Chapter 326 Darkness Multiplies Strength Tenfold, Can Sawamura Spencer Eriri Still Make a Comeback?
Great Ming Dynasty, Forbidden City.
"What did you say?"
Li Dingguo's loud voice directly startled the person on the other end of the phone. Then the person on the other end said helplessly, "General Li, it's like this. The British royal family seems to be planning to make a move against His Majesty Emperor Shengzong. So I wanted to ask if we need to warn Britain."
"You're asking me about this? Call His Majesty yourself and ask!"
The person on the other end of the phone was also a bit helpless at being scolded by Li Dingguo. "General Li, if we dared to call that one, we wouldn't be calling you now. Obviously, you have a better relationship with that one and can speak to him."
"You bunch of cowards. Is His Majesty that scary? You don't even dare to make a phone call to ask?"
The person on the other end didn't even know what to say anymore, 'Whether he's scary or not, don't you know in your heart?'
Although everyone in Great Ming worshipped Emperor Shengzong as an idol, very few had the courage to actually interact with this idol. It was like how lions in a zoo are very popular, but who would dare to dance with a lion?
So, apart from Li Dingguo and Qin Liangyu, no one else had Hakuto's contact information. As for the others, even if they knew Hakuto's contact information, not a single one dared to contact him. After cursing for a while, Li Dingguo said, "Alright, alright. I'll take care of this."
After hanging up the phone, Li Dingguo then dialed the phone number Hakuto had left. Soon, the call was answered.
Compared to how he had been with the person on the other end of the phone earlier, Li Dingguo now was completely different. If earlier Li Dingguo had been an old rascal and scoundrel, now he was a refined general.
"Your Majesty, we have received information that Britain, because of some things you said earlier, plans to have the Great Ming government arrest you and hand you over to Britain for trial."
Hakuto immediately became interested. He could guess with his butt that this was probably Sawamura Spencer Eriri's idea, because Hakuto didn't think Arthur would do such a thing.
Although he had only interacted with him for less than half an hour, Hakuto had already figured out Arthur's personality: a rigid knight who followed the chivalric code.
So he would never use such petty tricks. But Sawamura Spencer Eriri was different. According to the intelligence from Akita Kazuo, Hakuto already knew that Sawamura Spencer Eriri was no longer the same Sawamura Spencer Eriri as before. She had already darkened.
But Hakuto didn't care. So what if Sawamura Spencer Eriri had darkened? Could she still turn the world upside down? Hakuto couldn't imagine any possibility of him failing.
So even if Sawamura Spencer Eriri's darkness made her ten times stronger, Hakuto still didn't take her seriously.
"What does Great Ming plan to do? Follow Britain's request and arrest me, or something else? Personally, I'm quite looking forward to someone arresting me. How about satisfying my expectation?"
Li Dingguo on the other end of the phone was a bit speechless, but he knew Hakuto's personality well, so he didn't take it to heart and continued, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has directly rejected Britain. But because this matter involves Your Majesty, those cowards asked me to let Your Majesty know and inquire if Your Majesty has any instructions."
"Do what needs to be done. Tell them that in the future, there's no need to report such small matters to me. Let them decide for themselves. They should be able to judge for themselves what needs to be reported to me and what doesn't."
Then Hakuto directly hung up the phone.
On the other side, Li Dingguo sighed, "His Majesty's temper is really much better now. In the old days, what kind of joke was Britain? His Majesty would have already wiped out nine generations of their clan."
On the other side, Hakuto also received news that Aki Tomoya had been killed. He also learned that Sawamura Spencer Eriri planned to leave Japan and return to Britain.
This surprised Hakuto a bit. He hadn't expected Sawamura Spencer Eriri to improve so much, knowing that staying in Japan would be using her weakness against his strength, so she planned to leave and return to Britain.
However, Hakuto had a feeling that Sawamura Spencer Eriri probably wouldn't leave Japan so easily. She was probably trying to make a big splash before leaving. Most likely, she would send people to attack Hakuto's loved ones.
And the result was exactly as Hakuto had thought. Before leaving Japan, Sawamura Spencer Eriri sent people on suicide missions to attack Hakuto's loved ones.
But unfortunately, these people couldn't even get within one kilometer of Hakuto's people. They were all stopped by the Yamaguchi-gumi's members Hakuto had arranged, and then either killed or captured. As for their fate, it depended on whether they were useful.
As for Sawamura Spencer Eriri, Hakuto did not stop her from leaving.
After Sawamura Spencer Eriri left Japan, Hakuto said to Sayuri, "Well, what I promised you, I have done. I have let Sawamura Spencer Eriri leave Japan."
Sayuri looked at Hakuto and said, "This is the last thing I do for her as a mother. From now on, there is no more relationship between me and Sawamura Spencer Eriri."
[Sawamura Sayuri used herself as a bargaining chip to ask me to let Sawamura Spencer Eriri leave. That's fine. I don't have time to play properly with Sawamura Spencer Eriri right now anyway. I still have the Dark Cooking Society and the Restoration Society to deal with. After these matters are settled, I will play with Sawamura Spencer Eriri properly.]
[After all, getting rid of Sawamura Spencer Eriri like this would be too boring. How could I possibly kill Sawamura Spencer Eriri without torturing her to the point of collapse? If Sawamura Sayuri knew that letting me kill Sawamura Spencer Eriri now would actually save her from suffering, I wonder if she would regret it later. But what does that have to do with me? I have already done what I promised.]
[But Sawamura Sayuri is really stupid. Whatever, this deal is not a loss for me.]
