"We have supported Dong Mingshu from Tianhai City for so long, why was he arrested by the inspection team overnight? Could it be that you idiots who are responsible for connecting with Dong Mingshu don't know the inside story?"
After the questioning, someone finally spoke.
"Lord Sasaki, the arrest of Dong Mingshu happened so suddenly that even our top cultivators hiding in the Zhao family have been completely captured!"
"Yes, Lord Sasaki, what happened in Tianhai City was too sudden, and we were caught off guard. Now that many days have passed, we still haven't figured out what happened..."
"… "
Those people kneeling on the ground started to speak one after another.
After hearing what they said, the anger on Sasaki Uchimi's face became even more intense.
"Baka!"
"So, you didn't know anything about the situation and just ran back here in disgrace?"
"Tianhai City is an important step for us to enter the Xiaguo market! You actually... shame on me!"
"I am ashamed of your cowardice! You are bringing shame to our Black Dragon Society!"
Sasaki Utsumi cursed loudly.
The people kneeling in front of him dared not say a word, but just kowtowed continuously.
After cursing for a while, Sasaki Utsumi's anger was almost gone.
Then, he waved his hand and said impatiently: "I will give you three days to investigate the details of why Dong Mingshu was arrested. Otherwise, I want you to commit suicide in front of me!"
As soon as Sasaki Uchiumi finished speaking, those people immediately started cheering and kowtowed to each other.
"Go away!"
Sasaki Utsumi waved his hand and blasted them out of the castle hall.
Then, he held his forehead, looked worried, and muttered to himself.
"What on earth is going on? I have been planning in Tianhai City for several years. Why did Dong Mingshu, whom I personally supported, end up in ruins overnight?"
"There were no signs or anything unusual, but Dong Mingshu just got caught. Who did this..."
Just as Sasaki Uchimi was muttering to himself, the door of the castle hall was opened.
Sasaki Uchimi didn't even raise his head and asked directly: "My dear daughter, why are you here?"
In response to Sasaki Utsumi's question, Nozomi Sasaki, who tiptoed into the room, stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"Father, how did you know it was me?"
Hearing this, Sasaki Uchimi put away the sad expression on his face.
With a look of doting on her face, she said, "Silly child, in this hall, who else except you dares to come in without knocking?"
"Father is so smart!"
Nozomi Sasaki walked in small floral steps and came in front of Sasaki Utsumi with flattering words.
"You don't have to say sweet words in front of me. What's the matter?"
Sasaki Uchimi saw through her at a glance and asked straight to the point.
Nozomi Sasaki said coquettishly: "Father, what do you think about the matter I mentioned before?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Sasaki Uchimi's face suddenly froze.
His face looked a little unhappy.
"Kid, the Qinghe Pharmaceutical you mentioned has considerable influence in Tianhai City. According to my estimation, if we want to take over the market in Tianhai City, we have to cooperate with them."
"So, we can't break off relations with them until we completely take over Tianhai City, or even the market in Xia Country."
"I'm sorry, just bear with it for a while..."
Sasaki Utsumi stopped talking here.
Because Nozomi Sasaki wasn't listening at all.
Instead, he was looking at the information on the low table.
"My dear daughter, what are you looking at?" Sasaki Utsumi asked puzzledly.
Nozomi Sasaki pointed to the table and said, "Father, why do you have a photo of Qin Hao here?"
Hearing this, Sasaki Utsumi frowned and looked in the direction of Sasaki Nozomi's finger.
I saw a photo placed on the pile of messy documents on the table.
The person in the photo is Qin Hao!
"He is Qin Hao? He is the chairman of Qinghe Pharmaceutical, Qin Hao?"
Sasaki Utsumi's expression suddenly turned ugly.
Realizing that his father's face looked wrong, Nozomi Sasaki hurriedly said, "He is Qin Hao, father, what's wrong with you?"
Sasaki Utsumi waved his hand.
"Child, I have now agreed to your requests for this period of time."
Hearing this, Nozomi Sasaki was stunned.
Then, he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Father, why is this happening? Are you planning to give up the market in Tianhai City?"
"If it is because of my daughter's willfulness that forces you to give up the market in Tianhai City, then I am willing to continue to endure it!"
Nozomi Sasaki knelt down and kowtowed to Sasaki Utsumi sincerely.
In her opinion, the sudden change in her father's attitude was not a good thing...
However, she couldn't figure out where she had gotten into trouble again.
So, he began by performing a great ceremony.
This is what they mean, the more courtesy you give, the less blame you will get.
However, Sasaki Utsumi did not intend to blame Sasaki Nozomi.
He just said coldly: "It has nothing to do with your willfulness."
"It's just that I suddenly figured out something."
Hearing this, Nozomi Sasaki hurriedly asked, "Father, can you tell me what happened? So that I can feel at ease."
Sasaki Uchimi nodded and said, "A few days ago, the forces I was hiding in Tianhai City were uprooted. These things on the table are all the information I sent people to collect in the past few days."
"Originally, these materials were disorganized, but when you pointed to that photo just now, it suddenly made me understand."
"I know what happened in Tianhai City, and I know why Dong Mingshu was defeated!"
"Why?"
Nozomi Sasaki was confused by what she heard, but she didn't forget to ask this question.
Because this will make it seem like she is listening carefully.
"Because... him!"
Sasaki Utsumi stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Hao's photo.
"He is the only person in Tianhai City who is capable of defeating Dong Mingshu!"
Hearing what Sasaki Uchiumi said, Nozomi Sasaki frowned tightly.
"Father, I understand what you mean."
"But, my daughter didn't expect that Qin Hao's strength is so strong. Now, even if my daughter returns to Tianhai City to seek revenge on him, I'm afraid that she will only bring shame upon herself, right?"
Nozomi Sasaki's tone was filled with hatred.
She really didn't expect that Qin Hao was so powerful that he could directly get rid of Dong Mingshu, a capable subordinate of her father.
After hearing what Nozomi Sasaki said, Sasaki Utsumi shook his head.
"Remember, you are the eldest daughter of the Black Dragon Society. You don't need to take revenge yourself!"
"You also need to know that in this world, there are always stronger people among the strong."
