Redemption of a Born Demon-Chapter 67: Coming and Going Freely, Dispatching a Motorcade to Send Off the Celestial Demon (Part 2)
The Donghua Embassy in Siam.
"Still no reply from the Siamese side?"
Shi Xin, the ambassador to Siam, paced anxiously in his office.
"No word yet. We’ve heard the Siam Royal Palace is under total lockdown. We also just received word that the Starry Sky Country seems to be putting pressure on Siam."
"I’m afraid this matter won’t be resolved so easily,"
A young minister sighed.
Entering another country’s territory without warning, causing considerable casualties and social unrest... this was already an extremely serious diplomatic incident. It would be a miracle if they caved easily.
Meanwhile, the home office kept calling to ask for updates, constantly adding to the pressure. It was a really difficult position for them.
He felt a little resentful. ’That man acted so recklessly, stirred up all this trouble, and in the end, we’re the ones who have to clean up his mess.’
’Body Ascension, he says? Does he really think he can just run rampant across the world?’
’He’s completely lost his mind.’
"For now, my recommendation is to prioritize de-escalation. We need to ensure Mr. Yi doesn’t come to fatal harm while our Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to apply pressure. Meanwhile, we’ll contact local influential figures and dignitaries who are friendly to us and see if they can put in a good word."
The young man laid out his plan. Despite his personal complaints, he wouldn’t let his emotions interfere with his work.
Since the higher-ups wanted to protect this person, they naturally had to give it their all.
"Keep sending messages to the Siamese side... No, forget it. I’ll go to the Siam Royal Palace myself and see if I can get an audience with the Siam King to discuss this in person."
"Xiaowang, you stay in contact with the home office, and also reach out to the Qinnan and Sivado families here in Siam. See if we can leverage..."
Ambassador Shi nodded. But before they could act, before he could even finish his sentence, the office door was pushed open.
"Mr. Ambassador, the Siamese side just called. They said they’ve prepared a motorcade to escort Mr. Yi out of the country. They hope our embassy will send someone to accompany them to keep Mr. Yi calm and prevent him from doing anything drastic."
The embassy staff member said in a low voice.
What?!
Ambassador Shi and Xiaowang could hardly believe their ears.
One moment they were being stonewalled, an army laying siege, and the next, their attitude did a complete one-eighty?
They were actually dispatching a motorcade to personally escort him out of the country?
"What happened? What kind of deal did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strike with them?"
It was the only reason Ambassador Shi could think of.
"That’s not it. We just received intel. Apparently, Siam sent a Saint who had achieved Body Ascension, known as the ’Eight-armed Celestial Net,’ to the Great Bao Lian Temple to negotiate with Mr. Yi. But we don’t know what happened—this Eight-armed Celestial Net was somehow subdued by Mr. Yi and is now his hostage."
"In order to save this person’s life, Siam agreed to Mr. Yi’s demands. They’re asking us to send someone over because they’re worried Mr. Yi will do something rash and kill the hostage."
The staff member explained in a low voice.
Hearing this, Shi Xin and Xiaowang looked at each other, speechless.
’Surrounded by an army, heavily besieged, and they even sent in an expert of the same caliber, yet Mr. Yi still managed to take him hostage?’
It was safe to say that the resolution of this incident had almost nothing to do with them. Even without their involvement, with such a key figure in his hands, it seemed Mr. Yi would have had no problem leaving Siam safely.
’A man like that...’
They never would have imagined—never would have dared to imagine—that an international dispute they viewed as so complex could be resolved in such a manner.
To enter another country as if it were his own backyard, to capture an enemy commander from within an army of thousands and retreat unscathed, to force an entire nation to bow its head?!
’No wonder the higher-ups place so much importance on him.’
"Quick! Gather everyone. I’m going to the scene myself,"
Ambassador Shi said hurriedly.
「Inside Bao Lian Temple.」
After receiving the message from the Royal Palace, Mahesvara couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
’Thank goodness Father-King didn’t make any rash decisions.’
’This incident isn’t world-ending, but it’s not trivial either. If handled properly, the fallout can be minimized. The most urgent thing right now is to get this plague God out of here.’
’We can’t let him stay in Siam any longer. Otherwise, who knows what other chaos he’ll stir up.’
"Great Master, my Father-King has agreed to your demands. A motorcade will be here soon. The ambassador from your country will also be present to personally escort you across the border."
Mahesvara said respectfully.
Yi Beidou didn’t speak, merely nodding as he continued to sit on the ground, eyes closed in rest. Bakagoo’s neck was still clutched in his hand.
When the people being held in the tea room heard Mahesvara’s words, they all wore inscrutable expressions.
’He caused such a huge mess, yet the Siam King actually agreed to his demands, ordered a motorcade to escort him out, and even the Donghua ambassador to Siam is coming in person? What is the identity of this god-like man?’
They decided that once they got back, they would use all their resources to dig up information on him. If they could just form a connection with someone like that...
Meanwhile, outside the rear courtyard, in the Great Bao Lian Temple scenic area.
Groups of tourists were crouched on the ground, all under the control of Siamese soldiers. All their electronic and communication devices had been confiscated.
Tian Peijun and Jiang Yanxin were squatting among them.
After seeing Yi Beidou force his way into the rear courtyard, the two of them had immediately rushed over. But when they reached the gate and peered inside, the first thing they saw was a scene of gruesome carnage.
At the sight, Jiang Yanxin immediately threw up. Tian Peijun, however, fought back her nausea and fear, kept her wits about her, and dragged Jiang Yanxin away to run.
If Jiang Yanxin’s classmate had just been causing some simple trouble, she might have been able to intervene depending on the situation. But a scene like this? She knew instantly that getting involved would not end well.
Sure enough, a large number of armed soldiers soon appeared and surrounded the area, locking it down completely. Even the tourists were all rounded up.
’Good thing we ran fast.’
Tian Peijun couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.
"I wonder how he is now..."
Jiang Yanxin murmured, looking toward the rear courtyard.
"For crying out loud! Don’t even mention it! Didn’t you see this whole setup? It would take Superman to get out of this! If anyone finds out you two are connected, do you ever want to go home and see your dad again?!"
Tian Peijun quickly clamped a hand over Jiang Yanxin’s mouth and hissed viciously in her ear.
’I thought that guy seemed tall and steady, but it turns out he’s a lunatic. He’s probably been blown to bits by now, right?’
Soon, Tian Peijun and Jiang Yanxin saw something change.
A motorcade drove straight through the main gate of the Great Bao Lian Temple and stopped in front of the rear courtyard’s entrance.
A group of people got out of the vehicles. Tian Peijun had sharp eyes and thought she recognized a familiar figure.
"That looks like someone from the embassy... Ambassador Shi?!"
Her family had significant business interests in Siam, so she was naturally quite familiar with the officials at the Donghua embassy. The embassy would occasionally host evening parties and invite entrepreneurs, and she had seen the ambassador in person before, leaving a deep impression on her.
’Why would the ambassador be here?!’
But soon, something even more shocking happened.
She watched as Ambassador Shi and what were clearly Siamese officials emerged from the rear courtyard, respectfully escorting a tall young man with a bare, muscular torso. For some reason, the young man also seemed to be carrying someone in his hand?
However, Tian Peijun had no mind for such details. She saw Yi Beidou being invited into a luxury car. Then the motorcade started up, passed through the encirclement, and drove away.
Helicopters circled in the sky, while armored vehicles and numerous mobile infantry followed behind. It looked partly like an escort, and partly like they were constantly monitoring and guarding against him.
’Even the Siam King probably doesn’t get a procession this grand when he goes out, does he?’
