The next day, Zayn arrived at Channing in an intimidating manner with his four right hand men-Bloodhand, Slayer, Thug and Arhat-in addition to a group of the Cross family's elite fighters.
On his way to Channing, Zayn had already informed the leaders of the South the purpose of his visit.
Surprisingly, the leaders of the South had all graciously agreed to turn a blind eye to the feud between the Cross family and Nathan.
After getting implicit consent from the political and military big guns in the South, Zayn felt like he had nothing more to fear.
Before Zayn set off for Channing, his men, who were sent by him to gather information, had reported back to him that Nathan had married a Smith and was currently living with the Smith family.
As such, he led the Cross family's Four Beasts and the few hundred elite fighters straight towards the Smith family's home in Channing.
Clang!
The vermilion gate of the Smith family's mansion was kicked open and the two wooden planks which made up the door flew forward and crashed onto the ground in the front yard, creating a great commotion.
With his hands behind his back, Zayn marched in with the Four Beasts and the rest of his men.
Upon hearing the loud noise outside, Sean and his family, together with their bodyguards and servants, came out to see what was the fuss about.
They saw Zayn and his group of people storming towards them the moment they stepped into the front yard.
Sean and his family had shocked expressions on their faces as they wondered what was going on. Fergus, the leader of the Smith's security team, stepped forward with his team of bodyguards and shouted, "Who gave you the permission to barge in like that?! Who are you people? How dare you behave so atrociously within the Smith family's territory? You must be sick of living!"
The Smith family had made a name for themselves in Channing recently.
A few powerful forces from The East, which had sought trouble with the Smith family, had all ended up perishing in Channing.
Even the Warlord of Avalon, Bachok Khan, who had gone after Nathan and the Smith Family for revenge, was also defeated in Channing.
With the rise in status of the Smiths, even the family's bodyguards felt that they were unbeatable.
Zayn remained silent and looked at Fergus coldly.
Fergus stared at Zayn and yelled, "Are you mute? I'm talking to you!"
