Black and white

  At sunset, Sakura was practicing sword fighting behind the casino that now seemed like a failed investment. Here, a large area of lush pine trees were planted, with each tree having a distance of three to five meters between them. The ground was empty and the light was bright, making it a good place for sword practice.

  Yi Chen brought Philgol, under the leadership of Gao Cang, into the forest at the same time as Sakura was practicing 'Thousand-Man Slash' with her hands grasping her sword and her eyes focused. Yi Chen stared intently at Sakura's footsteps and movements, only to see that she seemed to be walking casually and effortlessly, her hand holding the sword also slashing left and right in a carefree manner, but the sword light was actually completely covering every corner of the surrounding area within a radius of ten meters.

  The wind gently blew through the forest, Sakura's long hair fluttering, her collar flying, her footsteps becoming increasingly light and agile, the sword in her hand even more nimble. She walked for over a hundred steps in one breath, extremely fast and unparalleled, cutting out thousands of swords. Yī Chén secretly calculated his sword's position, and was shocked to find that there were no blind spots at all, the power of the sword truly creating a murderous tornado.

  Phil and Gore were also connoisseurs, they looked at each other, curled their lips, shook their heads, and were secretly shocked. Although the essence of Sakura's swordsmanship couldn't be seen, from the speed at which Sakura drew her sword and the strange fact that there was no wind sound on the blade, the two knew that if they only compared swordsmanship, they would be directly hacked to death by Sakura in three moves.

  Watching Sakura finish her move, she held the sword in both hands and slowly swung a perfect circle. After letting out a long breath, Yichen lightly applauded and sincerely praised: "Wonderful, wonderful... Mr. Sakura's swordsmanship has broadened my horizons!" Yichen didn't show any modesty, as Sakura's swordsmanship was indeed the most terrifying and beautiful he had ever seen. Cultivators usually have three to five types of fist and foot techniques that are not bad, but what's the use of having a sword technique? Their swords are all flying in the air, stabbing and striking, and it's really not boring enough for anyone to create a sword technique.

  Sakura slowly turned around, smiling and said: "Sorry about that." He had known about Yichun's arrival for a while now, but he was in the middle of a great sword dance, so he didn't want to stop until he finished 'Thousand-Man Slash'.

  Cherry walked over leisurely, smiling and said: "I thought Mr. Yi was busy collecting rent from the Wilsons' house, so I haven't visited for the past two days, which is really impolite. May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Yi?"

  "Ah, just a little gathering, I thought Mr. Sakura might be interested in attending, so I came to extend the invitation on behalf of the host. A person of your stature not attending such a gathering would be a loss for London's high society, wouldn't you say? Are you interested? The attendees are all from noble families or... politicians."

  Her eyebrows rose, revealing a delighted smile: "So, thank you. I'll just take a quick bath and then we can set off, how's that?"

  "Perhaps you should change your clothes, you shouldn't be wearing that warrior attire."

  Sakura looked puzzled. Yī Chén shrugged and smiled: "Maybe I'm overthinking it, do as you please."

  Suit yourself. So, when Sakura followed Yidun to set off, she was still wearing her favorite clothes, maybe attending high-society gatherings required that kind of rigid formal attire, but Sakura didn't think there was anything wrong with her outfit, this dress was also very formal wear.

  On the road, Yidun couldn't help but praise Sakura's swordsmanship, while in his mind he was intensely simulating Sakura's footsteps and sword angles. He was using his brain for two purposes at once, but it wasn't too much of a strain. Every step Sakura took, the coordination of her body and hands, the rhythm of her breathing, were all perfectly simulated by Yidun in his mind. About five minutes later, Sakura's ultimate move "Thousand-Man Slash" had been thoroughly stolen by Yidun.

  Sakura humbly responded to Yichun's praise, smiling and saying: "In my personal view, Japan's swordsmanship is a trend that goes from less to more, and then from more to less. Low-level swordsmen emphasize using force to control the sword, their sword techniques are fierce and have great destructive power, but precisely because of this ferocity, they cannot be considered high-class sword techniques."

  "When they reached the intermediate level of swordsmanship, they had consciously converged their killing intent and began to match the surroundings, unleashing their greatest sword skills. With a floating cloud-like movement, their sword techniques flowed like water, following the momentum, each strike landing precisely on the opponent's weak point. Those lower-level swordsmen, no matter how strong or familiar with their sword movements, would inevitably lose when facing an opponent of this level... In Japan's Edo period, an unnamed great swordsman used my previous 'Thousand-Man Slaughter' technique to take down 127 samurai under a daimyo in a single battle. It's truly a terrifying sword technique."

  Yi Chen nodded lightly.

  Sakura continued, "As for the highest level of swordsmanship, it is when both the person and the sword become one, and the person and the external world also become one. By borrowing the power of heaven and earth to attack the enemy, he becomes the mountain, he becomes the sea. A mid-level swordsman, no matter how fast your footsteps are, no matter how fast your sword speed is, can you split open a mountain? Can you divide a sea? If you cannot, then you will be killed. For a high-level swordsman, someone who uses a flashy sword technique like 'Thousand-Man Slaughter' is not intimidating at all. Although the sword movement may look fancy, one's own sword that has condensed the boundless power of heaven and earth can easily split open both the opponent and their sword... Thinking about it, this is truly a terrifying yet admirable swordsman."

  Gao Cang showed a look of approval on his face, and looked at Sakura with even more respect. Yi Chen, on the other hand, applauded repeatedly and said loudly: "Brilliant, brilliant! I don't know what level of mastery Mr. Sakura has reached in the way of the sword!"

  Sakura said frankly, "This... my swordsmanship may have only reached the peak of a mid-level swordsman. If I can comprehend the principles of heaven and man as one, perhaps I'll become an entry-level top-class swordsman. However, I possess some other techniques that allow me to exert power far surpassing even top-class swordsmen. This is the secret of my school."

  Yi Chen nodded, thinking to himself: "Really? A power that can surpass even the top swordsmen... I wonder who would win if you were to clash with Arthur."

  As they chatted, a convoy of four RVs had already left London. Sakura blinked and curiously asked: "Where are we going?"

  "That guy's own estate, ah, I found that politicians are all rich people. If they don't have money, they won't be on the stage as politicians, right? In the London suburbs, wanting to have such a large piece of land, but it's not just about the money."

  "Ah, wealth and power are actually the same thing. Especially in today's society, having a huge amount of money gives you unimaginable power that others can't match. Of course, with the power in your hands, you also need to know how to use that money to bring yourself even more power."

  Yi Chen nodded and looked at Sakura, saying: "A brilliant insight, you are a..."

  Sakura shook her head lightly: "No, it was the clan leader who told me... I don't think money can bring me any benefits, maybe because I've never lacked it since I was a child."

  Yi Chen smiled: "Perhaps tonight, I will let you understand what money can bring. Look at that."

  Right next to Yi Chen was a black medium-sized suitcase. Sakura laughed: "I saw it just now, I was wondering why you had to carry the $5 million US dollars that I gave you last time with you? Haha, now I understand, are you going to openly use cash to buy people? This is really too bold."

  Yi Chen smiled: "Mr. Sakura, you're a bit too young, so maybe you should learn more about the terms 'thick-skinned and shameless', 'greedy', and 'daring to the extreme'. If you grasp the meaning of these three words, I guarantee you'll be popular in high society immediately."

  Sakura nodded lightly with a hint of understanding, smiling sweetly.

  Phil rolled down the window and stuck his big head out, a group of bodyguards outside looked at Phil and whispered: "Noble guest, let's go." Without checking the three cars following behind, they let them pass directly.

  Sakura looked curiously at the empty space outside the mansion, where hundreds of luxury cars were neatly parked. Sakura nodded: "Our decision is correct, these high-society people will not be stingy with their money to buy our luxury cars."

  Yi Chen added: "As long as they have goods, they won't be stingy with money... Now Europe is implementing protectionism, your goods can't flow in openly."

  Sakura nodded reluctantly and followed Yichun out.

  Just a few steps away, two girls walked out of the huge white three-story building with an area of over 10,000 square meters. Seeing Yi Chen, they hurriedly smiled and came over to greet him, saying: "Yi Chen, ah, it's really strange, where is your Feili? She's not here?"

  "Ah, good evening, ladies. Nice weather today... Feli? Good heavens, she's gone out with someone... I'm left all alone... Ah yes, this is Mr. Sakura from Japan, I'd like to introduce him to your grandfather."

  Yi Chen pointed at the two young girls and said with a smile: "Xiao Na, these two ladies are Master Xiuna's granddaughters, both eighteen years old this year. They're pretty and lively, you'd better work hard!"

  Two little girls stared at Sakura, and gradually, a strange light flashed in their eyes. Sakura's unique dress and beautiful face were simply too attractive to them. Gradually, the two people no longer paid attention to Yichun, and directly stuck to Sakura's side, asking questions one after another. When Sakura was busy responding, they had already walked up the steps and entered the large hall of this building.

  Yi Chen whispered secretly in Sakura's ear: "You see, I told you to change your clothes, but you didn't believe me. Now this is the consequence."

  After finishing the beautiful language, Yī Chén brought Fēi ěr Gōu hastily left Yīng, Yīng was wondering when she found more than a dozen pretty girls with bright faces walking over, asking in unison: "Catherine, who is this gentleman...". These little girls are not bad, the woman's strange intuition directly let them know that Yīng is male, from this point of view, they are much stronger than Chì Kē Fū.

  Gol looked at Sakura, who was sweating profusely on her forehead, and at the stunned-looking Kiba and several special jounin, and said pitifully: "Boss, it's really sad. These women will devour our young friends."

  Yi Chen muttered irresponsibly, "I advised him, if he had listened to me, not to wear such enchanting clothes, where would these troubles be? No good, we should also hurry up and leave, where is that old fellow Lao Na? Damn it, let's go directly to his study." The two middle-aged noblewomen had already seen Yi Chen and were now walking towards him with wine cups in hand. Yi Chen did not want to provoke these widow tigresses, so he hastily went upstairs along the eight-meter-wide grand staircase.

  In the hall, there were already over 200 guests, but it seemed that Sakura had stolen the spotlight. The women were all paying attention to his beautiful and slightly eerie face, while the men were feeling sour in their hearts, yet still trying to put on a gentlemanly appearance, which was really uncomfortable.

  Lazi poked his head out from the railing on the second floor, beckoning to Yichen. Yichen hastily led Filgoer up, with Filgoer carrying a suitcase in his left hand.

  Laze looked at Yidun and his first sentence was: "Yi, you actually gave the benefits to that old man Feike, I really can't stand you."

  Yi Chen smiled silently, without making a sound.

  Lazare also burst out laughing, his thin lips trembling as he said: "However, I can understand. You've always been a cautious person, oh, you don't want to put your investment in one person's hands, this approach I appreciate very much. So you gave me Mr. Off and gave that guy Fick the materials... Tsk tsk, you're really good at playing both sides."

  Yi Chen smiled and asked in a low voice, "How is Mr. Ouf doing?"

  Lazi looked around, speaking in a low voice: "Very good, I'm very satisfied. He took down three small-time reporters by himself, clean and efficient, without leaving any clues... Ah ha, those guys who've been following me are really annoying. This time he tried out his skills a bit, hmm, I'm extremely satisfied. And you understand, only this way can I trust him, right?"

  Yi Chen nodded understandingly and said: "Heavens! You hold off those two countesses in the back, I'll go find Mr. Xiuna."

  "Damn it, these bitches, did their earl husbands die in bed because of this? Why do they always pester you? I've never seen a beautiful woman throw herself at me. Forget it, you go to the study, I'll get rid of them... Of course, if they want to get into my bed, I'd be happy to oblige."

  The two of them smiled a few times, and Razer walked towards the stairs with a smile on his face. Yi Chen led Phil and Goll to continue walking towards the third floor. Yi Chen turned back and saw that the two noblewomen were being pulled down by Razer with unwilling faces. Yi Chen also noticed a small detail - Razer had touched one of the women's buttocks in an extremely ungentlemanly manner.

  Yi Chen suddenly lost his smile and hastily quickened his pace to walk up.

  Outside Mr. Hsun's study, there was a large lounge where more than fifty people were sitting or standing, smoking and drinking, chatting and laughing. Mr. Ouf stood alone in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly outside.

  Yi Chen let Phil go find a seat, himself hurriedly walked up to Ouf, gently patted his shoulder, smiled and said: "Ouf, how have you been feeling lately? Oh, it's been quite some time since we last met."

  Ouf hastily turned around, saw it was Yichun, and a sincere smile hung on his face. The two quickly hugged each other, and Ouf said in a gentle voice: "Yes, I've been very good lately, I've learned a lot of things, really. I never thought that's how it is."

  Yi Chen said in a low voice, "Yes, it's a very simple matter. The so-called political arena is just an original forest, and everyone inside is a wild beast. They look for opportunities, look for gaps exposed by their opponents, and then give them a ruthless blow. Either thoroughly kill the opponent or make them severely injured and unable to fight back... Who is more ruthless, who is more poisonous, who can hold their breath better, whoever that is will be the final winner. Do you understand, Ouf?"

  "Oh my goodness, I could almost think you're the Speaker of the British Parliament, Mr. Yi, really..."

  Yi Chen smiled and bid farewell in a low voice, walking towards the study door. Ao Fu had changed a lot, it could be told from his tone of speech, this was also good, at least Yi Chen thought that Ao Fu and himself couldn't become enemies. Of course, if Ao Fu could become an enemy, then Yi Chen would take him down in the first instance, werewolves were powerless when they hadn't transformed, Yi Chen was very clear about this point.

  Yi Chen gently pushed open the door of the study, walked in, and then quickly closed the door behind him. He sat quietly in the farthest corner. Fick, Ferrara, and several other council members who had business dealings with Yi Chen saw him and revealed happy smiles, then subtly pointed to the person sitting behind the huge desk inside the study.

  Yi Chen nodded at Shu Na, who also returned a smile with deep meaning in his eyes. Shu Na was a tall and sturdy man with broad shoulders, a wide forehead, sharp eyes, and a dignified face - a typical traditional gentleman. His attire was also conservative, orthodox, and impeccable, just like his character.

  Inside the study, apart from dust, there were seventeen people. What was even more fascinating was that they were all members of the opposition party or neutral parties in the parliament, and Xue Na was the most authoritative and influential figure among them. At this moment, everyone was flipping through something, and no one made a sound.

  Lazier quietly opened the door and walked in, pushing it shut behind him. He glanced around the study at the people inside before walking over to Yichen's side and sitting down quietly. Fick smiled at Lazier, who responded with a smile of his own.

  A deep, thick voice sounded: "Gentlemen, everyone is here... Oh, and there are a few gentlemen who don't know this gentleman. This is Mr. Yi Chen Yi. Well, just knowing that he's a friend of mine and several other gentlemen will do."

  These members of parliament may not have seen Yichun before, but they must have heard his name recently. Upon hearing it, they all nodded slightly. A few who were eager to build a relationship with him even threw flirtatious glances at Yichun and revealed charming smiles. Someone like Yichun is truly a treasure; when you don't like someone, Yichun can help you stab them in the back; when you need money, Yichun will give you a large sum of cash. Yichun is really a great guy.

  Hsunah smiled and said in a loud voice, "Everyone has seen the documents in their hands. The Royal Army lost three thousand men, they concealed it; a small fleet of sailors went missing, probably defected to another country, they also concealed it; just a few nights ago, more than 500 soldiers were assassinated, a batch of smuggled military weapons was robbed, such things happened on the territory of the British Empire, and they still concealed them."

  Ferrara puffed on his cigar, adding: "They had originally intended to use the profits from that batch of military supplies to silence the families of those fallen soldiers, but then the military supplies were stolen. Now our Minister of Finance is preparing a special budget bill to pay compensation with secret funds."

  It's easy to get dusty, I didn't expect that by taking advantage of the cheapness, I would snatch away that batch of military supplies, and it would have such a messy background. It seems that I inadvertently helped this group of people again.

  He nodded slightly, his sharp eyes scanning the people in the conference room, and said in a low voice: "We can't give up this opportunity. Seven days later, they will pass a special budget at the Diet in the name of increasing military spending for troops stationed in Iraq. We'll take advantage of this to expose these ugly affairs. I think that if we do it well, we can directly force the cabinet to resign."

  The opposition party's people excitedly discussed, amidst the hustle and bustle, nothing but thinking that this time's matter was well-planned. Meanwhile, three to five neutral party members looked at each other, lowered their heads, and pondered whether they should express something.

  Xuena is a person with an extremely strong desire to manipulate, he doesn't give others the opportunity to express their opinions at all, and directly makes arrangements: "Ferrara is in charge of pulling over several friends from the council, of course, other people should also try to pull more people if they have the chance, especially those from their own camp. Laze, you are our mouthpiece, you need to handle others well, play it safe and don't let them get any wind of what's going on beforehand. Fick, your newspaper can start printing, I want to make sure every citizen in Britain has a copy of the relevant news, got it?"

  The three people nodded in unison, and Shuna smiled: "Of course, according to the constitution, after the collective resignation of the cabinet, there will be an interim cabinet. I think our chances are great, if we work hard, then we will truly become leaders. So, this time's action I do not allow failure, whoever gives me trouble, hum."

  Yi Chen raised his hand, and Xue Na immediately showed a smile: "Mr. Yi, what's your opinion, please speak."

  Yi Chen smiled: "I have nothing to say, your arrangement is very thorough. But I think you know that TV programs are more likely to move the hearts of the people than newspapers."

  Xiu Na burst out laughing: "Of course, of course, how could I forget that? I'm good friends with the presidents of several TV stations, huh? Haha, you're a thoughtful person, Yi."

  Yi Chen smiled: "My friends and I are willing to invest, that is, to provide funds for Mr. Xiuna to broadcast some beneficial information during the more popular time periods... Are you interested?"

  Xiu Na glanced at the neutral party members, revealing an extremely threatening gaze without any disguise. Smiling, he said to Yi Chen: "Of course not, you and your friends? Alright, we accept your kindness, we are friends, aren't we?"

  Yi Chen raised his right index finger: "One condition, and only one condition."

  Fei Ke smiled and said: "Alright, alright, Yi, what conditions do you have? This is too much, we are friends, your requests, we are always happy to satisfy."

  Yi Chen chuckled: "Spokesperson, let Mr. Ouf take over, this is the last thing I did for him, Mr. Laze, you don't object, do you?"

  Razumikhin shook his head. "Opposed? Why? What have I to be opposed for? Mr. Luzhin, Avdotya Romanovna's brother is a fine young man, I think, and you will see him now, you'll be satisfied. He's healthy, tall, handsome, well-bred; he can be said to represent the best type of English gentleman, and he'll captivate many."

  Xu Na raised his right hand: "I absolutely believe in Mr. Yi's recommendation, of course, Mr. Laze is also not wrong, so it's decided like this, the details, I'll have my secretary distribute the action plan to everyone... If there's nothing else, you can all go down and have some fun. Ferrara, Fick, Laze, you stay behind... Yi... hmm?" Yi Chen nodded lightly.

  There's nothing much to say, for Xue Na, those members of parliament didn't dare say anything either, they quickly walked out and took away their subordinates who were resting outside. Phil and Gao didn't need to be invited, they directly pushed the door and walked in.

  Xiu Na smiled and said, "Yi, I know you've come here for a reason. You're a very mindful person, there's no need to bring someone along openly, especially with so many big shot celebrities and entrepreneurs around... Oh, what brings you here?"

  Yi Chen said bluntly: "Oh, Prime Minister Xiuna."

  Xu Na's stern old face hung a big chrysanthemum, laughing with his mouth open, elegantly waving his hand: "No, no, no, Yi, you're too flattering me, it can't be said that way now, it can't be said that way now. You provided such valuable information, you deserve the greatest credit."

  Razer's thin lips twitched nervously, emitting a not very pleasant loud laughter: "Mr. Xiuna, I think the title of Prime Minister is quite suitable for you, in ten days, or maybe fifteen days later, you will definitely become the Prime Minister, this is our common language."

  Xie Na whispered: "So, the three of you will occupy a position in the cabinet. I think I'll arrange a satisfactory position for each of you... Oh, Yi, are you interested?"

  Yi Chen shook his head firmly: "For safety, I will not enter politics. My identity is clear to all of you, and if someone were to grab hold of it, it would bring trouble to all of you. To ensure our interests, I am determined not to enter politics, that's how it is."

  Xiu Na shook her head in admiration: "You're a very astute person, Yi. I'm glad to have a friend like you. Alright, alright, say it, what's up? You've also brought a young man in, I saw him from the window just now."

  Yi Chen smiled: "Yes, kid, a little gift for meeting you, Mr. Gore."

  Gol placed the suitcase on the table in front of Shuna and gently opened the lid.

  Xiu Na glanced at the box full of US dollars and nodded, saying: "A generous gift, but little brother doesn't know that there are four people here."

  Yi Chen knew that Xiu Na was dissatisfied with the amount, but thinking about it, four people sharing five million was indeed a bit too little. Yi Chen smiled and said: "That young man is the person in charge of the Yamaguchi-gumi in London, I think you gentlemen have an impression, what kind of organization the Yamaguchi-gumi is. This is my consideration being inadequate, asking him for less money, they are not stingy, sirs."

  Xu Na's eyes widened: "Oh, you've got a connection with the Japanese? Oh my god, are they going to promote female sumo wrestling in London too? Hahaha, we'll definitely support it, of course, of course."

  Ferrara's three men smiled proudly, but in front of Xiuna, they didn't dare to be too arrogant.

  Yi Chen gently shook his head, leaned in to Xiuna's desk and said in a low voice: "No, not female body shu, that thing is not hygienic, Mr. Xiuna. It's cars, tens of thousands of luxurious, lovely cars... Oh, all black luxurious cars, of course, according to your heart's desire, you can specially customize one golden, silver, sky blue, blood red... Whatever you like... Each car can bring in about 100,000 profit? Hmm? Are you interested?"

  Xuena Zhang opened her mouth, and Ferrari exchanged a quick glance with each other, and said in a low voice to Yicun: "Heavens, you're really good at finding opportunities, coming to us at this time... You know that Japanese cars are hard to enter our market, don't you?"

  "Smuggling, gentlemen, on a grand scale. Just think of it: suppose one of the people present is the Prime Minister of England, another the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the third the Foreign Secretary, plus the head of a powerful department. Your word will bring us untold profits. We only need to take 10% of the profit, and we can buy a lake in Switzerland."

  "Shu Na shook his head and said, 'They are not sincere. Five hundred million US dollars? My God! For the four of us? This is a joke, a real joke. And even if we could really sit in the position you mentioned, our profits would be guaranteed, but we must consider the interests of British industry, we cannot destroy Britain's own automotive industry.'"

  "Most of the cars will be smuggled into mainland Europe, so that's no problem, huh?"

  Four future dignitaries looked at each other and fell into deep thought without a word.

  Yi Chen furrowed his brow: "I'll have the little guy make up 35 million, how about that? That way it adds up to 40 million, okay? But for the first two quarters' profits, the four of you won't take a cut again, to guarantee your costs, okay? It's settled then, I understand. In the future, there will be plenty more cooperation between all of you and me, I won't do anything that harms any of you."

  Xie Na's heavy hand slapped on the stack of cash in the box, muttering: "Alright, 350 million, but tell him to hurry up... The first two quarters? No, for the first two quarters we still need to take a cut, but at most one-third of what we'll split later. If they want to get those cars from us, they must show sincerity, sincerity, got it?"

  "Right, gentlemen," Easy said with a smile, snapping his fingers, "it's settled then. Don't worry about the British motor industry; it's the French, German and Italian car makers who'll be out of luck. Our beloved Empire won't lose anything... and we'll become billionaires, billionaires! I like the sound of that title. It's a thousand times more lovable than my knighthood."

  Xu Na acknowledged Yichen's naked view of money, and a few people looked at each other and laughed. Fei Ke casually pulled out a US dollar bill from the box, lit it with a match, and used the green flame on the bill to light his cigar. Xu Na laughed, took the US dollar bill from Fei Ke's hand, lit his own cigar, took a heavy drag, smiled and said: "The flavor is indeed particularly mellow, everyone try it."

  In the midst of laughter and cheers, four hundred US dollars turned into ashes.

  Yi Chen bid farewell, and when he easily took Sakura out of the group of "gentle" ladies, Sakura was already disheveled, her eyes dull, her face pale with fear, and the upper half of her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

  Including Kōsuke and several other special jōnin who had undergone rigorous training, the appearance of them leaving the Hidden Leaf Village could almost be described with a single word: "fleeing in disarray".

  Sakura sat in the car and wailed: "Great God, what's wrong with these women? They actually asked me what color lace underwear I like... Am I that close to them?" Takakura showed a deeply sympathetic expression beside him, shaking his head and saying: "Young Master Sakura, it seems you're more exhausted than after fighting the strongest opponent... It's really pitiful for you to deal with these crazy women."

  Yi Chen lit a cigar with ease, puffed out a mouthful of smoke and said lightly: "Xing, prepare 350 million US dollars, I'll give it to Hsuna, then..."

  Yi Chen sold a pass, and Sakura and Takamura looked at Yi Chen with strange expressions. Yi Chen smiled and said: "Then our smuggling route will be unimpeded. If my prediction is correct, the future Prime Minister of England will be our greatest protector of interests... Of course, we must be cautious, cautious, understand? Your cars, in the first year, cannot harm British interests too much, understand?"

  "What about after a year?"

  "A year later? They've had a taste of the sweetness, they'll be asking you to increase car shipments on their own initiative. These politicians are all vampires, dear. The code of honor that we underworld figures uphold is absolutely nowhere to be seen in these members of parliament, speakers, and lords."

  Sakura looked at Yidun, shook her head and remained silent.
