Chapter 707: Chapter 706, Trying to Steal the Chicken but Losing the Rice

Koizumi Oda was very angry. He hadn’t expected Noda Fumio to so blatantly favor Fukuda Jiro, but even in anger, he dared not challenge Noda Fumio’s authority.

After all, this was the Prime Minister of Wa Country, and his power far exceeded that of the Emperor.

Just like that.

Koizumi Oda sullenly walked out of the Prime Minister’s Office, accompanied by Fukuda Jiro, who wore a faint smile.

”Koizumi-kun, I know you’re in a foul mood, but what can you do about it?” Fukuda Jiro looked smug, ”Don’t say the Fukuda family didn’t kill your clansmen; even if we did, the Prime Minister wouldn’t punish the Fukuda family.”

Koizumi Oda let out a heavy snort, extremely annoyed, and quickly headed toward the parking lot at the center of the Diet.

He knew that Noda Fumio had a good relationship with the Fukuda family, and with the Fukuda family’s market valuation over thirty billion US dollars, whether for public or private reasons, Noda Fumio would protect them.

After all, the survival of such a Financial Conglomerate with a market value of thirty billion US dollars was directly linked to Wa Country’s financial system. Unless the Fukuda family went bankrupt, Fukuda Jiro couldn’t be brought down at all.

Just as Koizumi Oda sat in his car, he unexpectedly received a text message from the Western World. After reading its content, he was utterly stunned, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

”The Fukuda family actually borrowed two hundred billion US dollars abroad to buy Yano Yamato’s body?”

”Are they crazy?”

Koizumi Oda felt his scalp tingle. Although he confirmed that Fukuda Jiro hadn’t lied, this incident shocked him.

Because the Fukuda family hadn’t obtained Yano Yamato’s body.

In other words, they had been scammed out of two hundred billion US dollars.

Once this matter got out, it would undoubtedly cause a huge stir. No one would be able to save Fukuda Jiro then, not even the Prime Minister.

At that moment, a crazy idea arose in Koizumi Oda’s heart—to tell the Prime Minister about this matter and have him punish Fukuda Jiro severely.

Let him see the massive blunder his man had committed.

But, in the end, he abandoned this idea. If he informed the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister might get angry and scold Fukuda Jiro, but he would also find a way to patch this huge hole.

Two hundred billion US dollars was no small amount, but do not underestimate a Prime Minister’s connections and capabilities. Raising two hundred billion to cover this hole for Fukuda Jiro was not an issue.

Yes, the best solution was to make the matter of Fukuda Jiro borrowing two hundred billion public. This would certainly lead to the Fukuda family’s bankruptcy, and even if the Prime Minister found out, it would be too late.

Thinking this, Koizumi Oda revealed a wry smile, composed a message, and sent it out.

”Clan Leader, something terrible has happened! Some overseas media have uploaded our family’s borrowing issue onto social media!”

Fukuda Jiro had just returned home when the old butler rushed over anxiously.

”What?” Fukuda Jiro’s expression instantly froze, once believing he misheard, unable to believe this had happened.

”You should check the news!” The old butler said anxiously, handing the phone to Fukuda Jiro.

Seeing the IOUs, Fukuda Jiro nearly fainted as he flipped his eyes, knowing full well that if these IOUs went public, the entire Fukuda family would be finished.

The Fukuda family’s stock price would plummet wildly, incapable of repaying those two hundred billion US dollars.

He would become the family’s scapegoat.

As Fukuda Jiro expected, once the IOUs went public, they caused an uproar, with many people wondering what the Fukuda family borrowed money for.

At that moment,

Someone restored the event’s course. The Fukuda family wanted to spend two hundred billion to buy Yano Yamato’s corpse and control the Yamato Kendo Hall, thereby solidifying their status in the court and among secular circles.

Seeing this, many people felt that although two hundred billion US dollars was significant, it was still worth the expense. Everyone understood that once they controlled the Yamato Kendo Hall, the returns would far exceed two hundred billion US dollars.

However, despite spending two hundred billion, the Fukuda family hadn’t obtained Yano Yamato’s body.

Upon learning this, countless people felt their scalps tingle, obviously not expecting the Fukuda family to be scammed out of two hundred billion US dollars. Although their market value was three hundred billion US dollars, two hundred billion was astronomical for them.

Finding out about the incident, the Fukuda family’s stock started a freefall, reaching its limit within an hour, evaporating over two hundred billion US dollars in market value, and many of their industries faced bankruptcy.

Noda Fumio, upon learning of this, cursed out loud. However, cursing was now too late, as the situation had already spiraled out of control.

The only thing he could do then was to abandon Fukuda Jiro, stripping him of his parliamentary status, only in this way could public opinion be calmed.

”I never expected Fukuda Jiro to be willing to spend two hundred billion US dollars to buy Yano Yamato’s corpse!”

The Abe Family.

Ryou Abe knelt in front of a tea tray, wearing a black kimono. A trace of an elegant smile appeared on his cold face.

”This risky move could indeed elevate the Fukuda family’s power, but they underestimated the Huaxia people’s ambitions!”

”Doing business with them is like negotiating with a tiger!”

”Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been scammed out of two hundred billion either!”

Thinking about how Huaxia asked for five hundred billion US dollars, Ryou Abe felt he had an upper hand. ”I not only agreed to your five hundred billion request but will also make you personally escort Yano Yamato’s body to the High Seas.”

Even after the deal, we could double-cross them and have someone take that money back.

He looked at his butler and asked, ”Where are our men now?”

The butler respectfully replied, ”Our men are heading to the High Seas, and in two hours, they’ll reach its edge. Besides that, the Wolfpack Mercenary Group is already waiting at sea, monitoring their every move. Once the transaction is done, they will overpower the escorts with hot weapons and retrieve the check!”

Ryou Abe slightly nodded, speaking earnestly, ”This matter concerns the life and death of my Abe family. With the Fukuda family already scammed by the Great Xia people, we must be extremely vigilant and don’t repeat their mistakes!”

The butler smiled, ”Rest assured, sir. The Wolfpack is ranked first in combat strength among international mercenaries, and they have never failed before.”

”Although the Huaxia people are powerful, as long as the so-called [True Immortal Xu] doesn’t step in personally, the Wolfpack Mercenary Group will definitely triumph!”
