"Everyone, do not be so tense. I can see this distinguished guest carries himself with an imposing aura, a hint of extraordinary power emanating from him. He is definitely not our enemy—"
Mitsui Kenji spoke at a measured pace. By the time he finished his sentence, he had already brought his men to Chen Fan's front.
He was well aware of Sato Machi's strength, and from Sato Machi's complete defeat, he knew Chen Fan was not to be trifled with. Hence, his current deference.
His gaze shifted to Chen Fan, a forced smile playing on Mitsui Kenji's lips.
He was inquiring, but also probing for information.
"This mysterious distinguished guest, I believe I am correct, am I not? You are not an enemy of Mitsui Kenji, are you?"
In response to Mitsui Kenji's question, Chen Fan merely let out a cold laugh and said, "There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. If you consider me an enemy, then I am your enemy. If you consider me a friend, then I am your friend."
Chen Fan deliberately spoke ambiguously, turning Mitsui Kenji's question back on him.
Chen Fan then asked with a cold smirk, "So now, do you consider me your enemy, or your friend?"
Mitsui Kenji truly had not expected Chen Fan to answer that way.
He touched his chin and said with a cold laugh, "Haha, I, Mitsui Kenji, have always liked making friends. I consider you my friend."
"Because, I have already killed all my enemies!"
Mitsui Kenji's words were filled with a powerful assertion!
However, Chen Fan also let out a cold laugh.
The next moment, with just one sentence, he almost made Mitsui Kenji spit blood from anger!
Chen Fan said, "Your headquarters was blown up by me."
That single sentence sent a dizzying pain through Mitsui Kenji's head!
Mitsui Kenji longed to kill Chen Fan, but then he thought, was that really true just because he said so?
He himself claimed to be Mitsui Kenji, was that true either?
"My friend, such jokes are not to be made. After all, I am quite certain that we have never met before, and we should have no conflict between us. You have no reason to have done something like that."
"My friend, at the very least, you must provide some evidence."
As he had not yet ascertained Chen Fan's background, Mitsui Kenji was still partly believing and partly doubting Chen Fan's words. He opened his mouth with a cold laugh.
"Evidence?" Upon hearing Mitsui Kenji's words, Chen Fan immediately gave a cold laugh.
Then, before everyone's eyes, he performed a shocking action!
*Slap!*
He swung his arm in a wide arc, and before anyone could react, he swiftly struck out, landing a slap on Mitsui Kenji's face!
Mitsui Kenji was stunned. The powerful slap sent him spinning several times on the spot!
"I... You! How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am? I am Mitsui Kenji! Do you know what a huge trouble you have gotten yourself into!"
His head ringing, Mitsui Kenji swayed unsteadily, his eyes filled with boundless anger and disbelief. He pointed at Chen Fan's nose and interrogated him hysterically.
Meanwhile, the others were all shocked by Chen Fan's actions.
"Baka! How dare you hit President Mitsui, I'll kill you!"
"Sou sou sou! You dare to court death! Brat, you're dead today!"
"..."
In an instant, the dozen or so people who had stepped forward to protect Mitsui Kenji were completely enraged by Chen Fan's action. They shouted loudly, brandishing their weapons and charging towards Chen Fan!
"You are dead!"
Mitsui Kenji's eyes were bloodshot with anger.
In the current Sakura Country, everything was already within his grasp. He was Mitsui Kenji, the one above thousands on this land!
Having been slapped like this, where was his dignity?
Death!
This arrogant fellow before him must die!
However, Mitsui Kenji's finger, still pointing at Chen Fan's nose, had not yet retracted.
So, before the dozen people reached him, Chen Fan reached out and grabbed Mitsui Kenji's finger.
Then, he applied a slight force to his wrist!
*Crack!*
Accompanied by a crisp sound of bone breaking, Mitsui Kenji let out a pig-like scream.
"Baka! My finger! Ah! It hurts so much!"
At the same time, upon seeing Mitsui Kenji's finger break, the dozen people charging towards them became even more furious!
"Kill you!"
"How dare you injure Mr. Mitsui so severely, I'll kill you..."
"..."
They shouted threats, wielding their gleaming samurai swords!
Chen Fan made just one move, and the voices of these dozen people immediately fell silent.
And their movements also came to an abrupt halt.
Because Chen Fan had already reached out and gripped Mitsui Kenji's neck, and said, "Do you want to see how his neck is twisted?"
If they rushed forward but were unable to protect Mitsui Kenji, wouldn't that be a wasted effort?
"Hey! We of the Mitsui Zaibatsu are all reasonable people. You can tell us if you have any problems. There's really no need for things to come to this."
When everyone was at a loss, Saito proactively dropped the samurai sword in his hand and spoke to Chen Fan in a submissive tone.
"Commander Saito is absolutely right. As long as you release our president first, everything can be discussed."
"That's right, that's right. Tell us what problems you have. As long as you don't harm our president, we at the Mitsui Zaibatsu can satisfy you..."
"..."
These dozen people had lived and trained together for so long.
Although they did not belong to the same faction, they shared a good understanding.
So, upon seeing Saito's action, they immediately understood and also put down their weapons, adopting a submissive demeanor.
"Haha! Do you think I came here for that? To gain benefits?"
Chen Fan was far smarter than this group of people and understood that this was a delaying tactic, a mix of threats and enticement. He burst into laughter.
"Then... cough cough! If you're not here for anything, then why go to such lengths and take such risks these past few days, even going so far as to blow up our headquarters? What exactly are you here for?"
Seeing Chen Fan's demeanor, even Mitsui Kenji, whose neck was being held, could not suppress his doubt and asked with difficulty.
"What am I here for? Do you really want to know?" Facing Mitsui Kenji's inquiry, Chen Fan sneered and said, "The people of Sakura Country have suffered under you for a long time. I did this for just four words."
"Four words? What four words are you doing this for?"
