232: Chapter 220 Arrival in Island Country_1 232: Chapter 220 Arrival in Island Country_1 “A joke?

This damn Island Country guy has no shame at all, saying it was just a joke after losing.

He really can’t handle defeat!”

“Exactly, fair and square, he was the one who wanted to bet.

Now he doesn’t honor the wager; how did such a completely untrustworthy guy become an internationally renowned doctor?”

“A spineless fellow—how can patients dare to entrust their lives to him?

I have to record this and post it online for everyone to see what this guy is really like!”

…

The onlookers who were watching the commotion were filled with indignant anger as they saw Sato Hidenaka welching.

Listening to the comments around him, Sato Hidenaka’s face filled with guilt, but he still had the thick skin to say, “It was just a small joke.

Why are you getting so worked up?

Are you saying that I can’t accept a loss, or is it that you can’t accept a joke?

Nitpicking Cathayans!”

Even Kishimoto Haruko found it unbearable to watch and came over to say, “Dr.

Sato, how can you accuse them of nitpicking?

To admit defeat graciously is a noble quality, and by acting like this, you’re only bringing shame to our Island Country.”

Sato Hidenaka was furious and said, “Kneeling down in front of so many people would be the real shame to the Island Country!

I’m an internationally known physician.

Today I’m not going to fulfill the bet, and I’d like to see who can do anything about it!”

Lu Chuan approached Sato Hidenaka and said, “In Cathay, there is an old saying, ‘The deities are three feet above your head.’ If you default on your bet, you may be punished by the deities.”

Sato Hidenaka sneered, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?

Only a fool would believe such nonsense!”

“Is that so?” Lu Chuan glanced at Sato Hidenaka, releasing strands of mysterious power from his Divine Sense, which drilled into his forehead.

Sato Hidenaka stiffened, then saw a demon god with a height of a hundred meters, three heads and six arms, and a fierce green face appear behind Lu Chuan.

This demon god held various terrifying weapons and looked down on him as if he was a mere ant.

The mere presence of the demon was enough to make his legs tremble uncontrollably.

“This…

how is this possible!”

Lu Chuan stepped forward and commanded, “Are you sure you won’t fulfill the bet?”

The demon god pointed a longsword at Sato Hidenaka.

Sato Hidenaka fell to his knees with a ‘plop,’ his voice trembling, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”

“I apologize.

I shouldn’t have looked down on Cathayan medicine.

It was my arrogance and conceit.

I am sorry to Cathayan traditional medicine.

I know I was wrong, and I beg everyone’s forgiveness!”

Having said that, he began to kowtow on the ground.

The people around were all surprised and didn’t understand how the intimidating Sato Hidenaka had suddenly become so cowardly.

The demon god behind Lu Chuan could only be seen by Sato Hidenaka; it was an illusion created by Lu Chuan using his Divine Sense.

“Ew, what’s that smell of urine?

Disgusting.”

“Look, Sato Hidenaka wet his pants, oh man, this is too funny.”

“This guy must have really seen the deities, otherwise why would he be so terrified.”

“After all, the saying ‘The deities are three feet above your head’ has been passed down for so long for a reason.

Maybe it was really a Cathayan deity that showed up and taught this guy a lesson, making him kneel down and apologize.”

“Quick, someone record this; it’s definitely going to hit the headlines today!”

…

Before long, airport staff arrived and took Sato Hidenaka away on the pretext of environmental pollution and cleaned up the soiled ground.

Zhong Ling’er approached Lu Chuan, looking at him in amazement, “I didn’t realize you were so powerful.

I underestimated you before.”

Lu Chuan glanced at her and said, “There’s a lot more about me that’s impressive, it’s just that I don’t show off lightly.”

“Tch,” Zhong Ling’er huffed, “Give you a few compliments, and you’re over the moon.

Such an egomaniac!”

Although she said this, her opinion of Lu Chuan had indeed started to change.

At this moment, Kishimoto Haruko, supporting Kishimoto Naoki, came over.

“Sir, I haven’t had the chance to ask your name,” Kishimoto Haruko inquired.

“Lu Chuan.”

Kishimoto Haruko immediately bowed respectfully to Lu Chuan, “Mr.

Lu Chuan, I must thank you again.

Without your generous help, my grandfather’s life would have been in great peril today.”

Lu Chuan smiled and replied, “In Cathay, we also have an old saying, ‘Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda,’ I’m also doing this to accumulate virtue for myself.”

Zhong Ling’er muttered under her breath, “What a hypocrite, so polite to a pretty lady.

How come you never treat me that way?

Men are indeed creatures that think with their lower half.”

Kishimoto Naoki also thanked Lu Chuan and then asked, “Young brother Lu Chuan, I believe we are on the same flight.

What class tickets did you buy?”

Lu Chuan answered, “Economy class.”

Zhong Ling’er widened her eyes, “You’re taking me out and you’re putting me in economy class?”

“What’s wrong with economy class?

Thrift and frugality are Cathay’s traditional virtues.”

Zhong Ling’er’s face flushed with anger, “This is my first time hearing someone describe being broke in such a refined way!”

Lu Chuan showed a hint of embarrassment and responded, “Your grandfather hasn’t paid me a salary, so buying you an economy class ticket is already quite good.”

Kishimoto Naoki smiled and said, “I’ve booked the entire first class cabin.

When we board the plane, please join us.”

…

The plane took off.

In the first-class cabin.

Lu Chuan, enjoying the opulence of the first-class cabin, was full of emotion.

Although he was not short on wealth now, this was indeed his first time flying in first class.

Zhong Ling’er stared at Lu Chuan with a look of resentment, apparently dissatisfied with Lu Chuan for only buying her an economy class ticket.

After the conversation just now, Lu Chuan had learned that Kishimoto Naoki and Kishimoto Haruko were merchants who settled in Cathay year-round, conducting their business there and treating it as their second homeland.

They had returned to the Island Country this time to attend Kitahara Sousuke’s sixtieth birthday celebration, at his invitation.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Chuan’s eyes brightened, and he quickly said, “Mr.

Naoki, to be honest, I’ve always been quite interested in this Kitahara Sousuke.

I wonder if it would be possible for you to take us with you to attend Kitahara Sousuke’s birthday party?”

He had been worried about how to make contact with Kitahara Sousuke once he arrived in the Island Country, and he hadn’t expected the opportunity to arise so soon.

“It seems good deeds do get rewarded after all.

I should really do more of them in the future.”

Kishimoto Naoki was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but he didn’t think much of it.

Kitahara Sousuke was very famous, and many people were interested in him.

There would be a lot of people attending his birthday celebration out of admiration, so bringing along Lu Chuan and Zhong Ling’er wouldn’t be a problem.

“Of course, you both can come.

Once you’re in the Island Country, you can stay at our home first.

Kitahara Sousuke’s birthday celebration will be in a week.

During that time, Haruko can take you two around the Island Country,” Kishimoto Naoki said smilingly.

Lu Chuan quickly bowed his hands, “Then thank you very much, Mr.

Naoki.”

Zhong Ling’er, who was beside him, teased, “You’re really too stingy, not even willing to spend on a first-class ticket, and now you’re going to mooch off someone’s food and drink.

Following you is just too embarrassing!”

Lu Chuan glared at her and said, “We agreed that you’d follow my arrangements for this trip to the Island Country.

If you have any objections, I won’t find the antidote for the Peach Blossom Brew for Qingci.”

Though Zhong Ling’er was displeased, she had to endure it for the sake of helping Han Qingci recover, so she huffed, “Humph!”

Kishimoto Haruko sized up Lu Chuan and Zhong Ling’er and asked, “Mr.

Lu, are you and Miss Ling’er a couple?”

Before Lu Chuan could speak, Zhong Ling’er quickly stated, “How could I possibly be in a relationship with him?

There’s no way in this life I’d like a dirty and smelly man like him!”

Kishimoto Haruko looked puzzled and said, “But I think Mr.

Lu seems quite nice…”

Lu Chuan explained, “She just simply dislikes men.

Don’t mind her.”

Kishimoto Haruko didn’t understand but after confirming that Lu Chuan and Zhong Ling’er were not a couple, she showed an expectant smile on her face.

The plane arrived in the Island Country.

A car was waiting at the airport exit to pick up Kishimoto Naoki and Kishimoto Haruko.

Naturally, Lu Chuan and Zhong Ling’er also got into the car with them.

As he looked out the window, Lu Chuan felt the spiritual energy around him and was surprised to discover that the concentration of Spiritual Energy here was several times thinner than in Cathay.

It’s no wonder that the strongest person in the Island Country was only at Transcendent Realm Level 9.

In such a land deprived of spiritual energy, it would be odd if a Profound Realm skillful expert were to emerge.

Simultaneously, Lu Chuan sensed a trace of evil in the air of the Island Country.

This scent was extremely hidden, and if it weren’t for his keen Divine Sense, he might have failed to detect the presence of this evil at all.

“Could it be that there is some powerful Dark presence in the Island Country, capable of spreading its evil essence throughout the entire land?

Such a being must undoubtedly be strong.”

“Is this perhaps the ninth calamity that Zhong Ling’er will face?”

He turned his head and glanced at Zhong Ling’er.

Zhong Ling’er immediately turned her head away haughtily, ignoring Lu Chuan.

This time, Lu Chuan actually felt a bit of sympathy for Zhong Ling’er.

This girl had faced various calamities since birth, each one nearly costing her life, truly a person of misfortune.

Before long, the driver drove the car into a large estate with Island Country style.

Kishimoto Haruko arranged rooms for Lu Chuan and Zhong Ling’er.

Afterward, she went to Kishimoto Naoki’s room and knelt before him.

“Grandfather, what do you think of Lu Chuan?”

Kishimoto Naoki glanced at Kishimoto Haruko and asked, “Do you want him to lift the curse on you?”

Kishimoto Haruko’s eyes were sincere, and she nodded, “Although I’ve only known him for a day, from our interactions today, he seems to be a man of integrity, high moral character, and kindly disposition.

Moreover, he saved your life, grandfather.

Haruko…

Haruko is willing to give him my virginity as a way to repay his kindness.”

Kishimoto Naoki sighed and said, “Since you feel this way, I won’t stop you.

However, remember that with that curse on you, once you give away your virginity, there will be no turning back.”

Kishimoto Haruko’s face was resolute, “Haruko understands!”

…

In a certain volcano of the Island Country.

Within a dark and gloomy cave.

A figure sat cross-legged on a stone, surrounded by thick, black mist like ink.

From within the mist emanated a terrifying and evil aura that caused one’s heart to shudder.

In a corner next to the cave, a pile of skulls heaped up, with numerous rats scurrying through them, creating a particularly eerie scene.

Suddenly, the figure sitting in the midst of the evil black fog opened his eyes and spoke with a raspy and excited voice, “They have arrived!

The one I’ve been waiting for has finally come!”

“Darkness Agent!”

“At your service!” A figure wrapped in black cloth strips appeared within the cave.

The person within the black mist flicked a finger, and an image appeared on the wall.

It was the scene of Zhong Ling’er walking out of the airport.

“Go find this girl and bring her to me,” the person ordered.

“She has an immense power within her.

If I can harvest that power, I will be able to break the seal here completely and regain my freedom.”

“At last, I will see the light of day again!”

The Darkness Agent immediately knelt and clenched his fist, exclaiming, “Congratulations, ancient one, my felicitations!”

“I shall capture this person at once!”
