Xie Liheng, the Secretary-General of the Orthodox Alliance, was a person of exceptional intelligence. As soon as Ling Tian spoke, he understood Ling Tian's intention – he was hinting that he wanted to personally go to Wa Country for revenge!
Xie Liheng agreed without a second thought. The Orthodox Alliance genuinely couldn't spare anyone at the moment, and if Ling Tian could go for revenge himself, it would save the Orthodox Alliance a lot of trouble.
Especially concerning Ling Tian's strength and his ability to stir up trouble, Xie Liheng was extremely confident. If this fellow went to Wa Country, he would undoubtedly stir up a bloody storm.
Once Wa Country was thrown into chaos by Ling Tian, they would have no energy to interfere in China's affairs, which would greatly alleviate the burden on the Orthodox Alliance.
"Good, Ling Tian, you can go and do your best. Don't hold back, and don't have any reservations. If you need any help, just ask, and we will do our utmost to satisfy you!"
"Got it. With your words, old brother, I'm relieved. I don't need help in other aspects, but I do need intelligence. I hope you can provide me with information on the various forces in Wa Country, especially those that can threaten China. I will settle accounts with them properly. If they refuse to pay, I will make them disappear from this Earth!"
"Alright, you can check our secret email for contact. I'll have someone send you the relevant information!"
After discussing important matters, the two chatted for a while longer before Ling Tian hung up the phone.
...
In a luxurious Japanese suite at the Wa Airlines Grand Hotel in Modu City, two men and one woman sat upright in the reception room, discussing matters.
The man sitting in the main seat was in his early forties. He was Kawashima Masao, the president of Kawashima Pharmaceutical's Chinese company. He was also the only son of Kawashima Koichi, the president of Japan's Kawashima Zaibatsu.
At this moment, Kawashima Masao's gaze was lecherously fixed on the woman across the table. This woman had a graceful figure and a beautiful face, truly captivating with just a glance, capable of capturing the hearts of all male creatures.
This woman was none other than Yulia, one of the thirteen protectors of the crooked path. If Ling Tian were present, he would surely recognize her. This woman had suffered greatly at Ling Tian's hands. Back then, she had led a group from the crooked path to seek benefits on Hell Paradise Island, but by some twist of fate, she encountered Ling Tian. Originally, Yulia intended to use her charm to control Ling Tian, but she was instead counter-attacked by Ling Tian, who used a secret technique to control Yulia and force her to reveal everything she knew about the crooked path. In the end, Yulia fled, taking her subordinates back to her country. She thoroughly exposed the entire communication network of the crooked path and only breathed a sigh of relief after reorganizing it.
The young man sitting next to Yulia was Takagi Ryuubi, one of the newly appointed thirteen protectors of the crooked path, who possessed Japanese heritage! Today, these two had come to meet Kawashima Masao. They were about to conduct a business deal that would yield billions in returns. They had to take on such jobs because Yulia had another identity: the liaison for the crooked path. The members of the crooked path were very loosely organized in their daily lives, with most of them not knowing each other, including these protectors. Furthermore, apart from Yulia, none of the other protectors had ever met the leader of the crooked path. This was mainly for security reasons, as the more people who knew this secret, the easier it was for information to leak, and the more dangerous it would be for the leader of the crooked path. Therefore, when any orders needed to be conveyed within the crooked path, Yulia acted as the intermediary. It was precisely because of this that Yulia held a very special position within the crooked path. The reason they were out taking on business this time was due to financial necessity. Many members of the crooked path joined for profit, with the crooked path providing them with abundant cultivation resources, techniques, and money. While the crooked path was not without its resources and had accumulated considerable wealth over the years, expenses were now like flowing water. If they didn't find ways to open up new sources of income, they would eventually run out of resources. Thus, the leader of the crooked path ordered Yulia to take on some jobs and earn money to subsidize the crooked path. And so, today, Yulia had contacted people from the Kawashima Zaibatsu through various channels. Upon meeting, Kawashima Masao was captivated by Yulia's charm, and soon, the negotiation fell under Yulia's control. Kawashima Masao also readily revealed the purpose of their meeting: they needed the help of the crooked path to kidnap Wang Bingxia, the current chairman of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical! Kawashima Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. had long coveted Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's anti-cancer miracle drug, Ten Miles of Righteous Qi Soup. They wanted to obtain the formula and production process for this drug. Once they had this drug, Kawashima Pharmaceutical would truly soar. They had gone to great lengths to bribe some employees within Bing Tian Pharmaceutical and also bribed Section Chief Bu Yaolian of China's Pharmaceutical Administration. Finally, they obtained the formula and the vast majority of the production process for Ten Miles of Righteous Qi Soup. In recent times, Kawashima Pharmaceutical's Zhu family company had invested a significant amount of capital and effort in trying to replicate Ten Miles of Righteous Qi Soup, but ultimately, their efforts were in vain. They had tried numerous methods to replace the three most crucial ingredients in the drug, especially the Ling Yang Grass. However, no matter how they tried, the drugs they produced had an efficacy rate of no more than 20%. Even if there was some anti-cancer effect, it was far from the efficacy of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's product, Bing Tian Zheng Qi Tang. Despite Kawashima Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. recruiting a large number of relevant talents and offering substantial rewards to these researchers, it was useless. They were still a long way from replicating this product. In desperation, Kawashima Koichi decided to proceed with another plan: to kidnap Wang Bingxia and then coerce Bing Tian Pharmaceutical into handing over the complete formula and production process for Ten Miles of Righteous Qi Soup! They were well aware that such actions carried immense risk and could potentially implicate Kawashima Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Therefore, they would rather spend money and use intermediaries to carry out this task rather than doing it themselves. After all, if the matter were exposed, they would lose the entire Chinese market, which represented billions upon billions of yuan in annual losses!
