Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, then looked at Xin Hai with a serious expression and said:

“Miss Xinhai, these things were not sold to you by Liyue. Instead, you found these outdated weapons on a sunken Liyue merchant ship, understand?”

"Moreover, this sunken merchant ship was carrying obsolete weapons that were to be remelted, but unfortunately, it was swept away by a huge wave during the Osel invasion and no one knows where it went. Do you understand? Otherwise, I would have taken back this batch of weapons."

Seeing Jiang Ning's serious expression and hearing the meaning behind his words, Xin Hai fell silent. It seemed he was trying to completely remove Li Yue from his life.

Xin Hai had her own ulterior motives when she bought this batch of weapons. Would Inazuma react if they used Liyue's weapons? If they could misunderstand that Liyue was behind them, even if it was just to borrow their power for a while, it would be a great success.

So, although it was telling the truth about the situation, it also took advantage of Beidou's sympathy.

However, now that their deity has spoken, I can only nod in agreement:

"I understand, I will make it known."

That concludes the matter.

However, just as they were talking, Goro walked over with a pleasant surprise and said:

"Lord Xinhai, you're finally back! I thought something had happened to you, I was so worried... It's you?!"

Wu Lang looked at Jiang Ning with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

"Goro, please don't be rude. This is a distinguished guest of our Haiji Island."

Xin Hai was startled and quickly said.

She was terrified that if her people offended someone else, that person would kill them, and she would have nowhere to turn to complain.

Goro could only reply, "Yes, Lord Shinkai... By the way, Lord Shinkai..."

Wu Lang hesitated, then glanced at Jiang Ning.

Xin Hai said, "Don't worry, this person is not from the Shogunate, but a friend of Ying, a visitor from Liyue."

Goro knew that Jiang Ning was from Liyue, but after confirming it in his mind, he still spoke:

"Lord Shinkai, Captain Hokuto and Manyo have arrived, along with some crew members from the Death Star. They are willing to accept our employment in the upcoming battle against the Shogunate army..."

Before he could finish speaking, his supernatural senses told him that something was amiss.

The frozen atmosphere felt like a pair of giant hands gripping my throat, making it impossible for me to utter a single word.

"Who are you calling... someone who accepted your employment?"

Jiang Ning's voice was very soft, but it sent a chill down the spines of those present.

Xin Hai felt a sense of foreboding. Jiang Ning already disliked the arms trade, and now this guy knew about Captain Beidou accepting a job...

Ying quickly said, "Well, actually, Sister Beidou has her reasons..."

Jiang Ning said calmly, "It's nothing more than a case of sympathy, because you feel the same way about what happened last year? But that's not allowed."

Jiang Ning looked at Wu Lang and Xin Hai, his eyes calm and unwavering: "Take me to see them."

Xin Hai quickly replied, "Yes, I understand."

Before Goro could even speak, he quickly led the way.

Seeing Jiang Ning's angry expression, Ying and Paimeng dared not speak up to plead for him and could only follow behind.

Goro gritted his teeth and left with Shinkai.

…………

At the reception hall on Umijima Island, Hokuto and his crew of sailors, along with Kaedehara Manyo, who was wanted by Inazuma, all gathered there.

Hailong asked the Big Dipper:

"Boss, isn't it a bit too risky for us to accept this job?"

"We should have returned from our business here last night. This time we brought a lot of weapons to sell, which goes against our original intention of coming here."

Beidou said, "What's the big deal? It's just a business transaction. As for hiring, just consider it my sympathy. I can't bear to see ordinary people suffer. Besides, it's just a battle. We'll come and go secretly, so the shogunate won't be able to find any fault with us."

"If the brothers are really worried, those who agree to stay can stay, and those who don't can meet us on the ship."

Beidou didn't force anyone. When doing business, if someone was unwilling, they could just stay on the boat and watch the house.

It's the same this time.

Hailong said helplessly, "Sister Beidou, you know me. I unconditionally support your decision. However, Lord Yuhengxing and Lord Jiangning are also in Inazuma. If they find out about this, they will definitely punish us."

"That's why I said we came and went secretly. Besides, Keqing and the others are in Inazuma Castle right now. Where is this? Haiqi Island, which is a hundred and eight thousand miles away. How could they possibly come here?"

Beidou is full of confidence.

The next second, the door was suddenly pushed open, a gust of cold wind rushed in, and a somewhat imposing voice rang out:

"Oh? So, Captain Beidou, now that I understand... do you still intend to continue?"

"Forehead……"

Beidou's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled awkwardly and said:

"Haha, Jiang Ning, what brings you here..."

Jiang Ning said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you, Captain Beidou, were so audacious as to sell weapons and interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. What were you thinking?"

Hokuto gritted his teeth: "But the shogunate's actions are really going too far. The people of Inazuma are starving and emaciated. The people and children are innocent."

Jiang Ning said, "So, your childhood memories have been triggered? Your sympathy is overflowing? To put it bluntly, what does it matter to you whether Inazuma lives or dies?"

“You!” Beidou suddenly looked up, staring intently at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged: "What? Did I say something wrong? You are a Liyue person, and what you are doing now is going against the Thunder General, the god of a nation. You should think about the crew behind you. There are some things that cannot be done."

"Don't look at me like that. If you were helping the shogunate and being hired by the three great commissioners, I wouldn't say anything, because that would be a request for aid between nations, a formal exchange. But what you're supporting now is an illegitimate rebel army. I ask you, is the one in power in Inazuma a rebel army or the Raiden General?"

“…General Thunder, but I did this on behalf of the Death Star, in my own name, and it won’t escalate to a matter between nations,” Beidou said.

Jiang Ning said, "Alright, then from now on, the taxes of the Dark Star will be collected according to the taxes of a regular merchant guild. By the way, if the Dark Star violates any rules in Liyue, we will treat you the same as everyone else and take back all the privileges and conveniences that the Dark Star enjoys in Liyue... Is that alright?"

"You must remember that Ningguang's tolerance and privileges towards you, to some extent, are because she considers your ship to be the most independent official naval force of Liyue. Ask the other six nations whether they see your Death Star as being linked to the Liyue government."

162. Want to fight the gods? Dream on!

Jiang Ning's words left Beidou speechless.

Jiang Ning is right. In a sense, his ship is a representative of Liyue. Otherwise, when he arrived at the island, those officials would have dared to take action against and exploit ordinary Liyue merchants.

However, they dared not make things difficult for their own people.

Is it because of force?

No, no matter how powerful the Death Star and I are, this is their home turf. Besides, if we really go too far, General Thunder won't stand idly by.

Therefore, Beidou couldn't just say things like, "This is my own effort, and it has nothing to do with Liyue," like a clueless fool.

Jiang Ning continued, "You feel sorry for those children who don't have enough to eat, but do you know what Ningguang would do?"

"The Ningguang Society has sent over many official ships, along with some damaged items that can be easily repaired."

"Then, under the pretext that the items were damaged and needed repair, the children were specifically hired to do some tasks within their capabilities, and then the supplies were distributed under this pretext..."

"Although it's an unconventional donation, it's perfectly in line with international exchanges and business communication. Unlike you, who directly became a mercenary for the resistance."

"If a fight really breaks out and your men are killed or injured, you'll be the one who regrets it."

“Now, I can pretend I saw nothing. You and your Death Star, return immediately.”

A faint light flickered in Jiang Ning's eyes, and the oppressive force emanating from him was that of a god, causing everyone present to lower their heads.

"Jiang Ning, does he really have such a tough side?"

Paimon said in a low voice.

Ying glared at Paimon, signaling her to shut up.

Beidou gritted his teeth, but finally loosened his clenched fists and said wearily:

"I understand, I'll take everyone back."

"Also, these weapons weren't sold by you, understand?"

Jiang Ning withdrew his imposing aura and said.

Beidou said dejectedly, "I understand."

Watching the crew of the Death Star gradually walk out, Jiang Ning felt that Bei Dou had oversimplified things.

The reason I oppose it is because Beidou's name is not legitimate, and how can we do business with rebels?

Should Inazuma and Liyue continue their diplomatic efforts?

If it were me, I would find a way to make this matter legitimate.

For example, our mission was insulted on your side, and then some of our official diplomats went missing on your side...

In a country without gods, people only dare to protest, but Jiang Ning really dared to bring his entire family of immortals, along with his old man Deng, to demand an explanation from General Lei Dian.

If you don't give me an explanation, you're insulting Liyue. This is intolerable.

To create momentum again, we must portray General Thunder as incompetent and tyrannical, and Liyue as acting on behalf of Heaven.

With a heavy heart and gritted teeth, I added two or three to make five, and my wife returned to Liyue.

When Beidou and the others left, they gave Xinhai an apologetic look.

Since we are in the wrong in this matter, and the gods of our own kingdom have spoken, we certainly cannot refute them.

Unless, in the future, the Death Star wants to be completely blacklisted by Liyue and can forget about docking at Liyue Harbor.

She can be willful if she's alone, but she still has so many brothers under her command.

However, one person stayed behind: Kaedehara Manyo. Jiang Ning ignored him.

Because she herself belongs to Inazuma, and can be completely separated from the Death Star.

Jiang Ning has no say in what he chooses.

Goro and Shinkai were completely suppressed by the aura and had no way to interrupt.

Xin Hai felt somewhat powerless, while Wu Lang's eyes were bloodshot with rage.
