"Xu Fan, maybe you should run first..."

The gunshot that just echoed from the horizon had already frightened Asao Mai to tears.

She knew very well that the bomb she was holding was going to explode before long, but what she worried about more was Xu Fan.

She didn't want Xu Fan to lose his life because of her.

She already owed him too much, and this time, Asao Mai didn't want to drag Xu Fan down with her!

"Silly girl..."

At that moment, Asao Mai wasn't thinking about herself, but about Xu Fan, and this thought was already enough to make Xu Fan stay with her until the end.

He walked over to Asao Mai, crouched down, and gently caressed her hair.

"Don't be afraid, since I could save you once, I can save you a second time."

Bang!

Just as Xu Fan made that promise, suddenly, another gunshot rang out from the horizon.

Asao Mai listened, her face turning pale with fright!

It took her a while to react...

"This..."

Once she came back to her senses, she realized that after the gunshot, she was completely unharmed.

Not only was she unharmed, but Xu Fan was also unscathed.

"This... how did this happen?"

The other party obviously fired a shot, could it have missed?

"Right, behind you, it's not just me, but also your sister Tsubasa."

Xu Fan explained to Asao Mai with a smile on his face.

The gunshot earlier was clearly fired by Honda Tsubasa.

As for the person who fell, it should've been the assassin sent by the Ikeda family.

Although those assassins weren't enough to threaten Xu Fan's life, their presence would always distract him.

When the time came, it would be difficult to handle the bomb in his hands.

Now with Honda Tsubasa's cover, he would be much more at ease.

With full concentration to deal with this bomb, he believed Asao Mai would definitely be safe!

"Don't be afraid, I'm going to start defusing the bomb now."

"Remember, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, understand?"

Although the structure of the bomb in Asao Mai's hands was still unknown, Xu Fan was only worried that Asao Mai would detonate it due to her nervousness, so he seriously reminded her before defusing the bomb.

"Yeah, don't worry, I... I won't get nervous."

With Xu Fan tying his fate to hers, Asao Mai couldn't let down his sacrifice.

She knew that if the bomb exploded because of her, she wouldn't be the only one to die.

"Phew..."

After comforting Asao Mai, Xu Fan took a deep breath and prepared to defuse the bomb.

He carefully removed the bunch of red roses from Asao Mai's hands one by one.

Behind him, gunshots occasionally rang out, but this did not distract him in the slightest.

He knew very clearly that with Honda Tsubasa standing behind him, he wouldn't be distracted by those small fries.

Soon, after pulling out the rose in the center of the bunch, Xu Fan saw the bomb hidden within the roses.

"How could it be this..."

Seemingly startled by the bomb in front of him, Xu Fan's face looked a bit strange.

Asao Mai saw this and couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.

"Xu Fan, is this one difficult to deal with? Maybe..."

Asao Mai maintained her previous stance.

If Xu Fan could save her, that would be the best outcome.

But if he couldn't, she wouldn't drag him down!

Though she was hesitant at Tokyo Tower, at this moment, her resolve was unwavering!

Honda Tsubasa's Xu Fan was not just because she saw him through rose-colored glasses.

Xu Fan was, indeed, such a person...

Ring ring ring!

Before Xu Fan could respond, suddenly, a phone rang in his pocket.

Xu Fan glanced at the countdown on the bomb, hesitated for a moment, then answered the unfamiliar call.

"Heh, Ikeda Family Head, you've truly prepared a good gift for me."

Without asking, Xu Fan immediately recognized the voice of the Ikeda Family Head.

The Ikeda Family Head on the other end was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted.

Even before this plan began, he was prepared for being recognized by Xu Fan.

"Heh, you're not bad, Xu Fan."

His tone was sinister as he replied to Xu Fan.

He thought this operation would be seamless, showing Xu Fan the consequences of crossing him.

But who would've thought, this guy managed to hold out with those two women up to now?

Especially that Honda Tsubasa!

That traitor from the Honda family! Because of her, not only did his people fail to deal with Xu Fan, they all fell at her hands!

"But I'm sorry, Xu Fan, even with that woman's help, this bomb is one you cannot defuse!"

This was a death trap meticulously set up by him, and he had considered all the possibilities along the way!

Even if Xu Fan could try to defuse the bomb, he would never succeed!

"Heh, Xu Fan, if the time left for you is only three minutes."

"I admit, you're quite talented, but if you think you can defuse this bomb in three minutes, I assure you, you're dreaming!"

This type of bomb is not a homemade one widely circulating in the underground black market today!

This bomb was something the Ikeda Family Head specifically bought from the black market years ago.

"Heh, Xu Fan, I wonder if you've heard of Lucius."

Thinking about the origin of the bomb, the Ikeda Family Head couldn't help but sound a bit boastful.

The so-called Lucius is no famous figure in the Martial Arts World.

But his name is widely known in the Underground World.

No other reason but this guy has a title that makes the entire Underground World tremble with fear.

The Arsonist.

The bombs he developed were incredibly covert but equally terrifying in power!

This guy, with no combat skills to speak of, used his developed bombs to take lives repeatedly, gradually making the name of the Arsonist known.

No matter who it was, they had to admit, once the Arsonist's bomb was activated, there was only one option.

Run as far as you can!

No one could defuse the Arsonist's bomb!

"Heh heh heh, Xu Fan, this bloody rose, I believe it will bloom for you a flower you'll never forget for the rest of your life..."

This bloody rose was indeed a masterpiece from the Arsonist!

Even being one of the most outstanding works after the Arsonist vanished from the Underground World!

Needless to mention his Ikeda family, even the entire Dongying might not find another one of its kind!

This is the gift the Ikeda family has for Xu Fan!
