Zhou Wenbin nodded slightly. "Very well."
He slowly rose, took two steps forward, and turned to face the crowd in the spectator stands.
The entire plaza fell silent in an instant. Even the common folk in the distance stood on their tiptoes, straining their ears to listen.
"Today, the Sun's Martial Arts Hall and the Li Family will face each other in a punch duel," Zhou Wenbin's voice was not loud, but it carried clearly throughout the venue. "This is both a martial exchange and a way to settle past grievances. I and all of you here will bear witness. Regardless of the outcome today, all past entanglements between the two parties will be wiped clean. No one shall seek trouble over old matters again."
His words both set the rules and gave both sides a way to save face.
