Before Daniel could finish his remark, Jessica twisted hard at his waist.
"Ouch!" Daniel yelped in pain.
"What was that for?"
"You dare call me 'woman'? Looks like someone's itching for a beating."
"Aren’t you a woman?"
"I'll kill you!" Jessica pinched Daniel's side again, causing another cry of pain from him.
Holding his gaze with her teasing smile, Jessica asked, "Can't I make decisions for you?"
"Of course you can," Daniel agreed without hesitation, wincing at the possibility of more pain.
...
On the outskirts of New York, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, lay an enclosed area previously used as a training ground and now owned by Martial Club United. It’s where the club's presidential elections were held, with competitions conducted on a stage twice the size of a football field.
After narrowly evading the initial assault, Woods's second strike almost hit. Ethan had no room to dodge and could only retaliate with a kick. But against Woods's quick claw, it was no match. The claw clamped onto Ethan's leg, then with a pull and twist...
Snap!
With a crisp break, Woods had snapped Ethan's leg. Ethan collapsed onto the stage, clutching his leg, howling in pain.
"Anyone else dares to challenge me?" Woods bellowed after delivering a chilling warning. Ethan was one of the top four in Martial Club United, yet Woods had broken his leg with a single move. Who would dare to follow that?
With Woods's strength, challenging him could spell death for anyone. Seeing no volunteers, Woods's swagger grew. "If you can't beat me alone, group up! I'll allow you to team up and challenge me! All of you Martial Club United weaklings, even a hundred of you couldn't face me. I can knock all of you down! If you're all cowards, if none of you dare face me, then I, Woods, will be your president. Henceforth, everyone in Martial Club United will follow my orders. Anyone who defies me will die!"
