Chapter 578: Chapter 578: A Life-and-Death Struggle_1 Chapter 578: Chapter 578: A Life-and-Death Struggle_1 Only a few minutes away from the Oda Family, Suzuki Haruo received a phone call from a brother in the organization and heard about the incident at the headquarters.
For a moment, his heart skipped a beat, sensing that something terrible was afoot.
The ability to severely injure Sato with just one move indicated that the newcomer’s strength was unfathomable, and this person had come with the Young Master of the Hongmen.
His mind immediately recalled the soaring rainbow light from the Hongmen not long ago; could it be that the person was the newly promoted Divine Ninja?
Without a second thought, a thunderous boom resounded in his mind, causing panic.

He hurriedly instructed, “Drive even faster.”
Hao Hong immediately exerted three times more strength on the accelerator, and with the gas pedal pressed further, the car’s speed soared, reaching the destination in just six or seven minutes.
Not until the car entered the Oda clan’s manor did Suzuki Haruo finally exhale deeply, his heart gradually calming down.
“Stepfather.”
After getting out of the car, Suzuki Haruo called out loudly.
If outsiders knew that Oda Hironobu was only a few years older than Suzuki Haruo, they would not be able to help but despise Suzuki Haruo’s shamelessness in their hearts.
Soon, Oda Hironobu, Oda Houmei, and Xu Qiyin appeared.
“Stepfather, please take a look at Miss Xu Yue.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Okamoto roughly grabbed Xu Yue’s slender arm and pulled her out of the car with force.Oda Hironobu’s eyes showed a look of approval, immediately bringing a smile of delight to Suzuki Haruo’s face, his heart stirring with excitement.
“Sister, how come you left home without saying a word?
What a pity, it took me less than a day to find you,” Xu Qi said eagerly as he approached, circling around her with his arms crossed and chuckling.
Xu Yue ignored his sarcastic tone, not even giving him a glance.
“Ha!
With that bad temper of yours, you’ll meet your ruin sooner or later.
As your brother, I still have to advise you.
Once you marry into the Qin Family, you better rein in that temper of yours.
In the Qin Family, no one will pamper you, and if you suffer, you’ll have to endure it all alone, understand?” Xu Qi said with the tone of an adult lecturing a child, quite pleased with himself.
“Hmph, whether I marry or not depends on my mood.
Better mind your own business,” she retorted.
“At this point, can’t you see the reality?
Do you think you’re the one in charge here?” Xu Qi scoffed.
Then, he turned his head to Oda Hironobu and bowed, “Uncle, I express the gratitude of the entire Xu Family for your assistance.
If there’s ever a need in Yan Country, please do not hesitate to command us.”
“Fine, fine,” Oda Hironobu said, waving his hand dismissively.
“By the way, stepfather, there’s something I’m afraid I need to tell you,” Suzuki Haruo leaned in to speak about the recent challenge at the headquarters.
“An unknown person from Yan Country?” Oda Hironobu frowned.
“Yes, that person seemed not to know his way around, and couldn’t understand Island Country language, so he brought Wang Xiaolong from the Hongmen with him.
The man showed no mercy, blasting the headquarters’ door to smithereens upon arrival and severely injuring Sato, who is now nothing but a cripple,” Suzuki Haruo said gravely.
“Enough, rest assured,” Oda Hironobu said, waving his hand and offering a casual word of comfort.
The Sumiyoshi-kai is the Sumiyoshi-kai, and the Oda Family is the Oda Family.
If that person dared to invade Sumiyoshi-kai, he wouldn’t dare to trespass into the Oda Family.
Otherwise, it would be suicide.
“Uncle, Brother Chihide, I won’t impose any longer.
My father is still waiting for me to take my sister home; otherwise, he won’t rest easy,” Xu Qi announced his departure.
“If that’s the case, then we won’t keep Young Master Xu.
Chihide, book the earliest flight back to Yanjing for Young Master Xu,” Oda Hironobu said.
“Certainly,” Oda Chihide promptly searched on his phone and quickly added, “There’s a flight at nine o’clock tonight; I’ve booked it for you.
There’s plenty of time, so why doesn’t Young Master have a quick meal at our place?
Then I will personally take you to the airport.”
“Thank you very much,” Xu Qi replied.
Xu Qiyin nodded his head, sharing the same thought as the other party, to see if they could represent the Xu Family in reaching a further collaboration with the Oda Family during the banquet.
Only a fool would refuse a win-win situation.
As Wang Xiaolong was driving, he cautioned Xu Fan, “Big Brother Xu, we shouldn’t underestimate the Oda clan.
Not only do they have tremendous influence, they even have connections in the political and military spheres, and they have Heavenly Ninjas guarding their home.
We must handle this carefully.”
“Xiao Long, rest assured and be at ease,” Xu Fan replied indifferently with his eyes closed, conserving his energy.
Wang Xiaolong felt reassured and didn’t say anything more, driving steadily.
Soon, the two of them stopped the car outside the Oda Family’s estate.
Xu Fan’s Divine Sense, however, had already enveloped the entire estate a step ahead, instantly locating Xu Yue.
She was safe and unharmed—which was a relief and thus, his intention to kill subsided somewhat.
“Xiao Long, you wait here.
I’ll go in alone.”
After stepping out of the car, Xu Fan’s figure flashed, and the next second, he appeared at the entrance twenty or so meters away.
“Eh, when did this person get here?”
The guards at the entrance were startled and immediately stretched out their hand to stop him, barking, “Who are you?
This is the Oda house, do you know that?”
Xu Fan let out a cold snort and with two smacks, he flung the two men away with slaps.
Landing on the ground, they promptly fell unconscious.
To him, the Oda Family was no different from the Sumiyoshi-kai; he would just barge in by force.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolong couldn’t help but open his mouth wide in astonishment—big enough to fit a large egg—then he chuckled twice, got out of the car and couldn’t resist following in through the gate.
“Whoosh!”
Oda Houmei shot out of the villa like an arrow, coming to a halt before staring at Xu Fan with a darkened face and asking, “Who are you?
Are you trying to break into the Oda house by force?”
His voice was so cold it lacked any hint of warmth, and his eyes were brimming with undisguised murderous intent.
At least in his heart, Xu Fan had already been sentenced to death for showing such disregard for the Oda house.
Now, he intended to make sure Xu Fan would stay forever.
The commotion at the entrance had already alerted the various guards patrolling the estate, all converging towards this direction fully armed, surrounding Xu Fan with no gaps to escape.
Once the order was given, they would all fire at once, intent on turning the enemy into a sieve—otherwise, they’d be worthless.
Xu Fan didn’t understand what the other party was saying, and he couldn’t be bothered to respond in Yan Country’s language.
He just let out a “heh heh” laugh, showing undisguised contempt on his face.
“I understand now.
You must be the Yan Country expert who forced his way into the Sumiyoshi-kai.
Too bad, you’ve messed with the wrong person.
You even crippled my disciple Sato Fujirou.
You deserve to die!”
Oda Houmei glared at Xu Fan, unleashing his aura, sweeping towards him.
“I don’t care what you’re saying, get out of my way.
Otherwise, die!” Xu Fan said coldly.
“Damn it, die.”
Oda Houmei didn’t understand the Yan Country language, but from Xu Fan’s tone and demeanor, he could tell that the man was belittling and driving him away.
He immediately stood straight, his form gradually stretching out, and in the blink of an eye, he grew about ten centimeters taller, stretching his shirt until it burst, revealing his knotted muscles for a visually striking impact.
In this moment, Oda Houmei’s aura peaked, and invisibly, a whirlwind formed around his body, drawing in nearby fallen leaves and dust, whistling on its own.
Through the whirlwind, Oda Houmei’s gaze was filled with surging killing intent, firmly locked onto Xu Fan.
Watching from behind, Wang Xiaolong was shocked by this scene.
Was this thin old man some sort of monster?
He had grown so much taller in an instant.
Yet Xu Fan remained utterly calm, showing no sign of being perturbed, as if he simply didn’t take Oda Houmei seriously.
And indeed, in his view, not even one of the Qiankun Twin Swords had half the strength of Oda Houmei.
Xu Fan, at the Grandmaster Realm, had already killed the Qiankun Twin Swords who fought together.
Now, having broken through two major Realms, it wasn’t just Heavenly Ninja experts he disregarded—even Divine Ninja experts were insignificant in his eyes.
With a mere gesture, he could annihilate an existence like Oda Houmei.
