Chapter 608 Dare I Not Hit You?
Chapter 608 Dare I Not Hit You?
It can be said that Lachlan only had two options now: either take action and be subdued by the Hall of Enforcement, or swallow his pride! Whichever choice he made, Ryan felt confident of his victory!
With Lachlan's appearance, many onlookers showed a hint of curiosity, eagerly anticipating how Lachlan would handle the situation.
A chubby man who had just been attacking Fiona sneered upon seeing Lachlan.
He disdainfully spoke to Lachlan, "Who makes the decisions here, you or me?"
"Just because you did well in the first round doesn't mean you can look down on everyone!"
"Let me tell you, in terms of cultivation, we are not inferior to you! We've just spent a few more years honing our skills in the mundane world, slightly better physical conditioning than the average person. What's there to be so arrogant about?"
"Yeah, who do you think you are! So what if I bullied Fiona? Are you daring enough to lay a hand on us?"
After the chubby man's words, others also began provoking Lachlan one after another.
They dared to confront Lachlan in such a manner because Ryan had promised them rewards! Once they entered the Broken Pulse Sect, they would all belong to Ryan's faction.
Their future days would be better! When presented with such benefits, no one would directly refuse!
The chubby man leading the group was particularly arrogant, seemingly afraid that Lachlan wouldn't dare to act.
He continued to approach Lachlan, using both physical gestures and words to provoke him.
The more unpleasant Lachlan's expression, the more pleased he felt!
"Do you really think I won't lay a hand on you?" Lachlan chuckled coldly, his tone icy.
"Talk is cheap. Why don't you make a move?" The chubby man paid no attention to Lachlan's threat and continued advancing towards him.
Smack!
In that moment, Lachlan narrowed his eyes, swiftly struck out, landing a resounding slap directly across the chubby man's face. Lachlan put half his strength into this slap. Even if the chubby man had True Energy shielding, it was no match for Lachlan's force.
Bam!
The chubby man was sent flying, spinning in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Silence fell over the surroundings. Despite many anticipating this confrontation, witnessing Lachlan's actual action still evoked shock. "So what if I hit you?"
Lachlan sneered, stepping forward and stomping directly on the chubby man's body.
Boom!
As Lachlan's voice fell, he forcefully stomped towards the chubby man's abdomen with a single foot.
Pfft!
A bright red spray burst forth from the chubby man's mouth, his face instantly losing its color.
"Help! Murder!"
"Where are the Hall of Enforcement seniors? Someone is attacking here, aren't you going to do anything?" "Lachlan, you dare to act openly! Do you not regard the Broken Pulse Sect at all?"
Soon, various cries rang out, followed by a rush to condemn Lachlan for his arrogance and recklessness!
The commotion naturally caught the attention of the Hall of Enforcement, and soon over a dozen disciples clad in black attire made their way over.
Upon seeing the conflict involving Lachlan, Captain Rodrigo Ramos was taken aback. Someone quickly explained the situation to him.
"Hall of Enforcement seniors, Lachlan suddenly struck someone just now! Many people witnessed it!"
"You must ensure justice! Lachlan has a violent temper, acts belligerently, and is not suitable for the Broken Pulse Sect! I suggest revoking his qualification for the competition!" "Yes, I saw it too. If we hadn't intervened in time, he might have killed the person!"
"I believe revoking his qualification is not enough; he should be expelled!"
"Violence should not go unpunished!"
Among the crowd, there were constant echoes of support, and not far away, Ryan's smile became increasingly pronounced.
Lachlan, oh Lachlan, you've ultimately fallen into my trap! Now that the Hall of Enforcement has been alerted, let's see what fate awaits you!
Hehe, this is the price of offending me!
As the crowd continued to lament to the captain of the enforcement team, they failed to notice the calculating expression that began to appear on Captain Rodrigo's face. What's going on? How could he be unaware?
With a quick glance at the scene, he basically understood the situation! Never mind these people bullying others, they were just asking for trouble by coming to someone's door.
Even if it was Lachlan's fault, he would turn a blind eye!
Not because of anything else, just because he was Lachlan!
Who was Lachlan? Rodrigo knew a thing or two about him.
The Deputy Sect Master and the Great Witch Doctor had both hinted to him.
With that in mind, the captain of the enforcement team spoke directly to the crowd, "Alright, I've heard enough."
"It seems like you were the ones bullying others first, right? All of you apologize to Lachlan!"
"That's it for this matter."
"Hahaha, Lachlan, did you hear that? The brothers from the Hall of Enforcement want you to apologize to us!"
"If the senior brother says so, do you dare to defy him..."
As the captain's voice fell, the fat man burst into laughter, but halfway through his sentence, he abruptly stopped.
A look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"Th- this brother, did you just say we should apologize to him?"
"But, clearly, I was the one who got hit by Lachlan!"
The fat man's face was full of grievances.
Rodrigo didn't care about all that, and upon hearing the fat man's questioning, his face immediately turned cold as he said in a frigid tone, "What? You don't want to?" "If you don't want to, then I suggest you leave right now."
"You have one minute to consider. If you don't apologize, you will all lose your qualifications to continue the competition!"
Wow!
The captain's words directly caused a stir among everyone. No one had expected such an ending!
Lachlan had hit someone, and instead of apologizing, it was the victim's side who was asked to apologize!
Although they had bullied others first, they hadn't laid a finger on anyone! But they didn't dare to defy Rodrigo's words!
Didn't they hear him? If they didn't apologize, their qualifications would be canceled!
Soon, the fat man and the others
gritted their teeth and began to bow
and apologize to Lachlan. Each of

dissatisfied.
"Hehe, considering Fiona wasn't harmed, let's just leave it at that!"
"But if there's a next time, I won't go so easy on you!"
Lachlan's words were simply taking advantage of the situation!
These people were extremely aggrieved!
We were the ones who got hit! How come it sounds like you were the one being bullied!
Afterward, the fat man and the others dispersed one by one, none of them daring to stay near Lachlan.
Now, even the discerning eye could
see that the Hall of Enforcement was biased toward Lachlan. Who
knew if Lachlan would strike again?
They didn't want to risk getting beaten for no reason!
"I have high hopes for you."
"When you enter the sect, consider joining our Hall of Enforcement."
As the crowd dispersed, Rodrigo gave Lachlan a light smile and left directly.
Watching the captain of the enforcement team's departing figure, Lachlan also chuckled inwardly, realizing that the captain was trying to curry favor with him.
It was a pity that his strength wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. Otherwise, he might have actually joined the Hall of Enforcement for some fun.
"Fiona, if you encounter something like this again in the future, don't be afraid!"
"If you need to act, then act. I will always have your back, you understand?"
Listening to Lachlan's reassuring words, Fiona nodded vigorously.
When Lachlan made his move just now, she also felt inexplicable relief in her heart!
Her parents had always warned her not to get into conflicts with others for the sake of her health, which had resulted in her somewhat timid personality.
But today, she suddenly realized that sometimes violence could quell violence! As long as you had enough strength, no one would dare to bully you! Strength! Strength! I need to become stronger!
Lachlan didn't know that his unintentional action had quietly changed Fiona's life.
