Chapter 780: Psycho Dongfang Wang

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

Xin Li Ni island, located between the Philippines and Indonesia, was unfamiliar territory to Ye Mo. He was not one to let an attack go unanswered. After entrusting Luo Yue to others, he immediately set out to find Dongfang Wang on this island.

The island was sizable, far from small. Formerly owned by a European tycoon, it had somehow fallen into Dongfang Wang's possession.

Ye Mo had observed the soldiers training there; their equipment was superior, and their defenses appeared formidable. However, to Ye Mo, they were insignificant.

He reached the island's center, where a grand estate stood, surrounded by numerous barracks. Approximately one thousand barracks dotted the island. Ye Mo identified their flag, bearing two ancient characters, as belonging to Xi Tang.

This was undeniably Dongfang Wang's base, a training ground for his troops. He seemed far more decisive than his brothers, both of whom had relied on others to build their empires.

Witnessing the large number of Dongfang family members who had flocked to Luo Yue, Ye Mo concluded that Dongfang Wang was the true heir. Dongfang Xi and Dongfang Tang had likely aspired to the same position but lacked the family's support, forcing them to rely on their own resources.

Ye Mo deployed his spiritual sense and detected two new battleships. Unfortunately, he could not locate Dongfang Wang. It seemed he would not be eliminating his target that day.

Undeterred, Ye Mo planted the bombs he had confiscated in Luo Yue City, targeting both the island and the battleships. While he could easily kill the occupants, he found greater satisfaction in allowing Dongfang Wang to experience his own cruelty.

His task complete, Ye Mo received a call from Xu Yuehua.

…

Luo Yue's largest meeting center was packed by the time Ye Mo arrived. All present rose as he entered.

He looked at the screen, displaying Dongfang Wang's face.

"What's going on?" Ye Mo asked Yu Miaodan.

"Dongfang Wang is attacking Luo Yue on Zero Degree International TV, accusing us of violating international law and ignoring human rights," Yu Miaodan replied disdainfully.

Ye Mo nodded and sat down. He had never heard of Zero Degree TV.

Xu Yuehua explained, "Zero Degree TV belongs to the Northern Sand Country. Despite its short history, it's one of the top ten largest television channels globally."

Ye Mo stared at Xu Yuehua, shocked. "Northern Sand formed a country?!"

Xu Yuehua nodded. "Yes, six years ago. Internal conflict in a small African country led to a power shift and a re-established national constitution. Two years later, it was renamed Northern Sand."

Ye Mo considered this, the pieces falling into place. He ceased his inquiries and focused on Dongfang Wang.

Dongfang Wang appeared far more mature than ten years prior, his expression grimmer.

"Our Dongfang family has contributed to Luo Yue, even relocating there entirely. Yet, what has Luo Yue's dictator done? He has committed the inhumane act of annihilating our entire family. Are we a primitive society? Is he a dark, fascist ruler? Carnage is the only solution in Luo Yue's dictator's eyes. I am deeply concerned for Luo Yue's citizens. I, representing the entire Dongfang family, call upon the world – we cannot allow these butchers to continue! We must resist! We must destroy Luo Yue's dictator!"

Dongfang Wang's expression was frenzied; he gestured wildly with each word.

"Yes, I know the union won't intervene in Luo Yue. However, regardless of Luo Yue's dictator's cruelty, he cannot halt our resistance—"

Suddenly, the screen switched channels.

Ye Mo sneered. No matter Dongfang Wang's attempts to incite unrest, reality held more sway than his rhetoric.

He saw the Northern Sand Country issue as more complex. Unlike Dongfang Wang, Northern Sand possessed technology comparable to America's. Dongfang Wang, in contrast, was merely a madman.

More importantly, their goal was not merely nation-building but global domination. Previously lacking a base of operations, their newly established country allowed them to act openly.

Northern Sand differed from the U.S. While the U.S. dominated, they retained a degree of restraint. They wouldn't aim to annihilate every nation, but Northern Sand held a different philosophy: compliance meant survival; defiance meant annihilation. This was their ideal world. Given the power to destroy the world, they would unleash nuclear weapons without hesitation. Life held no value in their eyes.

As Ye Mo prepared to speak, Dongfang Wang initiated a video call.

Ye Mo was momentarily stunned but quickly sneered. He knew Dongfang Wang's intentions.

"Accept the call and broadcast his message globally through Luo Yue TV," Ye Mo sneered.

Xu Yuehua hesitated. "President, are we truly broadcasting our conversation with Dongfang Wang to the world?"

Ye Mo nodded. "Yes, let the world hear his message. If he desires this satisfaction, he shall have it. I'm sure he won't anticipate this outcome."

Upon accepting the call, it was immediately broadcast live.

Luo Yue's news reporter announced, "After Dongfang Wang's attack on Luo Yue via Zero Degree TV, he immediately requested a video call. This is a live broadcast. Let's hear what this hypocrite has to say!"

The screen shifted to Dongfang Wang's face.

Dongfang Wang, clutching a remote control, laughed hysterically. "Ye Mo, I know you're watching. I have exciting news. Had you not killed the Dongfang family, perhaps negotiation was possible. But you, psycho, murdered my family without even attempting negotiation! I will reveal my true nature! I will ensure you remember this forever!

You're a psycho, yes. But I am even more so. This remote detonates timed bombs worldwide. You'll be thrilled by the sixty bombs exploding beneath you. Enjoy the fireworks in Luo Yue! Hahaha!"

Dongfang Wang pressed the button.

The meeting room fell silent. Dongfang Wang had planted numerous bombs in Luo Yue, unbeknownst to anyone present.

A wave of dread washed over them. They had barely escaped imprisonment, only to face imminent bombing?!

Ye Mo's heart pounded. He had only found fifty-nine bombs—where was the last one?
