Chapter 680: The Chasing Fishing Boat

Soon, a bunch of countries started communications with Luo Yue in hopes of getting their forgiveness .
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Luo Yue was very easy to talk to and only asked them to pay 30 billion Luo Yue dollars as compensation, and it would be fine . Although that was still a huge amount, Luo Yue was willing to give them a loan . Moreover, to a country, 30 billion Luo Yue dollars was an acceptable amount .
Once one country paid it, the other countries too felt that this much was nothing . If Luo Yue fired any missile onto their land, they would end up losing more than 30 billion . So what if all the countries in the world could join together to annihilate Luo Yue - their losses would be gone forever .
Other than the US, almost all 30 countries which participated in the second invasion agreed to Luo Yue's compensation plan .
The Union didn't expect that while it was still coming up with a plan, most of the consequences of the war would have already been resolved through private negotiation .
Seeing this, everyone knew that Luo Yue wasn't really crazy and didn't really want a third world war, they just wanted money . As for the US, it was impossible to mediate anything with just some money .
Its current president became another tragedy, as although he wasn't impeached by the people, he did have to resign after the second failed war .
The US had to cope with mass protests and riots once again . Some people disagreed with the second invasion of Luo Yue, while others asked for a third one .
Negotiations between Luo Yue and the new US President, President Darcy, soon began . Darcy didn't want to meddle around with the issue, as he had just come to power and wanted to recover the US economy and its stability .
So the two reached a consensus . The US would compensate Luo Yue 200 billion Luo Yue dollars for the losses caused by the war, 50 billion Luo Yue dollars for the negative impact it had had on their civilians' mental health, and another 100 billion to get back all the captives . Altogether, the US compensated Luo Yue with 350 billion Luo Yue dollars .
With such a huge compensation, even if spread over multiple payments, the US sunk into a huge economic downwards spiral . Furthermore, the US had actually lost much more than that . Their pacific fleet had been crippled, and the losses to their ground and air forces were immeasurable .
Although they could recover with time, the Pacific was a place where power mattered . Now that their pacific fleet had been 80% destroyed in the war, the UK, France, and even Japan started advancing their fleets all over the Pacific . Perhaps this was America's biggest loss .
Because of Luo Yue's power, the Southeast Asian Alliance could do nothing about it either, and so Luo Yue started stationing power at the Malacca Strait .
…
Sister Yan didn't feel that watching Ye Mo forge artefacts was boring at all . In fact, she was dazed by it . She didn't understand how Ye Mo could pull out a sword and colorful stone out of nowhere .
Then suddenly, Ye Mo shot out fire from his palm, and the sword floated in the air .
She cultivated ancient martial arts, sure, but what Ye Mo was doing now exceeded the limits of ancient martial arts . She really wanted to know what Ye Mo must have gone through .
Because he had gotten stronger and thanks to the Five Element Stone, Ye Mo managed to refine a damaged top grade flying sword into an upper top grade flying sword . Although it hadn't reached the extreme grade, that wasn't due to the materials, but due to the fact that Ye Mo wasn't a blacksmith and that his power was a little low .
The flying sword made a crisp howl and Ye Mo got up with satisfaction .
"You-" Sister Yan said one word when Ye Mo suddenly pulled her behind him .
