"This is Mimi, 19 years old, the most promising newcomer in the TV industry, and four or five TV stations are looking for her every day."

"Kazusa, whose specialty is the violin, has performed at the Vienna Musikverein at a young age."

"Kotono is a chess player, hehe, professional 5th dan! He now hosts a Go show on TV Asahi...... Setsuko! Hey! Setsuko! Come over here! Stand in front of us and spin in a beautiful circle!"

Setsuko is a girl who looks like Ryoko Hirosue, with a high ponytail of the kendo girl type, she takes off her high heels, bows deeply to Ange, and spins gracefully and calmly on one foot.

"Great!" Ange applauded.

"This child is a rare ballet genius, and I plan to send her to Russia to study, and one day she will shock the world." Inuyamaga smiled.

As soon as the dazzling array of young ladies here was introduced, the sushi chef had already served the raw fish in a one-meter-long white wooden boat, and the aroma of wine in the room was overflowing.

"Aki Chiji, Aga, you really remember my taste." Ange raised his glass, "Then drink, gentlemen."

Ryoma and Miyamoto glanced at each other and raised their glasses in return.

The atmosphere in the Japanese-style room suddenly became lively, and the girls gathered around Ange, and the old guy sat on the floor, holding the girls' shoulders and drinking, with the style of a Japanese aristocrat during the Warring States period.

"Whoever you like, say it, Headmaster! You're welcome!" Inuyama laughed as she pinched the cheek of the girl next to her.

"Accept so many beautiful goddaughters, arrange them in different industries, and praise them to become stars, Ah He, you really don't change!" Ange laughed too.

"My wish is to be a man like Keiji Maeda! It's a pity that it is no longer the day when BMW and Zhu Gun can dominate the world, and all kinds of pride can only be paid in flowers and wine!" Inuyama said loudly.

Shiio Miyamoto and Ryoma Kuichiro quietly exchanged glances while raising their glasses frequently, and they had been completely reduced to foils in this banquet so far, they were excluded from the conversation, and only Ange and Inuyama were left at the table with drunken shouting.

……

Genji Heavy Industries, in an office, Gen Zhisheng stared at the surveillance screen, Inuyama He was entertaining Ange, but this picture always gave him a strange sense of disobedience.

His brow furrowed, and he didn't relax for a moment, and the Yaksha beside him was looking through the information on Ange.

"Boss, I don't think you need to be so nervous...... If you look at this photo, I feel the relationship between the head of the Inuyama family and the principal...... Maybe not as nervous as you think." Yaksha flipped through the information, pointed to a photo, and said with some surprise.

Gen Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the photo that Yaksha said, which was an overexposed black and white old photo, in which an old man and a young man took a group photo in front of the military port. They stood in the calf-down water, their trouser legs pulled up high, and the aircraft carrier in the background looked as tall as a building. The old man stood behind the young man, his hands on his shoulders, the sun was so strong that they all squinted and their faces were distorted. The label below indicates the origin of this photo, which is a group photo of Inuyamaga, the first branch head of the Kassel Academy, and Rector Angers in 1948.

Gen Zhisheng was a little surprised, on the photo, Inuyama He had a young head in the Showa period, and his face was still childish, he did the math, Inuyama He was still a big boy less than twenty years old at that time, and he was still a generation away from standing with Ange, and then looked at the surveillance screen, the same two people looked like peers at the moment, and even Ange looked younger.

"This ...... It doesn't necessarily mean that they had a good relationship, but Inuyama-kun was a puppet controlled by the headmaster at the time, perhaps deliberately acting friendly." Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment and said.

"No, no, not at all. Boss, you don't have a father, so you can't see it, but if you have a father, you can see it." Yaksha looked smug.

"To the point, don't talk about dad and son." Yuan Zhisheng said with a dark face.

"Boss, pay attention to the headmaster's movements, he puts his hands on the shoulders of the Inuyama family master. My dad also liked to pose for a photo with me back then, and I thought he was weighing all the weight on me, impatiently

Tell him to stand up straight, and my father will beat me on the ass with an umbrella and say that my son is not his crutch? I should hold you up! Actually, crutches or something are just casual nonsense, this is because in my father's heart, my son is always a child, and he is always shorter than himself, so the short guy should stand in the front row when taking pictures."

Gen Zhisheng was slightly stunned, recalling that when Tachibana Masamune took pictures with him when he was young, he would also press his hands on his shoulders, which was somewhat similar to the movements of Inuyamaga and Ange in this photo.

Tachibana Masamune should have been here today, but so many things happened yesterday, and Gen Zhisheng let Tachibana Masamune rest. There was a cloud of doubt that always lingered in his heart, and the person he thought he was trustworthy suddenly became so strange that he had to take on the responsibility of leading the family.

Gen Zhisheng knew that in the eyes of many family members with a keen sense of politics, yesterday's incident of him cutting off the five fingers of Tachibana Masamune was a signal that he, the current patriarch, and the former patriarch were fighting for power. The consequence of this incident is not to say that it has caused everyone in the family to be in danger, at least it is also an undercurrent.

It is impossible for Gen Zhisheng to clarify this kind of thing, he knows very well that although he has many halos attached to the family, whether it is Amaterasu or the young master who is destined to revitalize the family, the prestige in the family is not comparable to that of Tachibana Masamune, who has been in power for many years.

No one can unite the forces within the family more than Tachibana Masamune, this is an objective reality, but at such a critical juncture, the family must not be in internal strife, and Gen Zhisheng can only find a way to stabilize the hearts of the people below.

The transfer of power has begun, and it is not something that can be stopped by saying that he is not interested, so his strategy is to take down the power of Tachibana Masamune as smoothly as possible, so he can no longer let Tachibana Masamune participate in the decision-making of family affairs, otherwise it will be regarded as still pulling.

It was really a headache, and Yuan Zhisheng rubbed his temples. He wished that nothing had happened yesterday, that he didn't know anything, that Tachibana Masamune was still the trustworthy division commander, and that he was still the knife he said he would cut whomever he wanted, but it had come to this, and he had to find a way to do his best.

……

"Is the principal here for the collective resignation of the Japanese branch?" Shio Miyamoto finally couldn't help but speak.

"You're under the management of the Executive Department, and you're resigning en masse, and it's Professor Schneider who should be worried. I came here mainly at the invitation of the students, and I stopped by to see my old friends, and it is the cherry blossom season, which is the right time to travel." Ange said.

"The headmaster means that he doesn't want to be an enemy of the Eight Snake Clans?" Ryoma Genichiro was stunned.

Inuyama waved his hand, "Ryoma-kun, if you say this, you don't understand the headmaster's style of speaking. What the Rector means is that your collective resignation is not a big deal for him, just leave it to Professor Schneider to deal with, and he will come here himself for a bigger matter."

"Ahe, you're a good translator for me." Nodded approvingly.

"The big thing that can bother the headmaster himself is Takamagahara, right? For decades, the secret party has been coveting the secrets of the Eight Families of Snakes, so you, the European nobles who are high above, will deign to be willing to cooperate with the underworld." Inuyama said, his tone gradually turning cold.

"No, not really." Ange's smile did not change, "I have no contempt for the underworld, and I have no prejudice."

"The former headmaster wasn't a polite man."

"When I say don't despise, I don't despise, don't think of me like those old-fashioned school managers." Ange took a glass of wine and drank it down, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been allowed to live to this day."

The calm arrogance stabbed out of the old man like an invisible sword, and the girls all avoided it vigilantly.

"Headmaster, so far, we have treated you as a friend, so I asked my goddaughters to come out to accompany you and set up a grand banquet. Do you really want to overturn the countertop?" Inuyamaga frowned, his gaze sharp,-for-tat.

"As far as I know, didn't my student already knock over the countertop once yesterday? You're repairing the countertops pretty quickly." Ange played with the wine glass in his hand and didn't look at Inuyama, "I still remember that when I came to Japan in 1946 on behalf of the Kassel Academy, you came to negotiate with me on behalf of the Snake Eight Family, and you also found one in a Japanese room

When a group of women came to accompany the drink, they began to negotiate in the middle of the meal, and you showed an aggressive face and told me that it is impossible for Japanese half-breeds to submit to foreigners. When you talk to me now, it's like you're back in 1946, but we're all dozens of years older."

Inuyama waved his hand, and the girls quickly retreated, kneeling down against the wall, which represented the official beginning of the serious negotiations.

"Headmaster, the family asked me, Ryoma-kun, and Miyamoto-kun to welcome you here because we were all once your students. It's a friendly thing to do, and the family doesn't want to solve the problem in a drastic way." Inuyamaga said lightly.

"Do you think I'm going to be afraid of intense ways? I came to Japan alone in 1946, and this time I was alone, not to mention that there are several excellent students in Japan."

"You mean you're enough to face the Snake Eight family alone?" Inuyama held back the anger in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"I'm old, and the eight families may be a little difficult for me, but it shouldn't be a problem to eliminate the three or four," Ange smiled, "But that's not the point, the point is, my student, Lu Mingfei, you've all seen it, right?" He's young."

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished the anger, and Inuyama He said with an ugly face: "Three sentences are inseparable from Lu Mingfei, it seems that he is indeed deeply loved by the principal. But the headmaster is talking too wildly, do you think the current Snake Qi Hachiya is still the same as it was in 1946?"

"Even a pimp like you has entered the entertainment industry and become a celebrity agent, of course, it's a little different." Ange said lazily, "But don't think it's great to have a little bit of a relationship with a female star. Young people are always like this, they will brag about a second-tier star after having dinner with them, as if they have slept with a movie queen. I like to say something like "I'm not what I used to be", but in fact, I just made a few rich and powerful friends, attended a few high-end social events, and thought that the whole world was in my own hands. Oh, by the way, what year were you born?"

The corners of Inuyama's eyes twitched, as if there was a poisonous snake stirring and beating there, Ange did know how to provoke him, he was the envoy of the family, and the banquet was arranged here to negotiate with Ange, but Ange's attitude was like that of an awkward child, Ange could give him a candy, or slap him to let him play.

"Ahe, you've accidentally exposed your inner thoughts a long time ago. You arranged this kind of extravagant scene, hugged the woman, put on the posture of an old hooligan to talk to me, and suddenly turned your face aggressively, did you want to prove to me that you have grown up and have your own voice? All these years have passed, and you are still as desperate as you were when you were a child to prove to me that you have grown up." Ange slowly picked up a piece of tuna belly, "But you're not young anymore, you're dying old."

Inuyama He Moran, he knew that he had made a mistake, he spent three days preparing for this reception, vacating the most luxurious venue of the Inuyama family, gathering the most beautiful girls under his umbrella, summoning Mimi, Kazusa, and Kotono to arrange time to push off all the acting activities and go home to report, he prepared the grandest ceremony to welcome Ange, all this seemed too eager, he was too eager to show Ange the strength of the Inuyama family today, he wanted to shake Ange with might, and then negotiate terms with him.

But Ange was too old, old enough to become an old fox, and he saw through Inuyamaga's intentions at a glance and mocked them mercilessly...... People who dare to speak loudly only when they are surrounded by people in full costume undoubtedly have cowardice in their hearts.

What would you do if you negotiated with someone for Angers? It was easy for Inuyama to think that it must be a casual black tea with someone in his principal's office, this old guy didn't need to rely on anything to increase his prestige, he himself was the biggest reliance.

"Headmaster, it's been almost sixty years since we've surrendered to you, isn't that enough?" Inuyama said in a deep voice, "Your students are still alive, they even came over yesterday to make a big fuss, we didn't pursue these, we don't owe anything to the secret party, we just don't want the secret party to intervene in our affairs, isn't it okay?"

Ange smiled, "Your business? What are your things?"

"No comment! The family's secrets are not for outsiders!"

"Let me guess then

It's good to guess your family's secrets, a guess may not be right." Ange took a deep breath of his cigar and exhaled as he watched the smoke dissipate through the air, "The Japanese hybrids have always been a mystery, because Japan is a country that has been to Japan and has had little contact with the outside world since ancient times. Since ancient times, the Japanese have closed off their borders many times, so Japan was not included in the formation of the traditional mixed-race society, and before the Meiji Restoration, we had never even heard of the name "Snake Eight Families". It stands to reason that a small, closed island nation simply does not have the conditions for the emergence of a strong hybrid, unless, unless, the genetic origin of the dragon family of the Japanese hybrids is different from that of other hybrids in the world."
