Chapter 1502 Is This Necessary

However, the Japanese royal family was no longer in power as they were just the symbolicfigurehead of the country. Under the Japanese constitution, they had no power to mobilize theJapanese military at all.

Emperor Chongmei shook his head. "It's just a small matter. Is it necessary to alert the military andmake a big issue out of this?"

"If you alert them, you're telling the whole world that our royal prince bent his knees to a foreignerand got castrated. Do you think this sounds nice? What about our reputation?”

"Anyway, we have our imperial guards, and also martial arts masters in service like MasterWatanabe and his group of samurais. Just them are enough to handle Nathan Cross discreetly, andthere's no need to humiliate ourselves by utilizing the military."

All of them replied in unison, "Understood, Your Highness!”

Emperor Chongmei asked again, "Have you found out Nathan Cross' background?"

One of his subordinates replied, "Your Highness, we've investigated him. Nathan Cross seems to bea platoon leader serving in the North Army of the neighboring nation. However, he's famed for hiscombat skills in the army. His wife is Penny Smith, the chairman of Cross Pharmaceuticals."

Emperor Chongmei replied in surprise, "You mean his wife is the boss of the Cross Group that hasthe one and only liver cancer vaccine in the world?"

"Yes, she's the one. Both Nathan Cross and Penny Smith are here in our country to attend theInternational Pharmaceutics Economy Summit."

Emperor Chongmei narrowed his eyes. "For so many years, our country's scientists have beenputting in so much effort to come out with the liver cancer vaccine, but none of them had any

significant progress. And here a foreigner managed to manufacture the liver cancer vaccine beforeus. This is a very valuable product for them."

Of course it was valuable. Any medicine that could cure cancer was like a gold mine of wealth thatwould bring in countless profits for the company that manufactured it.

A greedy glint flashed across Emperor Chongmei's eyes. "By right, the crime committed by Nathanand his wife towards my son and Master Watanabe's apprentice is a death offence."

"But if they agree to offer 51 % of Cross Group's shares to the Imperial House of Japan as theircompensation, I can pardon them from their death offence and work together with them to earnmore money."

The royals' eyes lit up at the wicked suggestion.

Emperor Chongmei instructed his people smugly, "Tell Nathan and his wife that I'll be hosting abanquet tomorrow and I would like to invite them over."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

In the living room of the presidential suite of Hotel Kyoto, Nathan and Penny were relaxing on thesofa while Colin and Frida were standing behind them when a man in a tuxedo entered.

The man introduced himself as the high steward of the Imperial House of Japan by the name ofTanaka. He was eyeing Nathan with a haughty smile on his face. "His Royal Highness, the EmperorChongmei of Japan would like to invite Mr. and Mrs. Cross to a royal banquet tomorrow evening."

Nathan replied icily, "I'm not interested."

Tanaka merely smiled. "During the banquet, we will be auctioning a few important artefacts andantiquities of your nation. These artefacts we're about to auction are all treasures that your nation

has sought to retrieve back. I am guessing that Mr. Cross would be interested to have a look atthem."

During the times of war, many artefacts of Nathan's nation were lost as they had fallen into thehands of foreign nations.

But then his nation had reborn from the ashes, and now stood proud and mighty at the top of theworld.

Many wealthy people had tried to buy back those artefacts that were lost overseas. However, theseforeigners simply refused to sell them.

One of the places that contained the most artefacts was the Japanese Royal Palace.

Nathan scrunched his brows as he contemplated meeting the Japanese Emperor.

Tanaka added with a smile, "Mr. Cross, His Royal Highness said that you're his guest, and thatanything could be solved as long as you attend the banquet."

"However, if you don't, you won't be able to get out of Japan either. Please consider our invitationand make the right choice."

With that, the high steward bid farewell and left.

The moment Tanaka left, Penny turned to her husband worriedly. "Hubby, now even the Emperor ofJapan is trying to trouble us. Should we attend the banquet tomorrow?"

Nathan smiled in disdain. "I don't care about this emperor at all and I didn't want to go at first. Butnow that they are trying to auction our nation's treasures and artefacts, I have decided to go andtake them back. This trip to Japan will be a fruitful one this time."
