The situation outside the Sunria Martial Arts Center briefly spiraled, underlining the intense reactions to what was, by all accounts, an officially sanctioned life-and-death duel.
As the scene outside the martial arts hall grew increasingly chaotic, the Metropolitan Police Department quickly called for reinforcements.
They even enlisted the help of the local gang, the Drumskulls, to help maintain order.
Despite these efforts, the number of protesters-primarily supporters of Bastien-continued to grow, indicating a deliberate effort to incite unrest.
When Robin emerged from the martial arts center surrounded by staff, a young woman from Draconia broke through the police cordon and confronted him.
She pointed at Robin and shouted, "You cruel thug! Do you realize what you've done? You've shattered the image of excellence, kindness, and love that we hold dear! You've even tarnished the competitive spirit of mixed martial arts, lacking even the basic martial ethics of a warrior! I don't know about your 20 years of hatred, but I do know that an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind! Do you understand the consequences of your actions? They bring only hatred!" Her impassioned outcry captured everyone's attention.

She was well-known for her presence at all of Bastien's matches and had authored many articles lauding Sakurania's top warrior.
Approaching Tamara, Cynthia challenged her sharply, "If I were to slaughter your entire family, would you still preach toabout friendship, peace, and love? You are just a piece of trash who has forgotten even your ancestors, yet you dare to lecture my lord! If you dare insult my lord again, I will end you!" Tamara recoiled, visibly shaken by the menacing aura that Cynthia exuded.
A man beside her began to protest, but his indignation was swiftly cut short as Cynthia pressed a short sword against his neck.
"I am Cynthia Rivers of Kinoria, known as the underground queen of Nordmare in Sakurania's martial society!" she declared with chilling confidence.
"Do you think I would hesitate to eliminate someone like you, who doesn't even know their own surname? Get lost!" Meanwhile, a portly man dressed in white, escorted by a police officer, approached Robin after showing his credentials.
"Are you the Divine Drakebane? You must be from Draconia. Allowto introduce myself," he said, extending his business card to Robin, who did not take it.
"I am Lemi, the vice president of Draconia and Sakurania Free Fighting Exchange Association." "What do you want?" Robin asked.
Lemi continued, "Divine Drakebane, when you cto challenge Bastien in Sunria, why didn't you notify our association? Do you realize that our association does not condone revenge-driven life-and-death duels?" Robin raised an eyebrow. "So?" he challenged.
Lemi, feeling the weight of the moment, stammered, "You ... You must apologize to the martial arts community of Sakurania, and..." Robin's expression turned icy as he interrupted, “Are you askingto apologize to the former killer?” Without warning, he struck Lemi across the face. “F*ck you! Are you still not awake from your bootlicking antics?” The slap sent Lemi flying, and he landed heavily in front of a group of police officers at the police station. "Officer, I am the president of DSA. You guys better arrest this thug!" Lemi cried out from the ground.
Robin advanced towards Lemi, pointing at the several armed officers surrounding them. "Try me! Let's see how many heads I can chop off!" he taunted.
"D*mn, why am I always running into scum like you?" Robin's contempt was palpable, and all the police officers at the station hesitated, none daring to meet his gaze, effectively ignoring Lemi's pleas.

+8 Pearls Every officer at the scene was silently praying, Sir, please just leave quickly. If you don't, our hearts will shatter. Throughout their careers, they had never encountered someone as fearsas this individual from Draconia. Lemi, watching the scene unfold, could not fathom why the officers at the Sakurania Police Station were so terrified.
Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted as a group of suited men charged towards Robin.
The crowd began to murmur among themselves.
"That's Azul Fotheringay, the head of Drumskulls in Sunria." "Why is he coming over now? Are the Drumskulls going to make a move against this Divine Drakebane?" Drumskulls was not just any gang; it was the largest in Sakurania, commanding tens of thousands of members. Their influence was so significant that even the police department and self-defense forces had to treat them with a certain level of deference.

Given the DSA's business dealings with Drumskulls and his own past interactions with Azul, leader of the Suintia. Drumskulls, he understood the potential implications of this new development. Tamara, serving as the liaison between the DSA and Drumskulls, recognized Azul and his entourage.

"Are you also here for this life-and-death duel?"
Her tone shifted as she continued, "Our association deeply regrets the violent actions of Divine Drakebane, and we have decided that he must make a public apology...
