Chapter 204: The Arrival of the Homelanders
Walking slowly from the vast and turbulent sea, Ling Yuan took every step steadily and firmly, as if he was not standing on the rolling sea, but on solid and flat land. When he finally stepped on the land of Tokyo Bay, he saw a group of people waiting there from afar - the leaders were the local high-ranking officials of Tokyo, and judging from their clothes, it seemed that some leaders of the chaebols were also waiting there.
Looking at the group of people coming to greet him, Ling Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion: The power and connections of the Water Group are really amazing! Originally, he just asked Madeline to help ensure that his trip to Japan would go smoothly, but he never expected that the other party would arrange for government officials and chaebol leaders to come out and greet him in person.
Among the group of people welcoming him in the distance, an old man with white hair and beard and a skinny body stood out. He stood quietly beside a man in his forties, staring at Ling Yuan who was approaching step by step with a sharp gaze.
"Yuan Zhihui, is this the person sent over there to help investigate that incident?" The old man stared at Ling Yuan who was getting closer and closer, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "What a grand show! He actually dared to cross the sea directly. I thought he would be a ruthless character like 'Homelander'!"
"Ichiro Watanabe, listen carefully. The person standing in front of you is not an ordinary person, but a rare distinguished guest of ours, and he is also a very powerful man. When you negotiate with him later, I hope you'd better control your temper and don't cause trouble for me. Otherwise, if he really gets angry and wants to kill you to silence you, I'm afraid even we can't save you!" Yuan Zhihui glanced at the skinny old man expressionlessly, and said in a calm and unruffled tone.
When Watanabe Ichiro heard this, he just casually glanced at Yuan Zhihui, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes. In his eyes, Ling Yuan had no right and dared not to attack him on this territory. After all, in his eyes, Ling Yuan was just a loyal lackey of the Water Group, and he was completely unworthy of his respect and attention.
Looking at Yuan Zhihui's back as he took the initiative to greet Ling Yuan, Watanabe Ichiro couldn't help but think secretly in his heart: Humph, if it weren't for the huge power behind Yuan Zhihui, how could a mere boy become the person in charge in Tokyo?
Yuan Zhihui knew what Watanabe Ichiro was up to. He sneered in his heart and was already furious with the old man. You know, he was the person in charge of Kyoto secretly supported by the Water Group, but these old guys were always dissatisfied and kept making trouble for him!
Yuan Zhihui has always had a special liking for Chinese culture, even to the point of obsession. In order to promote exchanges and cooperation with China, he spared no effort in promoting numerous trades with China in Kyoto and formulated a series of relevant customs policies. These measures all revealed friendship and goodwill, but caused great dissatisfaction among the conservatives.
Now that Ling Yuan had come to visit him personally, this undoubtedly gave Yuan Zhihui a great opportunity to show those self-righteous old guys their true strength. How could Yuan Zhihui possibly offend Ling Yuan as they wished? On the contrary, he decided to make good use of this opportunity to show Ling Yuan his sincerity and ability.
So, he walked towards Ling Yuan with a bright smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, nice to meet you! I am the person who came here specially to greet you, and I am also the person in charge of our Kyoto area. My name is Yuan Zhihui!" His words revealed full sincerity and kindness.
Ling Yuan was full of surprise and couldn't help but look at Yuan Zhihui twice. You know, Yuan Zhihui just said all the words in authentic Chinese, and his fluency was not awkward at all. It can be imagined that this friend from Japan must have a strong interest in Chinese culture and understand it quite well.
In view of this, Ling Yuan's favorability towards Yuan Zhihui instantly increased a lot, so he took the initiative to extend his right hand and shook hands with the other party in a friendly and cordial manner. Then, Ling Yuan moved his eyes away from Yuan Zhihui and swept across the group of officials and chaebols who were still standing there without any intention of moving forward. Especially when he saw the old man in the front who was skinny and had a very gloomy face, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I've heard a lot about you! I'm the person who is in charge of investigating the abnormal situation in your country. My last name is Ling Yuan..." Ling Yuan first introduced himself to Yuan Zhihui with a smile, then lowered his voice and whispered in Yuan Zhihui's ear: "From what I see, these officials don't seem to buy your story!"
Yuan Zhihui's originally calm face suddenly flashed a strange look, but soon returned to normal, and he turned his head abruptly and scanned the group of officials and chaebols with a cold look. His sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, revealed a chilling chill.
Faced with such a sharp gaze from Yuan Zhihui, some officials and chaebols belonging to Watanabe Ichiro's faction remained unresponsive and calm; while others seemed a little panicked and hurried forward.
At this time, a group of officials headed by Yuan Zhihui stood behind him respectfully. At the same time, a woman in her thirties walked out from the chaebol camp. She was wearing an exquisite and decent professional suit, with a graceful figure and a strong aura. Her majesty was no less than Yuan Zhihui.
The woman walked up to him gracefully, bowed slightly, extended her right hand and said politely, "Hello! I am the current head of the Use family from Kyoto, Use Ezuka. Thank you for your guidance."
Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Use Ezuka's Chinese was also very good. It seemed that she belonged to a chaebol family like Yuan Zhihui. Ling Yuan was relatively friendly to those who were willing to communicate with China. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Use Ezuka.
At this time, Watanabe Ichiro, who had not come over, said loudly: "He is just a loyal dog of the Water Group. Why make such a big fuss? To put it bluntly, he is just a good-for-nothing Chinese. Is the Water Group stupid? They chose such a Chinese to come to our territory to investigate!"
Yuan Zhihui's face suddenly changed. Watanabe Ichiro's words had offended Ling Yuan to death. He still remembered Ling Yuan's terrifying strength in the circulated video. If Ling Yuan held a grudge against them as well, it would be a loss.
Ling Yuan looked calm, not seeming to be angry at Watanabe Ichiro's insulting words, and smiled as he patted Yuan Zhihui on the shoulder. Yuan Zhihui's body trembled, and he looked at the smiling Ling Yuan in shock, somewhat afraid that Ling Yuan would use him as an example to scare others.
Before Ling Yuan could make any move, two lasers fell from the sky and instantly pierced Watanabe Ichiro's chest. Watanabe Ichiro looked in disbelief and slowly fell down.
Then, a native with an American flag-shaped cloak on his back descended from the sky and glanced coldly at the officials around Watanabe Ichiro. He did not miss a word of Watanabe Ichiro's words just now, and anger rose in his heart.
