Chapter 48: The Bold Challenge
During the meeting, Erica and her father unexpectedly arrived, causing John and Alice to feel irritated by their presence. However, they had to maintain their composure because Fuji had assured them that he would handle the situation.
Erica inquired about the new bodyguard, addressing John as "uncle."
John: "Oh, his name is Gun Park."
Laurence, Erica's father, pondered why only one bodyguard was assigned for his security.
Laurence: "Mr. Shikimori, why only one bodyguard?"
With a sly grin, John responded that Gun could handle any situation and even suggested a test.
John: "He might be the one. If you wish, you can test him."
Laurence was taken aback by John's audacious statement.
Laurence: "Alright, if you say so, let's have a one-versus-thirty match."
John smirked, and Alice was astonished by this proposition.
Alice: "Uncle John, you can't do that!"
Throughout the conversation, Fuji remained on a call, listening to everything.
John: "Gun, did you hear that?"
Everyone was shocked, and Fuji couldn't help but grin.
Fuji (Gun Park): "Don't worry, Mr. Shikimori. Just let me know where they are."
Laurence, though surprised by Fuji's bold statement, was confident in his bodyguards and instructed Fuji.
Laurence: "Gun, or whatever your name is, focus on what's in front of you."
Fuji, still grinning, replied:
Fuji (Gun Park): "Call an ambulance for the thirty people and ensure their guns are fully loaded."
The entire room was stunned by Fuji's fearless words.
Fuji: "Mr. Shikimori, please switch on the conference TV and enjoy the show."
Then, John quickly turned on the TV and witnessed the sight of five armed individuals rushing toward Fuji. Alice was visibly worried and tense about Fuji's safety, but John remained confident in his son.
To everyone's astonishment, Fuji demonstrated something seemingly impossible. He utilized Aikido techniques with incredible precision, effortlessly throwing all five individuals simultaneously. The room was filled with gasps and wide-eyed amazement at Fuji's remarkable feat.
John, wearing a smirk of pride, couldn't resist introducing his son with a touch of humor.
John: "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce my bodyguard, Gun Park."
In the daring 1 vs. 30 challenge, Fuji faced off against Lawrence's well-trained bodyguards. As the tension in the room escalated, Fuji prepared to showcase his martial arts prowess.
Fuji calmly assessed the situation, and then, with lightning speed and precision, he unleashed a breathtaking display of martial arts techniques.
Fuji: "Let's do this."
His movements were a seamless blend of various disciplines, and he used every ounce of his training to counter the onslaught of Lawrence's formidable security team.
The room was filled with gasps, applause, and exclamations of amazement as Fuji expertly deflected attacks, executed flawless strikes, and effortlessly incapacitated the bodyguards one by one.
Onlooker 1: "Did you see that?"
Onlooker 2: "He's like a ninja!"
It was a mesmerizing spectacle that left everyone in awe of Fuji's incredible skills.
John, watching his son's performance with immense pride, couldn't help but comment to Lawrence with a smirk.
John (whispering): "Quite impressive, isn't he? Our new addition is quite skilled."
Fuji's incredible display of martial prowess left 29 guards incapacitated, but one guard, fear evident in his eyes, couldn't help but speak up.
Guard: "What are you?"
Fuji, wearing a devilish grin, responded with an air of menace.
Fuji: "Your worst nightmare."
The guard, unwilling to concede defeat, defiantly muttered, "Don't think this is over," before producing a mysterious drug and injecting it into himself. Fuji's expression turned to shock as he realized it was the same drug that Izumi had warned him about.
Alice, acting swiftly, grabbed the microphone and urgently addressed Fuji.
Alice: "Gun, get out of there!"
However, before Fuji could react, the guard delivered a devastating punch, causing him to crash and sustain five broken bones as he was sent flying into Alice's car. John and Alice were both shocked and deeply concerned for Fuji, while Lawrence couldn't hide his smug satisfaction.
Despite his injuries, Fuji summoned his resolve, spat blood onto the ground, and assumed a fighting stance.
In a stunning turn of events, Fuji, though battered and covered in blood, mustered the strength to rise to his feet. With a fierce determination, he tore his shirt apart, revealing a torso adorned with scars and a chiseled eight-pack abdomen.
Onlooker 1 (whispering): "Is that even possible?"
Onlooker 2 (in awe): "Look at those scars. He's been through something."
The room fell into an eerie silence as all eyes fixated on Fuji. What was even more shocking was the transformation in his eyes. They had turned a dark, almost otherworldly shade of blue, giving him an uncanny and formidable appearance. It was clear to John and Alice that Fuji had tapped into his Fighting Domain technique.
John (in disbelief): "Is that... the Fighting Domain?"
Alice (amazed): "He's tapped into it. He's on a whole different level."
As the drugged monster lunged forward with a powerful punch, Fuji intercepted it with a single hand. He held the monstrous adversary at bay, his face etched with a confident grin.
Fuji (with an eerie calmness): "You underestimated me."
Smoke billowed from Fuji's mouth as he delivered a devastating punch to the drugged monster. With a menacing, otherworldly laugh, he proclaimed his newfound power to the room. Then, with incredible force, he delivered another powerful blow to the monster.
Fuji (with an eerie, echoed voice): "Throughout heaven and hell, I am the only one honored with strength."
By Fuji's side, Alice couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She remembered the legends surrounding the Legendary Demon and wondered if Fuji might transform into that formidable entity once again. John, noticing her concern, placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and spoke with a calm tone.
John: "Don't worry, Alice. He's in control. He knows what he's doing."
As the battle raged on, the room watched in astonishment as the drugged monster was overpowered by Fuji's incredible strength within his Fighting Domain. With a mighty effort, Fuji executed a powerful suplex that caused a tremendous impact, resulting in a massive crack in the ground.
The room fell into a stunned silence as the drugged monster lay defeated, incapacitated by Fuji's devastating maneuver.
Onlooker 1 (in awe): "Did you see that?"
Onlooker 2 (impressed): "I've never witnessed anything like this."
With a sense of triumph and relief, John couldn't help but express his admiration.
John (with immense pride): "That's impressive."
The room remained in awe of Fuji's incredible strength and mastery of his Fighting Domain, without exposing his true identity.
