"Her?"
"Xu Fan, do you think she has the right to be here?"
Honda Ryuichi's eyes were full of sarcasm and indifference, devoid of any emotion.
Honda Tsubasa saw this and couldn't help but tremble.
The word "father" dissipated in the cold breeze from her lips.
"What... what do you mean?"
Her eyes filled with tears, she blankly asked Honda Ryuichi a question.
"What do I mean?"
Not in the least recognizing the person standing before him as his daughter, Honda Ryuichi snorted coldly and said, "Honda Tsubasa, you are nothing but an abandoned pawn of the Honda family!"
"Now, you have been expelled from the Honda family; you don't belong to any family. Tell me, what right do you have to compete?"
"You!"
Honda Ryuichi's words completely shattered the last bit of longing in Honda Tsubasa's heart.
Before coming here, she still harbored the illusion that her conflict with the Honda family was just a misunderstanding.
This time, meeting her father again, perhaps they could reconcile and make up.
But in the end, it was all just a fantasy in her heart...
Her father was now so consumed by power that he was beyond return.
In his heart, she was not a daughter but merely a pawn.
"Remember, such a person isn't worth your sadness."
Suddenly, she heard Xu Fan's voice come to her ears.
Honda Tsubasa sobbing, turned to look over.
Seeing the smile on Xu Fan's lips, her mood improved a little.
She felt fortunate to have Xu Fan by her side at this time.
"Xu Fan, I..."
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Xu Fan helplessly.
Honestly, she didn't know how to counter what Honda Ryuichi had said earlier.
She no longer belonged to the martial arts families, so did she still have the right to participate in this competition?
"Alright, don't think too much."
"I'll handle what comes next."
Xu Fan smiled, comforted Honda Tsubasa, and then looked over at Honda Ryuichi.
He had anticipated this scene before coming.
He squinted his eyes and confronted Honda Ryuichi, saying, "Honda Ryuichi, who said that Honda Tsubasa has to compete on behalf of the Honda family?"
"Haven't you ever heard of establishing one's own family?"
"What? Establishing one's own family?"
Xu Fan's explanation left Honda Ryuichi dumbfounded.
He hadn't thought of Xu Fan's point.
But quickly, Honda Ryuichi burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Xu Fan, you really are something, establishing her own family?"
"Then tell me, does her Honda exist with anyone else besides her?"
Beside Xu Fan at that time, apart from Honda Tsubasa, was Miyamoto Kuro.
One must know that Miyamoto Kuro belonged to the Miyamoto Itto-ryu.
He truly didn't believe that Xu Fan could gather the necessary strength for Honda Tsubasa to form a family in such a short time.
The premise of participating in the martial arts competition was to belong to a martial arts family.
A one-person martial arts family, what a joke!
"Who told you that Miss Honda's family is just her alone?"
Before Xu Fan could speak, Igarashi, who had been silent all along, stepped forward.
Speaking fluent Dongying dialect, he left Honda Ryuichi stunned.
"You... who are you?"
"I'm me, what does it have to do with you?"
"All you need to know is that I am Miss Honda's subordinate."
These past few days, Igarashi had been assisting Xu Fan in teaching Honda Tsubasa, and he had no dislike for her.
Standing out as Honda Tsubasa's minion at this time, he didn't mind at all.
Looking at Honda Ryuichi, he said, "By the way, Miss Honda's family doesn't consist of just one person; there are quite a few people waiting outside. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look."
Igarashi was naturally referring to Song Xiaozhu and his group.
Song Xiaozhu and the Seven Kills Tower group, their strength surpassed that of the martial arts family disciples present.
It would not be an exaggeration to call them family disciples.
"Family Head..."
At this moment, one of Honda Ryuichi's subordinates whispered a few words into his ear.
As Honda Ryuichi listened, his expression changed immediately.
Obviously, what his subordinate whispered was likely about Song Xiaozhu and his group.
With the Seven Kills Tower now under Xu Fan's control, even belonging to his daughter's side, this news was anything but good for Honda Ryuichi.
"Xu, you've really done it!"
Just the Seven Kills Tower group alone was enough to draw the attention of major martial arts families in Dongying.
One must know that the people from Seven Kills Tower specialize in assassination.
If one doesn't address them now, having them as hidden enemies later would be bad.
This time, with Honda Tsubasa participating, it's likely that other families won't refuse.
The look Honda Ryuichi gave Xu Fan could almost shoot out flames.
This martial arts competition is about determining who calls the shots in the Dongying martial arts world in the future.
For this, he had made a lot of preparations.
And now, Xu Fan suddenly steps in, how could he be happy?
If he weren't wary of Xu Fan's strength, he would have already fought him by now.
"Family Head."
As he stared at Xu Fan, someone called out to Honda Ryuichi from the side.
Seeing Honda Ryuichi look over, the person leaned in to whisper.
Whatever was said, Honda Ryuichi began to laugh uncontrollably.
"Alright, I got it."
He patted the person's shoulder with satisfaction and let him step back for the time being.
Then, he looked back at Xu Fan and Honda Tsubasa.
"Alright, Xu Fan, establishing one's own family, is it?"
"Then, on the first day of this newly established family, when the head dies, it should be quite entertaining."
"Let's go!"
Leaving these words, Honda Ryuichi stopped engaging with Xu Fan. With a wave of his hand, he led his people and walked away.
"This jerk is absolutely heartless."
Honda Ryuichi's earlier words had fully exposed his intentions.
Clearly, he planned to kill Honda Tsubasa on the stage later.
One should know, that is his biological daughter.
This guy will stop at nothing for power.
Miyamoto Kuro, watching Honda Ryuichi's back, couldn't help but curse.
"Enough, say less."
From the first meeting with Honda Ryuichi, Xu Fan had a bad impression of him.
What he's doing now was within Xu Fan's expectations.
Now the only worry is that this matter will trouble Honda Tsubasa.
Xu Fan took a deep breath, took Honda Tsubasa by the hand, and walked off to the side...
