“What exactly is your problem?” huffed Gerald. “Humph! So Fabian lost, big deal! If you think you’re that good then why don’t you get on that stage and fight instead?!” yelled Isabelle. It was crystal clear that she was simply directing all her anger and frustration on Gerald. She even picked her bottle up and tried splashing water all over Gerald! Thankfully, he was able to avoid getting drenched in time. However, he was now extremely tempted to give her a tight slap across the face for doing that. Luckily, their classmates stepped in and pulled Isabelle aside to prevent the situation from further escalating. Maia herself simply glanced at Gerald for a brief moment before returning her gaze to Warren who seemed to be exuding a radiant aura. She knew he wouldn’t let anyone down. At that moment, a judge walked up the stage and approached Warren before saying, “I’ve honestly never met someone your age to hold that much skill and grace! You truly are the champion of Sunnydale!
A short while later, Jasmine returned though this time, she was donning her uniform. Her hair had been tied into a ponytail and the whole look complemented her beauty perfectly. While most of the guys were gushing over her, many of the girls were green with envy. Even Gerald had his eyes fixated on Jasmine. He hadn’t really expected her to know how to fight. Seeing her, Warren began blindfolding himself with a black strip of fabric. His action immediately swooned the audience. How cool and manly! After making sure that the knot was tight enough, Warren then taunted, “Come at me, now!” While his actions were condescending, Jasmine didn’t say a word. Instead, she lunged at him with lightning-quick speed! With a loud thud, Warren was kicked right in the face! He wasn’t able to block or even dodge her attack. He only realized what was happening after being sent flying out of the ring and crashing hard onto the ground. Everything simply happened too quickly for him to even p
Wyatt was still busy helping Warren up when he heard his sister calling out to him. Realizing that someone was trying to pick a fight with her, he immediately felt a burning rage in his chest as he rushed toward them. He had already been embarrassed enough by the fact that he didn’t even have the courage to challenge a girl who was able to beat Warren up. After all, he was one of the best fighters in the school. Now that his sister was being bullied, he simply couldn’t allow his ego to be crushed any further. If he didn’t stand up for her now, he would definitely be the biggest disappointment to his family! “How dare you! Do you have a death wish or something?!” roared Wyatt as he launched himself forward, directing a kick at Gerald’s chest. “Oh god, Wyatt’s mad!” “Of course he is! Not only did that guy hit his sister, he’s probably equally as angry at himself for not accepting her challenge!” “I know right? Wyatt’s definitely going to take it all out on that guy!” Ever
“Come fight her like a man, you coward!” yelled Mindy as she looked at Gerald. She honestly wanted to see both of them spar. “Yeah! Fight like a man!” chanted several of the other girls in the stadium as well. Gerald could only shake his head with a wry smile on his face. There was no way he was going to be able to worm out of this one. Knowing that, he could only agree to the challenge and slowly got onto the main stage. Throughout his brief training with Finnley, he had been taught a total of five self-defense moves. Each move was different, prioritizing on protecting the user from either punches, kicks, or weapons both long and short. The fifth technique, on the other hand, could be utilized under situations where one was being restricted from the back. While all these would definitely help Gerald defend himself should he come face to face with danger, they were still essentially only self-defense moves. They were completely useless in a fight like this. Upon entering th
Hearing that, Mindy immediately left her room to notify her teachers. However, she returned not too long after. “None of the teachers are around, Jasmine. The rest of the adults in the mansion aren’t present either. They’re having their meeting in the meeting room! Have you forgotten? Today’s the day they host their annual big meeting!” explained Mindy. “Ah, I just remembered. No matter then, I’ll just talk to them tomorrow,” replied Jasmine with a nod as she sat on her bed. It didn’t take long before Jasmine realized that Mindy looked as though she still had more to say. “What’s wrong?” enquired Jasmine. Hearing that, Mindy then skipped over to Jasmine’s side before cheekily asking, “Say Jasmine, what do you think they talk about in that mysterious annual family meeting that only our family’s males can attend?” “How should I know?” replied Jasmine as she shook her head before realizing something. “…What are you scheming of, Mindy?” asked Jasmine as she looked Mindy in th
“Indeed… After the young master passed on, no other Fenderson was able to challenge our rivaling family. After all, you were already at an old age when that happened, big brother. It truly is a shame… Thank god our little Jasmine is extremely talented. Her skills could easily match the young master’s! With enough training from us, she could become even more amazing!” said another old man. “While I’ve considered allowing her to participate in this, she’s still Ethan’s only daughter. She’s the last of her bloodline! I’ve been protecting her from the outside world for the longest time… I just don’t have the heart to let her in on all this!” exclaimed the Fenderson patriarch. “She’s still young and she’ll eventually be married off as well. I should also mention that not even young master Ethan had been able to handle the family. What can she do? Her parents had both been killed in that incident, do you think they’d hesitate to take down a little girl?” said another middle-aged man with
“Did you hear that?” The patriarch asked the moment she entered the study.Jasmine nodded firmly. If the fact that the younger generation of their family was permanently grounded was enough to make Jasmine gloomy and depressed every day, then she would forever be grieving over the incident which involved her parents. At least when she was grounded, she could throw a tantrum or complain about it. But ever since she was young, no one had ever told her anything about her own parents. She’d only receive beatings when she asked about them. “Do you hate me for hiding it from you for so many years?” The patriarch asked. “No, I don’t hate you. I understand that you hid it from me for my sake!”Jasmine said. “Jasmine, I saw your performance over the past few years. Frankly speaking, I’m very proud to have a granddaughter like you. Your parents in heaven should be very proud of you too.” The patriarch patted Jasmine’s shoulders lightly. “Then grandpa, who is the enemy of our
Certainly, her grandfather would step forward and intervene since she was going to inherit the property forcefully. Jasmine did not have to worry about the Schuyler family. Although the Schuyler family was quite powerful and influential, they did not dare to cross the line indiscriminately.Jasmine walked out of her grandfather’s study. She tucked away the photograph properly, and she was about to return to her bedroom. “Jasmine, I’ve been waiting for you for a while now!” Under the cover of night, there was a young man standing outside in the courtyard. “Yael Schuyler, why are you waiting for me?” Jasmine said coldly. “I heard from someone else this afternoon that you were hurt. Got beat up by someone else, I heard. I was worried about you, so I came to ask you about it. Don’t worry, Jasmine. I’ll make him pay a heavy price for it!” Yael said.“It’s none of your business. Let me tell you. If you dare to even lay a single finger on my classmates, I’ll certainly never forg
