Ling Tian carefully examined the intelligence report from the Misty Rain Pavilion. It was detailed, providing a complete picture of the Miyagi family's situation.
The intelligence also included the tragedy that befell the Miyagi family and the deeds of Miyagi Yui in her travels as a physician over the years.
This young woman was quite famous in the Southeast Asian region.
After finishing the report, Ling Tian looked up and smiled at Ali.
"Ali, that woman named Miyagi Yui is actually an unfortunate soul. She's also very kind, so don't target her."
Ling Tian knew Ali's temperament very well. Although Ali was greatly influenced by human society now, she was still a cat at heart.
If you repeatedly provoke a cat, the inevitable outcome is a scratch on the face.
"Meow, alright. Since you say so, I'll spare her.
However, if there's an opportunity, it's still best to make things clear with her, so she doesn't have any improper thoughts about me!"
After dinner, Ling Tian and Ali began to walk back. They had arrived by car, but they chose to walk back.
It wasn't just the two of them; most people chose to walk back to their residences. Their accommodations were only a few kilometers away, and the entire area, spanning over ten kilometers, was populated by royal family members and the country's political dignitaries.
The roads on both sides were lined with various streetlights and landscape lighting, creating a unique scenery.
Suddenly, the two noticed several people surrounding a woman on the small road not far ahead.
Ali's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw clearly.
"Ali, it's that Miyagi Yui. It looks like she's in trouble."
Ling Tian hesitated for a moment and then said, "Let's go take a look. If we can help, we should."
"Wow, Ling Tian, you seem very concerned about this girl. What, have you taken a liking to her?" Ali teased.
Ling Tian directly reached out and flicked her on the back of the head. The pain made Ali yelp.
Although Ali's skull was very hard, it might not even budge if hit with a hammer, but this little girl was terrified of Ling Tian flicking her head with his finger. It really hurt.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That young lady is a good person, a kind person, and she's also a doctor.
From a doctor's perspective, I don't want my colleagues to be bullied!"
"Alright..."
"Ali, did you remember what I told you?"
"I know, I'm not supposed to reveal my strength casually, and I'm not supposed to kill people casually... You're so naggy..."
About 100 meters away, the woman being stopped was Miyagi Yui. Facing her was a man in his thirties with a lecherous smile.
This man had his hair slicked back, dark circles under his eyes, deep bags, and pale lips, a typical appearance of someone who indulged too much.
Yet, even in this state, the man made no attempt to hide his lascivious gaze.
Looking further at the man, his attire, clothes, shoes, socks, and the watch on his wrist were all top-tier luxury brands. Any single item he wore would cost over $100,000.
Speaking of this man, he came from a prominent family. He was a leading figure of the younger generation of the Carpensa family in Darusalam, and the son of Darusalam's Minister of Finance, Haimir Carpensa.
In Darusalam, there was frequent intermarriage between the royal family and the other major families. Therefore, in a sense, Haimir was King Hajif's cousin.
However, Haimir had not entered politics. His family believed it was not yet time. Regardless, he held noble status, and in Darusalam, he would never be inferior to anyone, no matter how high their status.
Moreover, Haimir was extremely wealthy. He was the entertainment tycoon of the country. His entertainment company had influence throughout Southeast Asia and controlled several radio and television stations.
Additionally, several large gambling ships on the high seas were his property.
A person like this, with both wealth and family background, could essentially do whatever he pleased in Darusalam.
He had not attended today's banquet. The Carpensa family and the Arroyo family put on a show of cordiality before the king, but in private, they paid no attention to each other.
Tonight's banquet was personally organized by Arroyo, so he naturally wouldn't invite such a troublesome fellow who was more capable of causing trouble than achieving anything.
Haimir was here tonight to host someone, and that person was the nearly two-meter-tall, muscular monk standing beside him, wearing a single-shoulder monk robe.
This monk was named Yodick, and his background was also significant. His teacher was Master Duran, the National Master of Darusalam.
Master Duran was an enlightened monk. Especially after the resurgence of spiritual energy, this eminent monk had demonstrated his magical arts in public on multiple occasions.
Therefore, Master Duran was the de facto controller of Darusalam's organization of espers.
Due to Master Duran's extremely distinguished status, the Carpensa family had developed ulterior motives. They decided to do everything they could to win over Master Duran.
However, the master was a reclusive expert, and inviting him out for a meal was not easy. Thus, the Carpensa family took a different approach, specifically sending Haimir to befriend Yodick, Master Duran's chief disciple.
Yodick was Master Duran's most valued disciple. This person had exceptional talent, but Master Duran felt that his disciple still needed tempering, so he allowed him to go out and handle the sect's businesses and worldly affairs.
His teacher understood him well; this person truly lacked experience. Thus, facing Haimir's combination of flattery and corruption, the two immediately became bosom buddies, as if they wanted to swear brotherhood by cutting a chicken's head and burning yellow paper.
Tonight, the Wang family had hired a renowned chef. Haimir used his connections to have that chef prepare a lavish banquet to entertain Master Yodick.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two walked side by side towards Haimir's residence. There, Haimir had already arranged for entertainment, and the nature of that entertainment was understood by all lecherous individuals.
As a result, they encountered Miyagi Yui, who was walking back to her residence, halfway there.
Seeing a beauty under the lamplight doubled her charm. This fleeting glimpse immediately ignited Haimir's lust, so he, along with his bodyguards, stopped Miyagi Yui.
"Beautiful lady, come have some fun with me. This beautiful night is so lonely for one person!"
Miyagi Yui was startled and took a few steps back.
"You... what do you want to do..."
"Beautiful lady, don't pretend to be innocent when you know exactly what's going on. You tell me what I want to do,桀桀..."
Haimir and Yodick beside him let out lecherous laughter.
