Chapter 68 Reconciliation?

“Reconciliation? How am I supposed to reconcile with TMO? Dozens of my Black Panther Club disciples have been severely injured, my son’s mouth was scalded by boiling water, and I’ve been thrashed. Do you expect me just to bow my head in defeat, move out of Windows Street, and compensate TMO with ten billion? This is not just a personal affront to Black Panther Club, which is one of the founding clubs of Martial Club United, but also a direct insult to Martial Club United itself! We’ve been bullied and you’re telling me to reconcile. Are you suggesting we broadcast that Martial Club United is easy to push around?”

Justin’s words resonated with many present.

“Exactly! Martial Club United must be respected! Anyone who dares to disrespect us should be punished!”

“We need to stand united. No matter what our people have done, that’s our internal affair to handle!”

“Challenging Martial Club United means declaring war against us, and we must show that person the consequences!”

‘TMO injured so many of our people, they have to compensate us for our losses, they should pay us at least a hundred billion!”

“Right, right, right! That hundred billion in compensation from TMO should be considered as club fees for Martial Club United, benefiting all club members!”

The crowd’s discussion became more heated. TMO was a corporation with vast wealth, and everyone fancied a piece of that pie. Nowadays, with decreasing numbers of martial arts practitioners, many clubs were struggling financially. Most people were short on cash and saw this as a golden opportunity to make a substantial score.

Ryan was conflicted but looked to the other leading club owners. “What do you think?” he inquired.

Jacob Harrison pondered briefly before sharing his thoughts. “If Mr. Justin has a dispute with TMO, then they should sit down to negotiate. It’s not right for TMO to send someone to Justin’s territory just to start

a fight.”

Ethan Parker continued, “Regardless, we indeed cannot endure such an insult. At the very least, we should take people to TMO and demand compensation.”

Benjamin Mitchell nodded, adding, “You’re right, we should definitely pay TMO a visit.”

With everyone indicating their agreement, Ryan had no reason to object. Finally, as the acting chairman, he made the decision. “Tomorrow morning, we’ll take a group of our disciples to TMO. We must ensure they compensate Mr. Justin and issue an apology. However, let me be clear: we are going to negotiate with TMO, not to fight. So, I hope we won’t use any force!”

The next morning, as soon as Daniel woke up, he heard a clinking sound. Sensing something was off, he hurried to the front door, only to replace it had been locked with a chain. He pushed against the door with force, but it barely cracked open slightly.

The first thing Daniel noticed was a pair of beautiful legs. Standing outside the door in a form–fitting dress

was Jessica.

“Honey, what are you doing?” he asked.

“If you address me like that again, I’ll ensure you won’t be able to leave this house for the next year!”
