Chapter 2449 Releasing the Tiger Back to the Mountain?

Chapter 2449

Jiang Wan shook her head and said, "No, of course not."

"I originally thought we would go back after this Martial Arts Alliance Tournament ended."

"I don't want to get involved in these matters anymore; after all, they are other countries' internal affairs."

"But now that things have developed to this point, why don't we go all out?"

Li Chengze was puzzled and asked in confusion, "How do we play for the big prize?"

Jiang Wan silently curled the corners of her lips and said, "Aren't they trying to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"

"How about we change our perspective and position? Let them be the snipe and the clam, and we'll be the fisherman."

On the second day, the semi-finals officially began.

The semi-finals were divided into three days: the first day was for the 38 teams to be narrowed down to 19, and the second day was for the 19 teams to be narrowed down to 10.

Tomorrow they will advance to the semifinals, and the final day will determine the champion, runner-up, and third-place winner.

Therefore, the first day of the semi-finals will be divided into a morning session and an afternoon session. During the morning session, 38 people will go on stage to draw lots.

Then they will face off in pairs according to the order drawn.

The same method was used in the afternoon, except that when it came to the round of 19 to 10, there would definitely be an extra round, and it would depend on who was lucky enough to get a bye and advance directly to the next round.

At 8:00 a.m., all contestants went on stage to draw lots and the official competition began.

Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng arrived, but each of them had a different expression on their face.

Jiang Wan was still thinking about tomorrow's plans; they didn't intend for the competition to actually go on until the last day.

If it really goes down to the last day.

There's probably no room for maneuver; they have to strike first.

At this moment, looking at the viewing platform opposite the podium, one can see that people from all four major families have come over.

Therefore, the venue organizers set up five boxes in the opposite stands, with the middle one reserved for the president and his entourage.

The four smaller side rooms on either side were arranged for the four major families.

At this moment, it's in the last room on the left.

All members of the Cui family were present. The head of the Cui family watched the duel on the stage with a gloomy expression and asked in a low voice:

"Has Miyata not returned yet?"

The servant replied, "No, he only said he was going to see his daughter, but he hasn't returned yet."

He paused, then added, "Something similar happened before."

"I reckon he should be back before tonight."

The head of the Cui family was not so optimistic. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "We're about to take action. It's very irrational for him to be running around like this. He's not usually that irrational, so something bad might happen to him."

He paused, then asked, "Do you know where he went yesterday?"

His subordinates all remained silent, indicating that they did not know.

The head of the Cui family had three sons. The eldest son stood up and said with a fierce expression:

"Since the plan has already been set, it doesn't matter whether he's there or not, so why bother looking for him?"

The head of the Cui family said, "Nonsense. If he is taken away by the Li family, and he reveals our plans, we will be at a disadvantage."

The second son then said indignantly, "So what?"

"The advantage is now in our hands. We have been biding our time for so many years. In fact, we could have confronted the Seven Star Group a long time ago."

"It's just that you've always said we should hide our strength, so we've kept a low profile until now. Now it's time for us to show our true colors. So what if the Li family knows about our plans?"

"With US military bases and Japanese people backing us up, even if we fight openly, we have a very high chance of winning."

After he finished speaking, the head of the Cui family raised his hand and threw the cup in his hand at him. The cup hit him directly on the head and then fell to the ground.

Torn apart.

Upon seeing this, the second son knelt down with a thud, letting the blood drip down his forehead, not daring to utter a single word.

He knew his father was angry, and although he was resentful, he had no choice but to show his attitude.

The head of the Cui family snorted coldly and said, "How could I have such a stupid son as you?"

"Even if we won back then, what difference would it make?"

Do you really think US military bases and Japan are anything good?

"At that time, they will be the first to push us out as scapegoats. Then it won't be the Seven Star Group going against us, but our Cui family going against the entire country of H on our own."

"Even if we gain a temporary advantage, how long do you think that advantage can last?"

"In the end, the entire Cui family will be destroyed, and all of you will die without a burial place."

His words were extremely harsh and ruthless, and everyone present immediately knelt down, heads bowed and silent.

But in fact, her body was already trembling slightly.

The Cui family snorted coldly, picked up another cup, and someone came up to pour tea.

He took a small sip and sighed, "We must think through the worst-case scenario before we do anything, otherwise we'll just be at the mercy of others."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the four major families, and while you're at it, activate the secret agents we've hidden within them."

"Let's see if they make any unusual moves."

"If Miyata also exposes our secret, the four major families will definitely make a move."

He paused for a moment and then said, "We can start moving the moles we've planted at the Presidential Palace now. We need to make sure the President comes here to present the awards on the last day of the competition. It would be even better if we could bring the Minister of National Defense and the Minister of Finance with us."

"By then, the president, the defense minister, the finance minister, and if we can add the military minister, we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"The four major families also suffered heavy losses, and the country's core high-end forces are basically gone."

"If his people take the initiative and move up, then the entire country of H will be under his control."

The head of the Cui family couldn't help but beam with joy whenever he thought of that possibility.

He could almost see himself becoming a local tyrant, the ruler of a country, in a beautiful, dreamlike vision.

Although H country now has a presidential system and no longer a monarchy, what man doesn't dream of being an emperor?

It's just a matter of whether it can be achieved.

Before he could even wake up from his dream, someone came to report that Miyata had also returned, bringing his daughter Chie with him.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Cui family felt relieved.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

Before long, Miyata brought Chie in as well.

After the two entered, Chie stood obediently to one side, head down and silent, appearing gentle and virtuous.

The head of the Cui family glanced at Qianhui's face; the little girl had a baby face.

Her voice is also like a loli, the kind of voice men like. No wonder Chie was so popular in Japan.

The head of the Cui family knew that many of Miyata Riya's connections and projects were brought back through Chie.

Now he can finally see Chie in person, which is really not easy.
