Apart from this one minor incident, everything went smoothly and peacefully along the way.

The welcoming band began playing cheerful music, a stark contrast to the insults hurled at them from those around them.

But none of us paid any attention to the cries of the weak; we all walked steadily onto the red carpet in front of the Shikoku Hotel.

After arriving at the suite, Katerina finally spoke, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your trust in our Four Nations Hotel. We will not let you down."

Your safety during your stay at the Shikoku Hotel is absolutely guaranteed, so please rest assured.

After saying that, she turned and left with her people. She wasn't very willing to face me like that.

The guy who brought so much trouble to the entire Phoenix family—if it weren't for the fact that the one who tied the knot must untie it, she would have loved to grab a submachine gun and shoot me.

The fact that she can still talk to me now shows she has a strong mentality. I didn't provoke her further, I just nodded as a greeting.

Looking back at the luxurious suite before me, I had to admit that the Shikoku Hotel was indeed of a much higher standard.

This is far superior to the so-called second largest hotel in Kobe that we just stayed in. Standing with my arm around her waist in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window...

Looking at the flickering firelight outside, he said to Mei Yao, "Get some rest. There might not be many days left for proper rest; more and more troubles are on the horizon."

After saying that, he manipulated the Qi threads and sliced ​​a ninja hanging outside the balcony into five-ounce pieces. I paid no attention to the noise outside.

I took Meiyao to rest. Because I was in a bad mood, I didn't do anything with Meiyao. I just held her and fell asleep.

Although I slept soundly, the situation outside was far from over.

While everyone was busy cleaning up the aftermath of the attack, the heads of various powerful families gathered together to investigate which side was responsible.

Finally, looking at the beneficiaries, everyone unanimously believed it was the Judah clan who had acted, but what could they do?

They had no way to retaliate, so they could only complain to the mastermind behind it all. But the mastermind claimed that it wasn't the Judah clan that was involved, but rather another force.

However, preconceived notions are not so easily eliminated, even with explanations.

However, the Dongyi people believed that the mastermind behind the scenes was biased towards the Judah tribe, and thus the grudge between the two sides was formed.

This is something I didn't expect, but it's also inevitable for these multiple forces to form an alliance, especially for selfish people like them.

After a peaceful night without any further mishaps, the person in charge from Dongyi came to inform us in the morning that...

The road to Gintoki was damaged in yesterday's attack, and it will take several days to repair.

Please ask us to stay at the Shikoku Hotel for a few days. They will notify us when we are able to travel together.

I met him at a restaurant, and while I ate breakfast, I listened to his nonsense. He claimed that I was the one who started the attack yesterday.

How could I not know where it was damaged? The road was destroyed and impassable. Does such a big city only have one road?

But I didn't argue with him. I just silently indicated that I understood and sent him away. The old man immediately came over and asked, "Fourth Young Master, what should we do next?"

I looked at Old Ma and said, "Let's wait and see what these Dongyi people are up to. Tell everyone to be careful and not fall into their trap. If you can avoid going out, then don't. Anyway, all expenses are covered by the Four Kingdoms Hotel."

Old Ma nodded helplessly; he had no better solution.
