Chapter 542: Follow-up

"Lingyun, your mission this time is finally over, right!" Chen Jing asked softly, looking at Lingyun standing under the building.

"That's right, this escort mission is finally over!" Lingyun nodded and said. "Next, I need to go resolve my own affairs!"

Seitenshi had just finished her second meeting with Qi Wu Zongxuan. Under Lingyun's suppression, Qi Wu Zongxuan had not gained any advantage from Seitenshi; instead, it had prompted Seitenshi to take a big step toward becoming a mature regional ruler. It could be said that he had miscalculated significantly.

"Tsk, thinking of the look of unwillingness on that old guy's face when he left, it's really interesting!" Chen Jing said with a light laugh.

"When Qi Wu Zongxuan came here, he was harboring the intention of completely crushing Seitenshi, who didn't have Tendo Kikunojo by her side. But the final result was that it accelerated the growth of the still-immature Seitenshi, and it also left him with a shadow regarding the Tokyo Area. This was absolutely a case of losing his wife and losing his soldiers; how could he be willing to accept that?" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Mr. Lingyun, thank you so much for the escort during this meeting!" After seeing Qi Wu Zongxuan off, Seitenshi walked up to Lingyun and bowed to him elegantly.

In this informal meeting with Qi Wu Zongxuan, Lingyun had contributed a great deal. Whether it was suppressing Qi Wu Zongxuan during the meeting, protecting her safety from the sniper, or finally killing the unknown sniper, it was almost entirely Lingyun's own credit.

"It's nothing, this was just a commission!" Lingyun shook his head and said.

"Is that so?" A flash of disappointment crossed Seitenshi's eyes.

"By the way, Your Excellency Seitenshi, I have a suggestion for you. I wonder if you would like to hear it?" Lingyun asked.

"What suggestion does Mr. Lingyun have?" Seitenshi asked.

"I believe those guard officers by your side still need to be sent back to the furnace to be remade. In this escort mission, I didn't see them have any eye-catching performance; all I saw was chaos and incompetence. After you were attacked by the sniper, other than shifting responsibility, they didn't show any improvement, and they didn't even have a contingency plan to deal with snipers. To be honest, if these people were my subordinates, I would absolutely have them all packed up and kicked out." Lingyun said. "Also, I suggest you thoroughly clean up the personnel within the Seikyo. As far as I know, your previous itinerary had strict confidentiality protocols. The fact that someone was still able to snipe at you in such bad weather means your itinerary was definitely leaked. Such people lurking by your side will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to your life and safety!"

Seitenshi listened to Lingyun's words while nodding, clearly taking note of all these matters. As for how she would implement them later, that was no longer Lingyun's business.

"Your guard officers are here, I should go!" Lingyun's gaze caught Baoxie Zhuoren walking toward them aggressively with five people. After saying this to Seitenshi, he took Chen Jing and left.

"Lingyun, what do you think the outcome for those people will be?" Chen Jing leaned into Lingyun's ear and asked.

"I don't know what their outcome will be, but one thing is certain: they absolutely hate me to death right now." Lingyun shrugged. "After we go back, I need to remind the others in Lingyun Town to be careful from now on. Who knows what kind of retaliatory measures that narrow-minded guy might take against us!"

On the plane, Qi Wu Zongxuan looked at the Tokyo Area as it gradually grew smaller, a cold, sharp light flashing in his eyes. He had suffered heavy losses coming to the Tokyo Area this time; not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he was also severely played by a brat no older than twenty.

"The result of this operation is going to be very hard to explain to those people! Lingyun, Lingyun Town..." Qi Wu Zongxuan said through gritted teeth. "This matter isn't over. I will absolutely make you know just how terrifying a thing it is to anger me, Qi Wu Zongxuan!"

"No, I don't think this is a very terrifying thing at all!" A calm voice rang out in the cabin.

"Who is it?"

The bodyguards beside Qi Wu Zongxuan drew their pistols simultaneously, quickly forming a protective circle around him. Looking at their vigilant expressions and their readiness for battle, and then recalling the chaotic actions of the guard officers around Seitenshi when she was attacked, the gap between the two was clearly visible.

One must know that Qi Wu Zongxuan was an absolute dictator, and he had suffered multiple assassination attempts in his own territory. The fact that he was able to survive until now was largely due to these people under his command.

"You, how are you here?" Qi Wu Zongxuan looked at Lingyun, who had appeared in the cabin, and a sense of foreboding churned continuously in his heart.

"Why I am here is not important; what is important is that I have brought you a gift, and I think you will absolutely love it!" Lingyun flashed a smile at Qi Wu Zongxuan, and then his figure dissipated within the cabin.

"This, this guy, is he a ghost?" Looking at Lingyun, who had vanished into thin air, Qi Wu Zongxuan's complexion turned very ugly.

Lingyun's figure appeared on the plane, looking at the pairs of scarlet eyes rapidly approaching the aircraft from the distance. A cold, indifferent smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and then he jumped directly off the plane, disappearing into the darkness.

After returning to Lingyun Town, Lingyun saw the obituary regarding Qi Wu Zongxuan on the television.

The plane carrying Qi Wu Zongxuan back to the Osaka Area had encountered a large swarm of flying-type Gastrea just as it was about to enter the Osaka Area. Although the Osaka Area had dispatched a rescue team in time, the sky had always been the domain of flying-type Gastrea. By the time the rescue team arrived, only the wreckage of the plane remained at the crash site, along with corpses that had been gnawed beyond recognition by the Gastrea, one of which was clearly Qi Wu Zongxuan.

Lingyun could tell that although the new leader of the Osaka Area, who was giving a speech on television, looked full of grief, deep in his eyes there was only excitement and ambition. Clearly, he was absolutely happy about Qi Wu Zongxuan's death; his current appearance was merely to scrape up some political capital for himself.

"Brother, you were the one who did this, right!" Senju Kayo leaned into Lingyun's embrace and said to him.

"That's right, it was me!" Regarding this matter, Lingyun had no intention of hiding anything from her. "I said long ago that for any dog that dares to stretch its claws toward Lingyun Town, I don't mind chopping their claws into pieces and sending that dog to the slaughterhouse."

"Well, as long as Brother is here, we will feel exceptionally at ease!" Xiaona looked at Lingyun to the side and said with a giggle.
