Chapter 659: Chapter 658: A Storm is Brewing
"Thud!"
Nord’s body was thrown from the car.
The car started, turned around on the spot, and headed back in the direction it had come from.
After extracting all the information Nord knew, Umekawa Taro personally ended his life and filmed the execution, logging into Boss Tang’s account to post the video on the Underworld Forum.
"Following the Sun Family, the surviving members of the International Madman continue their path of vengeance without pause, swearing to fight the Sky Net Organization to the death, to claim back their blood debt!"
With the post’s release, the Underworld Forum naturally stirred up another wave of commotion.
Discussions about the International Madman and Sky Net surged continuously.
As for Madman King Tang who, following his taking down of Lawrence, had climbed into the ranks of the Divine List, was once again pushed to the top of the hot search.
...
"Hmph, playing the personal hero, disregarding the greater good, selfish and self-serving!"
In Divine Continent, Imperial City, Qin Yanyang received the internal news and immediately browsed the Underworld Forum. Glancing over discussions with phrases like ’Madman King’ and ’Boss Tang,’ she scanned a few before refusing to click on any new posts.
A touch of dissatisfaction appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
She had originally thought that after Grandfather had called Yang Fei to talk about the Fusang Wood matter, Yang Fei would head straight to Yunwu Mountain’s Base to upgrade the formation, considering it was a matter concerning the future of Divine Continent.
However, Yang Fei did not go to Yunwu Mountain’s Base.
Not only that, but this guy had actually gone to Korea to help those tycoons stir up trouble.
Didn’t he know how sensitive it would be for someone of his identity to get involved in such matters?
Even if he wasn’t spoken about by people from other countries, it could still potentially bring him criticism back home.
Moreover, now he was actually off to avenge what he called the International Madman’s deep-seated grudge from two years ago.
Qin Yanyang silently fumed for a while, then tried to calm herself, forcing herself to cool down.
They were at odds, about to divorce, and yet, why was she still so easily agitated by this scoundrel?
No.
Qin Yanyang, you must not let this scoundrel affect your emotions.
She then took out her phone and dialed Duanmu Wugou’s number. Once he answered, she said, "Senior, please come to Imperial City. The authorities have discussed a decision and need to talk to you about a cooperative matter face to face."
...
"Hey, boss, how can you handle such an important matter as avenging our brothers alone? I’m heading back to join the team right now. Where are you?"
On the way back to London, Yang Fei received three consecutive phone calls.
They were from Jones, Jie Er, and Jamie, respectively.
Having learned about Yang Fei’s actions through the Underworld Forum, they contacted him immediately.
The call at the moment was from Jamie.
"Is the trouble with your family resolved?" Yang Fei asked.
"Sort of resolved, yeah. The enemy hasn’t made a move, and it’s pointless for me to stay at home," Jamie said.
Yang Fei frowned slightly.
Last time, including Li Xuanyu and Umekawa Taro, members of the International Madman Organization all encountered various problems at their homes.
It was then that the Sky Net targeted the International Madman, aiming at Yang Fei, to launch an encirclement operation and even set a trap with Umekawa Taro’s incident, trying to trigger a martial world war between Divine Continent Country and Japan.
But that time, the incident was interfered with by Chiba Susumu, the Guardian God from Penglai; plus, when Yamamoto Rentu (Sun Xingyu) woke up, he was gravely injured by Yang Fei and Chiba Susumu, among others, leading to the cancellation of the plans to incite a martial world war between the two countries.
Since then, there had been a period of peace.
Now that he had resumed the path of revenge with Umekawa Taro and the three from the Xu Family and had killed Nord, causing quite a stir in the Underworld, he didn’t expect that the families of Jones, Jie Er, and Jamie seemed still very peaceful, as if the Sky Net Organization that targeted their families no longer existed.
Was Sky Net, touted as the strongest organization in the Underworld in recent years, really so powerless?
Yang Fei found it somewhat suspicious.
Umekawa Taro also felt that Sky Net’s response was too slow.
This uncharacteristic silence instead made them feel uneasy.
"Jamie, my advice is to observe for a few days. Of course, you, along with Jie Er and Jones, your identities as International Madman Organization members must have been exposed to Sky Net by now, so you should also be careful about your personal safety. If in a few days Sky Net hasn’t taken any action against your families, then you can return to our ranks, and we will avenge our fallen brothers and sisters together," Yang Fei repeated his advice previously given to Jie Er and Jones to Jamie.
Jamie decisively accepted Yang Fei’s suggestion.
Putting away his phone, a hint of confusion appeared between Yang Fei’s brows.
Umekawa Taro said, "I have the feeling that something big is going to happen."
Yang Fei glanced at him, "What could it be?"
Umekawa Taro slowly shook his head, "I don’t know, but I always feel that Sky Net’s quietness since the previous actions is a bit off."
Yang Fei nodded silently.
Xu Yunshan couldn’t help but say, "According to the information obtained from Nord’s mouth, although Sky Net does not belong to Heaven, in reality, it is a force that was supported and raised by Heaven. After their plan to provoke a war between the Divine Continent Country and Japan failed last time, could it be that Heaven felt there was still a problem with their communication with Japan and therefore suspended a series of plans?"
Xu Liangyou followed up, "My brother’s analysis makes sense. Mr. Yang, young Master Umekawa, perhaps you should consider the actions of Sky Net in conjunction with Heaven. According to the information Nord revealed, Heaven is also about to take major action. In our words, Heaven is about to make a grand entrance into the world. In front of such a big event, the grudges between Sky Net and the International Madman seem insignificant."
Xu Xiao nodded in agreement.
A gleam flashed in the eyes of Yang Fei and Umekawa Taro.
Indeed, the two of them had only considered the issue from the perspective of the feud between the International Madman and Sky Net.
Now, prompted by the Xu brothers, it was like a sudden enlightenment.
Considering Sky Net’s style of laying out arrangements in secrecy all over the globe since its establishment, it was evident that Heaven was guiding all this from behind the scenes to ensure greater global influence and negotiation power when Heaven enters the world.
And now, the world’s situation had changed tremendously due to Korea and Japan’s attitudes towards the Federation Soldiers.
From this, it wasn’t hard to infer that the cooperation between Penglai and Heaven might not be so strong after all.
Therefore, Heaven had to treat the matter with caution, choosing to hold back temporarily.
Or perhaps, they were brewing a tremendous storm.
With these speculations in mind, Yang Fei said, "Never mind that for now. Let’s return to the castle and see if Edward Hughes is still there. We should be able to get more useful information from him."
Umekawa Taro nodded, "Right, we can also check Sky Net’s reaction."
Xu Xiao looked out the car window and suddenly said, "Perhaps this world is really about to experience a drastic change."
Yang Fei and the others couldn’t help but look at him.
Xu Xiao said, "The actions of Korea and Japan are already igniting a spark. If it turns out like the legends say, and Heaven, the Hidden Sect, and Penglai of the Three Realms cannot maintain peace, forcing them to make a grand entrance into the world, then such an event could be upon us."
Xu Liangyou nodded, "Yes, I also feel a sense of foreboding, like a storm brewing on the horizon. It seems that Heaven’s steps into the world will be faster and more direct than those of the Hidden Sect and Penglai."
"Once Heaven makes its move, neither the Hidden Sect nor Penglai can afford to wait any longer," Xu Xiao said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei tensed up.
If the Hidden Sect makes a grand move into the world, the power shifts within Divine Continent will inevitably cause a huge reaction. With Qin Yanyang and the backing of the Qin Family at the heart of the situation, will they be able to transition smoothly?
