Chapter 793
Sean said, “Not bad, kid. I won’t go easy on you.”
Aria replied. “That’s for the best.” Then she rolled her neck and stepped back with her right foot.
Sean thought, This girl is definitely a pro! Just in case he hurt Aria, he held back, using only seventy percent of his strength as he aimed a punch at Aria’s face.
Aria twisted to the side, caught his wrist, and drove her knee up toward him in one smooth motion.
Sean used her momentum to flip in the air, landing with a swift kick aimed at Aria’s waist.
Aria lashed out with her leg, catching his ankle with a sharp kick.
Both of them stepped back at the same time.
Someone exclaimed, “Damn, Aria’s got some skills. Mr. Lewis isn’t getting the upper hand.”
Another said, “Mr. Lewis’s arms are almost as thick as Aria’s legs. There’s no way she can beat him. He must be going easy on her.”
One shouted, “Mr. Lewis, no holding back.”
A sharp-eyed man said, “Aria’s not weak. She might actually beat Mr. Lewis.”
Someone nearby immediately shot back, “Are you dreaming?”
The man said, “I’m just being honest here. You guys can root for Mr. Lewis, but I can’t cheer for Aria?”
A burly man snorted, “Come on, admit it-you’ve got a thing for Aria. Besides, she’s already got a boyfriend.”
The man shot to his feet, fuming. He said, “Don’t go judging me with your dirty mind. I just admire Aria, that’s all.”
The burly man said, “Alright, if you say it’s just admiration, then fine. Let’s make a bet. If Mr. Lewis wins, you have to do whatever I say for the next month.”
The man asked, “What if Aria wins, then?”
The burly man scoffed, “If Aria wins, I’ll do as you say.”
The man said, “Bring it on.”
Slowly, the viewing room turned into a makeshift casino. Some people were betting money, others were wagering items, and a few even made bets on who would have to call the other “dad” if they lost.
But everyone was betting on Sean to win.
Those who couldn’t agree on the terms couldn’t place their bets. Everyone was arguing at the top of their lungs, and the whole place was in chaos.
Fillip clapped his hands over his ears, grumbling, “So noisy, so noisy, it’s driving me crazy.”
The leader barked, “Enough. Quiet down and watch the match.”
1/2
The room finally fell silent.
By now, Aria and Sean had already traded more than a dozen blows.
Seeing that Aria was holding her own, Liz cheered loudly from the sidelines, “Go, Aria. Take down Mr. Lewis. You’ll be my
idol.
Sean threw a punch, and instead of dodging, Aria took it head-on. Both of them stepped back again.
Sean asked cautiously, “You’re not giving it your all, are you?”
Sean was testing Aria, and Aria was testing Sean right back.
Aria shot back, “Neither are you, Mr. Lewis.”
Sean couldn’t help but grin. He said, “Alright then, this time I am going all in. Hope you are too.”
