The porcelain cup emitted an intense sound as it shot through the air!

If it were to hit, it would be fatal or cause serious injury. Xu Fan saw this and let out a cold snort, extending a hand to catch it!

Immediately, two fingers precisely and stably clamped down on the incoming teacup.

Xu Fan diverted his gaze from the undisturbed tea in the cup and looked towards Honda Ryuichi.

"Mr. Honda, this tea would be wasted if spilled."

"…"

Although the previous strike was just a test, Honda Ryuichi hadn't held back at all.

A porcelain cup filled with boiling tea, even the strongest masters could at best catch the cup steadily, but the tea inside would surely leave an embarrassing scene for the other party.

But this young man in front of him, the tea did not spill a drop.

Such prowess is nothing short of extraordinary…

Having heard from the clan about this young man who dared to challenge the Martial Arts World of Dongying, Honda Ryuichi had thought it exaggerated, but now witnessing it with his own eyes, he began to understand why Miyamoto Kuro willingly acted as this young man's subordinate.

"Haha, it seems Mr. Xu Fan is also someone who understands tea."

Surprised, Honda Ryuichi quickly composed himself, took a sip from his tea, then said, "Have a taste of my tea?"

As if to ease Xu Fan's guard, Honda Ryuichi was the first to drink, as Xu Fan looked at the tea and then took a sip with a smile.

"Mr. Honda, inviting me all the way here today, I suppose it's not just for a cup of tea, right?"

Not bothering to beat around the bush with this guy, Xu Fan put down the teacup and looked directly at him.

From the beginning until now, although the Honda family under his leadership was polite, his instincts told Xu Fan today's invitation was not that simple.

Clearly caught off guard by Xu Fan's straightforwardness, Honda Ryuichi was momentarily taken aback, then awkwardly laughed, "Haha, Mr. Xu Fan, you're quite straightforward yourself."

"Alright, I, Honda Ryuichi, won't beat around the bush either. I invited you today for the secret manuals of the various Martial Arts families of Dongying."

"Since you and my daughter are friends, then you are also my friend. Xu Fan, if you hand over the martial arts secret manuals, I assure you, you won't miss out on any benefits."

"Even if you want my daughter, that's not a problem."

Honda Ryuichi's gaze was unwavering.

The news that Xu Fan now holds the secret manuals of the major martial arts families of Dongying has already spread throughout Dongying. As for Xu Fan's claims yesterday, Honda Ryuichi didn't believe them at all.

No man who treasures a prized possession would acknowledge it openly, would he?

Understanding what those recorded martial arts manuals mean, no one knows better than Honda Ryuichi.

If he could get these manuals, he could discern the weaknesses of each martial arts style!

These manuals would also become an essential card in restraining other families!

At that point, in cooperation with the young man before him, the Honda family's status in Dongying would rise to unimaginable heights!

What a monumental achievement would that be?

Honda Ryuichi couldn't imagine. He believed as long as he played his cards right, he would be the hero of the whole Honda family!

Then, the entire Dongying Martial Arts World would bow to him!

For this, he's willing to pay any price, even sacrificing his daughter's lifelong happiness!

Sacrificing one's own interests, he believed Honda Tsubasa would understand.

"So, what do you think, Xu Fan? Interested?"

The anticipation made Honda Ryuichi's mood incredibly excited.

Suppressing his excitement, he looked at Xu Fan, waiting for a nod.

"Pfft."

Without the expected contemplation, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

It wasn't difficult to guess the calculations going on in Honda Ryuichi's head at this moment.

Tapping the table, Xu Fan looked at Honda Ryuichi and said, "Mr. Honda, firstly, the secret manuals you're talking about, I truly don't have. I'm not hiding it from you."

"Secondly, at your age, why are you still dreaming such grand ambitions?"

"Unifying the Martial Arts World? Frankly, you don't have that skill, and if I wanted to do it, would I need your help?"

"You!"

With just a few words, Xu Fan mercilessly shattered Honda Ryuichi's dreams. The humiliation in his heart made Honda Ryuichi look at Xu Fan with hatred.

The icy gaze was chilling.

As if he had transformed into a beast ready to devour, likely to consume Xu Fan in the next second!

Staring at each other, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"True, my words may sound harsh, but they're the truth."

"Moreover, don't you think that even offering your daughter is a bit underhanded?"

Honda Ryuichi's earlier words couldn't have been more explicit, that agreeing to his conditions would mean offering Honda Tsubasa as if she were a gift.

He said it with such decisiveness...

Honda Tsubasa is his daughter. Just last night, she was foolishly worried all night, concerned that her actions would disappoint her family.

And now, her so-called family shamelessly decides to sell her.

Thinking it through, it is indeed quite ironic.

"Haha, underhanded?"

Honda Ryuichi felt no shame from Xu Fan's sarcasm. Instead, he looked at Xu Fan coldly and laughed.

"Xu Fan, you're still too young."

"Throughout history, who hasn't been ruthless to accomplish great things?"

"What of a daughter? If I can seize this opportunity, no matter the cost, I, Honda Ryuichi, won't hesitate for a second!"

Upon hearing of his daughter's decisions yesterday, Honda Ryuichi had already considered her as expendable.

If using this expendable piece meant obtaining the secret manuals of the major Dongying Martial Arts families, what regrets could he have?

To him, this was the most profitable deal!

This time, having finally lured Xu Fan, he was determined to get the manuals by any means necessary.

Honda Ryuichi, looking coldly at Xu Fan, sneered, "Xu Fan, I've spoken kindly ahead of time. If you listen, fine, if not, so be it, but today you must hand over the secret manuals!"

"Otherwise, there will be consequences for you!"

"Oh?"

Instantly, Honda Ryuichi's words made the atmosphere tense.

Xu Fan squinted, chuckled.

"What, then? Planning on playing hardball with me?"
