Chapter 379: The Operation Begins
"Let me tell you a short story..." Lulu looked at everyone's eyes, ran her finger along the back of Bai Lin's hand, and said calmly:
"There is a group of wealthy people who have accumulated vast fortunes over the past few centuries. Even if they deposited this wealth in a bank at the lowest interest rate, it would still ensure that their descendants live a life of luxury and comfort. What do you think they are most afraid of?"
Qiqi and Youxi exchanged a glance. Neither of them were born into wealthy families, nor had they received any financial education. This question was clearly outside their area of knowledge.
So Bai Lin thought for a moment and replied, "I'm afraid of turmoil that would wipe out this wealth, or that changes in the times would turn valuable assets into bubbles... or that a scoundrel among my descendants would squander the family fortune in just a few years..."
Lulu said, "Pretty much. In the Muggle world, super-rich people usually hire family trusts to let professionals manage their family wealth. In the European magical world, the Ross family is their family trust."
House Rothschild will stop at nothing to maintain peace in Europe and protect the wealth of the Seekers family, and the Death Eaters, the Hastur Church, and the Ship of Light are all disruptors of peace or potential threats.
Lulu paused, then glanced at Bai Lin with her beautiful eyes and said, "Besides, Cousin Kaili is also a member of this family, and I'm planning to invest a lot of money in him. Helping him is also helping myself."
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances, Youxi pouted and muttered, "You're just after his body, aren't you..."
After digressing a bit, Lulu turned the conversation to the operation. She would be directly involved in the operation as Bai Lin's assistant, while her subordinates would hold off the Light Ship and the reinforcements from the US Ministry of Magic in the South Pacific region. Bai Lin then deployed the operation plan.
After receiving the order, Qiqi went ahead first. Her tactical squad needed to transport rune equipment, which was quite troublesome. After Yuxi obtained the excellent magic wand "Focus" which was like being forged from obsidian, her strength naturally increased greatly. She gathered ten capable wizards and acted together with Bai Lin and Lulu.
Surprisingly, Hiroyuki Edogawa teleported back. For the past few months, he had been operating in Japan, searching for Eko Fujiwara and hoping to win her over. However, things didn't go as planned, and he missed her several times, or perhaps Eko Fujiwara was intentionally avoiding him.
"Brother Bai!" Hiroyuki Edogawa's Mandarin was much more fluent than it had been a few months ago, and it was hard to detect his Hong Kong accent. He was clearly pleasantly surprised to see Bai Lin and warmly stepped forward, saying, "Is there any operation planned? Can I help?"
Bai Lin's eyes lit up. In his eyes, it was easy to see that Edogawa's magic power was growing rapidly, and he was definitely no weaker than Harry, the chosen one of the planes.
Despite his unfortunate background, Harry is actually protected by many good people who do so unconditionally.
Hiroyuki Edogawa, however, was not so lucky. Not only did he have a tragic past and no one to care for him, but even his only sister turned to the dark side. It was truly a miserable life for Edogawa. So it is all the more admirable that he was able to remain optimistic and persevere.
"Ha, this big deal is also related to you..." Bai Lin thought of Fujiwara Eiko, and he had a vague premonition that this woman might be the key to destroying the "Ship of Light".
The next day, as agreed, Bai Lin arrived at the church square outside the Songjiang Executive Department. Only two days had passed, and his personal library already contained more than ten thousand volumes. The place had miraculously returned to its former prosperity, with large numbers of Eastern monks attending services.
Bai Lin was speechless. Those golden-haired devils almost wiped you out, and you still come to the church to ask God for protection? Did you cry at the wrong grave and worship the wrong god?
However, he couldn't do anything about these cheerful believers. Listening to a group of children dressed like princesses and princes from fairy tales holding hands and singing hymns, Bai Lin felt quite uncomfortable.
"You must be feeling really sad..." Zhang Xuanyi's voice suddenly came from beside Bai Lin. Bai Lin turned his head and saw him holding a cigarette without a filter in his mouth, his figure appearing not far away.
Bai Lin shrugged. The West's infiltration of the East has been going on for a long time, and this is not a problem he should be concerned with now. Moreover, he saw a lot of hope in Yan Nishuang and Zhang Xuanyi.
Perhaps the transmission of Eastern magic has been interrupted for many years, giving people the illusion that Western magic is "more effective and advanced." However, as these young Eastern sorcerers become more powerful, they will surely be able to change people's perception of Eastern magic.
"You've already seen the intelligence, haven't you..." Bai Lin said. Yesterday, Youxi had already sent an encrypted letter to Zhang Xuanyi. There aren't many owls in the East; most mages use pigeons. However, the Supreme Council gave their two teams special messengers—Azure Hawks—which are more efficient.
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and several shadows surged from the shadows of the trees behind him, appearing beside him. They were four fully armed battle mages, their eyes the only visible part of their bodies. Their tight-fitting robes were exquisite and ancient, clearly not ordinary items.
"Take down Fujiwara Ichiura, and this time I'll follow your orders!" Zhang Xuanyi said solemnly. Hearing his statement, Bai Lin looked at him with even higher regard. If he were petty and not only disobeyed orders but also tried to steal credit from him, it would definitely cause unforeseen risks.
Bai Lin nodded, and You Qian had already taken out an old oar. The group exchanged glances, placed their hands on the oar, and instantly disappeared in front of the church. The passing mages paid no attention; what was so special about teleportation magic? The Lord's summons was more important.
It's only about 500 kilometers from Songgang Province to Jeju Island, but crossing those 500 kilometers is not easy. Under the manipulation of the United States, the International Wizarding Federation has set up very powerful magical interference and monitoring facilities along the maritime border between the East and South Korea and Japan. Therefore, when Bai Lin went to Japan for the first time, he had to take a commercial airliner. However, this time, they chose a method that was not officially recognized, which can be called smuggling.
After experiencing a rollercoaster-like teleportation, the group quickly regained their footing as soon as they were free. They were all seasoned veterans, and they couldn't afford to stumble and lose face right after setting off.
They appeared on a very old fishing boat. Under the sunlight, the sea was sparkling and beautiful. Many fishing boats were casting their nets and slowly moving forward.
Lulu and the mages chosen by Yuxi had been waiting on the ship for a long time. In just a few tens of minutes, Lulu had obviously gained considerable prestige in the group. The hostility of the Eastern mages towards this red-haired girl had completely disappeared.
This ordinary fishing boat was also arranged by Lulu, allowing it to cross the sea blockade without anyone noticing and without triggering any magical monitoring alarms.
While the fishing boats themselves could be detected by Muggle radar, this was international waters and generally would not attract the attention of the South Korean or the United States.
