The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

At this moment, Uesugi Masao's face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. If he agreed, then from now on the Uesugi Group would no longer be the Uesugi family, but would be renamed Ye.

But if they disagree, then the Uesugi Group will no longer be the Uesugi family's entity, but will have to change its name to Mitsui...

Seeing her brother's conflicted expression, Uesugi Asuka leaned closer and whispered something.

"Brother..., should we...?"

"Shut up, don't say a word!"

Masao Uesugi glared at Asuka Uesugi, growled, then suddenly stood up and bowed to Ye Linyuan.

"Ye Sang, I'll sign!"

Sign, shake hands, take a photo!

After completing the entire process, Masao Uesugi slumped in his chair, as if all his strength had been drained.

Ye Linyuan carefully put away the contract, then looked at Uesugi Asuka instead of Uesugi Masao.

"Ms. Uesugi, from today onwards, you will be the Ye family's special assistant in the Thousand Sun Kingdom, responsible for handling all liaison matters between the Ye family and the Uesugi Group. Any questions?"

Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Masao Uesugi, whose face had become a thousand times uglier than before. She quickly lowered her head, not wanting her own brother to see her joy.

"......No."

Ye Linyuan stood up and walked towards the door.

"Alright, then remember to come see me the day after tomorrow morning, Ms. Uesugi. Oh, by the way, Ms. Uesugi, there's something I need to say upfront."

"Please speak."

"I don't care if you came here voluntarily or forced to. Since you're here, you have to do something. I don't keep idle people or pretty faces here. If you do well, I won't treat you unfairly. If you don't, get out of here as soon as possible, understand?"

"......clear."

"very good."

Ye Linyuan left with Xiao Ruoxi, Luo Qingyue, and Liu Yanran, leaving behind a deathly silent conference room.

Masao Uesugi looked at the contract in his hand, then at his sister, and suddenly covered his face, his expression turning terribly grim.

He originally thought that since he had sold the Uesugi Group, he should at least get some benefits, but in the end, all the benefits were taken by his own younger sister!

Even though they're both from the Uesugi family, brothers still keep clear accounts, let alone a younger sister who's going to get married eventually!

Thinking of this, Uesugi Masao's expression darkened even further.

What am I to them?

He emptied his family's savings to make a dowry for Asuka, and it was a dowry that he didn't get any benefit from at all!

As for Uesugi Asuka standing next to her, she didn't say anything at this moment, but clenched her fists, and there seemed to be small flames flickering in her eyes.

She studied business administration and had always wanted to get involved in the affairs of the conglomerate. However, on the one hand, the Uesugi conglomerate was now completely infiltrated by the Mitsui conglomerate, and the Uesugi family had no place in any of the positions. On the other hand, she didn't want to put her own brother in a difficult position, and she understood her brother's situation.

That means someone with little ability but enormous ambition!

As for now...

I was just going with the flow...

Three days later, at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, a private plane slowly landed. As the cabin door opened, more than twenty men dressed in black combat uniforms and fully armed stepped out.

The leader was a bald, burly man with a scar on his face and the Blackwater logo tattooed on his neck.

"Hey, Ye, long time no see."

John spotted Ye Linyuan not far away, strode up to him, grinned, and revealed a mouthful of white teeth.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Ye Linyuan bumped fists with him, a smile on his face as well.

"It's been quite a while. Did you bring everyone?"

"Of course, I'll satisfy any need you have. Besides, you're my big spender."

John pointed behind him

"A battalion of 240 men, all highly skilled. Apart from those who need to guard the equipment, the rest have already entered the Thousand Sun Kingdom in batches. To be honest, the security defenses of the Thousand Sun Kingdom are not strict at all. We just sneaked in."

"And equipment and such. Gun smuggling in the Thousand Sun Kingdom is more serious than we imagined. My men easily obtained a large number of all kinds of firearms and ammunition, and even missiles."

"What the hell? A missile?"

Ye Linyuan was genuinely shocked. He knew John had connections to unconventional methods, but this was too outrageous! He even managed to get his hands on missiles?

"Yes, not just the Type 12 anti-ship missile, but also the missile launcher. A whole launcher plus six missiles only cost $20 million. Although they're all Japanese products, they're still missiles, so I took the opportunity to have someone buy three sets plus an extra 60 Type 12 anti-ship missiles. Let me tell you, Ye, these Japanese are really stingy. I bought so many, and they didn't even offer a discount. It cost me a full $250 million!"

John said that, to be honest, he was so shocked when he received the report from his subordinates that his jaw dropped. Even Blackwater could only get their hands on this stuff in the Middle East. This was the first time he had ever seen it in East Asia.

And the ones selling these are actually people from the Thousand-Day Kingdom itself...

Ye Linyuan knew perfectly well what John was saying to him; he just wanted him to spend more money. But then again, maybe he really would have to use those funds this time.

News has come from within Japan that the government of the Thousand-Day Kingdom is mobilizing funds, and there have been unusual movements within the Self-Defense Forces. By any measure, it seems preparations for action are underway...

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. We agreed on ten million US dollars a day, with equipment wear and tear to be calculated separately. I've already had 5000 million US dollars transferred to your company's account. I'll also transfer an additional 1 million US dollars to you. You might actually need those missiles you mentioned. If it exceeds this amount, we'll make up the difference later."

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's call, John rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with excitement.

"Great! Doing business with you, Ye, is so comfortable. No need for haggling or scheming. So, tell me, who are we going to target this time?"

"Yamaguchi-gumi".

John was taken aback, and subconsciously asked to confirm.

"The Yamaguchi-gumi? The biggest yakuza group in Japan? Ye, why did you provoke them? We're on their turf right now."

Ye Linyuan still wore a gentle smile, but his tone turned cold.

"This time it wasn't me who provoked them, it was them who provoked me. Their boss, Yamaguchi Hiroshi, wants to kill me."

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's words, John's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Fuck! They really deserve to be killed! Okay, Ye, you tell us what to do, and we'll do it! When do we make our move?"

Ye Linyuan already knew about John's impatient nature, and waved his hand with a smile.

"Don't rush, we have help."
