Christoff feared no consequences as he provoked her with a taunting gaze. âIâve already done it, so what will you do about it?â
Before he could finish, Olivia had already launched an attack on him. However, he was on guard this time and did not give her an opportunity for a sneak attack.
He was far more skilled in martial arts than her, but he did not use all his strength. Rather than fighting, he seemed to be teasing her as he was always in control of the situation, which made her impossible to land a hit.
While tiring her out, he even had the leisure to taunt her. âHave you ever thought that maybe Iâve been going easy on you every time you mocked me?â
Olivia was pissed. âI donât need your mercy!â With that, she launched an even fiercer attack at him. Christoff became serious, and they continued to spar for another ten minutes. The fight ended with him finally gaining the upper hand as he pinned her down.
A crowd had gathered around to watch the commotion and spontaneously began applauding when the fight ended. âNo wonder heâs so confident in performing wire stunts. He has genuine martial arts skills.â
âAvery is so handsome. Not only is he talented in acting, but heâs also skilled in martial arts.â âYeah, itâs quite impressive for a newcomer to be able to do this.â
Olivia struggled. âLet me go!â Christoff chuckled and said, âAdmit that youâre no match for me and apologize, then Iâll let you go!â
âApologize? In your dreams!â As she spoke, she lifted her foot and stomped directly on his foot. As the proverb goes, âOnce bitten, twice shy,â he was wary of this move and easily avoided it. Consequently, Oliviaâs foot landed heavily on the ground, and a striking pain spread through her foot.
Christoff let go of her and teased with a smile. âThatâs quite a rough kick. I didnât expect you to be that harsh on yourself.â
Instantly enraged, she shoved him away and delivered a powerful kick with her long legs. As she meant to fight, her attack was not light. If he had not possessed any martial arts skills, he could have been seriously injured or even ended up coughing up blood.
Despite his martial arts skills, Christoff retreated several steps before he could stand firmly. He rubbed the spot where she had kicked him on his chest and glared at Olivia âYou certainly donât hold back.â
However, he deliberately chose not to dodge as he knew she was in a bad mood and needed to vent her frustration. She was also surprised as she knew he was skilled enough to bypass her kick effortlessly, yet he chose not to. Olivia stared at Christoff suspiciously. âWhy didnât you dodge?â
He approached with a smile. âWhatâs wrong? Do you feel sorry for kicking me?â Her momentary guilt disappeared as soon as she heard his teasing words. She sneered in response. âI donât feel sorry, just a little regretful.â
Christoff raised an eyebrow. âSo, you regret kicking me?â Olivia grinned while her eyes squinted. âI regret not kicking you more!â
He pointed at her in anger and was speechless for a moment. She gave him an eye roll. âFrom now on, stay away from me.â
With that, she walked into the studio. Christoff furrowed his brows as he watched her walking away. Why isnât she afraid at all?
âAvery, youâre so handsome.â A relatively unknown actress gazed at him with admiration. He glanced at her and gave a faint smile. As someone who had been in the entertainment industry for so long, he was all too familiar with what was going through her mind.
Just that... he was not interested in her. The one he was interested in happened to be the one who made him want to beat her up.
Christoff stroked his chin as he was reluctant to hit Olivia. He shifted his attention back to the actress and deliberately approached her. âWhich part of me do you find handsome?â
