At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Residence in Tokyo.
Several high-ranking officials in power in Nihon rushed over overnight and gathered together. They couldn't hide the nervousness on their faces. Obviously, they were panicking. Originally, they had taken in the Pei family and the others and were waiting for Huaxia to become a joke.
Since Hua Xia had not contacted them, they had thought that they had suffered in silence. In the end, they had sent a plague god over and caused them a headache.
"According to the information we have received, that kid should have the strength of Hua Xia's Martial Sage Realm …" At that moment, an official of the Nihon Country's highest intelligence agency cleared his throat and said.
"If that is the case, doesn't that mean that he can compete with the guardian of Nihon Country?!"
"Prime Minister, we can't swallow this insult!"
"Alright, be quiet. I didn't ask you to come here to talk nonsense."
A middle-aged man sitting in the middle exuded an invisible authority. That was right, this was the Prime Minister of Nihon Country.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?" Those people hurriedly stopped their discussion.
"Since the matter has been exposed, it is necessary to change the plan. Spread the news that we have found the Pei Family. At the same time, contact the people from Hua Xia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and see if we should cooperate with them to escort the Pei Family back." The Prime Minister pondered for a moment and said.
"Yes, Prime Minister, it was not easy for us to get the Pei Family here. We have not obtained the confidential information yet. If we send them back just like that, it will be a waste!" Someone voiced out his doubts and many people secretly nodded their heads.
"Haha, Prime Minister, you are really smart. This is definitely a win-win strategy!"
"What do you mean?"
"Haven't you thought about the stakes in this?
Now that Old Pei's nephew, Pei Yuanyi, is mixed up with Nakamura Ichiro, it will be easy to find them. If this matter spreads from Hua Xia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it will be very disadvantageous to Nihon Country. On the contrary, we took the initiative to spread the news, which means that we have a clear conscience. It was just some low-level officials who were confused! "
"Aha, that makes sense. Since we've put in so much effort, we can't just let them go. We can use this to threaten the Pei Family. There's no need to be nice to them. If they don't come clean, we'll send them back to their country. With the Pei Family's guts, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand such pressure. Once they've completely lost their value, we'll cut all ties with them!"
These officials echoed each other and understood the Prime Minister's thoughts very well.
"That's right, we have to learn to be flexible. We have to consider the price of backing them up. The military power of Huaxia is not to be underestimated. If we send them back, it will be Huaxia that will lose face. Think about Old Man Pei's status. He's already in his position, yet he still escapes. That's enough to make the whole world laugh at him!"
Only then did they realize that the most direct confrontation was not a direct declaration of war, but a contest of tactics.
"That kid is showing off in Red City now. Are we not going to take action?" Although the Prime Minister had made his intentions clear, someone still didn't forget to ask.
"I'll report this matter to the Guardian God. You don't have to worry about it. Even if the Guardian God doesn't take action, with the Emperor in charge, that kid won't be able to show off for long. Just do your job!" The Prime Minister said with slight dissatisfaction.
Since ancient times, the Japanese Emperor had been in charge of warriors and ninjas. The sister of Ryuji Yamamoto, who had been beheaded in Hua Xia, was the Emperor's concubine. However, after the investigation, the Emperor didn't take action. Instead, he endured it. This surprised the higher-ups of Japan. They secretly said that the Emperor was timid and afraid of trouble. The relationship between the Emperor and the Prime Minister had also entered a very stiff state.
Speaking of the Guardian Deity, he was indeed still alive. However, the battle ten years ago had brought him unprecedented damage. He used all kinds of rare heavenly treasures to forcibly extend his life, and then entered a state of closed-door cultivation all year round. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Guardian Deity must not be disturbed, lest it affect his cultivation.
Although he didn't have a good relationship with the Emperor, he had to be thick-skinned and beg for help when it came to national affairs.
While he was comforting his ministers, in the lobby of the Red City Custom Shop …
I sat on the soft sofa and crossed my legs, looking at Pei Yuanyi with interest.
"Your Pei family is quite well-informed. I was just about to summon you for an interrogation, and now you've already run away."
Pei Yuanyi smiled awkwardly. He didn't know what to say.
Then, Ichiro Nakamura winked. Two famous female stars from the Mosquito-Repellent Incense Society came over. They gathered their courage and sat next to me.
From their expressions, it wasn't hard to see that they were in awe. Since they couldn't speak the language, they could only use their ambiguous body movements to show their submission.
For example, they tickled me, acted like a spoiled child, and toasted me. I couldn't take it anymore. The girls I used to see on TV were now sitting next to me. It was a strange feeling that I couldn't describe.
Perhaps Ichiro Nakamura realized that they couldn't speak the language, so he purposely asked the beautiful girl to react. It was a chance for us to communicate.
Since I was skilled and bold, I wasn't afraid that he would call for help. Then, Ms. Fujiko took the initiative to ask me if I had any hobbies or interests, and if I had seen her works …
