Chapter 688: Chapter 687, The Real Lion’s Mouth Opens Wide

Xu Wendong was taken aback, "What? The Outer Eight Sects’ annual revenue exceeds 200 billion?"

He knew the Outer Eight Sects’ business covered many areas and certainly made a lot of money, but he hadn’t expected it to exceed 200 billion in a year.

This must be the most profitable company in Great Xia.

After the shock passed, Xu Wendong said, "Although the Outer Eight Sects make a lot of money, if you manipulate things on your end, the profit won’t be any less than their annual revenue!"

"Alright, have someone prepare a fine coffin for Yano Yamato!"

He didn’t like Yano Yamato.

But.

Yano Yamato was, after all, Pingliang Xiangzhi’s father.

Just for that reason alone, he had to give Yano Yamato a dignified end.

Ye Qingxin asked in astonishment, "Yano Yamato and others came to Great Xia to kill you, and now you want to prepare a fine coffin for him?"

"When did you, Xu Wendong, become so broad-minded?"

"Could it be that you’re involved with Yano Yamato’s daughter?"

Xu Wendong was speechless.

It felt like Ye Qingxin had placed a spy by his side.

Otherwise, how would she know about this?

Nonetheless, he said, "Your thoughts are too filthy. The reason I’m doing this is to use Yano Yamato to help us make a fortune."

"If you’re free, check out the news in the Wa Country Warrior Faction, and you’ll know I was right."

"I have things to do, let’s leave it at that." With that, he hung up the phone.

------

Far away in Jingdu, Huaxia, Ye Qingxin went online to check the news on the Wa Country Warrior Faction.

"The Wa Country Warrior Faction is now unified, forming a formidable force. Any family in control of this could solidify and enhance their foundation and strength."

"It could even give some families an unshakable position in the political arena."

"This is a sharp dagger!"

"And the key to controlling this force is Yano Yamato. Whoever has his corpse can coerce Pingliang Xiangzhi."

"As I suspected, there is indeed a woman!"

"And she’s a frail woman with no combat skills."

"How could this woman, from being powerless, transform into the strongest master in the Wa Country Warrior Faction unless Xu Wendong was secretly fueling the change?"

At this point, a look of disdain appeared on Ye Qingxin’s face. She hadn’t expected Xu Wendong to become involved with a woman from the Wa Country while there.

Just then.

The Thieves’ Sect Sect Leader, Liu Cheng’an, walked in, politely saying, "Miss Ye, someone from Wa Country just contacted us at the Thieves’ Sect."

Ye Qingxin casually asked, "Why did they contact you?"

Liu Cheng’an glanced at the corpse on the floor, "They offered a price of one million, wanting us to help find Yano Yamato’s corpse."

A hint of an intriguing smile appeared on Ye Qingxin’s face, "He guessed right; indeed, someone is eyeing Yano Yamato!"

Liu Cheng’an forced a smile, "I didn’t expect the old man’s body to be worth so much!"

"One million, and you say it’s valuable?" Ye Qingxin looked disdainful.

Liu Cheng’an retorted, "It’s just a dead body. Isn’t one million a lot?"

Ye Qingxin casually said, "Tell them we can give them Yano Yamato’s body, but they have to come up with five billion US dollars."

"Five billion US dollars is not..." Liu Cheng’an seemed struck by lightning, suddenly shivering as he looked at Ye Qingxin in shock, trembling as he asked, "How much did you just say?"

Ye Qingxin smiled, "Five billion US dollars."

"No way... Are you teasing me?" Liu Cheng’an clutched his chest with one hand, "Just a dead body, how could it be worth five billion US dollars? Are you sure they would pay that?"

Ye Qingxin shrugged, "This corpse is worth far more than you imagine. If they think the price is too high, just tell them that others are also after the corpse."

Liu Cheng’an instinctively swallowed, took out his phone, took a photo of Yano Yamato, and then left Ye Qingxin’s study.

He asked his disciple for a number, sent Yano Yamato’s photo over, and asked if this was the person they were looking for.

No sooner had the photo been sent than his phone rang, displaying an international number.

"Where are you now? Tell me your location, and I’ll have someone bring the body back along with your reward of one million!" Asou Naoshi spoke fluent Huaxia, his words eager, as if he hadn’t expected such a quick find of Yano Yamato’s body.

Liu Cheng’an, "You can have the body, but our boss said you need to come up with five billion US dollars."

"What? Five billion US dollars?" Asou Naoshi gasped, angrily asking, "Why don’t you just rob us?"

He thought a million Great Xia Coins could buy back Yano Yamato’s body. Even if they wanted to raise the price temporarily, they had a few million more prepared.

As long as it didn’t exceed ten million, they could make the payment immediately.

But.

He never dreamed the other party would ask for five billion US dollars.

This amounted to two-thirds of the Asou Family’s assets!

Liu Cheng’an chuckled, "We could have robbed you, but we still chose to offer you the body. Don’t you think we’re sincere?"

Asou Naoshi cursed furiously, swearing in Japanese.

Liu Cheng’an’s expression turned cold, "Young man, I advise you to watch what you say. If you don’t want the body, that’s fine; several other forces do. Even if you can’t come up with five billion, others certainly can!"

Hearing this, Asou Naoshi’s heart trembled.

As expected, someone else was indeed eyeing Yano Yamato’s body.

If they obtained Yano Yamato’s corpse, Yamato Kendo Hall might fall into others’ hands.

With this thought, he took a deep breath, "Give me half an hour, I’ll give you an answer then!" With that, he hung up and hurried to the second-floor study of the villa.

Knock, knock, knock!

He respectfully knocked on the door, and only after hearing an invitation did he push the door open and enter.

Asou Tarou was sitting in the study reading, but today he was clearly distracted, incapable of focusing.

As the Clan Leader of the Asou Family, he held another status as one of the Imperial Family’s top ten reserve members.

Although he always wanted to become a member, the Asou Family’s influence had long reached a bottleneck, making this step difficult for them.

Similarly, if Asou Tarou could become a member, the Asou Family’s strength would inevitably rise significantly, even potentially becoming one of Wa Country’s top financial conglomerates.

Now, there was an opportunity.

That was to take control of Yamato Kendo Hall. If he could control Yamato Kendo Hall, he could certainly become an Imperial Family member.

Seeing his younger brother, Asou Naoshi, enter, Asou Tarou looked up and couldn’t help but ask, "Did you get an answer from Great Xia?"
