Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 209 - 194: Declaration of the Way: Fanning the Flames and Fueling the Great Trend

"Changqi won’t be safe for a while. You two shouldn’t go out unless you absolutely have to, lest..."

Before Kondo Yasushi could finish speaking, his eyes shot wide.

FWOOM!!

Blue-White Demon Flame suddenly erupted in his study, instantly engulfing the entire room and trapping him and the two youths inside.

CLACK!!

A tall figure stepped right out of the Demon Flame, materializing before the three of them.

’This is...?!!’

The moment Kondo Kirihira and Kondo Ayaka saw the figure, their faces twisted in terror.

They had just seen him fight at the venue a short while ago. How could they possibly forget the face of a man who looked like a Demon God?

"It’s... it’s you?!!"

The young man and woman cried out in unison.

But Kondo Yasushi lived up to his reputation as a tycoon who had weathered many storms. His first instinct was to reach for the security panic button under his desk.

The next moment, however, the Demon Flame flared to life on his body. He was instantly struck by a bone-chilling cold, and his finger froze in place, hovering over the button, unable to move.

"Think carefully before you act. Press that button, and you all might die."

A calm voice drifted into his ears. Immediately after, Kondo Yasushi felt the chilling sensation fade away.

The Demon Flame withdrew.

But now, he was drenched in sweat. Even without Yi Beidou’s influence, he still didn’t dare to press the button.

He was no fool. Between the intelligence report he’d just received and his children’s reactions, he immediately deduced the identity of the man who had suddenly appeared.

’How did he get in here?’

’Security didn’t notice a thing?’

’Does he have superpowers? Invisibility? Teleportation?’

He may have commanded immense wealth, but in the face of such a being, he couldn’t even entertain the thought of resistance.

If he made one reckless move, he would die. Absolutely.

And the security team he’d paid a fortune to hire probably couldn’t even lay a scratch on him.

By the time the authorities arrived, even if they managed to kill Yi Beidou, what would that matter to a dead man?

"What would you have me do?"

Kondo Yasushi took a deep breath, trying to calm his frantically beating heart as he attempted to meet the man’s gaze.

But the instant their eyes met, he couldn’t stop himself from lowering his head, feeling as if his brain was about to explode.

’This thing is definitely not human!!’

’I have to do whatever he asks, or I’m dead for sure!!’

"I’m just a poor, homeless traveler. I saw you had a rather large house, so I came looking for some food. While I’m at it, I need you to help me with something."

Yi Beidou said calmly.

"May I ask what you need my help with? So long as you don’t harm us, I will do everything in my power."

Kondo Yasushi said, his voice heavy.

But he was wondering to himself, ’What kind of small favor would a being like this need to ask for?’

"Use your influence and channels to spread the video on here all over Japan’s internet as fast as possible."

Yi Beidou pulled a phone from his pocket and tossed it onto Kondo Yasushi’s desk.

He’d casually "borrowed" the phone from a local gang.

Kondo Yasushi’s mouth opened, but no words came out. The request wasn’t too difficult, but the contents of the video...

He tapped the phone’s screen and, finding it wasn’t password-protected, swiped it open. It went straight to a video player, with the thumbnail showing Yi Beidou himself.

He tapped play. In the video, Yi Beidou was saying something in the Donghua Language.

Since Kondo Yasushi was based in Changqi, he did a lot of business with Donghua. While his spoken Donghua Language wasn’t great, he had no problem understanding it.

Soon, his expression went slack with disbelief.

"Greetings, people of Japan. My name is Yi Beidou. I have long heard of the renown of Japan’s Martial Arts Dao, and I have crossed the sea specifically to learn from you. However, yesterday’s battle in Changqi left me deeply disappointed."

"Next, I will travel to Tokyo and establish a Dao Field. You can consider this a formal challenge. I am challenging your entire Martial Arts Realm. I hope the experts of your nation will gather in Tokyo. Whether it’s a fair duel or you all come at me one after another, I do not care. Just this time... please do not disappoint me again."
