"I've learned the situation between you and Egbert, and I have a suggestion. I propose that Egbert give you both five million to settle this matter over tea. What do you think, my brothers?"
"If my calculations are correct, he's already swallowed over ten billion just from that one neighborhood alone. And now you want him to pay five million to make it go away? Do you think I'll agree to that?"
Damon's face began to show signs of frustration as he replied, "Brothers, when we're away from home, harmony is the most important thing."
But Billy wasn't buying it. He had been in power for too long to be swayed by such words.
"I don't have time for this nonsense. No matter who speaks on his behalf, if we don't see you repay the money owed at the neighborhood tomorrow, you company will be shut down! Go ahead if you want, get your people done with their job, I need time for myself before accompanying my daughter tomorrow morning." Said Billy.
Damon was annoyed at Billy's words. Though he was slightly intimidated by Billy but he was still the king of Ozin's underground world. How could he allow two unknowns like them act so recklessly?
"Well then let me see what tricks you two have up your sleeves!" Damon turned around and addressed an old man behind him saying, "Ezio, please help us out here."
The old man nodded before stepping forward. There was a glint in his eyes as he looked at Billy.
"If I'm not mistaken, you two must be martial artists? My name is Ezio Andrews, may I ask for your names?"
"Not bad!" Billy glanced at him and said, "You are barely a Battle General, you can be considered as one of the top figures here in Ozin."
Those who practiced martial arts were not ordinary people. The levels of martial arts ranged from Battle Apprentice to Warrior, then to Battle Master, followed by Battle General (King) and finally to Battle God. There was no limit to martial arts; it only went higher without an ultimate peak. Within each level there were five stages: Novice, Tier-one, Tier-two, Grand Elder and True Master. To ordinary people who knew some kung fu moves could only be considered as a Novice Battle Apprentice. As for common thugs, they couldn't even reach that level.
Billy had just said that the old man was barely a Battle General, which meant he had reached a perfect completion level.
This surprised Billy slightly.
"Hmm?" Ezio Andrews didn't expect Billy to see through his level so easily.
"Although your skill is better than ordinary people, you are still too weak." Billy continued calmly.
Hearing this remark from Billy made Damon's group look at him like he was stupid. They all knew how skilled Ezio was-although they wouldn't say he was invincible throughout Ozin's underground world-but he definitely ranked among top three fighters there. None of those so-called gold medal fighters could withstand even one move from him.
And now, a young man under thirty dared to comment like this. What ignorance and fearlessness! "It's rare to meet someone of the same profession. Let's have a friendly competition!" The old man took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. "Come on."
