Dragon Race: Lu Mingfei Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 360: Father and Son Meet
The rear door of the Maybach was opened, and Yuan Zhisheng, dressed in a black windbreaker, walked through the rain. His face, which had completely lost its innocence and tenderness in the dramatic changes of the past few days, was pale.

He walked silently to Ange's side and sat down. The ancient alchemical sword Spider Cut worn on his waist stretched out from his windbreaker, and the blade glowed with a warm luster under the warm light of the ramen cart.

The moment he saw Gen Chisei, Uesugi Yue's eyes became sharp. He had just been a gentle and smiling ramen chef, but now he was like a snake spitting out poison to warn its prey.

"Who are you? What's your surname with the Sheqi Eight Clan?"

Uesugi Yue asked coldly.

Although he had been selling ramen on this street for decades, he could still immediately smell the murderous aura from Yuan Zhisheng. There was no doubt that the other party was from the Snake Eight Families.

Several years ago, the elite generals of the Snake Eight Families also wore solemn black clothes, but now they have changed their kimonos into suits and windbreakers, but that special aura remains unchanged - Uesugi Yue hates these humorless guys to the extreme.

In the records of the Sheqi Eight Families, he should be the "worst and most bastard" patriarch in history. Before he disappeared, he burned down the family shrine and all the information about the descendants of the White King. The Sheqi Eight Families, if not hate him to the core, at least have no respect for him.

Therefore, Uesugi Yue sold ramen in a low-key manner on this shabby street for decades. If Ange hadn't mentioned last time that the head of the Inuyama family helped him make up for the land taxes over the past few decades, he would have thought that he had hidden it well.
But now that Angra had an unfamiliar person from the Snake Eight Clan come to visit, the hostility that Uesugi Yue had hidden for decades was revealed without reservation.

"Yuan, Yuan Zhisheng." Although he didn't know the identity of the old man and why he was so hostile to him, Yuan Zhisheng still slowly said his first and last name.

"Then you are a liar." Uesugi Yue's cold voice was full of sarcasm, "The last member of the Genji clan died before the Meiji Restoration. This is clearly recorded in the family tree."

Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly and looked at Angers beside him with some confusion:

After all, it was out of respect that he accepted Angers' invitation and temporarily put aside his busy family affairs to come out for a midnight snack. He thought that Principal Angers would talk to him about something, but he didn't expect to come here and be inexplicably hostile to an old man.

"That's enough. Other families are so hostile when they come here for the first time," Ange said calmly. "Genjisei is the name on his passport. His family name should be Uesugi... Hurry up and work. This is the first time that father and son meet. At least I have to cook a bowl of ramen for my son."

Then, he turned his head and introduced Yuan Zhisheng: "This is Uesugi Yue, the worst guy in your family's records, but he is also your father in blood."

"Son? What do you mean?" Uesugi Yue widened his eyes in surprise, his body leaning back slightly, with a funny expression like a toad that was holding its breath.

His mind went blank for a moment. He had been alone and lonely in Tokyo for so many years and almost gave up on life, and now a son suddenly appeared?
Angers probably wouldn't joke about this sort of thing, and this joke isn't funny at all, but Angers' sense of humor allows him to tell jokes at a very high level.

He was somewhat bewildered as he took out the ramen from the cupboard and threw it into the boiling soup pot, as if he really listened to Ange's words about cooking a bowl of ramen for his own son;
Then he looked carefully at the handsome young man beside Ange. With the teachings of his father and himself, Uesugi Yue had been telling him over the years that the royal blood was a curse, and leaving it to future generations would only leave the curse to them.

Therefore, he had never dreamed of having a "son" or a "daughter", nor had he thought that if such a thing really came one day, he would be so nervous.

It's like the feeling of a father waiting outside the delivery room for the first cry. He is eager to know what the baby is, and wants to see them with his own eyes and hold them, but at the same time he is afraid.

How did he get by these years? Who is taking care of him? Has he suffered from poverty? Has he been bullied? Has he taken a wrong turn? Has he fallen in love with any girl?
Countless questions popped up in Uesugi Yue's mind, like pearls and jade splashing.

After the initial shock, and after confirming that Principal Ange's expression did not seem to be joking, Gen Chisheng couldn't help but want to avoid Uesugi Yue's gaze... but he couldn't avoid it.

He never knew who his biological father was before, and when he was young, he did hope that a father that other children would envy would appear by his side with him and his younger brother.

But if his father had no awareness of fulfilling his fatherly responsibilities, and just had an intimate relationship with a woman, gave birth to him and his brother, and then turned around and left without caring about him, then Yuan Zhisheng would not be particularly concerned about his life or death.

Because the character played by Herzog, Tachibana Masamune, has largely replaced the role of his father in his mind, so even though he has been busy dealing with things these days, when his brain is able to think, Gen Chisheng still frequently thinks of the time when "Tachibana Masamune" was like a kind father to him in the past. But when he thinks that under that mask is actually Herzog, who is grinning, torturing himself and killing his daughter...

Then there was a rage rising like a volcano, but he was trying hard to suppress it and not let it erupt violently.

Perhaps Principal Angers saw this and brought him to meet his biological father?

But Gen Chisei was still a little disappointed with Uesugi Yue. The man in front of him exuded a strong smell of ramen, with sparse hair and droopy eyes, and looked a little cunning. It was hard to imagine that this guy was once the high and mighty patriarch of the Eight Snake Families many years ago.

However, he soon realized that he was influenced by the impression left on him by Tachibana Masamune's past disguise, so he immediately discarded this disrespectful thought, stood up silently and bowed deeply to Uesugi Koshi - in etiquette, this was a great courtesy from a younger generation to an elder.

The muscles on Uesugi Yue's body and face were shaking uncontrollably, as if a bolt of lightning had struck him, and at the same time it had aroused his past memories; he stared at Minamoto Chisei and said with a violently trembling voice:

"I didn't expect you to be this big..."

"Although he is not the son you expected, your blood is definitely flowing in his veins."

Ange said lightly, finishing his last glass of sake, as if he was ready to get up and leave so as not to disturb the time of reunion between father and son.

For a moment, a warm feeling rose from the depths of Yuan Zhisheng's heart.

"You look so much like Yuriko... Is your mother okay now?" Uesugi Yue said softly, "I didn't expect so many years have passed..."

Angé, who was about to leave the seat, and Yuan Zhisheng, who was just feeling a little warm in his heart, were both stunned. They looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.

"Yuriko?" Angé had thought about the various reactions that Uesugi Yue would have after hearing the news, but where did Yuriko come from? And what was Yuriko?
It took him a moment to realize that this was the name of a Japanese woman, so he asked cautiously, "Allow me to ask one more question... What's the matter with this 'Yuriko'?"

"Ah... isn't he Yuriko's son?" Uesugi Yue scratched his head and hesitantly gave another name, "Is that... Yui?"

"I think what we are talking about is not the same thing...why don't you think about it carefully before speaking?"

"Could that be... Tsukimi-san? Chiyoko?..." Uesugi Yue racked his brains to recall while looking at Angé's shocked and angry face and Gen Chisei's strange expression, "Is that... Yoko? Yoko's sister? Yoko's... uh... sister?"

"You old bastard! Didn't you tell me with a serious face and solemn oath the day before yesterday that you were living a lonely and miserable old age in order to end your bloodline and not give birth to super hybrid offspring in your generation? Aren't you a virgin and stay away from all women?! What's going on with Yuriko? What's going on with Yui? Where did Tsukimi-san and Chiyoko come from? And Yoko's family... How come there are sisters? In fact, you, an old pervert, have not changed your nature over the years, right? Why didn't you mention your kidney failure in the report that you used to sell your pity about organ failure?" Ange was furious and complained, "Don't tell me that super hybrid offspring are all over Tokyo, you have a whole class of illegitimate children!"

"No! Absolutely not! I have taken adequate contraceptive measures!" Uesugi Yue said seriously, "They are all my friends and have decent jobs!"

"A job? A job of seducing a ramen cook into bed?"

"I said stay away from women! But it's not easy for an old widower like me to live alone! Is it wrong for me to go to the pub to drink a little wine to relieve boredom? Is it wrong for the women in the pub to like me? After all, even though I'm old now, I'm still a handsome man! And it's not wrong for me to drink a little too much sometimes, right? One morning when I woke up, it was raining outside, and I didn't know when... I'm not sure if anything happened that night!"

"Asshole, who knows if you'll accidentally discharge a gun if you keep going in and out of those places like this!" Ange angrily pulled out his folding knife and slammed it on the table. "If we really want to eliminate the super-hybrid bloodline, then I think the best solution is to castrate you directly!"

"I don't believe that you, an old coquettish man, have never experienced such a situation!"

……

Gen Chisei sat beside him silently. If he were depicted in an anime, his face would be full of black lines and dark clouds... He didn't know what to say, and he couldn't complain to his biological father who looked like a talk show host who cooked ramen.

"Stop, stop, stop! So... whose son is he?" Uesugi Yue stopped the argument that was about to go into a dead end.

"Before answering your question, I want you to meet your other son. Little girl, you can come out now," said Ange.

"Another one? Why is there another one?"

Uesugi Yue was stunned, and saw another figure coming out of the Maybach on the street. When the other person came closer, Uesugi Yue realized that the other person's body was so burly that he could even crush the sumo wrestlers he had seen before. In the ramen stall, he could only see the clothes wet by the rain under the cloth cover, making the strong muscles on the abdomen clearly visible...

He had to walk out of the ramen cart and stretch his head to look at the appearance of his other son; but the other party just nodded at him calmly without any other expression.

"Why, have you thought of other close female friends?" Angé sneered.

"Is it Duohe... I remember which national sumo wrestler she liked the most... or..." Uesugi Yue was not sure.

"Father, my daughter and I don't know who our mother is," said Yuan Zhisheng calmly, interrupting Uesugi Yue, who was about to start a new round of complaints and ridicule from Principal Angers. "We are both test-tube babies. Our genes come from the sperm sample you donated to the University of Lyon in France. Someone preserved it for more than 20 years. It first entered a gene bank established by the Germans, and then flowed into the Soviet Union after the end of World War II. A man named Herzog used your gene sample to cultivate test-tube babies... What happened afterwards was a bit complicated... Anyway, my daughter and I were brought back to Japan."

"Can you create a test-tube baby with just that little bit of genetic sample? Chisheng, Chinu..." Uesugi Yue's face looked a little strange, his eyes wandering back and forth between Gen Chisheng and the more than two-meter-tall Gen Chinu, "Are you two twin brothers?"

"Yes." Gen Chisei nodded. He hesitated for a moment, took out a photo from the pocket of his windbreaker, turned around and put it in front of Uesugi Yue.

The photo shows two boys climbing on a small agricultural helicopter and taking pictures. The older one is wearing flying headphones and has a ruffian smile and a proud look. The younger one is leaning against the cabin door, his round cheeks look a bit chubby in the sunset. Both boys are as handsome as girls.

For a moment, he noticed his brother's moved gaze behind him.

"Since the difference between my daughter and me is quite big... this is a photo of us when we were little."

"You call this a bit big? This is a huge difference, okay? What did your brother eat over the years to gain muscle to this extent?" Uesugi Yue widened his eyes again, picked up the photo and kept comparing the boy in it with the big guy standing silently in the rain.

Then he seemed to remember something and looked at Ange with hatred: "Damn Ange! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier! You made me look bad in front of my two sons!"

Ange sneered: "Isn't this just a confession of guilt?"

……

Yuan Zhisheng looked back, and there was no emotion on the tall girl's face, as if finding her biological father had nothing to do with him... Maybe it wouldn't be as effective as what Principal Angers said.

Did the surgery that transformed him into this seem to have also robbed him of some of his emotions?
He couldn't help but miss the weak brother who would hug him and act like a spoiled child. If it was that little girl, would he be crying out of excitement? Or would he hold his hand and not believe that the person in front of him was his biological father?
...In short, no matter what, Yuan Zhisheng could feel that there was a thick emotional barrier between him and the girl.

"Then father, what are your plans now? Do you want to go back to the Sheqi Eight Families with me?" Yuan Zhisheng asked after a while.

"Go back? Go back for nothing!" Uesugi Yue looked disgusted and indifferent when he mentioned the Eight Snake Clans. "I left there that year and you want me to go back?"

Then his tone softened again. "To be honest, I'm not ready to face you two at all... I originally thought that since the White King was dead, I should get away and return to France. I've always wanted to go back to the monastery where my mother stayed, and then die peacefully there, hold a funeral, and lie in the coffin and listen to the priests sing a requiem mass for me."

"But now with you two... I'm a little troubled. You're both so old now. Look, your brother's palm is bigger than my head."

"No way? You just said that the White King might not be dead. As the strongest half-blood in this country, and still strong enough to be the guardian of the old beauty in the pub, you actually want to just walk away now?" Angé was surprised.

"Since your student has already killed the White King once, why would it be difficult to kill him again? And since even a lunatic like you, Ange, has come, of course I, the old gatekeeper, will go home after get off work. You don't expect the old gatekeeper to take out a bat suit from the closet and put it on to fight violence if he encounters a robbery, do you? He might die of a myocardial infarction before he even goes to the battlefield." Uesugi Yue said.

"What about your two sons? Are you not fulfilling your responsibilities as a father? Weren't you very excited just now?"

"I am really excited. You see he is so old now. But after the initial excitement of seeing his son... shouldn't he let go and prepare for his funeral? Just like... you know Ange," Uesugi Yue winked at Ange who looked disdainful. "Although the curse of the super hybrid continued to be passed down... Now I just hope that these two brothers will not mess around and become studs."

"And..." He pointed at Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhinu, "Compared to this gangster with a black windbreaker and a ferocious look and the big guy over two meters tall behind, I want to have a cute and beautiful daughter. When she was a child, she wore a white sundress and white socks, with a big pink bow on her head; when she grows up, she wears a blue and white sailor suit, with a very short skirt that reveals her straight and strong long legs, and a very short top that flutters in the wind and reveals her beautiful belly button!"

"If we had met a dozen years earlier, maybe I could dress up as you described." Yuan Zhisheng said expressionlessly.

Perhaps it was a good thing that the young girl had no feelings, so that he wouldn't have to worry too much about the impression and influence that "Tachibana Masamune" had left on him... and the unreliability of his biological father.

"You old pervert, how dare you say such irresponsible and weird things in front of your son!" Angé couldn't hold back his anger.

"Although he is my father, he is only my father in terms of genes. I did not intentionally create my offspring. You two do not need to be filial to me. Just take care of yourselves." Uesugi Yue waved his hand. "You are not expecting to see the three of us act like a loving family. I am old, Ange. You have read my medical report."

"Well, except for the kidneys, all other organs have failed." Angers said expressionlessly.

"Haha - I can't laugh at this kind of joke... Anyway, you guys should do the big things. I will try my best to get to Lyon before you start fighting."

"Dream on! I'll get someone to shoot you down with a missile when your plane passes over Afghanistan!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you as an educator are a little too crazy!" Uesugi Yue protested.

"It's okay, Principal Ange. Now we have Priest Lu Mingfei and his army, as well as me and my daughter. We will resolve this crisis, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm very happy to see you today. Although it's a little different from what I imagined, I have no regrets. You can keep the photo as a souvenir, or burn it. Please take care of yourself in the future."

Yuan Zhisheng stood up silently and walked into the rain without looking back.

"That's what a man should be! It would be too embarrassing if you cried." Uesugi Yue nodded, approving of Gen Chisei's performance.

"You are such an old bastard!" Ange cursed. "I shouldn't have brought them to see you!"

Uesugi Yue shrugged: "Tonight's ramen is on me."

"Forget it. Since you want to go back to France, I'll tell you one more thing." Ange shook his head, seeming a little helpless. "In addition to being used to create these two brothers, your gene sample was also used to create an embryo...which means you have a genetic daughter. Now you, an old pervert, can rest assured in your coffin in Lyon."

"Daughter! Where is she! Is she here? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Upon hearing this, Uesugi Yue's eyes lit up and he became more energetic. He immediately looked at the Maybach expectantly, hoping that someone would get out of the car.

"Hey! It's not good to show your double standard of favoring girls over boys before your son has even gone far! Or are you really a weird old pervert?" Angé looked alert.

"Ange, what the hell are you talking about! Stop talking nonsense, where is she! What's her name! Is there a photo?" Uesugi Yue asked anxiously.

"Her name is Uesugi Erie. She should be... eighteen or nineteen years old this year. She is now the head of the Snake Eight Clan. Like her brother, she is a very beautiful girl, but she doesn't like to talk. Or rather, she can't talk because of the high level of White King blood in her body, which causes her to release high-risk words when she speaks..."

"By the way, where is she! Where is she now? Why didn't she come?" Uesugi Yue asked anxiously.

"For safety reasons, I didn't dare take her away from Genji Heavy Industries. Now the danger has not been eliminated, and we are worried that she might become the enemy's primary target." Angé stood up and took out a photo from his suit pocket. The photo showed Eri Uesugi wearing a shrine maiden costume and playing games with a controller with an expressionless face.

Uesugi Yue snatched it away and looked at the girl in the photo. His eyes became slightly hazy, and the indifference on his face was replaced by kindness:

"Uesugi Eriya... this name sounds nice!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you can now take the photos of your son and your daughter and go back to France." Angers stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait! What did you just say? Someone wants to harm my daughter?" Uesugi Echigo grabbed him belatedly.

"I'm not sure, but it's very likely. In fact, all three children who inherited your bloodline are possible, but she is the most likely." Angé said.

"Fuck it! I'll kill the whole family of anyone who dares to touch my daughter!"

The sudden noise startled Angé, and he heard Uesugi Yue suddenly slap the ramen cart hard. His eyes lit up and veins on his palms bulged. In an instant, he seemed to have turned back into the powerful Shadow Emperor. Even the ridiculous turban on his forehead could not conceal his majesty that looked down on everyone.

Well... the original text is long and it is not the main story, so I will put it in the extra story. (The main reason is that an illustration of Eri has not been finished yet)
