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 Flamebird 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 explained 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 accept 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 explained, "These people are mercenaries who belong to an organization called Flamebird, and I am the deputy commander of Flamebird 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 his compatriots. 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 Flamebird."
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 Flamebird. Therefore, I request all of you to join Flamebird."
His deafening words shocked the martial-arts practitioners. They were completely thunderstruck and flabbergasted. They could not come 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 plan. He had the intention to force the martial- arts practitioners in China to join Flamebird, 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 Flamebird can come 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.
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 glancing 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 his companions.
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 flattering manner to Lazzaro, "Commander, Casper has a high position in South Hanover City. If he joins Flamebird, 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 Flamebird 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 relax slightly.
