Chapter 61: Chapter 47 The Three Kingdoms Verbal War_2

China and the American Military immediately mobilized their satellites in space to carry out a surveillance operation over the nearby territorial waters, but because the drone’s body color was highly similar to the color of the sea, they did not discover any trace of the drone. By the time the drone had stealthily entered the ocean hiding beneath white clouds, these countries and organizations were no longer able to detect the drone’s presence.

Consequently, the concerned countries convened their respective military meetings to discuss the identity of this suddenly emerged drone, and what impact its appearance could have on the current situation. The United States appeared most anxious, because the drone was clearly their “Predator Drone,” but they could not locate any record of their own drone operations in the accident area. Could it be that their military technology had been leaked…

Yan Fei was unaware of the chaotic situation caused by the drone avatar. After taking down the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat, he felt extremely refreshed. Not only because he had taught a lesson to the arrogant South Koreans and vented his frustration, but also because this attack earned him 315 Merit Points.

According to the Auxiliary Brain’s data, Yan Fei had sunk three law enforcement boats, obtaining 100 Merit Points for each. He also eliminated 15 South Korean law enforcement officers, gaining 1 Merit Point for each, amounting to 315 Merit Points in total. Adding to his previous Merit Points, the drone’s total had reached 402. Although far from the 10,000 points needed for an upgrade, it gave Yan Fei a glimmer of hope for an upgrade.

Five hours later, when the drone returned to the waters near Shanghai, Yan Fei realized the incident had stirred up chaos on the internet. Due to the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat’s unwarranted attack on the Chinese Fishing Boat, followed by the drone sinking the South Korean boat, these events had sparked a war of words between the parties involved.

China strongly condemned South Korea for crossing the border to enforce the law, refusing to correct their actions, and unwarrantedly attacking our fishing boat, nearly causing casualties and property damage to our people. China lodged a stern protest against South Korea. Meanwhile, South Korea maligned the Chinese fishing boat for crossing the border to fish, and claimed they had used weapons to attack the South Korean Law Enforcement Boat during their escape, to which South Korea had to retaliate. Then South Korea feebly protested the attacks launched by American forces on their law enforcement boat.

The American Military stated that they did not deploy any drones for patrols near the incident area and did not attack the South Korean boat. They emphasized adherence to the US-South Korea alliance treaty and hoped that South Korea would not over-interpret the incident.

The involved parties were all unclear about the affiliation of the drone. It was evident that China did not possess this kind of unmanned fighter jet, and South Korea had no such aircraft at all, while after a close examination of the live footage from Chinese internet live-streamers, the American side noticed that although the drone resembled their “Predator Drone,” it had no markings and seemed larger, making it evident that it was not their drone. Thus, upon seeing the drone, the United States began to worry that their drone’s core secrets had been leaked, prompting an investigation.

The three parties shouted at each other across the void, condemning and slinging accusations, but it was destined that this issue would have no concrete outcome. What remained in their minds was a huge question mark: where had that drone finally gone? After all, following the incident, the entire East Asian Waters were under their close surveillance, whether it was from space, the sea surface, or the seafloor, but such tight monitoring failed to reveal any trace of the drone. Had the drone crashed in a certain area of the sea?

What these powers did not expect was that their casual speculations were actually the closest to the truth.

Watching the war of words between several countries, Yan Fei felt triumphant in his heart. A small figure like him had managed to stir up quarrels among three nations, giving him a sense of achievement. But he also felt a sense of crisis, as the daytime deployment of the drone had exposed it to the world, affecting his future actions.

Although Yan Fei had deliberately controlled the drone to not display any extraordinary capabilities, he knew that future drone deployments would have to be done with caution and care.

The war of words subsided after several days, as there were too many hot issues occurring in these countries every day, and the drone attack incident gradually settled down. The only one feeling aggrieved was South Korea. In the whole incident, they were the only ones to suffer severe casualties and property losses. Unfortunately, neither China nor the United States was someone they could afford to provoke, so they could only swallow their grievances.

As Yan Fei had stirred up such a big incident, he did not let the drone strike again for some time, instead, he stayed honestly at the Company, learning from Lu Pingping about managing the company. During this time, the National Agents Conference was successfully held, where the agents’ territories and sales tasks were confirmed, and a substantial amount of market security deposits were collected. Through this conference, these agents were tied to Dream Foods’ chariot, forming a community of shared interests.

Once the regional agents were confirmed, Dream Foods reduced the sales volume of Weight Loss Cookies at their online Taobao store. With only 500 boxes being sold on the internet store each day, it served as a reminder of the Company’s early startup difficulties.

The Company’s affairs were thriving, so for the time being, Yan Fei did not have to worry about it. And since nobody from Zhang Baocheng’s Mysterious Organization, the Yamamoto Family of Japan, or the Cangzhou Sun Family had come knocking, it seemed that his information had not been leaked, and he was still safe. With the pressure off, Yan Fei suddenly found himself with free time.

One day, Yan Fei was watching TV news when the news reported the opening of the Kenya National Museum in Africa, and the TV screen showed some of the museum exhibits.

Yan Fei was somewhat curious and wanted to pay attention to what the historical relics of this African country were like. Then, among those relics, he spotted a round gear with rust marks. Before he could react, the Auxiliary Brain sent a message: Special item detected, an essential item for Drone Upgrade.
