Chapter 421

expect this person to be Quintus Zhan’s father. Quintus was crippled by him previously. Taking a closer look, he found that there were indeed some similarities between his eyes and eyebrows with Quintus’s. Horatio led four or five people to sit down on the rostrum. After coughing a bit, he began to speak. "Today, the Zohan Family has invited all the martial arts practitioners in the martial arts circle to this contest. Thank you all for your support and for attending this event." After that, Horatio took the lead in applauding them. However, the martial arts practitioners below weren’t having any of it. They hissed and shouted at the same time. "What is the deal with this martial arts contest? Hurry up and tell us the main points. Don’t talk nonsense and give us a meaningless speech!" "That’s right. We aren’t holding a sports meeting for primary school students. Why do we have to talk about this ?" "If there’s nothing else, don’t waste everyone’s time." "Horatio, you may leave!" Such a situation caused Horatio’s expression to seem a little unpleasant. However, when he thought of the plans that he had, he felt courageous. He looked at the people below him and his face fell. Then, he knocked on the microphone to calm everyone down, and he said in a low voice, "Since everyone has requested for me to talk directly, I will get straight to the point." "Go ahead!" "Don’t beat around the bush!" "Tell us now!" Horatio paused for a moment and his face fell. Then, he lowered his voice and said loudly in an imposing manner, "This time, we have one purpose for inviting all the martial arts practitioners here. We intend to form a martial-arts coalition gradually. We hope that everyone will join us." As soon as he spoke, the place became noisy and the voices of discussion were buzzing. "What coalition? The word sounds so good, but they want to control us!" "I knew it, but I didn’t expect the Zhan Family to do it!" "Why should we join this coalition ? It’s not good for us. Instead, we have to listen to the orders of the Zhan Family It’s meaningless for us!" "That’s right. Coalitions or Associations? We’ve seen so many of these things over the years. They’re just changing the names, but it’s all the same!" The place was noisy, and the voices of opposition were very loud. Horatio’s expression darkened, and then he said in a clear voice, "Join the Zhan Family coalition. We can guarantee that you can share the resources of our Family, and we can make progress together. We need to create a new world order in this country. We also intend to go abroad and develop into a large international organization." Horatio talked about the benefits of the coalition, but it seemed like no one was convinced. Many people shook their heads to show that they were not interested. "What resources? They will probably give us something they don’t want. How could the real resources of the Zhan Family be shared with us?" "That’s right. If the Zhan Family was really serious about this matter, would they send Horatio to preside over this meeting? I don’t think we can rely on this coalition!" "We are a small group, and we are not that ambitious. We don’t want to create a new world order, and we don’t want to go abroad. It’s enough for us to live a good life in our own small territory." "Yeah, I’m old now. I’m over 60 years old. I don’t want to take the risk anymore!" "If there’s nothing else, I think there’s no need for the meeting to continue." Although some groups were attracted by Horatio’s promises, there were still many people who objected to them. Some people even got up directly and prepared to leave. At this time, Horatio suddenly stood up on the rostrum. With a loud shout, his air was threatening. "Everyone, you’d better sit down and think about this matter carefully. This coalition is backed by our Family. You can decide whether to join or not, after you think about the matter thoroughly." His words shocked a lot of people. At the same time, it caused many people’s expressions to become unpleasant. "Horatio, what are you trying to say? You want to threaten us with the name of the Zhan Family." "That’s what you mean! If we don’t join this coalition, it means we are against the Zhan Family." "This is crossing the line. The Zhan Family is being overbearing." I can’t believe this. Old Master Zhan has not bothered us for so many years in South Hanover City. How can he force us to join this coalition now ? I think that this is just some false organization created by Horatio in the name of the Zhan Family!" A burly and bald martial-arts practitioner stood up and shouted. His words immediately won the approval of many people. Everyone nodded and cast a doubtful look at Horatio. At this time, Nickel Xu suddenly stood up and said to the crowd, "What are you doing? The Zhan Family gave us such a good opportunity, so why are you still dissatisfied ?" "I think all of you are so narrow-minded that you can’t see the great potential of the coalition. My Far Peace Martial Arts Center supports the decision of the Zhan family and we will be the first to join the coalition, Nickel said. He raised his hand and shouted loudly, "If you have the same mindset, join us!" Nickel tried to encourage the crowd to join, but it didn’t work. Only a few people raised their hands. Basically, these people were just from small groups. They were not worth mentioning at all. The expressions of the rest of the people who looked at Nickel changed, and their tone was full of disdain. "You’re from the second best martial arts center in South Hanover City. It’s ridiculous that you’re willing to be a subordinate
