Chapter 1227 Return to the Miyamoto Family

Lin Tianyu's gaze swept sharply over the crowd below. "Is there anyone else who is not convinced?"

His voice was not loud, but it was full of murderous intent.

The people of the Watanabe Family all lowered their heads, and no one made a sound, after all, the bodies of Watanabe Koji and his son were still lying there.

They were very clear that standing out to oppose now would surely lead to being killed by this Grandfather. No one had two heads; while the position of Family Head was good, one needed to be alive to enjoy it.

"Grandfather, since you believe Yui is suitable for the position of Family Head, then she must be capable. I am the first to agree."

Watanabe Daisuke knew that the situation was irreversible and was the first to step forward to express his support.

With one person taking the lead, others immediately followed, expressing their support for Watanabe Yui to assume the position of Family Head.

"Since that's the case, it's settled then."

Lin Tianyu said this, but in his heart, he secretly cursed these people for being spineless. Just killing two people had already intimidated them all; it wasn't satisfying at all.

Thus, with a final decision, Watanabe Yui succeeded Watanabe Takanori as the Family Head of the Watanabe Family.

At the same time, the news that Ye Bufan had formed a blood feud with the Watanabe Family spread throughout the Great Dog Country.

With this deterrence, Watanabe Yui easily gained control of the entire Watanabe Family. In the evening, she summoned Watanabe Kazuda, who was in charge of the Watanabe Family's industries, into her room.

"Family Head, what are your orders?"

Watanabe Kazuda's expression was extremely respectful. Not long ago, he had personally witnessed Watanabe Yui kill Watanabe Junichi.

"Sit down."

Watanabe Yui's attitude was very amiable. "How are the Family's current industries?"

It was normal for the current Family Head to inquire about the industries, and Watanabe Kazuda didn't think much of it, respectfully saying, "Very good, they haven't been affected."

After a few more casual chats, Watanabe Yui asked, "Kazuda, are you familiar with the islands of our Great Dog Country?"

"Extremely familiar. I used to go fishing with my father when I was a child."

The Watanabe Family's industries were mainly at sea, and as the person in charge, Watanabe Kazuda was naturally very familiar with the marine environment.

"Then let me ask, have you heard of Mermaid Island?"

Watanabe Yui looked at him with a burning gaze as she spoke.

"Mermaid Island?" Watanabe Kazuda showed a thoughtful expression. "Family Head, I really haven't heard of that."

"Look it up immediately. This island is very important to our Watanabe Family."

"Please wait a moment."

Watanabe Kazuda said, then immediately took out a miniature pocket computer. As one of the five great Families primarily engaged in fishing, the Watanabe Family had its own nautical maps.

He searched diligently for a full hour before looking up and saying, "Family Head, I couldn't find Mermaid Island."

Watanabe Yui frowned. "How could that be? Does this island not exist, or can't we find it?"

"That's hard to say," Watanabe Kazuda explained. "According to the official maps of the Great Dog Country, there are nearly 7,000 small islands around us. According to our Watanabe Family's nautical maps, there are roughly 10,000.

Some of these small islands have names, some don't, and there are also some reefs we don't know about. We can't confirm if any of them are called Mermaid Island by the locals."

Watanabe Yui pondered for a moment. "Alright, you go back and continue searching, but be careful to keep it a secret. Do not let anyone know that our Watanabe Family is looking for this island, otherwise, you will be dealt with according to Family rules."

"Yes!"

Watanabe Kazuda agreed and turned to leave.

Watanabe Yui hesitated for a moment, then finally took out her phone and dialed Ye Bufan's number.

"Ye Jun, I'm sorry, I failed your expectations."

Ye Bufan was searching nearby and said, "What's wrong? Is controlling the Watanabe Family not going smoothly?"

"That's going very smoothly. I am now the Family Head of the Watanabe Family, but I haven't found the Mermaid Island you mentioned."

Watanabe Yui was filled with guilt, feeling that she had failed the man's expectations of her.

"It's alright, we'll keep thinking of ways."

Although Ye Bufan was disappointed, he had no other choice but to search slowly.

After hanging up the phone, he began searching back and forth on the various small islands along the coast, though this behavior was not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Although his flight speed was extremely fast after reaching the Realm of Martial Saint, that was only linear progression. Area searches were still extremely slow.

He was busy all night and only managed to check seven or eight small islands. Some were deserted, and although some were inhabited, there was no sign of Changsun Dongju.

Looking at the rising sun, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed this method definitely wouldn't work. If he were to thoroughly search the seven or eight thousand small islands around the Great Dog Country, it would take at least three or four months to complete.

He had once thought of summoning everyone from the Dragon King Palace to search together, but then he reconsidered. Those people were not familiar with Changsun Dongju and did not know her Qi.

This would likely lead to omissions after the search, making it impossible to trust 100%.

It seems there's no other way; I can only negotiate with Miyamoto.

The Miyamoto had agreed to three days. He changed direction and flew towards the Miyamoto.

At the entrance of the Miyamoto, Miyamoto Kazuki had been waiting there. Seeing his safe return, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

During this time, the Miyamoto had also been on edge, fearing that he would leave and never return, or that something unexpected would happen, which would render all their efforts futile.

"Mr. Ye, you're back!"

Miyamoto Kazuki stepped forward with a smile, greeting him without any comment on his unannounced departure.

This was also Miyamoto Hideki's specific instruction: the more crucial the moment, the less they could fall out with him, especially since Miyamoto Arataichi's injuries still depended on him for treatment.

Ye Bufan also showed no reaction, nodding with a smile. "I had nothing to do, so I went for a walk."

"Have you had breakfast? We've already prepared it."

Miyamoto Kazuki very politely invited him into the room, then ordered a lavish breakfast to be served.

Ye Bufan was not polite. He had been busy all night and was indeed a bit hungry, so he devoured the food like a whirlwind, eating to his heart's content.

After he finished eating, Miyamoto Kazuki said, "Um… Mr. Ye, our Miyamoto has already collected all the medicinal ingredients you mentioned.

Now, only the last ingredient is on its way and is expected to arrive before noon. When do you think you can treat the Family Head?"

Ye Bufan was secretly pleased. It seemed that the Miyamoto's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. They had gathered such rare medicinal ingredients in such a short time, which was much easier than searching for them himself.

"That's simple. As soon as the medicinal ingredients are complete, I can start the treatment," he said, wiping his mouth. "But I have one condition: before I start the treatment, I must see my mother.

Otherwise, what if I cure your Family Head, and then you don't release her?"

"Mr. Ye, please rest assured on that point. Our Miyamoto is reputable. As soon as you cure our Family Head, we will immediately send Ms. Changsun over."

Ye Bufan sneered inwardly, 'If you little devils had any credibility, pigs would be able to climb trees.'

"No, this is my bottom line. I must see my mother before I act, otherwise, I will not make a move."

Miyamoto Kazuki revealed a cunning smile. "Since that's the case, we can agree to your request, but our Miyamoto also has a condition."

The most important thing now was to see Changsun Dongju. As long as he rescued her, everything else would be easy to handle.

Ye Bufan said, "Go on, what other conditions do you have?"
