The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 816: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey?

Peace is never achieved just by words.

No weak country in the world has ever truly attained peace.

Just take the United States as an example.

They never care about the existence of these guys, doing whatever they should do regardless.

Of course, this is all just a facade.

It's merely the perception of people in the present world towards them.

In reality, the real function of the World Federation is to restrain the existence of the Hidden World.

This organization, formed by the so-called righteous people of the Hidden World around the world, has been playing the balancing role between the Hidden World and the present world for so many years.

Their strength is so formidable that it can rival the Hidden World Arbitration Council.

Or rather, many people within them hold significant positions even in the Hidden World Arbitration Council.

The Federation's daily expenses are covered by the countries of the present world.

At the same time, in return, they also limit to some extent the entry of those strong beings from the Hidden World into other countries.

Moreover, it's worth mentioning that they provide Hidden World aid to the countries that support them.

Places like Area 51 of the United States and the Eight Divisions of Huaxia have some of their traces.

"I don't remember having any dealings with you, do I? What are you here for?"

"And you want me to negotiate a deal? What kind of deal is worth the World Federation's intervention?"

Yang Yan put down his chopsticks, looking intently at Balca, and asked puzzlingly.

Balca said seriously:

"Moonlight Sir, you must have noticed, the current Hidden World and the present world are entirely different."

"Since two years ago, the Hidden World has begun to integrate with the present world."

"Although there have been many troubles during the process, this is an unstoppable major trend."

"Soon, the two worlds will completely merge together."

"By then, the present world, whether in terms of population, technology, or even culture, will be impacted by the Hidden World."

"We are preparing now; although the population in the Hidden World is negligible compared to the present world, the destructive power of the Hidden World is no less than that of the present world."

"Therefore, we need assurances from people like you, the elite of the Hidden World."

"Guarantees that they won't exert their full strength in the future, at least not in densely populated cities."

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Uh... I think you might have found the wrong person?"

"I have always considered myself a rule-abiding person."

"Usually, if people don't bother me, I never initiate trouble."

Balca said earnestly:

"Respected Moonlight Sir, that's indeed how things were before, but the future is uncertain."

"Now, the appearance of the Origin has driven the people of the Hidden World mad."

"Not only strong beings like you, but even those with slightly more capability also harboring lucky thoughts, wanting a share."

"Therefore, we need a certain deterrent, we need assurances from strong beings like you, and preferably it should be in writing."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Bakar and said:

"Scaring the monkeys by killing a chicken? So, you guys actually consider me the chicken?"

Bakar hurriedly said:

"Moonlight Sir, don't be excited, don't be excited! How could we do something like that?"

"We just need a top strong being to take the lead now."

"Of course, doing this is not without rewards."

After speaking, Balca subconsciously glanced at Yang Yan, seemingly wanting to capture his reaction.

Yang Yan smiled lightly, signaling him to continue.

Balca quickly said:

"If you agree, we will utilize all the manpower and resources we can to help you search for the Origin, what do you think?"

Hearing the condition offered by the other party, Yang Yan fell silent for a moment.

Then, he raised his head and said:

"I'll think about it. Sebas, see the guests off."

After Sebas escorted Balca and the others out of the villa, he walked up to Yang Yan and bowed and said:

"The conditions they offered sound quite good, shouldn't you consider it?"

Yang Yan suddenly laughed:

"Haha, you're overthinking it. Those guys are actually just a bunch of egotists."

"They always act with themselves as the center, only saying nice things."

"Claiming to do their utmost to help me find the Origin, who knows what they're plotting..."

Of course, Yang Yan didn't tell Sebas the rest, lest this guy gets caught up in random thoughts as well.

There are many old guys in the World Federation, and Yang Yan does not believe they are not interested in immortality.

Life still goes on day by day, and Yang Yan wouldn't worry too much.

Zhang Peng, Zhang Yu, Lv Jian, and Zhiyuan also came.

However, apart from letting them investigate the matters of the event, Yang Yan gave them no other tasks.

Zhou's Jewelry is quite popular here.

Because of Christina, Zhou's Jewelry began at a high point.

Many wealthy people in the Manhattan area flock to custom-design a set of accessories by her.

Within a short time, Zhou's Jewelry even sold out.

And now several women are helping out in the jewelry store; the only idle person at home is Yang Yan.

As the owner of a high-end luxury store, Zhou Hanyun often receives invitations to banquets.

But she mostly politely declines.

However, this time due to business connections, she couldn't refuse today's invitation.

"Are you coming with me tonight?"

Zhou Hanyun handed the invitation to Yang Yan as soon as she got back and asked him.

This invitation is quite interesting, as it's actually written in Chinese.

"Century Jewelry Show? What's this all about?"

Yang Yan asked, glancing at the invitation in his hand with a frown.

"It's a banquet sponsored by the rich, to let renowned jewelry designers and businessmen worldwide learn from each other."

"Honestly, without Christina, we probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to attend."

Zhou Hanyun said with a smile.

"Why belittle yourself?"

Yang Yan softly shook his head:

"In today's world of jewelry design and appraisal, you already count as one of the best."

This isn't Yang Yan merely flattering Zhou Hanyun, Miss Zhou now genuinely has that qualification.

Since two years ago when Yang Yan took them to the Eight Divisions headquarters, she has constantly absorbed knowledge at the National Library.

For Yang Yan, those two years were merely watching the changes in the Hidden World and the present world, but for Zhou Hanyun and a few other women, it was undeniably a time for recharging and further study.

There, not only were there abundant books, but Yang Yan could even bring in professional teachers for them.

This was one of the main reasons they could calm themselves down.

And now, the only thing Zhou Hanyun lacks is practical operation.

Presumably, in the future, she will soon catch up.
