“They demand the return of the bodies?” “Do they even have the right?”

“All of them should rot in hell!”

“Rest assured, we’ll build a communal grave for them, and it’ll be a focal point for society’s disdain!”

Remnants of past events persistently lingered in the populace’s mind.

These people failed to acknowledge their wrongdoings, but dared to demand the bodies of their so-called ‘heroes.’

Their audacity was enough to ignite the team leader’s fury.

Regardless, he dismissed their telegrams and ignored their phone calls.

The bodies would not be returned until a resolution was agreed upon.

Until then, there was no room for negotiation.

The dispute flared up online, a wild fire fanned by widespread speculation. Meanwhile, Luo Feng spent the following afternoon treasure hunting as the online controversy raged on.

Casting his gaze skyward, he noted the air thick with fighter jets and helicopters, all bound for the military fortress to transport bodies and conduct on-site investigation.

“Good day, Mr. Luo. We represent the Japanese Foreign Affairs Ministry. I am

Dr. Sano.” On that day, a Japanese man approached Luo Feng, swathed in a bulky white down jacket. Extending his hand for a handshake, he attempted to foster a diplomatic rapport.

In such a delicate situation, Luo Feng ensured he did not allow pride to blind him. He could not afford to provide them any excuse for retribution. Thus, he extended his own hand, greeting Dr. Sano with a curt, “Hello.”

“Mr. Luo, we’ve come primarily to claim the bodies of our former soldiers, our past heroes,” Dr. Sano explained. “The northeastern border command clarified that these bodies are now considered cultural relics. As per current regulations, any item excavated by a licensed treasure hunter belongs to that treasure hunter. They’ve said they have no authority to decide on your behalf, so we have come to you directly.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng gave a dry chuckle. The implications were clear. They refused to relinquish the bodies. Yet a refusal demanded a justifiable reason, didn’t it? They sought the bodies of their own people and were even prepared to pay. If he declined to sell, he would be seen as unreasonable. However, by shifting all responsibility to Luo Feng, the situation seemed more plausible. After all, the rule stated any item unearthed by a licensed treasure hunter was the hunter’s property. The authorities would then purchase it, just like they had done with his previous finds.

“Heh, what did you say? Retrieve what?” Luo Feng queried, his expression chilling at the mention of ‘heroes.’

“I mean, we wish to return our former soldiers, our past heroes, home – the thousands of bodies found in your military fortresses!” Dr. Sano elucidated.

“And you’re refer to them as what?”

“Heroes!” Dr. Sano repeated, clearly understanding Luo Feng’s implication.

“Heh, heroes, you say? In that case, I’m afraid negotiation is off the table,” Luo Feng replied, his face stern. Labeling such malevolent individuals as ‘heroes’ on our land was an affront to our dignity.

Couldn’t they show a shred of respect?

From their viewpoint, those who die without surrender may seem heroic. But to us, such a label is an outright insult.

Couldn’t they be a bit more considerate?

“Mr. Luo, I believe it’s crucial that we remain rational. No one desires war. Yet when war happens, our stances naturally differ. We cannot be forced to align, can we?” Dr. Sano proposed gravely.

“Heh, true, I cannot compel you to stand with us. But you should respect our sacrifices. You arrived here, wreaked havoc, and invaded. Don’t you bear any guilt? Yet you dare to label yourselves as heroes? Is your intent to provoke us?”

Luo Feng laughed scornfully, throwing the question back at him. “Mr. Luo, we express our remorse for the destruction and invasion that we have wrought upon your land. We have inflicted pain upon everyone. In spite of this, please release the bodies of these soldiers to us. Their descendants eagerly await their return,” Dr. Sano pled cautiously, ensuring not to further provoke Luo Feng.

After all, he held the bodies and was infamous for his ill temper and hostility towards the Japanese. Despite any potential worsening in Luo Feng’s demeanor, he maintained his placid smile.

“Heh, very well, it can be arranged,” Luo Feng unexpectedly conceded. Dr. Sano, alongside countless viewers of Luo Feng’s livestream, was caught off guard. What just transpired? Had Luo Feng abruptly changed his stance? “Damn, what’s going on, host? You’re seriously agreeing to this?” one viewer queried.

“I had you pegged wrong, host. I believed you would stand your ground, refusing to release the bodies,” another stated.

“Yeah, we completely misread you, host!” echoed the masses..
