as ready and about to begin.As it was a small auction held by the upper crust, there weren't too many guests at the venue, about 100 or so. However, you could pull out any one of them and they'd be a...Lin Tianyu scanned the audience below with sharp eyes, "Who else disagrees"

His voice was soft, but it was laced with deadly intent.

The people of the Watanabe household lowered their heads one by one, not a sound coming from any of them. After all, the bodies of Watanabe Kouji and his son were still lying there.

They were very clear that standing up against him now would inevitably lead to being killed by this ancestor. No one had two heads, and while the position of head of the family was desirable, they needed to be alive to enjoy it.

"Grandfather, since you believe Kekyo is suitable for the position of head of the family, then she must be capable. I am the first to agree."

Watanabe Daisuke knew that it was important to stand up for what is right, and he was the first to express his support.

Once one person stepped up, others immediately followed suit, expressing their support for Watanabe Keiko to become the head of the family.

"Well then, that's settled."

Lin Tianyu said this, but in his heart he secretly cursed these people for being spineless. They were intimidated after killing only two, not even a bit satisfying.

And so it was settled, with Kasumi Watanabe taking over as head of the Watanabe family from her father, Koryu Watanabe.

Meanwhile, news that Ye Bufan had formed a blood feud with the Watanabe family spread throughout the entire Great Dog Country.

After this intimidation, Kyouko Watanabe easily took control of the entire Watanabe family. In the evening, she called Watanabe Takedo, who was in charge of managing the family's business, into her room.

"Master, what are your orders"

Watanabe and Tadashi’s expressions were extremely respectful. Not long ago, they had personally witnessed Watanabe Keiko killing Watanabe Jun'ichi.

"Have a seat."

"What's the state of the family business now"

It's normal for the current head of the family to oversee the industries. Watanabe and Tadano didn't think much of it, and respectfully replied, "That's good, there hasn't been any impact."

After chatting for a while, Watanabe Keiko asked, "Mr. Hetian, are you familiar with the islands of our Great Dog Country"

"Very familiar, I grew up going out to sea fishing with my father."

The Watanabe family's industries are primarily based at sea, and as the head of the family, Watanabe is very familiar with the marine environment, just like his counterpart in Tokyo.

"Let me ask you this, have you ever heard of Mermaid Island"

Watanabe Keiko stared intently at him.

"Mermaid Island" Watanabe Tadashi looked thoughtful. "Master, I've never heard of that."

"Please check this right away. This island is very important to our Watanabe family."

"Please wait a moment."

After Watanabe had finished speaking, he immediately took out a miniature pocket computer. As one of the five prominent families with fishing as their main industry, the Watanabe family has its own nautical charts.

He looked diligently for a whole hour before he raised his head and said to the patriarch, "Patriarch, I couldn't find any information about Mermaid Island."

"That's hard to say," explained Watanabe. "According to the official maps of Tai-kwan, we have almost 7,000 small islands surrounding us. According to our family's nautical charts, there are about 10,000."

Some of these islets have names, some don't, and there are also some reefs we don't know about. We can't verify if any have been called Mermaid Island by locals.

Watanabe Keiko pondered for a moment: "So, you go back and continue your search, but be careful to keep it secret. Don't let anyone know that the Watanabe family is looking for this island. Otherwise, there will be consequences according to family rules."

"Yes!"

Watanabe and Tanaka agreed with a [dragon soaring] sound, then turned and walked out.

Watanabe Keiko hesitated for a moment, but ultimately took out her phone and dialed Ye Bufan's number.

"Ye Jun, I'm sorry. I let you down."

Ye Bufan was searching the perimeter, and said: "What's wrong Was it not smooth controlling the Watanabe family"

"That went smoothly. I'm already the head of the Watanabe family, but I couldn't find the Mermaid Island you mentioned."

Watanabe Keiko was filled with guilt, feeling like she had let this man down and failed to meet his expectations.

"It's okay, we can keep trying to figure something out."

Although Ye Bufan was disappointed, he had no other choice but to look for it slowly.

He hung up the phone and began searching back and forth among the small islands off the coast, but this behavior was much like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Although achieving the Martial Saint realm grants extreme speed, it's merely linear advancement. Searching an area remains incredibly slow.

I was busy all night and only managed to see seven or eight small islands. Some were deserted, and while others had inhabitants, there was no sign of Chang Sun Dongju.

Looking at the rising sun, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that this method wouldn't work. If he wanted to thoroughly search every one of the seven or eight thousand islands surrounding Daquan Country, it would take at least three or four months.

He once thought about summoning everyone in the Dragon King's Palace to search together, but then he thought again that those people were not familiar with Changsun Dongju and didn't know her aura.

This way, even after the search is complete, there may still be omissions, and it cannot be 100% trusted.

It seems there's no other way, I'll have to negotiate with the Miyamoto family.

He made an appointment with the Gongben family for three days, so he changed course and flew towards their direction.

In front of the Miyamoto household, Miyamoto Masaru had been guarding there the whole time. Seeing the other party return safely, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

The Mori family has been on edge these days, worried that the other party might disappear without a trace or something unexpected might happen, rendering all their efforts futile.

"Mr. Ye, you're back!"

Mabuchi Masaki stepped forward with a smile and greeted everyone, showing no sign of resentment towards their previous departure.

This was also a deliberate instruction from Miyamoto Kikuhide. The more urgent the situation became, the less they could afford to tear their faces apart with each other. After all, they still depended on the other party to treat Miyamoto Larutai's injuries.

Ye Bufan didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I went for a walk."

Have you had breakfast yet We've already prepared it.

Kageyama invited him into the room with great courtesy and then ordered a bountiful breakfast to be served.

Ye Bufan wasn't polite either. He had been busy outside all night and was indeed quite hungry, so he ate with gusto.

After he had finished eating, Miyamoto Makoto said: "That... Mr. Ye, the medicinal herbs you mentioned, our Miyamoto family has already collected them."

Now only the last ingredient is on its way, expected to arrive before noon. When would you like to have the head physician treat him

Ye Bufan was secretly pleased. It seemed that the Miyamoto family's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. They had gathered so many hard-to-find medicinal herbs in such a short time, which saved him a lot of effort compared to finding them himself.

"This is simple, as soon as the medicine is ready, we can start treating the illness." He wiped his mouth and said, "But I have one condition, before I treat the illness, I need to see my mother."

"Or else, I'll heal your master, and then you won't release me!"

"On that point, Mr. Ye, please rest assured, our Gongben family is reputable. As soon as you cure our head of the house, we will immediately send Ms. Changsun over."

Ye Bufan sneered inwardly, "If you little devils had any honor, pigs could climb trees."

"No, this is my bottom line. I have to see my mother before taking any action. Otherwise, I won't make a move."

Mamoru Minamoto let out a cunning smile: "Well then, we can agree to your request, but the Minamoto clan also has a condition."

The most important thing right now is to see Chang Sun Dongju. As long as we save her, everything else will be easier to handle.

"Go on, what other conditions do you have" Ye Bufan said.l, so powerful that everyone in the world knows your name.As long as one's fame is big enough, Big Brother Ye will definitely come looking for them when he hears the news.In this regard, she was in ag...
