Feeling Xiaoba's arrival, Ye Fan was very pleased.

He asked Su Rou, "I need a house here. It's a bit late now. Can I still buy a house?"

"No problem, Master. The real estate agents won't clock out as early as the federation. What location do you have in mind?"

"Near the coast."

"Master, the houses there aren't great because sea monsters often come ashore. Not many people choose coastal houses. Many places are abandoned, and even those who live there have to keep their windows and doors shut tight, with walls built high, pretending no one is home to prevent sea monsters from getting into the yard."

"It's fine. I just want peace and quiet. Choose a villa with a larger area."

"Alright, I'll take you there."

The group didn't bother eating and drove to the eastern coastal area.

"This seaside property sales center has many houses. Let's go in."

Ye Fan and Tanya followed Su Rou out of the car and went to the sales center.

The reception staff saw guests coming in and immediately went to greet them.

"We want to see your seaside villas."

At this moment, Su Rou put on a stern face, losing her demure demeanor around Ye Fan, looking a bit authoritative.

"Sure, ma'am. We have many seaside villas with various building areas—200 sq meters, 300 sq meters, 500 sq meters, and even over 1000 sq meters. What type are you interested in?"

The sales staff handed over a brochure, which marked the locations of the seaside villas and included photos.

Su Rou passed the brochure to Ye Fan, and Ye Fan quickly spotted one he liked.

Building area: 1800 sq meters, garden area: 4500 sq meters.

The villa is located in the northeast corner of the entire Wanguo Island, with a large beach in front.

Additionally, a protruding reef mountain separates this villa from the others, providing a relatively private space.

Seeing Ye Fan looking at this house, the sales staff immediately began to introduce it: "Sir, you have a keen eye. This is the best villa in the Bihai Yuntian Villa District. The previous owner was in a hurry to sell due to traveling, and now it's available for half the original listing price. Buying this is a profit."

"What was the launch price? And what's the price now?"

"The launch price was five billion. Now it's just 2.5 billion New Coin to take it."

At this time, Su Rou spoke up: "That's too high. Everyone knows that coastal villas are the hardest to sell now. Sea monsters might come ashore anytime, and might even eat you if you're not careful. This whole villa district has become a deserted estate that hardly anyone buys. That price lacks sincerity."

The sales staff hurriedly defended, "Ma'am, despite the sea monster threat, once it's well renovated, the issue isn't too significant. Those who dare to buy villas have some private armament. Ordinary sea monsters would just mean extra meals for you."

"No way, no way. That price is absolutely unacceptable. Five hundred million at most."

Su Rou was definitely a tough negotiator.

The sales staff's face showed a difficult expression: "Five hundred million won't do. If we sell this villa for five hundred million, no one would want the smaller one next to it. We'd be setting ourselves up for issues over a single house."

Ye Fan looked at the smaller adjacent one, linked with the previous best villa. Building area: 1000 sq meters, garden area: over 3000 sq meters.

There was also a beach here, connected to the main villa's beach.

On the left of the villa was a large grove of palm trees, ensuring good privacy. This made the beach of the two villas a large sandy stretch.

Ye Fan straightforwardly said, "I'll buy this one too. How about a billion for both?"

"Really? Let me consult with our manager."

The sales staff hurried off, while Su Rou, slightly dissatisfied, said, "Master, why buy so many houses? Also, you should get them both for nine hundred million."

Ye Fan waved it off, "It's alright, this way we can make more demands."

A moment later, the manager rushed over, carrying contracts.

"Sir, we're pleased you've chosen properties here. We've agreed to the billion price for both."

"Good, I have one more request, to build a wall in the back gardens of both villas to create a separate large garden. I don't want anyone prying."

"Sure, this request can be met. How high would you like the wall?"

"Ten meters, completed within five days. Is that doable?"

The manager couldn't help but swallow hard, wondering if Ye Fan was building a prison with such high walls, but ended up not asking.

Luckily, the distance for these two stretches of wall is short, so it can be rushed.

"How thick should it be?"

"Just sturdy enough not to fall."

Ye Fan's plan for the wall was just a ruse. Once it's built, he would add an extra layer of advanced fortress walls inside to ensure the garden's security.

The supervisor agreed to the request without hesitation.

After both parties signed, Ye Fan directly took several large bags out from the car trunk.

They were actually taken out from the Commander's Backpack, which left Su Rou dumbfounded; she had no idea when Ye Fan put the bags inside.

A billion New Coins, with bills of one thousand each not being particularly plentiful, fit into just two large bags.

After handing over a billion New Coins, the contract was completed, and these two coastal mansions became Ye Fan's property.

The sales team attached great importance and immediately found people to start working overnight.

.....

At the center of Wanguo Island lies a massive park, covering an area of several dozen kilometers.

This is the headquarters of the Multi-Nation Federation, where meetings are held whenever significant events occur on the island, and it also serves as the stationing base for multinational forces.

Tonight marks the day of the Multi-Nation Federation meeting.

James from the White Eagle Country, the chair of the meeting, was seated in the main position hosting the meeting.

"Today's topics have mostly been discussed; is there anything else to be said about the Qin Han People's request to join the parliament?"

From a few positions below him, the representative from the Foot Basin Country spoke up: "Suppressing Qin Han has always been our primary task in this multinational conference. I believe the existing policy should not only not be reduced but strengthened to prevent the Qin Han People's forces on Wanguo Island from reviving. The position of a member should not be given."

The representative from the Curry Country immediately seconded: "I agree, Qin Han People absolutely cannot be allowed to gain status. Once they obtain influence on the island, it will be difficult to control."

The representative from the Shanshen Country also spoke: "The Qin Han People are indeed arrogant. Our country's people clashed with Qin Han People at the slave market today, resulting in two of our people being injured. We will never tolerate such behavior! I propose that Qin Han People be banned from the island from now on!"

Seeing all these countries in opposition, the people from the Rakshasa Country offered a different opinion.

"Currently, many things on Wanguo Island rely on imports from Jiangzhou or Loose Province, both Qin Han territories. They are very dissatisfied with the parliament consisting of no Qin Han People, so I think suppression is not a long-term solution. We should give them some incentives, which would be more advantageous for us."

James listened to everyone's statements but did not immediately express his stance, instead he said: "Managing the local Qin Han People is indeed challenging, as their desire for status grows daily. Moreover, there are Qin Han forces around us."

"Especially Jiangzhou Base City, where Zheng Jinnan's power is still strong, and we have maintained good relations with Jiangzhou. Today, he called me requesting our assistance in capturing a Qin Han Person."

"Chairman, which person is Zheng Jinnan asking us to capture? What's so important that he made a phone call?"

Zheng Jinnan produced a large photograph, depicting a full-body image and a portrait.

"This person's name is Ye Fan, hailing from Divine Dragon Province, is a base leader who formed a unit called the Dawn Army, and has essentially unified Divine Dragon Province."

Someone asked: "Is he a Qin Han noble?"

"No, he isn't. The Qin Han nobility's influence in the north is insignificant and was completely cleared out post-apocalypse. He is not only not a noble but an enemy of the Qin Han nobility, the person Zheng Jinnan enjoined us to apprehend. According to his intel, Ye Fan has arrived at Wanguo Island, likely intending to establish a foothold and develop maritime forces."

At this moment, the Rakshasa representative spoke up: "I know this person; he is not only an enemy of Qin Han, but also ours. Our Hai Shan Wei was destroyed by him; this person is vicious and violent; be extremely cautious. He founded Dawn City, yet it is not coastal, so his ambition to develop naval forces is plausible."

Though the White Eagle Country generally doesn't get along with Rakshasa, they reached common ground at this time.

Then, the Zijing Empire representative raised a concern: "But there are over a million Qin Han People on Wanguo Island; if Ye Fan blends in discreetly among them, it's challenging to spot him."

"Exactly, tracking a Qin Han Person is genuinely difficult; ideally, this task should be accomplished by Qin Han People themselves."

"But without granting the Qin Han People some status, they won't readily cooperate. They are only being oppressed now, not yet convinced."

"I think handing Qin Han People a position as a member would be better." An opinion voiced by the representative from Tieba Country.

"We Rakshasa agree too, as long as Ye Fan isn't made a member, we have no objections."

After everyone's opinions were voiced, James finally shared his viewpoint.

"I agree too; a seat in parliament doesn't signify anything substantial. The island's discourse's power isn't determined by a single position. Let's do this: inform the local Qin Han gangs to select a representative within a week to join the parliament."

"Additionally, post Ye Fan's warrant. There isn't definite news whether he's on Wanguo Island, just making some gestures to placate Zheng Jinnan."

.....

In the villa, Ye Fan stood atop the large mansion, on the fifth-floor balcony, watching some suspicious people loitering in the distance.

These are the tailing folks, presumably from that so-called Tai Chi Tiger Gang from Shanshen Country.

The opposite party seems quite persistent, continually tracking him to his doorstep.

Ye Fan thought he needed more manpower.

Since his people couldn't make it onto the island, he decided to produce some more soldiers.

He activated the system, selecting ten special forces.

However, after two special forces soldiers had just emerged, the system alert abruptly went off.

[Commander, your brigade personnel is already fully staffed, currently at 24,000 army and 4,000 air force. To continue increasing the force, please construct the next facility.]

[As the brigade is fully staffed, unlock new facility, dock.]
