In the three days that Yi Beidou was missing, no one was particularly surprised. After all, people had grown accustomed to his habit of appearing and disappearing without a trace.
Everyone's attention was focused on what stance the Japanese government might take after the three-day deadline. Some believed Japan's leader could never publicly bow to a single individual and would likely initiate a new round of conflict. However, most people felt that Japan should, and must, yield.
Most importantly, although he was originally from Donghua, he had since defected and held no specific nationality.
He might only be one man, but he was a being unique in all the world—someone who could potentially usher in a new era.
Even the names and statuses of Japan's current leader, or even the Emperor of Japan, would likely pale in comparison to Yi Beidou's in the annals of human history. For them to bow to such a figure was no disgrace.
