Clarence’s face fell. He asked angrily, “Kate, why are you here?

“I saved you out of kindness, yet you’ve now brought so many people here to take out your frustration on me?”

Kate looked proud as she took the whip from her waist and cracked it. “Hmph, if I wasn’t hurt, I would’ve just come over to grab you with a single hand. Even though I’ve brought so many people over, I don’t actually want to hurt you.”

She looked at Clarence with sadistic pleasure. “Aren’t you talented? I’ve noticed that you seem to have trained in martial arts before. I’m showing you a lot of respect by bringing so many people here.

“As long as you come with me obediently and help me save someone, I promise I won’t hurt even a single hair of yours. Plus, after you’re done, I’ll give you 100 million. What say you?”

After Kate said that, she looked at Clarence meaningfully, waiting on his response.

Clarence did not have a good impression of Kate. “Have you ever heard about the farmer and the snake? The farmer saw a frozen snake on a snowy day, so he used his chest to warm the snake up. The snake was saved. However, the snake then turned around and bit the farmer. Eventually, the farmer was killed by the snake’s venom.”

“What are you trying to imply?” Kate had an unpleasant expression on her face.

“I’m saying that you’re evil. I saved you, yet you’ve brought your people over here to try to catch me.” Clarence’s expression was icy. “Do you know the story of the man who helped the dog?”

“How dare you compare me to a dog!” Kate was furious.

Clarence asked again, “Have you heard of Clarence Howard and Kate Reed?”

Kate flew into a rage. “Get him! Get him!”

Clarence was chiding her indirectly. What a hateful man!

Kate wanted to beat Clarence up on the spot, but she had internal injuries that had not yet completely healed, so she was not able to fight him right now.

Whoosh!

More than 50 men in uniforms pounced at Clarence, blocking all of his potential escape routes.

Clarence’s eyes grew cold, and he focused his energy. The people slowed down in front of him like they were in a movie that was being played in slow motion.

Clarence resembled a fish as he swerved between the 50-plus men.

None of the 50-plus men were able to graze even a single hair of Clarence’s.

Kate was so mad that she stomped her feet. “My my, how stupid!

“You people are so stupid!

“Woody, get his lower body! Lou, get behind him! Lenny, how could you be so stupid? He was just half a meter away from you just now. You could’ve grabbed him if you just moved forward. How could you let him escape?”

Master Williams and Cecilia were anxious. Clarence was fighting over 50 people. Even though he was fine for now, they could not be sure that he would remain fine.

“Stop it! If you don’t ask them to stop, I’m calling the cops!” Cecilia took out her phone as she threatened Kate.

Kate pouted and said, “Go ahead. It’s no use anyway.”

“You…”

Cecilia did not know what to do. It seemed like Kate was truly not scared of Cecilia calling the cops.

Having now escaped the group, Clarence did not have the patience to continue playing this game of cat and mouse. He yelled, “Kate, if you don’t tell them to stop now, don’t blame me for not going easy on them.”

“Hehe, do it. I want to see how you’re going to do it.” Kate clapped her hands and laughed. She looked as if she was waiting to watch something exciting.

She was waiting for Clarence to fail so she would feel better.

Clarence’s face fell, and he rushed away from the crowd. Then, he took out some silver needles from behind the counter of Thirteen Hall and returned to the crowd quickly.

This time, he would be on the offensive.

Stab!

Stab!

Clarence held a silver needle in each hand and stabbed them into two people’s acupoints.

The two burly men collapsed like puppets.

“What did you just do?” When Kate saw this, the expression on her beautiful face changed.

Clarence was indifferent as he continued. He continued to move through the crowd and stab his silver needles into everyone’s body.

After less than 3 minutes, all of the 50-plus men had limply collapsed to the ground. They were now scattered all over the floor of Thirteen Hall in all kinds of positions.

Kate pointed at Clarence. “You’re too much! What did you do to them?”

Clarence was amused. “I’m too much? How dare you say I’m too much! I’m just an honest man who practices medicine. I’ve never done anything against my conscience, so I’m not afraid of anything. Every day, I’m cautious and conscientious. Not to mention, I saved your life this morning! Yet now you bring more than 50 people here to try to catch me.

“I’m just defending myself with my silver needles by taking away their ability to fight. It’s just self-defense, yet you say I’m too much?

“Are there not still laws? Is there not still a natural order of things?”

Clarence’s eyes were wide and his face was red. He took a step towards Kate with every word he said.

Kate was dumbfounded as she listened to him. She was speechless, and she did not know how to defend herself. “I… I…”

“Hmph, for a woman, you’re so vile. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have saved you. I would’ve just let you die out there,” Clarence roared, feeling indignant at the injustice he had been shown. He felt as if he had been extremely wronged.

After Clarence yelled at Kate, she was so scared that she began trembling. The whip in her hand fell to the ground and tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Boohoo, I didn’t mean to do it. Who asked you to bully me? I just wanted an outlet for my anger. You said I was evil, and you called me a dog. Do you think I can take this all?” Kate was sobbing heavily.

Clarence was baffled. He had just been arguing strongly for what was right since he had gained the upper hand. He was not expecting to make Kate cry.

He felt depressed.

Kate looked like someone who knew martial arts, so why was she so fragile?

“That’s enough, Katie. Stop crying. I’ll avenge you.” The middle-aged man by her side had a dark look on his face.

Kate shook her head. “It’s fine. This is my fault anyway. He’s right, I’m an evil woman.”

The middle-aged man shook his head, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly. His gaze sharpened. “Hmph, even if it’s your fault, he defeated my disciples from the Martial Arts Association and now they’re all lying all over the floor. If I don’t try to defeat him, how am I supposed to continue ruling this place?

“How can the Martial Arts Association branch of Mediterranean City show our face to the world? All of the Martial Arts Associations in the country will have their reputations tarnished.”

The man took a step forward and stomped his foot.

The granite tile of Thirteen Hall that he was standing on broke on impact. The crack began from the bottom of the middle-aged man’s foot before spreading out into a spiderweb-like shape.

Clarence was upset over the tile because each square foot of them cost over one thousand bucks, and this man had just broken one of them.

Crash!

The middle-aged man launched himself forward the next second. He was faster than any athlete in a hundred-meter dash. He charged toward Clarence, his hands clasped together as they aimed straight at Clarence’s chest.

Kate instinctively yelled, “Watch out! My brother is an internal energy martial artist! Your ribs might get broken with this attack. Get out of the way!”

The woman still had a conscience. She knew that she should warn Clarence to stay away.

Boom!

Clarence did not dodge. Instead, he lifted his hands and clenched them into fists. Then, he punched the man back with all his might.

Swoosh!

When the middle-aged man made contact with Clarence’s punch, his body shook and he staggered more than ten steps back. He was standing on the newly-cracked granite tile now.

His face was filled with shock. “How was that possible? How did your single punch have so much force?”
