Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 713 - 601 Pleasant Cooperation (Part Two)

"I agree! Now let us discuss our combat deployment..." Justus briefly explained his battle plan.

Next, it was Tong Airui’s turn to speak. After he finished, Marcus sighed silently, thinking these were geniuses of warfare. For a tiny country like R Nation, encountering these three would likely mean the end of their chances for recovery.

At 10:15, R Nation impatiently fired the first shot, and on Yi Luowa’s command, the combined firepower of the three nations was aimed directly at R Nation.

While Sato Xiao continued his desperate resistance, his father, Sato Hara, had already been executed on the spot by Dark Souls forces air-dropped into R Nation’s capital.

Sato Hara’s death news quickly spread across Fang Yao Continent. R Nation plunged into panic, and the warriors’ morale utterly collapsed.

In an attempt to stabilize his troops, Sato Xiao hastily ascended the throne at the border. However, he remained king for less than forty hours before being assassinated in hiding by agents sent by Haotian and Xiawu.

Before Sato Xiao died, he clutched his phone tightly, dialing only four numbers: 1397.

appeared to be within Haotian’s number range. Whom was he trying to contact in his final moments? That question lingered heavily in everyone’s minds like a giant question mark.

Sato Hara was dead. Sato Xiao was also dead. Yi Luowa let out a long breath—R Nation was already within her grasp.

With the tension of the war slightly eased, Yi Luowa took some time to visit her parents. However, she barely had time to sit down before Marcus called her away again.

Queen Haotian looked skeptically at her husband, "Why has Luowa been so busy these days?"

"Didn’t she tell us? She’s in negotiations with foreign merchants to transform the Sanyuandao area into a large commercial hub."

"What’s the rush? Can’t we handle it ourselves once we’re in better shape? Look at her face—she’s completely exhausted!"

Emperor Haotian sighed, "This child takes after you. Once she throws herself into her tasks, she forgets to care for herself. My blood pressure is constantly high—if not for the doctors stopping me, I would’ve insisted on being discharged by now."

"You should wait. Follow the doctors’ advice and get discharged when they say so. For now, we can’t help Luowa, so let’s not add to her troubles."

Emperor Haotian nodded. His wife was right—staying healthy was the best way they could support their daughter.

Yi Luowa left the room and joined Marcus in the command operations center. Once inside, she learned that Sato Shoko had assumed the throne of R Nation amidst the country’s crisis.

"Trying to be a heroine?" Yi Luowa’s lips curled slightly. "Launch another wave of attacks. I want her death to be even more miserable than her father’s and brother’s!"

Yi Luowa sat down and reconnected with Tong Airui and Justus. After finalizing a unified battle plan, the three launched a full-scale assault on R Nation once more.

Battle reports flooded in like snowflakes from the frontlines. Seeing that she was powerless to reverse the situation, Sato Shoko slumped in her leather chair. "Sato Xiao, you fool! Why didn’t you listen to Father and Uncle’s advice? You’ve destroyed both our family and our nation!"

Sato Shoko violently swept everything off the table, her eyes bloodshot, roaring, "Who will tell me how to clean up this mess!?"

"Beep... Beep..." Sato Shoko’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing the flashing number, her eyes filled with hope as she answered the call, "Uncle... Yes!"

After five days and nights of war, the fighting finally ceased, and allied forces from the three nations entered R Nation to clean up the battlefield.

"Princess, Sato Shoko’s body has not been found!"

"Prince, no trace of Sato Shoko has been found!"

"Duke, Sato Shoko has vanished without a trace!"

After completing their battlefield sweep, representatives from all three fronts reported the intel to their respective supreme commanders.

"Without any troops, she’s nothing more than a lone figure!" Tong Airui rubbed his temples and looked up at Yi Luowa, who was reviewing some documents. "Wife, let Marcus handle the remaining matters. You haven’t properly rested in days."

Yi Luowa lifted her gaze from the paperwork. "She’s not entirely alone. There’s still a force!"

"The Royal Shadow Guard?"

"Yes. This unit was likely meant to protect Sato Hara. However, they didn’t appear even when Sato Hara was killed."

Justus frowned. "Although their numbers are small, it wouldn’t be easy for such a force to vanish completely."

Yi Luowa sighed. "We’ve only taken control of R Nation’s surface areas."

Tong Airui froze. "Are you suggesting that, like Haotian in the past, they might also have underground tunnels?"

Yi Luowa nodded. "Warn our people to stay vigilant—if hundreds of them are hiding in the shadows, ambushing us, the losses could be severe."

Tong Airui lightly tapped the table. "I have another theory—they might already be escorting Sato Shoko out of R Nation."

Yi Luowa blinked. "Escaped? Where could they possibly go? What nation would dare harbor her?"

"Her mother’s side hails from ML Nation." As Justus spoke, he picked up the phone. "Seal off the seas!"

After he issued the order, Yi Luowa furrowed her brows. "Do you need our help?"

Justus shook his head. "No, my naval forces are close to ML Nation. It’s the perfect opportunity to wait for them."

Supporting herself on the table, Yi Luowa gradually stood up. "Then we’ll wait for your good news." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Seeing her about to leave, Tong Airui quickly asked, "Wife, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I’m fine," Yi Luowa turned her head toward Marcus. "I’ll have to trouble you to handle the remaining matters. I’m heading over to check on the disaster relief progress."

Marcus sighed helplessly. "You should at least take a nap."

"I can’t sleep. There are too many things waiting for me to deal with..."

"Wife, take a break. Sharpening the axe doesn’t delay splitting wood—stop pushing yourself so hard."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Although Yi Luowa said this, as soon as she left the room, she headed straight for the fourth-floor conference room.

Upon seeing Yi Luowa enter, the staff busy at work immediately stood up to greet her.

Yi Luowa gestured for them to sit down. "How’s the settlement work at the disaster area progressing?"

"About 80% of the affected people have been housed in tents, while others were relocated to towns near the disaster zone."

"Make sure everyone has shelter."

"Yes!"

"Are food and medical supplies sufficient?"

"We have enough food. However, medicines are starting to run low. Duke Airui just sent in a new batch."

Yi Luowa bit her lip gently. Her husband always came through when she needed him most.

"Ensure that supplies are well-stocked. We need self-reliance—not dependency on others."

"Yes!"

"While resettling the affected, begin reconstruction efforts. For this rebuild, focus on preserving arable land. Haotian doesn’t have much fertile land, and the soil in the disaster area is suitable for rice cultivation."

"Are you suggesting centralized housing for the affected population?"

"Yes, build taller structures to consolidate housing." Yi Luowa furrowed her brows slightly. "Draft a reconstruction plan. Once this war is over and I’ve consulted with the prime minister, we’ll start construction."

"Understood."

After addressing several other concerns, Yi Luowa swiftly made her way to her parents’ hospital room.

At this moment, the person she felt most grateful for was Marcus. Without his swift decision to set up their workspace at the royal hospital, she would’ve been overwhelmed.

Yi Luowa quickly reached the hospital room door. The moment her hand touched the handle, her vision suddenly blacked out, and her heart tightened in panic. What was happening to her? She absolutely could not afford to fall ill at a time like this!

Letting go of the handle, Yi Luowa slowly moved to a bench and sat down.

It must be because of sleepless nights. She reassured herself and, once she had regained her composure, she slowly entered her parents’ room.
