Shitoku Mai suddenly remembered that on the day the Ghouls attacked Genji Heavy Industries, she and Su Enxi had left the premises with Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Erii. In the dead of night, they had visited Master Uesugi's ramen stall. After discussing Minamoto Wakasei and Minamoto Chimei, Lu Mingfei had stayed behind alone and had a secret conversation with Uesugi Etsu.

But whenever Shitoku Mai asked about the specific details of the deal, Lu Mingfei always kept his mouth tightly shut... Looking at it now, had Lu Mingfei persuaded Uesugi Etsu to take the place of his daughter, Uesugi Erii, and serve as the vessel for Herzog's plan?
"Uesugi Etsu?" Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged glances, their minds instantly conjuring the image of a hot-tempered, boisterous old ramen master brandishing a wire skimmer and a rolling pin.
