Royal Gold Magistrate

Fang Zheng’s heart leaped into his throat.

He wasn’t sure if Brother Biao could beat Chilie.

But he knew Brother Biao’s courage well enough. The man feared nothing.

With that knife thrown, if they started fighting now, wouldn’t they tear the restaurant apart?

What if Zhang Biao couldn’t win and got hurt?

If someone died, it would become a major diplomatic incident!

While Fang Zheng frantically considered solutions, the crowd of spectators led by Li Yuanzhao was already eagerly stirring things up.

“Brother Biao, get him! Put another knife in him!”

“Paper tiger! Brother Biao is still the best!”

“This Northern Rong guy is such a loser!”

Brother Biao’s fierce attack and cold expression once again captured the hearts of the Inferno Gang members.

Chilie glanced at the knife in his shoulder and casually pulled it out.

Then his thumb pressed down, instantly bending the knife before tossing it aside.

A crimson stain slowly spread from his shoulder.

When he looked at Zhang Biao again, his eyes blazed with excitement!

A master! This man was definitely a master.

Though he’d only shown skill with hidden weapons so far, that force and speed meant he must be capable in other areas too.

This person might actually give him a good fight!

Chilie slowly lifted his foot, then kicked Lord Ji Er flying toward Zhang Biao.

His huge mouth split into a grin that nearly reached his ears.

“Not bad… want to fight?”

Zhang Biao maintained his wooden expression while staring at Chilie, but his eyes revealed his excitement!

Fang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward.

Given the time and place, someone getting killed or injured would be a huge problem either way.

They absolutely couldn’t let anything else go wrong!

“Enough! Stop here! Zhang Biao, come back!”

Zhang Biao turned and walked back to Fang Zheng’s side.

Chilie felt somewhat disappointed. Seems he had misjudged him, just another coward after all.

Lord Ji Er, lying on the ground, was helped up by his gang members. He first gave Zhang Biao a grateful look.

Then he said shamefacedly to Fang Zheng: “Lord Fang, I… I was wrong.”

“You weren’t wrong. Thugs should do thug things. Just wait for your reformation!”

Lord Ji Er smiled bitterly: “I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person!”

“Give me another chance! I’m a Civilized Model Citizen! Lord Fang!”

A gang member frantically handed over the banner, hanging it around Lord Ji Er’s neck.

The gangster had holy light protection now!

Looking at the banner on his chest, Fang Zheng’s mouth twitched twice.

“Fine, get out of here quickly. Don’t let me catch you doing this again!”

The Inferno Gang members fled as if pardoned, carrying Lord Ji Er as they rushed downstairs.

The second floor suddenly emptied.

Li Yuanzhao was extremely excited, whispering constantly in Zhang Biao’s ear: “Fight him, fight him!”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng pulled him to his side.

Then he faced Paba and said: “Master, today’s matter is settled. This official will treat it as if nothing happened.”

“In the future… you’d better keep Chilie in check.”

Paba’s face had turned dark as water. He nodded.

A random stranger had managed to wound Chilie.

Who knew Great Jing had such skilled warriors?

Fang Zheng pushed Li Yuanzhao forward: “Master, let me introduce you. This is our Crown Prince!”

Paba’s heart jumped as he quickly sized him up, then hurried forward to bow.

But Li Yuanzhao clearly had no interest in him, mumbling a response while continuously examining Chilie.

“Impressive. I wonder who’s stronger between such a warrior and Zhang Biao?”

Paba glanced at Zhang Biao: “No one can match Chilie’s strength!”

“Is that so? Why not let them have a match? This prince would like to see!”

Li Yuanzhao clearly didn’t want to miss such entertainment and continued stirring things up.

Fang Zheng sighed and stepped forward: “Let’s not, Your Highness. Everyone’s still hungry, and look, he’s injured. It wouldn’t be a fair fight!”

A vein appeared on Paba’s forehead.

Not a fair fight!? Without even competing, you’re already declaring victory?

Paba bowed slightly: “Since His Highness wants to see, why not let them have a friendly match?”

Fang Zheng looked back at Zhang Biao.

Brother Biao was still staring intently at Chilie, looking thoroughly interested.

Clearly such an opponent had him itching for action.

Seeing Fang Zheng’s gaze, Zhang Biao said firmly: “Young Master, I want to fight him.”

“No!” Fang Zheng refused flatly.

The earlier knife throw had caught Chilie off guard, but now he was prepared.

The room was too small, and a direct fight would likely put them at a disadvantage.

Seeing Zhang Biao’s disappointment, Fang Zheng said helplessly: “This is someone’s restaurant. What if you break the furniture?”

“If you must compete, just arm wrestle.”

To prevent Li Yuanzhao from stirring things up further, Fang Zheng quickly pulled over a table.

“Come on! Let’s finish this and eat!”

Li Yuanzhao looked thoroughly displeased and moved to Fang Zheng’s side.

“Old Fang, why are you being such a coward? Let Zhang Biao fight him!”

“Your Highness! Zhang Biao is my dearest friend! What if he gets hurt? Will you take responsibility?!”

Li Yuanzhao sheepishly fell silent and stepped aside.

Zhang Biao strode to the table and immediately placed his left arm on it.

If he couldn’t have a proper fight, testing their strength would do.

In Taoyuan County, no one was stronger than him!

This guy had really fired him up today!

After Paba gave some quick instructions, Chilie also walked to the table and sat down.

He looked at Zhang Biao with slight disdain.

Zhang Biao glanced at his arm and said: “Your right arm is injured. Let’s use left hands!”

Chilie wasn’t careless either and silently extended his left arm.

Their hands gripped tightly as their gazes locked, filling the second floor with intense atmosphere.

Everyone held their breath.

Fang Zheng felt extremely tense too. Sitting face to face, Zhang Biao looked so much smaller than Chilie!

He had truly met his match.

He had never seen Zhang Biao look so serious before.

“Begin!”

At Fang Zheng’s signal, both sides suddenly exerted force.

The moment they started, the table and chairs groaned under the strain.

Zhang Biao’s face turned red as his muscles bulged.

His already powerful arm instantly grew another size larger as veins popped out.

His explosive muscles were fully on display!

Chilie wasn’t doing much better on the other side.

Though his dark complexion didn’t show the redness as clearly as Zhang Biao’s face.

But his huge eyes bulging round showed he was using all his strength.

Their arms swayed slowly left and right.

Everyone’s hearts rose and fell with the movement.

Little did they know Paba was already shocked beyond belief!

Who would have thought… this Zhang Biao would have such incredible strength!

Despite such a huge difference in size, they were locked in stalemate.

And from the looks of it, Zhang Biao wasn’t at any disadvantage!

The atmosphere grew increasingly tense…

Suddenly *BOOM* an explosive sound! One arm slammed down, splitting the wooden table in half…
