"Is it possible to find it?"

Kazama Ruri became interested in Uesugi Erii; he wanted to see what kind of woman she was...

Chapter 111 Amusement Park

At Disneyland, Lu Mingfei was very glad that he had suppressed Erii's bloodline first, otherwise, given her easily startled expression, he was really afraid that he might accidentally kill the rides or the tourists around him in a fit of excitement...

Inside the haunted house, Erii cautiously tugged at Lu Mingfei's sleeve, hiding behind him and peering tentatively at the dark road ahead.

Lu Mingfei turned around and whispered in her ear, "Can't you see the scenery in the dark?"

This little monster can hear the sound of a human heartbeat, so the haunted house setting should be so intuitive for her that she could sense changes in her surroundings even with her eyes closed.

Even if it's a mechanical setup, there will always be a sound when a mechanical machine starts up, right?

Erii whispered to him, "If the dragon blood isn't activated, Erii won't be able to see it."

She used to be able to see clearly in a dark haunted house, but after her bloodline was suppressed, the sensitivity of her facial features was greatly weakened...

As she was speaking, a ghost head suddenly popped out from the wall.

"what!"

Erii suddenly hugged Lu Mingfei, closed her eyes, and pushed him forward.

Lu Mingfei was also startled. After all, he didn't have that much composure or a strong heart. If Erii hadn't been quick enough and in a good position, he might have been the one carrying Erii forward...

However, the positions of the man and woman quickly changed within the haunted house. Erii ran ahead, pulling Lu Mingfei's hand as they rushed forward...

Erii breathed a sigh of relief as she rushed out of the haunted house. Her fear subsided, and her face lit up with excitement. She said to Lu Mingfei, "Let's do it again!"

But Lu Mingfei gently shook his head and said, "No rush, let's go play something else first, what if something else is even more fun?"

He could understand Erii's excitement, just like the system had previously said about why Xia Mi liked eating Haidilao hot pot—because she had never eaten anything else delicious.

Erii might be in the same situation.

"Mmm!" Erii nodded vigorously, pulling Lu Mingfei's hand as they walked downstairs.

But Lu Mingfei fell silent as he looked at her holding his hand.

If we're not sisters, how come you're so skilled? Isn't this the kind of tactic the system uses on other girls? How come I'm being used on myself by another girl?

Why say it again?

For a moment, Lu Mingfei felt something strange going on in his head...

Despite the thrilling rides like the pirate ship, roller coaster, and splash mountain, Erii wasn't as excited.

Perhaps for this little monster covered in dragon blood, the sensory stimulation of a direct physical impact was far less stimulating than the shock to her soul.

However, Lu Mingfei seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Erii stopped in front of the carousel.

Most of the people there were young children, and some were children with their parents.

The carousel was a bit childish for Lu Mingfei, but it was just right for Erii.

She immediately pulled Lu Mingfei to join the queue.

……

Uesugi Kotsu paced anxiously at the door of the analysis room, asking Inuyama He, "Isn't there any clue or trace of Erii's disappearance?"

Although the DNA test results weren't back yet, he was truly shocked when he saw the photo.

They look so alike, so incredibly alike! He was just as handsome and dashing when he was young... The young man and woman in the two photos really resemble him when he was young.

Inuyama He found Genjiro and Erii's hair samples to be tested along with Uesugi Koshi's hair. Uesugi Koshi eagerly followed behind him, waiting for the test results.

Although the test results haven't been released yet, he's already eagerly starting to learn about the two children's past.

When he heard that both Erii and Genjiro were brought back by Tachibana Masamune, he also felt that there was a big problem.

Genjiro was taken back to his family home, and then went to Kassel College for further studies...

Erii, due to her unstable bloodline, has always lived in the intensive care unit. Because of the issue of the Word of Judgment, she is easily left with many injuries...

Uesugi's heart ached as he listened, then came the story of Erii's failed first attempt to run away from home, her tears at the crossroads, and her inexplicable disappearance at Senso-ji Temple...

“We haven’t found any clues yet, but I suspect it’s Tachibana Masamune,” Inuyama He said. “He’s a very strange person…”

"Japan has been under your control for so many years, yet you can't even defeat a newcomer like Tachibana Masamune. That's because you're too weak, and that's why you're being played like a fool."

Uesugi Koshi bluntly commented, "Do you still have people on your side who are loyal to you?"

“There are still some.” Inuyama He nodded.

Although Tachibana Masamune has been undermining his authority in recent years, he still has some trusted confidants after serving as the head of the Japanese branch for decades.

Who manages the family funds?

"Fuuma Kotaro."

"Can we get involved?"

"It's difficult, because Kotaro Fuma is a staunch supporter of Masamune Tachibana's party."

"Nonsense, what you couldn't do in decades, he accomplished in just a few years after taking office. Who else would he support if not Tachibana Masamune? You?"

Inuyama He lowered his head in shame. Uesugi Kotsushi then asked, "You think there's something wrong with the Demon Clan? Have you planted any people in them? Do you know anything about their movements?"

"They were planted before, but they were dealt with."

"..."

"No wonder you were defeated by Tachibana Masamune." Uesugi Koshi asked, his face full of disgust. "Your abilities are indeed lacking."

Over the years, most of Inuyama He's power has been eliminated by Tachibana Masamune, both openly and covertly. If it weren't for the rather strange situation involving Genjiro and Erii, it would probably have been just another story of Inuyama He being eliminated by the new boss due to his incompetence.

Just like when I was fooled by my subordinates back then... After asking Inuyama He about his own affairs, Uesugi Kotsushi then asked about his children: "How did he bring Genjiro and Erii back? Do you know who their mother is?"

“Eri was always with Tachibana Masamune, and Genjiro was brought back from a mountain village family. There was no news of their mother,” Inuyama He said.

Uesugi Koshi closed his eyes and concentrated his breath. After a long while, he asked, "Yuan Zhisheng was found in a mountain village. There is no information about his mother. Is he a foster or adopted orphan?"

“Yes, Genji was fostered by that family in the mountain village.” Inuyama He nodded.

Uesugi Kotsuki suddenly said quietly, "Has Genji never gone back to see his adoptive parents?"

"It seems...not." Inuyama He paused, taken aback.

At the time, the entire family was celebrating the Emperor's arrival, and naturally, these self-important mixed-race individuals looked down on the family that fostered Genji.

Everyone has their own private life. It's impossible for him to keep an eye on someone 24 hours a day, but it seems that Yuan Zhisheng never went back to see his adoptive parents after leaving the mountains.

Uesugi Kotsushi remained silent, his gaze gradually becoming calm and collected: "Now send your trusted men to investigate the family that adopted Genjiro. I have no doubt that they are already dead."

This has nothing to do with Uesugi Koshi. What he should do is reunite with his children after the DNA test results come out... But how should he face his two grown-up children?

He didn't even know who their mother was, or why they had fallen into Tachibana Masamune's hands... The mystery surrounding Genjiro and Erii forced Uesugi Kotsugu, a child who never grew up, to suddenly mature.

To be honest, he didn't quite trust Inuyama He, but he was even more suspicious of Tachibana Masamune, this suddenly appearing member of the Upper Three families.

It's acceptable for the bloodlines of the three upper families to be present, and it's also acceptable for them to be of royal lineage, but it's abnormal for them to appear in clusters and gather together.

"Why not just kill Tachibana Masamune?" Uesugi Koshi thought, frowning.

It doesn't seem likely. We don't know who Erii and Genjiro's mother is, and Erii's bloodline is questionable. Could it be that her royal bloodline has been reduced again?

The royal bloodline was weakened once before, changing from stable inheritance to unstable inheritance. A thousand years later, it is not impossible that it will be weakened again.

……

"That is……"

At the entrance of Disneyland, Old Tang quickened his pace.

After searching the streets of Tokyo for a whole day without success, Old Tang stopped this meaningless search and began to take on the role of a bounty hunter.

To become the king of bounty hunters, besides luck, you also need sufficient professional skills...

He began to deduce where Erii might be. He went to an internet cafe to look for information related to Erii's disappearance, hoping to find out things like Erii's hobbies and interests, and what she did before she disappeared.

And he actually found it. The webpage said that Erii went missing because she ran away from home. Before this incident, she had tried to run away from home once before, but it failed...

The reason this girl went missing was that she ran away from home? Old Tang suddenly realized that this made things much clearer.

There must be a reason for running away from home, such as a bad family situation, problems with parents or siblings, or wanting to elope with a partner... A family that would offer a 15 billion yen reward for finding her must be an extremely wealthy family...

Old Tang began to suspect that the atmosphere at Erii's house was too oppressive, which led Erii to want to run away from home. It is normal for such wealthy families to have internal strife and power struggles, resulting in an oppressive atmosphere.

That's all he could deduce, after all, he had no home, and no mother...

But if that's the reason, then Erii might be free to go wherever she wants after running away from home.

It's normal for girls to like going to amusement parks, right?

So Old Tang came to Disneyland to try his luck, thinking that if he didn't find anything there, he would have to go to a pawn shop or something.

Erii's credit cards and bank cards are definitely unusable now that she's run out of cash. If she wants to continue her carefree life, she'll need money, so she might have to sell her jewelry or something...

Then I saw a slightly familiar profile.

Although she didn't have striking knee-length red hair and her face wasn't quite the same, the girl's demeanor made her seem somewhat familiar to him.

She definitely needs to change her appearance to avoid being found by her family, but what's with that guy holding hands with her?

Old Tang hesitated a bit, since the information didn't say that Erii was in a relationship or had a boyfriend.

But that aura... it felt strangely familiar. Just by feeling it, he felt that the other person was the $1350 million he had been searching for for two days...

Erii, who had just come out of Disneyland, was quite excited.

Before running away from home, she rarely showed any emotion, but after her first successful attempt to run away from home, her life seemed to change, injecting new vitality into Erii, who had been staying in the hospital ward.

After crying once, her face showed more expression, no longer just blank.

She whispered to Lu Mingfei about what was the most fun at Disneyland... then suddenly turned around and looked at the sneaky man behind her.

It seemed like he had been discovered being followed, but Old Tang continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

To become the king of bounty hunters, a strong mental fortitude is essential.

What's wrong with me following you around? It's not like you own the road...
