Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System-Chapter 416 I’ve Persuaded Myself into This One

"Afraid of dying..."

They believed that anyone in the world could be afraid of death, but definitely not Fang Jueyu. If he feared death, would he still take the risk of passing through this war-torn zone?

"Old Fang, I’m getting more curious about your family background!" Shao Zhou eyed Fang Jueyu like he was some kind of creature.

Publishing high-level articles and winning a Grammy award might be explained by personal talent, but commanding such a massive squadron of fighter jets to escort them, that was something not everyone could do.

They had also witnessed that military exercise, and they knew very well that the Fang Jueyu standing before them, who had been their classmate for three years, was already the youngest general in Huaxia. He had even created an astonishing Mobile Soldier unit that awed the entire world.

But even with such an identity, could he possibly command the African forces?

"Oh, this squadron was sent by the Marquis family from Africa."

"Marquis? I thought it was Mario!" Jiang Yi rolled her eyes. "Stop being mysterious, these are things only you elite people understand. How could we possibly get it? Could you explain it to us?"

"Hmm... how to put it," Fang Jueyu organized his thoughts, "Although the Marquis family never appears on the international stage or in the public eye, they’re considered the landlords of the entire African continent!"

"Do you know what’s the most important thing in Africa?"

"Naturally, it’s those mineral resources," Shao Zhou said without hesitation.

"Exactly!" Fang Jueyu snapped his fingers. "The Marquis family controls the entire African mining industry. You could practically say that all of Africa’s gold mines, diamond mines, crystal mines, among others, are under their control."

"Pfft, someone just said those mines were their family’s!" Jiang Yi remarked.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven’t even finished," Fang Jueyu shot him a look. "I have an ancestor who was the godfather of the founder of the Marquis family. Everything he has was given by my ancestor, so the entire Marquis family serves my Fang Family!"

Now that Fang Jueyu had the means to protect himself in this world, he didn’t need to keep these things a secret. Even if others found out, so what? Even without Gu Yi and the others’ protection, who could touch him?

"Really?"

Everyone was bewildered; such a story seemed as far-fetched as a fairy tale. If what Fang Jueyu said was true, wouldn’t that mean all of Africa was under his command?

Oh my God...

While Fang Jueyu and the others were happily chatting in the sky, the unit that had tried to shoot them down with a missile was now frantically busy.

"Sir, our attack failed!"

"What? How could it fail? This model of surface-to-air missile is fully capable of precision guidance. Even fifth-generation fighter jets struggle to dodge effectively. What on earth happened?"

"Reporting, sir, all four surface-to-air missiles were intercepted. Radar detected 56 new targets, and all of them remained stable and continued moving forward!"

"56 targets?" The officer’s eyes widened, as this was not good news. "Have their identities been confirmed?"

"General, they have. Our original target was a private plane from Huaxia, and the 56 additional fighter jets came from several squadrons across seven countries, all composed of fourth and fifth-generation fighters!"

"56 jets..." Cold sweat broke out on the officer’s forehead. Their entire contingent in this conflict zone had only 24 fighter jets. Just what kind of private plane could summon 56 fighter jets for protection?

What was most shocking was those jets came from seven different countries. He had managed to get military forces from seven countries to dispatch jets for protection? Even if the head of the Federation himself came, they might not command such respect!

"Cease fire, let them pass!" The officer immediately issued the order. Their earlier attack had already been highly risky, and now that their adversary had even sent subordinates, continuing the assault would only provoke them. If those 56 jets targeted their base, a single round of missiles could upend their entire unit.

"But... but sir, the other party just sent a message. They want to hold us accountable for the unprovoked attack."

"What?" The officer’s face changed, "What are they demanding?"

"They said, General Fang Jueyu of Huaxia is coming to vacation near Africa for a week. During this time, we are prohibited from engaging in conflict with the three other countries. If there’s going to be fighting, wait until they leave!"

"What a big mouth, who does he think he is?" The officer was immediately dissatisfied.

Fang Jueyu’s exploits during Africa’s last military exercise had indeed made waves among soldiers worldwide, and this officer was familiar with him.

He was certainly impressive, and his Mobile Soldier unit could sweep across Africa, but he was traveling on a private plane now. While 56 fighter jets seemed a lot, the number of jets these three countries had in the battlefield far exceeded that.

This was a critical period for contending for control of the mineral veins. They had already gained some upper hand, and it was the perfect time to press on for victory. How could they possibly give up because of one person?

The African continent had its own rules, and this was just their own squabble. Fang Jueyu, being from Huaxia, had no right to interfere.

And Fang Jueyu’s reasoning was laughable. He wanted them to pause the war just because he wanted to vacation in Africa for a few days, fearing that the war might disrupt his holiday mood?

Who did he think he is? Expecting everyone to stop a war just for him?

"Reply to him, we can allow them safe passage through the conflict zone, but a ceasefire is out of the question!"

...

"Master, we got a reply from Somalia saying they can let us pass safely through the conflict zone, but they absolutely won’t stop the fighting," Zhuang Ying relayed the response to Fang Jueyu.

"Am I that insignificant?" Fang Jueyu’s face turned bitter. Their travel plan made a country bordering Somalia their primary destination.

Though it wasn’t inside the conflict zone, the borders were in turmoil. How could they not be affected? If explosions went off every few minutes, how would they enjoy their trip or even sleep?

To ensure a week without any interruptions, Fang Jueyu made that request, not even holding them accountable for the earlier missile attack. Yet Somalia showed no respect at all.

"Forget it, Fang Jueyu. Let’s just go to a country a bit farther away. South Africa is pretty nice, right by the ocean. Way more interesting than these landlocked countries."

"No way, I promised to take you to explore the mines, and when I make a promise, I keep it," Fang Jueyu could be quite stubborn about keeping face sometimes. "I’m certainly going to persuade them to settle this matter!"
