Chapter 240 - 240 225 Stealing National Fortune_2

240: Chapter 225: Stealing National Fortune_2 240: Chapter 225: Stealing National Fortune_2 And according to the arrangement within the Formation, the area that this transportation array formation could cover was as vast as an entire Island Country.

And the subject of transference was obviously none other than the Kitahara aristocratic family—there could be no other possibility.

Lu Chuan was stupefied and muttered, “Kitahara Sousuke wants to absorb the entire Island Country’s luck to strengthen the Kitahara family?

Has he become the first in the Island Country by relying on this formation?”

A strong shock surged in his heart, making his scalp tingle.

He had not expected that Kitahara Sousuke, a mere Level 9 of Transcendent Realm, would harbor such grand ambition!

It must be known that the method of transferring luck is defined as a forbidden technique within the Cultivation World because luck is something that has its own destiny, and using formations to strengthen one’s own luck would surely weaken someone else’s.

If the Kitahara family became the strongest clan in the Island Country by relying on this kind of transportation array formation, then countless ordinary people must have suffered, with their luck being absorbed, leading to the ruin of households and people being left homeless.

This kind of formation involved harming others to achieve one’s own success, which is why it was defined as a forbidden technique.

“No wonder this place is filled with dragon veins and Primal Chaos Qi.

The Kitahara family’s lineage has survived to this day, probably at the cost of innumerable innocent lives!”

“If this malignant tumor is not removed, the future consequences could be unimaginable.”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, and the intent to eliminate Kitahara Sousuke grew even stronger in his mind.

Without hesitating, he quickly released his Divine Sense, attempting to break the barrier of the formation.

As long as he could take the dragon vein and Primal Chaos Qi away, the formation would naturally collapse.

However, after a long time, the barrier showed no sign of change.

“Kitahara Sousuke has linked this formation to himself.

To break the barrier, I must use his blood essence—what a cautious old fox!”

Lu Chuan cursed and realized that now he had to kill Kitahara Sousuke first, bring back the old man’s blood essence, break the barrier, and then he could take the dragon vein and Primal Chaos Qi away.

Without hesitation, he immediately left the room and approached Suzumiya Setsuna, “This formation is too profound.

I must kill Kitahara Sousuke before I can take the things from here.”

“I’ll take you to a safe place first.”

After speaking, Lu Chuan led Suzumiya Setsuna out of there.

…

In the courtyard,

Kitahara Sousuke was receiving compliments from the crowd.

Zhong Ling’er followed Kishimoto Haruko and grumbled, “Hmph, he’s just a doddering old man.

His strength isn’t even as formidable as my grandfather’s, but these people are almost praising him to the heavens like he’s a god.

They really haven’t seen the world.”

Kishimoto Haruko smiled and said, “Compared to your Cathayan powerhouses, of course, he can’t match up.

But here in the Island Country, he is the most formidable, so everyone respects him a lot.”

At that moment, Kitahara Sousuke suddenly cast a glance their way.

As soon as he saw Kishimoto Haruko and Zhong Ling’er’s faces, Kitahara Sousuke’s eyes lit up, and then he walked straight towards them.

“May I know which family’s daughters you two are, so beautiful and yet I have not seen you in the Island Country,” Kitahara Sousuke said with a smile.

Hearing this, Kishimoto Naoki quickly introduced, “Mr.

Kitahara, this is my granddaughter, Kishimoto Haruko, and her friend, Miss Ling’er, from Cathay.”

Kitahara Sousuke glanced at Kishimoto Naoki and said with a smile, “No wonder I haven’t seen her before, it turns out she’s your granddaughter, Naoki.

You’ve made a fortune doing business in Cathay over the years, haven’t you considered bringing the money back to our Island Country?”

Kishimoto Naoki responded with an awkward smile, “I haven’t thought about that for the time being.”

Zhong Ling’er breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just seen Kishimoto Naoki walking this way and feared that the old man had heard her bad-mouthing him.

She quietly moved closer to Kishimoto Haruko and whispered, “Sister Haruko, this guy is leering at us, he’s really sleazy.”

Kishimoto Haruko nodded and whispered back, “He’s powerful and has a significant status, it would be wise for us to speak less of such things.”

At that moment, a man with a prominent forehead and square chin glanced at Kishimoto Naoki and sneered, “Naoki, you’ve been doing business in Cathay for years; we thought you were turning into a Cathayan.

You know, Mr.

Kitahara dislikes unpatriotic people the most.

You should state your position quickly.

I think you could marry your granddaughter off to Mr.

Kitahara as a concubine; that might dispel his doubts about you.”

Kishimoto Naoki’s face changed, and he quickly said, “Mr.

Okamoto must be joking, Mr.

Kitahara wouldn’t be interested in my granddaughter.”

But Kitahara Sousuke laughed and said, “Who says?

I actually find your granddaughter very much to my liking.”

Kishimoto Haruko’s face turned pale instantly, never having imagined that Kitahara Sousuke would set his sights on her.

Kitahara Sousuke then glanced at Zhong Ling’er and said, “Not just your granddaughter, I like this young lady as well.

Today is my sixtieth birthday; why don’t you give them both to me as gifts?

That way, I can ensure that the Kishimoto family will still have a place in the Island Country.

How about it?”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling’er’s eyes widened, and she couldn’t help but say, “You shameless old man, I don’t want to be your gift!”

Suddenly, more than a dozen murderous gazes were cast their way.

Seeing this, Kishimoto Naoki quickly shielded Zhong Ling’er and Kishimoto Haruko behind him, his forehead covered in cold sweat as he looked at Kitahara Sousuke, “Mr.

Kitahara, she’s young and doesn’t understand.

Please, don’t take it to heart.”

“My granddaughter already has someone she cares for, so I really can’t meet your request, Mr.

Kitahara.

As for Miss Ling’er, she has a noble status in Cathay.

If anything were to happen to her, I simply couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Please spare me, Mr.

Kitahara.”

Kitahara Sousuke immediately snorted coldly, “What, you think I’m unworthy of marrying a Cathayan woman as a concubine?

Do you degrade your own people and exalt the Cathayans that much?”

Kishimoto Naoki’s sweat kept flowing, “That’s not what I meant…”

“What do you mean if not that?

No matter how noble this Cathayan girl’s stature, once she’s in our Island Country, she has to listen to Mr.

Kitahara.

If he wants the Cathayan girl to be his concubine, then she must become one!” the man with the square jaw and prominent forehead forcefully said.

Kishimoto Naoki deeply regretted attending this birthday banquet.

He hadn’t thought that simply doing business abroad would lead to such hostility from the people of this Island Country.

Had he known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have brought Kishimoto Haruko back.

Kitahara Sousuke glanced at Kishimoto Haruko and Zhong Ling’er and said coldly, “Someone, take these two away and have them wait with Setsuna.

Once the birthday banquet is over, I shall thoroughly enjoy myself!”

“Mr.

Kitahara!” Kishimoto Naoki cried out in panic, almost kneeling down to beg for mercy on the spot.

Kitahara Sousuke stared at Kishimoto Naoki with a fierce aura that pressured Kishimoto Naoki into freezing on the spot, not daring to move an inch.

“I’m giving you face by leaving them with you; don’t be ungrateful!”

A few people came over to take Zhong Ling’er and Kishimoto Haruko away.

Both Kishimoto Haruko and Zhong Ling’er were clearly frightened.

Just then, a powerful aura appeared, directly quelling those who were about to take Zhong Ling’er and Kishimoto Haruko.

“So-called ‘number one of the Island Country’ is such a shameless and lowlife scum, aren’t you embarrassed by your own behavior?”
