Third Brother said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Yeah, who says we're not good friends?"

After the price was settled, Tiezhu opened the door to the lower cabin, "Come out, we've arrived!"

The people from the lower cabin staggered out, each with a pallid face as if they had been mauled by dozens of men. The conditions inside were already unbearable, to say nothing of the storm they had weathered in the middle of the journey. It was remarkable they could still stand.

Under the direction of Mr. Oshima and Third Brother, seven people climbed into the small vessel one after the other, and finally, Ling Feng and his two companions followed suit.

"Mr. Qian, it's been a pleasure working together!" Mr. Oshima warmly embraced Third Brother and then said, "We're heading back now!"

After the Self-Defense Forces' vessel left, Tiezhu spat out vigorously, "Damn it, just for getting people on shore, he charges six hundred thousand, why doesn't he just rob people?"

Third Brother glanced at Tiezhu indifferently and said, "What can you do when someone has connections? If I could latch onto other networks, I would have kicked that fatso to the curb long ago!"

While saying that, Third Brother let out a breath, "Let's go, brothers, let's find a place to enjoy ourselves."

On the Self-Defense Forces' vessel, the ten stowaways were confined in a small room.

But the smell of the other seven was simply too nauseating, and the tiny room was instantly filled with indescribably foul odors.

"So disgusting!" Chen Ying hid behind Ling Feng, her face full of disgust.

The others looked at Ling Feng, with anger and fear in their eyes. Remembering Ling Feng's previous attacks on them, they wished they could flay him alive.

Despite this, a sense of panic and unease surfaced on everyone's faces. They were about to arrive in Fusang, and their future there, whether they could find a second chance at life, was unknown to anyone!

Mr. Oshima was very happy. He had been responsible for the human smuggling connections not just for a year or two, and he always made a hefty profit with minimal effort.

As for whether these stowaways would cause any damage to Fusang, he scoffed at the idea. How could people who couldn't even survive in their own country suddenly thrive in a foreign land? What a joke!

Moreover, he was well aware of the unrest within Fusang recently. In other words, it was a luxury for these stowaways to be alive to see the sun the next day.

Just by making a trip, he could earn six hundred thousand – this made Mr. Oshima immensely happy. Now in Fusang Country, the economic growth was not doing well; it was said that many companies were going bankrupt, and lots of unemployed people were protesting.

"Lieutenant, trouble!" Just then, a soldier ran over in a panic, "A cruise ship is approaching and demanding that we stop!"

Mr. Oshima's face turned as he scornfully glanced at the soldier, "You idiot, we are the Maritime Self-Defense Forces of the Great Fusang Empire, we are noble warriors, why should we make way for a cruise ship? You're disgracing the honor of our empire's warriors!"

Bowing his head, the soldier replied, "But Lieutenant... that cruise ship belongs to the Inoue Family!"

Mr. Oshima's eyes bulged, "Sss!" It was the Inoue Family's cruise ship!

The Inoue Family, one of the Three Great Families of Fusang, had been somewhat declining in recent years, but it was still an enormous existence compared to Mr. Oshima!

"Why would the Inoue Family want to stop us?" Mr. Oshima was sweating profusely as he racked his brain trying to recall if he had offended anyone recently.

But as far as he could remember, aside from taking upskirt photos of girls on the bus and installing cameras in the bathhouse to peep on female soldiers, he hadn't done anything else!

"Lieutenant, what should we do now...?" the soldier asked tentatively.

Mr. Oshima shuddered with anger, "Do I need to teach you? Get over there now! That's the Inoue Family..."

The ship slowly approached the yacht, and a tall man emerged from the yacht. He leaped from the yacht and landed heavily on the ship.

"Where is the person in charge of this ship?" the man asked indifferently.

At that moment, Mr. Oshima hurriedly came out. Upon seeing the tall man, a chill ran through his heart! The man before him was actually the strongest warrior of the Inoue Family, Inoue Ten!

"Are you the person responsible for this ship?" Inoue Ten glanced at Mr. Oshima and then said, "Then please bring our Miss out!"

Mr. Oshima was stunned. With a pained expression, he said, "Lord Inoue Ten, everyone on our ship is a military man; there are no women at all, let alone a young lady from the Inoue Family. Could you have made a mistake?"

Inoue Ten gave him a look and said, "What about those people who just smuggled from Huaxia?"

Sweat streamed down Mr. Oshima's face as he said with a pained expression, "My lord, I was wrong! I shouldn't have colluded with Huaxia to smuggle people. I am guilty! Please, don't..."

With a thud, Inoue Ten kicked Mr. Oshima to the ground. "I couldn't care less whether you smuggle people or not. Among those you smuggled this time, there should be two women, right?"

"Two women among the stowaways?" Mr. Oshima slapped his forehead. "Yes, yes, indeed there were two women!"

Saying so, Mr. Oshima quickly sent someone to call Haruko and Inoue Sakura.

When Ling Feng and the other two appeared on deck, joy sparkled in Haruko's eyes, "Lord Inoue Ten, the Great Elder actually sent you!"

As she spoke, Haruko tried to rush over with Inoue Sakura.

But Ling Feng knocked her hand away in mid-air.

"What are you trying to do!" Haruko exclaimed angrily.

Ling Feng looked amusedly at Inoue Ten not far ahead and said indifferently, "I am now Inoue Sakura's personal bodyguard. I must ensure her personal safety, so I won't allow her to come into contact with strangers!"

Haruko said angrily, "You are nothing but a..."

Ling Feng's eyes glinted, and Haruko immediately felt an icy chill envelop her, cutting off the rest of her words.

Inoue Ten's gaze flickered over Haruko and Ling Feng before settling on Inoue Sakura.

He approached, "You are the daughter of Miss Inoue Kaoru, Inoue Sakura, right? Welcome home!"

Inoue Sakura hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to step forward, Ling Feng stood in front of her and looked at Inoue Ten, saying indifferently, "Uncle, it would be better if you didn't come any closer! Your current distance is already compromising my employer's safety. So, could you please take two steps back?"

At this point, Inoue Ten turned his gaze to Ling Feng's face. Seeing Ling Feng's youthful face, a hint of scorn flashed across Inoue Ten's expression. "Who are you?"

Ling Feng said with a smile, "I am Miss Inoue Sakura's personal bodyguard. I'm responsible for all her safety, so..."

Inoue Ten frowned slightly, then said flatly, "Enough, from today on, Miss Inoue Sakura's safety will be the responsibility of the Inoue Family. Your job is done!"

Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Sadly, you are not my employer, so your words mean nothing to me!"

"You're seeking death!" Inoue Ten's expression darkened as he stared at Ling Feng intently and said, "Considering you escorted Miss Sakura all this way, I can overlook your insolence, but if you insist on courting death, then I can only oblige!"
