At Jiang Chen’s mansion door.

“The weather is nice today.”

“Yeah, the weather is good.” Kishida’s face squeezed into a smile. Without giving an opportunity for Jiang Chen to change the topic, he quickly showed Jiang Chen a document. “What do you think? We’ve already joined the Earth Defense Alliance, so the defense tax…”

“Haha, of course,” Jiang Chen, who just came back from Coconut Island, laughed and patted Kishida’s slim shoulder. Jiang Chen reached for his pocket then looked around before his expression became disappointed. “You see… I don’t have a pen. Why don’t you just leave the document here and I will send it to you after I’m done with it?”

“No need, no need, I have a pen here.” Kishida immediately reached into his pocket and took out a pen. He then handed it to Jiang Chen with a smile. “You can have the pen, so now you can sign it.”

“Hmph—”

Kishida pretended not to hear the sound as he continued to gaze at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face. He was prepared to stay there until the document was signed.

Since Nippon joined the Earth Defense Alliance, Nippon completely got on the wrong side of UA, so it changed its diplomatic stance and began to lean toward Xin. The previous territorial and historical issues were no longer topics of discussion.

However, when Kishida happily went to Jiang Chen with the Defense Tax Agreement, he couldn’t find Jiang Chen anymore.

That’s right, Jiang Chen disappeared!

This made him extremely anxious and paranoid! First, he didn’t expect Jiang Chen to be such a rogue. Second, the defense tax costed Nippon more than a billion per day, which meant he couldn’t wait any longer. Despite being an influential diplomat, he turned into a paparazzi and waited around Jiang Chen’s mansion all day long.

Fortunately, after waiting for a week, Jiang Chen, who just came back from the apocalypse, finally showed up.

Since Jiang Chen couldn’t find any excuses, he sighed and unwillingly picked up the pen. But right then, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Kishida and coughed. “I suddenly remembered that today is Saturday, not a working day—”

As soon as Kishida heard Jiang Chen making another excuse, he couldn’t stand this anymore. His eyes stared straight at Jiang Chen with a tragic look.

“Mr. Jiang, please don’t joke with me anymore. I know you’ve been hiding from me all these days, but we joined the Earth Defense Alliance. In other words, we’re now comrades inside the same trench. Why are you giving us trouble? If you’re angry with the joint military exercise, I can apologize. I just hope you can relinquish the past and treat us equally.”

But your apology is worth nothing.

Of course, Jiang Chen also thought about this. If he really said it, it would damage the relationship between his allies. Since Nippon already joined them, he should relinquish the past.

“Haha, Mr. Kishida, I’m not that type of person.” Jiang Chen held onto his arm. “I wouldn’t make you apologize.”

Jiang Chen picked up the pen again, and under the staring of the mung bean-like eyes, he signed his name at the bottom of the document.

After Kishida accepted the signed documents, he repeatedly praised and thanked Jiang Chen. He thanked but refused Jiang Chen’s invitation for a few drinks and immediately left. Even with the document signed, it would still take a few days to lift the defense tax. Any wasted time now meant wasted money.

After Jiang Cehn sent off the Foreign Minister of Nippon, he returned inside.

As he walked past the entrance, he saw Natasha holding a bottle of champagne in her hand and relaxingly enjoyed the pleasant afternoon.

“What’s the matter? Did you lose money?” Looking at Jiang Chen, Natasha whistled at him and teased.

“I did lose money.” Jiang Chen was very honest and nodded.

Not only did he lose money, but he lost a lot of money.

The idea of the few billion flying away pained him. If he knew better, he would’ve returned a few days later from the apocalypse.

Although the money wouldn’t end up in his pocket…

“It’s fine, you’re rich.” Natasha gulped down a sip of champagne and let out a short burp. She rolled her eyes as she said, “It’s not like you need that money to survive.”

“Drinking during the day? Aren’t you afraid of getting fat?” Jiang Chen mimicked her and rolled his eyes too.

“Are you? Obviously, you don’t seem to mind.” Natasha snorted, giggled, and raised her chest.

“I like it there, but not here.” Jiang Chen pretended to be ferocious.

Not only did Natasha not show any fear, but with a grin, she raised an eyebrow, provoking him.

“I only gain fat there. Try it yourself?”

Try?

I’ll try it!

Since they were the only ones at home, Jiang Chen had nothing to worry about. He turned into a big bad wolf and leaped at her.

Well, Natasha didn’t lie.

Jiang Chen could swear that all her fat shifted to her chest. Even if it was said that Slavs were prone to beer bellies, she somehow managed to maintain her great figure. Her well-proportioned vest line on her lower abdomen was more addictive to touch than her chest.

After they messed around for a bit, Jiang Chen finally let go of the exhausted Natasha while breathing heavily.

He thought she would have to nap for a bit, but she unexpectedly turned over and her fatigue instantly disappeared. Her two fit legs pinched Jiang Chen’s waist as she pushed him down, then she tightened her legs and rode on his lower abdomen.

Too deceiving! It turned out that she faked everything!

But since he did everything he wanted to, he’d let her freely dominate for a moment. Jiang Chen let the proud Natasha ride him to regain her confidence as a former agent.

“To be honest, sometimes I really can’t understand you.” Natasha’s finger circled Jiang Chen’s chest as her witty sapphire eyes cast a lethargic vibe and examined Jiang Chen top to bottom. “Sometimes, I feel like you’re a vulgar businessman who couldn’t be any more vulgar and you always talk about interests. But sometimes, you don’t play by the rules and do something completely outside common sense.”

“Not to mention you; even I can’t understand myself.” Jiang Chen’s eyes gazed into the pair of sapphires and he suddenly let out a helpless sigh. “I could just be a landlord who rules a couple plots of land, so why should I bother with so much? Maybe by the time Harmony’s space colonization ship arrives, Superman, Spiderman would all appear and I wouldn’t need to worry about all this.”

“What are you talking about? How come I don’t understand?” For a moment, Natasha didn’t understand Jiang Chen’s sudden spontaneous change of topic. She looked at him and said: “But if the extraterrestrial civilization really comes, even if you want to protect your land as a landlord, you won’t have the chance?”

“That depends.” Jiang Chen shrugged and didn’t explain further.

A century would be more than enough for Lin Lin to invent interdimensional travel technology. At that time, he could just take his family to the apocalypse, and the Harmony Civilization wouldn’t be able to find him at all.

Of course, this would be the last resort.
