“The word ‘turn’ is too heavy.”
He paused slightly, then frankly admitted the core purpose of his trip:
"However, the reason I came to Japan this time is indeed for Erii."
Yuan Zhisheng's sharp, knife-like gaze swept over Xia Mi beside Lu Mingfei, then suddenly pierced Lu Mingfei's face:
"I don't understand!" His voice was filled with incomprehensible resentment. "You already have such an extraordinary beauty like Miss Xia Mi by your side, why would you... take a fancy to my younger sister Erii?!"
The faint smile on Lu Mingfei's face slowly faded.
His expression turned solemn and calm as he replied clearly, word by word: "For me, the standard for judging a partner is not appearance!"
Chapter 138 You should feel honored
The other family heads couldn't help but shift their gazes back and forth between Xia Mi and Erii, silently making detailed judgments.
Admittedly, judging solely by appearance as admired by the world is not a fair assessment.
Erii's face was as delicate and pretty as cherry blossoms in spring, but if judged solely on her looks, she was far inferior to the girl named Natsumi beside her.
because……
Xia Mi's beauty is undeniably perfect and flawless!
Her facial features were so precisely proportioned that they seemed to have been sculpted by the hand of a deity. Her facial lines were smooth and holy, and every inch of her skin radiated a natural glow. It was as if the immortal masterpieces completed by Greek sculptors with painstaking effort had suddenly been given a vibrant life and stepped into the human world!
In contrast, Erii is undoubtedly a beautiful young woman with a delicate and charming appearance.
However, neither her facial features nor her graceful figure could be considered exceptionally outstanding.
To put it more bluntly, in terms of pure "beauty," her overall appearance.
It can only be described as "acceptable," at most...above average.
The power displayed by Lu Mingfei, the "celestial being" before us, has long surpassed the realm that mortals can comprehend!
With his stature, if he were to reveal even the slightest hint of his intentions...
Countless beauties, whose looks far surpass Erii's, would rush to him, disregarding everything, and willingly throw themselves into his arms!
and so.
At this moment, I heard Lu Mingfei say in person that "appearance is not a criterion for choosing a partner".
The slightest doubt that might have existed in the hearts of the family heads who witnessed this cruel comparison vanished instantly.
It seems that what he said... was definitely not unfounded!
This person has criteria for choosing a partner...
It is probably true, as he said, that it was not determined by appearance.
Yuan Zhisheng's anger was suppressed by Lu Mingfei's statement, and he forced himself to regain his composure.
He re-examined Lu Mingfei.
Judging by his appearance alone, this man is very handsome.
But considering the power he has demonstrated—a power that transcends comprehension and is capable of influencing the global landscape…
If he wanted, countless girls from all over the world, whose looks far surpass Erii's, would throw themselves at him without hesitation.
He really didn't need to deliberately "kidnap" Erii.
Yuan Zhisheng suppressed his turbulent thoughts, his voice low and serious: "I have another question."
He looked directly at Lu Mingfei: "If your goal in coming to Japan this time is only Erii?"
Why choose such an earth-shattering method?
His tone was one of confusion and concern about the situation.
Every action Lu Mingfei takes causes a huge uproar around the world!
His direct visit to the headquarters of the Snake Clan will undoubtedly draw the attention of all intelligence agencies and major powers around the world!
This level of attention is definitely not a good thing for the family.
It could even be said that this could put Erii in an even more dangerous situation!
Faced with the questioning, Lu Mingfei's cold gaze swept over each of the leaders of the Snake Clan at the round table.
His tone was flat, yet carried a heavy weight of pressure:
"The purpose is simple."
"To intimidate all of you."
"Intimidate us?" Genji's eyebrows shot up sharply, his face filled with surprise, suspicion, and anger at being offended. "Why?"
Lu Mingfei's gaze was sharp as a knife, intently watching the changes in the expressions of everyone present.
“Because, within your Snake Clan,” he paused slightly, emphasizing the words, “someone is planning to kill Erii.”
"Nonsense!!"
Lu Mingfei had barely finished speaking!
Genjiro was like a powder keg that had been ignited, letting out a furious roar!
He slammed his fist down on the hard black and white stone table!
With a muffled "bang!", the entire desktop seemed to shake!
He instantly straightened up, like an enraged beast, his hostile gaze sweeping over the other family heads.
“This utterly clumsy attempt to sow discord,” he gritted his teeth, his gaze piercingly fixed on everyone, “who would believe it? None of you would!!”
Lu Mingfei said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth!"
His gaze returned to Erii, who was sitting quietly beside him, and then slowly rose again.
When he looked again at all the heads of the family present, whose expressions varied and were filled with horror and hostility, he realized that...
A chilling coldness silently permeated the entire room.
Lu Mingfei's voice wasn't loud, but it was like iron tempered with ice:
"But I must make one thing clear first."
"If...if Erii gets even the slightest bit hurt,"
"If anything unforeseen happens..."
His expression was cold and stern, and he spoke each word clearly:
"Then I will utterly destroy Japan."
"I will make everyone in Japan pay with their lives."
Even though Lu Mingfei wasn't consciously using his ability to sense emotions, the overwhelming, naked hostility emanating from everyone was already piercing his skin like needles, making it crystal clear to him.
Almost the instant Lu Mingfei finished speaking!
It was like a powder keg being completely ignited!
The seated family heads suddenly erupted!
They abruptly stood up, their anger burning away the last shred of reason. They glared at Lu Mingfei, their roars and howls exploding in the oppressive room.
"Who do you think you are?!" The head of the Fengmo family stared wide-eyed, veins bulging on his neck.
"Stop pretending! Do you really think you're some kind of immortal?!"
"Even if you really are an immortal—so what?!"
"Calm down! Clan heads, please calm down!" Sakurai Nanami, her face pale, hurriedly spoke up to dissuade them, trying to quell the out-of-control situation.
Despite the almost murderous glares and roars of the top members of the Snake Clan, Lu Mingfei's face remained completely unmoved.
A deep, contemptuous sneer even curled at the corner of his mouth:
"Don't even mention a few of you..."
"That's all the 'hybrids' on this planet combined."
Lu Mingfei calmly held up five fingers and gently shook them:
"It wouldn't even be enough for me to kill for five minutes."
His cold gaze swept over the faces contorted with anger and terror:
"tell me!"
"What gave you the courage to talk back to me right now?"
"Is it your god?"
Lu Mingfei's tone suddenly became more serious:
"Even if it were resurrected, so what?"
"And you..." Lu Mingfei's gaze, like a tangible blade, slowly sliced across the faces of each family head, his voice filled with undisguised contempt, "are nothing but thieves who stole a pitiful bit of the bloodline of that failed reptile! A bunch of parasites!"
"With your pathetic strength... you think you can be my enemy?"
"First, you should assess your own capabilities and limitations!"
Lu Mingfei's final gaze fell upon the quiet Erii beside him, and only then did the chilling killing intent in his eyes subside slightly.
"If it weren't for Erii..."
"If it weren't for the fact that you share the same bloodline as her..."
"Just look at the 'hostility' you're undisguisedly and overwhelmingly throwing at me right now."
Lu Mingfei's voice suddenly plummeted to freezing point:
“I have every reason to exterminate your entire ‘Snake-Headed Eight Families’.”
Lu Mingfei raised his eyes again, his gaze now filled with a haughty, condescending indifference.
"so……"
"What you should be doing right now is not impotent rage..."
