Not only was Saionji Watanabe's eldest disciple, but he was also Saemon and Demon's senior.
He was absolutely furious when he found out that his two juniors were severely injured and that Prince Seimei was forced to kneel down before a foreigner. Therefore, he immediately brought along his comrades to take revenge on Nathan.
Saionji held onto his katana as he shuffled calmly towards Colin and Frida in a pair of wooden clogs. "If you don't ask Nathan Cross to come out, I'll cut your heads right off."
Colin and Frida were infuriated, but before Colin could say something, Nathan interrupted, "You really can talk big."
Everyone then only noticed that Nathan and Penny had already appeared.
Colin approached him and said softly, "Master, they..."
Nathan waved his hands to show that he knew what was going on.
The moment Prince Seimei saw Penny, he cast her a gaze of admiration. Even though he had met a lot of pretty ladies, they were no match for this foreign beauty, so he was now even more determined to win her over.
He cast a murderous gaze at Nathan and taunted, "Haha. Little brat, you probably weren't expecting to see me again this soon, right?"
Nathan replied calmly, "Have you already forgotten the pain and humiliation when you kneeled down and begged for mercy in the restaurant?"
He was a prince, yet he was forced to kneel down.
Prince Seimei was forcibly reminded of that unpleasant event and his expression darkened instantly as he commanded in fury, "Saionji Aizawa, please go ahead."
Saionji, who was sizing up Nathan in amusement, smirked. "What a haughty foreigner. How dare you be so insolent to our prince? I am the eldest disciple of the God of Kendo, Master Watanabe, and I formally issue you to a challenge right now."
Nathan let out a slight smile. "It seems like I can't say no to that."
Saionji chuckled. "Don't worry. With my expert swordsmanship, you'll suffer a painless death."
Prince Seimei chimed in, "Haha, little brat, don't worry about your wife. I will take care of her when you die, haha!"
Nathan's expression darkened instantly.
"You're asking for death!"
He then charged towards Prince Seimei with broad strides.
However, Prince Seimei was unfazed because a few dozen samurais had formed a protective circle around him.
Saionji stood in Nathan's path as well. "Little brat, your opponent is me. You need to defeat me to get to our prince."
