A Huge Sum of Money

Long Ye had already overestimated the king's strength, but upon hearing Frost Wolf's words, she couldn't help but feel horrified.

The ability to create an Ice Release layer three zhang thick and a hundred zhang long using only Ninjutsu is simply unbelievable.

"No wonder Xue Ji boasted that this person's strength surpassed that of Kage Level!"

If he had come alone this time, his confidence would have been severely shaken, but fortunately, he had a master hidden by his side.

Mei Terumi's Boil Release and Lava Release are, in a sense, very effective at countering Ice Release.

Even so, the journey remains extremely dangerous.

What reassured him somewhat was that he had obtained the Thunder God Sword by chance. Having this ninja tool that could cut through anything gave him a bit more confidence.

"The people of the Land of Snow have long been resentful of this man's bloody rule. In just a few years, they have launched several internal rebellions, but without exception, all of them have been suppressed by this man relying on his overwhelming strength."

"It can be said that the Land of Snow is now completely controlled by this person by his own strength. If the princess can get rid of this person, she will surely gain the support of the people and ascend the throne."

This Frost Wolf, who has been like a stray dog for years, hiding here and there, has become more active than ever before now that he sees the princess return.

Although he was extremely loyal to the princess, he was not without his own selfish motives.

Because if he assists Xue Ji in ascending the throne, his future status will inevitably be second only to the king.

That's why he described how terrible the man was while simultaneously encouraging Xue Ji to take revenge.

Of course, the main reason was that he saw that Xue Ji had invited a rare master like Long Ye, and such an opportunity might not come again for the next ten years.

Xue Ji smiled slightly and glanced subtly at Mei Terumi, who had remained unassuming throughout.

She knew that this person was the Mizukage of the Land of Water, and in terms of strength, he was definitely no less than the man beside her. If the two of them joined forces, they might have a chance.

We need to come up with a foolproof plan!

Mei Terumi suddenly interjected.

Frost Wolf, whose eyes were always fixed on Long Ye, looked at Mei Terumi with a puzzled expression when she suddenly spoke, clearly not understanding the identity and background of this person.

Because from beginning to end, Xue Ji only introduced Long Ye, and didn't say a word to the person standing next to her.

This was also Mei Terumi's prior instruction, because her identity was too sensitive, and it would be harmful if it got out. On the contrary, if she hid in the shadows, it might have an unexpected effect.

Long Ye nodded, but instead of answering, she asked, "Approximately how long will it take to get to the Land of Snow from here?"

"Two days at most!" Frost Wolf said hastily.

"Alright! Two days later, we'll go to the Land of Snow and meet the king."

"Long Ye said firmly," she said.

"What!!"

The Frost Wolf was terrified.

It turns out he just talked nonsense.

He patiently explained the terrifying power of the king, urging the enemy not to rashly throw their lives away, but to gather more strength and plan for a longer period before taking action.

He was certainly not thinking about the other person's safety; in fact, he wished that this person would go and fight the king to the death right now.

But the key is that you have to be able to kill that person; otherwise, going there would be pointless and completely meaningless.

Mei Terumi and Xue Ji exchanged a glance, understanding Long Ye's thoughts.

When they arrived, they had already devised a plan: the two of them would impersonate Snow Ninja and escort Xue Ji to the palace so that she could personally meet the king.

This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity for assassination.

Before today, this plan might have been debatable, but after today, especially with Long Ye obtaining the Thunder God Sword and possessing the Flying Thunder God Slash, the plan undoubtedly has a greater need to be implemented.

Because at close range, almost no one can dodge the Flying Thunder God Slash.

Not to mention, Long Ye also has a move called "Fatal Gaze" that is no slower than Flying Thunder God Slash.

If he activates the "Flying Thunder God Formula" at the same time as he casts the "Fatal Injection," his speed will definitely receive a significant boost.

The speed of that move will surely surpass that of the Flying Thunder God.

Then, with the added sharpness of Thunder God Sword, any mortal being would inevitably be cut in two.

Now, all he lacks is the opportunity to meet the king.

Mei Terumi nodded:

"This is the only way to assassinate them. If it fails, it will only mean a fight. After all, no matter how much planning is done, it will be in vain in the face of overwhelming power."

Seeing that Mei Terumi had agreed, the two finalized the plan.

The three understood each other perfectly, but the Frost Wolf was completely bewildered and couldn't figure out what was going on.

They didn't offer much explanation.

Although this person seems trustworthy, you can't judge a book by its cover.

The crucial point is that this operation concerns the lives of the three of them, so it cannot be revealed casually.

The plan had barely been finalized when Ramming Horn Pirates's cautious voice came from outside:

"Sir, your money is ready!"

Long Ye's spirits lifted; he had already anticipated that this would be a huge sum of money.

In addition to the 15 million he was entitled to as agreed, he received an extra reward, the same as Frost Wolf's, for saving the man's life.

He didn't know the exact amount before, only assuming it was definitely more than 15 million, but seeing it in person still surprised him.

A full 80 million!

As he collected the money, he thought to himself, "The number one pirate group in the North Blue is indeed incredibly wealthy, able to casually come up with 80 million."

With the 80 million plus his original compensation, this deal made him a whopping 95 million.

He marveled at the pirate crew's wealth, but little did he know that after paying his and Frost Wolf's wages, nearly 80% of the Ramming Horn Pirates's fortune had been depleted, leaving him with his own unspeakable woes.

But for the regimental commander, it was undoubtedly worthwhile, because if the other party hadn't intervened, he would be dead by now.

Long Ye accepted the huge savings account with a string of zeros with satisfaction, but the Frost Wolf felt it was a bit too hot to handle.

Firstly, he hadn't been able to contribute anything this time, and given the previous agreement, the leader had no choice but to pay the money, as he didn't want to have another enemy like him.

If Long Ye wasn't here, he would naturally feel perfectly justified in taking it, but the fact that Oboro was sitting right in front of him made him a little uneasy.

He steeled his resolve and said, "I spoke disrespectfully to you before, sir. Although you are magnanimous and forgave me out of respect for the princess, an apology is still necessary..."

He pushed the "80 million" savings book in front of Long Ye and earnestly begged her to accept it.

Long Ye smiled broadly and nodded.

"Since you're so sincere, then I'll accept it. Now our past grievances are completely wiped clean."

Frost Wolf broke out in a sweat, thinking to himself, "So this is the end of it? It means he only verbally forgave me before, but he might still cause me trouble later."

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised himself for making a wise move.

Long Ye was about to reach for the bankbook, a hand snatched it away before he could reach it.
