Chapter 223 The Last Hope

Out of options, a desperate Ryan grabbed Daniel by the arm and pleaded, "Daniel, you're our lasthope! The thousands of clubs and hundreds of thousands of members of Martial Club United can'tbecome Woods's personal playthings!"

"Alright," Daniel stood up, ready to step in.

Just then, a convoy of vehicles drove into the venue, all rugged off-road types. Land Cruisers andNissan Patrols – a fleet of sturdy Nissan vehicles.

The doors swung open, and out stepped a group dressed in samurai attire – members of the newlyestablished Sato club, led by none other than their owner, Takashi Sato.

Takashi Sato, a prodigious talent from Japan, hadn't hit thirty yet but was already among Japan'stop ten martial artists. His father, Haruki Sato, was even more eminent, holding the title of GrandPresident of Martial United in Japan and recognized as the country's most formidable martial artist.

After the humiliation that Kazuki Watanabe suffered in New York, which brought shame upon theentire Martial United of Japan, Takashi Sato had opened a club in New York. His mission was towash away the disgrace that had befallen Watanabe.

Ryan was aware of Takashi Sato. He knew a new Sato club had opened in New York, and he wascertain this Japanese man was up to no good.

Staring Takashi Sato down, Ryan asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't today the election day for the president of Martial Club United? Whoever wins in the ringbecomes the president. So, I'm here to defeat all members of Martial Club United and claim thepresidency for myself," Takashi Sato declared with arrogance – an arrogance he could afford withhis skills and reputation in Japan.

Becoming the president of a small Martial Club United was a simple task for someone ranked withinJapan's top ten.

Takashi Sato stepped onto the ring, giving Woods a glance before asking with disdain, "Are youWoods? The one ranked seventh in the 72 stages of the M-country rankings?"

"Yes, I am! And what about you, Japanese man? Leaving your country to come here in this ring, areyou courting death?" Woods may not have been the best example of virtue, but he was still a patriotat heart!

When facing a Japanese challenger, he, like all M-country citizens, harbored deep animosity. Thedisgrace of Pearl Harbor had not been forgotten.

"Death? You're the one who's going to die!" Takashi Sato goaded, signaling Woods to come at himwith a cocky flick of his finger.

"Come on then, M-country's trash, M-country's sick cats! Let me have a good look at your patheticmartial arts!"

While Takashi Sato taunted, the members of Sato club swiftly dispersed around the ring, pulling outtheir phones and even some video cameras to live-stream the event.

One of the vehicles the Japanese had brought along was a small mobile broadcast van – theyplanned to stream the fight live online for the entire world to see. They wanted all of Japan and theentire globe to witness Takashi Sato defeating the M-country's martial artists, to watch as theJapanese humiliated the M-country.

Of course, they also intended to show everyone that Takashi Sato, after conquering the ring today,would defeat all the M-country fighters and become the president of Martial Club United.

"Seeking death!" Woods, enraged, lunged with his sharp claws at Takashi Sato.

But just as he was about to strike, the Japanese man swiftly sidestepped, avoiding the attack withagile grace.
