The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 58 Love and Not Love

"Your strength is beyond doubt," Angers said to Uesugi Kotsugi. "We have almost all of our top-tier combat power on this side."

It can be said that almost half of the world's top hybrid races are located in present-day Tokyo.

But as long as they can't find the mastermind behind it all, they still have the possibility of being caught off guard and suffering a setback.

Who can be sure that there were only three lucky ones who emerged from Black Swan Harbor twenty years ago?

"Herzog and Bondarev should both be real people," Huo Yuhao said softly, "but the key question is who Tachibana Masamune really is."

"What if Tachibana Masamune is Herzog?" Angers asked.

Huo Yuhao looked at Erii, who was about to finish her second bowl of noodles: "He was able to easily gain Erii's trust and send her to the altar."

That's right, Erii is the key, the most crucial key to reviving the White King.

"Once the White King's remains are found, the two brothers, Genjiro and Genjiro, who have become sworn enemies, will inevitably fight to the death," Chu Zihang also stated his deduction.

Caesar continued, "If the two brothers, both severely injured, are not enough to revive the White King, he still has Erii as a bargaining chip."

"This is the safest option."

Uesugi Kotsushi's face was ashen.

"You burned down the shrine of the Hebi-Hachi family, so there's a lot about the Emperor that the current members of the Hebi-Hachi family don't know," Angers said gravely. "We can't be sure if this conspiracy started sixty years ago."

That would be terrible.

"It seems there are no members in the Snake Clan older than the Wind Demon Clan Head, right?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Uesugi thought for a moment and said, "That seems to be the case."

Anyway, all the old guys from when he was the movie king are dead.

Caesar raised an eyebrow at Chu Zihang: "Remember those old guys who interrogated you at the academy last year? They were genuinely afraid of dying!"

Angers chuckled irritably and scolded, "You brat, do you think I've lived too long?"

Caesar quickly raised his hand to show his innocence: "I didn't say that, Principal."

Angers shook his head: "In that case, Japan is indeed the best testing ground."

Huo Yuhao seemed to be deep in thought.

The testing ground, what are they testing?

"Those guys have been trying to walk the 'path to godhood'," Angers said coldly.

Anyone who wants to become a dragon and trample on everyone else, no matter who they are, is his mortal enemy!

"The Path to Godhood." Uesugi Kotetsu was stunned. "You mean, the mastermind behind this doesn't want to resurrect the White King, but wants to become the White King?"

"That makes sense," Huo Yuhao nodded, this way the other party's motives would be more convincing. "He's been planning this for decades, do you think he just wants to become the White King's servant?"

"Naturally, I must usurp the throne, become the new White King, and enjoy power and immortality!"

"It's crazy," Chu Zihang said, "but it's reasonable enough."

Caesar frowned: "The Japanese are very stubborn. They've kept the secret of the White King's bloodline hidden for so long; they're all tight-lipped. Why did they send the Shadow Emperor's genetic sample for research back then?"

Uesugi Kotsugi looked embarrassed.

What else could it be? With the staff of the previous three companies dwindling, he was practically the only one left.

But after all these years of trying, he still couldn't have a child. Those old guys were afraid that the bloodline of the top three families of the Snake Clan would disappear, so they naturally had to use technology.

It's unknown how many of his gene samples his family provided... To cultivate three healthy and normal children, the experiments would probably have to be done more than three hundred times!

Most importantly! Those samples are enough to last forty years!

Uesugi Koshi was shocked by the level of his sperm motility and developed a great sense of awe for technology.

Technology is really getting more and more advanced.

Seeing Uesugi Kotsu's expression, everyone understood the reason.

"Are you going back to the Snake Clan now?" Huo Yuhao asked Uesugi Yue.

Uesugi Koshi shook his head: "Going back won't change anything; it will only alert the enemy."

Nowadays, the only high-ranking member of the Hebikihachi family who still recognizes Uesugi Kotaro is the oldest, Fuma Kotaro.

It's a pity that Inuyama He died, otherwise he would have had one more supporter.

"Alright," Ang nodded. "I'll let you know if there's any news. This time, the commotion won't be small."

Huo Yuhao recalled the contents of the Japanese map he had looked up: "The Tama River is in Yamanashi Prefecture, very close to Mount Fuji, right?"

Chu Zihang looked at him: "You suspect that the resurgence of the White King might cause Mount Fuji to erupt?"

"Logically speaking, as a Chinese person, I should wish that Mount Fuji would erupt continuously for decades, wiping out all Japanese people." Huo Yuhao looked at Uesugi Kozue. "Don't you hate them too?"

Uesugi Kotsugi's expression was not good.

If that's the case, he deserves to die, and might even be considered one of the most deserving of death.

But why has he managed to survive until now?

It's because they're afraid of dying.

Erii chewed on noodles, staring blankly at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao chuckled: "Why don't you change your nationality, Erii? I feel like your Chinese blood is stronger than your Japanese blood."

Erii looks so much like Nono, it's possible that her genes come from the Chen family.

Erii blinked, then turned back to continue chewing.

"I think it's feasible," Caesar thought seriously. "Then we can register Erii on your household registration and change your name to Lu Erii. That sounds pretty good."

Veins bulged on Uesugi Kotetsu's forehead instantly: "I disagree!"

"You haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a father, so what right do you have to disagree now?" Angers patted Uesugi Kotsugi on the shoulder. "The child is all grown up now, and she can choose her own future."

"But..." Uesugi Yue was getting anxious. No wonder he disliked Huo Yuhao from the beginning. It turned out that this guy wanted to take advantage of his family's cabbage!

"In short, I will not agree!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly seemed lost in thought.

Does failing to fulfill one's responsibilities as a father disqualify one from interfering in their child's life?

Even though Uesugi Koshi's knowledge of Erii was limited to her appearance and name, just knowing that Erii was his child made his concern for her so intense that it was obvious to the naked eye.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Huo Yuhao understood at that moment that he actually craved his father's love.

But now he understood even more clearly that Dai Hao had never cared about him and Huo Yun'er.

After his birth, Dai Hao rarely returned to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but he did go back occasionally. Perhaps the Duchess concealed the existence of him and his mother from him, or perhaps she lied and claimed they were dead to deceive him.

But Dai Hao is a Title Douluo. Even a small duke's mansion can be investigated if he is willing to do so, or even just send someone to investigate. He can discover that Huo Yun'er is still alive.

But he didn't; he seemed to not even know that Huo Yuhao had ever existed.

[Love and not love are really obvious.] Huo Yuhao regained his composure.

"That's something to worry about after we deal with the White King." Huo Yuhao's eyes cleared again. "Back then, there were many dragon subspecies beneath the Abyss. They might have escaped with the White King as well."
