Chapter 224 Erii's Changes
Looking at the equipment that Li Muyang gave to Erii, Genjiro, Tachibana Masamune, and the others were speechless.
They thought Li Muyang had tricked the naive girl into wanting to install something in her home, but it turned out to be... gaming equipment!
Li Muyang transformed Erii into an e-sports room!
At this point in time in this world, fully equipped e-sports rooms are not yet complete, let alone equipment made by Li Muyang, each one a product ahead of its time, with top-of-the-line performance! It won't be outdated even in a few years!
However, in less than ten minutes, a plain, traditional neon-lit room was transformed into a dazzling, futuristic, luxury e-sports room... Is this even possible?
Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune were both a little surprised. They hadn't even blinked, had they?
Dude, what do you actually do? Are you a part-time construction worker too?
“Done,” Li Muyang said to Erii, whose eyes were sparkling.
Yuan Zhisheng said with a wry smile, "Mr. Li, you're spoiling her a bit too much. With this equipment of yours, Erii probably spends all her time playing games."
Li Muyang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I've set up an anti-addiction system on her device. She has to take a break after playing for a while!"
Erii's eyes widened immediately: "Huh?! Didn't you promise me you wouldn't set up an anti-addiction system?"
Li Muyang retorted with wide eyes, "Can we not set it up? Once we're back in the Snake Clan, who will be able to control you with your stable bloodline? Are you really going to become an internet addict? You're corrupting my Yuxiu and Ling'er!"
Ignoring Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er, who were covering their mouths and giggling, and the little monster who was pouting and looking sullen, Li Muyang swaggered out of the room with a mischievous smile.
Since they were already there, Tachibana Masamune and Genjiro had both assumed that the equipment installation would take some time and had instructed their men to prepare lunch. Although they had given such instructions, no one expected that Li Muyang would finish it in less than ten minutes!
If he were to work as a decorator, Old Li could probably put most of the decoration companies in Japan out of work by himself!
Lunch wasn't ready yet, so everyone could only sit in the living room and wait for a while, chatting in the process.
They were referring to Tachibana Masamune and Genjiro to test what Li Muyang really wanted to do.
"Let's not beat around the bush, I'll cut to the chase. I've discovered the White King's trail, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should be hatching soon." Li Muyang took a sip of tea and dropped a bombshell right off the bat!
The explosion nearly blew Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune senseless!
What did you say?! The White King's whereabouts? And he's about to be resurrected?
"You mean..." Yuan Zhisheng was a little confused about Li Muyang's purpose.
Li Muyang shrugged indifferently: "What purpose could I have? I'm not one of your people, and I have no interest in dragon slaying. I just don't want anything too annoying to bother me. I've told you the news, and how you handle it next is your business. After all, you're the professionals, aren't you?"
Uh... this answer was a bit unexpected.
But after thinking about it again, Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune realized that it made a lot of sense.
Judging from his previous actions, Li Muyang is a very mysterious person, and he has little interest in showing his face, and is even somewhat resistant to it!
Most of the time, I stay at home.
Although they weren't quite sure where Li Muyang's real home was, it was as if it didn't exist in this world.
Li Muyang only touched upon the matter of Bai Wang, briefly explaining her coordinates before refraining from further discussion. This wasn't out of feigned ignorance, but rather because he had never been particularly interested in Bai Wang, especially after discovering that she was completely dead.
At most, it's just to help Erii inherit the power of the White King.
He didn't want Erii to become the new White King, but only to inherit the White King's power. Otherwise, those members of the Secret Party would probably stick to him like glue. Moreover, there were also the Black King, Lu Mingze, World Tree and other such settings... Li Muyang was also worried that the repercussions would be too great, and what if he couldn't control the situation?
After all, the mastermind behind this experiment was a well-established and respected Godfather, and Old Li still had some fear and awe towards him.
After a fairly harmonious and plentiful meal, Li Muyang and his two companions left the Snake Clan.
Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune were discussing matters concerning the White King.
Because of Li Muyang's meddling, there's still more than a year left compared to the original start of the story! Therefore, one of Herzog's alternate accounts, the King General, also known as the Demon Clan, is far from being able to challenge the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Furthermore, due to Totsuki's interference, a portion of the Japanese underworld has now been taken over by Totsuki. The Snake-Headed Eight Families can no longer completely ignore these chefs.
Due to various factors, Herzog's only remaining alias with any value is Tachibana Masamune. The identity of the Demon King can only be used to fool Kazama Ruri for a short time, and it is unlikely that he can fool her for long.
Don't underestimate your father's abilities!
In short, apart from Erii being abducted by Li Muyang, the Snake Clan has not been entangled in many other troubles recently, so it does not affect their plans to deal with the White King.
“I will personally deal with the White King,” Erii suddenly interjected.
Genjiro and Tachibana Masamune, who were talking, were both surprised. How could their usually taciturn younger sister (adopted daughter) suddenly become interested in the White King?
After Li Muyang and the other two left, Erii's expression returned to normal, and she kept in mind the words Li Muyang had said to her earlier.
No one is anyone else's hero. Relying on others is unreliable; in the end, you have to rely on yourself! You must keep control in your own hands!
Now that she no longer has any issues with bloodline or physical imbalance, she says she is incredibly strong!
Erii naturally knew that her older brother, Genjiro, doted on her greatly, but this affection was limited to that between siblings. She didn't directly expose Tachibana Masamune's hypocritical mask, nor was it because Erii was merciful or indecisive and unwilling to take action against her adoptive father. Rather, she wanted to eliminate him while trying to preserve the integrity of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.
There are ways to rely on yourself! It's impossible to do everything personally, leaving behind a powerful force and completely severing ties. Why would you do that? Erii has no enmity with the Snake-Headed Eight Family. Strictly speaking, as the little princess, you could say the Snake-Headed Eight Family belongs to her!
I have a feeling that after following Li Muyang for a few days, the little monster has become a bit wicked.
Hmm... maybe all naturally naive people are black inside?
In short, Erii is no longer just a pretty mascot! Previously, she couldn't truly take power because of the possibility of her going out of control, but that problem is now solved! Therefore, Uesugi Erii is the strongest fighting force of the Snake Clan!
Of course, the important task of being the head of the family should be left to Genji! Erii just wants to have the initiative in the Snake Clan, instead of being treated like a human weapon, without even the right to move freely every day!
Erii couldn't say how much she hated Tachibana Masamune. The problem wasn't as simple as it seemed. The image of her loving father was just too deeply ingrained. Even if Herzog was faking it, from Erii's perspective, the kindness of being raised was real!
Tachibana Masamune is too important to the Snake-Headed Eight Families! Without him, there would be no Snake-Headed Eight Families as we know them today, nor would there be Genjiro or Erii. It can be said that if he were not Herzog and did not have those scheming thoughts, Tachibana Masamune would be a conscientious patriarch!
Even if Erii believed that Li Muyang wasn't lying to her and that her adoptive father did indeed have ulterior motives, it wouldn't have driven Erii to the point of losing her mind and wanting to kill him relentlessly.
Therefore, Erii's current goal is to make Tachibana Masamune reveal his true colors, so that all the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and even herself, can see the truth about this leader! It is also to completely dissuade him!
There's no denying that Herzog must die! But the most important thing is how to make Erii feel better, both relieved and without feeling guilty!
Simply put, we want to squeeze every last drop of value out of him so that Herzog can die a worthy death!
This is the real reason why Li Muyang took the initiative to withdraw from the public eye, because what followed was an internal power struggle among the Snake Clan!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Erii is alone now; she has far more than one person strategizing behind her! And if anything goes wrong, a whole group of reinforcements will appear by her side!
Those devices aren't just for playing games! The most important thing is to allow the Bodhi Tree to silently access the Snake Clan's internal network! To control the artificial intelligence Kaguya-hime!
Surely no one really thinks that this e-sports room was created just for Erii to play games, right?
Getting back to the point, when Erii suddenly spoke up, Genji initially wanted to say something, since the White King was still quite dangerous. But then he thought about it and shook his head with a hint of helplessness. After all, his sister was the strongest fighter in the Snake Clan. Now that she had completely mastered the power, she would definitely need to take action when facing an enemy of the White King's caliber.
Or rather, with Erii as a backup, Genji's fear of the White King in his heart dissipated a lot!
My sister is invincible!
He's got a plan! He'll make sure Erii doesn't set foot in any truly dangerous areas! He won't let Erii fight alone!
If Erii can't even beat the White King, then there's nothing more to say, just go to sleep.
We'll have to ask for help then.
As for Tachibana Masamune, his outward reaction was similar to that of Genjiro, but deep down he was a little unhappy. It could be said that Li Muyang had caused Erii to break free from his control, and since the incident happened so suddenly, Tachibana Masamune had no way to deal with it.
He even had to worry that Erii might directly expose his identity! And there was another problem: Tachibana Masamune suspected that the White King's awakening was related to Li Muyang! What if there were other traps waiting for him to fall into?
Unfortunately, he had no choice. Even if it was a trap, Tachibana Masamune held his nose and jumped in!
