Chapter 329: The Transfer Student

Chapter 329: The Transfer Student



Tokyo, Japan, the Serpent Clan.

A tumultuous event shook the nation, nearly destroying Japan in an instant, but once the dust settled, it was as if nothing had happened.

The Serpent Clan not only suffered no losses but also rose higher due to the annihilation of the Demon Hordes, the detonation of the timed bomb in the trench, and the destruction of the sacred remains that lured the descendants of the Imperial Bloodline.

The Warlord was found dead in the Serpent Clan's prison, his heart crushed in his chest. Dozens of bodies with similar injuries were discovered across Japan, and the Enforcement Bureau found a broken gun barrel on the last discovered victim.

Just as Lu Ke had prophesied, the Warlord was dead.

Due to his outstanding performance on the battlefield and his sincere attitude in admitting his mistakes, coupled with the Imperial Blood flowing through his veins, Genji Shina was granted a special release from the Black Prison.

This was a blatant display of privilege, and even though the Serpent Clan was convinced by Genji Shina's abilities, they couldn't suppress the dissenting voices from below.

The Family Head, Genji Shina, expressed his remorse, stating that he had failed to live up to the trust of the clan leaders and his role as the spiritual leader. He decided to resign from his position as the Family Head to atone for his mistakes.

This announcement shocked the entire Serpent Clan. Although they were dissatisfied with the privileged behavior, every leader would show favoritism to their own. Opposing this decision was an emotional outburst, and forcing the Family Head to step down was too severe, especially considering Genji Shina's well-known capabilities and achievements.

However, Genji Shina was resolute in his decision. He immediately summoned all members of the Serpent Clan to the shrine for the handover ceremony.

Men dressed in black, with white-sheathed short swords at their waists, marched in perfect unison, forming two long lines. Their expressions were solemn, as if they were on a pilgrimage.

Genji Shina stood at the front, holding a piece of paper—the final six candidates for the Family Head position, chosen through a family-wide vote. He began to read them out.

"The candidates for the position of Family Head are: the leader of the Ninja Killer Group, Wind Demon Kotaro; the king of the sex industry, Kanayama Kaoru; the business and gambling industry manipulator, Ms. Sakura Nanami; the arms dealer leader, Ryuma Genichiro; the shipping tycoon, Miyamoto Shigeo; and the former Shadow Emperor, Kusanagi Etsu!"

The audience below whispered amongst themselves.

"Kusanagi Etsu is an old man; he's been the Family Head before. It's not appropriate to appoint him again."

"The Miyamoto family head is also unsuitable. The smuggling part of their shipping business has been classified as a gray industry and is no longer allowed. Their scale is too small now."

"So, the next choice is between the Wind Demon family head, Ryuma's family, and Kanayama's family. The Wind Demon family is the clan's backbone, and Ryuma's family provides weapons, which is no small matter. I must vote for Kanayama!"

The results of the new round of voting were tallied, and the priest, holding the votes, nervously handed them over. Genji Shina's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he soon relaxed, accepting the outcome.

"I announce that the 75th Family Head is..."

The heads of the Lower Five Families held their breath, paying close attention. All eyes were fixed on the piece of paper.

"Ms. Sakura Nanami!"

Damn!

The entire shrine erupted into chaos as a woman was chosen as the Family Head during a time of abundant talent and prosperity. Voices of dissent filled the air.

Genji Shina, who had dropped this bombshell, ignored the commotion and quickly completed the handover with Sakura Nanami, whose expression was strained. She then decisively rushed out of the shrine.

From now on, whatever happened within the Serpent Clan had nothing to do with him!

"I've booked your flight to Hawaii, and here are the orders for sunscreen, the purchase contract for the house, and the remaining assets. Please review them, Young Master."

"I'm no longer the Young Master or the Family Head."

Genji Shina sat in the back seat, ignoring the no-smoking rule, and lit a Soft Seven cigarette. He took a deep drag, slowly exhaling the nicotine, feeling a sense of inner peace.

"You'll have better opportunities if you stay with the Serpent Clan."

Yabusaki Sakura's voice was firm, "We swear to follow you forever."

"It's up to you," Genji Shina closed his eyes, "How is Hanae?"

"She's with Lu Ke at Cassel Academy. After graduation, she might return to China with him."

"That's good, that's good."

Genji Shina opened his eyes, nodding calmly, but a cracking sound came from his hand as he unconsciously entered Dragon Bone State and crushed his phone.

"What about Shina?"

This time, Yabusaki Sakura hesitated, "He's working as a host at a top-tier club called 'Takamagahara.' He says he enjoys chatting with different girls and exploring and comforting their hearts."

"That little rascal."

Genji Shina leaned back, his body relaxing as if he were a turtle finding solace in a pond.

"That's good too. He's starting his own life and won't be following me around forever."

He sighed, his gaze turning towards the airport, a smile on his face.

"It's time I start living my own life too."

...

At the Niubulonggen station in Beijing, Yemengaddi leaned against the train car, her eyes glistening with tears, like a spring.

Her body was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, and her sculpted form was flushed red. Her stunning face was adorned with strands of hair, but the dragon king's usual coldness and pressure were nowhere to be found.

"Yemengaddi, you do have a special preference for teenagers, don't you?"

A younger version of Lu Ke stood behind the female dragon, exuding youthful energy. His well-defined abs were pressed against the deformed dragon's body, with a tail protruding from between them. He let out a snort and tugged on the dragon's tail, pushing it forward.

"What a naughty dragon."

"No, I don't. Don't talk nonsense."

Yemengaddi bit her lip, vehemently denying it. She turned her head and glared at Lu Ke, about to retort when a muffled groan interrupted her, the rhythm suddenly intensifying.

...

"Next time, come up with a better excuse. How could you say something as ridiculous as 'my dragon can do backflips'? Your brother's lower body is stuck in the wall. How can he do backflips?"

Lu Ke, now fully dressed, criticized their recent date, causing Yemengaddi, who was lying on the ground, to let out a disdainful humph.

It was this scumbag who had requested this script—a boy seduced by a seductive older woman in a secluded corner. How could he even say such things?

Pfft! Shameless!

Hmm... Although she had to admit, it was quite enjoyable to play that role.

Yemengaddi lazily swished her tail, feeling the post-coital weariness and comfort. Despite his roughness, like a pile driver, she couldn't deny the satisfying feeling of being conquered. Perhaps it was in the dragon race's genes to appreciate and identify with such ruthless brutality.

"Not staying here? Fenrir quite likes you."

"Today is Hanae's transfer to Cassel, and there's a play to watch."

Lu Ke glanced at the satiated female dragon and said, "Don't digest it. I want to see if a dragon king-level lifeform can conceive my offspring."

"The White Queen's life level is higher than mine," Yemengaddi said, patting her belly. "That woman, I think her name is Sake Mai, what did you do with her?"

"I ate her Dragon Bone Cross. After she woke up, we played a friendly match, and she left, seemingly disillusioned with men and planning to date women instead. But we exchanged contact information, so I guess she's a friend with benefits."

Lu Ke savored the memory of Sake Mai's snakelike waist and alluring long legs, licking his lips.

Since he didn't intend to make her his girlfriend, he hadn't cared about her past. But now, he had unexpectedly hit the jackpot. Seeing such a fiery woman remain chaste was likely because she had once loved someone else, and he had reaped the benefits.

"Without the Dragon Bone Cross, Sake Mai is no match for you, and she's not stable enough. If you can't conceive either, then..."

Yemengaddi's eyes lit up. "Will you feed the White Queen's Dragon Bone Cross to me?"

Lu Ke thought for a moment. "Hmm, feed it to Hanae."

Yemengaddi: "..."

Why couldn't this scumbag just die?!

...

It was a surreal day, as if the whole world had forgotten about Caesar Gattuso.

When Lu Mingfei asked who had accompanied the Boss on the Kui Gate Project, Fingal said it was Abdullah Abbas. Lu Mingfei then asked why "Abbas" was Gattuso's heir, and Fingal explained that Abbas had been adopted at a young age and chosen as the heir due to his exceptional abilities. When Lu Mingfei thought Fingal was joking and asked others, every single person seriously confirmed it was Abdullah Abbas.

It was as if they were trying to make him think he was the one with the problem! Feeling dazed, he stumbled into the grand hall, which was already filled with people. Almost all the students had gathered, not for a class but for Principal Ange's ceremony to honor the students' brave fight the day before.

The Lionheart Club and the Student Council sat on opposite sides, still not on good terms. When Principal Ange invited the representatives to the stage to receive their awards, Lu Mingfei pinched his face in disbelief as he saw Chu Zihan and a tall, unfamiliar man walk up together.

The expected pain arrived, but Lu Mingfei felt like he needed to see a psychologist instead.

Could it be that he hadn't been dreaming?!

"How did you become so foolish after some time apart?"

The familiar voice came from beside him. Lu Mingfei turned to see Lu Ke, with his tall and slender figure, sitting by his side, calmly watching the stage.

"Boss, you're back! I've missed you so much!"

Lu Mingfei couldn't control his emotions and hugged Lu Ke tightly, as if he had finally found his pillar of support. Nonno, sitting on Lu Ke's other side, scowled and forcefully pried him away.

"Lu Mingfei, if you're looking for a man, go find Fenrir. Don't stare at my sister's man."

Lu Mingfei felt a bit embarrassed. "...Sister, my relationship with the Boss is purely platonic."

Lu Ke patted Lu Mingfei's head affectionately. "Silly boy, which brother would treat you as well as I do? Don't you realize I treat you like a son?"

"But that proves our brotherly bond, doesn't it?" Lu Mingfei replied matter-of-factly. "Brothers always want to be each other's father. Ah, Boss, I definitely don't have such thoughts. I only have boundless admiration for you."

After the flattery, he tentatively asked, "Um, Boss, do you remember the day we went to the bathhouse after the Free Day? It was me, you, Chu Senior Apprentice, and..."

"Abdullah Abbas. He's a real man, like a polar bear!"

Lu Ke answered earnestly.

"It's Caesar Gattuso! How could even you, Boss, forget about him?"

Lu Mingfei was almost in tears. Even Lu Ke, who was all-powerful in his mind, didn't remember Caesar. How could they find this person now? Although Caesar's relationship with him wasn't as close as that of Wastrel Senior Apprentice and Chu Senior Apprentice, he was still one of his few friends.

They had even fought the Storm Dragon and gone diving together!

"It's more surprising that you remember him," Lu Mingfei said.

Lu Ke looked at Lu Mingfei with a strange gaze. After Lu Mingze's spiritual body was erased, the special ability that Lu Mingfei possessed didn't disappear. He still had the same resistance to the cause-and-effect-altering incantations as in the original novel.

Hearing this, Lu Mingfei's spirits lifted, and he eagerly asked, "Boss, you do remember Caesar, right?"

"Hmm, isn't Caesar on stage?" Lu Ke lifted his chin, and Lu Mingfei followed his gaze. The handsome old man seemed to be reciting his speech impatiently and then threw the script aside, indicating the end of the ceremony.

"Next, let me introduce a few new classmates. They are exchange students for this semester, and due to certain circumstances, they're joining us late. Everyone, please get along well with them."

A dazzling blonde-haired man with bright blue eyes and a handsome, charming appearance stepped out from behind the curtain. His well-developed chest muscles made many girls feel inferior. He stood proudly on the stage, exuding a confident and almost arrogant smile.

"I'm Caesar. You can challenge me, but I'm ready to laugh at you!"

His declaration was somewhat offensive, but Lu Mingfei, it was a relief.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't know why Caesar's achievements had been replaced by those of Abdullah Abbas, the person in front of him was still the original, arrogant Italian noble. It was fine as long as he was here.

Having experienced so many bizarre events, Lu Mingfei felt that it was indeed better to not seek too much understanding in life.

The second transfer student to appear was a girl with dark red long hair. She was exquisite and beautiful, behaving in a docile manner. Even just introducing herself as "Uesugi Hanae," she received a round of applause.

Lu Mingfei was pondering the resemblance between this Japanese girl and Nonno when she directly left the stage and walked towards him, her soft voice echoing in his ears.

"Hello, can you give me this seat?"

Lu Mingfei glanced at Lu Ke, who had already opened his arms to welcome her, and suddenly realized that this was the Japanese girl his boss had met online.

He quickly stood up, "Sure, sure."

As he stood up, Lu Mingfei's expression changed. This new classmate, Uesugi Hanae, looked even more like Nonno, as if they had some blood relation.

His boss was really a player... so different from his pure love ideals.

"If you don't want to listen, you can go back to sleep or go keep Zero company. I'll handle the principal's side."

"Thank you, Boss."

Lu Mingfei nodded and bowed, then after a moment's hesitation, he chose to leave. He felt a sense of moral superiority in his heart, a spiritual fulfillment that a scoundrel like his boss couldn't understand.

The last new student to appear caused a stir. She had waist-length hair, wore a white dress, and had gentle and serene features, resembling NoMa.

"Hello everyone, I'm NoMa, the prototype for the central computer's NoMa image at the academy."

Fingal, sitting below the stage, almost lost control and went berserk. The burly man was so excited that he almost cried.

Just then, Caesar, also a new student, stepped forward and knelt on one knee. He took NoMa's left hand and gently kissed it.

"Ma'am, your beauty and elegance have conquered me. May I be your boyfriend?"

Fingal's expression instantly became fascinating, then turned to rage. He couldn't believe someone dared to NTR him right in front of him!

Before he could react, Chu Zihang, who was on stage to receive an award, stiffly walked over and knelt on one knee as well. He took NoMa's right hand and gently kissed it, speaking in a monotone voice.

"Ma'am, your beauty and elegance have also conquered me. May I be your second boyfriend?"

NoMa playfully winked at Fingal below the stage, "I'll consider it."

Fingal stood up in disbelief, his face contorting, and then he let out a deafening scream.

"Noooooo!"

Lu Ke watched with amusement as the disruptive Fingal was dragged away by the guards and snapped his fingers in satisfaction.

This was the condition he had set for Chu Zihang and Caesar - to confess to NoMa simultaneously.

Nonno rolled her eyes and pinched the man who was enjoying the misfortune of others, "That's too much. Caesar is single, but Chu Zihang and Su Xi just started showing some interest in each other. You're going too far."

"It's not that big of a deal. They're just confessing once. There won't be any follow-up." Lu Ke rubbed his chin, "This scoundrel started a thread that led to an uncontrollable group fight, and he even threatened to expose me as the Dragon King to the other board members. If he hadn't realized his mistake and turned back, this punishment would be considered light. I even prepared a big gift for him."

Hanae blinked her clear eyes, "What big gift?"

Lu Ke's lips curled up, "NoMa's body has been immersed in the 'Male Drowning Spring,' and Fingal in the 'Female Drowning Spring.' If they both encounter cold water..."

"Pervert!"
