"Last night, a fire broke out at the Hilton Osaka. Most guests managed to escape, but six travelers lost their lives. It has just been confirmed that the six victims were executives from Sunshine Corporation in Japan. This incident marks the third time recently that executives from Sunshine Corporation have been killed. The company held a press conference this morning, stating that this was purely a coincidence and an accident. Nevertheless, the relatives of the victims from the Tokyo Incident have gathered outside the hotel to celebrate," Yang Xiaoyou said, watching the news with a deadpan expression as he took a bite of noodles from his bowl.
Well, this should be considered the last operation for now. Before finalizing negotiations with the other party, he seized the opportunity to carry out one more action, serving as both a prompt and a warning to the organization.
Although both sides had truly reached an impasse, the organization found itself unable to counter Hive Security Company in the short term. They had just suffered a setback, and their capable fighters at Momentum Level had taken heavy losses. While there were still many fighters available, most were tied up with their own missions and could not be easily mobilized. After all, with such a large organization, there were many demands to meet.
Using surrounding soft power would only lead to direct confrontation with the enemy.
Without fully understanding the situation, they likely wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Meanwhile, Hive Security Company had gained some breathing room due to a series of retaliatory actions.
In light of various factors involving the Middle East and Thor, what Hive Security Company needed was time!
For Hive Security Company, every minute gained meant an expansion of their influence and an increase in their resources!
It was important to note that while the organization had seemingly halted its actions on the surface, if they decided to target Hive Security Company again in the future, they would likely consider all aspects involved. At that point, it wouldn't simply be about charging in without strategy.
Just as this news segment ended, Yang Xiaoyou switched channels and unexpectedly saw Huang Wei's face on screen.
A glance at the column title revealed that it was related to students being interviewed as school resumed after winter break. Huang Wei's disheveled appearance had somehow made it onto the news—perhaps an attempt to appear more relatable.
After having dismissed this fellow previously, it seemed there was still some lingering grievance on his part. Now he wore a deeply aggrieved expression. When Yang Xiaoyou switched over, he caught the reporter asking if he was looking forward to returning to school.
The once eager student who had insisted on going back to school in Denmark now wore a sinister smile and replied to the reporter, "Can you blur my face?"
"Sure," came the reporter's response just as Huang Wei's face was obscured by a mosaic effect.
Without hesitation, he began venting his frustrations in a sleazy tone.
"I don't want to go back to school because my teacher has it out for me, some classmates smell bad, and there's also a gay guy sitting next to me."
Watching Huang Wei's face become fully visible again after being blurred momentarily made Yang Xiaoyou nearly spit out his noodles.
With Huang Wei's request for his face to be blurred, this cohort of students welcomed the final half-year at Yuying Middle School. Regardless of Yuying's prestigious status or how many within its ranks didn't need to worry about college entrance exams, each year brought about a national disaster film atmosphere that loomed over them all.
After all, compared to the Royal Academy of Basic Studies, students like Chen Hao's girlfriend, Huang Ling, ultimately still had to rely on this opportunity.
Yuying Middle School placed greater emphasis on liberating students' thoughts. Although their academic performance was quite excellent, not every student could enter a top-tier institution. In the final six months of intense preparation, they still had to maintain a tight grip on their studies.
At the same time, recent changes in the domestic situation had become somewhat subtle. The news of Ron's death had spread early within the country. While most people felt indifferent towards the royal family and even harbored some disdain, this matter concerning national dignity still left many citizens feeling quite dissatisfied.
During casual conversations over tea and meals, they would use this as a topic for banter while expressing considerable discontent towards the Kingdom of Denmark.
The Common Unity Party, a staunch anti-royalist faction, also made a rare public condemnation, suggesting that there was something suspicious about the fire and demanding accountability.
Additionally, there were new developments on the international front. Besides ongoing events in the Middle East and news of Britain beginning to acquire mecha technology from the United States, another incident had caught everyone's attention.
The Virus Incident that occurred in Greenland once again drew widespread scrutiny. The tragedy in Tokyo was still fresh in people's minds, with reconstruction efforts just beginning when another event of an entire city collapsing emerged.
Although Nuuk itself was a city and even a town, it was ultimately the capital of Greenland. There were vague reports suggesting that this virus seemed to be more contagious!
If this news were true, it would indeed be quite alarming.
Subsequently, seemingly taking advantage of the international turmoil, an armed uprising erupted in British India and escalated rapidly. Locals collaborated with Myanmar rebels; although they faced significant disadvantages in weaponry, their numbers were vast. They adopted guerrilla tactics that left the stationed British Far East Sixth Army feeling overwhelmed.
This outbreak diverged significantly from Yang Xiaoyou's memories of past events.
He recalled that at that time there were shadows of instigation from the Chinese Empire behind it all.
The Myanmar rebels had an unclear relationship with the Chinese Empire. Initially, after failing to negotiate with the arrogant British Empire to reclaim Hong Kong, they were calculatedly deemed unlikely to launch a forceful attack on Hong Kong for fear of destruction. Consequently, the Chinese Empire decisively sent troops into Myanmar with their sights set on India.
Ultimately, after creating an incident in Myanmar that directly undermined India's foundations, it forced that arrogant old empire to compromise.
The relationships among these parties were already chaotic; now with large-scale uprisings erupting in India, things had become even more muddled.
However, what drove Yang Xiaoyou most crazy was that his parents had chosen this moment to accompany their employer to India to film a documentary. "How to Survive Amidst War," airing weekly and achieving sky-high ratings, left Yang Xiaoyou feeling utterly speechless.
Everything had been temporarily set back on track, and now he had finally earned some time to rest. After so much hard work, regaining a period of peaceful living made him feel exceptionally satisfied.
The tense atmosphere before the college entrance examination had no effect on him whatsoever. Every time Qi Menglu saw him being so lazy, she would go crazy and drag him off to study.
They had fought over this more than once.
Moreover, she would occasionally bring in various helpers, like her father, who was obsessed with daughters, and Feng Lin, who often joined the team to take down Yang Xiaoyou.
"Hmph, put in some effort! What are you doing? You actually got a guaranteed spot at a military academy? Absolutely not! You need to study properly!" Like an angry cat, Qi Menglu grabbed Yang Xiaoyou by the collar while he lay on the sofa pretending to be dead, shaking him back and forth.
On the other side, Feng Lin was also giving Yang Xiaoyou a sideways glance while staring at him with wide eyes. Back then, when Yang Xiaoyou had come in such poor shape, it took her quite a while to whip him into shape—cough cough, to help him recover. It seemed she was still a bit annoyed about it.
However, judging by her expression, it was hard to tell whether she was truly angry or not.
Seeing their reactions and hearing Qi Menglu's words made Yang Xiaoyou feel both amused and exasperated. Originally, he hadn't been aiming for a guaranteed spot at a military academy; it was Qi Menglu's father who had secretly pulled some strings to get him in.
Both families had elders with military backgrounds and naturally held special feelings toward military academies. Although he understood this, Yang Xiaoyou never expected to be sold out in front of Menglu.
Just then, his phone rang at the most inopportune moment.
As soon as the phone rang, Yang Xiaoyou instinctively moved it away. At that very moment, a sword sheath flew through the air and landed precisely where his phone had been, embedding itself into the ground.
The culprit behind this attack, Feng Lin, innocently raised her palm. With a completely indifferent expression, she said, "My hand slipped."
Yang Xiaoyou felt a vein throb on his forehead. Feng Lin had an extreme lack of coordination with phones and almost all technological devices; it was completely opposite to her mastery of swordsmanship. Dialing a number on a phone required both hands fumbling around awkwardly.
As for wanting the phone to be quiet? The measures taken...
With two subtle gazes directed at him, Yang Xiaoyou steeled himself and answered the call from Liu Lianyue right in front of them.
Well, due to the recent collaboration between the Liang Family, Hive Security Company, and Radicals against the Tongtang Party Headquarters, along with some benefits gained from the Red Dragon Incident, Liu Lianyue's situation was indeed much better than before. It seemed she now had significantly more manpower at her disposal.
In her final semester at school, she frequently took leave, skipped classes, or dozed off during lectures, presenting an image of a 'sickly sweet' girl that easily drew sympathy from others.
However, those who truly understood her nature, like Yang Xiaoyou, were well aware of the outrageous things she did behind the scenes.
"I swear, how many partners do you have?" As soon as she answered the phone, Yang Xiaoyou was met with a voice that was almost roaring.
Even the tone of the voice was loud enough for Qi Menglu and Feng Lin beside her to hear, and in an instant, she felt two icy glares sweep over her.
"Please, for the love of God, can you tone it down? Be a bit clearer; there's no way to wash this clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River!" Yang Xiaoyou hurriedly tried to remedy the situation in an almost frantic tone. Yet, Heart flashed through numerous thoughts—had this somewhat careless sister finally realized what she and Demoness had been doing right under her nose?
But it seemed that whenever they engaged in their antics in the Activity Room, there were always obstructions blocking the crucial parts. She had never noticed anything unusual in her expressions before.
"Zhang Liang! That Zhang Liang who was once ostracized by the Martial Arts Club. One of his juniors discovered his impressive skills and wanted to recruit him, but he wants to hear your opinion," Liu Lianyue on the other end finally began to piece together the cause of the matter.
Yet, as Yang Xiaoyou tried to grasp what exactly was going on, a dark line appeared on her forehead. "Your partner? Seriously?"
Thank you for your support; it is my greatest motivation.
