"Speak your mind!" Su Yue didn't speak, but the wooden ghost sitting on his shoulder imitated Su Yue's tone and said calmly.
Mokuki's initiative in responding made Yorino Tokukei overjoyed.
As a leader of the overseas Chinese community in Japan, he volunteered to serve under Ryuichi Shiraishi.
He intended to use his excellent eloquence to persuade the lone wolf to let go of the hatred in his heart.
They then voluntarily withdrew, thus averting the threat of annihilation facing the Sakura Kingdom.
He even went so far as to offer Lone Wolf a huge sum of money as compensation in exchange for a better position in front of Ryuichi Shiraishi.
He stared at the man on the city wall and realized that the lone wolf's appearance matched the intelligence from China.
Despite displaying extraordinary strength, "Lone Wolf" maintained an almost silent restraint towards the Chinese.
Unless provoked without cause, they almost never launch an attack.
This emboldened Yoriyuki Tokukei after he learned this.
He led a group of like-minded partners and grew closer together.
Yoriyuki Tokukei knew that their conversation would be broadcast live to every corner of the planet Earth.
He was confident that, in order to maintain his personal image, Lone Wolf would never do anything rash in this situation.
With his years of accumulated political and business experience and wisdom, he firmly believed that as long as he could persuade people with reason, he would definitely be able to achieve great things!
"Lord Lone Wolf is truly righteous! However, in this time of apocalypse, everyone should transcend national boundaries, uphold righteousness, help each other, and weather the storm together..."
Yoriyuki Tokukei was giving a sermon, trying to preach about righteousness to the people of Japan.
The tradition of Japan, known for its cherry blossoms, is that people know small manners but lack greater principles. Isn't this a reflection of history?
This is not a fabrication; it is Sima Guang's evaluation of Japan at that time in his "Zizhi Tongjian" during the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is not unfounded.
However, the wooden ghost bluntly interrupted his clichéd speech, asking in return:
"Is mercury silver? Is a snail a cow? Are the people of Japan human? Isn't your saying such a thing a tremendous insult to the human race?"
Su Yue almost burst out laughing, but he had received professional training and usually wouldn't laugh out loud.
He never expected that during this period, Mu Gui would not only be deeply influenced by him, but would also combine his own accumulated knowledge from thousands of years.
When he opened his mouth at that moment, it was indeed extraordinary, revealing remarkable insights in his words.
After being rebuffed, Yoriyuki Tokukei continued, "Lord Lone Wolf! I know you have deep feelings for your country, but China and the land of cherry blossoms have had diplomatic relations for many years. Both countries have always adhered to the principle of 'good neighborliness and friendship' and worked together to create a peaceful and prosperous future..."
"Stop! Do you think you can be friendly with these beasts? I don't know if you can, but you can go back to China, to the martyrs' cemetery in your hometown, and ask those heroic ancestors if they could be friendly?"
"Even now, Japan still refuses to acknowledge the crimes it committed in the past, still treats war criminals as gods in the Yasukuni Shrine, and even revises history textbooks to cover up all the facts of its aggression!"
Yoriyuki Tokukei's face darkened slightly, but he still smiled lightly and said, "The grudges of a hundred years ago are, after all, dust in the wind. It's the 21st century now; perhaps we should learn to let go and forgive..."
"Let it go? Go back to China, visit the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Massacre, the Museum of Evidence of Crimes Committed by Unit 731, and the Memorial Hall of Mass Graves in Coal Mines. Go down there and ask them if they should let it go?"
"Moreover, whether they can let go or not is their business! Our mission today is to send them to meet the martyrs!"
"The perpetrator never admits his mistakes, yet the victim rushes to forgive him? I have never seen such a shameless person!"
After being fiercely refuted one after another, Yorino Tokukei's face finally turned bright red.
He angrily picked up the chips in his hand—the more than 50,000 Chinese people who were forced to stay in Japan for various reasons.
They attempted to use them as hostages to coerce Su Yue into submission.
If Lone Wolf dares to abandon these people, he will be despised by all the Chinese people!
"Lord Lone Wolf! Please remember this well: this is the land of the Great Sakura Empire!"
"Your insistence on going your own way will plunge more than 50,000 Chinese people here into dire straits!"
These words resonated deeply, striking people's hearts like a heavy hammer blow.
Truly a classic among classics!
In Japan, countless Chinese people are holding their breath in anticipation.
Their fate seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
And this hand is in Su Yue's hand.
"Stop making noise!" Just then, Su Yue finally made his move.
The arrow he fired contained "explosive sparks".
It pierced Yoriyuki Tokukei's mouth with perfect precision, since he couldn't expect to get any ivory out anyway.
In an instant, a jet-black lotus flower bloomed within his body.
Its power was so great that the surrounding crowd was instantly annihilated and turned into nothingness as it was devoured by the sparks.
Only one arrow was left, stuck in the ground.
Su Yue gazed at the battlefield ravaged by his arrows, his eyes cold and resolute.
He spoke calmly, his voice revealing an undeniable resolve:
"Anyone willing to join me in killing these lowly creatures, come to the capital of Sakura Kingdom!"
"The rest of you, good luck! The choice is now in your hands!"
