Chapter 689: Chapter 688, A Huge Sum of Money is Received

Asou Naoshi said, ”Yes, there has indeed been a response from Great Xia. They found Yano Yamato’s corpse, but...”

His face was filled with tension, unable to continue speaking.

Asou Tarou frowned, ”Is it because the price they demand is too high?”

”Yes!” Asou Naoshi said, ”They are asking for five billion US dollars—a ludicrous demand!”

”Five billion... US dollars?”

At that moment, even Asou Tarou’s eyes showed a hint of shock. He had anticipated that the other party might make an outrageous demand, but he hadn’t expected them to ask for such an astronomical amount.

Asou Naoshi said helplessly, ”They seem to have guessed the significance of Yano Yamato to us; otherwise, they wouldn’t demand such a sky-high price.”

”And, other families have also contacted the forces on the Great Xia side. If we can’t come up with the money, they will prioritize cooperating with the other families!”

”Bastards!” Asou Tarou flew into a rage. He hadn’t expected other families to also be eyeing Yano Yamato, even in death.

”Is Yano Yamato’s corpse really in the hands of the Great Xia people?” Asou Tarou asked, restraining the anger in his heart.

Asou Naoshi immediately opened the photo album, which indeed contained the corpse of Yano Yamato.

”At this point, no matter how much it costs, we must obtain Yano Yamato’s corpse,” Asou Tarou said, his face extremely grim.

Yano Yamato was the Asou Family’s only chance to make a comeback.

Missing this opportunity would likely mean the Asou Family would find it very difficult to rise again.

”But we can’t come up with that much money right now!” Asou Naoshi said helplessly. Although the Asou Family was the tenth-ranked financial conglomerate in Wa Country,

they couldn’t afford fifty billion US dollars in liquid assets.

Asou Tarou said in a low voice, ”I’ll contact the Walton Family to borrow some money from them first.”

Asou Tarou still had some friends on the international stage.

For instance, the Walton Family.

This was an international conglomerate with a market value exceeding two hundred billion, so fifty billion meant nothing to them.

However,

this would leave them owing a huge favor.

Asou Tarou immediately called the Walton Family, and the other party generously agreed to lend the Asou Family fifty billion US dollars.

At the same time, Asou Naoshi also called Liu Cheng’an, asking them for a Swiss Bank account number.

Once the fifty billion US dollars were deposited, Liu Cheng’an rushed excitedly to Ye Qingxin’s office and said, ”Miss Ye, you truly are extraordinary. The Asou Family actually agreed to the fifty billion US dollars and has already transferred the money to our overseas account.”

Ye Qingxin smiled charmingly, saying, ”As expected, there’s no need to be so surprised!”

Liu Cheng’an tried to calm his emotions, ”So what do we do now? Do we hand over the corpse to them?”

”Otherwise?” Ye Qingxin retorted, ”We are part of a nation known for its courtesy. Since we’ve received the Asou Family’s money, we must follow through and hand over Yano Yamato’s corpse to them.”

Liu Cheng’an said, ”Alright, I’ll have someone in Wa Country receive them and let them take the corpse away.”

Ye Qingxin called out from outside, ”Jing Yun, come in for a moment!”

”Miss Ye, what are your instructions?” said a young man named Jing Yun as he entered. He was a disciple of the Life-Seeking Sect and, despite his young age, had the cultivation level of a grandmaster.

Ye Qingxin said, ”Follow Sect Leader Liu’s people. Once the Thieves’ Sect passes the corpse to the people from Wa Country, retrieve Yano Yamato’s corpse.”

Pff!

Liu Cheng’an almost spat out a mouthful of blood, ”Miss Ye, is this what you call being part of a nation of courtesy, following through on promises?”

Ye Qingxin gave a wicked smile, ”Did you really think the Asou Family was the only leek in Wa Country? If so, that would be a big mistake!”

------

Night.

The Asou Family.

Everyone was anxiously awaiting a call from Great Xia.

At eight in the evening,

Asou Naoshi’s phone rang. It was a video call.

Upon answering, there was a coffin made of golden nanmu wood, with a middle-aged man bearing corpse spots lying inside.

In addition to that, the coffin was filled with a lot of dry ice to prevent the corpse from decaying.

A middle-aged man in the video appeared inexplicably excited, ”Sir, we have completed the handover with people from Great Xia and are setting off for the airport. The plane will arrive in Tokyo in five hours.”

”Good thing, those Shinapigs kept their word and handed over Yano Yamato’s corpse to us,” Asou Naoshi said with a slight smile.

Not only him, but many were also worried that the other party might not turn over the corpse to them. If they didn’t, the loss would be significant for the Asou Family.

Asou Naoshi continued, ”Be safe on the way. We’ll be waiting for you in Tokyo. You will become heroes of the Asou Family.”

After hanging up the phone, the previously tense and oppressive atmosphere in the Asou Family lightened instantly. Asou No even had two bottles of champagne opened to celebrate in advance.

Not only that, he even called Pingliang Xiangzhi, ”Miss Kaori, I have good news for you. Our Asou Family has found your father’s corpse. In five hours, it will arrive at Tokyo International Airport.”

”I hope, as his daughter, you can go to the airport to welcome your father back.”

”Mr. Yano Yamato would surely want to see you!” With that, he directly hung up the phone, and everyone in the Asou Family raised their glasses to celebrate. They were already seeing the dawn of victory.

Because they believed that once they brought Yano Yamato’s body back, Pingliang Xiangzhi would certainly agree to marry into their family.

Yamato Kendo Hall.

”Yanagida Ryo, didn’t you say earlier that you could use your connections to retrieve the master’s remains? Why was the master’s body found by the Asou Family?” Kameda Komatsu, a middle-aged man, glared at Xu Wendong.

”Exactly, if you didn’t have this ability, you shouldn’t have boasted. We could have used our own connections, but now the master’s body has been found by the Asou Family. What do we do?”

Yamato Kendo Hall was in chaos, and countless people looked at Xu Wendong with anger in their eyes.

In the past, if someone talked to Xu Wendong like that, Pingliang Xiangzhi would have surely defended him.

But now,

she seemed not to hear anything because her mind was completely confused, not knowing how to handle the impending situation.

Xu Wendong was not in a hurry. He calmly stated, ”Perhaps the Asou Family has already found Mr. Yano’s remains, but they haven’t brought it back yet, so there are still many uncertainties.”

”Furthermore, since I have pledged to retrieve Mr. Yano’s remains, I will not break my word. Seven days from now, Mr. Yano’s remains will return to Yamato Kendo Hall.”

”And before that, let’s allow the bullet to fly for a while longer!” He said, with a trace of an eager smile on his face.

The Asou Family believed they had the game in their hands,

but it was Xu Wendong who was the true operator!
