Chapter 282: How Could We Stand in the International Community
With the misunderstanding cleared up, Li Jiexuan once again became an honored guest of the Land of Artisans, surrounded and escorted into the daimyo's residence…
The banquet began. An array of dazzling delicacies and fine wines filled the hall. Beautiful dancers moved gracefully among the guests, while Seimei stayed by Li Jiexuan's side, smiling as brightly as a blooming chrysanthemum…
"A blessing in disguise!"
Li Jiexuan, the genius of Konoha, was a rising star across the entire ninja world. If they could establish a connection with him, wouldn't the Land of Artisans be able to walk sideways from now on?
At that thought, Seimei couldn't help but grin smugly. But when he glanced at Gengetsu Hōzuki beside him, irritation welled up again:
Damn you, Gengetsu Hōzuki. Someone as easygoing as Li Jiexuan, and you still took the chance to squeeze a thirty-five percent discount out of me…
Both were high-ranking figures of their respective villages how could the difference in character be so great? Seimei's glare toward Gengetsu Hōzuki was practically murderous.
"If I'd known, I would've let you deal with it yourself!" Gengetsu Hōzuki felt so wronged he was on the verge of tears. Working for nothing and still getting blamed life was truly difficult…
In just half a day, Qingzheng had already completed the coil and brought it over. For him, crafting such a ninja tool was incredibly simple.
"Lord Jiexuan, the ninja tool is ready."
Qingzheng presented it with a beaming smile. In his mind, this was just a formality once it was over, he would escape danger and turn misfortune into fortune.
Li Jiexuan took the brass induction coil and couldn't help but laugh. As expected, Qingzheng deserved his fate. Even at a time like this, he was still so greedy passing off brass as something of higher quality…
Seeing Li Jiexuan accept the coil, Qingzheng happily prepared to take his seat at the banquet.
"Let's go!"
But Li Jiexuan suddenly stood up and walked straight toward the door without another word.
"Where are you going?"
Seimei and Qingzheng looked confused.
The banquet was in full swing. The two brothers had planned to enjoy some wine and maybe even slip their granddaughter into Li Jiexuan's bed, paving the way for a prosperous future together…
"To test the coil!"
At those words, both Seimei and Qingzheng's expressions changed. No matter how slow they were, they realized this matter was far from over.
Li Jiexuan stepped out of the daimyo's residence and headed straight for the seaside…
"What's going on?"
"Is Li Jiexuan not planning to spare Qingzheng?"
"Looks like there's more excitement to watch!"
Seeing Li Jiexuan walk out with a killing aura, the crowd gathered once more.
"Li Jiexuan, what exactly do you mean by this?"
Seimei couldn't help but feel both embarrassed and angry. He had treated Li Jiexuan so generously, yet Li Jiexuan was showing him no respect. With so many people watching, how could he, the daimyo of the Land of Artisans, maintain his standing?
"I'm fulfilling the bet!"
"The coil has already been given to you!" Qingzheng complained, displeased. Killing someone is one thing, but this was going too far wasn't this going back on his word?
Seimei's face also turned cold. "I advise you not to push your luck. The Land of Artisans may be small, but we are not weak!"
"I said a coil that meets the standard!" Li Jiexuan sneered, interrupting Seimei. He inserted a coin into the coil. "Now, let's see…"
"What?"
Before Seimei could react, a blinding white lightning suddenly flared, as if a miniature sun had exploded before their eyes…
"Super Electromagnetic Cannon!"
Terrifying lightning converged into a single point. Through the coil's induction, it transformed into electromagnetic force, propelling the coin at supersonic speed.
"Boom~~!"
The overwhelming power flattened the sea itself, exposing vast stretches of the seabed. Countless sea creatures were instantly reduced to charred remains.
Even as the distant waters rushed back in, no one had yet recovered from the shock…
