C173 Fight Me and Whoever Loses will Kneel down and Apologize

Eldest Brother arrived at the edge of the training area, his brow furrowed in concern. "What's going on with you guys?" he demanded.

Zhang Meng, upon hearing his voice, reacted as if a long-lost child had suddenly found his family. He rushed forward, crying out, "Eldest Brother, you're here! You have to stand up for me. Lin Dong broke my jaw, and he didn't stop there—he challenged Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi, injuring them both!"

Eldest Brother looked up to see Lin Dong standing confidently in the center of the training area. As their eyes met, it was as if sparks flew and thunder cracked between them. Despite Eldest Brother's superior rank and imposing presence, Lin Dong was no easy mark, his resolve unyielding. The idea of intimidating him with a mere stare was laughable.

Eldest Brother could sense a slight shift in Lin Dong's piercing gaze, which irked him. As a 9th-degree black belt Taekwondo master, he had been the revered Eldest Brother at the Martial Arts Club for years, and no one had ever dared to meet his gaze so boldly. Lin Dong's fearlessness and subtle dominance were unsettling.

In the world of martial arts, the clash of auras is a critical element. Lin Dong's ability to push back with just a look seemed to suggest that Eldest Brother might be the lesser of the two.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi joined the fray, aligning themselves with Zhang Meng as they addressed Eldest Brother. "Eldest Brother, Lin Dong not only challenged Brother Meng with excessive force, but when we tried to intervene, he turned on us and left us injured. His arrogance is unbearable!"

"Exactly! Lin Dong is challenging the authority of our Martial Arts Club, and by extension, he is challenging you, Eldest Brother!"

"You must put him in his place!"

"Show him the true strength of our Martial Arts Club. We can't allow his arrogance to go unchecked!"

The two echoed each other's sentiments, twisting the truth. Had Lin Dong not witnessed the events himself, he might have been convinced by their distorted narrative.

Oscar owes them a little golden statue!

Yet, as Lin Dong listened to their conversation, he offered no rebuttal.

At his current level, he wouldn't concern himself with the slanderous remarks of people like Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi.

Lin Dong's gaze remained indifferent.

It didn't matter to him whether it was his Second Senior Brother or Eldest Brother; even if a deity descended, Lin Dong's stance would be unchanged.

Anyone bold enough to challenge him would receive a lesson in manners from Lin Dong himself!

Eldest Brother looked up, his eyes settling on Lin Dong once more.

Lin Dong was undeniably handsome, but his build was slight, especially when compared to the robust figures at the Martial Arts Club.

In a crowd, he would hardly stand out.

Yet, the intensity of Lin Dong's gaze had made a lasting impression on Eldest Brother.

He addressed Lin Dong with a furrowed brow, "Lin Dong, you've grievously injured members of the Martial Arts Club without cause. This is a serious offense. If you don't provide me with an explanation today, you won't be leaving this place.

Of course, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself. Go ahead."

His voice dripped with condescension, a natural extension of his status as Eldest Brother.

The members of the Martial Arts Club were keenly attuned to his commanding presence. Zhang Meng and the battered Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi all bowed slightly, a gesture of respect.

But Lin Dong was unimpressed.

He responded coolly, "There's nothing to explain. You're well aware of the character of your men. If you're looking to defend them, bring it on."

"How audacious! To speak to our Eldest Brother in such a manner!"

"He's too arrogant! He doesn't appreciate the opportunity given to him!"

"Eldest Brother, don't let him off easy. Cripple one of his arms as punishment!"

Zhang Meng, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Qi, inflamed with indignation, shouted in unison.

Eldest Brother's anger was palpable, yet he remained composed.

He fixed his gaze on Lin Dong and declared, "Fine! It seems you're determined to resist to the bitter end. So be it. Let's spar. The loser will kneel and apologize! Do you accept the challenge?"

Lin Dong chuckled, "I've agreed. Now, let me see what you've got, Eldest Brother!"
