Chapter 225 The Cradle of God, the End of the Hero
"Actually, the family thinks so too..."
Hearing Tachibana Masamune's words, Minamoto Chisheng whispered.
"The secret of God is actually not important. What is important is the interests of the family. If the secrets of the Gattuso family are exposed, these interests will be swallowed up by Angers, and the same will be true for our family's secrets."
He finally understood why Tachibana Masamune believed what the Gattuso family said. The dilemma they faced was the same. They wanted to protect the secret, but were unable to face Angers.
This is an alliance of guardians of family interests.
"yes!"
Tachibana Masamune nodded.
"In the final analysis, it is still a struggle for interests. The secrets of gods contain huge interests. We are the eight Sheqi families who have protected Japan for thousands of years. There is no reason to give up the inheritance of our ancestors to outsiders."
Having said this, looking at Yuan Zhisheng's expression, he sighed.
"I know you hate these naked topics, so I rarely mention them to you, but the truth is often so naked. Do you feel disappointed, Zongzi?"
Minamoto Zhisheng avoided Tachibana Masamune's sight and looked towards the dense forest in the distance.
The blue and dark green scenery reflected in his pupils, he shook his head slightly.
"It just feels a little dirty."
"Sometimes I think that the principal won't try to awaken the gods anyway if he gets the secret. He is the most determined dragon-slaying sect, even more determined than our eight Sheqi families. In this case, why not give the secret to What about him?"
"The academy will accept everything, and by the way, the remains of God will be blown up with a nuclear bomb. At that time, we will no longer have to worry about this bomb that will explode at an unknown time, nor will we have to worry about the fierce ghosts finding Him before us. Everything can be easily solved.”
"In this case, what reason do we have to stop Angers? Are we just letting the danger spread because of the family's interests?"
Tachibana Masamune silently looked at Minamoto Chisheng who was speaking more and more briskly in front of him.
When they were just discussing the matter of aiding the Gattuso family, Yuan Zhisheng looked serious, but his brows clearly showed a tired look.
But now, when the topic of giving up was brought up, his expression gradually became more relaxed.
Like a prisoner looking forward to a free life after being released from prison, or like a social beast hiding in the stairwell after 996, finally able to smoke a good cigarette.
"Mr. Masamune?"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Minamoto Chisheng, who had not received a response for a long time, couldn't help but look back at Masamune Tachibana with some embarrassment.
He knew that he shouldn't say these words as Amaterasu, but Tachibana Masamune was a man equivalent to his father, and a little presumption in front of him was nothing.
But after all, he is not the child he used to be. He is Amaterasu, the young master of the Eight Sheqi Family. He really shouldn't say words of compromise to the enemy. If Masamune Tachibana wants to educate him, he can only Be able to listen obediently.
However, at this moment, Tachibana Masamune did not educate him. He just raised his hand slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he patted his slightly wrinkled arm on Yuan Zhisheng's shoulder.
The warm palm made Yuan Zhisheng feel a little relieved, but it also increased his doubts. He looked at Tachibana Masamune in confusion.
"After all these years, you are very tired, right?"
Tachibana Masamune suddenly sighed.
"When it comes to fatigue, there is no comparison with Mr. Masamune."
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head.
These words were not polite, but the truth in his heart.
Strictly speaking, Tachibana Masamune's efficiency in handling family affairs is only average. The reason why he is able to convince the public is because of his diligence for nearly twenty years, doing everything big and small by himself.
In terms of his level of hard work, I am afraid that no one in the eight Sheqi families can compare with him.
"You can't say that."
Tachibana Masamune shook his head.
"Handling family affairs is indeed hard work, but I feel gratified to see the family gradually grow and develop. Joy can be turned into motivation, so there is no accumulation of fatigue."
He looked at Yuan Zhisheng.
"But you are different. Amaterasu's position is not what you are pursuing, so no matter what you do, you can't relieve your fatigue."
"It's my fault. I got you involved in a power field where interests are intertwined. Although I made you one of the most powerful people in the city, for you, this place is probably just a prison, right?"
Tachibana Masamune sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng suddenly became silent.
He silently looked at Tachibana Masamune in front of him, wanting to tell him that what he wanted to do most was to leave the city and sell sunscreen at a nudist beach.
But seeing Tachibana Masamune's old eyes and half-white hair, he suddenly realized that Tachibana Masamune in front of him was already an old man.
If a young man like me says that he can't bear the hard work and wants to leave, what should this old man do?
Besides myself, the young master, who else can support this old man?
His heart softened and he immediately shook his head.
"No, Mr. Masamune, this is the path I chose."
Tachibana Masamune shook his head.
"Ziaosheng, don't worry about me. In fact, you are right. If it is just a matter of fame and fortune, it will not matter even if the family secrets are exposed to Angers. Although the benefits will be lost, the hidden dangers will be eliminated."
"However, the Gattuso family may have a choice about this path, but we have absolutely no choice. You should understand this."
Hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng nodded silently and whispered.
"Because we are descendants of the White King."
"Yes."
Tachibana Masamune sighed.
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. If the family's secrets are exposed, no one knows how the academy headquarters will face those of us who are descendants of the White King."
"We, the Eight Sheqi Family, will treat hybrids with unstable bloodlines as ghosts, imprison them and monitor them. However, from the perspective of the academy headquarters, we descendants of the White King may all be unstable ghosts and should all be cut off. The frontal lobe of the brain, becomes an idiot and then spends his life imprisoned on a desert island.”
"Both Eri and Sakura will be under strict supervision. In the most extreme case, Eri may even be erased. Can you bear this ending?"
Hearing Tachibana Masamune's words, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but look back at the girl behind him.
At this time, Eriki blinked and looked at the two of them with confusion.
She had just finished a round of Street Fighter, and after exiting the state of concentration, she heard Tachibana Masamune mention her name.
She suddenly looked stern, her crimson eyes were like those of a kitten, and she looked at Tachibana Masamune warily, worried that this guy would confiscate her game console.
But seeing that Tachibana Masamune had no intention of turning back, she felt relieved. Seeing Yuan Zhisheng turn around, she waved and raised the handle.
Yuan Zhisheng understood that she was asking: Brother, do you want to play a game?
Seeing that she didn't seem to notice anything, and that she didn't care when she heard the words "guard" and "erase", and that she was more concerned about the game at hand than these, Minamoto Zhisheng shook her head and rejected Eri Yi. invitation.
Seeing Yuan Zhisheng's refusal, Eriki was a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything. She immediately started another game and regained her concentration.
Minamoto looked at Tachibana Masamune again.
"Of course I can't stand it!"
He realized that his previous ideas were too superficial.
Entrusting everything to Ange can certainly eliminate the fierce ghosts, but it cannot solve the family's internal problems.
He can escape to sell sunscreen lotion on the beach, but what about Hui Liyi?
Eriki cannot leave the treatment room for a long time, so she cannot leave the Jakihachi family. If the academy obtains Eriki, no one knows how she will be treated.
After realizing this, Yuan Zhisheng's expression became determined, and the fatigue between his brows temporarily subsided.
"I understand that the fate of the family must be in one's own hands."
Seeing his appearance, Tachibana Masamune nodded.
"It's best if you understand. I know you are tired, but this is the only time I need your help. The whole family is behind us. Facing Angers, we have no way out."
"Well, is this the reason why we want to join forces with the Gattuso family?"
Yuan Zhisheng nodded, finally fully accepting the decision.
However, what he didn't expect was that Tachibana Masamune shook his head at this time.
"Strictly speaking, this is the reason why we want to be enemies with Angers, not the reason why we want to help the Gattuso family."
Yuan Zhisheng was suddenly confused.
"you mean?"
"I mean, our core issue is not to help the Gattuso family, but to deal with Angers."
Tachibana Masamune patiently explained.
"The Gattuso family has secrets they want to hide, which is fine, and we also have secrets we want to hide."
"Now that Angers' attention is all focused on the Gattuso family, he will naturally ignore us, thinking that we are just allies who were impressed by the rewards paid by the Gattuso family, so we went to help."
"Under such circumstances, the academy's surveillance and attention on us will be minimized. When the academy headquarters is unable to deal with us, it is the best time for us to deal with God's legacy!"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhi was horrified.
He originally thought that the eight Sheqi families supported the Gattuso family in order to protect their own interests in the hands of the academy headquarters, but he did not expect that Tachibana Masamune wanted to secretly infiltrate Chencang and secretly handle the god's inheritance while the academy headquarters had no time for him to attend to.
Rather than treating the Gattuso family as allies, they are clearly using them as a shield!
I'm afraid no one could have expected that the Japanese branch that existed as a supporting role was not just for fun. They wanted to take advantage of the internal disputes in the academy to resolve their remaining issues.
Tachibana Masamune is indeed the head of the eight Sheqi families, and even Minamoto Chisheng did not expect his intentions.
After thinking for a few seconds, Yuan Zhisheng suddenly raised his head.
"Wait! God's legacy? Are you referring to the Huangquan Ancient Road? Hasn't this thing never been unearthed?"
Ten thousand years ago, Japan's legacy from the Age of Gods was buried under the sea due to a catastrophic flood, and was deeply hidden on the ground.
The legendary well of corpses is also there, and the bones of the White King are naturally also there. This place, also known as the Ancient Road to the Underworld, is said to be able to allow hybrids to evolve into pure-blood dragons. The Sheqi family and the Menggui clan have been exploring it for so many years, but so far, they have not found any useful clues.
The eight Sheqi families do protect the secrets and legacy of the gods, but they themselves don’t know where the legacy is.
But now, according to Masamune Tachibana, the ancient Huangquan Road has been discovered?
"Yes."
Tachibana Masamune nodded.
"Before, we had been exploring the formation at a depth of 100 meters, so we never got results. But two days ago, I changed the depth of the exploration to 300 meters and finally made a breakthrough."
"Relics of the Age of Gods?"
Yuan Zhisheng asked in a low voice.
"Maybe even the cradle of God!"
Tachibana Masamune looked equally serious.
The cradle of God, the cradle of God? !
Yuan Zhisheng took a breath and rubbed his temples.
"No wonder Mr. Masamune wants to take action at this time. Indeed, when Principal Ange has no time to take care of other things, we can have the opportunity to deal with the problem of God. Otherwise, even the Sheqi Eight Families cannot resist the pressure from the entire secret party on their own. .”
He was finally able to fully understand Tachibana Masamune's plan.
The reason why they support the Gattuso family is because the Gattuso family is a bait and a shield.
As long as the Gattuso family has not fallen, the secret party and Angers will not turn their attention to the Sheqi family. During this time difference, they have the opportunity to seize the inheritance of God and arm themselves.
When the college headquarters reacts, the Sheqi family will no longer be at the mercy of Angers like they are now!
"Yes! With the Gattuso family in front, it is the best opportunity for us."
Tachibana Masamune nodded, there were not many organizations that could share the secret party's firepower, and the Gattuso family was the best among them.
The Gattuso family's request for help was something that other families were afraid to avoid, but for them who also had ghosts in their hearts, it was a God-given opportunity!
As long as they seize this opportunity, they can empty out all of God's inheritance before Angers can react!
Yuan Zhisheng carefully thought about Tachibana Masamune's plan, and had to admit that Tachibana Masamune had seized the opportunity very accurately. For decades, none of the eight Sheqi families had allies that could attract the firepower of the secret party and Ange.
This God-given opportunity will be a loss if we don't make good use of it.
Although he had some doubts about excavating the legacy of the Gods at this time, and felt that it was a bit too coincidental, looking at Tachibana Masamune's appearance, Minamoto Chisheng did not doubt anything, but put forward his own opinion.
"Mr. Masamune's plan this time is very subtle, but will Angers really act according to your expectations?"
"Aren't you worried that he will really go directly to the Japanese branch and dig out our secrets on the spot while suppressing the strike?"
Yuan Zhisheng kept a close eye on Tachibana Masamune, and he believed that this risk could not be ignored.
After all, it is a question of choosing between two. What if Angers really did not choose the Gattuso family, but chose to deal with the Sheqi family first?
Hearing this, Tachibana Masamune shook his head.
"With Angers's character, if he would be led by the Gattuso family's tricks, he would not be the dragon-slaying legend."
"The Gattuso family forced Angers to face a dilemma. One was to compromise and the other was to explode. But Angers, this man, when did he ever choose to compromise?"
"With his style, he always chooses to face danger head-on. He is an excellent hunter, and an excellent hunter will not switch prey midway. We will be safe until the Gattuso family is hunted."
Having said this, Tachibana Masamune smiled slightly and said.
"Not to mention, compared to the so-called secrets that even our Sheqi family has been searching for for so many years, isn't the newly exposed secret of the Gattuso family more attractive?"
If Ange is aware of the secrets hidden by the Sheqi family, he will definitely know that even the Sheqi family does not have their own secrets, and they have not found it for nearly ten years.
In this case, compared to the Sheqi family, the secrets of the Gattuso family are undoubtedly more tempting. There is no reason for Angers to abandon the near and seek the far away, giving up this big cake, and he may not be able to capture them. Great cookies.
The secrets of God are elusive, but the secrets of the Gattuso family can most likely be grasped.
Hearing Tachibana Masamune's words, Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly.
"If this is the case, why would the Gattuso family still invite us to join forces? They must know Angers better than we do. Don't they know that Angers' character will not give up easily?"
He didn't think the Gattuso family's planners were fools. If he knew that the Japanese branch was not enough to divert attention, why would he do it?
"Because they still have a backup plan."
Masamune Tachibana explained.
"If Angers clings to the Gattuso family and refuses to let go, I can take advantage of the situation to break away from the control of the college headquarters, and finally lead the strike to resignation, making the matter worse. If Angers chooses to let go of the Japanese branch , then we can use this to compete for more autonomy."
"And once we do this, the Gattuso family can use other school directors to impeach him on the grounds that the Japanese branch has rebelled and Angers is not able to restrain him. During the impeachment, the principal's power will be suspended, which can also prevent Angers. investigation.”
The Gattuso family is a member of the school board. They are not a weak ordinary mixed-race family. As long as they have a suitable excuse, they can use the rules to play with the power of Angers openly.
This is the prerogative of the school director!
Unless Angers deviates from the rules of the secret party and violates the resolution of the school board, he will only be led by the Gattuso family.
"Once the Gattuso family regains power, they will re-sign a treaty with us. By then we, the Sheqi family, may even join the school board of directors!"
Tachibana Masamune suppressed his excitement and said.
Naturally, being a subordinate of the Secret Party would be unpleasant, but if they could become the top leaders of the Secret Party like the Gattuso family, the Sheqi family would be very willing to do so.
Hearing the news, Yuan Zhisheng, the young master of the Eight Sheqi Family, was not very excited, but looked a little dazed.
"If the principal chooses to compromise, it will be equivalent to giving up on pursuing the secrets of the Gattuso family. It will be a failure for him."
"If the principal chooses to break out, then our Japanese branch will provide the Gattuso family with reasons to impeach the principal. With internal and external coordination, the principal will also be unable to continue the investigation, and it will end in futility."
He named two possible outcomes for Angers.
"Yeah, it's a complete dead end for Angers."
Tachibana Masamune nodded.
"He's a respectable opponent, but he's so good and so sharp that he doesn't realize he's made enemies everywhere."
"We just wanted to protect our secrets, but he forced us to join forces..."
Yuan Zhisheng couldn't hear clearly what Tachibana Masamune said.
At this moment, he recalled the sharp-edged old man he had seen, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"Can such a hero be forced into such a desperate situation?"
Thinking of this, he looked a little confused.
If Angers is the real dragon-slaying hero.
So what were he and the others who were plotting behind his back to force him into a desperate situation?
Insects?
It’s really a plan that makes people unhappy.
