Chapter 690: Chapter 669:

Although the other party had declared their identity, vigilance was still necessary, especially since their aircraft bore the flag of Japan—the bright red sun that sent shivers down one’s spine. Leisure City had no choice but to heighten their alert.

When the aircraft came to a stop on the runway, over ten armed guards immediately rushed up and stationed themselves at the aircraft’s door, their dark gun barrels aimed at the doorway. Liu the Tyrant was the first to step out, his body bristling with weapons, which gave the guards quite a fright.

"Get down, get down!" The guards immediately charged forward.

Having landed safely, Liu the Tyrant had been quite cheerful, but suddenly finding himself at gunpoint by so many guards, he panicked and yelled, "What the fuck, what is going on here, Brother Chen, save me!"

"Get down, hands on your head, don’t move!" the guards shouted immediately.

"Wait!" Ye Chen immediately stepped forward, guessing that if he didn’t appear soon, Liu the Tyrant might be beaten to death by these fellows. As soon as the guards saw Ye Chen, they holstered their guns and respectfully called out, "Clan Leader!"

"Mm!" Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Put away your guns and go back."

"Yes!" The guards immediately nodded, stowed their guns, and turned to leave. The Guard Captain, along with two other guards, stayed behind, and the airport arranged two vehicles to escort Ye Chen and others to the castle.

The small aircraft from Japan refueled at the airport and then returned to its course.

Back in Leisure City, everyone felt much more relaxed. Liu the Tyrant excitedly asked, "Brother Chen, are there any chicks to hang out with in Leisure City?"

"Cut it out, this isn’t some secular place of the mortal world; don’t mess around!" Da Xia snorted coldly.

"Fine, don’t worry!" Liu the Tyrant grinned.

Ye Chen returned to the Clan Leader’s study in the castle to sort out some relevant documents. As for the Eight Hidden Generals, well they were free to roam, so the eight casually strolled out of the castle and down the mountain, planning to have some fun in Leisure City. Liu the Tyrant and Jiang Wei were off to seek amorous adventures, while Feng Zhixiao and others decided to go drinking in a tavern.

The two groups split up and went their separate ways.

Ye Chen sat alone in the study, cross-legged, facing the endless sea, cloaked in darkness, guided only by a dim lighthouse that directed the ships at sea. He pondered the issues between the Church Court and the Rothschild.

The next day, as the sun rose marking a new day, Japan was already anxiously busy over the issues concerning Ye Chen’s group. In front of the Kyoto City’s gates, a large crowd of media reporters had gathered, along with some radical party members wielding banners, demanding government action. At this point, the Japanese Government was absolutely frantic, its worries compounded by various complications.

Miyazaki Yama, perturbed by the press conference he was to hold that day, was at a loss on how to explain things to the public. Yoda had dumped all responsibilities on him, demanding he provide the public with explanations. As the Defense Minister, it seemed indeed his duty to manage the situation.

"What do I do now? What should I do now?" Miyazaki Yama sat in his chair, arms crossed, gazing listlessly at the ceiling.

"Mr. Miyazaki, I have an idea!" His assistant promptly leaned in,

"Let’s hear it!" Miyazaki Yama immediately sat up. He looked excitedly at his assistant and said, "If it’s a good one, you’ll be handsomely rewarded."

"Yes!" The assistant nodded eagerly, then whispered in Miyazaki Yama’s ear.

After hearing his assistant’s suggestion, Miyazaki Yama was stunned and then exclaimed excitedly, "Right, why didn’t I think of that? Ye Chen and his group are probably doomed, they must have been eaten by sharks, otherwise how could there be no bodies? Even their helicopter was found discarded in the sea, so there must have been an accident. We can simply announce their deaths!"

Immediately after, Miyazaki Yama stood up, slapped his assistant on the shoulder, and said, "Well done, Kawashita-kun, I have high hopes for you!"

"Thank you for your recognition, sir!" Kawashita was thrilled, as Miyazaki Yama’s words virtually guaranteed a bright political future for him.

Outside, hundreds of media reporters waited under the rising sun for Miyazaki Yama to speak; they were all baffled by his delay. Everyone waited anxiously, but unfortunately, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Could he not be coming after all?"

"He definitely should be coming!"

Reporters and media personnel were discussing fervently, their faces full of anxiety. Some impatient reporters immediately instructed the cameramen to set up their cameras and decided to broadcast the grand scene live to the audience in front of their TVs.

Just as everyone was bustling about, Miyazaki Yama, accompanied by his assistant and a few officials, came out. They stood on the steps with smiles all over their faces. Before they even spoke, the reporters and media already knew the outcome, but their smiles made Li Ruo and Dian Ling, who were mixed in the crowd, very anxious. Beside them, Lin Xue’er comforted them, saying, "Don’t worry, Ye Chen will definitely survive this great peril!"

"Let’s hope so. Let’s see what the Japanese Defense Minister has to say!" Dian Ling hurriedly squeezed forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I have a piece of good news to announce!" Miyazaki Yama said smilingly as he stood in front of the podium, then he laughed, "Yesterday, the several bandits who caused a disturbance in Tokyo have died in the high seas. The helicopter they were piloting has also been salvaged, but their corpses will forever remain in the ocean. According to humanitarian principles, we attempted to recover them, but in the end, they were buried in the bellies of sharks!"

Hiss...

Everyone involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air, not expecting that Ye Chen and the others had ultimately died. And died so tragically, which caused Li Ruo and Dian Ling’s faces to turn pale with dizziness, both feeling the world spinning around them as if everything had collapsed.

At Leisure City, Ye Chen sat in his study and watched Miyazaki Yama’s speech, a smile appeared on his face. He then picked up his phone beside him and dialed Lin Xue’er’s number. Lin Xue’er was completely baffled—how could someone from Japan be calling her? After she answered the call, she was stunned and exclaimed, "Ye... Ye Chen!"

Li Ruo and Dian Ling seemed to hear Lin Xue’er’s voice. They couldn’t help but turn back to look at Lin Xue’er and anxiously asked, "Xue’er, is it... is it Ye Chen’s call?"

"Yes..." Lin Xue’er was overwhelmed with excitement. Impatiently, Li Ruo snatched the phone and shouted, "Ye Chen, you bastard, is that you? Is it really you? Tell me quickly!"

"Xiao Ruo, it’s me, I’m sorry to have worried you!" Ye Chen took a deep breath, trying hard to control his emotions. He could distinctly feel Li Ruo’s anxiety, her anxiousness, and her worries over the phone.

"I... I’m fine, I’m fine, as long as you are okay!" Upon hearing Ye Chen’s voice, Li Ruo had a thousand things to say, but suddenly didn’t know what to say.

"Baby, come back quickly, I’m waiting for you at home!" Ye Chen said softly with a smile, then added, "Give the phone to Lin Xue’er, I have something to tell her."

"Okay!" Li Ruo hurriedly wiped away her tears, feeling that all the waiting was worth it after hearing Ye Chen’s voice. She handed the phone to Lin Xue’er, then excitedly hugged Dian Ling, exclaiming, "Lingling, Ye Chen is alright, he’s alright, that’s great, that’s great!"

"Really?" Dian Ling was somewhat incredulous. On one hand, there was a statement from a national leader, and on the other hand, she clearly heard Ye Chen’s voice over the phone. This left Dian Ling slightly confused.

Lin Xue’er, also excited, held the phone and said, "Ye... Ye Chen!"

"Do you want to become famous? Do you want the ratings of Jianghuai City TV Station to skyrocket instantly?" Ye Chen threw out two huge incentives as soon as he spoke.

"Of course, of course I do!" Lin Xue’er nodded eagerly.

"Then go tell Miyazaki Yama that Ye Chen is still very much alive!" Ye Chen laughed heartily.

"Really... Can I really do that? Aren’t you scared?" Lin Xue’er was thrilled. She wanted so badly to announce it in front of so many media—if she could announce that Ye Chen was still alive, then surely all the media’s focus would be on her. This would not only make her famous but also bring fame to Jianghuai City TV Station.

"Go ahead, I, Ye Chen, have never been afraid of death!" Ye Chen guffawed.

Lin Xue’er was slightly startled, then immediately pushed through the crowd and walked forward to loudly ask, "Mr. Miyazaki, is Ye Chen truly dead? Are you sure you saw their bodies being eaten by sharks?"

All media’s focus converged on Lin Xue’er as everyone found this sudden question quite novel.

"Confirmed!" Miyazaki Yama nodded.

"But just now, I received a call personally from Mr. Ye Chen himself, and he has asked me to tell you that he is still freely alive!" Lin Xue’er shouted, her cheeks slightly reddened from the slight excitement.
