Chapter 1100: Chapter 1101 For the Country and Battle

“Something bad! Something bad!” As soon as the call connected, Matsumoto Koji’s voice broke out.

Song Xiaodong frowned slightly and said, “What’s the bad news? Speak clearly to me.”

Matsumoto Koji hurriedly said, “Kikkawa Kendo’s people are now looking for you to take revenge.”

“Oh? Kikkawa Kendo actually still has people wanting revenge on me?” Song Xiaodong’s tone was rather relaxed.

“Last time, although you severely injured Kikkawa Kendo, they still have two of their best fighters who didn’t come out. Today they showed up and came directly to me since they know I’m cooperating with you in Minghe. They specifically sought me out to inquire about you.”

“More experts, that’s going to be interesting.” Song Xiaodong actually looked quite excited at this moment, which is not surprising. With his current increase in strength, he’s been hoping for someone to spar with. Facing Su Zhentian and Dragon Nine, after all, wasn’t a fight to the death. If real experts came to test his skills, it would be perfect.

“Mr. Song, you mustn’t underestimate them. These two are not only famous in Kikkawa Kendo, but they’re also well-known Kendo Masters across Japan. Their strength should not be underestimated, and compared to other people in Kikkawa Kendo, they’re a whole level above.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Since they want revenge, it’s unavoidable. I don’t think I could escape even if I wanted to, so I’ll have to fight. Just tell them what they want to know.”

“This… Mr. Song, you can’t be so rash. If something happens to you, then I…”

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “Don’t worry, even if I can’t beat them, I believe I can escape without affecting your troubles.”

“This… Mr. Song.” Matsumoto Koji said awkwardly, “Please don’t blame me. Their status and influence are quite extraordinary in our country. Even our corporation’s president can’t afford to offend them. I had no choice but to pass the message.”

“No worries, I won’t blame you. Just focus on your tasks.”

“Thank you, Mr. Song.”

Song Xiaodong fully understood Matsumoto Koji’s concerns. Their collaboration had essentially been coerced by Song Xiaodong. To say Matsumoto Koji truly respected him was an overstatement.

After hanging up, Song Xiaodong said to Dragon Nine and the others, “The experts from Kikkawa Kendo are coming for revenge.”

Su Zhentian immediately perked up, saying, “How bold of them, let’s make sure they regret coming.”

Dragon Nine added, “Family Head, we shouldn’t be careless. If they’re daring enough to seek revenge, their strength must not be weak.”

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “I’m just planning to test them. Rest assured, this increase isn’t only for me, even Sun One has improved. The two of us are more than capable of handling this.”

Dragon Nine also laughed, “Indeed, with Family Head’s great increase in strength, what do two small Japanese matter? I’d also like to see the Family Head demonstrating his might, cutting down the Japanese.”

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and pulled out his phone to call Sun Yiyi.

“What, calling me so soon?” Sun Yiyi was clearly surprised.

“The people from Kikkawa Kendo are coming for revenge, and there are two Kendo Masters.” Song Xiaodong briefly explained.

Sun Yiyi, in a huffy voice, said, “Fine, let them come then. I was just thinking of using them for practice. I’ve been feeling pent up after my recent power-up, so they’re just perfect to let off some steam.”

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “You’re right, we should indeed vent on them.”

After finishing the call with Sun Yiyi, his phone rang again, this time it was Lu Lang calling.

Lu Lang immediately reproached, “Hey, you brat, now that you’re the Family Head, you’ve become all high and mighty, ignoring my calls?”

Song Xiaodong quickly replied, “I just came out of seclusion and found many missed calls. I haven’t had the chance to go through them.”

Lu Lang quickly asked, “Seclusion? So, you’re saying you’ve made further progress?”

“Yes, I’ve made some improvements,” Song Xiaodong admitted straightforwardly.

“Good, good. So, do you have confidence in the battle against Japan’s Kikkawa Kendo?”

Song Xiaodong wasn’t surprised at all. With the nation’s intelligence system, a move like Kikkawa Kendo directly contacting Matsumoto Koji wouldn’t be hidden from them. He said, “There should be about a 70% chance of victory.”

“Do you think we should make a big deal out of this?”

“Make it big?” Song Xiaodong asked, “Do you mean to bring this battle into the open and then establish national prestige?”

“Exactly, because the major families have been stuck in their ways, our country has been suppressed in this regard over the past few years. Chinese Martial Arts have become somewhat of a joke. I hope you can seize this opportunity to reframe the prestige of Chinese Martial Arts.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Since the state has this idea, there’s no reason to refuse. I’ll send a challenge to Kikkawa Kendo.”

Lu Lang said solemnly, “Good! But you can only win, not lose. If you lose, all your previous achievements will become meaningless.”

Song Xiaodong replied, “I understand. This battle, I can’t avoid it, and I must win.”

“Good! Then it’s settled.”

After hanging up, Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes. Lu Lang’s call didn’t pressure him. As he said himself, this battle has to be fought and won. If he lost, without Lu Lang saying anything, he would lose everything himself, perhaps even his life.

But if he wins, what Lu Lang is offering is like a bonus, practically added value. And since Lu Lang represents higher authorities, it would give him more recognition from above, paving a broader path for his future.

Returning to the main villa, and entering his room, Shui Qingyue, Sun Ziyun, and Lin Su’er were all lying on the bed waiting for him.

Looking at his wives, Song Xiaodong suddenly felt a bit guilty and said, “Really sorry to you all, I haven’t been home properly for a while.”

Shui Qingyue smiled slightly and said, “We are to be together for a lifetime, so a few days won’t matter. Besides, we understand you’re busy with important tasks.”

Sun Ziyun also chimed in, “Husband, you really shouldn’t feel burdened by this. We’ll always support you.”

Lin Su’er, not usually expressive, just smiled and looked at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, “Alright, I’m off to take a bath now. I’ll come back and attend to you properly later.”

All three women blushed, but their eyes showed anticipation. They had long moved past the phase of being shy about such matters, and they enjoyed the intimacy equally.
