The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 223

Out of options, a desperate Ryan grabbed Daniel by the arm and pleaded, "Daniel, you're our last hope! The thousands of clubs and hundreds of thousands of members of Martial Club United can't become 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 and Nissan Patrols – a fleet of sturdy Nissan vehicles.

The doors swung open, and out stepped a group dressed in samurai attire – members of the newly established 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's top ten martial artists. His father, Haruki Sato, was even more eminent, holding the title of Grand President 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 the entire Martial United of Japan, Takashi Sato had opened a club in New York. His mission was to wash 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 was certain 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 ring becomes the president. So, I'm here to defeat all members of Martial Club United and claim the presidency for myself," Takashi Sato declared with arrogance – an arrogance he could afford with his skills and reputation in Japan.

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