"The loss of dozens of people is already a significant number."
Chen Xinyue said softly, "There must be others injured as well. It seems that the price paid for this attack was not small."
"The losses are indeed considerable."
Lin Jingyu nodded. "The Huo family has already stated that they will handle the compensation themselves, and the Huo family will cover all the medical expenses and compensation for the injured."
"That's more like it."
Peng Shiyu picked up the conversation, "It's a good thing the Huo family has some conscience. If they were stingy, there would be no need to deal with them in the future."
“The Huo family isn’t stupid, and they’re not short of money, so of course they’ll help them handle it.”
Chen Xinyue said, "Besides, you paid a heavy price tonight to protect their family. If they are not willing to spend this little bit of money, who will pay attention to the Huo family in the future?"
With the wisdom of the Huo family patriarch, he certainly wouldn't make such a choice.
"That's a matter for the Huo family."
Lin Jingyu rubbed her forehead. "We've finally resolved the Huo family's crisis. I hope Xiangdu can be peaceful for a while. I'll be returning to the capital in about two months."
"Going back to the capital would take six months to a year if I got busy, and unless there are special circumstances, I won't be able to find the time to come here."
“Sister Jingyu, I’ll go back with you this time.”
Peng Shiyu couldn't help but say, "I haven't been back for two and a half years. If I don't go back soon, my mom is planning to disown me."
"You should all go back to the capital."
Chen Xinyue was also intrigued when she heard the news. "I've been away from Beijing for six or seven years, and I'd like to go back and take a look."
"Sure, come back with us."
Peng Shiyu took her hand and said happily, "Jingyu is staying in the capital. We'll come back together then, so we'll have company."
"Okay, we'll make proper arrangements for the next two months."
Chen Xinyue immediately agreed, "After we arrange our work, we'll go back to Beijing for half a month and then come back."
Peng Shiyu readily agreed, "Okay, let's do it that way."
...
A villa.
A middle-aged man said solemnly, “They’re dead. According to accurate reports, hundreds died yesterday.”
"So powerful?"
Gao Roumei was a little incredulous. "Uncle Takeda, didn't you say that those people couldn't possibly find a large number of guns besides knowing some martial arts?"
How could they possibly have killed hundreds of powerful foreigners?
"So, everyone underestimated them."
Takeda Kuratoshi said in a deep voice, "I thought they would be wiped out this time, but no one expected that the ones wiped out would be the foreigners. This shows that these people are getting stronger and stronger."
"Rou Mei, if you really faced these people, I'm afraid you wouldn't be a match for them."
"No, I want revenge."
Gao Roumei's face showed anger. "Uncle Wutian, Brother Shanxiong was killed by them. How could I not avenge him?"
We can't handle a whole group of them, can't we deal with them one by one?
"Let's clean them one by one, and if we're careful, we should be fine."
Takeda Kuratoshi frowned. "However, these people have connections with local gangs in Xiangdu. Even if we take action, we have to be careful. If we're not careful, they'll target us and we won't be able to develop in Xiangdu."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Gao Roumei sneered, "We've always cooperated with the foreigners. This time, the foreigners suffered heavy losses. With us joining forces with them, they'll probably be laughing in their dreams."
"Foreigners have always been arrogant and look down on our small island nation."
Takeda Kuratoshi's face darkened. "If we really want to get ahead by relying on the foreigners, we'll probably have to pay a heavy price."
These foreigners are all incredibly greedy; they wouldn't even bother with us if we didn't offer them enough benefits.
“We are not afraid of their greed, but we are afraid that they will take the money and do nothing.”
Gao Roumei narrowed her eyes. "As long as they are willing to do things for us for money, what's wrong with us paying them?"
With Uncle Mo Wutian's earning power, how could he possibly fail to satisfy the appetites of these foreigners?
"It's not a big deal, we can just get more stock. Quite a few people die in accidents in Xiangdu every day, adding a few more won't hurt."
“These foreigners are just like us, mainly making money and enjoying life in Hong Kong. They don’t care about the lives of Hong Kong citizens.”
Takeda Kuratoshi sneered, "Otherwise, why would we dare to do this kind of business? We've been short-handed lately, and the buyer has already called to urge me to order the goods."
"Luckily you brought these people; at least we can get some goods delivered in the next few days. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain."
"If that's the case, what are we afraid of?"
Gao Roumei's eyes flashed with ambition and calculation. "I heard that the mainland's top leadership wants to take back control of Xiangdu from the Western royal family. How could these Westerners possibly give back the fat meat they have in their hands?"
They will definitely do everything in their power to suppress people from Xiangdu who want to get closer to the mainland, as well as merchants from the mainland.
The more chaotic things become in the city, the more advantageous it is for us.
We might reap unexpected benefits from this.
Most importantly, we can also use this to avenge Brother Shan Xiong.
"These plans are not impossible."
Takeda Kuratoshi did not object. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Continuing to cooperate with the foreigners is fine. With our limited manpower, we definitely can't control these foreigners."
It would be best to invite a few ninja masters to oversee things. That way, the foreigners will value us and won't treat us like suckers, only thinking about how to profit from us.
"In that case, Uncle Takeda, you should apply to the island and see if you can invite a Chunin Master over."
Gao Roumei also thought about her personal safety. "I heard that there are very powerful Eastern martial arts masters who have settled in Xiangdu. I believe the masters on the island must be interested in these people."
