Chapter 184 Why are you wasting your time arguing with him? He's just taking advantage of the f
After Lu Mingfei left, the tense atmosphere inside the Genji Heavy Industries building did not escalate into a full-blown conflict as expected.
the reason is simple.
No one dared to actually lay a hand on Erii.
On the one hand, her status was simply too noble.
The head of the Uesugi family was just replaced by Uesugi Echizen today.
However, she remains the nominal eldest daughter of the Snake Clan, holding a superior status.
On the other hand, there's her strength.
The scene of that single strike cleaving through the heavy security door is now unfolding before everyone's eyes; that power is far beyond what ordinary hybrids can achieve.
Add to that the three women behind her, each with a distinct aura but exuding an equally formidable presence; no one could afford the consequences of forcibly barging in and blocking her way.
Thus, a peculiar parade unfolded inside Genji Heavy Industries.
Erii, carrying her small suitcase and dressed in a very fashionable outfit, took the lead and walked at the very front.
Her steps were slow, yet seemingly unstoppable.
Xia Mi, Ling, and Gu Nan followed a few steps behind her in a triangular formation, acting as both protectors and companions.
Behind them, a large group of members of the Snake-Headed Eight Families trailed far behind.
There were executives from the bureau dressed in black suits, and family executives who rushed over after hearing the news.
The crowd grew larger and larger like a snowball, but everyone tacitly maintained a safe distance, only daring to communicate with their eyes and whisper among themselves, and no one stepped forward to stop them.
They rode the elevator down without any obstruction and swaggered out of the main hall of Genji Heavy Industries.
As they were leaving, they encountered Uesugi Kotsugi, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
The old man was in excellent condition, with a ruddy complexion and vigorous spirit. He was leading a group of men who were clearly his old subordinates and had a fierce demeanor as they hurried over.
He panicked when he heard that Erii had been taken hostage.
However, when he saw the lineup coming out of the gate, his tense expression instantly relaxed, and he even showed a look of bewilderment.
This is hardly a hostage situation.
This is clearly a whim of Erii-sama, who wants to take her new friend out shopping!
Look at this formation! Erii leads the way, followed by three beautiful and charming women as protectors, and behind them is a large group of ceremonial guards who dare not speak out but only watch from afar...
This was his demeanor when he went out as the movie star.
Uesugi Kotsugu's gaze swept across the crowd, landing deeply on Erii, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including an indescribable tenderness and a hint of...
pride?
He has secretly undergone the most authoritative genetic testing, and the results are beyond doubt.
Erii is his biological daughter, by blood!
This fact acted like a shot in the arm, completely igniting his ambition that had been dormant for decades.
He was incredibly busy, reorganizing his old subordinates and forging alliances, and his energy was at an all-time high.
Having offspring and not having offspring truly make a world of difference in one's passion and sense of responsibility towards one's career.
He hadn't had time to deal with Yuan Zhisheng yet. Although he looked very similar to him when he was young, he was, after all, the young master, and the level of information security was not the same.
Although he believed that the boy was also his son, he couldn't be completely sure without genetic testing.
He didn't say anything, but simply nodded gently to Erii, stepped aside to make way for her, and whispered, "Be careful, have fun."
His tone was exactly that of an indulgent father who let his daughter go out to play.
He even took out his phone and exchanged numbers with Xia Mi and the others so they could stay in touch.
After all, he trusted his daughter's friends more than the old folks in the family who had their own agendas.
The real conflict occurred after they went outside.
Having received the news, the patriarch, Tachibana Masamune, had already gathered there with a group of trusted confidants and family elders.
He wore his usual gentle and approachable smile, trying to defuse the sudden crisis with words.
"Eri, where are you going so late?"
Tachibana Masamune's tone was full of concern, like that of a truly kind elder.
“It’s not safe outside. You can talk to your dad if anything happens.”
Erii simply held up her writing board, on which the words were already written:
[Go out and have fun.]
The handwriting was neat and the meaning was clear, leaving no room for negotiation.
Tachibana Masamune's smile remained unchanged as he prepared to continue persuading her with reasons such as "for your safety" and "family responsibility," even secretly signaling his subordinates to prepare for more covert obstruction measures...
"Hey!"
A clear but obviously impatient female voice interrupted him.
The real military commanders have made their move.
Gu Nan crossed his arms, glanced sideways at Tachibana Masamune, and frowned slightly.
"Who are you, you old bastard? You're going to keep babbling on and on, aren't you? She can go wherever she wants, it's none of your business! If you dare utter another word, believe me, I'll make sure you're lying right here on the floor!"
Gu Nan didn't know who Tachibana Masamune was at all, and didn't care to know.
During the Qin Dynasty, she was only slightly polite to the King of Qin and Bai Qi's family. As for others, whether they were nobles or generals, they would not give her any face if they offended her.
This almost lawless confidence stemmed from her absolute strength and the mindset ingrained in that era.
When Lao Tzu could split the imperial palace open with a single sword strike, who needed to give face to whom?
Tachibana Masamune was extremely composed. Even when he was reprimanded to his face, his smile only stiffened slightly, and a shadow of gloom flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he did not immediately lash out.
But a hot-tempered and senior family elder behind him couldn't hold back any longer!
In his view, these women of unknown origin not only abducted the young lady, but also dared to speak rudely to the patriarch; they were simply outrageous!
"presumptuous!"
The old elder roared, drew his sword, and darted forward, the blade aimed straight for Gu Nan's face!
Although he was old, his bloodline was not weak, and his strike was powerful and fierce.
then……
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
No one saw how Gu Nan moved; she only seemed to lift her foot casually.
The next second, the aggressive old elder was sent flying backward at an even faster speed than when he charged forward, as if struck by a battering ram, crashing heavily into a lamppost. His katana flew out of his hand and fell to the ground with a clatter.
The old elder groaned and slid to the ground, unable to get up for a moment, only able to groan in pain.
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
The pupils of all the members of the Snake Clan, including Tachibana Masamune, suddenly contracted!
One kick!
Just one kick!
They crippled a family elder with rich combat experience and a strong lineage!
What kind of monster is this woman?!
Uesugi watched coldly from the sidelines, secretly pleased with himself.
He was hoping that Tachibana Masamune's people would lose face as much as possible.
Gu Nan stood there as if nothing had happened, dusted off non-existent dust, and glanced at the silent crowd before finally settling on Tachibana Masamune, whose face was finally showing signs of embarrassment. His tone remained calm, yet carried an undeniable threat.
"Anyone else want to try? Come on, all of you, to save us the trouble."
Tachibana Masamune took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging anger and horror.
He knew that he absolutely couldn't stop them by force today.
These three women possess unfathomable strength, especially the one who made the move—she's practically superhuman!
Forcing a conflict will only make you lose face in public and may even cause injury or death.
to be frank.
In this situation, only if Genjiro came out to persuade them might it have any effect; otherwise, even if the Japanese Emperor came, it would be useless.
Unfortunately, Genjiro went to Osaka with Chu Zihang and Fingel early this morning, and now even if he flies back, he can't.
"Since Erii wants to go out and clear her head... that's fine too."
Tachibana Masamune barely maintained his composure and conceded a step, but set a condition: "However, safety comes first. I will send an elite team..."
"No need."
Gu Nan interrupted him directly, her tone resolute, "With us here, who can hurt her? Unless..."
She paused, seemingly pondering what metaphor she could use to make the group understand, and finally uttered a statement that was sure to be shocking.
"Unless the Black King is resurrected and comes to cause trouble in person."
These words are extremely arrogant, yet they also carry an irrefutable logic.
If you can't even protect them, what's the point of sending out more rabble?
After Gu Nan's physical education and logical overwhelm, the members of the Snake Clan were completely speechless.
With a gloomy face, Tachibana Masamune could only acquiesce to their taking Erii away, but demanded that someone be sent at a distance to "follow and protect" her.
Gu Nan didn't care about that, as long as they didn't get too close and get in her way.
She waved her hand as if shooing away flies.
"Follow us if you want, but stay away and don't disturb our shopping."
To be honest, in this situation, only if Genjiro came out to persuade them might it have any effect; otherwise, even if the Japanese Emperor came, it would be useless.
Unfortunately, Genjiro went to Osaka with Chu Zihang and Fingel early this morning, and now even if he flies back, he can't.
As the old saying goes, "Don't punish the lazy, don't punish the diligent, just punish the blind."
Erii excitedly led her three older sisters to the first destination on her postcard.
I encountered such a clueless guy at a famous anime-themed restaurant in Akihabara.
Having been notified in advance and attempting to clear the area and create a safe environment before the young lady arrived, the Sheqi Hachike's outsiders rudely drove away ordinary customers inside the store, causing quite a commotion.
This scene was witnessed by Erii and her three companions who had just arrived at the door.
Erii's face showed confusion, and a hint of bewilderment flashed in her crimson eyes.
She came out to experience this lively atmosphere; what's the point if the place is cleared out?
Just as he was about to write on his writing board, the military officer over there made his move again.
Gu Nan didn't even bother with any nonsense, and in a flash, she rushed into the middle of the group of men in black suits who were making a lot of noise.
Crackling!
Boom!
Ouch!
After a series of grating sounds of flesh colliding and screams, the seven or eight burly men responsible for clearing the area were all lying on the sidewalk outside the store, piled up into a small mound, groaning and unable to get up.
Gu Nan clapped his hands and gave what he thought was a friendly smile to the terrified restaurant owner and staff:
"It's alright, we'll continue operating as usual. Please reserve the best spot for us."
Then, she turned around and raised her chin at the Snake-Headed Eight Family watchers who were ordered to "follow from afar" and were now dumbfounded.
The meaning in his eyes was clear: If you dare to pull this kind of trick again, you'll be the ones lying on the ground next time.
From then on, Erii's "runaway trip" truly entered the "peaceful shopping" mode.
The tails of the Snake Clan only dared to hide a few blocks away, observing from afar through cameras and drones, and no longer dared to approach and interfere.
Meanwhile, Erii, accompanied by three super nannies, embarks on her first truly carefree urban adventure.
Tokyo's bustling and bizarre nights are slowly unfolding their captivating and noisy side to this once imprisoned girl.
