It can only be said that Cao Han really misunderstood someone this time.
"Tell me about your plan."
"The first step of my plan is for Principal Angers to leave Japan first."
puff-
Seeing Angers's caught-off-the-catch and bewildered expression, Fingel couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Angers' original intention was to provide Cao Han with strategic advice and fill in any gaps in the plan, but he never expected that he would become the first step in the plan.
"Principal, don't overthink it. It's just that your name is too famous in the mixed-race world. I'm worried that with you here, that old fox will be wary and won't take the bait," Cao Han explained softly.
In fact, Cao Han said that on purpose.
The goal was simple: to dismantle Angers and separate Japan.
After a slight sigh, Angers nodded in agreement: "Then I'll say goodbye to Uesugi Koshi and leave Japan."
You should know Uesugi Koshi's background; if you need help, just ask him.
"Okay, thank you, Principal."
Cao Han wasn't ungrateful; he understood that the principal was worried about him, so his thanks were genuine.
Cao Han was too embarrassed to say that if it was a problem he couldn't solve, then asking Uesugi Yue wouldn't be of any use.
"When you return victorious this time, there will be some things to face, and I will be standing behind you then."
Angers was also a "doer". Since he had promised Cao Han that he would leave, he did not linger any longer. After leaving behind this sentence, he got up and left without any hesitation.
"I know what you want to ask, but let's talk about it after we get some sleep!"
Since arriving in Japan, Cao Han has been almost constantly busy. He doesn't feel physically tired, but he does feel mentally exhausted.
Since Cao Han, as the "backbone," had said so, Fingel and Lucy Pallas naturally agreed.
……
Cao Han wasn't sure how long he had slept; he was woken up by a series of annoying knocks on the door.
Cao Han, still a little grumpy from waking up, opened the door and found that the person knocking was the hotel manager.
"Honorable guest, there is a man in the lobby downstairs who is more handsome than a woman and wants to see you."
Upon hearing the shop manager's description, Cao Han's lips curled up slightly, and he muttered to himself, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Kazama Ruri."
Chapter 98 All the Talented People in the World Are in My Hands
In a small conference room.
Cao Han and Kazama Ruri sat facing each other, carefully observing one another.
Cao Han, who was completely confident of victory, was in no hurry to speak. On the surface, he seemed calm, but in his heart, he had probably said "Holy crap" countless times because of Kazama Ruri's stunning appearance.
Cross-dressing master!
How can you tell if it's male or female?!
A man shouldn't... at least not... be this incredibly handsome, right?
They're both descendants of Uesugi Kotsugi, that ramen chef with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so how come there's such a big difference between Genjiro and Genjiro?
If this happened in China, it would probably be a question that even twelve episodes of "Approaching Science" couldn't answer!
Finally, it was Kazama Ruri who couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "How much do you know about the Demon King?"
"I can only say that I know much more than you can imagine!"
Kazama Ruri: "???"
Kazama Ruri had a feeling that the situation was somewhat unexpected, as he had only learned part of the information from the king's telegram.
For example, Cao Han caused the gods to awaken prematurely and then killed them;
For example, Cao Han's act of killing Tachibana Masamune was, in Kazama Ruri's wishful thinking as a "brother-obsessed" person, purely for the purpose of making Genji Chisei the patriarch.
Therefore, it was natural for Kazama Ruri to think that Cao Han would be interested in eliminating the leader of the Oni Clan, who was also a major threat to the Snake Clan.
Cao Han could glean some information from the other party's caught-off-guard expression.
First of all, the news of the death of Tachibana Masamune, the former patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, could not be kept secret. After all, Herzog had cultivated a great deal of prestige within the Snake-Headed Eight Families for so many years.
Then the fact that Tachibana Masamune and the King were the same person was probably kept secret.
Moreover, it seems that the Snake Clan is still united and there are no traitors among them. Kazama Ruri is obviously unaware of this inside story.
“I came to Tokyo this time because the King ordered me to monitor your every move. By now, all the forces of the Demon Clan should have been mobilized to search for the divine remains you have hidden.” Kazama Ruri threw out her trump card again.
Searching for the remains of gods?
Hearing this, Cao Han felt a little unethical and wanted to laugh; it really wasn't a simple matter.
The abilities of the "Consort Ming's" personal wet nurse team are evident from their performance in the original novel.
Unless they encounter a superhuman like themselves, they can become superhuman when they encounter a mixed-race person.
Mai Shutoku's Futsu-no-Mitama and Ame-no-Habakiri are no joke. Their sharpness alone can cut through the White King's body. Activating the alchemical array within them and unleashing their full power can even rival the Dragon King.
Although Xia Mi in human form cannot perform at her full potential, achieving this is still quite remarkable. If the target were one of the mixed-blood demons, it would be a piece of cake.
With the only threat, Kazama Ruri, still in front of Cao Han, what was there to worry about?
"In fact, Tachibana Masamune and the King are the same person, just puppets controlled by someone."
"What!?" Kazama Ruri's expression changed drastically.
"Don't be surprised yet. The real mastermind is a guy named Herzog." Cao Han didn't give Kazama Ruri time to process what he was saying and continued talking to himself, "If you want to get rid of this guy, you have to find out his true identity. Otherwise, killing more of these puppets won't help."
It can only be said that Cao Han's early arrival changed a lot of things.
If Kazama Ruri were given another two or three years, he would probably be able to gradually discover the fact that the "King General" was nothing more than a puppet.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Kazama Ruri sensed that Cao Han was strategizing from his demeanor, and guessed that he must have already made a plan.
"To destroy a person, you must first drive them mad!" Cao Han said calmly. "Herzog has been plotting in Japan for many years to obtain the power of the gods, and the one who merges with that power is undoubtedly the original!"
Of course, this was the reason Cao Han used to fool Kazama Ruri into writing the story.
He could pinpoint Herzog's exact location at any time through "Tongzige's" hunting, but this was only to ensure that the White King's remains were successfully "delivered" to the other party.
"A decoy? To lure the real body out?" Kazama Ruri quickly mentally filled in a series of steps.
To everyone's surprise, Cao Han shook his head: "Don't overthink it. The key to the plan actually lies with you."
"I?"
“Yes, you can go straight back to your Oni Clan’s headquarters in Osaka, Gokurakukan, and I will have someone deliver the remains of the god to you.”
"You want to use me to get the remains of a god into the hands of your target?"
“Bingo! If I delivered it myself, the traces would be too obvious, and the other party might not be so suspicious as to fall for it easily. But you, the number two of the Ghost Clan, ‘Dragon King,’ are different.”
Cao Han clapped his hands, admiring Kazama Ruri's quick thinking. In comparison, his older brother, Genjiro, was more rigid and more persistent in his pursuit of so-called justice.
"But how can you guarantee that the item will be lost..."
Halfway through her sentence, Kazama Ruri couldn't help but laugh at her own foolishness.
Imagine who could resist giving away something they've always wanted to someone else?
"Oh, right! Since we're about to become partners, I'll give you some good news as a bonus."
"What good news?"
"You, your brother Genjiro, and your sister Uesugi Erii were all conceived through in vitro fertilization. It was Herzog, the schemer, who raised you."
He performed brain surgery on you when you were still babies, and then manipulated your minds. In reality, Herzog used a clapper sound to manipulate you into killing people indiscriminately, making you mistakenly believe that you had fallen into the trap of becoming a 'ghost'.
Actually, you're not a ghost at all; on the contrary, you're exceptionally talented in dragon blood, even more so than your brother!
"Are you telling the truth? I... I'm not a ghost? Does that mean I can still be with my brother?" At that moment, Kazama Ruri burst into tears of joy, tears streaming down her long, narrow eyes.
At the same time, Herzog's hatred for the king who manipulated his life and plunged him into a battle with his brother, Genjiro, reached its peak!
It was a hatred so intense it felt like wanting to tear Herzog to pieces!
“There’s no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight between brothers. After we kill Herzog, I’ll create an opportunity for you two to make peace.” Cao Han patted his chest, looking like he had his back on.
"really?"
“Be bold, remove the word ‘吗’! But…” Cao Han paused deliberately, leaving the audience in suspense.
"But what?" Kazama Ruri blurted out urgently.
For someone who is obsessed with their brother, nothing is more important than their older brother.
“In my hometown, there’s a saying called ‘mutual help,’ which means that if I help you once, shouldn’t you help me once in return?”
Kazama Ruri clearly doesn't understand the profoundness of the Chinese language. The reason she can communicate in Chinese is simply because Chinese has become a "required course" for them ever since Angers combined Japanese-Japanese mixed-race individuals into the Japanese branch.
In addition, major languages such as English, German, and Russian are also compulsory courses.
"Okay, how can I help you?"
"Before that, young man, would you like to join our Monster Hunter Association and happily link the flame together?" Cao Han's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, like a little devil tempting people to fall.
There's no time like the present; Kazama Ruri has practically delivered herself right to his doorstep. How could Cao Han possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?
"Passing on the...passing on the fire?"
"Just a friendly reminder, your brother, Genjiro, is also a member of our association!"
"Send it! It must be sent! What do you need me to do?"
Upon witnessing Kazama Ruri's reaction, Cao Han couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Wow!"
Before the brothers turned against each other, Genjiro was indeed Kazama Ruri's "Achilles' heel"—he could hit her every time!
"Wait a mininute."
Cao Han didn't carry any mosquito coils with him, but that didn't matter. He could easily solve this little problem by calling the store manager.
It must be said that her ability to become the manager of a five-star hotel is not only due to her outstanding beauty, but also to her exceptional competence.
A short while later, he handed Cao Han a brand new pack of cigarettes.
