During that year, two men successfully infiltrated Changshan’s Zhao clan.
One of them nearly empowered the clan, while the other almost destroyed it.
[?]: Thanks to you, big brother, they won’t dare to bully me any more.
[?]: But don’t push too hard, since everyone is on the same side.
[?]: Is it worth it to help people without thinking of the consequences?
chapter 596 Dueling Ma Chao
[Liaoyuan Huo]: If you don’t get stronger, there’s no hope for you to become the head of the Zhao clan.
(“…first seat…”)
{Zhao Huo}
[Zhao Ang]: But you’re uncle’s son, big brother. Wouldn’t you be the head of the clan?
{Zhao Ang}
[Wang Yi]: That was before you showed up, dummy.
{Wang Yi}
[ZA]: What else do you know, Disciple Sister?
[WY]: Zhao Huo wasn’t born in the Zhao clan.
[LYH]: I came to make the Zhao clan look good.
(not sure)
[LYH]: If we succeed, you’ll still have to take the reins one day.
[WY]: Someone pretended to be you because they knew you were important.
[WY]: Luckily I saw through him before he could bury the real you, dummy!
[LYH]: As Dong Zhuo’s influence grows, joining the Zhao clan is like stepping up in the world.
(rephrased)
[LYH]: And similarly, it leads to rivalries within the clan for the leadership position.
[LYH]: An honest and loyal man like you need to be very careful.
[LYH]: Keep yourself alive, and keep an eye on everyone around you…
[LYH]: That’s all I’m asking of you!
Those who approached me might have had their own goals.
Perhaps they were nice to me to compensate for something.
I don’t mind, as long as we did what we had to do!
(“…ask heart no regret”; not sure)
[ZA]: Zhao Huo, do you hear me?
[ZA]: Save our teacher, save Ji city!
[ZA]: That’s all I’m asking of you!
[ZA]: It’s not important what you owe my clan!
I dislike death, but there are things I dislike even more.
And so, there are occasions when I will not avoid danger!
[Ma Chao]: Zhao Huo?
[Eighth]: The real Zhao Yun.
[Eighth]: Don’t worry, General. In order to keep the situation from spiraling out of control, he won’t reveal his identity.
[Eighth]: With our rations supplier in his hands, we should prioritize the big picture.
(I removed “the king of the Di tribe” to keep the sentence smooth)
[MC]: Then we have to do what he says.
[MC]: When it comes to brawling, I’ve never lost a fight!
[Eighth]: General, not only is he more skilled than me, his potential is limitless!
[MC]: Your warning only makes this fight irresistible.
[?]: As a sign of good will, release those useless captives.
[LYH]: Let them go first. I’ll stay.
[ZA]: Teacher! Hold on!
[ZA]: Sister Yi, bandage him up!
[WY]: Okay.
[Zhao Zhen]: It’s Huo!
[ZZ]: Huo.
How many years has it been…
[LYH]: Yes, teacher.
[ZZ]: Both men, here…
[ZZ]: P-put me down, go now… I’ll cover your rear!
[ZZ]: Huo… return to Ji… help the Zhao clan…
[ZZ]: I’ll defend… cough cough cough!
[ZA]: We’ve rescued our teacher, big brother. Hand me the King of Di, and take the others back to the city!
[ZA]: With your martial arts, I beg you to help the people of Ji!
[ZA]: Let their safety be your compensation!
[LYH]: You haven’t changed a bit.
[LYH]: Is it worth it to help people without thinking of the consequences?
[ZZ]: D-don’t listen to him, hand me, the K-king of Di…
[ZZ]: Ma Chao is the strongest opponent I’ve ever met, you, cough cough cough!
[ZA]: Don’t listen to him, big brother, hurry!
[LYH]: Don’t worry.
[LYH]: Fortunately, that kind of man is all I’ve ever met.
[LYH]: I’ve got experience.
[LYH]: Hurry up and leave!
[MC]: Very good.
{grab~}
[WY]: Brother Ang, we’re surrounded, hurry!
[ZZ]: Huo, watch out!
[MC]: Rest assured, Yang Qian Wan.
(wordplay on his name lost in translation)
[MC]: I’ll settle this with one move.
{wham~}
{gasp~}
[?]: Are you wounded, General Ma?
[?]: Kill him, together now!
[MC]: Again!
[LYH]: Hold your horses, I’m just getting started.
