Without a doubt, the villainous Yingtong Electric Power Company has now become the target of public criticism, not only from the global populace but most vehemently from their own citizens.

Jiang Chen felt that the managers of Yingtong Electric Power Company should take a look at their Dongying literary treasure, "No Longer Human."

There's a phrase inside that would be fitting to console the indignant public.

Born as a human, I am truly sorry.

The reason Yingtong Electric Power dared to defy the world was certainly not to take revenge on society. Some things can't be unknown simply because they're not admitted. Before their formal announcement, their secrets were almost exposed; the reason for dumping nuclear pollution into the ocean was because they couldn't afford the enormous pollution treatment costs, or rather, they didn't want to bear them, so they simply chose the once-and-for-all approach of dumping it straight into the ocean and let the whole world pay the price.

Adversity reveals character.

Actually, this phrase applies to nations as well.

Yingtong Electric Power Company didn't lack other solutions to handle the nuclear waste issue, but they chose the most beneficial method for themselves, hands in pockets, announcing the activation of Earth Online Mode.

Yingtong Electric, commonly known as Ying Electric Company, claims the leaked nuclear wastewater amounts to three tons, but anyone can see it certainly far exceeds that weight.

Like when a child says they can't hold it any longer. In truth, they've already made a mess in their pants.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

As they went out, Tanki Liuli asked, without targeting anyone, quite calmly.

The unbothered Jiang Chen understood her implication and cheerfully explained, "If it truly comes to that, surely no one in Dongying would survive, and in light of this, do you think there's anything to fear?"

Taoist Duanmu had nothing to say.

"I'm somewhat worried, if indeed global mutations occur, with fiery kids, watery kids, and metallic kids running rampant, your martial arts might become useless," Jiang Chen sighed.

As of now, of course, there's nothing of the sort; pedestrians are still walking diligently on their legs, though the impact of the nuclear leak is beginning to show.

Many shop owners have posted notices at their doors, not targeted at the people of Shenzhou but against the wicked Ying Electric Company.

Jiang Chen can't understand the text, he guessed through the drawings on the posters.

Being cursed by others is nothing, but being denounced and spurned by one's own citizens is quite a powerful ability.

Accompanied by the Taoist nun sister, Jiang Chen once again arrived outside the Japan Palace.

Today is much more lively than a few days ago.

The confused shouts rise and fall.

Groups of people gathered in the square before the palace, almost blocking the tourist path. Expressions rich in emotion adorned each face, as they held banners, screaming hoarsely towards the high walls.

Language barriers are insignificant; as long as hearts are aligned it's enough.

Watching these protesters, Jiang Chen provided his unwavering spiritual support.

Faced with oppression, harm, or even murder... choosing to end oneself is the most cowardly action; one should stand bravely and defend their rights!

Furthermore, when there's no fear of death, what else is there to be afraid of?

The excitement and anger of these protesters, even a foreigner like Jiang Chen could feel it, yet the high palace walls remained unmoved.

Truth be told, Jiang Chen wanted to advise them.

Their supreme Emperor, now merely a reclusive wealthy elder, gathering here is challenging their spiritual faith. But considering the surging emotions of these crowds, Boss Jiang wisely refrained from advising, fearing he might get beaten.

No need to test the combat skills of the Taoist nun sister like this.

While Jiang Chen leisurely watched the scene unfold, felt a tap on his back.

"You watch all the commotions, be careful of the guards catching people later."

"Aren't I waiting for you?"

The newcomer was Koda Kaoru.

This time wasn't a chance encounter but a planned meeting, before they last parted, Koda Kaoru promised to take him inside the palace to explore.

"They've blocked the entrance, how will we get in?"

"No worries, there's more than one channel. Follow me."

Led by Koda Kaoru, the three of them detoured, entering the palace through a hidden side door.

The guards stood as if having no authority, with a few words, Koda Kaoru let them pass.

Seems like all those movies are fake,

Teaching, no matter the nation, is a highly respected profession.

Jiang Chen had visited once before, but because the entrance was different, this time's path was distinct from the last.

Koda Kaoru took the lead, familiar with the way.

"If I didn't know Teacher Xiang Tian teaches here, I'd think this is your house."

"Shh, keep it down, don't talk nonsense."

"It's so loud outside they can't hear inside, Teacher Xiang Tian you don't need to be nervous."

Koda Kaoru easily recognized his implied sarcasm and gave him a sidelong glance.

"We are ordinary people, ordinary folks must understand one thing, speaking of national affairs."

Check out that political awareness.

"You're a teacher of the Imperial Family, far from ordinary."

"I've said it before, it's just a job, don't overthink it, my responsibility is to fulfill my duties, as for anything else, I'm unable to interfere."

This can't be called indifference, rather it's being sober-minded, fearing those with a sense of self-importance, being able to freely enter the palace, changing to others might become arrogant, but Koda Kaoru remained well aware of his position.

After saying so much, Jiang Chen naturally couldn't continue; willing to bring him inside at personal risk was already a kind of loyalty, since their teacher-student relationship had ended long ago, Koda Kaoru could have completely ignored him.

"Before we go in, there are three rules. First, don't wander off; second, don't speak randomly; third, don't take random photos."

The final remark, Koda Kaoru said looking at Tanki Liuli.

Girls, wherever they go, love taking photos as a memento, especially in special places like the palace, but unfortunately, Tanki Liuli is one of a kind.

"Her telephone watch doesn't have a camera function."

Jiang Chen succinctly explained.

That's right.

Even if Tanki Liuli wanted to take photos, she had no tool.

Koda Kaoru paused.

Jiang Chen appeared earnest.

"Watch for my cues once inside."

Koda Kaoru quietly remarked.

Jiang Chen made an okay gesture, "no-problem."

Though not guarded intensely, entering the inner courtyard required passing through three checkpoints, the special privileges Koda Kaoru, an outsourced commoner teacher, seemed to enjoy within the Japanese Imperial Family were not small, taking two strangers in, it was surprisingly smooth getting into the off-limit inner courtyard.

Except for becoming quieter, it still featured a garden style blended with many elements, no secret areas have been uncovered yet.

Of course.

The psychological feelings are certainly different.

Some see mountains as mountains and water as water, while others see mountains as not mountains and water as not water, this is a difference in mindset.

"Follow me closely."

Koda Kaoru quietly instructed.

Such loyalty, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him, complying with the three rules set before entering, following Koda Kaoru silently, as for the Taoist nun sister, there's no need to worry, she doesn't like talking much anyway, the only potential hazard would be her rebellious nature.

In fact, the Taoist nun sister had no interest in Japan Palace, Jiang Chen didn't have to bring her, but due to the similarity between this fore teacher and that heiress, without certainty, taking the Taoist nun sister along felt more secure.

Jiang Chen really kept his word honestly because of prior consent his gaze didn't wander but only focused on the leading Koda Kaoru.

Today her attire differed from their reunion last time, long pants were replaced by a skirt, of course, a long skirt, its hem reaching her knees, her proportionate long legs were enveloped in thin black stockings, wearing flat leather shoes, her waist and hips naturally swayed as she walked, though the movement was not large, it seemed meticulously designed, causing an unconscious rise in body temperature, arousing a ticklish feeling.

"Teacher Xiang Tian."

Upon passing under an archway, a shout echoed.
