Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 372

Fusang's strongholds hidden in the Southern Region were wiped out one by one.

The Chief Minister received the news, gritting his teeth in anger. His usually refined face was contorted into a ferocious mask.

Who did this? The Dragon Country's government? Or its Martial Arts World?

As the Chief Minister, he had far too much to consider. His name was Anpei Saburo, and his every decision could determine whether Fusang prospered or declined.

If the Dragon Country's government was behind this, then they've discovered my plan…

At this thought, the Chief Minister called the Fusang military and told them to be prepared. However, if it was the work of the Martial Arts World, or even Wu Tian himself, then the Chief Minister wasn't worried. His view was the same as that of Layman Guoxin: what could a mere martial artist do against a vast country?

What can he do? Probably nothing, right?

The three great Shikigami were still on their killing spree. They had split up, as Fusang had many hidden forces in Yang City.

Once, a group of senior businessmen had tried to force Qin Yuhan to dine with them. In the end, their sons arrived, and Wu Tian gave them a choice: either their companies would be destroyed, or their fathers would die. They immediately chose to have their fathers die.

Most of these men were Fusang operatives hidden in the Dragon Country. This was something Wu Tian hadn't expected. If he had thought about it more carefully at the time, he might have wondered how sons could choose their own fathers' deaths without a moment's hesitation.

There must have been something fishy going on. It's a shame I didn't notice that detail before.

At that moment, his cell phone rang. It was Kong Zhiyuan's number.

Wu Tian answered immediately. The little one's sweet, childlike voice came through the phone. "Dad, school is out! Why haven't you come to pick me up? Did you find someone new and don't want me anymore?"

Her unhappy tone and choice of words made Wu Tian cringe.

Someone new… is that really the right phrase to use here?

"I'm on my way," Wu Tian said. "I'll be there very soon."

"Okay, hurry up, hurry up," the little one urged.

During class or exams, there were plenty of opportunities to show off and put others in their place. But now that school was out and everyone had left, those chances were gone. For the little one, school then became just as boring as it was for everyone else.

Wu Tian ordered the three great Shikigami to continue their slaughter. They were to wipe out all of Fusang's forces in the Southern Region before rejoining him. The three great Shikigami agreed.

Only then did Wu Tian start driving to Jixia Academy.

It was already a little past six in the evening. Since it was summer, the sky was still bright, but Wu Tian worried his daughter might be hungry. He drove quickly, yet safely, but the traffic police still spotted him.

"Stop the car! Stop the car now!"

But he lost them at the first bend.

Wu Tian should have been rushing straight to the school, but on the road, he saw the lonely figure of his little girl. She was walking all by herself on the path beside the road. She was still so small; usually, she would be thrilled to see new people or shops. But not now.

Seeing this, Wu Tian's heart ached. The bond between a father and daughter is a universal one. He sighed, realizing that in his preoccupation with the damned Fusang, he had neglected his own daughter.

Some people sacrifice their families for power and glory. Others give up great achievements for their families. You can't have both. It seemed that a perfect family life and a successful empire could not coexist. Those who proclaimed themselves kings and emperors throughout the All Heavens, who stood alone and friendless, all had their regrets.

But I want to try. I want both! I will be the first!
