"Don't be afraid."

In an instant, this group directly surrounded Xu Fan and his companions, making escape impossible.

Xu Fan smiled and greeted Miyamoto Kuro before stepping forward.

In the past few days, besides creating the Mechanical Warrior, he had done nothing else.

This group came looking for him, Xu Fan guessed it was likely due to the Ikeda family's affair.

Sure enough, as Xu Fan stepped forward, this group started cursing aggressively.

"Xu Fan, was it you who killed the Family Head of the Ikeda family?"

"You've got a lot of nerve to mess with the Ikeda family. Do you know that our Ozawa family has always been on good terms with them?"

"Yes, by going against the Ikeda family, you're making an enemy of us!"

Each person joined in the chorus, and the torrent of curses was overwhelming.

Xu Fan stood alone, facing this collective accusation, calmly cleaning his ear.

His nonchalant demeanor made it seem as if he didn't care about the crowd in front of him at all.

He glanced at everyone indifferently and asked, "Finished cursing?"

"Finished cursing? Xu, today I..."

Seeing Xu Fan's unconcerned expression, a martial artist who had always been friendly with the Ikeda family was about to curse again, rudely!

But before he could finish a sentence, a dark shadow flashed out from behind Xu Fan!

The shadow appeared like lightning and within an instant was in front of that person.

A katana at the waist flashed a cold glint, directly placed against the person's throat.

The katana, its blade flashing with cold light, was only half a centimeter away from severing the opponent's head!

The sudden intent to kill was like an invisible hand gripping the opponent's throat.

"Xu... Xu Fan, what do you... what do you want!"

Being seized by the Mechanical Warrior, the man's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

Xu Fan squinted at the large beads of sweat forming on his forehead and said with a smile, "Friend, let me remind you, your mouth smells bad."

"Xu Fan, don't act recklessly!"

In front of the entire Dongying Martial Arts World, this was indeed a bit too brazen. The surrounding martial artists began to crowd around.

One after another, they shouted warnings at Xu Fan.

"Heh, I never intended to act recklessly."

Xu Fan glanced around with a smile before fixing his gaze back on the man.

"I ask you, with your throat under my blade, do you want to kill me?"

"... "

Hearing Xu Fan's question, the man was almost furious enough to spit blood.

How the hell should I answer?

You already want to kill me, can I not want to kill you back?

With the knife at my throat, can I even tell the truth?

"I... I don't..."

Before he could finish saying he didn't want to, the blade inched closer!

"Friend, I want to hear the truth."

Xu Fan calmly watched his trembling figure and said.

"I want to, of course I damn want to kill you! You want to kill me, can I not want to kill you?"

Since it was death either way, he trembled with fear and shouted with a sobbing tone.

His wretched appearance made those around smirk involuntarily.

This was just too damn disgraceful.

Getting the Mechanical Warrior to act was just for these words from him, and Xu Fan, smiling, glanced at the people around him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you've all just witnessed the situation."

"As for the Ikeda family's issue, it was just as simple as that: they wanted to kill me first, but unfortunately, their fists weren't as tough as mine."

"Yes, it's that simple."

"I didn't come for this today, but if any of you want to play with me over this matter later, personally, I'm game."

The Ikeda family wanted to act against him, even went so far as to strap bombs onto his woman. Should he not retaliate?

The so-called friendship among these families mostly boiled down to disputes of interest.

If they truly wanted to avenge the Ikeda family and came for him, Xu Fan reckoned no one would step up.

As expected, after Xu Fan commanded the Mechanical Warrior with his mind to retract its katana and step back beside him,

the surrounding people, along with the guy who had just been threatened by the Mechanical Warrior, retreated quietly.

In the world of martial artists, it's always like this.

The one with the bigger fist makes the rules.

"Clap, clap, clap."

Thinking the conflict was about to end, the sound of applause suddenly caught everyone's attention.

Frowning, Xu Fan followed the sound.

Upon seeing, he realized the applause did not come from a stranger.

It was someone from the Honda family...

Leading them was Honda Tsubasa's father, Honda Ryuichi.

Honda Ryuichi led several family members directly towards Xu Fan.

The applause stopped once they reached Xu Fan.

Seemingly backed by the presence of his entourage, Honda Ryuichi stood in front of Xu Fan with confidence.

He sneered at Xu Fan with a smirk and said, "Xu Fan, don't you think you're out of place at this event today?"

Though his words were sarcastic, they weren't unfounded.

After all, this match-up was a matter for the Dongying Martial Arts families, and as an outsider, Xu Fan indeed wasn't supposed to be here.

After sneering at Xu Fan, Honda Ryuichi shifted his gaze to Miyamoto Kuro.

With a mocking look, Honda Ryuichi commented, seemingly amused, "Or rather, Xu Fan, have you, a Huaxia native, joined the Miyamoto Family?"

"Honda Ryuichi! You... you shut up!"

Honda Ryuichi was blatantly sowing discord, and Miyamoto Kuro's eyes reddened as he nearly rushed over to fight him.

"Miyamoto Kuro..."

Xu Fan intervened directly, stopping him.

Xu Fan wasn't about to get riled up by a few mocking words from Honda Ryuichi.

Squinting at Honda Ryuichi, Xu Fan replied, "True, being a Huaxia, I'm not quite suitable to be here."

"I'm here today to accompany someone."

This contest for the position of Dongying Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch wasn't something Xu Fan had intended to participate in personally from the start.

Locking eyes with Honda Ryuichi, Xu Fan brought Honda Tsubasa forward.

After all, standing before her was her biological father.

Looking at Honda Ryuichi, Honda Tsubasa's emotions were incredibly complex.

She understood Xu Fan's purpose in bringing her forward.

By choosing to attend this contest, it meant she would have to face him eventually.

Instead of putting it off, it was better to confront him sooner rather than later.

Even though he had ruthlessly expelled her from the Honda family, he was, after all, once her father...

Struggling, Honda Tsubasa prepared to call him father.

But before she could speak, Honda Ryuichi began to sneer first.
