“Understood. You don’t need to worry about these things. I’ll talk to Ieyasu Masao myself. You just need to focus on the preliminary preparations for the Liangfang Town internet-famous tourism base project.”
Kaedei Keiko said calmly.
Only her parents could interfere with her marriage.
Anyone else who wanted to meddle in her romantic affairs could get lost.
“Chen Feng, you go back to Liangfang Town first. I’ll go meet Ieyasu Masao.”
Kaedei Keiko said, trying to maintain her composure.
“Miss Kaedei, I’ll go with you.”
Chen Feng replied without a second thought.
Although he and Kaedei Keiko weren’t in a romantic relationship, she was his most important connection. If Ieyasu Masao truly got his way with Kaedei Keiko, his valuable connection would vanish.
In the political arena, not a single connection could be lost!
Furthermore, Kaedei Keiko genuinely disliked Ieyasu Masao, and as a friend, he felt it was his responsibility to help.
“You’re coming with me? I’d rather you didn’t. That Ieyasu Masao is very fierce. He wouldn’t dare be aggressive towards me, but you are Chinese. He wouldn’t just be aggressive towards you; he might even attack you.”
Kaedei Keiko advised Chen Feng immediately.
“Miss Kaedei, I must help you drive away this scumbag. As for his ferocity, don’t worry, I have Chinese martial arts.”
To ease Kaedei Keiko’s worries, Chen Feng deliberately demonstrated a set of traditional martial arts in front of her.
It was strange, but Chen Feng’s current traditional martial arts were even more solid than when he was in university.
Perhaps it was related to Chen Feng constantly working in the grassroots and not confined to an office.
If one stayed in an office year-round, even the best martial arts foundation would be neglected.
“Chinese martial arts? But the problem is, Ieyasu Masao knows a bit of ninjutsu.”
Kaedei Keiko said with a worried expression.
Chen Feng smiled upon hearing the word “ninjutsu.”
Ninjutsu was far inferior to Chinese traditional martial arts; it was merely mythologized in anime.
The fact that ninjutsu was mythologized in anime clearly showed that the current society was a society driven by money.
Under capital operation, everything would develop according to capital.
This wasn’t just about ninjutsu.
There were also Tibetan Mastiffs.
Originally, Tibetan Mastiffs were just ordinary dogs from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. After some capital operation, their value skyrocketed, and they were touted as capable of killing tigers.
In the natural world, a Tibetan Mastiff wasn’t even enough to stuff into a tiger’s teeth.
There were also bird’s nests, cordyceps, and donkey-hide gelatin…
These were originally simple health supplements, but through capital operation, they were marketed as supreme, hard-to-find delicacies, costing thousands or tens of thousands, with outrageously high prices.
Chen Feng didn’t want to deal with these; they were just paying for intelligence.
If people wanted to pay for their intelligence, so be it; it wasn’t a big problem.
However, this time, Ieyasu Masao’s attempt to intimidate him with ninjutsu was unacceptable. He wouldn’t tolerate it.
Ninjutsu must be brought down from its pedestal by Chinese traditional martial arts!
Every Chinese person should have this perspective!
It was everyone’s responsibility to curb Japanese arrogance!
After hearing Chen Feng’s explanation, Kaedei Keiko also became curious about who was more powerful between Japanese ninjutsu and Chinese traditional martial arts.
Therefore, Kaedei Keiko directly led Chen Feng to find Ieyasu Masao.
“Keiko, what do you mean by this?”
Ieyasu Masao was furious when Chen Feng and Kaedei Keiko stood before him together.
He had been pursuing Kaedei Keiko for years, but she had never even glanced at him. Now, a Chinese person, who was merely a low-ranking town mayor, appeared before him in such a presumptuous manner.
“Masao, I’ve come to tell you directly. You are not my type; Chen Feng is the one I like. Also, I hope you won’t object to the Kaedei Corporation’s investment in Liangfang Town this time.”
Kaedei Keiko stated her intentions upfront.
Ieyasu Masao became even angrier. This was blatant favoritism!
“Keiko, I can agree to your request and allow the Kaedei Corporation to invest in Liangfang Town. However, the mayor of Liangfang Town, Chen Feng, must have a match with me. If he wins, you two can do whatever you want, and I won’t interfere anymore. But if he loses, this Chen Feng must never appear before you again.”
Ieyasu Masao glared at Chen Feng with bloodshot eyes.
Kaedei Keiko started to worry. If Chen Feng lost, would she never be able to be with him again?
The price was too high!
“Chen Feng, how about we forget it? This time, the Kaedei Corporation won’t invest in Liangfang Town.”
Kaedei Keiko whispered to Chen Feng.
“Miss Kaedei, if the Kaedei Corporation doesn’t invest in Liangfang Town for other reasons, it’s not a big problem. In business, nothing is 100% certain. But the issue is, just because Ieyasu Masao is threatening me with his damn ninjutsu, I’m sorry, but I won’t tolerate this kind of behavior. If you disagree, let’s fight!”
Chen Feng replied decisively.
“Chen Feng, I know you’re quite good at martial arts. But I’m afraid of what might happen…”
Kaedei Keiko continued to whisper.
“Miss Kaedei, rest assured, Chinese traditional martial arts are considered ancestral-level across Asia. A mere ninjutsu is not worth mentioning. Especially a scumbag like Ieyasu Masao, who has ill intentions, is even less of a threat.”
Chen Feng stated righteously.
If it weren’t for considering that Kaedei Keiko was also Japanese, he would have said even harsher things about ninjutsu.
Upon hearing this, Kaedei Keiko stopped trying to dissuade him.
This was a matter of Chen Feng’s dignity as a man. Given Chen Feng’s personality, he would absolutely not back down.
Moreover, considering Ieyasu Masao’s obnoxious behavior, if he wasn’t taught a lesson and his arrogance wasn’t curbed, he would cling to them like a plaster.
“Chen Feng, before you fight, I must remind you that I am a member of the Japanese Ninja Association…”
Ieyasu Masao threatened Chen Feng with a murderous gaze.
“Oh.”
Chen Feng responded dismissively.
This completely enraged Ieyasu Masao. Without another word, he pulled out a medium-sized katana from his clothing.
Chen Feng was startled and took several steps back.
Traditional martial arts were formidable, but they weren’t like in novels where one could fight against an armed opponent with bare hands for three hundred rounds.
That was false and fictional.
There was an old saying in traditional martial arts: an inch longer is an inch stronger.
Whoever had a weapon, and a longer weapon, had the advantage.
A dagger killing a saber was pure fantasy!
“Chen Feng, why did you retreat?”
Kaedei Keiko, who was not far away, asked inexplicably.
Kaedei Keiko didn’t understand martial arts. She simply assumed that Chen Feng’s retreat meant he was showing the white feather.
“Miss Kaedei, Ieyasu Masao has a katana, so we cannot confront him directly.”
Chen Feng replied, feeling a bit dizzy.
“On television, isn’t there unarmed disarming?”
Kaedei Keiko asked with confusion.
“Miss Kaedei, unarmed disarming is what’s shown on television. In novels, protagonists can even slaughter a city by themselves; that’s all artistic embellishment and can’t be believed.”
Chen Feng continued, feeling dizzy.
“Then what should we do?”
Kaedei Keiko pondered for a moment and realized it made sense.
The katana was so sharp that confronting it head-on would definitely lead to a significant disadvantage.
“Quickly, throw me the clothes drying rack next to you.”
Chen Feng shouted.
Kaedei Keiko didn’t hesitate and threw the clothes drying rack to Chen Feng.
When Ieyasu Masao saw the clothes drying rack in Chen Feng’s hand, he burst into laughter.
It was like an international joke, a mere clothes drying rack against a katana that could cut through iron like mud?
