"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."
A series of explosions resounded within the Jingguo Shrine, with courtyards collapsing one after another. The aftermath of the bomb blast caused the nearby flowers, trees, pavilions, and fences to blow outward.
Hundreds of masters on the square were blown away by the blast of tens of thousands of pounds of explosives, with those close by reduced to nothing but bones, and those farther away hurled hundreds of meters away, completely passing out.
The power of the blast left them stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening, as the tremors left their heads splitting with pain, forcing them to lie on the ground in a daze.
Tens of thousands of soldiers in the distance heard the noise, with Sun Team members immediately reacting and collectively rushing towards Jingguo Shrine. They wanted to reach Emperor Miyazaki and Prime Minister Abe as soon as possible to protect them, uncertain whether the powerful explosion might have killed the visiting dignitaries.
If all the visiting foreign delegates were killed, Jiepeng would struggle to explain, given that it was Jiepeng who invited them and it happened in Jiepeng.
Emperor Miyazaki and Prime Minister Abe inside Jingguo Shrine heard the explosion right away, initially mistaking it for a civilian celebration by Jiepeng citizens, setting off fireworks to honor the Emperor.
But as the surrounding houses collapsed and dust rose sky-high, they realized the situation was dire.
"Dammit! What's happening?" Emperor Miyazaki shouted angrily.
A master of Innate Skill standing behind him responded, "Emperor, I'll check it out."
After speaking, the Innate master went to the yard and opened the door. Stunned by the scene before him, disbelief spread across his face the next instant.
This is impossible! Moments ago, everything was fine, but now, the entire exterior of Jingguo Shrine was flattened, with even the main courtyard showing signs of damage.
The shock of the Innate master alarmed visiting foreign dignitaries and parliamentarians, reminding them of Jiepeng's nature.
They silently wondered if this was a self-directed drama by Jiepeng?
They worried they were unsuspecting guests in a play, vulnerable to being eliminated anytime.
It's no wonder they thought this way; Jiepeng's character is incredibly fickle. Faced with powerful entities, they may act subservient, but upon surpassing others in strength, they reveal their fangs, biting fiercely or even a deadly bite.
Thus, they feared Jiepeng orchestrated this to eliminate them.
"What's going on?" Emperor Miyazaki questioned the distant Innate master.
The master regained his composure but still wore an incredulous expression.
"Emperor, please come and see..." the master suggested, unsure how to respond, inviting the Emperor to witness the scene himself.
Emperor Miyazaki felt a hint of anxiety, fearing not a coup but a terrorist attack targeting Jingguo Shrine. Despite the presence of numerous guards and self-defense forces maintaining order, the Shrine was bombed, making it a disgrace to face their ancestors.
When Emperor Miyazaki saw the situation outside the main courtyard, he roared, "Dammit! Someone tell me what's going on! Dammit! Dammit! Where are my people? Those useless fools! Dammit!"
The Emperor exclaimed "Dammit!" several times, displaying the depth of his anger.
The visiting dignitaries and Abe were more composed, illustrating the difference between civilian and military officials.
Despite being under immense pressure, civilian officials appear calm and unperturbed, even when afraid, never showing it.
Conversely, military officials like Emperor Miyazaki are different; faced with troubles and anger, they express their true selves, swearing and seeking revenge.
This explains why Emperor Miyazaki collaborates with right-wing elements, jointly harboring ambitions to occupy Southeast Asia.
Abe watched calmly, silently plotting post-crisis management, pondering how to settle the angered national forces.
"Dammit! Are they all dead?" Emperor Miyazaki shouted at the ruins before him.
At that moment, over a hundred Sun Team members arrived in front of Emperor Miyazaki, panting heavily from their exhausting sprint over three kilometers.
"Emperor, leader, are you alright?" an apparent Sun Team captain asked.
"Dammit! Look at this symbol of Sun Country, what has it become?" Emperor Miyazaki shouted at the Sun Team member resembling the captain, pointing at him.
Meanwhile, Yoshida Koyama and his right-wing elements also arrived, respectfully addressing Emperor Miyazaki, "May the Emperor be blessed with peace and health..."
"Dammit! Spare me the pleasantries! Tell me what's happened here!" Emperor Miyazaki was truly infuriated by the Shrine's bombing.
"Emperor, I suspect the four Huaxia pigs might be responsible, though whether they had external aid is still under investigation," the apparent captain of Sun Team said.
"Huaxia people?" Abe asked, frowning.
"Yes, leader."
"In detail, what exactly happened?" Abe asked.
The apparent captain of Sun Team exchanged a glance with Yoshida Koyama, falling silent.
They dared not speak, fearing the wrath of Prime Minister Abe for their failure—four Huaxia individuals stirring chaos in Tokyo yet remaining uncaptured.
"Speak!" Abe demanded.
"Four special forces members from Huaxia rescued fifteen Huaxia agents and three special forces members, then bombed our Tokyo Mansion, causing a three-kilometer radius to collapse with an estimated initial death toll of two thousand, wounded numbers..."
"Dammit!" Abe yelled angrily before hearing the details.
"Continue," Emperor Miyazaki restrained his anger to ask.
"The casualty count is around fifty thousand; people trampled each other amid the chaos, with Yoshida Koyama..." The captain hesitated as he looked at Yoshida Koyama, implying his involvement in the deaths, but Emperor Miyazaki interrupted, "Where are they? Bunch of useless fools."
"General Jin San is currently implementing a precise plan, ensuring imminent capture of the four," he said.
"Dig three feet if you must but find them. If they aren't caught, you all needn't remain soldiers; prepare for seppuku!" Emperor Miyazaki shouted.
"Yes!" over a hundred Sun Team members nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Army Headquarters, a beautiful female intelligence officer reviewed satellite data, reporting, "General, signal sources are near Jinghai Mansion, close to Jingguo Shrine."
"Surround it immediately." (To Be Continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read further.)
