Hodoka Makoto looked at Xu Hao with his old eyes, and said somewhat helplessly, "You were just sparring with the Saint of Fist. As his loyal supporters, it was natural for us to assist him. It was merely a difference in stance; there was nothing inherently wrong with it. Now, I am willing to lead the entire Hatano Family to surrender to you, and I ask you to accept us."
"Why should I accept you? Shouldn't I just eliminate you all to prevent future troubles?"
As Xu Hao walked towards Qiu er and the others, he said, "I have repeatedly emphasized that you can attack me, but do not target my people, or I will retaliate a hundredfold."
Hodoka Makoto quickly said, "Master Xu, I understand your personality, which is why I candidly confessed to you. Moreover, our Hatano Family will demonstrate enough sincerity, so please don't take what happened earlier to heart."
