Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Masamune Tachibana led von Schneider to the airport.

Schneider is a very pragmatic and meticulous person.

Apart from Tachibana Masamune, none of the other people in the Japanese branch were qualified to accompany von Schneider.

Ye Jingchen was the main character at today's celebration banquet. He found a seat and began to eat the pre-meal fruit, such as grapes and bananas.

Sezuko stood obediently behind Ye Jingchen, remaining silent.

Ye Jingchen turned his head and glanced at Shizuko. "Come and sit down. What are you standing for?"

"Ye Sang, don't bother me, just eat your food! That's the rule." Shi Jinzi gestured for Ye Jingchen to turn around and ignore her.

Ye Jingchen picked up a bunch of grapes and started eating, spitting out the seeds as he ate. "Your Japan is great in every way, from beautiful women to hot springs, but there are just too many formalities. That's not good."

As Ye Jingchen was complaining, he saw Yuan Zhisheng pull Erii along and walk in.

Yuan Zhisheng walked over with a box in his hand. "Ye Sang, this is a gift for you."

"You're here, why bring a gift? It's too much trouble!" Ye Jingchen declined verbally, but had already opened the gift box.

Yuan Zhisheng's lips twitched slightly. He admired Ye Jingchen's natural and fluent speech, something he himself couldn't do.

Moreover, Ye Jingchen is a guest, while Yuan Zhisheng and the others are the hosts. Ye Jingchen sitting here eating fruit and waiting for others feels a bit like he's overstepping his bounds.

"Wow! A watch, it must be expensive!" Ye Jingchen put the exquisite-looking watch on his wrist.

Genjiro smiled and shook his head. "It's not worth much." He and Erii had just come here and casually bought it at a famous watch store; it cost around seventy or eighty thousand US dollars.

Ye Jingchen smiled at Erii behind Genjiro, "Erii's here too!"

Erii was still wearing a straw hat and veil. She nodded slightly and leaned closer to Genjiro with a hint of nervousness.

Genjiro glanced at the slightly shy Erii and said, "Eri sent me an email early this morning saying she's coming to your celebration party. She even prepared a greeting card for you."

Genjiro acted as Erii's mouth double.

Erii lowered her head and handed over the greeting card with both hands.

Ye Jingchen straightened his upper body and solemnly accepted the greeting card, which featured a cute cartoon version of a "little person riding a flying dragon".

It was written in dense Japanese characters.

After Erii finished handing out the greeting card, she quickly retreated behind Genjiro, secretly observing Ye Jingchen's expression.

Ye Jingchen knew a little Japanese and tried to translate these Japanese texts.

"Ye-kun, please allow me to call you that. You are my first good friend. I am so happy to have met you. I am so grateful that you were brave enough to speak up for me back then, allowing me to go to the hot springs with you and my brother. Thank you for caring so much about my feelings. I will learn from your straightforward personality. Please take care of me for the rest of my life."

The words were very simple, and perhaps Ye Jingchen's translation wasn't elegant enough, but the sincere emotions conveyed truly touched Ye Jingchen.

Even a small thing is enough for Erii to care about for a long time.

Ye Jingchen carefully tucked the greeting card into his pocket, his smile fading as he looked into Erii's eyes behind the veil and said earnestly, "Thank you so much, Erii. This is the best gift I've ever received since I came into this world." (in Japanese)

Old man Inuyama He walked in at this moment, saying, "It may be a little while before the banquet begins."

Ye Jingchen turned his head. "What's wrong?"

Inuyama He cast a suspicious glance at Ye Jingchen, "The other family heads all went to the airport with Minister Schneider to hand over their duties. I don't know why they haven't returned yet. But I also don't understand, Ye-san, as your mentor, why didn't he stay to attend your victory celebration banquet and leave Japan after dinner?"

Ye Jingchen stroked his chin. "Head of the Inuyama family, you were once Principal Angers' student, so you should know something about my mentor, Schneider. He has always been a meticulous person who puts work first."

Inuyama He smiled and looked towards the airport. "He is a very respectable person."

Ding Ding Ding!

The phone in Yuan Zhisheng's pocket rang!

Yuan Zhisheng: "Moshi Moshi?"

Sakura Yabuki: "Young Master, this is bad! A large number of Death Servants have appeared at the airport! Minister Schneider of Kassel College and the heads of various families are surrounded by Death Servants at the airport!"

Genjiro's eyes widened. "What!"

Ye Jingchen stood up, his brows furrowing slightly. "What happened?"

Yuan Zhisheng hung up the phone. "This is very bad. The airport has been surrounded by a large number of Dead Servants! Your mentor and the heads of the various families are all in danger."

"No way, you old bastard Tachibana Masamune, how dare you?" Ye Jingchen was shocked, then looked at Genjiro, "Let's go, to the airport now, and rescue them!"

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "Okay!"

Erii heard their conversation and watched Ye Jingchen and Yuan Zhisheng about to leave, and nervously clenched her fists.

Upon hearing the notification, Inuyama He also hung his katana at his waist, preparing to go to the airport with Ye Jingchen and Genjiro.

Seeing this, Ye Jingchen repeatedly reached out to stop Inuyama He, "No, Inuyama family head, you stay here, take charge of the overall situation, organize the existing personnel, and take Erii back to Genji Heavy Industries! You must protect Erii!"

Inuyama He suddenly realized, his pupils shrinking sharply. "You mean, the enemy's target is Erii?"

Ye Jingchen raised one hand and clenched his fist. "Not necessarily. Both sides can be the other side's target. This is an open strategy. First, a feint to the east while attacking the west, seemingly a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but in reality, it's a two-pronged approach. If we're not careful, the initiative will be in the other side's hands forever. I was too naive just now!"

From a god-like perspective, Ye Jingchen planned and anticipated in his mind: "Theoretically speaking, the Nibelungen site containing the White King's remains in the sea has not yet been opened. Tachibana Munemasa shouldn't be in such a hurry since he hasn't obtained the White King's remains. Where did things go wrong?"

Ye Jingchen first glanced at Inuyama He, imagining the scene that might unfold later. — Tachibana Masamune suddenly appeared before Inuyama He, deceiving him with a string of lies, and directly taking Erii without bloodshed. Moreover, even with the power of the Word of Power: Setsuna 512 times faster, Inuyama He might not be able to defeat Tachibana Masamune, no, he should be called a king, if they really fought.

Ye Jingchen glanced at Yuan Zhisheng again and shook his head. —One strike of the clapper would make a sound, and Yuan Zhisheng would fall to the ground, incapacitated. There was no need to consider him anymore.

"None of them are reliable. That old man, Tachibana Masamune, is really good at scheming!" Ye Jingchen complained inwardly, then looked at Genjiro, "No, I can't go with you. I have to stay and protect Erii!"

Yuan Zhisheng didn't say much, nodded, and prepared to leave.

Ye Jingchen grabbed Yuan Zhisheng and whispered in his ear, "Spread the word that I went to the airport with you to provide support!"

Genjiro looked puzzled. "What's this?"

Ye Jingchen patted his shoulder, "Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass."

"Understood." Yuan Zhisheng nodded again, ran to the Rolls-Royce, and drove off to the airport for rescue!

Seeing Yuan Zhisheng leave, Ye Jingchen approached Erii and took her hand, saying, "Erii, stay close to me and don't run around. I'll protect you."

Erii nodded, somewhat taken aback. She realized the problem might be serious, but she didn't know exactly how serious it was.

Ye Jingchen turned to look at Inuyama He, "Head of the Inuyama family, let's go, let's go to Genji Heavy Industries now!"

Inuyama He was a little puzzled, "Why don't we gather the clansmen first and escort the young lady to Genji Heavy Industries?"

"No, the fewer people who know, the better! To avoid alerting them." Ye Jingchen turned to Shijinzi, "You go get the car, we'll leave here in your car!"

"Ah, me?" Sezuko hadn't expected to be involved in such an important matter, and she pointed incredulously at her face.

Ye Jingchen nodded, "Yes, you'll be the driver. I'll make your dream come true. Didn't I take your driver's job last time?"

Setsuko: "..."

Sezuko acted as the driver, Inuyama He was the co-driver, and Ye Jingchen and Erii were in the back seat, heading to Genji Heavy Industries.

Ye Jingchen comforted the anxious Erii, then turned to look at his own eyes in the rearview mirror.

"You have your clever strategies, and I have my own ways to get over the wall."
