Seeing the solid wooden board and the foot-long steel nails, Akaishi’s face turned pale. He could p nails too, but he had never dared to y with them like L did.


    “What’s wrong, Ski warriors? Are you cowards? I dare to do what you did, but you don’t dare to do what I did?” L asked coldly, his tone full of mockery and sarcasm.


    As his wordsnded, the onlookers disyed satisfaction and superiority.


    “Exactly! Where’s your warrior spirit?”


    “Haha… Look at these little devils, they’ve lost their nerve!”


    “Now you see the power of our Priocia martial arts? Still pretending not to understand?”


    “When facing a true Priocia master, these little devils are dumbfounded.”


    “This young man is impressive! pping steel nails with his hands upside down, it seems some shows are too conservative…”


    At that moment, the Priocia audience was ted. It seemed like they were enjoying it more than L himself.


    “Admit it, Ski warriors. Your martial arts are just a sideshow. Otherwise… do it!” L’s tone was contemptuous, his expression infuriating.


    “We Ski warriors never retreat! But bravery doesn’t mean foolishness! Priocia person, you must be cheating; I suspect your hands are made of alloy prosthetics! But since you can’t handle it, I can’t be bothered to deal with you! You and your woman can leave!” Akaishi’s eyes flickered, his face contorted in anger.


    By now, he realized he had met his match. However, he refused to bow down, admit that Priocia martial arts were superior to Ski’s, and lose face.


    As his words fell, the crowd erupted in boos! Everyone looked at the Ski warriors with disdain and mockery.


    “Mom, he’s being unfair! Humph!”


    “Can I go over there and beat him up?” Nora asked indignantly. “Nora, sweetheart, Daddy will handle them.” Miranda smiled.


    At that moment, L’s eyes glinted sharply.


    “Prosthetics? I think you should consider getting one!”


    Swish!


    Before he could finish speaking, L’s figure turned into a blur. The next moment, Akaishi felt a blur before his eyes, and then his hand was caught by L.


    Following that, L grabbed Akaishi’s hand and mmed it onto the steel nails ced upside down on the board.


    A sharp sound of metal piercing flesh apanied by a pig-like scream filled the air.


    Akaishi’s flesh, unlike L’s, was pierced by the steel nails through his palm.


    “Gaah!” He screeched like a duck, trying to break free from L’s grip. However, another sharp sound followed! L pressed his hand onto the board, nailing Akaishi’s hand down with the steel nails. Akaishi screamed in agony, pinned in ce, unable to move.


    “Ah!”


    “Gaah!”


    “Get him!”


    “Kill him!”


    The Ski warriors, witnessing this, began to curse and mor, moving towards L. However…


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    There was a series of dull thuds as the warriors were sent flying with a single p from L, as if he were swatting flies.


    “Wow! So cool!”


    “See, our Priocia martial arts are mighty.”


    At this moment, the other Ski warriors who hadn’t reached L yet stopped in their tracks, showing expressions of panic.


    “Noting over? Hehe…” L sneered dismissively. The next moment, he scoffed, “A bunch of narrow-minded frogs from a small country, still daring to be arrogant on Priocia soil? Priocia martial arts are profound, something you can’t diminish.”


    With a disdainful smile, L took steps towards the audience below. Several warriors who had stood in his way earlier quickly stepped aside. At this moment, the onlookers, who had been burning with anger due to the Ski warriors’ arrogance, now felt a sense of triumph. How dare these little devils still boast and belittle Priocia martial arts as mere showboating? L nced back before hopping off the tform, and saw Akaishi still wailing, pinned by the nails, while the Ski warriors stood there, resentful and apprehensive.


    Furrowing his brow, L stomped his foot, causing the tform to copse with a thunderous crash. Cries and shouts filled the air as the Ski warriors on the stage tumbled to the ground. Akaishi’s cries grew even more pitiful.


    “Don’t stand so high next time! In Priocia, you Ski people should lower your heads.” L’s voice was cold.


    “Who dares to cause trouble at Thousand Shadows Martial Hall’s apprentice enrollment event?”


    At that moment, a tall Ski man hurried over, causing the Ski warriors, who had fallen and were wailing on the ground, to light up at his arrival. Akaishi, with his right hand in a bloody mess, seemed to find sce in this figure.


    “Mr. Shita! You’ve arrived! Please help us settle this.”


    “This Priocia person disrupted our event and insulted Ski martial arts.” Akaishi pointed at L with resentment using his rtively unharmed left hand.


    Mr. Shita nced at L, but upon seeing L’s appearance, his pupils involuntarily constricted.


    “Mr. Shita, he insulted our karate. You’re powerful; you must help us reim our honor!”


    “Otherwise, these Priocia people will think they can bully us Ski warriors!” Akaishi shouted to the approaching Mr. Shita.


    Mr. Shita was a true master of the Shadow de Sect, far beyond the capabilities of these warriors. However, as the words fell, Mr. Shita delivered a resounding p to Akaishi’s face.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Shut up! We’re here in Priocia to open a martial arts school and peacefully coexist with Priocia’s friends. Who allowed you to be so aggressive? Being disciplined is deserved!”


    Akaishi was left dazed by the p, with the other Ski warriors also stunned.


    What was happening? Why was their master supporting Priocia and scolding them? The onlookers couldn’t help butugh.


    “Haha, little devils fighting among themselves?”


    “Theter one knows how to behave!”


    “Afraid of our Priocia master, aren’t you?”


    Meanwhile, L, observing Mr. Shita’s actions, raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He couldn’t understand why Mr. Shita was being so amodating.


    With a nod and a smile, Mr. Shita addressed L, “Forgive our member’s rudeness. I will discipline them. Heh, it’s fine. I’ve already taught them a lesson.”


    L shrugged, unable toprehend Mr. Shita’s courteous behavior. With that, he left with Miranda and Nora.


    Half an hourter, inside the Thousand Shadows Martial Hall, Akaishi hung his right arm, blood seeping through the bandages. His expression was grim as he turned to the brooding Mr. Shita. “Why didn’t you help us discipline that Priocia person? Do you know we Ski warriors have be a joke to the Priocia people? You should have helped us save face.”


    Mr. Shita nced coldly at him, expressing a hint of trepidation. “Because I am not a match for that Priocia person. If I intervened, I would only be aughing stock. That Priocia person is a true practitioner. Besides, we have more important matters to attend to that cannot disturb the Priocia practitioners. So, I can’t reveal myself or jeopardize Master Kuroki’s ns.”


    With a greedy and devious look on his face, Mr. Shita revealed his true intentions.


    Gilberto had previously mentioned to L that besides a few skilled members of the Willis family, no one else on the ship had sensed anything unusual when Mesosaurus discovered the ind that was considered a paradise. However, the reality was different.
