CHAPTER 1018: CHAPTER 1016: TASTY SHIT

"No, I’m not going to Japan, not for now." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said, "Sister Lan, inform the company to suspend all operations in Japan. Shut down the LOL servers, and send reminders to those with installment plans for the Shadow phones! No need for them to pay off defaults all at once, but send at least three messages a day!"

"Yes!" Liang Lan breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they weren’t causing a fuss in Japan, everything else was negotiable.

"What’s your name?" Lu Xiaobu turned to Zhang Tie, "I owe you thanks this time!"

He remembered it was this kid who discovered his signal and even took a beating.

"My name is Zhang Tie!" Zhang Tie responded with immense pride, "It’s my honor!"

"Alright, cut the pleasantries. Tell me, what do you want?" Lu Xiaobu laughed.

"Uh..." Zhang Tie fell into contemplation.

As a member of the hundred-thousand-strong Iron Cavalry, he knew that Young Master Bu’s words meant a reward beyond money.

After all, money was a given in the Lu Group.

What he wanted was an extra reward beyond wealth.

"I... I want revenge with my own hands!" Zhang Tie suddenly said.

As part of the Lu Family’s Iron Cavalry, he had never suffered such a loss!

Although he knew Young Master Bu would avenge, how could it be enough without seeing it himself?!

"Sure!" Lu Xiaobu nodded, "In a few days, you and this group will go to Japan again, and you’ll have the final say."

"Thank you, Young Master Bu!" Zhang Tie was instantly thrilled.

"Alright, Sister Lan, allocate five hundred million to give bonuses to all the brothers involved in the rescue, including those from the Xue and Lin Families." Lu Xiaobu instructed again.

"Understood!" Liang Lan nodded.

...

The news of Lu Group’s complete withdrawal from Japan quickly spread out.

"Lu Group, due to this unjust accusation, announces a complete withdrawal from Japan"

This news, without a doubt, added insult to injury for Japan!

It was previously said that Lu Group’s products had long been silently integrated into the basic lives of the people in Japan.

Especially now, after Japan had just gone through what seemed like a calamity, the withdrawal news of Lu Group might not impact their economy much, but the psychological blow was absolutely immense!

It’s like a baby who just got slapped and is comforting itself with a pacifier, but Lu Xiaobu ruthlessly pulls the pacifier away.

What do you do if the baby cries?!

So!

Countless Japanese people venting in games found themselves unable to log back in after finishing a game!

"Baka! This routine again?! Shutting down servers again?! What’s this got to do with us?! We didn’t wrong you!"

"Damn it! I just reached Gold rank today! Why close it again?!"

"Baka! We had scheduled a practice match with America’s team, what now?!"

"Insane! Insane! Lu Xiaobu, this madman, is trouble once provoked!"

"..."

Numerous homebodies, crazily stormed the streets, grabbing fatty happy water from the people withdrawing products!

"I knew it! I knew it! There’s no good outcome antagonizing Lu Xiaobu! Why did the Emperor bother provoking him?!"

"Exactly, why insist on rebuilding the Jingguo Shrine once it’s closed?! Isn’t this asking for trouble?!"

"Why should we bear the consequences of your mistakes?!"

"How am I supposed to live without my sweet, sweet soda?!"

"..."

Some may ask, are the people of Japan that brainless?! Elder Feng, has your brain cramped up?!

After all, Lu Xiaobu has bullied them to the max, and they still have this attitude, whining over a soda and a game!

But isn’t this the reality?!

The recent dog shit brand’s insult to China incident, how many came out to whitewash it?!

And with the recent 5G disputes, how many willingly fawned over others, mocking our own things?!

Humans! Don’t think you’re too smart!

As the old saying goes, the world is bustling for profit!

If you don’t touch my interests, anything can be discussed!

You touch my interests, flood or no flood, I curse you!

Alright, drifting away from the topic, back to business!

Lu Xiaobu’s plan to pull the pacifier immediately caused a huge wave in Japan.

Some cursed, some resented, some vowed never to use the products again, and some profiteered from the chaos.

But, regardless of the attitude, the incident was snowballing worse!

And as it escalated, the previous incident of the Japan Emperor’s scandalous dance was constantly brought up!

Each mention was a stab to the heart of the Japan Emperor, causing him unbearable pain!

The Japan Prime Minister knew he couldn’t wait any longer. He sighed, looking at the ceiling, and helplessly said, "Go ahead, announce that the culprit has been eliminated!"

After saying this, he closed his eyes, unwilling to face the world any longer!

Do you know what this means?!

It means that the Japanese officials intend to cover Lu Xiaobu’s misdeeds!

Admitting that none of this was Lu Xiaobu’s doing!

How humiliating is this, to the point where they must smile and say—it’s delicious!

He didn’t want to, he knew it was humiliating, he knew uttering this would make him the sinner of Japan!

But what else could be done?!

Continue letting Lu Xiaobu provoke the Japan Emperor!?

Continue letting Lu Xiaobu sprinkle salt in the Emperor’s wounds?!

Lately, the Imperial Palace was already reeking of rotting corpses; if they waited any longer, it would be rivers of blood!

It’s not even ruled out that the increasingly mad Emperor might command Japan’s left-wing factions to start some riots!

Don’t doubt it!

Is it strange for an Emperor who casually orders killings to do such things?!

Not at all!

If these speculations come true, it would be an irreparable huge disaster!

So, this shit has to be eaten, and eaten with a smile!

The announcement sent shockwaves around the world!

"Oh my god! I feel Japan is going to die from anger!"

"Not just die from anger! It’s like dying from rage and then coming back alive with more rage!"

"This Lu Xiaobu is way too fierce! With a mere gesture, poof! No issues at all?!"

"Who says otherwise! The guy escaped, and now, not even charged!"

"Respect! I really respect him! I used to think Zhuge Liang in ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms’ was all made up, but now, it might just be true!"

"Lu Xiaobu is truly amazing, so amazing, hasn’t even returned home, and he’s already rid of charges!"

"Terrifying, terrifying! So terrifying!"

"Could it be that Lu Xiaobu planned all of this?! Or was it all just a series of coincidences?!"
