Back when he was in the Western world, he did indeed leave behind quite a few "seeds" under the pretext of "keeping them for research."
Unexpectedly, this act led to the birth of three children.
"How long are you two brats going to eat that tiny bowl of noodles? I'm closing up shop!"
What does it mean to turn your back on someone and not recognize them? Uesugi Koshi demonstrated it on the spot.
After learning that Genjiro, Genjiro, and Uesugi Erii were his children, he found everything about the Arrancar stall, which he had previously been extremely satisfied with, to be utterly unpleasant. All he could think about was getting to see them as soon as possible, instead of wasting time here.
As for joining their organization, it's just a toy made up by a few kids, like a "study group," so what's there to care about?
That's just how realistic the former movie star is.
"Old man, you haven't joined the organization yet?"
"I did agree to join your organization, but I didn't say when I would join. Just wait and see." Uesugi waved his hand impatiently, showing just how shameless and brazen he was.
Then, as if taking something from the two of them, he cleared away the bowls and chopsticks.
Without looking back, he pulled the cart and disappeared from their sight in a flash.
Fingel had initially intended to stop him, but just as he was about to speak or make a move, he stopped Cao Han with a look.
"Boss Cao, it's a shame not to recruit such a fighting force."
"It doesn't matter! We are an organization of the new era. The old guys will be eliminated by the times sooner or later. They still have value to us now."
Firstly, as a father, Uesugi Kotsu would certainly not sit idly by while his two sons fought to the death, and at the very least, he could buy Cao Han time to get in touch with Kazama Ruri later.
Secondly, the current head of the Snake Clan is "Old Coin" Tachibana Masamune. What if a new "Shadow Emperor" suddenly appears?
Even though Uesugi Kotsugu initially had no intention of vying for power with Tachibana Masamune, there were quite a few "stubborn people" among the Snake-Headed Eight Families. In their view, the true emperor of the Snake-Headed Eight Families was only the "shadow emperor" from beginning to end.
Choosing Tachibana Masamune was merely a matter of assessing the situation.
There's a saying that "circumstances make heroes." When the tide is on your side, you can't simply refuse something you want to do.
Erii Uesugi will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Which father could stand by and watch his daughter be kept as a "weapon"?
The problem is that Erii Sugi is also a "relic container" and an indispensable part of the Herzog Project. Even if they wanted to artificially cultivate her again, it would be too late.
A battle between Herzog and Uesugi Koshi is inevitable!
Find Uesugi Kotsugu → Stop the brothers Genjiro and Genjiro from fighting → Forcibly split the Snake Clan → Make Uesugi Kotsugu stand in the open and attract all attention.
Cao Han roughly explained to Fingel the plan he had come up with while choosing to visit Uesugi Kotsugi.
The Snake Clan's attention was all focused on Uesugi Echizen, so they naturally had no time to pay attention to Cao Han.
All that's needed is to delay until I can enter the Takamagahara, the burial ground of the gods, through the Well of Remains.
Fingel felt he needed to get to know Cao Han again.
I originally thought he was just a "brute" type, but now it seems that was just a stereotype. If the enemy had actually believed it, they would probably have died a terrible death!
Thinking of this, Finger felt a surge of relief, thankfully he was on the same side.
"Is there anything else in the plan that requires my help?"
"Have."
"Through fire and water, no matter what!"
"Don't be so serious. Just use your strengths and complete the tasks assigned to us by the Execution Department. Mentor Schneider said that you used to be the ace specialist of the Execution Department."
"what?"
Fingel was still a little confused. "Wasn't that mission just a cover-up?"
"Who told you it was a cover story? Norma will send you the details of the mission later."
"it is good."

Bloodborne Evolution Potion Component Analysis.pdf
Fingel carefully reviewed the two mission files sent by Norma, his expression unconsciously becoming serious.
The "Bloodborne Evolution Potion" was first discovered by an operative from a mission objective.
After some interrogation and investigation, a considerable amount of information was obtained:
① There are different versions of Bloodborne Evolution Potions. The injection is a diluted version with weaker effects. Above that, there is a Bloodborne Evolution Pill that looks like a pill.
②The person selling these items was a middle-aged gentleman who wore an old-fashioned wide-brimmed hat, monocle, and always carried a cane. (After multiple inquiries, it was confirmed that this was the same person.)
③The people who sell Bloodborne evolution drugs come from an organization called "Hybrid Monarch". The leader of the organization is unknown, as are the members.
④……
Later intelligence reports seem more like speculations by the executives and haven't been verified with much substantial evidence; they can only be used as a reference.
The main reason this investigation has progressed to the point of being conducted in Japan is that the Equipment Department discovered, through analysis of the drug's components, that it contained "Shinjaku (Tomorrow's Grass)," a Japanese-made herb.
This plant is mainly distributed in the coastal areas of Japan, such as the Miura Peninsula, the Izu Seven Islands, and Hachijojima.
However, when the investigation along this line reached this point, due to the Japanese branch's duplicitous disobedience to the headquarters' orders, several waves of specialists sent over in recent years had not made much progress.
This time, Cao Han's request to go to Japan happened to be a lucky coincidence.
"This mission... is a bit tricky," Fingel muttered to himself, rubbing his forehead.
If I had to describe it, this task is like a tangled mess; to solve it, I must first find the "thread."
The biggest problem is that he is all alone, and trying to find him in the vast sea of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
If one possessed the overwhelming power of Cao Han, things would be simple; one could simply apply physical pressure to force the entire Serpent Clan to cooperate.
With the help of the "local bigwigs," the difficulty of a mission can be changed from hard mode to easy mode in no time.
Even with a large number of people, some clues can be found, giving him a "thread" to follow in the investigation.
Unfortunately, Fingel did not have that ability.
There are always more solutions than problems, even if they are clumsy. Fingel, having finally grasped a clue, put away his tools, stood up, sighed, and remarked:
"Lucy Pallas was in charge of secretly locating the location."
I was responsible for pretending to conduct the ground investigation.
Cao Han was in charge of the final dragon slaying...
That's great! All three of them have bright futures!
Cao Han rested and recuperated at the hotel in Shinjuku, waiting for his senior's signal, while Fingel picked up his large handbag and left the hotel to go on his investigation mission.
Being with a tough guy like Cao Han means you don't need to worry about your safety, but once you leave Fingel, you need to carry a weapon with you to feel safe.
……
The Tama River is a large river that originates from a mountain 2000 meters high in Yamanashi Prefecture and flows majestically towards Tokyo.
Yamanashi Prefecture is crisscrossed by mountain ranges, including the Akaishi Mountains, known as the Japanese Alps, and Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak.
"This is the fourth stop."
Lucy Pallas, disguised as a traveler, arrived in the town with a heavy suitcase. After pulling down her sunglasses, she could see the mountains in the distance with a slight upward tilt of her eyes.
The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places.
For this exploration trip, she specifically arranged a route from low to high.
However, after entering the town and making some tourist-like observations, Lucy Pallas discovered that this town was not as simple as she thought!
A research institution specifically established to study dormant volcanoes is now drilling wells everywhere, and isn't the perimeter security force a bit too exaggerated?
A woman's sixth sense was telling Lucy Pallas that there was absolutely something wrong with this research institute!
"Crack! Click!"
After taking out her camera, one of the essential traveler's tools, and snapping a few photos in that direction, Lucy Pallas stopped paying much attention.
Once the mission is over, return to Kassel College, pack up these photos, and send them to the Executive Department.
If it's truly worth investigating, the assassins in the execution department will carry out the mission. After it's successful, she'll receive a reward for providing the information. Even if it's worthless, she won't suffer any loss.
While strolling down the street, Lucy Pallas approached a kind-looking elderly woman and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am, where is the best hotel around here?"
The rationale for choosing the best hotel is actually quite simple.
Since hotels need to handle the water usage of so many guests every day, their drainage system naturally needs to be good, so the water storage inlet of the underground drainage system will not be too far away.
She had used the same trick before, so she used it with ease and without any flaws.
As for the temporarily forged identity, it was also with the help of "Norma," so there would be no problem no matter how you investigate.
The whole process went incredibly smoothly. Less than half an hour after entering Yamanashi Prefecture, Lucy Pallas found the massive reservoir by following the route of the drainage system she remembered.
"One-third chance of winning."
"May any god bless me so that this ends soon. If this continues, I'll get claustrophobia sooner or later."
Standing on the edge of the huge reservoir, Lucy Pallas, fully equipped with diving gear and ready to go, took a deep breath, mentally prepared herself, closed her eyes, and completed her dive into the water with a perfect "10" pose.
After falling into the water, she suddenly realized that the situation in Yamanashi Prefecture was much better than before.
Perhaps because it is located in the mountains, the town itself has a small population, so the water consumption is naturally low.
In the water, Lucy Pallas, like a graceful mermaid, undulated her lower limbs as she dived downwards, repeating one sentence over and over in her mind:
"Don't let it hit the bottom! Don't let it hit the bottom! Don't let it hit the bottom!"
If it hits bottom, it only means one thing: this isn't the "node" Cao Han is looking for.
Perhaps her prayers were answered this time, because after about twenty minutes of diving, a flowing crimson color appeared in Lucy Pallas's sight.
Fearing she was hallucinating or seeing things, she excitedly pushed closer.
As the distance closed, Lucy Pallas realized that she wasn't seeing things; what appeared before her was not a splash of crimson, but a river made entirely of crimson mercury.
"This should be the Nibelungen that my junior mentioned in the legend, where Amaterasu laid it down to seal the remains of the White King."
