The crowd erupted. Just because he told them to step forward, they would? Who was that stupid?
Well, someone actually did.
Chen Luo had already sent people to identify the two groups who had bullied Zhao Jing. Just try refusing to step forward.
A bald man and a scar-faced man emerged from the crowd and climbed onto the stage.
Both dropped to their knees with a thud.
"We're sorry, Brother Zhao. It was all our fault. We'll kowtow to you. Please be merciful."
Thump, thump, thump! The two began kowtowing repeatedly.
They really meant it. They nearly broke the stage boards with their foreheads. Their heads were bleeding, but they kept going.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded. Paying really could buy revenge.
Survivors who had been bullied felt their blood surge at the sight. They wished they had an Advanced Crystal so Chen Luo could help them get even, too.

"And that's not all. Brother Zhao Jing is now a lifetime honorary member of Dawn City. As long as our leader has a bite to eat, Brother Zhao Jing will never go hungry."
"We will protect Brother Zhao Jing for life. As long as Dawn City exists, anyone who bullies him makes an enemy of Dawn City."
"This is Dawn City's promise. If we break this oath, may heaven and earth destroy us."
That was enough of a performance. No amount of sweet talk would persuade people who didn't want to hand over their
