"Puff."

"Don't be afraid, just wait a little bit, I can manage that."

It seemed that Xu Fan was amused by his own frightened look, as he suddenly changed his tone, indicating he could barely accept it.

This up and down truly gave Ono the feeling of being on a roller coaster. Is this big brother trying to scare him to death?

Finally calming down this unleashed tiger was accomplished, and as for the aftermath, that was left for Yoshida Shun to handle personally.

"What are you standing there for!"

"Hurry up and entertain the guest!"

The main task now was to ensure that Xu Fan was well taken care of, to avoid angering this master.

Ono scolded the receptionist girl who was standing dumbfounded nearby.

This directly scared her stupid, as the boy she had previously disregarded was held in such high regard by these henchmen?

Hadn't she dug her own grave by speaking out of turn to him?

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed. Under Ono's scolding, she dared not show even a trace of disrespect and obediently ran over to make tea for Xu Fan.

As for the group of henchmen behind Ono, they obediently parted to make a path for Xu Fan.

If even Ono didn't dare to provoke him, they certainly wouldn't.

It must be understood that since Ono was a favored confidant of Yoshida Shun, if he showed respect to someone, they should kneel when addressing them.

They retreated to the side, sneaking glances at Xu Fan, their minds racing with speculation.

Could this really be the president's father? Can't be, he's too young, right?

Could it be... the president's godfather?

...

"Xu Fan, I, I feel something's off..."

Treated like an esteemed guest by this group of henchmen, Asao Mai felt strangely out of place.

She had always lowered her head and avoided them whenever she saw them before.

Now she was actually being served by them? The contrast was just too stark!

She quietly and timidly sidled up to Xu Fan, murmuring to him.

Yes, she suspected that the smiling faces of this group likely harbored hidden plots!

"Silly girl, what's so strange about this?"

Regarding Asao Mai's unease, Xu Fan paid no mind.

He shot her a glance and leisurely sipped some tea.

After the tea's aroma dispersed from his mouth, he slowly explained, "There's only one rule when dealing with these people."

"Whoever's fists are bigger, they're the boss."

"Of course, they must be disgruntled, and I guess they're hoping Yoshida Shun will avenge them."

"This..."

With Xu Fan's explanation, Asao Mai seemed to understand somewhat and nodded slightly.

As for Yoshida Shun, she only knew of him through rumors, and the thought of meeting him soon made her a bit nervous.

She wondered if this notorious figure in Ancient Nara would be a match for Xu Fan.

"Hmm?"

While lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening from the company's entrance.

Hearing the footsteps, not only did Xu Fan and Honda Tsubasa look over that way.

Everyone in Yoshida Group also turned to look.

Especially Ono, who was eagerly awaiting!

It's no wonder he was excited. After all, only Yoshida Shun's return could set things right for him!

As the footsteps grew nearer, Ono's excitement mounted.

Yet, upon seeing the person's true face, he couldn't help but spat out some curses.

The newcomers weren't Yoshida Shun.

Instead, they were a few of Yoshida Shun's henchmen!

"Baka..."

It was entirely a waste of excitement earlier; even Yoshida Shun couldn't help but curse.

However, the few henchmen who entered were immensely excited!

"Yoshi! Ono, you truly are my Murashita's boss! So impressive!"

The newcomers weren't others but the henchmen who previously went to Asao Mai's place to collect debts!

From the bandage wrapping the leader Murashita's head, it could be seen that the reason for their delay in returning was mostly due to attending to their injuries.

Even though Xu Fan had only used a slap, he had been hurt quite badly after being sent flying.

Though he looked in a sorry state, his spirits were incredibly high at the moment.

Seeing Xu Fan seated among the henchmen, he burst out laughing.

However, the laughter tugged at his wounds, and he exclaimed in pain for a while before two of his juniors helped him stand steadily.

"Ono, your action speed is impressively fast!"

He suppressed his laughter and gave Ono a serious thumbs-up!

What strength! Wasn't it?

No sooner had he been bullied by this punk, Ono immediately brought him back to the company!

Not just him, even this woman named Asao Mai was brought along!

Who could match this efficiency?

Murashita instantly understood why Ono was a favored confidant under Yoshida Shun.

"Heh, courage to hit me? Now, I'll teach you how wrong you are!"

The opportunity for revenge came so swiftly that Murashita's face twisted with excitement!

He rolled up his sleeves, eyes sinister, and led his two juniors towards Xu Fan.

His eyes occasionally strayed to Asao Mai, contemplating that after teaching this brat a lesson, he'd consider her initiation into the field!

Maybe, he could personally make her a real woman!

"Get him!"

Midway through his approach, he suddenly heard Ono's icy command.

"Ono, no need! I can handle this myself!"

Assuming Ono meant that his injuries needed someone else to handle for him, Murashita smiled, gesturing diffidently towards Ono.

But what he saw was a murderous gleam in Ono's eyes!

What Ono meant by "get him" was for them to hit him!

"Ono, you... Ah! My face!"

Before Murashita could figure out the reason, Ono's previously summoned people were already upon them.

The trio was being battered relentlessly!

Screams echoed through the company, and as he watched Murashita, who had just painstakingly been patched up, getting beaten worse, Ono felt no regret.

He thought it was well-deserved!

Was this bastard out of his mind?

Ono didn't know what grievance Murashita had with Xu Fan, but he was well aware that he had barely managed to soothe the tiger, only to nearly have it provoked by this idiot!

Wasn't the fool worthy of a beating for doing something so stupid!

"That's enough, stop."

At this moment, Xu Fan called for a halt, and only then did Ono signal for them to stop.

After this round of beating, Murashita's face was swollen and bruised, and he began to cry.

He was so wronged, feeling utterly aggrieved.

This guy owed money to the company; why was he the one being beaten?

"Ono, why?"

Not believing his rough treatment, he looked at Ono, wanting to know the reason for the beating.

"Baka!"

Before Ono could answer, one of the henchmen who Ono had earlier slapped directly kicked over!

"Can you afford to provoke the president's godfather?"
