Chapter 424
Everyone looked at the short- haired middle-aged man in horror. He was still licking his lips. There
was fear in their eyes, and their bodies trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Lazzaro Zhan felt a little disappointed and said, "Well, knowing my identity, you do not
dare to make any move. What a pity. Should I personally take action?"
While speaking, Lazzaro stepped forward and walked toward them.
At this moment, Horatio Zhan came over and said, "Cousin, we have to deal with more important
matters. Let''s put these trivial matters aside for now."
Hearing this, Lazzaro licked his lips and nodded. He stopped looking at the crowd and walked to
Horatio''s side. Then, he gave an order and shouted, "All mebird members, return to your
positions."
In an instant, the 20 plus foreigners took action. In less than three seconds, they returned quickly to
Lazzaro''s side. They stood up straight, raised their heads, and puffed out their chests. They were
quite obedient.
Witnessing this scene, everyone could not
help but feel curious and surprised.
Lazzaro exined with a smile," I will tell you the truth. These people are my people. The coalition
that Horatio wants you to join is actually my organization. Previously, I was afraid that all of you
wouldn''t be able to ept this fact,so I used the Zhan Family''s name to present this organization to
you."
Everyone looked at Lazzaro and no one not dare to speak. Their eyes were full of surprise and
doubt.
Lazzaro pointed to the foreign martial- arts practitioners who were in line and exined, "These
people are mercenaries who belong to an organization called mebird, and I am the deputy
commander of mebird and their boss."
"A group of mercenaries. Did Lazzaro join a foreign organization of mercenaries?"
"He is crossing the line. He actually brought foreigners here to fight against hispatriots. That''s
too abominable."
"What does Lazzaro really want to do?"
As they discussed in low voices, all sorts of doubts and thoughts of dissatisfaction welled up in their
minds.
Seeing this, Lazzaro was not affected at all. He continued to say, "I might as well tell you that I
commanded them to challenge all of you here around South Hanover City in the past few months. I
did this is to let you know that your fancy martial- arts skills are not worth mentioning in my eyes.
You can''t fight against members of mebird."
After a pause, Lazzaro said in a deep voice, "Although you are not good enough,you all have
foundations in the martial-arts skills. You can barely meet the requirements of mebird. Therefore,
I request all of you to join mebird."
His deafening words shocked the martial-arts practitioners. They werepletely thunderstruck
and bbergasted. They could note to their senses.
Even Fade Chen and Casper Zhu frowned at this moment.
They didn''t expect that these foreign martial-arts practitioners, who were throwing their weight
around everywhere, were part of the Zhan Family''s genius''s n. He had the intention to force the
martial- arts practitioners in China to join mebird, a mercenary group he was part of.
For a moment, their expressions became gloomy.
At this time, Lazzaro''s gaze was cold and he continued to say in a clear voice, "Well, I''ve said what I
needed to say. Now, anyone who is unwilling to join mebird cane forward on his own, and I
can grant your wish."
After that, Lazzaro revealed a cold and bizarre smile. His voice was terrifying, like a ghoul from hell,
and many people felt cold and shuddered when they heard it.
The martial- arts practitioners there were silent, and no one dared to say anything.
After all, Lazzaro was well- known for his power and status, especially in the vicinity of South
Hanover City. He was almost like a legend. No one dared to rebel against him, and the scene of
Basile Hu''s brutal and cruel death appeared in their minds at this moment.
Therefore, at this moment, no one dared to take any action.
Seeing that no one was making any sound below, Lazzaro nodded with satisfaction, and a smile
appeared at the corner of his mouth.
On the other hand, Horatio waved his hand and announced, "Since that''s the case,e up one by
one and dere your loyalty to mebird!"
As soon as he said that, many other martial-arts practitioners were still hesitating and trembling.
However .Nickel Xu couldn''t wait to rush up. He knelt respectfully in front of Lazzaro, groveled
before him a few times, and then said with a ttering smile, "Senior Lazzaro, my Far Peace
Martial-Arts Center is willing to join mebird."
"Not bad, not bad!" Lazzaro nodded. Then, he took out a ck pill the size of a soybean from his
fingertips. He handed it to Nickel and said, "Eat this!"
Without hesitation, Nickel took the pill with both hands, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it.
Seeing this, Lazzaro nodded with a satisfied smile. After praising him, he asked Nickel to wait
behind him.
Seeing this, many martial-arts practitioners below couldn''t help but scold Nickel in their hearts for
his shamelessness and opportunistic behavior. However, more people saw him as a role model,
and they rushed forward. They bowed to Lazzaro and took the pills at the same time.
One of them, a clever guy, didn''t forget about the gift that he was going to give Old Master Zhan .
He handed it to Lazzaro respectfully after dering his loyalty to him.
Although the gift was not considered precious, this gesture of respect and submission caused
Lazzaro to feel quite pleased. He nodded with satisfaction, and his face was full of smiles.
As a result, the people after him imitated that guy. Regardless whether they brought gifts or not,
they brought out all their possessions that they had with them and presented them to Lazzaro
respectfully.
More people went on stage, and there were less people below the stage. While the rest of these
people were thinking about this matter, they kept ncing at Casper. After all, Casper was the
chieftain of the Eternal Pride Martial-Arts Center, the most powerful martial-arts center in South
Hanover City, and he had a high status in South Hanover City.
His attitude toward Lazzaro would be definitive for a considerable number of people. If he gave in,
perhaps no one could fight against Lazzaro, and all of the remaining people would surrender to the
Zhan family.
Due to this fact, everyone''s eyes naturally fell on Casper and hispanions.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
At this moment, Nickel wanted to stir up trouble and sow seeds of chaos. He said, "Casper, as the
chieftain of the most powerful martial-arts center in South Hanover City,why are you being hesitant?
After all, Lazzaro is valiant, magnanimous and willing to take you in."
Casper''s expression changed and he wanted to refute him. However, in the face of a master like
Lazzaro, he was still a little timid at the moment. In the end, he could only grunt in a muffled tone.
Nickel did not want to let him off the hook. With a smile on his face, he whispered in a ttering
manner to Lazzaro, "Commander, Casper has a high position in South Hanover City. If he joins
mebird, the rest of the people can be easily dealt with ."
Hearing Nickel''s words, Lazzaro nodded and lowered his head to think for a moment. Then, he
looked up and gazed at Casper. He said, "Casper, I can promise you the position of captain in
mebird if you join me now."
"Are you willing to be under me?" Lazzaro looked at Casper and asked.
Casper''s expression changed. He gazed at Lazzaro and then looked at the few remaining martial-
art practitioners to aid him with his decision. His lips trembled a few times, but he did not speak for a
while
Seeing this, Lazzaro seemed to be a little dissatisfied. Lazzaro frowned and was about to lose his
temper. At this time, Nickel bent over and whispered something in his ear, which caused Lazzaro''s
brows to rx slightly.
