Before Uesugi could break the silence and awkwardness at the table, there was a sound of someone approaching from outside.
This time there were no mistakes. As soon as the door opened, the person greeted them familiarly: "Yoshi~ So everyone's already here."
Before even entering the room, Cao Han could already sense the awkward and oppressive atmosphere. Ignoring it completely, he sat down cross-legged in the last empty seat.
That's the downside of Japanese tatami mats; there's no chair, so it's really uncomfortable to sit on.
According to the order of the notifications, Kazama Ruri was the last one, but Cao Han didn't expect her to arrive before him.
"Ahem~ Time is tight and the task is heavy, so I won't waste any more time." Cao Han chose to get straight to the point.
In order to clear up the misunderstanding between the two brothers, Genjiro and Genjiro, he chose to repeat what he had explained to Kazama Ruri before.
This includes the principles behind pontine surgery and the clapper sounds Herzog used to control the two brothers, etc...
"Brain pontine surgery to artificially control a person with schizophrenia?" The old-fashioned Uesugi Kotsugi was completely dumbfounded. He never expected there to be such a heinous surgical method. "Is there any way to fix this problem?"
"Hmm..." This question really stumped Cao Han. After all, it was a professional question in the medical field, so it was best not to say anything casually. "In principle, it means that the pons of both people's brains were cut, so the reverse can be achieved by surgery."
However, these are just my personal opinions. To determine whether this can be achieved, you will need to consult a neurosurgeon specializing in the field.
However, I personally don't think these are major problems. After all, with Herzog's death, only four... no, five people left in the room know the truth!
He was about to say four people when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Uesugi Erii, who was cautiously peeking out from behind Genji.
The moment Cao Han saw Uesugi Erii, the first thought that popped into his mind was... No wonder she is the true "Mingfei" who could bewitch the chosen one Lu Mingfei.
Erii Uesugi has long, soft, smooth, dark red hair, a round forehead, long eyelashes, and large, watery, deep rose-red eyes.
She wore a red and white shrine maiden outfit, with a white long robe, scarlet hakama, and red silk cords woven into the cuffs and hem. Her long hair was tied up with a matching red ribbon.
"This is your younger sister, Erii?"
“Yes.” Genjiro turned to the side and took Erii’s small hand, saying gently, “Eri, this is Brother Cao Han.”
Erii Uesugi didn't speak, but instead habitually took out a small notebook and pen from her bosom, quickly wrote on it, and then held it up to her chest.
The words written on it were "Brother Cao Han", but in Japanese.
Tachibana Masamune never allowed the simple-minded Erii to learn Chinese, let alone speak it.
Cao Han naturally couldn't understand Japanese, but he could roughly guess what it was. Seeing this obedient and well-behaved appearance, he subconsciously couldn't help but reach out and rub the other person's head.
Unfortunately, her wish was not fulfilled. After all, it was the first time that Uesugi Erii had met Cao Han, and she instinctively hid behind her brother Genji again.
"Yuan-kun, what's wrong with your sister...?"
"Eri's Word of Power is Judgment number 111, and it cannot be spoken lightly," Genji immediately explained, understanding the implication.
"If I'm not mistaken, what she wrote just now probably meant 'Brother Cao Han,' right?"
"Yes."
"In my hometown, elders always give a gift when they meet a younger person for the first time, just like I give a 'gift' to every member who joins our association."
"I will absolutely not let Erii have recognized this older brother for nothing."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Han had already taken out a delicate little box from his pocket, placed it on the table, opened it, and explained to everyone how it worked: "This is a bloodline locking agent."
After Erii received the injection, her bloodline should stabilize. I think as long as she doesn't frequently use the power of words, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Are you serious?!" Uesugi Koshi's face was filled with excitement and disbelief.
The problem he couldn't solve despite trying various methods turned into a huge surprise for this kid who had only been here a short time.
“I have no reason to lie.” Cao Han didn’t mind Uesugi Yue’s doubts at all, because it was only natural. “I was able to obtain this information with great difficulty thanks to the information provided by Kazama-kun.”
Kazama joined the Oni Clan against his will, but he was under the control of Herzog's old man, Piden. However, he never forgot his worries about his brother and sister.
Now that the misunderstanding between you two has been cleared up, Yuan-kun, you probably don't still hold a grudge about losing to your younger brother, right?
Cao Han said this on purpose, emphasizing the "importance" of Kazama Ruri's presence, and then, taking advantage of the momentum, suggested that the two brothers reconcile.
"I'm sorry! My dear girl, I misunderstood you~"
"No, it's me who should have let my brother down."
Seeing the two brothers reconcile and mend their broken relationship, Cao Han smiled broadly, thus completing half of his wrap-up work.
As for the remaining half, his gaze shifted from the two brothers to Uesugi Kotsugi, who also had a look of comforted consolation on his face.
The two brothers have been fleeced almost completely; now it's just a matter of time before they start taking advantage of the situation. Only old Deng...
It's time to start collecting some gold coins!
Chapter 117 Willpower is the Only Weapon to Slay Dragons
There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!
Upon being targeted, Uesugi Yue immediately felt a sense of unease, his skin crawling with goosebumps. He casually glanced at Cao Han out of the corner of his eye.
Little did he know that the other person's eyes had been fixed on him the whole time. How could such a small action escape the notice of a mixed-race person with amazing insight?
"Uesugi-senpai~"
"Uh... I don't deserve to be called a senior, I don't deserve it." As soon as Uesugi Yue heard Cao Han happy, he had a bad feeling. "Tell me what it is first."
He was all too familiar with this kind of opening shot; he had suffered quite a few times from it back when he was still active and hanging out with Angers.
Whenever Angers needed something from him, he would always use a similar tone and polite address, but it was all just a "sugar-coated bullet".
I've been tricked again and again, and each time it's a different story;
I've learned a new lesson from each loss I've suffered.
Influenced by the code of brotherhood in the underworld during his youth, Uesugi Kotsushi was the kind of guy who would go to great lengths for his brothers. Even before he knew what the other party's specific demands were, he would thump his chest and make promises.
"No rush, my matter is not urgent at all. Erii's health is more important."
"That's right, Erii's safety is the most important thing!"
What's wrong with my body?
Before anyone else could speak, Uesugi Erii, upon hearing this, took the initiative to write down the question in her notebook and presented it to Genji.
Genji gently ruffled Uesugi Eiri's soft hair and explained, "Eiri, don't worry, the medicine that Brother Cao Han brought will definitely cure your illness."
"After that, Erii will be able to speak normally, go wherever she wants, and play with her other friends..."
Before it's even confirmed whether the bloodline locking agent is 100% effective, Genjiro has already started making grand promises.
Her expectant eyes twinkled like stars.
Such an important matter obviously couldn't be carried out in the Uesugi family's shabby environment. The thought of Erii living a normal life made Genji feel like his backside was on fire; he couldn't stay a moment longer.
"I'll take Erii to the Ganryu Research Institute for injections first. The equipment there is more advanced, and it will be easier for us to monitor various data at any time."
"I am coming too!"
Genjiro is indeed a "brother complex" person, but his love for his younger sister, Uesugi Erii, is also 100%.
When her older brother, Genjiro, went to Kassel College for exchange studies, it was mostly Genjiro who stayed by Uesugi Erii's side, providing care and support.
"Then you two brothers can go, I'll stay here," Uesugi Yue said somewhat reluctantly.
As a newly minted "doting father," he would naturally like to go along if possible, but judging from Cao Han's behavior just now, the other party must have something he wants him to do.
Should we make Erii Uesugi walk alongside us?
That is absolutely impossible!
Genjiro hoisted the fourteen-year-old Erii onto his shoulder and strode towards the car parked outside the courtyard.
Sakura Yabuki, who was waiting right next to the car, was quite perceptive and immediately got into the driver's seat and started the Hummer.
in a blink.
The room, which had been full of people, was now empty except for Cao Han and Uesugi Yue.
This situation is perfect for speaking frankly and openly.
"Uesugi-senpai, shouldn't you fulfill the promise you made to me before?"
"What is it?" Uesugi Koshi looked surprised, and it didn't seem like he was faking it; he had genuinely forgotten about it after several days.
"As for joining our Monster Hunter Association, I don't think you, as a former Shadow King, would do anything shameless like cheating."
"I...this..."
To be honest, just before Cao Han spoke, Uesugi Yue really had the idea of reneging on the agreement.
As it turned out, the other party seemed to have foreseen his thoughts and spoke up in advance, completely blocking his escape route.
Considering how much the other party had helped the Uesugi family, and how much gratitude he owed them, plus the fact that he was still a junior, even with his thick skin, he couldn't bring himself to deny it. He could only awkwardly say:
"I can join, but you can't tell my two sons."
"no problem."
"Then come on, what does it take to join your association? Back when I was active in Europe, I met quite a few people of mixed race from your country, so I know you like to form alliances by blood, right?"
"No need for that trouble~"
After saying that, Cao Han casually pulled out a small pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He had bought it on the way here, and the brand was probably Japanese.
Guild members: 9/10
Under Uesugi Koshi's bewildered gaze, the "fire-linking" ritual was quickly completed, and the number of guild members reached the desired number "9".
From this moment on, former Shadow Emperor Uesugi Kotsugi officially became a member of the guild.
So, the prerequisite has finally been met.
“Now that Uesugi-senpai has joined us, he’s one of us.” Cao Han gave a satisfied smile. “So, let’s get down to business.”
and many more!
So joining the association and all that was just now wasn't the important thing at all?
Uesugi Kotsushi's lips twitched, as if he had been tricked, but now that he was already on the wrong path, there was nothing he could do.
"Before that, I'd like to ask you, senior, what is the power of words?"
Cao Han knew, of course, that the old scoundrel in front of him possessed the high-risk Word of Power number 110, "Black Sun".
That was a Word of Power that could be called a "divine art." The dragon bloodline in the bodies of ordinary hybrids was simply not enough to support the release of Word of Power with such a high sequence number.
