Charming Lady Hard To Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 47

Nora looked around the place after she entered.The Quinn School of Martial Arts was located in the heart of New York.

The fact that they could take up such a large building for their martial arts gym in a place like this went to show just how deep and rock-solid a background the Quinn School of Martial Arts had.

The disciples in the gym were divided into several classes and were currently shouting energetically as they trained.

Which part of it even looked like the 'withered and dying out' state that the old man had claimed it was? Thus, upon hearing him trying to trick her again, Nora picked at her ears and said, "Tell me what the secret is and I'll decide after that.’ 

Quinn was at a loss for words.

Everyone else was begging to be taken as disciples, so why was it simply so difficult for him to find a successor? He had finally found that woman's daughter after so much trouble and on top of that, she was even a talented girl, yet all she did was sleep! Fortunately, these two children inherited her good physique.

Quinn's gaze flicked over to Cherry and he thought of Pete, who was in the martial arts gym, again.

To be honest, it was true that the Quinn School of Martial Arts’ style suited boys better.

After all, there was no one else who would be as crazy talented as little Nora.

After weighing the pros and cons, he suddenly realized that taking Pete as his disciple might actually seem like a better deal? And a safer one? Thus, Quinn coughed and said, "Forget it, I'm not telling you anymore”

 Nora just knew this would be the case.

After that, she accompanied Quinn to the inner courtyard where he lived.Quinn was wearing a white martial arts uniform.

Despite being advanced in years, he was thin and energetic.Although his voice was rough, there was a sense of careful attentiveness within.

If not, he wouldn't have become a master of the art, either.

When the two entered the inner courtyard, Quinn looked at her, stretched out his hand, and gestured at her.

"Come on , let's see if you've made any progress lately?"

As he spoke, Quinn went on the offensive.Nora stepped back quickly and evaded the attack.

Then, she counterattacked and started to spar with Quinn.

Every move and every action carried a subdued but sharp and fierce momentum.

The pair had a good time sparring.

Toward the end, even Nora broke out in a light sweat and she felt refreshed all over.

After they were done with the sparring, Quinn loosened his wrist muscles and remarked, "To think you can attain a level of skill like this despite slacking off.You're a crazy one indeed.If you practice well, you'll definitely surpass me.’ 

Nora gave an "Oh"

and replied dispassionately, "I'll also be able to surpass you when I'm your age"

Quinn was rendered so speechless by her retort that he couldn't be bothered to be mad anymore.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help but ask persistently, "You really don't intend to have Cherry pick up martial arts?"

Nora shook her head.

"There isn't any need for her"

She had practiced martial arts back then in order to train and strengthen her body.

However, Cherry was healthy and had always been strong and sturdy since she was a baby.

Besides, Cherry was a little princess.

The way her aunt raised her had turned her into a very delicate little girl who couldn't take any bit of discomfort at all.

If Nora made her practice martial arts, she would probably burst into tears and start wailing.

So, why bother? Seeing how stubborn she was, Quinn could only give up.

He complained, "Why do you also have your mom's temperament?"

Her mom...Nora's interest was suddenly piqued.

She asked, "Old man, do you know my mother? Can you tell me about her?"

Quinn stroked his white beard and smiled as he replied, "Your mom...She's a legend in New York!"

Nora was taken aback.

Speaking of your father, he's a typical male chauvinist pig.

Your mom was so picky her entire lifetime, so why did she marry a scumbag like him in the end?"

Nora had no words to that.

She was also just as puzzled.

"We digress.Anyway, the head of the Smiths at that time was a very ambitious man.With him leading the family, the Smiths nearly managed to surpass the Hunts.But when your mom went missing later, he fell into an irreversible slump.This stabilized the situation, and the Smiths and the Hunts became equally ranked again.After that, when Justin Hunt took over the family, he led the Hunts to completely surpass the Smiths and become the veritable No.1 again."

Quinn shook his head.

"That kid from the Smiths is considered your elder.After he retired, he got a nephew of his to lead the Smiths.He also remains unmarried even now’ Nora was astounded by what she heard.

"My mom had indeed let him down.’ Quinn strongly agreed with her.

Nora suddenly asked, "What's his name?"

Quinn smiled and answered, "lan!"

lan Smith? She suddenly thought of the company that her mother had left behind.

Its name was Idealian Pharmaceuticals...

Then, Quinn spoke again.

"By the way, I heard that he became seriously ill recently.It seems that he won't be able to live past this year.What a shame.He was quite the hero back then.’

 After he finished, Quinn stood up and said, "Alright, you can rest here for a while.I'll go and take a look at what the two children are doing"

He had spotted Cherry and Pete secretly meeting up just now.He was itching to hurry up and take Pete as his disciple.

After Quinn left, Nora sat there and thought carefully about her mother's past.

However, she suddenly realized something with a start.

The two children? Who was the other one apart from Cherry? She stood up abruptly and walked toward the martial arts gym at the front.
