At Williams Corp., Sylvester was chatting with Lucas.Sylvester smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry, Lucas. It's not that my little sister didn't want to accept your flowers, but she's already married."He understood Lucas's intentions. A bouquet of roses had already conveyed everything."What?" Lucas exclaimed. "Vee's married? Sylvester, you're messing with me, right? How could your family not have publicly announced such a significant event?"Sylvia was the cherished gem of the Williams family, receiving abundant love and attention from her kin. If she had married, the Williams would have surely marked the occasion with a grand celebration, promptly informing families like the Pettersons.Today, Lucas stood at the entrance of Williams Corp. with a bouquet, hoping to make a favorable impression on Sylvia. However, he had never anticipated hearing such news.Sylvester smiled and said, "It happened three months ago, Lucas. Let's not inquire further."Lucas sighed regretfully. "I wonder w
"See? I told you." Sylvia raised her head and smirked as she looked at Brook. "Alright, alright. I'll make the arrangement for you," Brook said helplessly. He had assumed he would escape her torment when Sylvia became Williams Corp.'s CEO, but it only worsened. She nearly ruined his significant life event."Thanks, Brook." Sylvia stood up, saying, "I'll inform Sylvester and have him step in as CEO for a few days."-At Sylvester's office.Lucas' eyes visibly lit up upon seeing Sylvia was approaching."Hello, Lucas," Sylvia greeted Lucas and then turned to her brother. "Sylvester, I'm also planning to participate in underground matches. You'll have to take care of the company for a while.""Alright." Sylvester nodded.He did not have as much on his plate as Brook and also understood why Sylvia was getting involved in underground matches.He supported her decision. After all, Brook had connections in the underworld. If he could not handle such a small matter, then he might as
Everyone watched the ring with bated breaths. The opening bell had already rung, but neither of the fighters had made a move.The male fighter chuckled. "Beauty, you should go home. This isn't a place for women. I'll feel sorry for you if you get hurt."He was not one of Brook's or Big Sis' fighters. Otherwise, he would not have spoken this way.Sylvia looked at him coldly and replied, "Why can't women come to a place where men can?"Upon hearing that, the male fighter laughed. "What? Are you planning to visit places like the Paradiso too?"Sylvia was infuriated. "You're asking for it!"The Paradiso was a place where men went to seek pleasure, and women who visited were usually there for only one thing.Without further ado, Sylvia launched an attack.The male fighter sneered, believing a woman like Sylvia couldn't possibly harm him. He felt lucky to have encountered such a pretty woman today. As he daydreamed, Sylvia closed in on him."Don't blame me, cutie pie!"He casua
Furthermore, Sylvia found herself up against a highly skilled Muay Thai fighter. Blocking each strike sent sharp pain shooting through her hands.When the Muay Thai fighter unleashed a powerful elbow strike, Sylvia reacted swiftly, using both her hands to protect herself.Still, the impact sent her tumbling several meters away, her arms tingling with numbness.As the Muay Thai fighter charged toward her, Sylvia urgently cried out, "Stop! I surrender!"The crowd was taken aback. They had never seen a female fighter before, especially one who willingly surrendered. This day was filled with unexpected surprises."You think you can just stop whenever you want?" The Muay Thai fighter sneered and launched another fierce attack.Sylvia struggled to defend herself. She was pushed back and even took an elbow strike to her back.-At the locker room.Eric shouted furiously, "What?! She already surrendered! How can he still continue the fight?"The coach explained, "In principle, he can
The crowd watched the confrontation with held breaths.Eric had defeated Tiger's fighter. Despite the fighter's advantage, those in the know recognized Eric's dominance.As Eric launched his counterattack, his opponent had no chance to fight back. How could Tiger not feel humiliated?In the past, even Big Sis would not dare to offend Tiger. Despite her power in the Salt City underworld, she was still beneath Tiger. Even Brook had to show respect to Tiger.Even if Big Sis did not know that Eric was Sylvia's husband, she would not easily yield to Tiger. "Tiger, there are no specific rules in freestyle, so how can you say the rules were broken? Besides, is there any specific rule in the arena that forbids Eric from participating in the fight?"Tiger's face sank. Big Sis was right.In freestyle matches, the sole rule was the prohibition of weapons. Apart from that, there were no other regulations.Many people agreed with this. Big Sis appeared to be taking advantage of a technical
The crowd erupted in cheers.Although Eric's performance was impressive, many doubted his ability to match the top-tier fighters, especially since he had to face two opponents at once. Was he courting trouble by taking on both?Sylvia grew anxious and said, "Let's go home! There's no need to fight!"Eric shook his head. "Don't worry. It's just half an hour. I think I can do it. If you don't let me fight this battle, I won't be able to calm my anger."Reluctantly, Sylvia left the ring. She knew that she was the one who had put Eric in this situation, yet he had to bear the burden.As she watched the two fighters enter the ring, her heart clenched. Could Eric really endure for half an hour? After all, he had only been training in martial arts for three months.Eric's expression turned serious as he faced the two formidable fighters.He didn't know how long he could hold up against them, but he was determined to give it his all. Otherwise, he wouldn't last a second.Little did he
Tiger's face sank. It seemed he had underestimated Eric. Meanwhile, the fierce battle raged on. Eric had endured two powerful elbow strikes to his back, leaving him gasping for breath.His opponent had also received numerous punches to his shoulder, temporarily halting his ability to fight.Following yet another elbow strike, Eric abruptly pivoted. The second fighter was just inches away, their proximity preventing effective attacks from either side.But Eric had a trick up his sleeve.With a swift motion, he thrust his palm into his opponent's chest, propelling him backward with astonishing force. The crowd erupted in amazement.Less than a minute had passed since the fight began. Despite receiving several elbow strikes, Eric had managed to incapacitate one opponent and repel the other!"Palm strike?" Tiger exclaimed as he leaped to his feet.Eric had shown his boxing, Krav Maga, and now palm strike skills, using them to fend off one of the fighters, despite facing two oppone
There remained 28 minutes on the clock. Eric glanced at the two fighters and let out a breath. Despite having an advantage, he was far from his best. Except for his head and legs, his body throbbed with pain.After assessing the situation, he understood the need to end this fight swiftly before he collapsed.The two fighters appeared to see through Eric's intent and stood side by side. What they didn't realize was that they had already lost."Bring it on!" Eric called out. He assumed a Muay Thai stance and focused on the two formidable opponents.Both fighters exchanged glances and charged at Eric once more. Tiger had given them an order: defeat Eric within half an hour, no matter the cost.However, their efforts not only failed to bring him down but also drained their strength. They worried that they might not make it back to report to Tiger unless they gave their all.As they moved, Eric reacted swiftly, though a bit slower. His attack reached them first, stunning the entire
