Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 296: Each Other's Route (1)

Ryoma Genichirō walked slowly into the conference room with the envelope and waited.

Three hours ago, the joint team heading to Hokkaido lost contact with the headquarters.

The last phone call that the patriarch Gen Chisei made to the main family was to report the current situation in Hokkaido: Hokkaido has become a kingdom of demons, and none of the main family's affiliated gangs or local leaders have survived.

After this phone call, Genji Heavy Industries completely lost contact with Minamoto no Chisei and others, and even Kaguya-hime could not contact them.

When making the plan, Genchisei mentioned that if an emergency occurred, Ryoma Genichirō would take over the position of temporary head of the family during his absence.

If Minamoto no Chisei is confirmed dead, Ryoma Genichirō will become the official head of the family.

Ryoma Genichirō had no interest in being the official head of the family, and he didn't even want to take on the temporary role.

At this time, he just wanted to quickly resolve the crisis in Hokkaido, so he had to convene a meeting in his capacity as temporary head of the family.

Among the current heads of the eight Snake families, except for Minamoto no Chisei and Eri who are young, the other five heads of the other five families are all older.

In the eyes of young people, these five family heads are already very old, and they can become family heads only because of their seniority and age.

That's right, the five family heads are all of A-level bloodline, which is not that special. There are hundreds of people with A-level bloodline or above in the eight Sheqi families. If we really go by strength, many young people are qualified to be promoted.

But the elderly have their own advantages. They have enough experience and have gone through all the storms and waves, so they are very skilled at steering.

If you had to pick the least notable of the five family heads, it would definitely be Ryoma Genichirō.

He doesn't have the strength of Fuma Kotaro and Inuyama Ka, nor the personal charm of Sakurai Nanami, let alone the skills of Miyamoto Shio.

The word "mediocrity" is almost stuck on his forehead, but he has a strength that other family heads do not have: he is sturdy.

The Eight Clans of Sheqi are not lacking in bloodiness or bravery, but leaders should not let their subordinates blindly commit suicide.

Therefore, most of the important matters on weekdays were left to Genichirō Ryoma, who made the decisions on his own.

Tachibana Masamune used his personal experience to tell everyone that the head of the family does not necessarily have to be able to fight, but he must not lead the Eight Snake Families into a desperate situation.

The phone rang, Ryoma Genichirō took a look and answered it decisively.

Sakurai Nanami asked anxiously: "Have you contacted the head of the family?"

At this time, only Ryoma Genichirō remained at Genji Heavy Industries, and the other four family heads were on their way.

In three hours, Ryoma Genichirō's phone was almost blown up.

Inuyama Ka, Miyamoto Shio, Fuma Kotaro...the top management are all counting on the temporary patriarch to do something.

However, Ryoma Genichirō was not in a hurry to send people to Hokkaido for support. He handled some daily affairs in three hours, called the four heads of the families to come to a meeting, and spread the news that the patriarch had lost contact.

As the last head of the family to learn the news, Nanami Sakurai was a selfish motive of Genichirō Ryoma.

It was probably an emotion called love, and he couldn't bear to doubt this woman.

Rumors are everywhere, and family heads also have their own feelings.

The young people in the main family like to talk about gossip about the top management. Whenever they talk about Ryoma Genichirō, it is always about his relationship with Sakurai Nanami.

It's like a middle-aged man who has accomplished nothing, and his only luck in life is having a lover who is beautiful enough.

Everyone seemed to be confused as to why the head of the Sakurai family would choose such a man.

"Not yet." Ryoma Genichirō stuffed the envelope into his pocket. "Kaguya-sama cannot be located using communication equipment."

"How long have they been in Hokkaido?"

"24 hours."

"I'm on my way." Sakurai Nanami was no longer so anxious and gradually calmed down.

"You don't seem panicked." Ryoma Genichirō smiled rarely.

Even through the phone, Sakurai Nanami could see his smile.

This man's smile is always monotonous, with the corners of his lips raised lightly and briefly.

"Because you are not panicking either." Sakurai Nanami said, "I will arrive at Genji Heavy Industries in thirty minutes."

"I'll wait for you in the conference room." said Ryoma Genichirō.

After hanging up the phone, Ryoma Genichirō rubbed his temples with his thumbs to relax his mind.

As the first head of the family to receive the letter, he strictly followed Yuan Zhisheng's instructions and did not dare to make any mistakes, even though he was under tremendous pressure at the moment.

He couldn't guess what the patriarch's purpose was in making such arrangements, he just did as he was told.

While Ryoma Genichirō was waiting for the head of the family, Uesugi Yue used the authority card in the envelope to sneak out of the Snake Eight Clan with Eri.

He didn't mention it to anyone and avoided everyone's sight.

Uesugi Yue read the letter for a full half hour.

He didn't need to understand his son's arrangement, he just needed to know the meaning of his son's doing so.

He skipped the long speech and only needed an ending: You have to do this to ensure the safety of Eri and me.

It’s a must!

Uesugi Yue did this without even knowing that Minamoto no Chisei was in danger.

Without any hesitation.

……

Han Qiu didn't expect Yuan Zhisheng to be so cruel. It was completely beyond his expectations.

He looked back at the communication equipment in the corner of the room, including Han Qiu and their other communicators and mobile phones.

All contacts with the outside world were cut off. The ghosts wanted to trap Yuan Zhisheng in a situation without support. Now there was no need for them to take action, as Yuan Zhisheng got in by himself.

Unexpected, but it can reach the expected end.

It's a bit outrageous.

The group had no base in Hokkaido, so they randomly chose a hotel with rooms available to rest.

As the leader of both sides, Yuan Zhisheng invited Han Qiu to live together in a two-bedroom suite.

Han Qiu didn't refuse. It didn't matter, even though he felt like he was being monitored.

It was this Yuan Zhisheng who was comparable to his senior brother. When he had nothing to do, he would practice his sword skills in the living room.

Han Qiu had no cell phone to play with, so he could only read books.

"Are you trying to lure out the traitor in this way?" Han Qiu really couldn't bear to read this damn Japanese book anymore. It would be better to just chat to relieve his boredom.

Yuan Zhisheng swung his sword and slashed at the air, "One of the purposes."

Now we can’t receive any messages from Tokyo, and we can’t send any messages from here.

Wherever there is a problem, the traitor is there.

Yuan Zhisheng was certain that there was a traitor, and that it was someone close to him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to grasp one's own movements so accurately.

The plan for Hokkaido was only shared with the top management and a few family heads, including Sakura, Crow and Yasha, a total of no more than twenty people.

Four are in Hokkaido and the rest are in Tokyo.

The five family heads and Uesugi Yue each have their own arrangements, and any deviation means there is a problem.

It becomes much simpler if we further narrow the scope.

"I'm quite curious, under this arrangement, won't we still not get any support?" Han Qiu asked.

"I can't tell you this." Yuan Zhisheng stopped swinging the knife.

"Damn, why do I feel like you even doubt me?" Han Qiu complained, but he was very happy in his heart.

"I have my plans, just don't worry."
