After the others saw the smoke from the bombs they were in complete shock. They were paralyzed to the point Nephilim and Minato just walked by them and left. They were all horrified over the events, but the one who was the most horrified was Amato. That was his part of the city and his people that were possibly hurt.

"That sick bastard! He planned this whole event to get me away from Downtown, so he could do this! I'm gonna fucking kill him!" Amato said as he tried getting up and rushing ahead. Jason caught his shoulder though and held him in place.

"Don't. This is what he wants." Jason said as Amato turned and looked at him. The look in Amato's eyes was pure anger and pain.

"Jason he just fucked with my part of the city. Now let me go so I can kill him." Amato said as Jason gripped his shoulder harder.

"No. I told you that's what he wants. I'm not gonna let you run off and get yourself killed. Clearly he's not above just killing you. He tried killing all of us with the first bombing." Jason reminded them as Amato stood up still seething, but calm enough to hear Jason out.

"Your debts paid Jason. Now what do you say we do about the living legend who just treated us like a bunch of goddamn playthings!?" Amato yelled as Jason thought.

"I don't have a single clue." Jason said honestly. They tried fighting him head-on, and they were worse for wear. Honestly they landed more than a few good hits on him, but he was so damn durable.

"Fists as strong as Damian Crowe's, and a body as tough as his as well. Nephilim really has been chasing Damian's shadow all these years." Takashi said rubbing his arms. They hurt like hell just like after he tried fighting Damian.

"So this is where you wound up Eiji. Making your grandpa go looking for you. What kind of grandson does that?" An old man's voice came from the direction of the party venue. The group looked over to see an old Japanese man walking towards them. He was somewhat short standing around 5'5, and was wearing dress clothes like most of the men were. He had long grey hair that was pulled back in a ponytail, and an eye patch over his left eye. This was Musashi Kazama Takashi's father and Eiji's grandfather.

"Hello father. Sorry we weren't inside to greet you. Something urgent came up that we had to take care of." Takashi said as he and Eiji bowed to the older man.

"Something to do with my older grandchild? I saw him leaving here not too long ago." Musashi said as Takashi sighed.

"Yes. It seems he's started following someone you know from your time as head of the Kazama family." Takashi said as Musashi started looking worried.

"Which one?" Musashi asked already guessing what was happening.

"Nephilim. His real name is Norman Piers the Mayor of New Duivel." Eiji said as Musashi sighed.

"I'm too old for this shit." Musashi said as his eyes landed on Jason who was the least beat up of the group.

"Huh. So you're that thing's son." Musashi said. Jason just looked at him confused not understanding what he meant.

"Musashi was one of the gang leaders your father fought for control of the city." Mao Ka Long said as Jason had a look of realization.

"Can't believe he had a kid. At least it seems you have the thing that made Damian terrifying." Musashi said as Jason was confused again.

"What do you mean? I don't have my dad's brute strength." Jason said. He knew he didn't have the kind of inhuman strength his dad did.

"The strength wasn't what was terrifying about Damian. It was his tenacity that put terror in our hearts. He wouldn't ever stop when he put his mind to something. No wonder his body was so inhuman. He fought so recklessly that if he wasn't that tough he would've never won a fight." Musashi said as Mao Ka Long let out a soft chuckle.
