Under normal circumstances, the diners would have suspected these ruffians were plant actors hired by Cheng Xiaofan, deliberately creating a scene to promote his medicine.
However, they were all well aware that these ruffians had no connection whatsoever with Cheng Xiaofan, and that Cheng Xiaofan wasn't there to promote any medicine.
"Waseda, do you know why I healed your leg?" Cheng Xiaofan asked Waseda.
Waseda shook his head and replied, "I don't know, sir. Can you tell me?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "You were coerced into joining the Jiusan gang. Unlike them, who joined voluntarily to extort people and are of extremely poor character."
"I healed your leg so you could supervise them, to make sure they do their jobs!"
He then took out six more pills and handed them to Waseda, saying, "In a month, see who among them has performed well and give them a pill!"
"For those who are incorrigible, don't give them any medicine!"
Waseda, who seemed to have been bullied by Jiusan and the others frequently, said hesitantly after hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, "Is... is this okay?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "What, are you afraid Jiusan and the others will retaliate against you?"
"Don't worry, whoever dares to lay a finger on you, you don't even need my Bai Goddess to act; I can make them disappear from this world instantly!"
"You've heard of the Blood Demon Sect, right? I wiped them out. How can a mere ant like Jiusan cause any trouble?"
Initially, Cheng Xiaofan didn't intend to reveal his involvement in destroying the Blood Demon Sect.
But since coming to Sakura Country, many people had already seen the clues from how he acquired the entire Blood Demon Sect's assets, realizing that the sect's downfall was his doing.
There was no point in hiding it any longer. Since others already knew, he might as well be upfront.
His Bai Goddess had already claimed the title of Goddess in Sakura Country. As her man, if he didn't make some waves, he would truly be seen as the epitome of living off a woman.
"What, he's the one who destroyed the Blood Demon Sect?"
"This pair from Huaxia is too formidable!"
"I heard all of the Blood Demon Sect's assets were transferred to someone named Cheng Xiaofan in Huaxia. I get it, this young man is Cheng Xiaofan!"
"Yes, he is Cheng Xiaofan. I heard he came to Kiyomizu Street Plaza today for the ceremony to transfer the Blood Demon Sect's assets, but Watanabe Iwao brought the Bat Gang to cause trouble, and they were wiped out by the Goddess beside him!"
Listening to the discussions, Jiusan and the others were petrified.
What level of terrifying individuals had they encountered today?
Even the Blood Demon Sect was wiped out by this person named Cheng Xiaofan?
"Waseda, don't worry. From now on, I, Jiusan, will listen to you. If I have any ulterior motives towards you, you can punish me at any time!" Jiusan eagerly pledged his loyalty to Waseda.
At this moment, he clearly understood that Waseda had gained Cheng Xiaofan's attention, someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.
If he offended Waseda, he could disappear from this world at any moment.
"Yes, yes, Waseda, from now on, we brothers will all follow your orders. You are our boss!" the others chimed in.
With Cheng Xiaofan backing him, Waseda's courage finally swelled.
He said to them, "As long as you work hard, after a month, I will distribute Master Cheng's pills to you, allowing you to stand up just like me."
Cheng Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Weiguo, "Old classmate, you're satisfied working them without having to pay wages, right?"
"This, this, this..."
Faced with this dramatic turn of events, Li Weiguo scratched his head incessantly, unsure what to say. "Xiaofan, they've disabled a leg, making them disabled. If I make them work for me for free, I'm afraid the relevant departments here will penalize me!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Weiguo finished speaking, someone chimed in, laughing loudly, "Don't worry. Since you are Mr. Cheng's old classmate, we will definitely look out for you. In the Yamaguchi Prefecture area, no one dares to penalize you."
"..." Cheng Xiaofan, upon hearing this, wondered who it was.
In this foreign land, was someone showing him such deference?
He turned around and saw an old man who resembled a smiling Buddha, surrounded by a group of people, walking towards him.
The smiling Buddha old man cupped his hands towards Cheng Xiaofan and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, it is a great honor to meet you here!"
"May I ask who you are?" Cheng Xiaofan asked, looking bewildered.
The smiling Buddha old man quickly introduced himself, "My name is Takahashi Kiyonori, Governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture. I just received news that you were at the Tang Dynasty Grand Hotel, and I rushed here to pay my respects!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled upon hearing this, "So it's the Governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture. I'm just a humble farmer from Huaxia. What is there to warrant your personal visit!"
Takahashi Kiyonori smiled, "Mr. Cheng, you are too modest!"
"Do you know about the Blood Demon Sect? They were the greatest cancerous tumor in Sakura Country's cultivation world. The higher-ups had dispatched personnel to find their nest and eradicate them!"
"I never imagined such a major tumor was hidden in my Yamaguchi Prefecture, and you, Mr. Cheng, have completely eliminated it!"
"Today, it was only after Yoshida Shigenobu was apprehended that I learned that he, as a police chief, had a deep connection with the Blood Demon Sect."
"It is also because of this that I finally understood that the Blood Demon Sect's destruction was entirely orchestrated by you, Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Xiaofan eagerly asked, "Mr. Takahashi, I've helped your Sakura Country's cultivation world eradicate such a major tumor. Are there any rewards?"
"Yes, of course there are!"
Takahashi Kiyonori said, "Originally, after the Blood Demon Sect was annihilated, all of its assets were to be confiscated and made public property. Later, after deliberation, since Matsushita Kotoko had already transferred the Blood Demon Sect's assets to your name, we will go with the flow. This will be a reward from the relevant departments of Yamaguchi Prefecture to you!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was speechless.
These were originally assets transferred to him by Matsushita Kotoko, but now they were apparently a reward from Yamaguchi Prefecture to him.
"The common folk shouldn't argue with officials."
However, he had to admit that with the official seal of Yamaguchi Prefecture, it was like adding an insurance policy. No one would dare to covet his companies and corporations established here in the future.
"Alright, I agree!" Cheng Xiaofan said.
Takahashi Kiyonori quickly grabbed Cheng Xiaofan's hand and shook it repeatedly. "How about this, President Cheng, tomorrow morning, we will hold an award ceremony at your kabushiki gaisha, what do you say?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "Sure, I think that's fine."
"However, I need to correct something. Please don't call me President, nor mention Kabushiki Gaisha. I'm not used to such titles."
"Let's stick to our Huaxia terms and call it Cheng Group Company!"
"Certainly, as long as Mr. Cheng is happy, we will do as you say!" Takahashi Kiyonori said with a beaming smile, nodding repeatedly.
