Super War God in the City-Chapter 547 -

The next morning, Dragon Gate drew attention from all sides due to the movements of personnel in its various divisions, although at the outset, nobody paid it much mind.

The fact that Yin Tianzu of Dragon Gate had suffered a setback in Huaxia had basically spread throughout the upper echelons of the Underworld, and North America, in particular, found itself in a difficult situation.

Therefore, everyone assumed that the personnel movements within Dragon Gate were aimed at North America, and they didn't pay it much attention for the time being.

In Ais Duchy's Victoria Harbor, the long-dormant world-class cruise ship, Diamond Princess, set off unexpectedly while announcing its travel plans and itinerary to the outside world.

Most people would normally purchase their tickets a year before the ship's departure, so under normal circumstances, the SS Diamond could only sell about half of its tickets in the first three years. This sudden move caught many by surprise!

When they began to call and inquire, they were told that the tickets had already sold out, so the decision to start the global travel ahead of schedule was made upon the suggestion of the customers.

Those who had not bought tickets regretted it deeply upon hearing the news.

Nearly five thousand people were on board the Diamond Princess, almost at full capacity, and the first destination was Snow Country, expected to take about two days to reach.

The captain of the SS Diamond promptly reported to Beth at the time of departure.

At that moment, Beth was resting on a sun lounger by the poolside of Freedom Island Manor, clad in a bikini. After hanging up the phone, she pondered whether to inform Snow Country or not!

She was truly frightened; if the information leaked, Ling Fan would surely seek revenge, and the explosion back then had definitely caused him significant harm, or else he wouldn't have remained hidden for two years without showing himself.

If he hadn't fully recovered, perhaps she could use Snow Country to finish off Ling Fan. After much thought, it seemed inevitable that both sides would end up in conflict; Ling Beiming's trip there was certainly not to admire flowers or the moon.

She didn't need to do much, just make sure those guys were somewhat prepared. That way, she would neither offend Ling Fan nor provide Snow Country with a warning.

The most important thing was that she had to lay groundwork for future events, for if Snow Country found itself at a disadvantage, the large party of over two thousand people would surely be traced back to her Diamond Princess.

She would need to extricate herself from the situation when that time came, ensuring no one could grasp any leverage on her and pin a label on her, which would be unfavorable for her reputation.

On the surface, Official Ling was simply asking Beth for a favor, but the myriad political machinations and vested interests involved were far more convoluted and complex than they appeared.

If merely the relationships within a small gang or a minor Noble House were already tangled with various interests, it was even truer for relations between world-class Noble Houses and powers of this scale.

After pondering for a moment, Beth immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hi, Miss Beth, may I know the reason for your call?" a somewhat respectful voice came from the other end.

"Kuno Yukki, the Assassin tasks in the Underworld recently hinted at information about Ling Beiming; you'd be wise to be cautious," Beth casually reminded him in an indifferent tone.

On the other end of the phone was the Clan Leader of the Kuno Clan, which was hailed as the First Family of the Royal Household in Snow Country.

The top managers of the Snow Country's Secular World primarily originated from this Noble House, which, backed by the Martial Alliance, ruled over the entire Secular World and wielded tremendous influence within the Martial Arts World.

Below the Kuno Clan, the three major families were somewhat inferior. Middle management of the Secular World tended to come from these three families, each backed by one of the three Ninja Bloodlines.

"Miss Beth, you really are worrying unnecessarily. I've heard that news too; it's nothing but rumors, utter nonsense. That guy was blown to ashes two years ago; how could he possibly come back from the dead!" Kuno Yukki said dismissively, shaking his head and laughing.

"However, it is also possible that some of the old members who went into hiding are unwilling to let go and deliberately released false information to make us panic. Miss Beth, don't take it to heart!"

Reclining on her lounger, Beth elegantly crossed her slightly sun-kissed legs with a smirk in her heart, "Be wary of his friends who are still alive and may band together for revenge. If you have bad luck one day, don't say I didn't warn you!"

Kuno Yukki slightly straightened up, "Miss Beth, back when the Eight Nations formed an alliance based on the Heaven Army, with the Martial Alliance at its core, those idlers had already taken their revenge against my Snow Country once. Do they dare to come at us again?"

"Don't forget, it was because our people didn't withdraw in time that they caught us off guard. Now, with our power and main forces at home, how would they take their revenge?"

"Oh, that's good. It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered, and I've been a bit restless these past few days, so I just wanted to remind you!" Beth's mouth curled into an arc as she responded nonchalantly.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Beth. My Snow Country will always be your most loyal friend. Rest assured, there isn't an organization in the world that dares to cause trouble on Snow Country's homeland!

"However, I actually hope they dare to come — I would welcome it!" Kuno Yukki laughed heartily.

"Hehe, that's it for now. I've got a call coming in!" Beth said as she greeted him, then hung up the phone.

"Hmph, this fool. You're about to discover a surprise. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Beth muttered to herself.

She then checked the phone recording she had just made. She needed to keep this safe. Even if she played it for Ling Fan, she wasn't afraid, for she hadn't truly revealed anything, and Ling Fan would understand her actions!

In a villa in Snow Country, after Kuno Yukki hung up the phone, he hesitated for a moment before making a call directly to the upper echelons of the Secular World.

"Master Kuno, what are your instructions?" A respectful voice came from the other end.

"It's nothing much. Just have your people pay extra attention to the borders lately. Watch out for any shady forces that might provoke us," Kuno Yukki instructed.

"Yes, sir!"

The person on the other end responded respectfully.

After hanging up the phone, Kuno Yukki didn't take it too seriously. He heard that a stunningly beautiful courtesan had appeared in one of the family's pleasure quarters, and he intended to go experience it for himself.

On a passenger ship headed to Snow Country, Ling Fan walked out of his room early in the morning, only to see Nora had just finished bathing and was blow-drying her hair.

"Where's Yukieko?" Ling Fan asked curiously.

"Oh, she slept too late last night and was tired. I didn't disturb her," Nora explained as she continued to dry her hair.

Yukieko was not a martial artist, so her energy and physical strength simply couldn't compare to Nora's.

"I'm done. Let's go out for some breakfast, and then we can bring back a portion for her!" Nora put down the hair dryer and said to Ling Fan.

"Alright!" Ling Fan nodded. He didn't care much about eating; he mainly wanted some fresh air.

Nora promptly linked her arm with Ling Fan's and left the room. They hadn't gone far when the door of a nearby room opened, and two men stepped out — Kyuyama Taiga and Kamikawa Goro!

These two had been looking all over for Ling Fan. It turned out they were living next door to Official Ling!

As they came out, they were captivated by the sight of Nora's attractive figure.

Suddenly, the two men looked at each other, feeling that these two resembled the pair Koizumi Yusuke had described the night before.

After a moment of stunned silence, Kamikawa Goro quickly came to his senses, his expression darkening as he called out, "Excuse me, the two ahead, wait a moment!"
