Chapter 312: Chapter 169: Making a Fortune

After learning about Haruji Harada’s actions through the Internet, Yan Fei was astonished by this man’s shamelessness for having concocted a royal scandal. Not only had he become the public enemy of all men in Japan, but he’d also prompted a nation’s government to enact a law specifically for him, a truly unprecedented and unique occurrence.

However, once he grasped what this information meant, Yan Fei felt a surge of elation. He had been worried about how to legally acquire Misty Island and make it his own private isle. Little did he know that it would suddenly present itself before him. All he needed to do was reach out his hand, and the island could be effortlessly his.

Following the incident where Haruji Harada slandered the princess of the Japanese Royal Family, the angered Japanese government had legally renounced the island, meaning it currently belonged to no country, and no other country had raised any objections to this. In other words, once Yan Fei purchased the island, it would belong entirely to him as a private individual; it would not be under the jurisdiction of any country.

The name of the archipelago was Misty Island, which, as the name suggests, meant the islands were shrouded in fog year-round, making them difficult for outsiders to see clearly. During Yan Fei’s previous visit to Misty Island, it was deep at night, and coincidentally, the fog above the island had cleared, allowing him to see everything on the island clearly with the aid of the Quantum Radar. Usually, the archipelago remained hidden in fog the majority of the time. Nonetheless, this fog was no significant obstacle for Yan Fei; his priority was to take legal possession of the archipelago.

After consulting with an international law expert, Yan Fei established the steps to purchase the island. Once everything had been discussed, he finally woke Haruji Harada. Haruji Harada had been living in poverty for a year, almost starving to death, which made him constantly miss his previous life of luxury. Unfortunately, he was penniless, with nothing left but this group of islands. So, when he learned that Yan Fei wanted to buy Misty Island, he was overjoyed. Facing Yan Fei’s inquiry about the price, Haruji Harada hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking for five million US Dollars.

In Haruji Harada’s mind, this desolate island handed down from his ancestors had no value at all, but it was his sole possession. He had hoped to change his life by relying on this island. Regrettably, after a year of trying to sell Misty Island without success and reaching a point of despair, he was careful with his five million US Dollar price when someone showed interest. In his mind, he expected Yan Fei to bargain, but to his surprise, Yan Fei immediately agreed to the price upon hearing it.

For ordinary people, five million US Dollars is a substantial wealth, especially for the currently impoverished Haruji Harada. But for Yan Fei, this sum was insignificant. To avoid giving anyone any grounds for questioning his actions later, Yan Fei quickly agreed to satisfy Haruji Harada’s asking price.

Since both parties agreed on the selling price of Misty Island, the remaining process was much simpler. Following the advice of the international law expert, Yan Fei hired a lawyer at Charles de Gaulle Airport and invited notaries from an agency within the airport to the scene. After the lawyer verified the authenticity of Haruji Harada’s island ownership certificate and reconfirmed both parties’ intentions, they finalized the island transaction under the certification of the notary officer.

Unlike other island transactions that require the approval of the national government department, Misty Island was one where Japan had proactively renounced sovereignty, so as long as the island’s owner and the buyer reached an agreement and paid the amount, the transaction would be immediately completed. Moreover, they were not truly entering French territory here, as it was nominally a legal vacuum. Therefore, the French Government could not interfere with the transaction, allowing Haruji Harada to receive the funds without paying taxes to any country or agency.

Ensuring that there were no legal loopholes in the island transaction, after consultations between the international law expert and the handling lawyer, and receiving advice from their colleagues in the legal profession, they considered all potential areas of concern and addressed them, making the transaction watertight. To keep evidence, they filmed the entire transaction process, with the notary agency’s workers participating in the notarization throughout. With these legal documents and video evidence, and Yan Fei immediately paying the purchase fee, Misty Island officially became his personal property, with nobody else or any country able to find any legal flaws or have any right to interfere.

Having sorted all the paperwork for the island purchase and received the relevant legal documents, two hours had passed. Haruji Harada, who had been penniless, unexpectedly sold the useless ancestral island and received five million US Dollars, a windfall that made him ecstatic. He reverted to his old wasteful ways, splurging in the international hall and releasing a pent-up sigh of relief. With this sum, even if he couldn’t leave, Haruji Harada could live carefree, at least now he could say he was set for life.

Yan Fei was also very pleased with the acquisition of Misty Island. Once he had completed the customs clearance procedures at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and exited the airport, he was immediately stopped by over a dozen journalists with Asian features, who wanted to interview him. Recognizing the media logos on the microphones, Yan Fei saw that most journalists were from China, with a few from South Korea, and one from Japan.
