Chapter 40 Full of Suspicious Points
"It seems like all good news," Huo Yuhao took a sip of soup and gestured for them to find a place to sit. "So, we've resumed our cooperation with the Snake Clan?"
The folder Caesar brought out from the thirtieth floor clearly revealed the origins of the Japanese hybrid race. In addition, he learned some of the reasons for the struggle between the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan from Principal Angers. It is not difficult to understand why Kassel resumed cooperation with the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
For Angers, as long as your goal is to slay the dragon, then we are all on their side.
But if you stop me from slaying the dragon, or even want to become a new dragon, then I'll kill you without hesitation!
"The Eight Serpent Clan is preparing to ambush the White King," Chu Zihang said. "Our operation on the seabed back then already released the White King's remains."
"However, we still don't know where the White King's remains have gone. The Snake Clan is still investigating," Caesar said, his mood brightening. "It's just a pity that they failed to properly train Princess Kaguya, which led to her being destroyed by us and entering a period of silence."
"So," Caesar laughed, "Norma has successfully entered Japan. Perhaps we should now call her War Personality—EVA."
Huo Yuhao understood. If Kaguya hadn't remained silent and EVA hadn't entered the fray, restoring cooperation with the Snake Clan wouldn't have been so simple.
"There's one more thing," Caesar said, his expression beaming with joy. It was clear that this news made him incredibly happy, to the point that his expression was almost as cheerful as that of his loser senior, Fingel. "Genji has found his father."
Huo Yuhao was stunned.
Has Genji found his father?
Huo Yuhao's confusion wasn't about Yuan Zhisheng having a father, since Yuan Zhisheng wasn't born from a rock and must have biological parents.
What he found strange was that bringing this up now suggested that there was something wrong with Genjiro's background.
"Genjiro's father is named Uesugi Kotsu, the former Shadow Emperor of the Snake Clan," Chu Zihang added.
Uesugi Koshi?
The King of Shadows?
Huo Yuhao was curious about the term "Movie Emperor": "It sounds like the Movie Emperor's status is higher than that of the patriarch?"
After all, they've practically branded the name "White King" right on their foreheads.
"In reality, the Shadow Emperor is the patriarch, the actual leader of the Snake Clan, but only those with 'Emperor' bloodlines are qualified to be called the Shadow Emperor. And the title of Emperor isn't even held by every generation of the Snake Clan," Caesar explained seriously.
"Tachibana Masamune can only be considered the acting leader of the Snake Clan during a special era; his role is more like that of a powerful steward. After all, his bloodline is only from a collateral branch of the upper three families, his bloodline purity is insufficient, and his strength is simply pathetic."
Next, Caesar and Chu Zihang explained in detail what they knew about Tachibana Masamune and Uesugi Kochi.
Huo Yuhao learned another name—Herzog.
I also learned about a place name – Black Swan Harbor.
Huo Yuhao silently finished his meal, placed the lunchbox on the bedside table, and leaned against the pillows to ponder.
These two terms gave Huo Yuhao a deep sense of familiarity, as if Lu Mingfei had come into contact with them before, but Huo Yuhao did not find any related content when he reviewed Lu Mingfei's memories again.
"1991..." Huo Yuhao murmured softly.
Lu Mingfei was born in 1991.
Huo Yuhao had a premonition that Lu Mingfei was definitely related to Black Swan Harbor!
But he has no clue right now and doesn't intend to waste his brain cells exploring it.
He has just woken up, which means that his previously depleted mental energy has been replenished, but it does not mean that he is in good condition now.
"Eri, can I borrow your notebook and pen?" Huo Yuhao suddenly said to Erii, who was quietly playing with her PSP.
Erii didn't hesitate and immediately took out paper and pen and handed them to Huo Yuhao.
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao glanced at Erii's profile as she played the game intently, his gaze moving from her face to her dark red hair, and finally to the pale dragon scales on Erii's neck.
Erii's condition is becoming increasingly dangerous; she is on the verge of losing control of her bloodline.
Huo Yuhao decided to go through the known information from the beginning.
"Genjiro and his twin brother Genjiro were the product of in vitro fertilization, as were Tachibana Masamune, who used the name Bandarev."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's serious expression, Caesar couldn't help but give Chu Zihang a wink: Has this kid really been transformed?
Chu Zihang nodded.
Lu Mingfei had said he would explain the reasons for the change; it was just not the right time yet, and he didn't mind waiting until Lu Mingfei was ready.
"But these are all things said by Tachibana Masamune. The truth is unknown." Huo Yuhao added a question mark after writing "Tachibana Masamune-Bondarev".
"Regarding the bloodline origins of Genjiro and Genjiro, the Shadow Emperor of the Snake Clan has been passed down through generations, and no one from the lower five clans has ever had a genetic mutation that resulted in a Shadow Emperor. This is quite credible."
"And that former movie star, Uesugi Koshi..." His actions can be described as defection.
The reason for his defection was that during World War II, his biological mother was killed by a member of the Hebiki family, which directly led him to hate the entire Hebiki family. After burning down the family shrine, he ran away.
Caesar and Chu Zihang received further information from Angers.
Uesugi Koshi's mother was named Charlotte Chan.
"Charlotte Chen." Huo Yuhao wrote down the name, then looked at Erii's hair.
"Chen." Huo Yuhao repeated the surname.
Caesar and Chu Zihang keenly sensed that something was amiss.
"What's wrong with this surname?" Caesar asked.
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at him: "What's Nuonuo's last name?"
"Nono's surname is of course..." Caesar's voice trailed off, "Chen."
At this moment, Caesar finally noticed Erii's hair color.
His gaze moved from Erii's hair to her face.
Nono, whose real name is Chen Motong, is a beautiful witch with long dark red hair.
Chu Zihang also began to carefully observe Erii's appearance, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
Because Erii's temperament is completely different from Nono's, and although women with dark red hair are rare, hair dyeing technology is so good now that red hair is not uncommon, Caesar and Chu Zihang had never compared the two girls before.
The problem is that both Nono and Erii have naturally red hair.
Moreover, the more they looked at them, the more they felt that Nono and Erii did indeed have similar appearances.
"So," Caesar's voice was a little hoarse, "Nono and Erii are related by blood?"
Huo Yuhao nodded readily: "Coincidences may exist in the world, but if there are too many coincidences, there must be something wrong with them."
"Nono and Erii might just be distant relatives," Huo Yuhao said. "Moreover, Erii's surname is Uesugi, and she directly inherited the Uesugi surname, which can be considered an explicit indication."
Chu Zihang pondered, "So, the children who left Black Swan Harbor weren't two, but three?"
Uesugi Koshi not only has two sons, he also has a daughter!
"Why did Tachibana Masamune hide Erii's true identity? He said Erii was his biological daughter!" Chu Zihang raised a new question.
