“Mr. Chen Beixuan, Takemiya Sensai is the Sword Sage of our country. He is revered and venerated by everyone in j.a.pan. He also has the privilege to not bow to the emperor or the prime minister in the royal court. Please choose your words carefully.”

Erika was the messenger who sent the invitation. She scolded Chen Fan with a scowl.

She was wearing a white outfit and carried the infamous katana called “Moon Fang.” Her face was severe but attractive with well-defined lines that gave her a no-nonsense quality.

“Who are you to question me?”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and sent out a pulse of Divine Will. He didn’t hold back his power because Erika was a girl. Although Erika was a Transcendent level Kendo Master, her soul energy was weak compared to her internal force. Chen Fan’s Divine Will easily overwhelmed her and sent her staggering back a few steps, face pale as a piece of paper.

In that brief moment, Erika’s Divine Soul—however insignificant it was—was damaged by Chen Fan.

The rest of the envoy was shocked after seeing even Erika, the most powerful Kendo master could not withstand Chen Fan’s harmful glance. Ito Imi hurried to mollify Chen Fan.

“Mr. Chen Beixuan, you are the most powerful Overlord in China and a top member of the Dark Roll. Please forgive Erika’s impudence. Takemiya Hiro used to help Miss Erika in her career and, therefore, she holds him in high regard. It must be difficult for her, please understand.”

“He could be Takemiya Hiro or Take-me-a-hero, I don’t care. He is not in a position to challenge me. Who does he think I am?” Chen Beixuan grunted and then threw the invitation letter to the table. He sat down in an armchair with a great measure of levity.

Violet came up to him and ma.s.saged his neck while Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa was already working on peeling the grapes for Chen Fan. Chen Fan lolled in his chair, taking in all the joys and pleasures of being served by two drop-dead gorgeous ladies.

Chen Fan’s reaction didn’t sit well with Erika nor Ito Imi.

Takemiya Hiro was the most revered elder in the j.a.panese Martial arts community. Chen Fan’s arrogant reply to his official invitation was a blatant insult to j.a.pan.

“Mr. Chen Beixuan, you might not be aware of what this fight means.” A stately looking man wearing a suit came up to him and said with a bow.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and looked around at the man, realizing that he was just an ordinary j.a.panese man.

However, the fact that he was surrounded by many powerful Grandmasters and seemed pretty comfortable with himself told Chen Fan that he was a high-level bureaucrat. Even Erika stopped talking as soon as the middle-aged man started speaking.

“Master, he is the head of the Mitsui Group, their chief executive Mitsui Yuto. ” Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s face paled as soon as she saw the man. She came closer to Chen Fan and whispered in his ear.

Chen Fan was unfazed by the new information, but he was curious nonetheless.

Mitsui Group was the largest Financial Group in j.a.pan. It was a conglomeration of twenty-five large firms. It was worth over trillions of US dollars. The leaders of the Mitsui Group wielded nearly the same amount of power as the prime minister of j.a.pan.

Under its corporate umbrella, there were famous brands such as Tos.h.i.+ba, Sony, Toyota, Sanyo, NEC, The Sakura Bank, Mitsui & Co., Oji Paper Company, Mitsukos.h.i.+ and Toray Industries, just to name a few.

Mitsui Group was a cross industry giant, it was in heavy machinery, Electronics, Semiconductors, Real Estate, Nuclear Energy, Medical Equipments and many other areas. It held the entire j.a.panese economy firmly in its grasp.

So powerful was the Mitsui Group that even the Samsung group of Korea simply couldn’t compare.

“Mr. Chen Beixuan, the Mitsui Group, along with Sumitomo, Mitsubis.h.i.+, and Fuji had opened a joined foundation with ten billion US dollar worth of a.s.sets as the prize for the winner. I hope you may find it more compelling to join the match.” Mitsui Yuto bowed and said.

“Ten billion?”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself.

Ten billion US dollars was over seventy billion Chinese Yuan back in 2009. That was a much larger pool of wealth than the ten billion Chinese Yuan owned by the Zheng family. The Zheng family claimed to have owned over a hundred billion Chinese yuan, but there was much water in that figure. They owned at the most half that much.

Only the owners of j.a.panese International megacorp could have offered such a large sum readily.

“Fine, I agree to the terms.” Chen Fan nodded.

“Three days later, at the highest spot in Tokyo, we will wait for your arrival.”Mitsui Yuto bowed again and then left the room with his cohort in tow.
