Meanwhile in Tokyo, Japan.
The riches and the nobles were gathering at the palace.
It was a national celebration as their emperor was having his seventieth birthday.
The emperor was the highest leader of Japan, and his birthday was being celebrated majestically.
On this day, not only elites from all industries and fields came to congratulate, but even martial arts elite like Mochizuki Kawa, the Sword God, came to express their congratulations.
“Has Moon God not showed up yet?”
The celebration had not yet started. Mochizuki Kawa furrowed his brows and was inquiring about this matter to his subordinate.
Tsukuyomi Tenshin, the Moon God, was the highest representative in Japan's martial arts world.
As it was the emperor's birthday, even if he did not come personally, he should at least have sent some
gifts.
It was beneficial for the unity of the country.
With that, Mochizuki Kawa had sent his men to Sanshin Organization to remind Moon God to prepare something for the emperor.
To his disappointment, his men failed to meet with Moon God even after paying a visit several times.
“Forget it. If Moon God doesn't want to give a gift, let it be. After all, I can be a representative too as the Sword Shrine Head Priest.”
In the end, Mochizuki Kawa let out a sigh and gave up on waiting.
Boom...
Just then, several salutes roared.
The emperor's birthday banquet officially kicked off.
The first event was congratulatory messages and gift offerings from all representatives.
“Director Chiike, it will be your turn soon. Please get ready.”
Chiike Shizuka had donned a red gown full of grace and luxury among the guests.
The once youthful and tender face now reflected maturity and authority.
“Okay, Granddad. Please call me when it is my turn. Grandpa Iwai, please continue your story about Ye Fan.”
After responding to Miyamoto Nakanosuke, Chiike Shizuka shifted her attention back to Iwai Zen, listening to the latter talking about the first battle of Chu Sect.
It had been a long time since she heard about Ye Fan.
To Chiike Shizuka, Ye Fan was like a meteor born out of nowhere and suddenly appeared in her shadowy world, instantly illuminating her whole life.
Before he appeared, Chiike Shizuka was nothing more than an irrelevant member of her family.
Ye Fan showed up and pushed her to the pinnacle of her life. He handed the largest consortium in Japan into her hands.
Chiike Shizuka had been wanting to go to China to
find Ye Fan.
However, she did not have the courage to do so.
They only met by chance, and she doubted if Ye Fan would still remember her.
Hence, she hid her sense of longing for him deeply in her heart all these years.
Until a month ago, she heard that Ye Fan sent his men and took Iwai Zen away.
Thus, after Iwai Zen returned, Chiike Shizuka kept asking the former to tell her about Ye Fan.
This was the only thing she cared about, even though it was the emperor's birthday.
Yet, a while later, Iwai Zen suddenly stopped talking. His expression changed after taking out something from his pocket and glancing at it.
“Grandpa Iwai, what's wrong?”
Chiike Shizuka's face turned pale as she noticed Iwai Zen's expression.
“Director Chiike, something major has happened.
Dragon Master seems to be in trouble. Dragon God Hall has just issued the highest level Dragon God Token!”
The color drained from Iwai Zen's face.
He had joined Dragon God Hall for many years and had gone through thick and thin.
What made the Dragon God Hall issue the highest level summon? It must be something unimaginable!
Iwai Zen's heart fell with a thud.
