Chapter 871: Chapter 554: Fusang, Arasaka Group (2)
"Oh, I get it, observe from a distance before carrying out the mission."
She lazily said, "Figure out how many bombs are needed, how to throw them, to blow the target sky-high."
However, at that moment, Remyu suddenly leaned close to Lin Guang’s ear, softly joining their encrypted conversation:
"Even though I’m tempted to agree, you can’t just throw bombs in the city, okay?"
Vishdair choked for a moment: "...Of course, I know that, duh."
"And how did you even hear that?"
"Don’t mind the details, we’re close enough—it’s normal to overhear, right?"
The red-haired girl giggled, her eyes full of excitement, "Then we’ll sneak into the city, and I’ll take you around the shops I’ve already set my eyes on!"
"Weren’t you locked up and couldn’t go anywhere before?"
"Exactly, that’s why I only have my eyes on them!"
Remyu kept her arms wrapped around Lin Guang’s neck, her legs locked around his waist like an octopus, giggling mischievously in Lin Guang’s ear, "Hehe, it’s on me then!"
As if trying to hear the thoughts in Lin Guang’s mind clearly, the red-haired girl’s face got really close; the halo cast a glow over Lin Guang’s head, her breath and apple-like sweet scent continuously surrounded his nose, her side ponytail lightly brushed against Lin Guang’s neck, tickling him a bit.
On the side, Finn Xi rolled her eyes, feeling utterly out of place as a single person amidst their complicated relationship, while Su Yue showed a slight hint of exhaustion, yet couldn’t help but smile at their conversation.
They continued to maintain the domain, letting everyone traverse the rainbow bridge.
However.
Not long after this conversation ended.
An abrupt change occurred.
"?!"
—Amidst this endless ocean of rainbows around them, a new color, like cherry blossoms, suddenly appeared without any sign.
This pink stream wasn’t aggressive or hostile at all; it merely swirled around Su Yue’s domain like blossoms blown by the spring breeze, eventually converging into a broad path that distinctly pointed toward a specific direction.
At the same time.
A gentle yet irresistible force also emerged, trying to "guide" them off their original course.
"We’ve been discovered."
Su Yue looked at the three people beside him.
A flash of purple light flickered in Finn Xi’s eyes, and Lin Guang squinted slightly.
They could clearly feel the power guiding the cherry blossom light path; though extremely gentle and full of goodwill, it concealed an unyielding will behind it, almost like carrying a solemn diplomatic directive.
[Distinguished Great Xia True Masters, may I ask what brings you to Fusang?]
The Remyu on his back couldn’t help but sigh, "Well, we’ve been found out."
They could definitely refuse.
With Su Yue’s capability, he could certainly forcibly shake off this "kind" guidance to appear in the open sea of Fusang Country as initially planned.
But that would be pointless.
However...
Despite the sudden situation, the four didn’t seem too surprised.
—Because this was part of the plan, they had already made preparations for both outcomes.
Due to the turmoil in Fusang, they had deliberately not sent any message and came directly instead.
If they weren’t discovered, they would just observe a bit over the border and the wilderness to decide the follow-up actions.
If discovered, they could go with the flow and enter directly under the guise of accompanying the Princess Heikawa Yoko as the envoy from Great Xia.
Since they were already found out, hiding would be useless, and forcibly detaching could easily turn such a prestigious lineup into a diplomatic incident.
Moreover, the others had made quite an effort in courtesy; not going could be somewhat rude, and the planned cooperation proposal for [Tower of Babel Manufacturing] and [Apple Pie Logistics] would be awkward.
He exchanged a look with Su Yue, then lightly nodded.
...
Capital.
Kyoto Building.
One of the most important major corporations in Capital and whole Fusang, property under [Arasaka Group], also Kyoto’s most renowned architectural landmark.
A massive building soaring as high as seven thousand meters, its vast structure made with matte textural black special Spirit Gold as the base, covered with countless Spirit Pattern Array traces resembling circuitry, neon lights flashing incessantly, rendering it extraordinarily magnificent.
Regardless of day or night, whatever the weather, as long as you looked from any corner of the Capital, you could see this enormous building standing tall in the prime city center, sparkling brightly.
Yet at this moment.
Just half an hour ago, an emergency clearance was ordered at the Kyoto Building.
Whether it was the employees working in high levels or the shopping mall, luxury hotels, large public baths, advanced shops below, all customers and workers had no choice but to leave.
So now the entire building was empty, leaving only the plaza at the top of the building.
Now, night had fallen.
The clear night sky was casting starlight and moonlight.
Hundreds of uniformed ceremonial guard members stood there as still as statues, wearing black traditional warrior attire with the embroidered crest of "Black Iron Sixteen-Edged Chrysanthemum."
Each one of them was a Spirit Master, yet at this moment, they were just inconspicuous members of the ceremonial guard.
Standing at the front was a young man wearing the same style clothing, only with more luxurious patterns.
