Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 480: Gathering of the Uesugi Family
Tokyo, a real city that never sleeps. Lu Mingfei felt a little dazed when he set foot in this city again. The parallel world that Izanami planned to escape to was similar to this world.

There, the hybrids still possessed a strong bloodline. They put on black windbreakers and walked the streets as gangsters. The dragons, which were not extinct, were dormant in the dark, waiting for the call of the kings to return to the throne of the world...

The peaceful Tokyo in that world is actually not peaceful. You never know what is waiting under the quiet night. Will it be the red-gold pupils of an out-of-control hybrid, or the minions of a runaway dragon-blood creature?

Lu Mingfei looked up at the dark sky. The neon lights in the city seemed unable to illuminate the sky. The night was like a surging undercurrent, coming from all directions, gradually devouring the city.

He stretched out his hand, and a streak of white crystal fell into his palm. It was snowing in Tokyo now.

Snow on Christmas is considered a good omen by Westerners. The white snowflakes are like the gospel from heaven, covering the world like a hazy veil, sacred and beautiful.

However, Tokyo residents did not seem to be happy about the white Christmas. The streets were too deserted, with very few cars. The doors of the shops were closed, with only the signboards at the door flashing.

The glittering snowflakes hit the ground quickly, making dense noises. The whistling wind brought with it a biting chill, sweeping past like a knife.

This Christmas, which should have represented good luck, did not have the slightest Christmas atmosphere. Unlike the hot spring town a hundred kilometers away, which only felt slightly cool, heavy snowfall and typhoons invaded Tokyo, the city that never sleeps, and ruined this rare white Christmas.

Tokyo residents huddled in their houses, somewhat puzzled. Tokyo is a city that is often plagued by disasters. Tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons... These disasters hit the city countless times a year, and they have long been accustomed to living with disasters.

But today's weather still confuses them, because yesterday, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Lu Mingfei was not surprised by this. He looked up to identify the direction and opened an umbrella in the cold wind. He tightened his clothes, hid the Christmas gift for a girl who looked like a cherry blossom, and walked into the wind and snow.

……

Shinjuku District is one of the most prosperous areas in the whole of Tokyo. The towering skyscrapers undoubtedly demonstrate its prosperity.

A blizzard hit Tokyo, equally invading the city, and the prosperity of the past has become a burden now. Before the blizzard came, the lights here were bright and gathered tourists from all over the world.

Therefore, when the natural disaster struck, the chaos was the greatest. It seemed that the increasingly strong snowstorm blocked people's way out and prevented people from coming in.

This made many people feel extremely panicked, because the sunny weather in recent days had allowed them to travel according to summer standards.

The Uesugi Building was hidden in the snow, leaving only a black shadow like a sword blade. When it was still called Genji Heavy Industries, it was the most conspicuous building in Shinjuku District. Now, in the snow, it is still the most conspicuous shadow.

The wind and snow were raging outside, but it could not affect the singing and dancing inside.

Today is the annual gathering of the entire Japanese underworld. All the prominent figures in the Japanese underworld will rush to Tokyo today, enter this sword-like building, and pay homage to the shadow emperor.

This custom has already existed when the Sheqi Eight Clans were still around, but at that time, gatherings were more likely to be held during very representative festivals such as New Year's Day.

However, the current movie star is not a traditional Japanese. He grew up in France, so many of his customs are Western. He thinks it would be better to hold such a gathering on Christmas.

As for why it was not held yesterday, on the more memorable Christmas Eve, it was naturally because the Emperor wanted to reunite with his daughters who had been away from home for some time.

In his opinion, the time spent reuniting with his daughters is obviously much more important than the entire Japanese underworld.

If the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department saw the banquet venue, they would probably be scared and consider calling for help from the Self-Defense Forces or the US Army in Japan. Countless vicious "big guys" were at the banquet. They were originally arrogant, but now they were humble and gentle.

It was not easy to quiet down this group of gangsters, but it was not too difficult for the host of today's banquet. He just took a moment out of the conversation with his daughters to announce the start of the banquet.

But no one would express dissatisfaction with this. This old man, whose biggest wish is to open a ramen shop in France, looks a little amiable when he is with his daughters. However, no one would question his ability.

Wearing a hakama with bamboo and sparrow emblems, Uesugi Kotsuya only behaves like a Japanese at this moment.

His three daughters were all beautiful in their own ways. The eldest daughter, Uesugi Minami-ryusei, wore a black furisode kimono with gold patterns. The hem and sleeves almost reached the ground, showing how noble she was.

The black furisode kimono is considered the most noble kimono, and black also has a special meaning in the Japanese Yakuza. This means that as the eldest daughter, she will be the next head of the Uesugi family, the new head of the family, and the future movie emperor.

The second daughter, Uesugi Wangshu, looked so noble in her purple middle-length furisode kimono. She seemed to be born for this. Her charming and noble temperament always attracted more attention than her elder and younger sisters.

The youngest daughter, Erie Uesugi, wore a cherry red furisode which was a little unrefined for such a serious occasion. But no one was dissatisfied with her. Besides the fact that she had the surname Uesugi, she was also loved more by the head of the Uesugi family because of her cherry red dress and her cute and lovely appearance.

This is the head of the Uesugi family and his three daughters, a family at the top of the Japanese Yakuza. In a sense, they are even more noble than the Japanese royal family.

However, there seemed to be a little discord between them now. The heavy atmosphere at the banquet made the bigwigs from all over Japan feel very stressed.

If they were given the chance, they would rather go outside and endure the blizzard again than be affected by this noble family's cold war.

The cause was the youngest daughter of the Uesugi family, who hid behind her two older sisters the entire time and ignored the Christmas greetings from young Yakuza jidai-daime from all over the place. This was nothing, after all, she had been like this for the past few years.

Things took a turn when Uesugi Yue discovered that his little daughter was hiding behind her two older sisters, actually just to use her cell phone.

He shouldn't have been surprised by this. After all, Uesugi Yue didn't like such a boring party. If the blizzard wasn't still raging outside, he would have kicked all these guys out long ago.

However, Uesugi Yue unexpectedly discovered that Uesugi Eri was not hiding to play some interesting mobile game, but to chat with someone. He was somewhat relieved to find this, which meant that his little daughter was turning into a normal person.

But what puzzled him was why it was always Uesugi Eri who was texting the other party, but the other party didn't reply at all? What kind of ungrateful guy is this! Uesugi Yue was surprisingly angry. No one! Could ignore his daughter!

He planned to ask the second daughter, who had always taken care of her younger sister, and she must know who the ungrateful guy was. Then he discovered that the second daughter, Uesugi Wangshu, who was facing the banquet with her elder sister with a dignified smile, was also absent-minded and lazy.

Uesugi Yue saw that the second daughter, like the youngest daughter, secretly took out her cell phone and sent a message roughly saying Christmas greetings to someone. The same text also said Christmas Eve blessings.

But just like the younger daughter’s situation, the guy on the other side who was equally ungrateful did not respond either!

Faced with such a situation, Uesugi Yue found himself surprisingly calm. Just like in school days, no student who thought he was hiding well could escape the teacher's sight, and his daughters who thought they were hiding well could not escape his sight either.

Although it was blurry, he guessed from the chat avatar that the two daughters sent messages to the same person. The younger daughter's methods were obviously better than her elder sister. Uesugi Yue was unable to see more messages, but the younger daughter exposed the other party's identity.

Lu Jun's note looked very ordinary, but it was not difficult for Uesugi Yue to know who it was.

Uesugi Yue, who should have thought he would be furious, calmed down again. He thought that this was a conspiracy by Angers to drag him down and control the Uesugi family. Yes, that old man took care of the boy from the Lu family as if he were his own grandson.

The Nibelungen Plan was just a cover to gain more support for him.

But there was one thing Shangshan Yue needed to confirm. When he allowed his three daughters to go to Sunan, in addition to the insistence of his youngest daughter, he also wanted to ruin the Nibelungen plan. At present, it seemed that there was no hope to entrust this task to his youngest daughter.

As for the second daughter, she said when she set out that they should avoid conflicts with the mixed-races in the west, and she probably didn't care about this mission.

The only hope is the eldest daughter. She has a sense of responsibility that is even greater than mine. She should hate this obviously unethical plan and she will not allow her younger sisters to be involved in that plan.

So, Uesugi Yue mentioned this matter to his eldest daughter.

Uesugi Nanryusei was stunned for a moment. The exquisite makeup that had troubled Wangshu for a long time for tonight's banquet was so beautiful, but at this moment it looked a little dull.

"...Father." She answered hesitantly, "Things may not be what you think. Mr. Lu really has the power to change the mixed-blood society. Wangshu, Eri, and I were all saved by him."

Shangshan Yue was stunned. What did this answer mean? What did the honorific mean? He found that his eldest daughter's words seemed to hide something. The days they spent in southern Jiangsu were far from as simple as the reports they sent to him.

"So, are you hiding something?" Uesugi Yue asked.

But Uesugi Nanryusei responded with silence. Some things, if spoken out, would only bring panic. For example, Izanami, the god of the Snake Eight Clan, had always been hidden in the bodies of their sisters.

She was the starting point and the end point of the Sheqi Eight Clans. Now that she was dead, all traces of her were gone, including her bloodline.

"Father, you should have discovered it, right?" Uesugi Nanryusei asked in a somewhat complicated manner, "The power of our bloodline..."

She didn't say anything more, but Uesugi understood what she was saying. Their royal blood was fading, and the power that had helped them rule the Yakuza was fading into nothingness.

Uesugi Yue, who had never paid much attention to the gathering, paid a little attention to it this time. He knew that these gangsters were afraid of him because of violence. And violence was about to become his past.

He probably guessed that the same thing was happening to her daughter, so she had to find some other ways to maintain the existence of the Uesugi family.

Sometimes, he even thought that he might as well obey Ange and let one of his three daughters join the Nibelungen Plan. But such an idea was extinguished by him as soon as it was born.

He thought he knew exactly what Ange was planning, so how could he let him get what he wanted?
However, the silence of his eldest daughter at this moment made him feel a little deafening. He had been single for decades, and he didn't care about anyone except his daughters, but what about his sons and daughters? After the power they were proud of faded, where would they go?

"In fact, this situation only happened to me and you, father." Uesugi Nanryusei suddenly added, "Wangshu and Eri, they still have very powerful powers, even more powerful than before."

Uesugi Yue was suddenly stunned and turned around to look at his second daughter and youngest daughter who were huddled together and seemed to be talking about some private topic.

"…Is this the misunderstanding you mentioned?" Uesugi Yue said blankly.

As one of the strongest hybrids in existence, he knew very well that, just like the extinction of dragons, the decline of hybrid bloodlines was irreversible. No one could remain unscathed in such a situation.

Even the still elegant and coquettish Angers would probably be affected... But in this situation, his two daughters still maintained the power of their bloodline, and were even more powerful than before.

The reason was simply because they came into contact with a guy who they thought was lucky.

Uesugi Nanryusei nodded slowly. This was the power she was talking about to change hybrids.

Uesugi became a little unconfident. He had always thought that Angers was lying to him, but he didn't. He even reserved three seats for him to restore the bloodline power of the half-bloods who had lost their bloodline. If such a thing were to be spread, it might not be impossible to trigger the Third World War.

The mixed-blood families have only lost the power of their bloodline, but many of them still possess strong secular power.

"What about you?" Uesugi Yue, who had come to his senses, slowly asked his eldest daughter.

Uesugi Nanryu sighed and shook his head helplessly: "I don't know..."
