"Fool..."

Finally unable to hold back, Xu Fan immediately pulled Honda Tsubasa into his embrace.

He understood clearly how important this opportunity was for her. Now, no matter how worried he was, he could only choose to support her.

Over the next two days, he could only try his best to see if there was any way he could help her.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

As the two were sharing a tender moment, suddenly, a burst of intense coughing came from behind.

Xu Fan, still holding Honda Tsubasa, immediately turned his head around.

He saw Asao Mai standing at the door, looking at him with a playful smile.

Seeing Xu Fan turn back, Asao Mai put on a serious face.

"Hmph, if you two are like this, I might get jealous."

"Pfft."

Asao Mai's pouty look immediately made Honda Tsubasa giggle.

She generously slipped out from Xu Fan's embrace and glanced over at Asao Mai.

"Alright, to keep Mai from getting jealous, I won't let him hug me anymore."

"Okay, Xu Fan, go keep Mai company, I'll continue with my training."

"Hey, don't!"

Seeing Honda Tsubasa's serious face as she made room for Xu Fan, Asao Mai instantly panicked.

She ran over to Honda Tsubasa hastily.

"Sister Tsubasa, I... I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

The two had talked quite a bit last night after leaving the room.

As far as their relationship was concerned, they already considered each other like sisters.

Given the situation, Asao Mai had no reservations whatsoever.

She was anxiously explaining, fearing her joke might cause a misunderstanding for Honda Tsubasa.

"Alright, enough with the explanations. Don't keep Sister Tsubasa from her practice, come with me."

But before she could finish explaining, Xu Fan was already leading her out of the garden.

With Asao Mai in tow, Xu Fan quickly led them to the parking lot.

"Xu Fan, did something happen with Sister Tsubasa?"

Asao Mai wasn't naive. She figured something must have happened before she came downstairs.

She looked at Xu Fan curiously and asked.

"Tell me, did you bully Sister Tsubasa? Hmph, if you did, I won't let you off easily!"

She said this while raising her small pink fists, her fierce demeanor making Xu Fan burst out laughing.

"What's this, are you not going to secretly climb into my bed anymore?"

"You!"

This teasing remark provoked Asao Mai to pounce on him.

"Alright, enough joking around."

After a brief playful tussle with Asao Mai, Xu Fan separated from her.

He looked at Asao Mai seriously and said, "Your sister Tsubasa has something very important to take care of, so let's not disturb her."

"Also, do everything you can to help her, understand?"

"Oh..."

Seeing Xu Fan's serious expression, Asao Mai knew he wasn't joking. She obediently responded with an "Oh".

Following Xu Fan into the car, she asked, "So, Xu Fan, are we now going to help Sister Tsubasa?"

"Sort of..."

Xu Fan started the engine and sighed as he spoke.

He wasn't sure if they would be able to help Honda Tsubasa this time.

In any case, with only two days left, he had to do something for her.

At the very least, he needed to lend a hand.

Quickly starting the engine, Xu Fan drove off like an angry dragon.

His destination was none other than Song Xiaozhu.

The purpose, of course, was related to the Dongying martial arts family's matter.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Miyamoto Kuro, but Miyamoto Kuro represented the Miyamoto Itto-ryu. Asking him to help Honda Tsubasa in the martial arts meeting wasn't quite appropriate.

Compared to Miyamoto Kuro, the Seven Kills Tower, which was not part of the Dongying martial arts family, was much more convenient.

Soon, the two reached their destination.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to make a call."

Xu Fan and Asao Mai got out of the car, and after a brief word, he took out his phone.

"Hello, Song Xiaozhu, it's Xu Fan..."

He dialed the number, and shortly after, the call connected. Xu Fan exchanged a few words with Song Xiaozhu over the phone and then hung up.

Soon after, less than a minute later, a figure rushed out of the building toward them.

"Boss... Boss, you... why didn't you tell me you were coming..."

Song Xiaozhu hurriedly approached Xu Fan, panting as he spoke.

He wasn't sure if his appearance might have startled anyone.

"It's alright, it was a spontaneous decision to come see you. Informing you would have been inconvenient, so I just came over directly."

"Alright, take me upstairs."

"Oh, come with me."

Hearing Xu Fan's explanation, Song Xiaozhu nodded repeatedly and led Xu Fan upstairs.

He kept glancing back at Xu Fan, wondering what matter could have made his boss seek him out.

"Sir, please sit. I'll ask someone to prepare tea for you."

"No need to trouble yourself, just sit, let's talk directly."

After leading Xu Fan to the living room, Song Xiaozhu thought about having his staff prepare the tea and properly hosting Xu Fan and Asao Mai.

But Xu Fan waved him off, directly refusing.

Currently, he was only focused on figuring out how to solve Honda Tsubasa's issue; relaxing with tea was out of the question...

"Song Xiaozhu, I want to ask you, are you aware of the Dongying martial arts family's upcoming competition to select the Alliance Hierarch?"

Seeing Song Xiaozhu seated, Xu Fan went straight to the point.

"Uh, yes, I've heard about it."

"But, sir, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

Hearing Xu Fan bring this up, Song Xiaozhu was slightly startled.

He wondered, what relevance could this have to Xu Fan, someone from Huaxia?

But quickly, he figured it out.

His boss might have quite an interest in that position.

"Sir, you're from Huaxia, this position might not be quite..."

While Xu Fan could gain benefits from holding the position, it was still somewhat inappropriate.

Song Xiaozhu was worried Xu Fan didn't understand, so he pointed it out directly.

"Haha, I'm not interested in that position."

Hearing his reminder, Xu Fan chuckled.

If not for wanting to do something for Honda Tsubasa, he wouldn't dive into these murky waters.

Song Xiaozhu's Seven Kills Tower was ultimately the local power in Tokyo. Visiting him was naturally to see if Song Xiaozhu had any ideas.

"I want Honda Tsubasa to take that position. What do you think, how difficult would that be?"

"Uh, well..."

Hearing Xu Fan's explanation, Song Xiaozhu was taken aback.

He awkwardly grimaced before saying, "The difficulty would be considerable..."
