I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 538: The Treasure Money Hasn’t Arrived Yet

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: The Treasure Money Hasn’t Arrived Yet

Nara, a historical famous city in Japan, the successor of the Tang Dynasty’s elegance.

Lu Zheng and Lin Wan strolled through the famous Todaiji Temple, where various styles mixed with Tang and Japanese influence, and rather harmoniously at that.

"No wonder those who lived well back then said that Chinese heritage resides in Japan; they do have something worthwhile."

Lin Wan counted on her fingers one by one, "Architecture, painting and calligraphy, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, Tang swords, Tang martial arts..."

Lu Zheng nodded, "What a pity, they only learned the surface but not the essence." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Lin Wan couldn’t help but chuckle, "Economic base determines the superstructure. Back in the day, Japan’s culture was what we learned from."

Lu Zheng replied with a smile, "That’s also the surface. After all, Japan does a good job with appearances, and we have to admit that."

"So what is the essence?"

"Most citizens are ordinary. The essence is whether there are heroes who find inspiration in their own culture to lead the country on the right path during a crisis," Lu Zheng said. "You can see this from the fact that Hua Country never left the historic podium."

Lin Wan laughed and retorted, "The instructor learned Hans Country’s Marxism."

Lu Zheng laughed, "Embracing all kinds, drawing from the strengths of many, among three people there must be a teacher; Marx said workers are the greatest, the instructor, however, walked the path of rural encirclement of cities."

Lin Wan nodded, unable to refute. In truth, many aspects of communism share commonalities with the hundred schools of thought and Hua Country’s traditions, but it is indeed more timely and progressive.

Arguably, compared to the fallen red giant, Hua Country is more like its rightful heir.

"It’s a big weekend; we are meant for pleasure, why are we discussing politics out of nowhere?"

Lu Zheng laughed, "A man without political opinions, is he still a man? These things, the old man under the Beidu city wall base can talk to you all day long."

Lin Wan smiled slightly, "I know very well whether you are a man or not, there’s no need for political opinions to prove it."

Lu Zheng, "..."

How did the topic suddenly shift?

"Matsuda Kenji is indeed interested; actually put the meeting point in Todaiji Temple."

"I heard he’s a Buddhist, and a very devout one at that."

Lu Zheng’s lips curled faintly, "Praying for Buddha’s protection, so he doesn’t suffer nightmares in daily life, and not to fall into hell after death?"

Lin Wan’s eyes flashed coldly, looking at the distant Great Hero Hall, "Perhaps, who knows if Buddha can protect him?"

Matsuda Kenji, another shareholder of an overseas Japanese school, is much more vicious than Itoh Daisuke, having entered Hua Country earlier, interfering in smuggling business, and especially loves establishing high-pollution enterprises, extracting Hua Country’s blood before slowly withdrawing.

More importantly, his father is enshrined in Jingguo Shrine.

Lu Zheng said, "This time, I’ll act, since he’s so trusting in Buddha, let’s make him live in a nightmare all the time."

Lin Wan naturally had no objections.

The two strolled along the way and soon arrived at the back courtyard of Todaiji Temple, where tourists weren’t allowed entry. Yet, the monks and Matsuda Group’s security in the courtyard all overlooked their presence.

The two wandered and soon found Matsuda Kenji in the zen room at the back courtyard, discussing Zen over tea with the host.

An old Japanese man who looked quite serious, with rosy cheeks and vigorous energy, seemed as if he could live at least another ten years.

With a flick of the finger, the Nightmare Curse was cast onto Matsuda Kenji’s forehead by Lu Zheng.

"Eh?"

The host lightly exclaimed, looking at Matsuda Kenji sipping his tea.

"What’s wrong?" Matsuda Kenji asked.

The host shook his head, having just seen a flash of black aura on Matsuda Kenji’s forehead, but upon closer inspection, couldn’t see it anymore.

"Old age, it’s just my eyes playing tricks," the host laughed.

Matsuda Kenji, with old age, likes flattery. If the host were to say he saw black aura on his forehead, wouldn’t it be asking for trouble?

Thus, the host merely smiled and continued brewing tea, continuing to discuss Zen with Matsuda Kenji.

...

After casting the Nightmare Curse on Matsuda Kenji, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan didn’t hurry to leave but continued to explore Todaiji Temple, occasionally using Illusion Technique to alter people’s perception, then revealing themselves to take a picture; they had quite a good time.

Until noon, it was time to eat.

What to do?

This is the benefit of Japan not yet having widespread mobile payments.

Lu Zheng raised his hand; the yen they exchanged when traveling to Japan still hadn’t been spent yet.

"What about identity?"

"Illusion Technique will do."

So the two flew to Osaka, ordered a bowl of eel rice each, ate to their fill, and when prepared to leave, saw a plane taking off from the nearby Osaka base.

The two had sharp visions and certainly saw the Lighthouse Country’s military insignia on the plane.

Lin Wan wiped her mouth with a tissue, raised her eyebrow, looking at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng patted his stomach, "After the meal, how about taking a walk before heading back?"

Lin Wan chuckled lightly, "Alright!"

...

That afternoon, the Lighthouse Country’s military stationed in Japan announced that due to sudden air streams, two fighter jets collided and crashed, fortunately without causing any casualties.

...

"Though it’s small skirmishes, if a couple fall every week, over time he might not withstand it, right?" Lu Zheng asked.

Lin Wan couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "It’s more than just not withstanding; even if you act naturally, they’ll likely start an investigation."

"We can change the cause," Lu Zheng shrugged, "Before exposing ourselves, what can they find out? If they can’t uncover anything, then this is national destiny, the decline of the Lighthouse Country’s fate, alas."

"Speaking of the Lighthouse Country..."

Lin Wan blinked, "Did you receive the money from the St. Miguel’s treasure auction special event?"

"Oh right!" Lu Zheng suddenly remembered, "It’s been half a month, why hasn’t my secret account received any funds?"

Since Lu Zheng rarely spends money and isn’t lacking, the previous payment of ten million US dollars from Grant still lies untouched in the encrypted account, so he really never paid attention to this money.

However...

Not caring is one thing, but it doesn’t mean others can swallow this money.

Lu Zheng squinted his eyes, "Could Grant be so bold?"

He had scared Grant with the Dream-Entering Technique, then demonstrated Remote Control upon waking, yet he still dared, preferring money over life?

"It may not be Grant," Lin Wan pondered, "Maybe it’s the FBI or CIA."

Lu Zheng raised his brow, "Because of the Allen Art Company?"

Lin Wan reasoned, "Possible, consider it; they got St. Miguel’s information from Allen Art Company, and shortly after obtaining the clue, the shipwreck treasure appeared. Naturally, they’d suspect a connection. The key point is Allen Art Company was attacked at that time, and 18 pieces of artwork were stolen."

Lu Zheng, "..."

"I was careless, didn’t expect Grant to leak this matter."
