Chapter 422
Listening to Nickel Xu''s words, Horatio Zhan snorted heavily. Then, he said in a low voice, "It seems
that I have to do this the difficult way. Since all of you don''t know what''s good for you, don''t me
me for being rude!"
Upon hearing this, the martial- arts practitioners below started to boil in anger and indignation.
Some of them were even bold enough to fight against Horatio.
"Horatio, what do you mean by that? Are you threatening us?"
"Although we are not strong, not everyone can bully us! Hmm!"
"Horatio, we respect the Zhan Family and Old Master Zhan. However, it doesn''t mean that you can
do whatever you want in the name of the Zhan Family."
"We won''t give in easily."
As the crowd roared in anger, Horatio''s expression became even gloomier. He lowered his head
and growled like a beast, "Come out, all of you. Teach them a lesson!"
In an instant, there was a loud noise, and then
many figures jumped out. They rushed over directly from all directions of the open space below,
forming a circle. They surrounded all the martial-arts practitioners on the field.
The martial-arts practitioners could not help but look solemn. They held their weapons and were
ready to fight.

When these people stood still and their faces were revealed, the martial-arts practitioners were
shocked and they cried out in disbelief.
"Why are there so many foreigners?"
"Why do these foreigners look so familiar?"
"These are the foreigners who were challenging everyone around the city some time ago!"
"It''s them, it''s them. That bald tattooed man, I still remember clearly that he injured my father."
"How do these foreigners have a rtionship with the Zhan Family? Are they in cahoots with
them?"
"The foreigners that are here battling the martial-arts practitioners are under the orders of the Zhan
Family? What are the Zhan Family''s intentions?" "No matter who they are, if anyone dares to
oppress us, we will never retreat." Facing the foreign martial- arts practitioners, some people were
not willing to surrender. Therefore, they shouted loudly and took the lead to rush toward the foreign
martial-arts practitioners.
However, many people were doubtful. Their courage was greatly reduced at this moment, and they
began to hesitate.
"These foreigners are all masters. We can''t beat them!"
"Yes, my uncle was injured and he is a master at thete- stage of the yellow level. It''s impossible
for me to defeat them."
"Maybe, we should listen to the n of the Zhan Family''s coalition. Maybe it wont be that bad!"
Although a lot of people hesitated, many people were even angrier. After all, their friends and
rtives were injured by these foreigners. At this moment,they were furious when they saw their
enemies, and they took action and rushed up to fight these foreigners.
When those foreigners saw the attack, they sneered and looked up at the rostrum.
Horatio nodded and said, "Take action. Be careful. Don''t go too far."
The foreigners nodded and rushed up, facing the attack.
Suddenly, there was a series of attacks. The angry martial- arts practitioners and the foreigners
were fighting each other. The loud sound of surging energies, the collision of weapons, and the
screams of the injured caused the scene to be even more chaotic.
However, the battlefield calmed down quickly.
There were around fifty or sixty angry martial-arts practitioners, and there were only twenty
foreigners. However, the strength of the martial- arts practitioners was only at the middle-stage of
the yellow level, and there was a huge gap between them and the foreigners. Therefore, they were
no match for them at all.
However, after more than a dozen martial-arts practitioners were beaten to a pulp, the other people
who were restless could not help but shrink back a little timidly.
The chaos subsided gradually. In the end,almost all the martial-artists were driven out, except for
the dozen people who were groaning and wailing on the ground. There was only one strong man
left, and his head was covered with blood. However, he was still unwilling to surrender.
The burly martial-arts practitioner''s opponent was a brown- haired foreigner, who was impatient
after being pestered by the burly warrior. With a snort, a dagger appeared in his hand, and he
wanted to stab the burly martial-arts practitioner fiercely.
However, at this time on the stage, Horatio said, "Wait a minute!"
The brown-haired foreigner stopped, with a look of displeasure on his face. Horatio''s eyes fell on
the burly man and he said, "Basile Hu, you are an experienced and qualified person in the martial-
arts world of South Hanover City. I respect your sense of integrity and character. Now, I''ll give you a
chance toy down your weapon immediately, and I can stop them from taking action."
The burly man spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and said fiercely, "Horatio, you want me to give
in and be a subordinate of yours. Don''t even think about that!"
A hint of anger appeared on Horatio''s face. He said in a low voice, "Basile, I''m willing to spare you
due to the fact that the Zhan family and yourself have been friends for many years. Don''t be
ungrateful!"
Basile sneered and said, "You don''t have to pity me. Even if I die, I have to be a decent man instead
of being an enved dog."
His bold words immediately attracted a lot of enthusiastic response from the audience. Some
martial- arts practitioners, who were hesitant because of fear, felt the blood boiling in their hearts at
this moment. A sense of heroism rose from within them and they suddenly stood up.
"Basile, that''s a good point. Today, I, Old Wang, will be a decent man with you."
"Senior Hu, you''re a great hero. I admire you and support you."
"Count me in!"
"Me too!"
"Come on, let''s kill them together. I would like to see how powerful the Zhan family is, and see how
they try to kill all of us."
Horatio, who was about tomand the curly- haired foreigner to attack, suddenly became timid
when he noticed this situation. His expression darkened and he couldn''t help but take two steps
backward with his lips trembling slightly.
He didn''t expect this group of people to have such courage when their lives were threatened. For a
moment, he didn''t know what to do.
Just as Horatio had an unpleasant expression and was hesitating, Nickel quickly winked at him and
reminded him,saying, "Horatio, hurry up, ask him toe forward! Otherwise, the situation will be
out of control."
Upon hearing this, Horatio nodded, turned around, and shouted, "Cousin,e forward now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned. They wondered who Horatio was calling.
They were full of doubts in their hearts, as if they couldn''t remember which powerful person in the
Zhan Family was Horatio''s cousin.
Just as everyone was feeling confused, a gust of overwhelming energy swept over them and
enveloped the whole field suddenly.
All the martial-arts practitioners felt that there was ayer of curtains on top of their heads,covering
the skies andpletely enveloping them. Then, this gust of energy kept pressing down on them,
and the momentum from this energy was oppressive and tense.
For a moment, everyone was shocked. They looked up and saw a dark figure falling quickly from
the invisible curtain.
