At the Miyazaki Clan's place in Rejing, Nihong...
Miyazaki Takehara's brow were furrowed tightly, his face bleak.
In front of him was a stack of paper, with the records of all information related to Zhang Che in recent days.
The information was very simple. It detailed Zhang Che's tracks during this period of time, where he flew to on Dijiang-hao, and news of his return to Bei Du yesterday.
"It's been many days without news of Musashi-kun, and Zhang Che is still alive and kicking. Does this mean..."
He didn't dare to complete this train of thought.
After a long while, Miyazaki Takehara started shaking.
Although he wasn't willing to believe it, from what the information had shown, Musashi-kun's mission had obviously failed.
Zhang Che wasn't dead. The chances of Miyazaki Musashi being alive were too slim.
"How is this possible? Musashi-kun is a top-class expert of our Miyazaki Clan. Not only did he have high-tier epic-quality subdued beasts, he also had an extremely sharp spiritual sword fragment! Even if he was fighting other beastmasters of the same tier, he wouldn't lose to them! How could he lose his life at the hands of a mid-tier beastmaster?
"Could it be that our decision was wrong?
"How detestable! If we don't take revenge for this... it's impossible to take revenge..."
Although he really wanted to send out every expert in the clan to go to Hua Xia and grind Zhang Che into powder, as the Miyazaki Clan's clan leader, Miyazaki Takehara had to think of the clan's future.
The Miyazaki Clan had already fallen to a second-rate clan. With the fall of Miyazaki Musashi, their high-end combat force had taken a severe hit! If they continued deepening their feud with Zhang Che, they'd probably find themselves in big trouble in the future...
Miyazaki Takehara's expression was extremely dark.
In the end, he could only accept this result unwillingly. From now on, the Miyazaki Clan really had no way to continue finding trouble with that kid from Hua Xia.
"How hateful. Our Miyazaki Clan has actually fallen to such a state!" Miyazaki Takehara ground his teeth, his expression constantly changing. In the end, the light in his eyes dimmed. He let out a long sigh in disappointment and slapped his palm on the table, turning the stack of information to powder.
The news of Miyazaki Musashi's death wasn't spread inside the Miyazaki Clan, but the executives were notified one after another. For a period of time, it could be said that the upper echelon of the Miyazaki Clan was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
Afterward, the Miyazaki Clan had to make adjustments for many of their plans, especially their businesses in Hua Xia. They were all brought to a stop, and all clan members were withdrawn from Hua Xia.
Since Zhang Che was able to take down Miyazaki Musashi, in addition to having the Huang family as his backers, it would be very difficult for the Miyazaki Clan to withstand it if the Huangs wanted to take revenge.
After this huge setback, the Miyazaki Clan finally understood a truth: stop throwing lives away. Keeping to themselves and building themselves up was the way to go.
Alas, they understood this point a little too late.
If they hadn't gone to find trouble with Zhang Che at the start, their clan wouldn't have faced a series of huge changes afterwards, falling from grace as a first-rate clan in Nihong, and now they would even have trouble maintaining their status as a second-rate clan.
However, the Japanese were admittedly very resilient.
Despite suffering such a huge setback, they never lost their heart to claw their way back up. Everyone was united and worked hard in their respective fields, fighting to restore glory to their clan.
Perhaps a day would come when the Miyazaki Clan returned to being a first-rate clan in Nihong.
Of course, even if they restored the former glory of their clan, they wouldn't dare find trouble with Zhang Che anymore.
That remarkable kid from Hua Xia was already so terrifyingly strong as a mid-tier beastmaster. How incredible would he be after achieving high-tier beastmaster?
This kind of person was someone they mustn't offend further!
Regrettably, it was already too late by the time the Miyazaki Clan understood this point...

Zhang Che brought the elemental queen home, and was given a fierce stare by his mother Sun Lan.
After he explained to her about the elemental queen's identity, and she breathed flames from her mouth on the spot, Sun Lan finally accepted this shocking matter.
She couldn't imagine this slender beautiful woman, who was even taller than Huang Tielan, was actually not human!
But since the elemental queen wasn't human, Sun Lan no longer paid much attention to her.
Afterwards, Zhang Che brought the elemental queen to register her identity and applied for a personal terminal for her.
At present, only the Huang family and Zhang Che's family knew about the elemental queen's identity. He didn't reveal the truth about her not being human.
With the Huang family's help, registering an identity for the elemental queen and getting her a personal terminal really wasn't a difficult task.
For the rest of the day, Zhang Che didn't go anywhere. He stayed at home and taught the elemental queen how to use her personal terminal, and taught her some common sense in society, as well as how to read.
In fact, during the past two days since his return from the beast world, Zhang Che taught her how to read.
She truly was an incredible creature. Her intelligence was on par with an adult human, and her learning ability was extremely high.
After three days of work, she was already able to recognize close to a thousand Chinese characters.
Of course, this was related to her talent. After all, she knew how to speak from the moment she was born. Recognizing characters was much simpler.
Zhang Che had no doubt that she would be able to integrate into the life of a human in a month at the most.
"Ai, if only I had such terrifying learning ability in my past life... I wouldn't have failed to get into a university otherwise, and had no choice but to become a technical student..." Zhang Che lamented, feeling envious of the elemental queen's learning ability.
He felt like his intelligence was being humiliated. In the end, he left the elemental queen at home to learn by herself, while he went to the Premium House beast card card and added the beast cards he obtained on this trip to the inventory.

Business was getting better and better at the Premium House. His aunt and the others could no longer handle the workload, and the staff had expanded from three to ten people.
Zhang Che's ability to obtain mid-tier beast cards was more than enough to supply a small-scale beast card shop. Moreover, his hunting for mid-tier exotic beasts in his recent trips into the beast worlds meant they were all at least bronze-quality, with many of them being silver or gold-quality, not to mention a tiny fraction of them being dark gold-quality beast cards.
The quality of the beast cards they offered wasn't inferior to those large-scale beast card shops.
Seeing his fortune growing everyday, Zhang Che's mood finally became much better.
Well, the elemental queen was a different species. There was no need to compare himself to her. There was nothing comparable, anyway. No matter how amazing she was, she was only his pet in the end, wasn't she?
Thinking of it that way, Zhang Che's mood immediately became even better.

However, when he returned home, streaks of black lines quickly covered his forehead when he saw what the elemental queen was doing.
The elemental queen was actually in the study watching a science fiction movie on her personal terminal!
She didn't even notice it when Zhang Che walked in. It went to show how engrossed she was in the movie!
This scene seemed a little wrong.. ? Zhang Che truly found it hard to imagine her becoming obsessed with television, just like that.
But this was fine, too. If she really became a terrifying nerd, the blow to him would be too much...
"Ah, Master, you're back!" The elemental queen finally sensed Zhang Che's aura behind her. Flustered, she stood up quickly, looking like she had been caught playing games by her parent, fidgeting nervously.
Zhang Che smiled and said, "It's fine. Continue watching if you like it. Just don't forget about your studies."
Seeing her Master not blaming her, the elemental queen immediately smiled. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. This servant will learn very quickly. I won't embarrass Master."
Zhang Che smacked his lips, thinking, -What are you talking about? I'm afraid you'll learn too quickly. I'll really be embarrassed then... -
