But the fierce female officers who used their high heels to smash the glass and wield fire axes to chop down the steel plates in front of the windows and the locks on the fire escape door really frightened Lu Mingfei. The girls had a lot of Yang Erlang splitting the mountain to save his mother's posture... Is this really worthy of being a mafia family? Even the female employees they trained are so brave and good at fighting, keep away from strangers!

However, Hua Zhongmei Ishigami is an unexpectedly young girl. She looks a little naive, but she is able to become the leader of the first group of the underworld family's contact team at such a young age. This girl is definitely not as silly and cute as she looks.

Sino-American Ishigami Hana was originally skeptical about the researcher from the Ganliu Research Institute, until the card he handed over could actually open the elevator door and he was wearing the eye-catching white uniform unique to the Ganliu Research Institute. The doubts in Ishigami Hana's eyes disappeared in an instant. She secretly put the knife back into her sleeve with her back hand and respectfully handed the black magnetic card back to the researcher.

"Senior, has the invader not been found yet? Is he a very dangerous person?" Zhong Mei Shi Shanghua asked Lu Mingfei with some concern.

"Well, I haven't found him yet. As for whether he's dangerous or not, how can I say it..." Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, "I can't say he's a very bad person. I can only consider him a thief who came to steal the family treasure."

"Senior, I feel much more at ease now that you've said that." Sino-American Ishigami Hana patted her chest. "When will the building be reopened? Many of the girls here have been working overtime and haven't had their midnight snack yet."

"Once the intruders are apprehended or escape, Genji Heavy Industries should lift the blockade. Before that, please don't go downstairs. It might not be safe down there either." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head. "But... I heard that girls all pursue a perfect figure and don't eat midnight snacks. Eating too much late-night snacks will make your figure go out of shape, right?"

"Senior, what you said is really unromantic!" Zhongmei Ishigamihua said coquettishly.

She is now basically 100% sure that the person in front of her is a researcher from the Ganliu Research Institute... Only those seniors who are not interested in women can speak so "straightforward"!

The girls not far away looked at the overly young researcher and chattered.

"By the way, don't you think this researcher from the institute is different from the other researchers? He's not bald, doesn't wear glasses, and looks quite handsome in his uniform!" A tall girl couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingfei a few more times.

"He's really cute when you take a closer look. He's so young and yet he's already entered the rumored strict Rock Flow Research Institute. He's really young and promising! When I was in junior high school, if there was such an outstanding boy in my class, I would have pursued him madly!" A chubby girl looked at Lu Mingfei with stars in her eyes.

"Why do I feel that he looks familiar? I seem to have seen this face somewhere recently?" A slightly older, domineering beauty, who was a regular at the male escort club, pondered.

"We all work in the same building, so we probably bumped into each other by chance one day. Although people from the Rock Flow Research Institute rarely emerge from that underground cave, this handsome guy doesn't look the stuffy type!" Royal Sister's bestie joked, "You always rush straight to the gigolo club after get off work, so it's impossible that we bumped into him there by chance, right?"

"That's true!" The royal sister nodded subconsciously, and when she realized that her bestie had exposed her secret, she suddenly became angry and said, "Hey, Meizi, how could you tell so many people about me going to a male escort club!"

The girls burst into laughter. Lu Mingfei originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak away from the crowd, but he had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by a slender figure.

It was Zhong Mei Shi Shang Hua. Her slender fingers tugged at Lu Mingfei's collar, and she looked at him and asked, "By the way, senior, where's your name badge? Without it, I can't even know your name. If the director asks about what happened today, how am I going to explain it to him?"

Shi Shanghua pointed to her chest, where a name badge with her name was hanging. She then looked at Lu Mingfei's empty chest.

Before entering this floor, Lu Mingfei had taken off his badge. Having his identity exposed by Tachibana Masamune taught him a lesson. The gap between him and Yamamoto Maruichiro himself was too big. If he happened to meet someone who knew Yamamoto Maruichiro again, he would be exposed again, and then it would be difficult for him to make a progress in Genji Heavy Industries.

"Miyamoto Nobita." Lu Mingfei read out the name he had made up in advance, smiling, "You can just call me Nobita."

"It turns out to be Nobita-senpai!" Ishigami Hana looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

Of course, she had never heard of the name "Nobita", but the surname "Miyamoto" was so familiar to her. The Miyamoto family is one of the eight surnames, and the head of the Miyamoto family, Mr. Miyamoto Shio, is the director of the Ganliu Research Institute. No wonder the boy in front of her was able to join the Ganliu Research Institute at such a young age... because his surname is Miyamoto!

Then everything is easy to understand. It is common in every company to put the younger generation of the family into important institutions to gain experience and train them to become the backbone of the family.

"Shi Shanghua, have you seen a courier on this floor?" Lu Mingfei looked around. "It should be a courier wearing a yellow uniform."

"Isn't the building sealed off? The courier shouldn't be able to get in, right?" Ishigami Hana asked, puzzled. "And aren't all the packages left at the administrative counter on each floor?"

"Oh, that's right. That package is very important. I told the courier to deliver it to the 14th floor and wait for me to sign for it in person." Lu Mingfei, "It was ordered before the building was locked down, so he must still be trapped on this floor and hasn't had time to leave."

"I see." Nami Ishigami turned to look at the operators. "Has anyone seen a courier in a yellow uniform?"

The beautiful girls looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, the plump girl who had said she wanted to pursue Lu Mingfei spoke up: "A yellow uniform? I think I saw someone like that...at the corner of the freight elevator..."

"Really? Thank you so much, lovely lady!" Lu Mingfei shook the fat girl's hand firmly, then strode away.

The fat girl looked at her hands, feeling the lingering heat on them, then stared blankly at the figure with fluttering white sleeves walking away, with a crazy face: "I think... I think I'm in love!"

Another person who was also staring at Lu Mingfei's back was Nakamura Ishigami. She whispered to herself, "Miyamoto Nobita? Come to think of it, I've never heard of this name before... I still need to report this to the director."

……

Lu Mingfei really found a guy in a yellow uniform at the corner of the elevator. He was sitting in the corner leaning against the wall, looking up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.

"Ricardo M. Lu?" The guy in the yellow uniform stood up after seeing Lu Mingfei and brushed the dust off his butt. "Mr. Lu, you're so slow! You're a full forty minutes late. I thought I was going to be stood up tonight! I still have four expedited deliveries to make! Could you please be quicker next time?"

The expression on this guy's face was half complaining and half resentful. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a submissive who had just been bullied by Lu Mingfei.

"Sorry, sorry, something happened to me and I was delayed." Lu Mingfei bowed and apologized. "A damn old guy picked a fight with me, and I blinded one of his eyes, so I had to get away and rush over here."

"Hey, hey, hey, sir, are you trying to intimidate me?" The delivery guy looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise and suspicion. "Don't blame me for not telling you, our DHL couriers have all received professional anti-terrorism training!"

"No, no, you misunderstood." Lu Mingfei waved his hand. "By the way, did the guy who sent the package tell you anything?"

"Oh, just some very common instructions, like the package is valuable and must be handled with care, and it must be handed over personally to Mr. Ricardo M. Lu..." The delivery guy pulled out a small black package, a receipt, and a ballpoint pen from somewhere and handed them to Lu Mingfei. "Oh, yes, the sender emphasized this point very much, that it must be handed over to you personally. If it's stolen by someone else, this package will become a bomb and blow the whole building up... Hahahaha, I understand that he said that to prevent the package from being stolen, but he also has a good sense of humor!"

Lu Mingfei took the ballpoint pen and signed the receipt. He thought that what the guy said might be true, but it would be better not to scare the responsible courier.

"No problem, this order is done!" The courier carefully checked the name and put the receipt away. "Thank you for your patronage. If you are satisfied with the service this time, please remember to give us a five-star review. For similar business in the future, please look for DHL International Express. DHL can help you travel thousands of miles and compete for global business opportunities... I have to deliver the next order. The next customer is in Iceland and bought a new water heater online. I have to deliver it before dawn, so I am a bit pressed for time."

Listening to the delivery guy's off-key lyrics and watching him smile his signature smile, Lu Mingfei asked suspiciously, "Isn't the building blocked? How are you going to get out?"

"Sir, I work for the devil, so I must have some privileges of the devil, right?" The courier boy gave a mysterious smile and disappeared from the spot.

It all seemed like a dream, if the black package was not still in Lu Mingfei's hand.

Yes, coming and going freely in a closed building, sometimes in Japan and sometimes in Iceland, this doesn’t seem like something that can happen in reality... Only the devil has such a privilege!

Lu Mingfei used the authentic blade of Guanshi to cut open the black wrapping tape. He wondered what the previous owners of this knife would think if they knew that the famous sword they cherished like a treasure would one day be used to open a package.

Inside the package was a black iPhone 5. Lu Mingfei turned it on and the battery level showed it was fully charged.

He familiarly opened the WeChat with a green icon. There was only one friend in WeChat. The WeChat ID, WeChat name and circle of friends were all hidden. There was only one set note... "Your dearest brother."

The avatar is of a boy wearing a black suit and a white bow tie. The boy is smiling at the camera, as if he is quietly looking at Lu Mingfei through the screen.

"exist?"

Lu Mingfei opened the dialog box, edited a concise WeChat message and sent it.

"Yes, yes, I'm not dead yet!"

As soon as Lu Mingfei sent a WeChat message, a reply came. The speed was so fast that it made people wonder if the other party had already prepared a reply. Otherwise, this typing speed would definitely break the Guinness World Record.

"How do we get to Eiry? Give me some advice quickly!" Lu Mingfei's tone was a little anxious.

"Hey, hey, you're really not shy even though you call her Eri. Brother, when did you become so familiar with the head of the Uesugi family? If someone didn't know, they would have thought you two had an engagement!" Lu Mingze teased.

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you have any tricks?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Since you asked me for it, then I definitely have it! But, I've been working for you for free for so long, so I deserve some rewards for my hard work, right?" Lu Mingze said loudly, "I can turn this Genji Heavy Industries into your Nibelungen. It will be easy for you to destroy the eight Snake families. By then, not to mention the head of the Uesugi family, all the beautiful girls on your floor will be at your disposal. Wow, wow, wow... How do you think it is? Are you tempted? It only costs a quarter of a life! Pretty good deal, right?"

"I'll give you a quarter of my life. Can you also solve the bloodline issue between Eri and my senior brother?"

"This isn't just a side job, it's a real hassle! But if we really want to do it, it's not impossible..."

"Really?"

Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's true! As long as you give me the remaining three-quarters of your life, I'll grit my teeth and help you even if it means losing money!"

"Get lost! I'm talking to you about serious matters!"

"I'm talking to you seriously, but brother, you sound like a joke," Lu Mingze said. "Didn't you love reading novels? It's so difficult to defy fate in novels, and yet you're still talking nonsense. It's easy to help you wipe out the eight Sheqi families, but helping the head of the Uesugi family and Chu Zihang forcibly rewrite their bloodlines is a losing proposition... It's like going to a 4S store to buy an entry-level BMW and then asking the clerk if they can give you a limited edition Bentley or Rolls-Royce as a gift."

"So troublesome?" Lu Mingfei frowned, "Then let's proceed according to the original plan."

"Brother, didn't you snatch Tachibana Masamune's authority card? You should have no problem accessing Genji Heavy Industries now."

"But I don't know which floor Eri is on! This building is full of people from the Eight Snake Families. I can't run around in Genji Heavy Industries like a headless fly." Lu Mingfei typed angrily.

"So you gave me this phone just to chat with me? You don't even give me cheat codes like perspective or full map?"

Chapter 296 Lu Mingfei is determined to raise the sword

"There is indeed a golden finger, but it is not for you to use now." Lu Mingze's reply was still quick.

"???" Lu Mingfei was puzzled. "What do you mean? Can it only be used after I die? Is this a resurrection cheat?"

"No, no, no, what I mean is, you have to find your own girl on your own, brother. A warrior traversing the dragon's chasm and the devil's castle to personally rescue his princess—that's the kind of story that gets ratings, right?" Lu Mingze put on a "daddy" emoji. "Players who use cheat codes to complete the game won't feel any sense of accomplishment."

"That's true, but that's a game. If you Game Over once, you can gain experience, and you can load again and again, starting over again and again. Relying on the experience, skills, and equipment accumulated time and time again to pass the level, of course the sense of accomplishment is overwhelming!" Lu Mingfei kept clicking, "But this is the real world. Reality is different from games. Once you Game Over, it's really over. You can't load again, you can't start over! There are no experience points, no proficiency, and no endless lives! Compared to something as intangible as life and a sense of accomplishment... any normal person would think that life is more important!"

"Hey, who says you have no experience, no skills, and no equipment?" Lu Mingze retorted. "Haven't you been through all of this before? How did you get through these past few years? Every time, you had your head on the line, your life hanging by a thread."

"You need me less and less, because you've already grasped your own strength... Brother, isn't a true hero someone who, armed with a sword, is willing to risk his life to save the princess? Don't you actually hold a sword in your hand?"

When he saw these two paragraphs, Lu Mingfei was stunned. His fingers stopped on the keyboard and he couldn't spell out a single word for a long time.

"If you truly need my ability, I can bring the head of the Uesugi family to you in a matter of minutes. It's very simple... But brother, do you still remember why you have been so determined to find the head of the Uesugi family for so many years? You have traveled through mountains and rivers for her, you have cut through thorns and brambles for her, and now all you need is the finishing touch..."

"I understand that boys of your age are always timid when facing the girls they love, just like you in the story facing Chen Wenwen, and just like you in the story facing Chen Motong... But the head of the Uesugi family is different from Chen Wenwen and Chen Motong, and you are no longer the same person you used to be."

"You're no longer that loser who fantasizes about goddesses. Norton has become your brother, and Jörmungandr has become your sister-in-law. Didn't you achieve all this on your own?"

"Since the King of Bronze and Fire and the King of Earth and Mountains are no problem, what does a mere Genji Heavy Industries mean to you? In the past, you lacked courage and determination, so you regretted it and cried bitterly. You felt that your life was filled with regrets. But now you lack nothing. What is there to hesitate about?"

"Brother, you have to remember, when you make up your mind to take your girl away, you take her wherever you want to go... If anyone stands in your way, beat him up! If anyone wants to hurt your girl, chop him down... The moment you decide to raise your sword, the whole world will make way for you!"

Lu Mingze's words stopped here, and no more news came. Lu Mingfei stared at the lines and sentences for a long time, so long that he almost didn't recognize the most important words.

"you're right."

"Thank you."

Lu Mingfei typed the last two sentences in the dialog box, sent it, then locked the black iPhone and put it in his pocket.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and used Tachibana Masamune's permission card to swipe open the outer door of the freight elevator. He turned over decisively and jumped into the dark elevator shaft, like an eagle that swooped down quickly after finding its target.

……

Caesar and Chu Zihang were back to back, both breathing heavily, sweat dripping from their temples.

The days of working as a gigolo and the terrain surveys had left them with almost no rest. Even a mixed-blood's body would accumulate fatigue, and coupled with the burden of the blood-thirsty state on the body and the psychological pressure from the unprecedentedly powerful enemy...they didn't collapse on the spot thanks to their tenacious psychological ability to withstand pressure.

On the other hand, Yuan Zhisheng was so relaxed. He pulled out a Cohiba cigar in an aluminum tube from his suit pocket, put it in his mouth, and fumbled for the lighter all over his body without any defense. Spider Cut was carried on his shoulder with one hand, and it seemed that his whole body was full of flaws.

But Chu Zihang knew that this was just an appearance. If you thought you could take the opportunity to sneak attack Yuan Zhisheng, this terrifying emperor would definitely make you pay a heavy price.

Just now, all the bones in Yuan Zhisheng's body exploded like firecrackers, which meant that the gaps between his bones had completely closed. The bones from head to toe were connected into a complete bone line. Muscle lines and tendons that did not belong to humans protruded under the skin, and seemed like bone spurs that were about to break through the skin.

Now Yuan Zhisheng's physique is actually closer to that of a dragon than a human. His golden eyes are like Buddha lamps burning brightly in the darkness, and the golden light is brighter than that of any ordinary hybrid.

Yuan Zhisheng in this state possesses sharper senses and reactions than Caesar and the other two after their bloodbath. Huang's talent gives him defense and recovery capabilities comparable to a dragon. As an opponent, such a person is so difficult to deal with that it makes people despair!

In the past five minutes, Yuan Zhisheng has moved the battlefield into the shrine. Compared with the several top-secret screen walls in the innermost part, the murals on both sides here are relatively less precious. If they are damaged, at least there are traces to be found for repair.

"Are you smoking the one I gave you?" Caesar recognized the cigarette in Gen Chisheng's hand, because that was a top-grade collector's edition. In Japan, a country where everyone smokes sissy cigarettes, it is not easy to buy top-grade collector's edition cigars.

"Well, I've been learning to smoke a few cigarettes lately, and I've finally managed to avoid choking." Yuan Zhisheng flicked the ash off his cigarette butt. "But I still think this cigarette is suitable for occasions, but it's not as good as the Soft Seven Stars."

"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't mix cigars, a symbol of toughness, with those effeminate cigarettes? I think you're insulting my taste." Caesar frowned slightly, then suddenly smiled at Yuan Zhisheng. "But you've adapted quickly. At least you've accepted the taste. The next step is tasting it. You know, some people will never get used to the smell of cigar smoke, just like they think white sturgeon caviar is not as delicious as their own pickled vegetables."

Caesar's tone was still as arrogant as that of an older brother, as if he was pleased to see his younger brother finally grow up and become successful.

However, Yuan Zhisheng was not angry this time. After a week's absence, hearing such a familiar tone even made him feel nostalgic... In the future, no idiot would dare to speak to him in such an interesting tone. His dragon bone mode was fully activated. After smoking this cigar, he decided not to show mercy to those two psychopaths.

Chu Zihang was silent because the person Caesar mentioned who "thought that white sturgeon golden caviar was not as good as his own pickled vegetables" was referring to him.

That was the first year that he succeeded as the president of the Lionheart Club. In order to celebrate the appointment of the new president, everyone in the Lionheart Club contributed money to purchase a luxurious banquet. Halfway through the meal, Susie pointed at the white sturgeon golden caviar and asked Chu Zihang what he thought of the taste. Chu Zihang replied frankly: "It's a bit salty... Not as delicious as Aunt Tong's pickles."

Somehow, this sentence was known by the big mouth Finkel, and then the whole school knew about it. Caesar ridiculed Chu Zihang for half a semester because of this incident.

Caesar is always like this. No matter who he faces, he always has that condescending attitude, as if no one is worthy of his attention. When he turns on the taunting mode, he always attacks indiscriminately, not only hurting the enemy but also hurting friendly forces... So Chu Zihang has always disliked this guy!

Of course, Caesar didn't want to reminisce and chat with Yuan Zhisheng. He was just stalling for time. He and Chu Zihang had both witnessed the power of the emperor. Facing such a creature that didn't follow rules or make sense, they could no longer hold back. While he and Yuan Zhisheng were chatting, he and Chu Zihang both quietly raised their blood level to the second level.

Yes, Caesar can also activate the second-level blood burst. This was originally his secret weapon reserved for the next free day to deal with Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei. Today he was forced to use it. The rapid progress of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang stimulated Caesar. He has not been wasting his time fishing, hunting and picking up girls in the Amazon these years!

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you surrender now, admit that you killed the people from the Executive Bureau, and hand over the stolen murals, I will plead with the family on your behalf. At least I can help you save your lives. I still have this power." Yuan Zhisheng stared at Caesar. "If you do anything, your fate will most likely be... death!"

Along with the last word, Yuan Zhisheng slowly exhaled a puff of green smoke.

"I'll say this one last time. We didn't kill anyone, and we didn't steal the murals." Caesar's face darkened. "I, Caesar, have never been a thief in my life!"

At this point, Caesar suddenly paused, remembering that he had come from Yuanshi Heavy Industry as a thief. He immediately changed the subject: "...Even if I have been a thief, I am an upright thief. There is no way I can deny it. Who do you think I am, Caesar Gattuso?"

Yuan Zhisheng did not respond. There was no trust between them anymore. From now on, the only thing that mattered was victory or defeat, life or death. The loser would be the one to eat dust.

The candlelight in the bronze lamp suddenly flickered, and three mottled shadows on the wall swayed left and right like ghosts, and the three people moved at the same time.

But the three people's movement trajectories were different. Only Chu Zihang flew forward, while Murasame stood in front of him with a sword, and his move was a straight chop of the Shixianliu style.

Caesar retreated to the candlestick at the back, hiding in the darkness with the candlelight as cover. He pulled the trigger continuously while retreating, and four bullets poured out from the Desert Eagle. A semi-arc of fireworks flashed in front of him.

Yuan Zhisheng quietly extinguished his cigar, and the spider cut out a white flower, which fell silently from his shoulder into his hand. He waited calmly for the attack to be directed at him.

The first to arrive was a burst of four bullets from the Desert Eagle. Spider-Cutter stood horizontally in front of him and chopped at the first bullet at a strange angle. The hard alloy bullet was easily split into two.

Then Yuan Zhisheng swung his sword without any stagnation. The blade rolled up an arc like flowing water, as if drawing a surging wave in the void. The crest of the wave just covered all the bullets. The second, third, and fourth bullets were cut by this wave-like sword light, and Caesar's continuous shooting was disintegrated in the blink of an eye.

Heart-shaped sword style·Variation·Water Ripple Slash!

This is the sword technique that Yuan Zhisheng created after comprehending the ancient sword technique, the heart-shaped sword flow. The heart-shaped sword flow emphasizes ever-changing forms, while ordinary sword moves emphasize being straightforward, because the straight line between two points is the shortest, so the sword moves are both fast and steady. However, Yuan Zhisheng, whose speed and strength far exceed those of ordinary people, obviously does not need to worry about his own speed and strength being insufficient. So he comprehended a set of flowing curved swords from the changing sword intent. The trajectory of the blade is a strange arc that is different from any other sword technique, making it difficult to defend against and resist.
