bound for Argentina had been stuck in port for 24 hours, and if they didn't depart soon, they risked missing the contract deadline and incurring millions of dollars in penalties.

"Baka yarou, you want to lift the alarm after only one day? Are you crazy for money? Everyone is still living in dire straits."

"A mere few million US dollars—if there's a real delay, our family will compensate him. Tell him the alert will never be lifted, and also, have the Ikeda-kai immediately send a team to Tokyo's Setanida Ward to support the Numa-Kara-kai, the Kodo-gumi, and the Dojima-gumi there."

"Team Leader Ikeda asked, 'Support is welcome, but they hope the other party can reimburse their travel expenses, appearance fees, and compensation. Afterwards, they also want to treat the survivors to a bubble bath in Yoshiwara!'"

"All expenses will be covered by our family!" the section chief roared through gritted teeth.

The liaison office, with its constant incoming and outgoing calls occupying an entire floor, resembled the stock trading companies in "The Wolf of Wall Street" that used the phone to trick customers into buying junk bonds—bustling, chaotic, yet orderly.

Ryoma Genichiro, who temporarily took over the overall command of Genjiro, sat in the center of the liaison department, keeping a close eye on everything and listening to everyone. Whenever a section chief of a group was indecisive, Ryoma Genichiro would quickly make a decision for them. His presence did indeed improve the efficiency of the liaison department's operations to some extent.

Sakurai Nanami, Miyamoto Shio, Inuyama He, and other patriarchs were assigned to other floors of Genji Heavy Industries to appease the staff and demonstrate their determination to live and die with everyone.

"The manager of Yoruhara Nightclub in Shinjuku called, saying that Gao Kui, who had gone to the club with the young master a week ago and spent 1600 million US dollars, suddenly broke into the nightclub, killed several members of the Red Guard, and then left without a trace..."

Gao Kui?

Prince Gao Kui of Northern Qi?

Ryoma Genichiro's usually composed gaze finally showed a hint of panic as he strode over to the liaison officer who had given the report: "How could Prince Gao Kui of Northern Qi suddenly run off to Night Plains and kill the Red Guards? Shouldn't he be at Kassel School in Adachi Ward right now?"

"That's exactly what the manager of Night Plains wants to ask."

Yes, why did the prince of Northern Qi suddenly go mad and go on a killing spree in the Plain of Night?

Was this his own decision, or was it instructed by Angers? And, besides the prince of Northern Qi, were there other people from Kassel who ran away from the school?

Ryoma Genichiro's eyes flickered as he realized the seriousness of the problem. Takagi's sudden and reckless actions posed a potential threat to the Snake-Headed Eight Families, second only to the Demon Clan's plan to blow up the Shrine of the Gods and release the Yamata no Orochi.

"Immediately contact the people near Adachi Ward and ask them if any other people from Kassel besides the Northern Qi prince have run away from the school. Also, have the person in charge of monitoring the Kassel school cut off a finger and give it to me. The Northern Qi prince has already run to Night Plains and he hasn't reported it yet."

After giving instructions on matters in Adachi Ward, Ryoma Genichiro quickly gave several other instructions to the other groups: "With Yoruhara as the center, have everyone within a 100-kilometer radius pay attention to the movements of the Northern Qi Prince and be prepared to isolate him from the Oni Clan at any time."

Also, investigate what the Red Guards have been doing lately, and what grudges they have with the Northern Qi princes..."

Ryoma Genichiro gave several orders in succession, including but not limited to finding Gao Kui, investigating the cause of the incident, and mobilizing troops to be ready to bring Gao Kui back at any time...

This is the most critical time for the Snake-Headed Eight Families, but as long as everything develops in the best possible way, the Snake-Headed Eight Families can overcome this difficulty.

But once Kassel learns about the Ghost Clan's affairs, the outcome will be different. Even if the Snake Clan manages to overcome the difficulties, they will be opposed by all the mixed-race forces in the world, a situation worse than death.

"I found it!"

One of the liaisons sitting in front of the computer suddenly reported loudly: "The person in charge in Adachi Ward said that a Porsche drove out of Kassel not long ago. It seems to be the same Porsche that Yabuki Tousuke just sent over this afternoon."

I have already reported the vehicle theft to the 4S dealership where I bought the Porsche, and I obtained the location of the Porsche's in-car navigation system from them..."

Genichiro Ryoma immediately walked to the liaison officer who had reported the incident, leaned down, and stared intently at the real-time navigation map in the center of the screen. A bright red dot sped along the intricate elevated highway system of Shinjuku Ward, and the car was heading straight for the Genji Heavy Industries Building, where the headquarters of the Snake-Headed Eight Families was located.

The distance between them is now less than one kilometer.

Good news, the person has been found.

The bad news is that the other party is clearly targeting Genji Heavy Industries. Judging from their aggressive approach, they probably don't have good intentions.

The dazzling neon lights flashed past the car window as the silver-gray Porsche sped along the elevated highway leading directly to the Genji Heavy Industries building at a speed exceeding 240 kilometers per hour.

From nearly a kilometer away, Gao Kui could already see the Genji Heavy Industries building in front of him.

In Tokyo, where skyscrapers abound, the Genji Heavy Industries Building, built after World War II, is not particularly tall, but it is quite unique: just as the building was nearing completion, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government decided to build an elevated bridge.

It was clearly not worthwhile to demolish the entire building for an overpass, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government could not afford to spend that much money. Ultimately, after negotiating with the Hebi-hachi family, they rented the fifth and sixth floors of Genji Heavy Industries, allowing the overpass to pass through the center of the Genji Heavy Industries building.

It's somewhat like that building in Chongqing with a light rail line running through it, which makes the Genji Heavy Industries Building particularly eye-catching in the steel forest of Shinjuku.

The overpass beneath the Porsche sports car is the same overpass that runs through the Genji Heavy Industries building.

With the accelerator floored, the engine roared even louder and louder. Gao Kui gripped the steering wheel expressionlessly, staring intently at the abrupt building that stood in the middle of the road, resembling a black iron monument.

There was traffic on the overpass, and Gao Kui overtook other cars repeatedly before finally arriving in front of the Genji Heavy Industries building. However, when the Porsche was only three or four hundred meters away from the Genji Heavy Industries building, a vacuum appeared between them by chance, and there were no other vehicles in front of the Porsche.

Chapter 159 A river of blood

Looking at the Genji Heavy Industries building so close by, Gao Kui couldn't help but recall the days when he was a phantom thief at Shujin High School in Tokyo.

Back then, he was called Ren Amamiya. On the surface, he was a quiet and unremarkable high school student, but in reality, he was a heart-stealing phantom thief who could enter other people's consciousness palaces and steal their palace treasures, namely "desire." He and a group of friends upheld justice and, incidentally, fell in love with ten beautiful girls of different appearances. His life couldn't be happier.

The only drawback is that, despite having the powerful, omnipotent, and nation-founding Izanagi three times over, he still has to follow the rules of a phantom thief every time he explores the palace, sneaking in to scout routes, explore labyrinths, and outwit the shadows within.

Gao Kui prefers a simpler and more straightforward approach.

At this moment, Gao Kui was finally able to do some things that he had always wanted to do but could not when he was a phantom thief, due to the rules of the trade and the special nature of the palace.

Word of Power: Yin Flow!

As the field expands, the air flowing outside the Porsche sports car is separated into more than a dozen high-speed airflow channels, which then become temporary aerodynamic components for the Porsche sports car.

Both airplanes and sports cars require the study of aerodynamics. The difference is that airplanes need more lift to allow them to take off in a shorter distance, while sports cars need downforce to ensure that their tires maintain a firm grip on the ground when reaching speeds of over 200 kilometers per hour.

Under the guidance of more than a dozen airflow channels, the downforce that had been pressing the Porsche sports car firmly against the overpass surface was transformed into air. The silver-gray sports car unfolded its airflow wings, transforming into a silver-gray steel eagle, soaring into the sky and gliding towards the Genji Heavy Industries building.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

As the Porsche soared into the sky, it seemed as if the background music that played every time Yusei Fudo, the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS, performed a Synchro Summon echoed in Gao Kui's ears.

The ultimate state of mind, clear and still as water!

When the gathered stars merge into one, new bonds will illuminate the future, becoming a path of light, and accelerating synchronization beyond limits!

The tempered glass, capable of withstanding large-caliber pistol bullets, was shattered into countless scattered fragments by the airflow. The silver-gray sports car swept through the glass rain curtain, landed on the twelfth floor of the Genji Heavy Industries Building, and then drifted laterally, its tires rubbing together to create thick white smoke, sliding for more than twenty meters before coming to a stop.

The members of the Snake Clan and passersby who witnessed the Porsche crashing into the Genji Heavy Industries building were shocked.

They've seen plenty of things that dare to attack and storm the Genji Heavy Industries building; just yesterday, an Apache attack helicopter bombed the building.

But Gao Kui is the first person to drive a sports car "flying" into the building.

The car door opened, and the first thing to step out was a leather shoe. Gao Kui, dressed in a suit and tie, emerged from the car carrying a long sword in one hand and a semi-automatic pistol in the other. His face was frosty, and his golden eyes, like the eyes of judgment, swept over the onlookers from the Snake Clan.

"Where are Genjiro and Sakurai Hiroshi?" Gao Kui asked.

No one answered.

Like a spark blown into a haystack, pairs of golden eyes were ignited one after another. Apart from Gao Kui, twenty or thirty more pairs of golden eyes lit up on the twelfth floor, scattered like stars in every corner of the floor.

Based solely on their eye color, their bloodlines should all be at least Grade B, a level comparable to the average in Kassel.

If the lighting system were turned off right now, this floor would be even more magical than a midsummer night with swarms of fireflies.

Their eyes held fear, anger, struggle against the pressure of those with stronger bloodlines, and madness, but none of them retreated.

At the height of the Sheki Hachike's turmoil, Takagi barged into the Genji Heavy Industries building and, unsurprisingly, was immediately labeled an enemy. With the main clan locked in fierce combat with the Oni Clan, who would believe you were a pushover if you barged in looking for the young lord and the Sakurai family's higher-ups?

"No one's answering? Looks like I'll have to find it myself."

Gao Kui scratched his head, turned around as if no one was around, walked to a room next to the corridor, kicked open the door, and quickly scanned the room. Genji was not there, Sakurai Hiroshi was not there, and Aso Makoto was not there either.

Next room.

Gao Kui walked to the next room. His pace was not slow, but rather quite fast. Yet, he always gave people the feeling of strolling leisurely, as if he were walking on a tree-lined path filled with the scent of rain and earth after a spring rain.

Those mixed-blood snake-like individuals from the Eight Snake Clan, whose golden eyes blazed and who were fierce and terrifying, were like trees planted along the roadside, serving only as decorative elements.

They just blatantly ignored it.

At this moment, Gao Kui only wanted to find three people: Genjiro, the young master of the Hebi-Hachi family who was in charge of receiving him and could make decisions; Hiroshi Sakurai, who directly planned the kidnapping of Makoto Aso; and Makoto Aso, who was sent to the Hebi-Hachi family by the biker gang.

Nothing else.

"Oh!"

When Gao Kui kicked open the second door, someone opened fire.

Although their bloodlines were far inferior to Gao Kui's, the members of the Snake Clan were still qualified hybrids. At this moment, it was a matter of life and death for the Snake Clan, and no one could remain indifferent to Gao Kui's intrusion.

Gao Kui kept his eyes straight ahead, raised his hand, and fired his pistol in the direction the bullet was coming from.

The gunfire flickered, and the specially designed alloy bullet accurately struck the incoming .0.45 caliber pistol bullet, continuing its trajectory towards the shooter, penetrating the barrel and piercing the wrist of the mixed-race man as it continued to spread through the muzzle.

Even an A-rank hybrid cannot withstand bullets with sheer physical strength alone. They can intercept, predict, and dodge, but they cannot block them head-on.

Gao Kui did not press his advantage. He glanced at the room that had been kicked open, but did not find the person he was looking for. He then turned and walked to the next room.

There is an ancient Chinese poem or proverb that says, "When the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength." This means that when you seize an opportunity or have good luck, it's as if heaven and earth are helping you, and everything you do goes smoothly.

In "Kuroko's Basketball," there is a special technique called the Zone state. In fact, it is not a fictional thing, but a special state in sports psychology that has been affirmed by many top athletes such as Michael Jordan. Jordan even claimed that he had mastered the method of actively entering the Zone state.

Athletes who enter Zone state experience unprecedented concentration, accompanied by a strong sense of pleasure and control. Their consciousness and body become completely unified, and they feel that everything they do goes exceptionally smoothly, even distorting their perception of time.
