At this moment, all the family heads seemed to have returned to the time when Uesugi Yue returned to the family and ascended to the position of patriarch. That feeling of oppression made them realize that the patriarch was not discussing things with them.

Instead, he was announcing something that had already been decided. Uesugi Yue didn't care about their opinions, nor did he want to care if they insisted on staying.

"Do what you are supposed to do. If you can't do it the way I want, I don't mind replacing you with someone who can do it the way I want."

"Do you understand?"

Uesugi Yue looked at the family heads. There was not a ripple in his fiery golden eyes. He just looked at them coldly, as if he was looking at a replaceable object.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Tachibana Masamune stepped forward and mediated the tense atmosphere.

"Since the masters have important matters to discuss, we, the family heads, should not disturb them. Besides, we do need to prepare the materials and manpower for revenge against the fierce ghosts."

"Then, everyone, let's leave first."

Under his mediation, the family heads left the ward one by one, and Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Yue stood together and watched the family heads leave. Only after they all left and closed the door did the two begin their conversation.

"When Herzog was talking, I really wanted to kill him. After all, if this was his real body, it would save us a lot of time and energy."

Lu Mingfei spoke jokingly as he looked at the closed door, but the murderous intent in his eyes was no joke. It lingered in his pupils, as sharp and dazzling as a sword drawn from its sheath.

"If that's the case, I can't bear to kill him. I want to slowly 'entertain' him."

Uesugi Yue also said the same thing, but his decision was different from Lu Mingfei's. He did not want to simply kill Herzog, but wanted to let him taste all the punishments in the world before sending him to meet Nidhogg in hell.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything else, but walked towards Yuan Zhisheng, the lonely elephant tortoise, who was lying on the hospital bed.

At this moment, Yuan Zhisheng was not as silent and hard as when they first met in the previous life. Lying on the hospital bed, his face was less angular and more feminine.

"How much can a person give up for justice?"

Lu Mingfei sighed. Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhinu should have had a wonderful life. If it weren’t for Herzog, they would still be happy young men living in the mountains.

Uesugi Yueya walked over and stood beside Lu Mingfei. He looked at his son lying on the hospital bed, and thought of Yuan Zhinv who was locked up in the basement after being injected with muscle relaxants by him. He also sighed.

When people mature, they will understand that everyone has his or her own responsibilities. If they evade this responsibility, no matter what the reason, then this responsibility will fall on their closest people, making them bear the heavy pressure.

Uesugi Koshi once evaded the responsibility that belonged to him, so these heavy responsibilities fell on his sons Minamoto no Chime and Minamoto no Chisei. But now, for the sake of his son and daughter, he has taken up this responsibility again and once again faced the malice of the world.

"Then why did you show up? I remember that the last time we met, you were still hiding your identity from others."

Uesugi Yue asked his question. He was really surprised that Lu Mingfei came here directly this time.

"Show my face to Herzog, let him confirm my identity, and arouse his greed."

"After all, the last time I went to see Kazama Ruri, I specifically introduced my identity to Herzog in Kazama Ruri's memory. With his control over Kazama Ruri and Gen Chikyou's minds, I believe he must have known all the information I left for him."

Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Uesugi Yue showed a hint of doubt on his face.

"I remember you once said that we should be careful and not make such a big fuss."

In response to Uesugi Yue's question, Lu Mingfei shrugged his shoulders.

"Plans are always slower than changes, and if we follow the original plan, we need to use Eri as bait, and let Gennochisei and Gennochijo as auxiliary baits."

"But we all understand that this is a gamble. Even though we have the upper hand and a great chance of winning, if we use Eri as my bet."

Having said that, Lu Mingfei shook his head and took a long breath.

"I am afraid, very afraid. I cannot bear the weight of this bet. Even if the probability of winning is 99.999% and the probability of losing is almost zero, I will still be afraid."

"I will never allow myself to do such a thing as gambling with the lives of my important people. And why should Herzog's worthless life be equal to Eri's life? His life as a stink bug living in a dark sewer has no value at all."

At this point, Uesugi Yue understood Lu Mingfei's idea. He wanted to gamble his life against Herzog's life. It was a crazy and bold idea.

But to put it in Chinese, I really found a good son-in-law. Or maybe it’s not quite right to say that, but the good son-in-law came to me on his own initiative.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Uesugi Yue suddenly laughed, and then patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder heavily with one hand.

"Great boy, you totally got my approval."

This shot was Uesugi Yue's recognition of Lu Mingfei. He fully acknowledged Lu Mingfei's love for his daughter.

"But I still have a question, which is why you are so sure that he will choose you instead of the power of the White King."

Uesugi Yue asked his last question. Although he did acknowledge Lu Mingfei's strength as a hybrid, for the huge Dragon King.

No matter what kind of power a hybrid possesses, it is insignificant in front of the Dragon King, just like a drop of water compared to a lake. Even if you are bigger than other drops of water, you will still seem too small in front of the majestic lake.

"He won't choose me as a hybrid, but he will choose me as the Supreme because he has seen that kind of power decades ago."

"Now that he has seen that kind of power, how could the greedy Herzog choose the power of the former loser, the White King?"

"In front of the Supreme Being, any power seems too small, just like in front of the ocean, any lake is just a ridiculous joke."
