Chapter 984: Chapter 984

Li Minhuan quickly rushed to the window, frowning as he gazed at the magic power arrows scattered everywhere.

They were practically like ground-penetrating missiles! The largest one was nearly as wide as a whole building, shining with powerful magical fluctuations, striking fear in the hearts of anyone who saw them.

Soon after, he received a message from Jin Yuxiu through the encrypted channel.

"Chairman Li." Jin Yuxiu’s voice came through.

"What have you done?" Li Minhuan took a deep breath, trying to restrain his anger, "Why are you here? How much money do you want? What do you really want?"

"It’s not money I want, it’s peace."

"Peace?" Li Minhuan gritted his teeth; the best opportunity to unify Silla was today, yet Jin Yuxiu was speaking of peace!

"The arrows I launched are magical weapons I created, remote sensing explosion arrows. You know my power is limitless; once I detonate them, you understand the consequences." Jin Yuxiu threatened.

While dealing with Jin Yuxiu, Li Minhuan also instructed his Witch Countermeasure Department to investigate as quickly as possible.

"Chairman! It will take at least 8~12 hours to disarm these arrows, and if they explode, at least a radius of 20 to 30 miles will be destroyed! That means we will lose 60% of the population and production capacity..." the people in the Countermeasure Department had made a preliminary assessment.

Li Minhuan returned to his desk with a heavy heart.

He looked at the electronic strategic map, observing the AI Tactical Calculation Troops’ movements, depicted as large red arrows pointing north.

Without Jin Yuxiu blocking the way, they would have already crossed the ceasefire line heading straight for Xin City.

But... it was blocked by such a witch.

The strongest witch under Li Minhuan was only a high-ranking witch. He realized that selling Jin Yuxiu back then to recoup funds was definitely a major mistake by the board! If the board had been willing to tighten their belts and money to help the company through the crisis back then, it wouldn’t have come to selling the only strong person in Silla.

Just for those tens of billions, selling the only warrior of Silla? Li Minhuan was too young at the time to control the situation, but if it were him today, he would never make such a mistake.

Jin Yuxiu serving Jialong Slope and Nestor Corporation won’t ever return to Modern Entertainment Company now.

"Don’t forget, our army is heading north to help General Yin Changmin control the situation. Your actions have already violated company law. We will hold you, and your Jialong Slope mercenaries, as well as Kanako Xisheng Company, accountable." Li Minhuan reminded while secretly discussing countermeasures with other advisors.

"I might be punished, but I would rather not see a second Silla Civil War, making millions homeless. Your rhetoric cannot deceive anyone. As long as you withdraw your troops, my arrows won’t explode; they will disarm by themselves." Jin Yuxiu said coldly.

The Dominator Witch... There are only about twenty publicly known in the world, and without Jin Yuxiu, Modern Entertainment Company truly can’t find a powerful witch to rival her.

Unless aid from Xia is introduced...

But worldwide, who dares to say they can surely defeat Jin Yuxiu?

They would also consider that if the Dominator Witch they send gets wounded by Jin Yuxiu, the loss outweighs the gain.

Thinking of this, Li Minhuan also felt regret.

Why didn’t I feel this way before?

Li Minhuan shook his head, looking at the magical power arrows outside the window, which shone blue and warned like a beacon.

If the fight continues, they will explode, and before South Silla wins, his own land will become ashes.

Earlier, witches were controlled by chips and modification technology, and were merely corporate war machines. At that time, he didn’t feel any power from witches.

After Jin Yuxiu left Modern Entertainment Company for years and returned like a god to arbitrate mortal disputes, Li Minhuan finally realized the terror of witches.

What is forbidden by the gods, mortals cannot do.

Li Minhuan cut the communication with Jin Yuxiu, intending to devise a plan before dealing with her again.

He felt a sharp pain in his palm and realized his nails had pierced his own palm.

Li Minhuan casually wiped on the smart desktop, and his gaze fell upon his father’s personality disk fragments.

Ah... Father, Li Minhuan thought bitterly. I fear this lifetime will leave me too ashamed to speak to you again.

In the Afterlife World, you can scold your child for his incompetence.

In the remaining time in this world, perhaps I can only look at that uncrossable ceasefire line.

On the other side, at the ceasefire line, Jin Yuxiu was relieved to find those advancing troops retreating in an orderly manner.

It seems this war won’t be fought after all.

A single witch prevented an internal war and saved the lives of millions!

Money won’t be wasted on conflict and civil war, and the Silla people don’t have to fire at their blood-related compatriots.

But——something feels off.

What if Modern Entertainment Company wins?

A frightening thought surfaced in Jin Yuxiu’s mind.

... What if I let Modern Entertainment Company unify the entire Silla?

Doesn’t the poverty of North Silla compared to the prosperity of South Silla prove the company’s advancement? Compared to that fat and vulgar Li Gaoping, the current chairman, Li Minhuan, is a man of talent and strategy.

Perhaps under his control, the Silla Peninsula could develop better?

Jin Yuxiu didn’t have a pleasant time under Li Gaoping.

When Wei Shiyue once incinerated Li Gaoping and dozens of ministers with a blaze of dragon fire, Jin Yuxiu was happy for several months, joyful at the mere thought of the scene.

With Li Gaoping dead, Jin Yuxiu’s dislike for the south wasn’t as strong anymore, but she still feared the poverty of the north.

No matter the system, no matter the social structure, isn’t it all about whether the people live well, are materially sufficient? Comparing the north and south now—

"Let’s go." Xu Yang took Jin Yuxiu and Takahashi Kyoko onto the shuttle machine, "Let’s go take a look at Xin City."

The shuttle machine took only ten minutes to reach the sky over Xin City. Jin Yuxiu casually looked down at Xin City and saw it had changed greatly.

"What a large city... It’s much bigger than I remember." Jin Yuxiu observed. She had thought Xin City was a poor place, but now it seemed quite orderly and attractive.

"During the aftermath of winning the civil war, they enthusiastically built the new Xin City. Look at these huge streets laid out in grids, the new museums, schools, huge hospitals, administrative center, information service center, workers’ park, grand cultural palace..." Xu Yang said.

"It’s so beautiful." Jin Yuxiu couldn’t help but say.

Although covered in snow, Xin City presented a kind of magnificent beauty, with giant worker model statues and a war memorial hall still half-constructed.

"Under the guidance of progressive theories, the North Silla people attempted to build a happy world on earth, but they failed." Xu Yang looked down at all of this.
