Dragon Clan: My identity seems to be wrong.

The meeting room fell silent again, and the faces of several family heads turned completely dark. Since the headquarters had already been involved in this matter, they had no choice but to cooperate even if they were unwilling.

"Zhisheng, is there no possibility of changing this matter?"

The head of the family also had a bad look on his face. He lowered his head and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, but his voice was very cold.

"Dad, you know the attitude of those people in the headquarters. I have no choice. Besides, Kaguya has found some clues. Don't worry, Dad. Those guys from the Menggui Clan will definitely not be able to escape this time."

This time, Yuan Zhisheng did not call him the patriarch, but used a more intimate name. Seeing that the patriarch had a serious expression on his face, he thought that he was worried about whether the plan could succeed, so he wanted to use this method to increase his confidence.

"Well, Zhisheng, just go and do it. The Sheqi Eight Clan will fully cooperate with you."

The patriarch didn't say much, just nodded to indicate that he knew about it.

"Don't you have a second thing to say? Go on."

The patriarch's face returned to its calm state again, and he looked at Yuan Zhisheng with the same kind eyes, but there was something indescribable deep in his eyes.

Seeing that the family heads did not raise any objection to the plan to encircle and suppress the fierce ghosts, Yuan Zhisheng breathed a sigh of relief and casually talked about the second thing.

“Actually, this matter is only about me.”

Yuan Zhisheng opened his mouth slowly, his words were slow but full of determination.

"After this matter is over, I want to resign from the position of head of the Executive Department and the position of head of the Yuan family."

"Nani!"*6

Except for the patriarch, the other six family heads all looked incredulous. They couldn't understand why someone would just throw away their hard-earned status and power.

"Everyone here is my elder, so I won't hide it. In fact, I was opposed to being the head of the executive department at the beginning, but I had to take the position because the situation was urgent. Now that the Japanese branch has calmed down again and the underground underworld forces are all under control, I can step down with peace of mind."

After saying that, Gen Chisei breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Now it seemed that Eri's bloodline was no longer a problem, and she would definitely run away with that brat. So, as the head of the executive department, what else was there for him to do? He might as well go to the nude beach and sell sunscreen!

"But Master Yuan, if you leave..."

There was also a family head who wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by the head of the family.

"Alright, since it's Zhisheng's decision, let's do it. When he took the position, it was me who flattered him and asked him to take on the responsibility. Now that the situation has stabilized, let him have a good rest. When this matter is over, Zhisheng, you can find a successor."

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the patriarch with some surprise. He thought that the patriarch was the most likely to oppose, but he didn't expect that he would choose to support him. However, since the patriarch chose to support him, then others would have even less reason to oppose.

Sure enough, although the other family heads looked unhappy, they did not say anything else. Instead, they began to think about the candidate for the next director of the executive department.

"Okay, now that we have finished discussing everything, let's go about our own business. Zhisheng, please stay for a while."

The patriarch spoke and concluded today's meeting. Several family heads stood up and left, but before leaving, they all looked at Yuan Zhisheng deeply, with unclear meanings.

The patriarch spoke only after the figures of the several family heads had all disappeared.

"Zhisheng, you have suffered a lot these years. I shouldn't have forced you to be the head of the executive department and let you bear the pressure for so long."

The patriarch stretched out his dry hand and touched Yuan Zhisheng's head, saying with a look of heartache.

"Dad, what are you talking about? As a member of the Eight Snake Clans, shouldn't you take on some responsibility?"

Yuan Zhisheng had a calm expression and did not comment on what the patriarch said.

"But don't forget that you have another identity. You are Amaterasu, one of the eight families of Snake. You are responsible for the great mission of protecting Japan and preventing the return of God!"

The patriarch's tone suddenly became high, and his dry body seemed to burst with vitality again. A strong sense of oppression permeated his body, making Yuan Zhisheng find it difficult to breathe. This was not a physical pressure, but a psychological one. Yuan Zhisheng had always respected this old man who was both his teacher and father, so he believed in his words without a doubt. He just didn't know what his intention was in suddenly bringing this up.

"So, after I've annihilated the demons, I've decided to start looking for the well of corpses hidden in Japan. This time, the tragic mission of our three families will end here. Then you can go find your own dream. Oh, yes, it's to sell sunscreen on the beaches of France, haha!"

Hearing the patriarch's words, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes flashed with emotion. He didn't expect that his father would remember his dream and support him so much, and even decided to end the possibility of the White Emperor's revival ahead of time. Even though his heart had become extremely cold during the three years of killing ghosts in the Executive Department, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Thank you, Dad!"

The patriarch looked at Yuan Zhisheng, whose eyes were filled with tears, with a kind smile on his face.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? I watched the three of you grow up with my own eyes..."

When he said this, the kind smile on the patriarch's face froze slightly, and Yuan Zhisheng's expression also stiffened.

"Okay, you go back first and take care of Eri."

Sensing that the atmosphere was beginning to become tense, the head patriarch directly asked Yuan Zhisheng to go back first.

"Okay dad, I will take good care of Eri."

Gen Chisei no longer had the interest to continue chatting, so he stood up obediently, bowed to the patriarch, and turned to leave. He now only wanted to go back to see Eri to calm the waves in his heart.

After he left, in the quiet room, the patriarch's face, which had originally had a gentle smile, suddenly became gloomy and even looked a little hideous.

"Hmph, headquarters, headquarters again. Why do those damn guys repeatedly set their sights on a tiny country like Japan! And Yuan Zhisheng, there must be some unexpected event that made him want to withdraw. It seems that the plan should be advanced. If the plan succeeds then..."

The patriarch stood up and closed the door. The whole room fell into darkness, and the patriarch closed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying the darkness.

"I am the only God in this world!"

A crazy and morbid smile suddenly appeared on the patriarch's face, and his figure began to slowly change as he spoke, and finally merged into the darkness and disappeared.
