“I understand.”Matthew Collins raised his fist with a fierce look on his face.“Tyr Summers is a useless coward. You’d better make me proud and not embarrass me later,” Stephen Cole warned.Matthew Collins chuckled. “That’s my forte.”In the afternoon, Stephen Cole took the initiative to invite Tyr Sumers and Winifred to go around the town.Since Winifred Zea knew in her heart that Stephen Cole and Matthew Collins were up to no good, she decided to go ahead and find out for herself.Once they were on the road, Stephen Cole attempted to create opportunities for Matthew Collins to demonstrate his good qualities in order to make up for the awkwardness he had caused when he gave her the gift.However, the fellow was a complete swine who was clueless when it came to pleasing ladies. Matthew was even able to butcher the conversations he had with Winifred.As such, Winifred Zea had an awful expression on her face throughout the journey.Meanwhile, Tyr Summers sighed along while he observed t
As a weak lady, there was no way Winifred Zea could physically overpower Stephen Cole, and so he forcefully dragged her out of the boxing gym. However, Tyr Summers did not follow them out. Standing still without moving an inch, he seemed to be deep in thought.The shouting around him grew louder. Everyone thought that Tyr was a coward who did not dare fight Matthew in the ring.Matthew himself was shouting wilding from inside the ring too. Though Tyr continued to stand still, he turned to look at Matthew thoughtfully. When their eyes met, Tyr noticed that Matthew’s eyes had turned red with rage.“Tyr Summers, I won’t make it hard for you. In fact, I’ll fight with only one hand.”The crowd went wild with cheers. However, Tyr still did not move a muscle.“Useless coward, are you afraid?”“Hurry up and get into the ring. Are you even a man?”“That’s right. Brother Matthew already said he’ll fight with only one hand. Are you still afraid?”“Why don’t you use only one leg, Brother Matthew?”
A short and dark young man with a big, golden chain around his neck walked out from the corner. It was William Collins.“Brother Tyr, you really are amazing. That was too epic. That punch was insane. It looked even more awesome than what Qiao Feng did in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Brother Tyr, you are a god-like existence to me.”Tyr was really getting tired of how William constantly tried to suck up to him. He could not stop thinking about the time William tossed the golden chain into the hotpot. That incident still repeated itself in Tyr’s mind like an unbreakable spell. When Tyr thought of these things, his blood boiled.Taking in a long breath, Tyr looked away from William, and instead turned to look at a corner further down the road. “Jade, do you think I enjoy playing hide-and-seek with you?”A graceful lady instantly appeared from behind William. Who else could it be if not Jade Laurell? Indeed, one could not deny that this Queen of Jewelry from Khanh City was very sexy and attr
Marcus felt as though he had suddenly been sent from heaven to hell.Previously, Jade confidently promised that she would be able to find an expert to protect the Collins family from the dangerous situation they were facing. Therefore, Marcus had never lost hope, because Jade never disappointed him with her efforts.But this time, he felt utterly hopeless when he saw the young man Jade had brought to him. Based on Tyr’s appearance and body type, he did not look like an expert fighter at all.Marcus could not be blamed for his feelings of disappointment. Anyone else would have reacted the same way. However, Marcus was someone who had gone through a lot of hardship. He believed in the principle that one should not judge a book by its cover.Although he did not have much faith in Tyr, he made sure not to show it.“Anyone who shows up is a guest. Come and sit, Little Brother Summer,” said Marcus.Jade and William nearly passed out from fear when they heard how Marcus addressed Tyr. As the
Hearing Tyr’s snarky comment, Marcus broke out in a cold sweat. Iron was someone that he’d tried very hard to hire. If Iron were to be offended by Tyr’s words, and consequently stalk out in a huff, the Collins family would be in big trouble today.“Little Brother Summers, you should not be impolite to Master Iron,” said Marcus.At this point, there was no reason for Marcus to treat Tyr with respect. And since he did not think much of Tyr from the beginning anyway, there was a tone of rebuke and a hint of blame in his voice. If not for Jade’s sake, he would have kicked Tyr out of the house.On the other hand, Jade began shivering and panting with fear. ‘Tyr Summers is a godly being. How could you speak to him in such a way, Marcus?’ she thought to herself.Out loud, she said, “Big brother, shut up! You can’t disrespect Mr. Summers.”Feeling like Jade was being over-protective of Tyr, Marcus frowned. Meanwhile, Iron began laughing dramatically. He walked over to Tyr and looked down at hi
Silence.There was a deadly silence—even a needle dropping to the ground could be heard with absolute clarity.While Marcus’ mind went blank for three seconds, Jade appeared dumbfounded. Even Leo seemed to be somewhat in shock.This…Wasn’t this a little over-exaggerated?Even Iron, who laid on the ground unmoving just a moment ago, seemed to open his eyes while he kicked his legs outward.Lub-dub…Marcus hurriedly knelt to the ground and bowed down to Tyr. “Mr. Summers, I, Marcus Collins, was foolish to not recognize your prowess. Please forgive me, Mr. Summers. I’m begging you to save us, the Collins family!”Tyr stood up, narrowing his eyes as he looked in Leo’s direction. His gaze made Leo feel as though he had been spotted by a wild beast. While Iron’s punch was not able to push Leo away at all, Tyr’s single glance was enough to make him subconsciously take a step back.Leo began to speak in a frightened manner, “I am the northern…”It seemed like he intended to intimidate Tyr wit
While Tyr mumbled to himself, there was a sarcastic smile on his face and a cold look in his eyes. On the other hand, Jade was still kneeling on the ground. Her face was white with fear and her body trembled.Meanwhile, Marcus was so nervous that his heart was about to beat out of his chest.“Alright, I agree to help you. I will be there when the time comes for the Dragon Boat Fighting Competition!”Having said that, Tyr walked away without turning back. Long after he had left, Jade finally sighed in relief. Her body was covered in sweat.“Jade, what does Mr. Summers have to do with the Summers family in the north? Why did he have such a big reaction when you mentioned the Five Valiant Generals of the Summers family in the north?” asked Marcus.Jade turned around, looking gloomily at Marcus. “Big Brother, I’m going to repeat what I said before. It’s better if you know less about certain things, unless you are not afraid of dying!”Shuddering, Marcus dropped the subject, not daring to a
Although Jacob’s face had turned red while he stood nearby, he did not have the courage to say anything in his own defense. Paul was right. If a family depended on a woman, what kind of family was that?Six years ago, when something major happened to Winifred, things would not have been so terrible for their family if Jacob had been more courageous. For the past six years, Winifred and Blair had to suffer cold gazes and sarcastic remarks from the Zea family.Although Jacob felt very bad about it, he could not find the courage to challenge his own family. Therefore, he accepted everything bad which happened to and around him. Even his wife, Helen Cole, had a more unyielding personality than him.What kind of a man was he to not be able to protect his wife and daughter?It justified why Paul treated him so harshly as his father-in-law. Sometimes, even Jacob looked down on himself.“I’m going to watch the fighting competition on the flower boat,” said Paul, looking at Christine unhappily.
