Chapter 307: Of Course, the King-Sized Bed!
Chapter 307: Of Course, the King-Sized Bed!
"This can't go on any longer."
The old man's eyes flickered, his plans and ambitions on the verge of falling apart if he didn't take action.
This was Japan, where the Serpent Clan and the Demon Horde were under his command, and he was at the pinnacle of power. No one could stop him from ascending to the throne!
...
The cuff of his sleeve was tugged twice, and Lu Ke's gaze slowly shifted from the melted camera to below, where Hanae, her face slightly flushed, was looking at him.
Her expression held a hint of excitement, as if this game had thoroughly released the negative emotions that had been suppressed and hidden deep within her for years.
The Dragon Race had a violent streak in their blood, and even the purest Half-Dragons had a desire for destruction, let alone Hanae, who surpassed some Second Generation and was highly likely to metamorphose into a Half-Dragon with Oni traits.
"Are you having fun? Hanae won this time too."
Lu Ke reached out and gently traced her face, which was gradually regaining its vitality, and smiled with eyes filled with spirituality.
In this state, Hanae did indeed resemble Nono, with about six or seven similarities. Her delicate features, dark red long hair, and slightly smaller build than Nono's still made her a petite and exquisite beauty.
The main difference between the two was their temperament. Hanae was like an obedient and pretty doll, while Nono was always proud and sharp, never lowering her head even in the most emotional moments.
Hanae nodded obediently without speaking, as she avoided speaking when not necessary to prevent the unintended triggering of Judgment. Her bloodline was too powerful and unstable.
Seeing this, Lu Ke shook his head with a chuckle, "I almost forgot. I should have treated your body first."
He gently caressed Hanae's face, and as their skin made contact, a red glow emanated from them. A warm current spread from the point of contact, flowing through Hanae's entire body from top to bottom, head to toe.
"Hmm~"
Hanae shuddered slightly, startled by the strange sensation. She felt like a little cat, and as she swallowed the blood, a delicious taste akin to strong liquor, her body seemed to lighten, and her soul felt like it was floating.
Unconsciously, Hanae sucked on the wound, her tongue growing dragon-like iron spikes. She licked the finger pad, trying to widen the wound, but it was a futile effort.
"That's enough."
Feeling a tingling sensation in his body and mind from Hanae's licking, Lu Ke withdrew his finger. If he had continued for a while longer, he might have made a mistake.
The wound healed, and the attraction of the blood was blocked. Hanae blinked, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes as she regained her senses.
The blood she just tasted was the most delicious food she had ever had.
"Now you can speak normally, no need to worry about hurting anyone."
Lu Ke spoke gently, his voice carrying a soothing and convincing magic.
Hanae had no doubts, she exhaled and pointed upwards.
"I want to go back."
"Okay."
Lu Ke took Hanae back to the room, watching her retrieve a suitcase from under the bed, packing it with various small toys and identical clothes from the wardrobe, before zipping it up with a swish.
"Let's go out and play."
Hanae, holding her suitcase, seemed delighted.
"Of course, it's still early, and we can wander for a long time."
Lu Ke took Hanae's suitcase and stored it in his personal space, then led her outside.
They walked through the long, steel-covered corridor, through the chaotic and cluttered studios, past the clean and tidy lobby, and arrived at the entrance of Gen Heavy Industries.
Lu Ke pushed open the door and smiled, gesturing for Hanae to enter.
The golden sunlight shone through, illuminating the young girl's wine-red hair, her red and white shrine maiden costume, and her exquisite features. She gracefully stepped out, waving goodbye to the building.
...
One hour later.
In the secret chamber beneath Gen Heavy Industries, Young Brother stood in a pool of blood, his pure black dress shoes stained with fresh red, looking at the deformed, ugly, and disgusting serpent-like dead servant corpses with an ashen face.
Beside him were Chu Zihan and Caesar, with the same ashen expressions, and Old Fox, who remained silent, showing a sense of shame and guilt.
"Is the Japanese branch going overboard by keeping this thing as a pet?"
Caesar looked at the scene, which resembled a hellish feast, with disgust, "If this is the strength of the Japanese branch you speak of, Young Brother, I might have to admire it a little."
"Caesar, this is an internal matter of the Serpent Clan. We've just become friends, so please don't let this friendship unravel so quickly."
Caesar raised an eyebrow, "I apologize, but I'm just stating the truth. After all, the headquarters can't do something like this."
Young Brother, expressionless, glanced at him, "No, we are far inferior to the headquarters. As far as I know, the headquarters would freeze the fallen dragon slayers, who are called 'Monsters Under the Ice'. Each of them is more dragon-like than these dead servants. The people at the headquarters use some kind of device to control these dead servants, and they activate them when there's a target that needs to be eliminated."
Young Brother spoke coldly, "The Japanese branch may not look up to the headquarters, but will never look down on them. Even though we are growing stronger, the headquarters in its heyday would still suffer a loss of over 50%."
This loss couldn't be described as just a minor injury; a massive organization losing over half of its members would inevitably fall apart, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they would destroy each other. So, the headquarters would only try to intimidate the Japanese branch rather than forcefully demanding obedience.
Caesar was taken aback. He had never thought about these things before, even though the Caesar family was one of the school's patrons. He rejected the position his family tried to elevate him to, even though he rejected his family's attempts to elevate him.
Chu Zihan spoke up, breaking the tension between the two, "Regardless, the headquarters and the branch are still one entity. We are under the jurisdiction of the higher-ups. You need to give us an explanation about keeping these dead servants."
"And from the looks of it, our colleague, Lu Ke, eliminated the dead servant group. Imagine the consequences if these dead servants had escaped."
Young Brother took a deep breath, closed his eyes tightly, and then bowed deeply to both of them, "You're right, I apologize for my loss of composure. I will give you an explanation."
The noble "Emperor", a super half-dragon, bowed deeply to apologize to them. Caesar and Chu Zihan both fell silent.
According to Lu Ke, the status and position of the "Emperor" were outstanding. The previous "Emperor" in Japan was revered as the "Shadow Emperor", equal to the spiritual symbol of Japan, the "Emperor". An apology from someone of such a high status and position was indeed very sincere.
"Family Head, regarding your keeping of dead servants, do you have any defense?")
After apologizing, Young Brother gritted his teeth and demanded an explanation from Old Fox.
Old Fox's body twitched, and he brandished the wakizashi he always carried. Accompanied by a flash of blood, his trembling fingers fell to the ground, and he sweated coldly, letting the blood spray.
No mistakes, the original version is at 69 books! 6=9+book_bar first release of this novel.
"I have no defense. I will atone for my actions, but please let me do what I need to do."
He took out a list with his unharmed hand and handed it to Young Brother. "The list contains spies from the Demon Hordes. Young Brother, in the name of the Family Head, summon all members of the Serpent Clan for a meeting, to avoid alerting the enemy. Let the executives of the Enforcement Bureau take action against the people on this list."
Young Brother looked at the list, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. Many important departments had been infiltrated by spies, and half of the Serpent Clan had been hollowed out.
Tangerine Family Head, Tachibana Masazane, squeezed out a smile and raised his maimed palm.
"There's one more thing. I just learned that the Demon Hordes' 'Warlord' is skilled at disguise. You tell the family heads and spies that the list of members outside the list of family heads and spies can be trusted. The real Tachibana Masazane's five fingers are broken, so anyone with normal limbs is a fake replacement!"
"Before I abdicate, we must completely eliminate the Demon Hordes!"
Source Younger Brother, Yuan Zhi Sheng, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly became furious, crumpling the list in his hand. His gaze was terrifying as he asked word by word.
"Why do you know about the spy list? How do you know about the Warlord's information?"
The only one who could know these things was someone high up in the Demon Hordes, like the "Dragon King" or "Dragon" for sure!
"It was Lu Ke who told me."
Tachibana Masazane forced a smile in response.
Yuan Zhi Sheng was taken aback, his anger dissipating like smoke.
Lu Ke seemed to know everything, even though he hadn't had any contact with him before. He was well-informed about every person and matter in the Serpent Clan, and upon learning that he was the source of the information, Yuan Zhi Sheng found it quite reasonable.
"But how did he know about these things?"
Yuan Zhi Sheng muttered in confusion.
Caesar replied seriously, "Although I don't know how he obtained this intelligence, we can trust him."
Chu Zihan also nodded, "Indeed, apart from occasionally speaking in a way that others can't understand, his sources are always very reliable."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi Sheng showed a bitter smile, "Many people online say he's a time-traveler who came back with a system, and now even I'm starting to believe it."
After saying this, his expression turned solemn, "I'll take care of this matter, but the spy list needs to be tested. Killing innocent people is not the style of the Serpent Clan."
"There's a better way."
Tangerine Family Head's aged face revealed a mysterious smile, "Since the Warlord can impersonate me, I can certainly impersonate the Warlord too."
Yuan Zhi Sheng: "..."
Caesar: "..."
Chu Zihan: "..."
Indeed, this family head is an old fox. His plan sounds both efficient and sinister!!!
Tokyo is truly bustling, with rows upon rows of shops everywhere, commercial streets that dazzle the eyes, colorful neon lights flooding the view, and roads bustling with traffic.
Lu Ke first took Hanae to a high-end fashion store, where the shrine maiden costume was beautiful and alluring, but too eye-catching. Moreover, he wanted to see Hanae in other outfits.
The store clerk showered Hanae with compliments, praising her as if she were a celestial being from heaven. They brought out set after set of gorgeous clothes for her to try on, and Hanae obediently changed into each one. Finally, Lu Ke chose a luxurious red dress with lace trim for her.
This long dress was truly perfect for Hanae, and wearing the red dress made her look like a sprite in the flames.
"But... it seems even more eye-catching now."
Feeling the gazes from men and women around them, Lu Ke lightly touched his forehead, while Hanae wasn't affected much, still excitedly looking at various stalls and shops, choosing cute little toys.
Hanae enjoyed experiencing games she hadn't played before, so Lu Ke took her to an ice rink nearby. He bent down to tie her ice skates, and Hanae imitated his movements, tying a beautiful butterfly knot on Lu Ke, making him laugh.
With her powerful physique and control, Hanae learned quickly. The two of them glided on the ice, treating it like a dance floor, and performed various high-difficulty moves effortlessly, earning thunderous applause from the onlookers after their performance.
Next, they went to an amusement park, probably the easiest place to find happiness. At least, Hanae was interested in all the attractions.
They rode the roller coaster together, took a boat ride, and sat on a swing boat. Then, Hanae reluctantly pulled Lu Ke onto the merry-go-round. After that, they went on a haunted house, and Hanae was a bit nervous from the eerie ghosts and almost used "Judgment". Luckily, Lu Ke watched without causing trouble.
By the time they finished playing, the sky had darkened. The two of them held hot drinks and sat on the Ferris wheel, gazing at the dazzling night view below.
Hanae didn't know that the custom for a Ferris wheel was to kiss at the top, so Lu Ke thought for a moment. He watched her, innocent and focused on the night view, not wanting to interrupt the girl's joy.
After leaving the amusement park, Hanae tightly held Lu Ke's hand, jumping with excitement.
"Next, are you sending me back or staying out?"
Hanae became nervous, shaking her head repeatedly, "Not going back, not going back."
"Okay, then we won't go back."
Lu Ke naturally led Hanae into the hotel, and it wasn't until the receptionist asked with a gaze that seemed to say, "Can I join you?" and "How many rooms would you like to book?" that he snapped out of it.
In this situation, they should book two rooms...
Or one room with a twin bed...
Or one with a king-size bed?
