Chapter 99

Even in this age of the internet, there are many things that cannot be easily obtained through it alone.

"Is that so... It's not that I doubt my own abilities, but I'm just an ordinary flight attendant. Can I really do it?"

After taking Ye Yun on a simple tour of Ginza, Sanzenin Yuki received Ye Yun's 'order'.

The furniture was already being moved into the house rented for Sanzenin Yuki next door. Ye Yun, looking down at Ginza from the floor-to-ceiling window, said calmly, "This isn't a difficult task. The Emperor in Japan is the spokesperson for the gods, right? Even ordinary citizens would revere him, wouldn't they? Besides, you said that one million yen for a piece of information is something an ordinary person can't refuse. What's there to be afraid of?"

"But..." Sanzenin Yuki was still hesitant: "Won't I be arrested as a spy? Gathering information about the royal family..."

"That depends on the kind of people you find. Go with peace of mind. If the money isn't enough, I have more. If the people you recruit have any other intentions, tell me, and I'll take care of it."

"How... take care of it?"

"Like this." Ye Yun put his hand behind his waist and pulled out a gun.

Sanzenin Yuki was startled: "You... who are you really?"

She rarely addressed Ye Yun without using honorifics, showing how frightened she was.

Ye Yun said calmly, "Do your job with peace of mind. I won't harm you, nor will I harm others."

"But, but!" Sanzenin Yuki's eyes turned red: "You're asking me to gather information on which royal family members will be flying and their exact boarding times, and you have a gun... If you really do something bad, and it's traced back, I'll be implicated! I don't care about myself, but my younger siblings..."

Ye Yun snorted coldly, turned sharply, and pointed the gun at Sanzenin Yuki's forehead: "You've already taken the money and rented the house. Do you think you can still refuse me now?"

The cold, black barrel of the gun pressed against her smooth forehead, and Sanzenin Yuki's body stiffened, tears streaming down her face: "You, you, I thought you were a good person... I didn't expect you to be so ruthless..."

Ye Yun sneered: "You can think whatever you want, but if you're not stupid, you should understand that at my age, with a gun and money, my identity is not ordinary. You can try not to follow my instructions or report me to the police, but see if you and your family can survive from my hands!"

The cold, murderous intent in his words made Sanzenin Yuki shudder, her heart screaming that he wasn't joking. She took a hesitant step back, her face showing the defeat and fear of having met the wrong person.

Threats need to be measured. Ye Yun didn't really intend to bully such a girl. He put away the gun and said, "I don't want to make things difficult for you. There's something I didn't explain clearly."

He pulled Sanzenin Yuki to the sofa and poured her a cup of tea: "The one million yen I gave you isn't really for gathering information, but as part of your compensation. Think about it, if a member of the Japanese royal family wants to travel abroad or leave Tokyo for another city, even if it doesn't cause a stir at your airport, at least some of the flight attendants or female ground staff would be curious, right? What I want you to do is to get close to the airport staff who can access booking records or direct information, become friends with them, and once a royal family member is really going to fly, you can get the information immediately, can't you?"

Seeing Sanzenin Yuki calm down a bit, Ye Yun straightened up and said, "You're already a flight attendant. By showing appropriate admiration for the royal family, those 'new friends' won't miss the chance to 'show off' to you, right? The task I'm asking you to do isn't something that can be done immediately. No one can be sure if a royal family member will fly soon. This might be a long-term 'stalemate.' So, as long as you act naturally, even if something happens to the plane the royal family is on, it won't be related to you. After all, many people will know that a royal family member is flying, right?"

Sanzenin Yuki stopped crying, but her eyes still showed some distrust.

Ye Yun continued, "Of course, I know that women need to go shopping or do other activities to become friends. In addition to the one million yen I gave you, I'll cover all subsequent expenses. As long as you bring me the information I want, I guarantee that if it's real, you'll get one hundred million yen. Think about it, you have younger siblings to raise. Living on your own income will be very tight. With one hundred million yen, your siblings can go to good schools, wear nice clothes, and eat good food. Even if not for yourself, for their future, right?"

Holding the gun in one hand and waving the money in the other, though not very skilled, Ye Yun's 'persuasion' was clearly very effective.

Sanzenin Yuki left with a resentful look, and Ye Yun sat on the sofa in silence.

Actually, making Sanzenin Yuki investigate the royal family's potential flight opportunities was a last resort for Ye Yun.

However, while Sanzenin Yuki was showing Ye Yun around Ginza, he received a call... a call from an Asian assassin organization.

In the call, the intermediary mentioned a price increase regarding the Nara Todai-ji's Sango Robe fragment. According to the intermediary, after receiving Ye Yun's commission yesterday afternoon, a team was sent to Todai-ji, but what was supposed to be a simple mission encountered heavy resistance. The team didn't even make it into Todai-ji before being completely wiped out!

Hearing this, Ye Yun's first reaction was disbelief. According to Vanessa's information, the Five-Star Shield obtained the robe fragment without much effort. How could a mere temple stop professional thieves and assassins?

He thought the intermediary was just exaggerating to raise the price, but the intermediary provided another piece of information.

"...Brother, you can choose not to believe me, but a high-level person on my side has asked me to reveal a word and a sentence to you."

"The word is: player. The original sentence is: The Chinese Seven Wolves team has contacted the Japanese, and someone with the bloodline wants to obtain the materials for the Sun Glove. Their transaction is unclear."

Ye Yun was shocked.

The Seven Wolves realized he would come to Japan to find the Sun Glove materials just two days after the death of the Unlucky Wolf?

Thinking about it, the Unlucky Wolf's body would indeed be left after being burned by the Sun Fire. It was normal for them to think that someone with the Kusanagi bloodline had killed the Unlucky Wolf. But how did they know for sure that he had the Sun Glove design? Maybe he already had the Sun Glove?

Thinking of this, Ye Yun was secretly worried about Vanessa and Zhang Yusheng. They were comrades, and after confirming the first-level matters, they no longer treated him as a 'T.' If the Seven Wolves already knew about the Sun Glove, they must know a lot about the concert main quest. This put these 'comrades' in danger.

However, Ye Yun was in a difficult situation himself and had no time to worry about others. He sent a simple email to Zhang Yusheng and Vanessa as a warning and then asked the intermediary if the robe fragment could still be obtained.

The intermediary had initially proposed a price increase, but this time, the price he gave was...

"Twenty thousand points?"

Ye Yun naturally knew he meant twenty thousand game points and asked, "How do we conduct the transaction?"

The intermediary said someone would bring the robe fragment for the transaction. Ye Yun, with a troubled mind, agreed... Later, he realized that the person coming to trade might be dangerous, but ultimately, obtaining the robe fragment was a risky endeavor, and the outcome would only be known later.

After agreeing to the transaction, Ye Yun fell into deep thought.

Since the easiest to obtain robe fragment had encountered obstacles, the royal family's blood, which was the hardest to get, would be even more difficult to obtain by simple means.

Thus, the scene of him coercing and enticing Sanzenin Yuki earlier occurred.
