After dawn broke, Cheng Xiaofan got out of bed, washed up, and just as he finished, Songmu Chiyoko came up to invite him for morning tea and dim sum.
Sakura Country, like some southern cities in Huaxia, has the habit of drinking morning tea.
Regarding Cheng Xiaofan's arrival, Songmu Chiyoko treated him like a lord, afraid of making any mistakes and being sent back to the womb with a slap.
In Songmu Chiyoko's mind, Cheng Xiaofan was connected to Sakai Kyoko, whom she had previously tried to harm. Cheng Xiaofan could use this as an excuse to deal with her at any time.
The typical Sakura Country breakfast consists of rice balls, tamagoyaki, egg rolls, bread, and fish.
Cheng Xiaofan was very casual about his food. He ate a rice ball, drank half a bowl of kelp soup, and declared he was full.
Seeing that it was only seven o'clock, he did not have the habit of going back to sleep. So, he said to Songmu Chiyoko, "Settle the bill!"
Songmu Chiyoko was stunned for a moment and asked, "Settle what bill?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I've stayed and eaten here, so of course, I need to pay!"
Songmu Chiyoko quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Mr. Cheng, what are you saying? Normally, you wouldn't even come when I invite you. How could I possibly charge you?"
"Since you're not charging me, I won't be polite then!"
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand at her and walked out of the inn.
Songmu Chiyoko didn't retrieve her gaze from the street until Cheng Xiaofan disappeared from her sight. She then let out a long sigh.
She thought, finally, she had sent this jinx away.
Immediately, Songmu Chiyoko took out her phone and dialed Sakai Kazuo.
"Chiyoko, why are you calling me so early?" Sakai Kazuo asked, his voice laced with a hint of laziness.
Songmu Chiyoko quickly said, "Cheng Xiaofan is here!"
"What? You mean that country bumpkin farmer Cheng Xiaofan from Huaxia is here?" Sakai Kazuo asked loudly, sounding nervous.
Songmu Chiyoko replied, "Yes, it's him. He stayed at my inn last night."
Sakai Kazuo then asked impatiently, "Chiyoko, do you know what Cheng Xiaofan is here in Sakura Country for?"
Songmu Chiyoko said, "I heard Cheng Xiaofan say that he's here in Sakura Country to find Inoue Shoichi and Yoshida Hideo."
Upon hearing this, Sakai Kazuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Miyazaki Amano and the eleven disciples of the Blood Demon Sect had died at Cheng Xiaofan's hands, which showed that his skills were indeed extraordinary.
Sakai Kazuo was most worried that this brat would come after him.
Although he came from a family of ancient martial arts practitioners in Sakura Country, he would probably die at Cheng Xiaofan's hands within a single round.
However, in Sakai Ichiro's opinion, no matter how strong Cheng Xiaofan was, he wouldn't be able to make any waves on the Blood Demon Sect's territory.
For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh heartily and said, "This ignorant country boy dares to come to the Blood Demon Sect's nest. It seems the King of Hell isn't calling him, he's actively seeking death!"
Songmu Chiyoko asked, "Mr. Sakai, after all, Kyoko is by Cheng Xiaofan's side. Aren't you worried that his death at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect might affect Kyoko's life?"
Sakai Kazuo listened and said angrily, "If it weren't for Cheng Xiaofan, how could I have been forced to become a monk? I don't care about that b*tch Kyoko anymore. To be honest, I wish this kid surnamed Cheng would die at the hands of the Blood Demon Sect!"
"Perhaps after the Blood Demon Sect's Grand Sect Master Inoue Shoichi eliminates this brat, he'll refine him into a divine pill to gain the energy of the Cheng family. As a thank you, he might even return all the assets he plundered from me!"
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, someone clapped him heavily on the back and said, "Sakai Kazuo, you have quite the imagination. You're so eager for me to die?"
Hearing this, Sakai Kazuo whipped his head around and saw a young man standing beside him who looked so familiar.
He suddenly recognized him, "Ah, you're Cheng Xiaofan?"
Sakai Kazuo had watched countless live streams of Cheng Xiaofan, so he was extremely familiar with his appearance.
It was just that Sakai Kazuo could never have imagined that this Cheng Xiaofan would appear beside him like a ghost at this moment.
"You... how did you get here?" Sakai Kazuo asked, quite startled.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "You should have just learned from Songmu Chiyoko that I'm going to meet the Blood Demon Sect's Grand Sect Master Inoue Shoichi today."
"However, it's still early before the scheduled meeting time, so I thought since you're Kyoko's father, I'd come and meet you first."
"Mr. Sakai, you truly live up to your reputation as a top figure in Sakura Country's business world. As soon as I inquired about which temple you entered as a monk, someone immediately gave me the exact address!"
"Cheng Xiaofan, what do you want by finding me here?" Sakai Kazuo asked warily.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and, like an old friend, enthusiastically extended his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed heartily, "I'm here to settle accounts with you!"
"I ask you, Mr. Sakai, you and I have never met. Why did you send Kyoko and Songmu Chiyoko to my place to try and control me? Do we have any enmity?"
Sakai Kazuo swallowed dryly and said, "That was my mistake. But, you gained Kyoko because of it, so you didn't lose out!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "What you said seems reasonable!"
"However, that matter is considered settled. But later, you hired Miyazaki Amano from the Blood Demon Sect to kill me. Although the plan failed, it left an indelible shadow on my heart."
"Do you know how scared I was at the time? It caused me to develop sleepwalking and I fell into a pond twice in the middle of the night, almost drowning."
"You have to compensate me for this mental distress, right?"
"..." Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, Sakai Kazuo was speechless.
You portray yourself as so timid, yet how did Miyazaki Amano and the eleven Blood Demon Sect disciples die?
You want me to compensate you for your mental distress, but until Songmu Chiyoko just said you arrived, I was so scared I almost lost my soul.
"Cheng Xiaofan, how much do you want?" Sakai Kazuo knew that this brat was committed to his path and wouldn't let him go easily without shedding some blood.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "I'm not greedy. Just a token gesture, two billion!"
"What? Two billion?" Is that considered a token gesture?
Sakai Kazuo said with a mournful face, "Currently, almost all my assets have been seized by the Blood Demon Sect, and the rest are controlled by my son, Sakai Ootoushi."
"I really can't come up with that much money!"
*Slap!*
Cheng Xiaofan landed a heavy slap on Sakai Kazuo's face.
He said, "Sakai Kazuo, do you think I don't know? With someone like you, do you really not keep any assets for yourself?"
"You're nominally a monk in a temple, but secretly indulging in fine food and drink and embracing beautiful women. Does everyone else not know?"
"I'll give you my bank account number. Quickly tell Songmu Chiyoko to transfer two billion Chinese yuan, or do you believe I'll destroy you immediately!"
"I'll transfer it! I'll have Songmu Chiyoko transfer two billion Chinese yuan to you immediately!" Sakai Kazuo said, trembling with fear.
