The National Government Team's first stop was naturally Sakura Country.
However, since it was a training exercise, the instructors naturally wouldn't let these proud children of heaven reach their destination easily and comfortably.
After dropping everyone off in a remote fishing village on the East Sea coast, the accompanying instructors not only confiscated everyone's identification documents but also froze all their bank cards.
After doing all this, the instructors got into their special vehicle and drove away.
"I bought a watch last year!!!"
Mo Fan's furious roar echoed on the beach as he gave the departing instructor's vehicle an international friendly gesture.
"Old Mo, calm down," Zhao Manyan said helplessly, pressing on his shoulder. "We are, after all, National Government Team members. Mind your image."
"Image?" Mo Fan shook off his hand and pointed at the few dilapidated wooden fishing boats on the shore. "Look! Broken boats without even oars! Do the instructors really expect us to row these to Sakura Country?"
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, gesticulating wildly as he vented his frustration at the sky and the sea:
"What about the promised food and accommodation? What about the promised private jet pick-up and drop-off? What about the promised tours of various countries, delicious food, and beautiful women? Now, they've dumped us in this godforsaken place and even frozen our bank cards!"
"Mediocre people only know how to complain."
A lazy and charming voice came.
Jiang Shaoxu leaned against a coconut tree, her slender fingers twirling a strand of hair, and the beauty mark at the corner of her lips appeared and disappeared with her soft laughter.
She wore a light purple gauze dress today, and the sea breeze outlined her graceful curves.
Mo Fan glared at her unhappily. "Then, may I ask, Miss Jiang, what is your brilliant idea?"
Jiang Shaoxu didn't answer immediately but turned her gaze to the silent Wang Feng, her red lips curving slightly. "Our Captain, it seems, already anticipated this."
Indeed, ever since stepping into Feiniao City, the smile on Wang Feng's face hadn't disappeared.
"Old Wang, if you have a solution, quickly speak up!" Mo Fan hurriedly asked.
"Just follow me."
Wang Feng didn't explain but led the National Government Team towards Feiniao City.
...
After walking along the coastline for most of the day, everyone finally saw clusters of buildings and many Mages.
"Why are there so many Mages here?" Zhao Manyan looked around in confusion.
Although Feiniao City was much larger than Bo City, it was still just a third-tier small city, far from comparable to major cities like Magic City or Demon City. Logically, there shouldn't be so many Mages gathered.
"It is indeed unusual," Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.
Figures in Mage robes were seen everywhere on the streets; Intermediate Level Mages were abundant, and one could even feel the magic fluctuations emanating from High-Level Mages.
This kind of sight was common in major cities like Magic City or Demon City, but in Feiniao City, it seemed particularly out of place.
"Could it be that someone bought this broken place?" Mo Fan kicked a pebble by the roadside. "Someone invested in this godforsaken place?"
"Quite the opposite," Zhao Manyan's eyes lit up, his business acumen immediately activated. "The port here is a natural deep-water harbor. Look at this sea river; the water is deep enough, the channel is wide, and it can directly reach the sea and penetrate inland."
He gestured excitedly, "I say, within three to five years, this place will definitely develop into a first-tier port city! The person who invested here has incredibly sharp foresight!"
Mu Ningxue listened to everyone's discussion, a barely perceptible smile flashing in her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her lips curved slightly upward.
Wang Feng remained silent, leading everyone to the port terminal.
A medium-sized luxury cruise ship was quietly docked there. A dozen sailors were busy on the deck, and the prominent emblem on the hull shimmered in the sunlight.
"Huh? This symbol..." Mo Fan suddenly squinted his eyes, and after seeing it clearly, his pupils suddenly dilated. "Holy cow! Isn't this Captain's Wang's Medical Clinic symbol?"
"Damn! It really is!" Zhao Manyan blurted out, then abruptly turned to Wang Feng, his face filled with disbelief.
Amidst everyone's shocked or inquisitive gazes, Wang Feng merely lightly brushed his sleeve, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips:
"Yes, this ship is mine."
After the Ancient Capital Calamity, Wang Feng had Ye Chang secretly acquire the properties under Lin Junxian's name.
As for how they were acquired, Wang Feng didn't ask.
Because there was no need!
"No wonder Captain has been smiling all the way; it turns out he's back on his own territory!"
Jiang Shaoxu murmured in realization, her slender fingers twirling a strand of hair, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.
Zu Jiming's expression flickered, and he hesitated, saying, "This... doesn't this violate the training rules?"
"Rules?" Zhao Manyan immediately scoffed, glancing sideways at him. "The instructors explicitly forbade using ID cards and bank cards, but they never said we couldn't prepare a private yacht in advance. What? Can't stand to see others capable? Or would you like to swim to Tokyo?"
These sarcastic words made Zu Jiming's face flush red.
He certainly remembered how he had mocked Zhao Manyan, that "connected person," back then. Now, he could only turn his head away, his face ashen.
Ai Jiangtu frowned and asked, "But the training mission..."
"Don't worry," Wang Feng interrupted him. "My people already completed the Feiniao City mission a few days ago."
The so-called mission was merely to clear out the Red Scale Demon Horde entrenched outside Feiniao City.
After the acquisition was complete, Ye Chang and Qin Yu'er jointly cleared them out, also resolving the missing infant incident.
Of course, the true mastermind was still in the position of Dubai's Chief.
...
At the same time.
Parthenon Temple.
Inside the Saintess Hall, Asha Ruiya leaned languidly on the sofa, her slender fingers gently tracing the names on the parchment.
When she saw a certain name, she suddenly straightened up, a playful glint in her eyes.
"Oh? Ye Xin Xia?"
Her fingertip lightly tapped that name, her gaze falling on the note behind it:
"[Sister of Chinese Councilor Wang Feng]"
"Wang Feng's sister?" Asha Ruiya suddenly chuckled, her red lips curving into a mischievous arc. "A lover, perhaps?"
The incense drifting in the hall swirled in the air, reflecting the cunning glint in her eyes.
"Perhaps, I can get some little secrets about Wang Feng from her~"
...
As a coastal city, Feiniao City had almost no heavy industrial pollution; the clear blue sky and crystal-clear seawater merged into a thin line in the distance.
After the cruise ship left the safe zone, this beautiful scenery of water and sky merging made the entire team's atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.
On the deck, several girls had already changed into cool summer attire.
Jiang Shaoxu wore a black and white bikini, her silky skin glowing faintly in the sunlight.
The orange-red cocktail in her hand swayed slightly with the cruise ship, reflecting a charming halo.
"Captain~" She approached with a cat-like stride, her voice carrying a lazy sweetness. "Can you tell me which family you come from?"
Wang Feng withdrew his gaze from afar, letting it fall on Jiang Shaoxu.
Her full, firm breasts, tightly encased by the swimsuit, presented a beautiful curve that was visually striking, making it difficult to look away.
