"Explain?"
Sitting at the head of the table, Old Master Qiao chuckled inwardly. The other Qiao Family were trembling with fear, but the old man was also a shrewd man, and he had already guessed Yunyi's purpose in coming to the Qiao Family.
Saying he wanted an explanation was essentially a way of supporting Xiaoxue. Since that's the case, then he'd give this kid an explanation.
"This time it was the Qiao Family's fault. I assure you, as long as I'm still in power, I will not allow anyone to harass Girl Snow again. How about that, kid, is that enough?" Old Master Qiao looked at Yunyi with a half-smile.
Hearing the old man's words, Yunyi rolled his eyes in annoyance. That's quite a statement.
While he was in power, Old Master Qiao was practically telling Yunyi that once he stepped down, what the Qiao Family did was no longer his concern. But if you wanted to say he was giving instructions, that was certainly enough.
However, Yunyi wasn't about to be manipulated by the old man. He chuckled and glanced back at Old Master Qiao, then casually put his arm around Xiaoxue's shoulder. "Old Master, Xiaoxue is the daughter-in-law my mother chose. I'm standing here today to give you face. But if there's a next time, and my mother comes to visit, things won't be so easy. By the way, you should know what kind of relationship I have with my family. Don't think that the old man from the Yun Family will stand up for you; he's not that influential."
Old Master Qiao's face immediately darkened, but he couldn't say anything. The Shen Family's influence within the Great Asian Alliance wasn't great, but thanks to Shen Yi, this oddball, they had secured a significant position. Even if the Qiao Family didn't consider the Shen Family a threat, did Shen Yi rely on the Shen Family? No! Shen Yi relied on her son, Yunyi.
Why did the Qiao Family dare to even consider this? The lure of power was one reason, but the second was precisely because Shen Yi and Yunyi were rarely within the United Nations' borders. The higher-ups at the Great Asian Alliance were perfectly aware of why Shen Yi didn't return to China. If they really angered her, she wouldn't need to make a special trip back home; sending her son would solve everything, wouldn't it?
"Alright, A-Yi, let's just leave it at that."
However, just as the atmosphere was tense, it was Xiaoxue who stepped forward and tugged at Yunyi's sleeve.
This surprised everyone present except for Xiaoxue herself. If anyone had the least favorable impression of the Qiao Family, it would probably be Xiaoxue herself. So, her standing up for the Qiao Family family was quite intriguing.
"What?" Yunyi was equally puzzled.
Listen to me, I have my own...
However, before Xiaoxue could finish speaking, her communication device rang.
When Xiaoxue took out her terminal and saw the number displayed, the look of doubt in her eyes quickly turned into panic. The reason was simple: the caller was none other than Shen Yi they had just mentioned.
Upon seeing Shen Yi's call, Xiaoxue was clearly at a loss. Yunyi, who was standing next to her, couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he took the terminal from her and pressed the answer button.
"Were you bullied?"
The next moment, Shen Yi's voice came through the receiver. However, Yunyi had chosen the speakerphone mode, so everyone in the living room could hear it clearly.
"Yeah, I got bullied by the Qiao Family. Sister Yi, what do you suggest we do?" Yunyi replied directly, startling everyone in the Qiao Family present, including Old Master Qiao.
Shen Yi, on the other end of the line, clearly hadn't expected to hear Yunyi's voice. After a moment of silence, she continued, "Since you've gone back, you can handle it as you see fit. Bring Girl Snow when you have some time; I have something to discuss with her."
After saying that, Shen Yi hung up the phone without waiting for Yunyi's reply. Helpless, Yunyi handed the terminal back to Xiaoxue and turned to leave the Qiao Family. He had come to support Xiaoxue, but now that she had her own plans, what was the point of him causing trouble?
Seeing Yunyi leave, Xiaoxue and the Qiao Family all breathed a sigh of relief. Now that this troublemaker was gone, they could finally continue their conversation. After leaving the Qiao Family family, Yunyi picked up Lina, who was waiting nearby, and went to Xiaoxue's house.
Bringing Lina back to the Great Asian Alliance was so that she could help Xiaoxue, so settling her here was the best choice. However, thinking of Xiaoxue's Bear Girl, Yunyi gave Lina a meaningful look before leaving, almost making Lina uncomfortable.
When Yunyi returned to Japan, it was already dark. He went back to his home in Japan and waited patiently for Tatsuya Shiba's next move.
In this world, Japan's military strength and magical development are among the world's best. Although he annihilated an entire Japan fleet, given Japan's current strength, especially its magicians, the losses are not considered severe. Even including Mio Itsuwa is the same. After all, no one knows whether Japan has any other Strategic-Class Magic hidden behind Japan scenes besides Tatsu Shiba.
To inflict a severe blow on Japan, shaking their magical power is the best option. And the Ten Master Clans of Japan are the visible leaders of these mages. As long as the Ten Master Clans are thrown into chaos, the magical world of Japan will inevitably fall into chaos. Therefore, Yunyi forced Tatsuya Shiba to take action against the Itsuwa Family.
"To wipe out one of the Ten Master Clans in one night, Tatsuya, such an achievement is worthy of being recorded in history." Looking out the window at the sky gradually being shrouded in night, Yunyi muttered to himself.
On the other side, on a Shinkansen train.
As night fell, Tatsuya Shiba slowly opened his eyes.
The Itsuwa Family's sphere of influence wasn't in Tokyo, so he had to travel by car to the city where the Itsuwa Family was located. Before setting off, he hesitated. Because Tatsuya Shiba was well aware that if he really took action, Japan would be thrown into complete chaos. But if he didn't take action, he believed that Yunyi would really make it impossible for him to find his sister.
When Tatsuya Shiba boarded the Shinkansen, Maya Yotsuba received the message. She asked Hayama to contact Tatsuya Shiba to confirm his purpose. However, Hayama was unable to reach Tatsuya Shiba Maya Yotsuba nervous.
Recalling Tatsuya Shiba's unusual behavior after activating " Material Burst," Maya Yotsuba immediately tensed up.
" Hayama, find out Tatsuya's destination and Miyuki's current location. I think his actions are definitely not that simple."
