Andrew had obtained the location of the Dojo beforehand, which was why he knew where it was located. As Andrew sped off in his car towards the Dojo, Hannah was clueless about what was happening. She asked Andrew, "What's going on? Are you being pursued by someone?" Andrew steered the wheel while replying, "I made a deal with Master Alec, your father's friend, and I have to be there as soon as possible."Hannah felt a bit perplexed, wondering what kind of business Andrew had with Master Alec. She knew that Master Alec was solely focused on martial arts.Anticipating her curiosity, Andrew decided to explain, "Let's just say it's a short-term arrangement where I'll be getting paid to fight.""Fight!" Hannah's anger flared up, and she clenched her hands. While she knew Andrew was a skilled fighter, she didn't like the idea of him engaging in fights. She didn't want to see him get hurt. "He doesn't always consider himself," Hannah whispered under her breath."Sorry? Did you say something?
The Black Dragon students rushed towards the Crimson student who had defeated their teammate David."We must finish them off" one of them shouted as he was infuriated."Hey, hold on a sec!" Master Alec tried to interject, but his words were drowned out by the sound of the students colliding in a flurry of strikes.The Black Dragon students, fueled by a thirst for vengeance, attacked without hesitation, disregarding Master Alec's advice. The Crimson student, a towering figure with bulging muscles, effortlessly caught the first Black Dragon student who dove at him. He grabbed the student by the collar and hurled him across the training grounds, sending him crashing into a stack of wooden practice dummies, which splintered on impact."You bastard, you must pay!" another Black Dragon student yelled as he charged forward, his fists launched towards him. The Crimson student sidestepped the attack, then delivered a devastating elbow strike to the student's ribs, eliciting a sickening crac
With lightning-fast reflexes, he dodged the first few strikes, his body moving with a fluidity that belied his years of training. He ducked under a spinning kick, then used the momentum to launch himself into the air, executing a backflip that carried him clear over the heads of his attackers.As he landed, Andrew pivoted on his heel, his leg snapping out in a powerful roundhouse kick that caught one of the Crimson students square in the chest, sending him flying backwards. The impact was so forceful that the student crashed through a nearby wooden shed, reducing it to splinters.The remaining Crimson students paused, as they were shocked at what was going on. They had not expected such raw power and agility from this an ordinary-looking young man.Andrew didn't give them a chance to recover, launching himself into a series of attacks. He bounded from one student to the next, his limbs were barely visible as he delivered mirages of strikes at one second.One Crimson student tried to
Andrew was led into the wooden house in the middle of the dojo. Some injured students were being carried inside from the field to receive treatment.Inside, Andrew, who had contributed to their victory, sat next to Master Feng while they were served food.The inside of the wooden dojo was filled with writings about martial arts. The light was soft and gentle, reflecting off the wooden floor.The seating area featured comfortable cushions on mats, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. They were low tables with intricate carvings in the center that held simple cups, plates, and bowls.Another corner housed a small garden designed in the traditional Japanese style. It included small rocks, a peaceful water feature, and bonsai trees. Andrew and Hannah sat on the mat while the food was being served. Andrew quickly began chewing on the food that had been placed on his table, unconcerned about what was happening. Andrew eagerly dug into the steaming dumplings in front of him, savoring e
Andrew sat alone in his dimly lit living room, a half-empty bottle of wine clutched in his hand. Andrew had promised Master Alec that he would do something and he will have to do everything possible in other not to shame the Black Dragons dojo,"The Black Dragon dojo," he murmured, swirling the wine in his glass. "I have to find a way to help them, to give them the edge they need to defeat the Crimson Shadow." He took a long sip, the rich flavor doing little to quell the turmoil within him.Andrew shook his head, "But not today," he said, placing the glass on the table. "Tonight, I need to rest and clear my mind." Leaning back into the plush cushions of the couch, he closed his eyes, allowing the warmth of the flickering firelight to wash over him.The next morning, Andrew set out on his daily jog, his mind already focused on the tasks that lay ahead. As he turned the corner, he caught sight of a young woman jogging in the opposite direction. She was undeniably beautiful, her figure
Nora called her driver, and as she entered her car, she drove off immediately. She was determined to do everything possible to make Andrew hers.Meanwhile, Hannah pulled Andrew away from the chaotic scene. Andrew was still wearing his jumpsuit and canvas shoes, and his well-built physique and muscles were clearly visible. Andrew was quite curious as he walked along the pavement with Hannah. He had no clue where she was taking him.After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at a towering building that exuded luxury, appearing to be a grand hotel. Andrew, feeling slightly underdressed, hesitated at the entrance."Hannah, I think I'm not properly dressed for this place. Maybe we can come back later," Andrew suggested, attempting to loosen Hannah's grip on his arm."I told you that you're my boyfriend today, and you must act like one. And what does a gentleman do for his lady? He treats her to a nice meal. Since you can't do that, let me help you," Hannah responded, her cheeks blushing
Hearing the word "fiancée" was unbelievable for Andrew, and it made it hard for him to think clearly. Hannah had previously told him that the guy who kissed her, Daniel, was just a misunderstanding. But now, everything seemed different. It felt like Hannah was hiding something from him."I don't understand... You have a fiancée?" Andrew asked, his heartbroken, hoping to hear the truth from Hannah herself."That's a lie! I'm not his fiancée!" Hannah exclaimed angrily. She immediately stood up and slapped Daniel across the face, unable to bear it any longer."How dare you slap me! You'll pay for this!" Daniel threatened, trying to push his way in. But the security guards stopped him, refusing to let him enter."Let me in or all of you will be fired! That's an order!" Daniel shouted, his anger boiling over."What are you waiting for? Remove this troublemaker from here!" Hannah lashed out at the security guards who were supposed to do their job.The security guards were unsure of what to
Andrew hailed a cab and headed home, consumed by anger over the recent events. As he entered his house, he slammed the door shut, shutting out the world. He proceeded straight to the bar, grabbing a drink and pouring himself a glass of wine, which he swiftly downed in a single gulp.Lost in his thoughts, Andrew replayed the events that had just unfolded, muttering to himself, "Why do I keep falling for her? I promised myself I wouldn't develop feelings for her again, yet here I am, foolishly falling once more." He heavily tapped his head with his right hand, a gesture of frustration.However, as he recollected Hannah's final words, doubt began to creep into Andrew's mind. "But it seemed like she still has feelings for me... No, what am I thinking? I believe it's all an act... She's only interested in me for my wealth," Andrew reasoned to himself, attempting to console his wounded heart by pouring another glass of wine and taking a sip.***********Hannah rushed home, with countless q
