Upon witnessing the display of Ono Ike, Luo Feng did not perceive any courtesy from the other party but instead felt disgust.
“Frankly speaking, I do not welcome the arrival of individuals of your status. Descendants of war criminals are not seen favorably by many. I would suggest that when you return to the airport, protect yourself and wear a mask. Otherwise, I fear that you might face a calamity. You might have gone unnoticed on your arrival, but now your face has likely been captured in hundreds of thousands of screenshots.”
Luo Feng spoke with indifference.
Once he finished speaking, without looking back, he left.
Your ancestors?
What concern is it of mine? Playing the sympathy card?
Bowing?
Requesting assistance?
To hell with it!
“How dare he come to claim the body?”
“The host is right, I’ve taken a screenshot and will post it online soon. I’ll notify the folks at the Northeast airport and see if they can spot this guy!”
“And what will happen if he is spotted?” “What else? He’ll be beaten up on the spot!”
“Damn, that’s illegal!”
“Illegal? You think I care? Even if I get arrested, the cops would treat me like a king, and the other inmates would be giving me massages!” “Damn, that might actually happen!”
“Now that you’ve said that, I’m feeling rather impulsive!”
“Hahaha, you’re feeling impulsive already? Just look at the incentives the wealthy are offering online!”
“What incentives?”
“Things like gifting a Lamborghini and introducing you to female models after beating up this war criminal’s descendant!”
“One of the wealthy guys even promised a reward of one hundred million for crippling him!”
“Are these wealthy guys for real?”
“Can’t guarantee the veracity, but many of them would be willing to do this, that’s for certain!”
“I know of Ike’s home address in Japan. I’m going to expose it now!”
The idea of assaulting the descendant of a war criminal had indeed stirred quite a sensation on the internet. So much so, that local airports nearly went into paralysis with countless people pouring into the international airports of the Northeast.
There were crowds inside and out, with people unsure of which airport Ono Ike would be passing through. Otherwise, the congestion would be even more severe. Fortunately, the disguised Ono Ike managed to pass through the airport undetected, but not without a flight attendant spilling coffee on his face.
This flight attendant was subsequently fired, thanks to Ono Ike’s complaint. However, netizens rallied behind her.
But those were all matters for later.
After Kawashima Miyuki failed to reclaim the bodies, there was a grand meeting on the Japanese side.
“Kawashima Miyuki’s failure to reclaim the bodies proves that Luo Feng has no intention of having a civil discussion with our nation!”
“I propose that we immediately block Luo Feng’s live broadcasts in our country and prohibit all his content from entering our borders!”
“I don’t think we should do that. After all, Luo Feng has a large fan base in our country. His broadcasts don’t violate any rules. Besides, he hasn’t defiled or desecrated the bodies of our ‘heroes’, so we have no excuse!”
“Indeed, simply because we want to exchange bodies and he doesn’t, to block him on this ground may not sit well with our citizens!”
Although they discussed blocking Luo Feng in the Sakura Empire, controlling public sentiment with his extensive fan base was a difficult task. Moreover, on an international level, the Sakura Empire would appear petty. After all, those bodies belong to Luo Feng. It’s up to him whether he wishes to exchange them, isn’t it?
But now, they were out of options. Luo Feng didn’t need money. Trading for treasures? Luo Feng said no; he wanted an apology. This was a dead-end. The Sakura Empire would never apologize for their past actions as it would mean admitting their wrongdoings.
“Whose call is this?”
Meanwhile, Luo Feng received a call from a stranger.
“Hello, Mr. Luo, I am Shen Wansan, the chief of the Northeast Frontier
“Ah, Mr. Shen?” “You mean, you want to put Ono Hisashi on trial?”
“But he’s already dead!”
Upon hearing the other party’s proposition, Luo Feng felt as though he were in a dream.
“Even the deceased must face judgment!”
“In this trial, we will present the letters and telegrams about him that you found. We need your permission for this.”
Faced with this situation, Luo Feng immediately agreed.
He had to.
The idea of war criminals standing trial hadn’t crossed Luo Feng’s mind.
Even in death?
This spectacle surpassed Luo Feng’s expectations. He knew the domestic authorities were not conducting the trial for the sake of the trial itself, but for asserting their discourse power internationally.
They were leveraging this situation to denounce the Sakura Empire’s denial of history. After all, in times of peace, they couldn’t just send soldiers over, but the appearance of Ono Hisashi’s letters and telegrams presented an opportunity to put pressure on the Sakura Empire.
The next day at nine o’clock in the morning, the domestic authorities officially announced a grand declaration. In conjunction with a dozen other countries, they decided to put Ono Hisashi on trial for past atrocities. The trial was to be held two weeks later in the Northeast capital..
