" Qin Xiao, I've always been a fan of the Avengers. I never expected our first meeting to be under such circumstances!"
At the entrance of JG Shrine, all the reporters had been driven away, leaving only the Emperor to talk to Qin Xiao alone.
Although Qin Xiao had driven him to the brink of despair, the Emperor's first words were still very polite.
Speak China!
The Emperor was slightly taken aback. He had originally intended to seize the last opportunity to ease the tension, and had started speaking in English. He hadn't expected Qin Xiao's first words to be this.
As the Emperor, China culture and language were compulsory subjects in his basic education during his childhood.
The more arrogant they appear on the surface, the more insecure they are inside. In fact, all the leaders understand that their own written language, and even various civilizations, are built upon the study of Han culture.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, but the information I read said you grew up in the United States, so I thought you were a true Westerner!"
Qin Xiao waved his hand, offering no further explanation.
"No need for formalities. Agree to my terms, and I'll leave, or I'll take matters into my own hands and, while I'm at it, destroy a third of your Tokyo."
"Besides the members of the Hishiguchi Family, several right-wing military personnel were also involved in plotting the attack on the Avengers. I've brought them all to you. As for the conditions you mentioned, we can agree to them, but we need some time to complete them gradually over the next few years. You know, there are quite a few fanatics in our country, and we need some time to deal with them. Thank you!"
The Emperor bowed deeply to Qin Xiao at a ninety-degree angle, addressing him with respectful terms of address.
"That's your problem. I've given you plenty of time. If it weren't for the need to indiscriminately kill innocent people, I could simply open a portal in your major cities, perhaps leading to some distant starry sky?"
"To be honest, your attitude is good, and I have a good impression of you. However, some things can't be solved simply by having the right attitude, and some mistakes need to be corrected. There's always a price to pay, isn't there?"
Before the Emperor could say anything more, Qin Xiao waved his hand and sent him away.
"Two hours left!"
This was Qin Xiao's last message to the Emperor.
An hour and a half later, apart from the JG Shrine where Qin Xiao was located, all the shrines in Japan that enshrined war criminals who launched invasions during World War II were destroyed.
It wasn't Qin Xiao who made the move; afterwards, Hill sent Qin Xiao a video!
The video contains the Emperor's last words, roughly meaning that all shrines have been destroyed, and Qin Xiao is in charge of handling the JG Shrine. As for a personal apology, it is a symbol of Japan's spirit.
Once such a thing is done, it will inevitably damage the dignity of the royal family. However, he has already spoken with the Prime Minister and will revise the teaching materials over the next few years to gradually correct this situation.
"Please, Mr. Qin!"
At the end of the video, the Emperor stood up and slowly bowed to Qin Xiao.
Then he picked up a clean white towel and slowly wrapped it around a samurai sword...
In fact, committing seppuku is a very complicated process, almost to the point of being perverse.
The person ordered to commit seppuku first made a cut down the upper abdomen, then immediately turned the Blade upwards and made a horizontal cut across the right chest.
Finally, he slashed open his left chest and cut open his heart.
Before committing seppuku, not only must one remove their shoes, but a blanket must also be laid on the ground to prevent soiling.
After the final blow, you need to keep a breath of life left, place the knife beside you, and die face down on the ground.
To avoid the unsightly sight of exposed internal organs after death, it is also necessary to prevent blood from flowing onto the floor.
Also, burning sandalwood incense beforehand can prevent the room from smelling too bloody, etc.
There are many proper rules regarding seppuku in Japan; those interested can find information about them on their own.
Anyway, here, Qin Xiao watched as the Emperor in the video went through every procedure meticulously, his face serious, executing the entire process flawlessly.
He sighed inwardly. This emperor was trying to save the Japan imperial family, or rather, the government, with his own life.
"Has it been confirmed?"
Qin Xiao asked Hill on the other end of the phone.
"It's confirmed. You've been at the shrine entrance the whole time. There are reporters everywhere, but they don't dare approach you. The Japan government has temporarily blocked the news. They've promised to fulfill the Emperor's promise, and they're waiting for your reply!"
"Actually, I think that's enough. After all, he's already committed seppuku, so this matter can be considered closed!"
Hill watched the video and couldn't help but say something.
"I know, I watched the video, and it was very shocking. I might have compromised on other things; he was very sincere, even sacrificing his life. But Hill, do you know how many people officers and soldiers Carnage during World War II?"
"Those people were war criminals, executioners, and now, they've been worshipped in the shrine behind me for decades, regarded as war heroes. Perhaps you can understand this better if I look at it from another angle: if there were a museum in Germany like the one in New York, glorifying Hydra and Nazis and calling them heroes, what would you think?"
"Tell them, one week! One week is enough for them to prepare for a fanatic counterattack! Let them be grateful to the Emperor who committed seppuku; at the crucial moment, he upheld his imperial dignity and did not disgrace the nation!"
Finally, Qin Xiao turned and left amidst the explosion at JG Shrine.
Three days later, the government announced that the Emperor had died of illness.
Five days later, the Japan government acknowledged the various Carnage they committed during World War II.
Leaving aside the huge ripples this event caused in the international community, within Japan alone, a large number of right-wing elements took to the streets, causing considerable chaos in Japan for a considerable period.
These right-wing elements include bigwigs from various industries and the military, whose power is far beyond that of ordinary people. When they act together, even though the prime minister was prepared, it still severely damaged the vitality of the entire Japan.
These things happened gradually later and had nothing to do with Qin Xiao anymore.
For Qin Xiao, this incident was a chance to make up for some of the regrets from his past life.
Actually, this part was written in several chapters, but I gave up on it for some reasons. My updates haven't been very frequent lately. It's a personal matter. I went back to my hometown twice, but I still haven't completely resolved it. I can only take the materials to the bank to apply for a one-month extension of my mortgage. If it doesn't work next month, I'll have to apply again!
This serves as another negative example. Never lend your account to others for money transfers in the future. It's risky, very troublesome, extremely troublesome!
