“Wow, it’s amazing! Yes!” Seth was thrilled. He was like the rest of the spectators during the match, springing up and cheering with all his might. “That’s the way to go! Hook punch… Yes!”
The cheers were deafening. Marcus’ student won another round.
“Cordelia, does Marcus get a lot of cash prizes if his students keep winning these matches?”
Cordelia giggled so much she could hardly answer the question.
“What are you doing?” Linda was also laughing. “Are you switching lanes? Quitting medicine to be a trainer?”
“This looks great!” Seth looked around. “Look at these spectators. They came in with tickets. The boxers are paid whether they win or lose. Of course the trainer will get even more!”
“Goodness, Seth, I can see dollar signs in your eyes!” Linda widened her eyes.
Seth sighed intentionally, “How do I save up to get married otherwise?”
“What are you saying?”
Seth held back his laugh and kept shaking his head.
It caused Linda to laugh as well. She was going to punch him but suddenly froze when she turned around.
Cordelia paused, noticing that she did not look okay. “Linda, what’s wrong?”
Linda was silent as she kept staring in a certain direction. She slowly began to shake with a pale face.
Cordelia followed her gaze.
Not too far away from the spectator’s seats, someone was weaving through the crowd toward the fire escape.
Cordelia vaguely thought that the person looked strong with a chilling presence, just glancing at his back. She was startled. When she looked back at Linda, she seemed to understand something.
“Darling?” The man’s tone was flippant as he looked at Marcus coldly. “You got married? Looks like you’re living quite well!”
Marcus kept his gaze on the man without saying anything.
The man was thuggish, with a scar running across his brow. He wore a pair of black gloves despite the warm weather. The moment he looked at Cordelia, he saw Linda, who was beside her.
His expression changed then. The iciness in his eyes cracked like the frozen surface of the lake.
Linda kept her eyes trained on him like she had seen a ghost while she shook like a leaf.
“Linda…” Cordelia went up to hold her hand.
The man’s shock only lasted a moment before he recovered his aloofness. He looked disdainfully at Marcus with a smirk and flicked cigarette ash on him without a care.
