Arthur gazed at Philip’s stern face and didn’t hesitate any longer. Turning to Apollo, who was sitting on the couch, he said, “Let’s see what you’ve got.”

He felt a twin

of discomfort as he said this, as if he were intimidating a child.

It’s not a fair fight: it’s one–sided aggression!

Oh, well. I can’t disobey the commander’s orders….

I’ll just stop when I have the upper hand. He’s just a kid.

Milly had been living with the Burnetts for a while now and was familiar with Arthur, so she was surprised to see Philip letting Arthur spar with Apollo. Her eyes widened in shock.

“Grandpa, should we just forget about this?”

Philip remained calm, his expression unchanging as he fiddled with the beads in his hand. “If the kid wins, I’ll let him carry the Burnetts‘ last name.

“When you start school, I’ll take care of him and guide him. What do you think?”

Milly listened to Philip’s words, biting her lip and remaining silent.

The conditions were indeed appealing. If Apollo had Philip’s protection, even if he was different from everyone else, no one would dare say anything to him.

But she still felt uneasy….

“Grandpa, Apollo is still young and hasn’t received any training. He can’t control his emotions yet. If they really fight, I’m worried something might happen

Philip hadn’t responded yet when Arthur spoke up to reassure her, ‘Don’t worry, Ms. Burnett. I’ll make sure to hold back and not hurt this young boy.”

Milly was speechless.

I’m not worried about Arthur hurting Apollo; I’m worried about Apollo harming Arthur!

Never mind. The conditions are indeed good. It’s a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity. I’ll just pay attention and intervene if things get out of hand.

Thinking about this, she turned to Apollo with a serious expression.

“Apollo, remember to stop when I say so. Don’t kill, okay?”

Apollo looked puzzled and tilted his head. “Ah–woo?”

“Just knock him down like you did that big black dog earlier. As soon as you do that, you have to stop fighting, okay?”

Apollo’s bright eyes sparkled as he nodded enthusiastically. “Ah–woo!”

“Ah–wool”

Apollo stood up and walked towards Arthur at Milly’s orders, but when he turned around and faced. Arthur, his eyes flashed with impatience.

Arthur felt a shiver run down his spine at the intensity of those red eyes, which reminded him of the Wolf King he had encountered when he was on a mission a long time ago

He cleared his throat and composed himself before looking down at Apollo’s small form. “Don’t be scared. The commander just wants to test your strength. I’ll let you make three moves first. After that, I’ll attack.”

Apollo’s eyebrows furrowed in annoyance as he thought Arthur was really noisy!

Apollo’s eyes seemed to glaze over, his face a mask of calmness as he gazed at Arthur with an intensity that bordered on unsettling. Before Arthur could react, Apollo had already taken him down in a flash, his grip on Arthur’s neck like a vice.

The whole encounter was over in three seconds.

Philip barely had time to lift his tea cup before the fight concluded.

The living room fell silent, as if time itself had stopped.

The only people looking somewhat normal were Milly and George, who knew the truth about Apollo’s abilities.

“Ah–woo, ah–woo… Apollo’s eyes shone with excitement, as if he was gloating about following Milly’s instructions to the letter.

Milly’s lips curled into a smile, despite knowing it wasn’t the right time to praise him. Still, she couldn’t help but acknowledge Apollo’s enthusiasm, so she gave him a genuine thumbs–up. “Good job, Apollo!”

Apollo’s eyes lit up at Milly’s praise, and he beamed with joy, bobbing his head up and down. “Ah–woo!”

In contrast to the happy scene, Arthur seethed with anger, his face darkening with each passing second.

He slapped the floorboards in frustration, panting heavily. “No way! This one doesn’t count! I let him make three moves first, Commander! This round doesn’t count!”

Philip regained his composure, and he stroked his nose, still trying to process what had just happened. He figured his eyesight was failing due to his age.

I didn’t even see what happened!

As he thought this over, he nodded slightly. “That’s right… Arthur did let him make a few moves first. Let’s try again. Arthur, you don’t need to go easy on him now.”

“Yes, Commander!”

Hearing Philip. Milly pulled Apollo back up to his feet, cautioning him, “Apollo, be careful later, okay?”

Arthur had underestimated Apollo earlier. As a special operative, he might defeat Apollo if he fought him seriously.

Apollo’s eves were wide as he listened to Milly’s warning. It wasn’t clear whether he understood. “Ah–woo…

The two of them faced off once more for the second round.

Philip was more alert this time, his eyes fixed intently on the two fighters without touching his tea. He didn’t want to miss anything.

Arthur was just as focused, his expression cold and serious.

But Apollo was still unfazed, his usual calm demeanour unwavering. Suddenly, he puckered up and took off like a shot.

Two seconds later…

Arthur found himself being tackled again, with Apollo grabbing his neck, this time within only two

seconds.

Arthur began to question his own identity and reality. Who am I? Where am I? Why am I seeing the familiar ceiling again?

Philip’s jaw dropped once more in shock… Am I really going blind? How could I not have seen Arthur attack?

The only one enjoying himself was Apollo, who rode Arthur like a bucking bronco while gazing at Milly with wide eyes and a happy smile, howling, “Ah–woo, ah–wool”

Milly smiled awkwardly and gave him another thumbs–up. “Wow, Apollo, that’s impressive

Apollo’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he climbed up from the ground like a puppy playing fetch. He seemed to have discovered a new game and let out a delighted howl as he kicked Arthur, who was on the ground. “Ah–woo, ah–woo…

He was eager to make Arthur get back up and continue fighting.

This is great! Every time I knock him down. Milly will praise me….

I can play this game all day long!
