Du Guanghua urged himself deep down to take it easy, but losing hundreds of billions in assets due to a bet was something he could not accept. No matter how much he tried to convince himself, his heart was filled with an immense struggle and contradiction.
“Mr. Jiang, isn’t this bet a bit too much? Manager Du probably didn’t mean it. If he knew how formidable you are, he wouldn’t dare to gamble with you,” Xu Zhuzhu said, unable to hold back her concern for Du Guanghua, who looked utterly defeated.
“Actually, if Manager Du doesn’t want to honor the bet, that’s fine too. He can just accompany the Eastern Deity instead. Manager Du, the path is laid out before you; you can choose for yourself,” Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
“I have always believed in keeping my word in business. Since I lost, I will naturally accept it. Rest assured, Mr. Jiang,” Du Guanghua quickly replied, trying to maintain an air of dignity.
“Since Manager Du has said so, then that’s perfect. Alright, this matter is settled; let’s go,” Jiang Chen stated.
As Jiang Chen and his companions left the valley, they returned to the entrance of the Mount Buddha scenic area by evening. At that moment, the entrance was guarded by hundreds of soldiers from the Island Nation, as such a significant incident had just occurred there, and they were preventing tourists from entering to avoid any accidents.
After leaving the scenic area, Jiang Chen and Tengye Kikuko took a car to the airport and then boarded a flight back to Kyoto. They had a simple meal before Jiang Chen returned to the hotel to rest while Tengye Kikuko went home.
As for Du Guanghua, Xu Zhuzhu, and Qian Xinyi, they didn’t even stop for a meal; they hurriedly bought tickets and flew back to Huaxia from Hokkaido that very night. This trip to the Island Nation had left them in shock, especially Du Guanghua, who had lost everything and just wanted to return to Huaxia as soon as possible.
That night, television media began reporting on the news from Mount Buddha, but they merely presented the events as a normal volcanic eruption.
The next day passed without incident as Jiang Chen set off back to Huaxia. He had achieved his goal during this trip to the Island Nation. He had found one of the Seven Divine Artifacts; the remaining six artifacts were likely not in the Island Nation anymore. If they were there, the Takeda Family would certainly know about it. According to Takeda Kyoko, her father had been searching for other artifacts for many years without any leads. Therefore, Jiang Chen was not inclined to waste any more time in the Island Nation. With so many countries on Earth and considering that Huaxia had been in turmoil over a hundred years ago, many treasures had ended up overseas—especially in Europe. Jiang Chen was certain that some artifacts must have found their way there.
Jiang Chen returned safely to Huaxia.
At Shanghai Airport, Ye Ming came to pick him up. On their way back to the villa, Jiang Chen briefly mentioned his gains from the Island Nation. Ye Ming was surprised; he hadn’t expected his master’s abilities were so great.
After spending a night in Shanghai, Jiang Chen headed to Hangcheng. He needed to discuss matters regarding taking over Du’s assets with Yue Hui in person, so he didn’t go directly back to Nangang.
At Hangcheng High-Speed Railway Station, Yue Hui came to meet Jiang Chen. Tengye Kikuko had already informed Yue Hui about what Jiang Chen had done in the Island Nation; thus he was not surprised.
“Mr. Jiang, Du Guanghua from Shenzhen has already contacted me. He is willing to transfer all his assets to me. According to the billionaire rankings, Manager Du’s net worth is just over two hundred billion; however, much of it is tied up in stocks and investments and is difficult to liquidate. In the short term, he can only cash out several billion. Since Manager Du has lost all his wealth to you, why not take over his company directly? His investment firm has good potential for growth; it’s a company that can yield returns for a long time,” Yue Hui suggested.
