Moreover, could someone like Zacharias, who sat in the office year-round, really
fight?
It was not that Shirley was overly confident, but under her father's training, she
had indeed reached a certain level of standard.
Zacharias seemed persuaded by his nephew. He stood up and unfastened the
buttons of his waistcoat with his long fingers, revealing a white shirt and a pair of
black pants underneath. He emanated a refined and gentlemanly aura.
Imogen, would you be willing to spar with me?” Zacharias walked toward the
door. Shirley didn’t expect Zacharias to actually want to spar with her. As his
bodyguard, she couldn't refuse his request..
“Don't be afraid, Pretty. My uncle can’t beat you. Go ahead!” Tony shouted from
the side.
“I'm willing.” She nodded. Corinne, who was in the kitchen, overheard the
conversation outside. It caught her attention, and she felt a bit anxious. She also
wanted to participate in this close combat with Zacharias.
Unfortunately, she was in the midst of preparing dinner, so she could only feel
frustrated.
,The evening sun sank behind the mountains while leaving a faint afterglow that
bathed the garden in a soft yellow light. Zacharias stood under a lamp while
cracking his knuckles, making a crisp sound.
Only now did Shirley feel the oppressive aura emanating from this man. She
thought he was just a high-level politician sitting in an office, but unexpectedly, he
exuded a burst of strength. It seemed like he had been disguising himself all
along; at this moment, his gaze revealed a beast-like brutality beneath the
cultured exterior.
She immediately heightened her alertness. This was not an opponent who was
easy to deal with. She had underestimated this man just now, and now she had
to focus her energy on handling him.
“Imogen, let's begin!” Zacharias called out to her. Since he invited her to make
the first move, she didn't hold back. She clenched her fist and assumed an
attacking stance.
As her fist moved toward the man’s face without holding back, his brows
furrowed, and he skillfully blocked the attack with his arm. The rebounding force
made her realize once again that this man wasn't a kitten but a wild beast.
Zacharias swiftly caught Shirley's wrist, and she responded with a swift kick,
which made her body perform a stylish and agile 360-degree turn. Tony, on the
side, was left in awe.
“Wow! That's so cool! Go for it!” He cheered Shirley on and hoped his uncle
would show some impressive moves.
Unfortunately, all of Shirley's kicks were deftly blocked by the man. Shirley's
aggressiveness surged as she was stimulated by this. Under the lamplight,
Zacharias’ lips curved into an amused smile. It seemed like he had angered the
kitten. Shirley felt tense, and each move she struck became sharper. Despite the
tension, he skillfully parried each move without losing composure. He even
seemed to deliberately go easy on her while maintaining a sense of control.
Shirley sensed the man’s strength was still concealed to some extent, although
she also didn’t unleash her full potential. She knew this was just a friendly match,
so it was better to stop at a certain point.
At that moment, due to a problem with the quality of her high heels, the sound of
heels breaking echoed when she stepped back.
She immediately stumbled backward and there was a rockery pool with a sharp
stone right behind her.
“Ah! Uncle Zacharias! Watch out for the sharp stone, Tony noticed and yelled.
