Super Zoo-Chapter 755 - 736 Momotaro and Liuchuan Feng

Princess Jiako was very unhappy.

Birds of a feather flock together, as the saying goes, and even if one belongs to a royal family that no longer holds national power, there are very few people in the world with whom one can freely mingle and speak the same language. Furthermore, since there is no need to wage wars or consider the strategic interests of distant or near alliances, interactions between royal families of different countries are actually quite frequent, and most of the younger members are acquainted with each other.

Princess Eugene was considered to be among the younger and more talented princesses in the world, lively in personality and not as seriously mannered as most royal family members. She had always been looked up to by the slightly younger Princess Jiako as an idol-like big sister.

After entering her teenage rebellious phase, Princess Jiako suddenly became like a different person, often wearing revealing clothes to taverns, nightclubs, and hanging out with street thugs, getting into all sorts of trouble. Her temper became bizarre and unruly, causing her parents, Prince Akihito Fumihiro and his wife, great distress. Therefore, they specifically allowed her to come to Xiangjiang to watch the horse races, hoping she would be exposed to more refined sports and stay away from those noxious places.

Who would have thought that such a mess would occur, her idolized big sister, Princess Eugene, had her car smashed by a thug and even suffered a great loss at the hands of the villain, betting away her ancestral castle.

Princess Eugene seemed not to be affected much, but Princess Jiako couldn't stand it. Acting like the loyal and brave samurai retainer in the movies, she decided to take matters into her own hands without bothering Princess Eugene. She planned to secretly take action and get revenge for her big sister.

"Mm, just like that!" Princess Jiako clenched her little fists with determination.

"Your Highness, this might not be a good idea..."

One of the two personal guards that came with Princess Eugene, a middle-aged ninja who can be considered among the top in Japan, hesitated considerably after receiving the order but still mustered the courage to speak up.

To become part of the imperial guard, one must come from a family that has served the royal house for generations. The loyalty of these ninjas was beyond question. If it had been Princess Jiako's father, their official master, Prince Akihito Fumihiro, giving the order, these ninjas would not have questioned it at all. They wouldn't even have considered it but would have executed it without hesitation.

Even if it meant committing seppuku.

But, the instructions from Princess Jiako... It's not that they couldn't carry them out, but it seemed a bit like a tantrum.

Princess Jiako ordered the two ninjas to pose as ordinary tourists, pick a quarrel, and then give Suming and his companions a proper beating.

Princess Jiako's exact words were: "Break a leg, make sure he can't get out of bed for at least three months. Well, after all, I am a royal princess and wouldn't really lower myself to deal with these commoners. Just a little lesson will do, without leaving any permanent disability, but it must be very painful."

In a civilized society, the true role of a bodyguard is not just to learn martial arts, the art of assassination and evasion. They need to know much more than that, and as a royal guard, a ninja must also understand politics.

In Huaxia terms, they must be politically conscious.

The conduct of Princess Jiako, aside from being considered childish rage without meaning, if discovered or investigated by someone with an agenda, would certainly cause an international dispute.

Due to historical issues, relations between Huaxia and Japan were already tense. In order to win votes, the Japanese Cabinet's attitude towards Huaxia was extremely extreme, whereas the imperial family wanted quite the opposite – to repair relations between the two countries, and was unwilling to become the flag bearer or scapegoat for the ambitions of Cabinet insiders.

Thus, causing unprovoked harm to a Huaxian, especially a well-known Huaxian entrepreneur with social influence, was problematic...

"How is it unprovoked!" Jiako's eyes widened in indignation, "He made me lose face."

"He has never met you, has not spoken a word to you, he might not even be aware of your existence. He won Eugene's money, and Eugene has already returned it to you," Momotaro said softly.

Momotaro was of course correct, but to a young princess in the throes of teenage rebellion, none of Jiako's words were comprehensible; instead, she felt as if Momotaro was disrespecting her youth and naivety.

"Oh really, Momotaro, how dare you talk back to me! Are you still a warrior of Akihito?" Princess Jiako fumed with increasing anger: "Are you going to forsake the oath of three hundred years, betray the royal house?! Well, if that's the case, I can completely revoke your position as a ninja of the royal house in the name of the second daughter of Akihito!"

Such words were far too heavy; being disowned by the family head was a humiliation that could drive any honor-bound warrior to commit seppuku without a second thought!

In that era, a samurai who could still choose to serve the royal family held honor above all else. Struck like by lightning, Momotaro immediately knelt down, bowed to the ground, and said with a trembling voice, "Your Highness, please forgive my impudence! I shall execute the task at once!"

Looking down from on high at Momotaro's broad and trembling back, Princess Jiako's expression was not one of anger as one might expect, but instead, she smirked like a sly fox, looking as though her plot had succeeded.

"There, there, Uncle Momotaro, you've been protecting me since I was born. I knew you cared for me the most. I was just speaking in anger just now, don't take it to heart!" Princess Jiako said cheerfully, helping Momotaro to his feet.

Momotaro, his forehead beaded with sweat, heaved a sigh of relief and bowed slightly, "Your Highness, I shall go and do it. Let Liuchuan Feng protect your safety."

Liuchuan Feng was another young ninja accompanying them this time, but among the ninjas across the country, he was also top-notch, and by virtue of his skills alone, he even surpassed Momotaro.

"No need, no need, Xiangjiang is very safe. It's better if you go together, you can look after each other!" Princess Jiako said nonchalantly with a wave of her hand, "Remember, you must make it very painful for him, oh, and don't forget to make a video to show me."

Momotaro: "..."

...

On Causeway Bay Jardine's Street, opposite Times Square, there is a shop with a modest entrance, and on the signboard in large characters: Wen Hui Squid Ball King.

Suming felt like he was about to swallow his tongue!

With so many heroes in the world, and often indulging in Hong Feifei's cooking, Suming's palate had become quite discerning, and ordinary food would certainly not catch his eye. But this Squid Ball King was simply too good, four squid balls with a large serving of bamboo shoot noodle soup, the noodles cooked until soft, and the squid balls so springy that they almost exploded with each bite.

And all for just 20 dollars per bowl!

Twenty dollars, you can't buy loss, you can't buy deceit, but you can buy a bowl of squid balls that fills you up and makes you forget your troubles.

"Do you have to exaggerate so much?" He Baowen, who sat across the table, glared at Suming, unimpressed.

"Wow, madam, you really know how to pick a place; these squid balls are so delicious they leave no room for friends!" Suming gulped down the soup, then shouted to the owner, "Another bowl, please!"

"You're really good at acting, aren't you? Want me to introduce you to some directors? Oh, I forgot, you're a film and television tycoon yourself now, not to mention a gambling lord. Why not invest in 'The Gambling Lord's Royal Racetrack Battle'?" He Baowen said.

"Does the name have to be so long?" Suming chuckled with a smirk. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Encountering He Baowen at the racetrack, this trainee female inspector had been promoted to senior inspector following the last kidnapping incident, tasked with protecting the safety of the two princesses. Even Suming, with his thick skin, felt a little embarrassed encountering an old acquaintance and not showing any form of acknowledgment.

He Baowen was a true local, very familiar with the local snacks and delicacies, always able to pick out a truly good spot that was both outstanding and reasonably priced.

Of course, as delicious as the squid balls were, they didn't literally leave one without friends.

"Okay, I'll stop teasing you. Anyway, we're just ordinary friends, you don't necessarily have to look for me when you're here to have fun," He Baowen chided Suming with a glance.

"Ah, can you tell me why such a big castle is only assessed at six hundred thousand US dollars?" Suming suddenly used his knack for changing the subject.

Not far away, two men dressed like tourists, carrying unfashionable large bags and wearing sunglasses, turned their heads towards Suming when they heard the words 'castle.'
