-Julian continueed: “Knowing martial arts and being able to defend myself is better. So when I was a young child, my parents sent me to a martial arts school. My aptitude is excellent. I realized that martial arts are very effective after more than ten years of learning.
However, no matter how good my martial arts is, I have no chance of winning when I’m besieged by many people. I met a speeding gang that night.Ms. Caron, if you hadn’t passed by and rescued me, I would have been in trouble that night.
No matter what, Ms. Caron, you’re my lifesaver, but you have a high moral character and don’t need my repayment. I don’t want to owe you any kindness. I always want to repay you, so I want to go to your Caron family martial arts gym to learn from a teacher to pay more tuition as a way of repaying you.
Ms. Caron, I’m sorry, I lied to you.”
Kiera looked at him, and being looked at by her like this made Julian a little nervous, afraid that she would be angry at his concealment and deception.
And his explanation was still lying to her.
It was his new lies that let her know that he actually knew martial arts and that his skills were quite good.
“Mr. Bucham, you told me about the deception in the hotel. Are you using your friend’s story to test my attitude towards deception?”
Kiera was straightforward and not stupid.
When Julian said that, she didn’t think about him, but now, she couldn’t help but think about him.
He must have listened to her views on deception before he confessed that he knew martial arts.
It also happened that someone was robbing her and she was in danger, so he stepped in to save her, which revealed that he was good at boxing and kicking.
Julian blushed, “That’s right. Ms. Caron, you don’t like to deceive, I was thinking of telling you at the time, but I couldn’t open my mouth, just now I made a move in a hurry, and there was a breakthrough, and I told you about it come out.
Ms. Caron, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have lied to you.”
“But my part-time side job is a bit dangerous. Ms. Caron, you regard me as a friend. We get close. Maybe it will hurt you. Our side job makes it easy to offend people.”
Kiera: “…Smuggling? Money laundering or drug trafficking?”
Julian had a dark look on his face, “Ms. Caron, we don’t do anything illegal. Instead, we often assist the police in catching criminals.”
“Mr. Bucham, what kind of side business is your family engaged in?”
Seeing that Julian denied it, Kiera breathed a sigh of relief.
If the business run by Julian’s family was illegal, not only would she not make friends with Julian, but she would also report it.
