‘Are you serious, Alex?’ Shawn had to open his eyes wide when he heard that. He turned around and walked closer to Alex. He looked into the old man's eyes. Alex's gaze was calm and relaxed as Shawn looked at him intently. Shawn didn't see any hesitation in Alex's eyes, he was serious about making Shawn fight with a professional.Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. ‘What does this mean, Alex?’Alex was quiet for a moment. Then he held his chin. ‘I have no intention of hurting you, Young Master. In fact, I need to gauge your abilities. Your physical abilities are already very good. But what about your leadership and responsibility? Is it as strong as your physique? I want to measure that with a fight with a professional.’Shawn gasped. He opened his eyes wide after hearing Alex's reasoning. It turned out that the old man in front of him had a unique way of thinking. He wanted to see Shawn's discipline and dedication through a tough fight. An athlete or not, if he knows that he will fight
"Rachel?" Rachel's mother swallowed when Rachel seemed to be silent like that. Her hand reached for Rachel's arm. She felt that Rachel's body was not as hot as before. "Shawn, what happened to Rachel? Why is she so quiet?"Verena turned to Shawn while glaring at him. While Shawn didn't reply anything just looked at Rachel and waited for something.Rico grabbed Shawn's shoulder. "What have you done to my daughter? Why isn't she reacting anymore? Did you make it worse?"Shawn looked at Rico with a furrowed brow. Shawn shouldn't have to answer questions like that. Any fool would know that a husband like Shawn would never harm his wife and child. Shawn was just doing what he had to do.Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. "I saved her."Verena then felt movement from Rachel's body. She immediately turned her head. "Oh, Rachel?"Rachel opened her eyes slowly. She could clearly see everyone who was there. The first thing she did was frown. "Mum, Dad, why are you here?"Verena immediately felt
“... 198... 199... 200!” Shawn stood back up after he did push ups. This morning he did push ups immediately after waking up. He did it in a low voice so as not to disturb Rachel. She was still asleep in bed. Shawn himself when he woke up from his sleep on the sofa he immediately remembered that he needed to take care of his physique. That's why he did 200 push-ups to warm up.When Shawn was about to get a drink, he heard his cell phone vibrate. He quickly picked it up so Rachel wouldn't wake up. It turned out to be a call from Alex.“Hello, Alex.”“Good morning, Young Master. I was going to wake you up this morning, but it looks like you woke up first. Successful and wealthy people have a habit of waking up early, I want to make sure you do the same.”At this time of the morning Alex was already applying pressure which seemed like a new task for Shawn. It's true, the richest people in the world always wake up earlier than everyone else. But does it really have to be that way for Ale
Rachel could not blink her eyes when she saw Shawn in the octagon. Shawn was currently fighting a well-built fighter there. Shawn was hit several times, but Shawn smiled and didn't respond.Alex shouted from the side of the octagon. “You have a habit of taking punches, Young Master. Try to avoid them and find an opening!”Shawn backed away while shouting back. “Easy to talk than do it, Alex!”Shawn was not unwilling to dodge and retaliate, but he was still thinking of the best way to fight an MMA athlete. The martial arts in Shawn's head have many fatal blows and some are meant to kill, such as Krav Maga and Pencak Silat. Both martial arts are used to destroy joints, injure the groin, eyes, and even punch the neck. All of those moves are definitely prohibited when doing combat sports like this.Shawn thought hard about what style he should use. “Muay Thai and Kick Boxing, can I use them now by restricting my movements?”When Shawn's opponent throws a straight punch, Shawn can dodge it
"Shawn, are you okay?" Rachel asked Shawn again when he was wrapping his hand with a hand-wrap before using his hand glove. Shawn turned his head with a slight smile and furrowed his brows. "I'm okay, Rachel. Everything will be fine."Shawn could see that Rachel was gulping. She was worried about what would happen to Shawn. What made Shawn believe it even more was that the question Rachel asked had repeatedly escaped her thin lips. If Shawn counted, it was probably six times that she had asked that question.It made Shawn smile until his teeth showed. This kind of Combat Sport seemed to scare the woman. Even though she had seen Shawn fighting outside several times.Rachel, who saw Shawn smiling like that, furrowed her brows and puffed up her cheeks. "Why are you smiling like that? You could have gotten hurt in this fight!"Shawn gave a small nod. "Yes. A human can get hurt if he’s getting hit."Shawn casually said that. Of course Rachel became a little uncomfortable hearing it. How c
"What are you doing, Reno? It's already round three and you're still like this! Your opponent is just an amateur!" Reno's coach yelled as he wiped the sweat off Reno's face. He was very upset that Reno was unable to finish this early. All eyes were now starting to doubt how Reno could not knock Shawn down even once, despite managing to land a few punches.Reno grabbed a bottle of water and rinsed his mouth, then spat it out into the bucket. He glanced at his coach. The 50-something wearing a black hat furrowed his brow in annoyance. It seemed like Reno wasn't playing up to his expectations. In fact, Reno had done what he could.Reno exhaled. "I can't mess around. Coach, in Round 4 I'm going to bring out my best punches. Chances are this glove won't hold up. Can you get me a spare glove?"Coach Reno narrowed his eyes. "You learned a secret technique without my permission?"Reno nodded confidently. "Yes."The break time was over. Reno stood back up and set up his stance. When the refere
There was no sound at all after the punch. Even the referee who was supposed to immediately check Reno's condition was motionless for a few seconds. Because he was stunned at the power of Shawn's punch. Until finally he realized that he had to ensure the safety of the players. He immediately went to Reno and checked the state of his body.A few moments later the referee crossed his arms up. Signaling that Reno could not continue the match. Suddenly everyone cheered. Most of them couldn't believe this result. In fact, some of them even cried because they lost the bet so badly.The commentator shouted loudly into the microphone. “Unbelievable! It turns out that the brave amateur has the ability to defeat Reno, the world champion! It's an unprecedented result for someone to K.O. a world champion in his first match!”The referee immediately pulled Shawn to the center of the octagon and raised his hand. Everyone cheered, although many people were cheering because they were not happy with
“A dinner?” Rachel glanced at Shawn while raising one eyebrow. She couldn't believe it at all. Even after fighting quite brutally, all Shawn had in mind was dinner tonight. Shawn nodded with a smile. He was confident enough to say that to Rachel at the moment.With an exhale, Rachel released the embrace of Shawn's hand and looked at him coldly. “Don't you know the time, Shawn? You need to check your body first. You've taken a lot of beatings.”Shawn chuckled. “Rachel, did you remember to grant all my requests when I won? Now I'm asking you to have dinner with me.”Rachel was stunned to hear that. Apparently this was one of the things Shawn wanted to do. Such a simple thing. Feeling that Shawn's request was so easy, she nodded in agreement. Shawn smiled happily. As far as Shawn could remember, they had never had dinner out.As soon as Shawn was about to head to the locker room, Alex approached him. “Young Master, let's go back to Lord Darius' house. Lord Darius has already gone home.
