Fukuda Misa was completely numb.
Five thousand small goals.
Where did she get so much money?
Even the Fukuda family's total assets are probably only in the trillions.
In terms of cash alone, let alone 500 billion, I'm afraid I might not even be able to come up with 300 billion all at once.
However, Fukuda Misa was not one to be easily manipulated. She coldly replied, "My personal assets total 50 billion yen, and that's the most I can offer! If you don't agree, do whatever you want with me! Yamamoto is just my servant; you can kill or torture him as you please!"
Yamamoto alone is not worth 50 billion.
She was simply worried that if this scoundrel made the matter public, it would indeed damage the royal family's reputation. Moreover, this was Great Xia; if Yamamoto couldn't hold back and implicated himself, she would also bear the legal responsibility of Great Xia.
She's willing to pay 50 billion, which, frankly, means she wants to settle this matter.
Furthermore, the Dragon-Subduing Wood has already been obtained, and the Emperor will surely reward us handsomely upon our return. Compared to that, the 50 billion is nothing.
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly. He knew that the other party definitely couldn't come up with 500 billion.
Exchanging a fake Dragon-Subduing Wood for 50 billion isn't a bad deal. With this 50 billion, there will be no more worries about building the pharmaceutical factory.
"Fine! Five hundred billion it is. Transfer the funds to the charity hospital's account and I'll release them immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Fukuda Misa immediately began mobilizing funds.
Soon, Su Yingxue received notification that 50 billion had been deposited into her account.
Upon seeing this number, Su Yingxue was completely stunned.
Knowing that Lin Yu must have extorted money from someone again, he quickly called Lin Yu back.
Lin Yu, true to his word, immediately released Yamamoto after learning that the money had arrived in his account.
Soon, Yamamoto returned to the Ryusei Hotel.
In the presidential suite, he knelt before Fukuda Misa, bowing his head and saying, "Your Highness! It was my fault for failing in my duties! Please punish me!"
Fukuda Misa waved her hand, "Forget it! Money is just an external thing. Fortunately, you got the Dragon-Subduing Wood onto the plane before they arrived!"
Fukuda Misa narrowed her eyes, staring at the eerie array before her, and sneered, "When the main array is activated tomorrow, it will be the time to draw the Qi eastward, and the fate of Great Xia will belong entirely to Japan! Lin Yu thinks he has gained a great advantage by getting 50 billion, but in reality, he has lost the national destiny of the entire Great Xia!"
Misa Fukuda looked extremely smug!
Click!
Just then, lightning flashed and thunder roared above the Longsheng Hotel. The entire hotel shook.
"Your Highness, this..." Yamamoto was startled, feeling an invisible, unparalleled pressure bearing down on the great formation.
Fukuda Misa's expression changed, and she said coldly, "There is an external force attacking the Summer Festival Formation. It seems that a master in the Great Xia has discovered our layout and is now setting up a formation to try to dismantle the Summer Festival Formation!"
"Could they be cultivators from the Great Xia?" Yamamoto's face paled, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what should we do?"
Fukuda Misa shook her head and said disdainfully, "Don't panic! The Summer Festival Formation has been gathering power for many days, while their formation has only just been established. No matter how powerful the caster is, they can't break through my formation in a short time! Moreover, tomorrow morning, the formation energy of other cities will converge on me, increasing my power a hundredfold! At that time, whoever dares to stop me, I will kill gods and Buddhas alike! Wahahahaha!"
Misa Fukuda threw her head back and laughed wildly.
...
Boom!
Tonight in Guanzhong, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Countless electric snakes streaked across the sky, as if trying to tear the heavens apart.
Countless people were awakened from their sleep.
I thought a downpour was coming, but not a single drop of rain fell until dawn.
At sunrise, an unusual phenomenon appeared in the sky: a blood-red moon rose slowly alongside the sun.
The sun and moon shine together!
It should have been auspicious. But the blood-red moon looked unusually eerie, giving people a vague sense of foreboding.
Charity hospital.
The back garden, an open space.
An altar, incense burner, and sacrificial offerings have already been set up.
The surrounding bluestone slabs were covered with dense red runes.
From a distance, the outline of these runes actually resembles the shape of a Bagua (Eight Trigrams).
In the very center of this Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation, a tall and imposing figure sat upright, like a statue.
He didn't open his eyes until the sun rose and dew wet his face.
At that moment, he looked up at the sky and saw invisible streams of energy coming from all directions, forming huge chains that converged towards a certain part of the city.
"The Qi of Guanzhong is enveloped. It seems that Xiao Rizi's formation is ready. Soon we can activate the main formation and draw Qi eastward!"
Lin Yu muttered to himself. His expression immediately turned somber.
He certainly wouldn't allow things to escalate any further!
With a slight flick of his wrist, a fire poker suddenly flew into his hand.
Wow!
Lin Yu secretly channeled his inner energy, and heat condensed in his palm, causing the Dragon Subduing Wood to gradually ignite.
A scent similar to sandalwood wafted out, and Lin Yu quickly stood up and thrust the Dragon-Subduing Wood into the incense burner in front of him.
boom!
In an instant, the Bagua runes on the ground lit up, resembling small snakes slithering across the ground.
At this moment, the entire formation came to life!
Lin Yu made a hand seal and pointed diagonally to the sky, shouting, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"
Then, he bit his finger and used the blood to draw a dragon shape on the ground!
Chant!
A resounding dragon roar echoed in all directions, and faintly, a colossal creature slowly struggled out from among the wandering runes!
