Skylar scowled when he heard Francisâ account. It appears that Hanks and his troops did not heed my warnings. He must be sick of being alive.Before he could react, Lola grabbed his hand and said cheerfully, âDaddy is so awesome! Daddy is going to fight the bad guys again!âYulia asked worriedly, âWhoâs Hanks? Is he formidable? How confident are you in winning the match against him, Skylar?âThe man gave a weak smile. âA hundred percent confident.ââThatâs right! No one can defeat the God of War, not even a thousand, ten thousand men!â Francis nodded excitedly.Yuliaâs face lit up with anticipation. âLetâs agree to the match then! Iâm dying to see how good you are, Skylar!âSkylar had no choice but to accept the challenge. On one hand, he felt responsible for upholding the traditional martial artsâ reputation, and on the other, he did not want to disappoint Yulia and Lolaâs expectations.
He nodded his head and said to Francis, âWeâll head back to the martial arts gym with you after lunch to meet the instructor.ââThank you for your help, God of War! Itâs my treat today, eat to your fill!â Francis said exhilaratingly.An hour later, Francis boarded Skylarâs car and off they went to the martial arts gym.
Upon arrival, they saw a group of foreign men congregating at the doorstep. The most eye-catching of them all was Hanks, who stood at 6.5 feet tall. With his left and right arms bandaged and injured marks all over his body, he appeared particularly intimidating. Hanks was ordering his men to stand by as they prepared to storm the martial arts gym. Francis hissed, âHow dare they act so boldly at our place!â
Even though he was infuriated by their antics, there was a tinge of helplessness in his voice. He could not even beat Hanks, let alone the manâs coach. In addition, the men were all foreigners who could easily evade prosecution if they avoided committing murder or other serious crimes. Even if Francis filed a police report, the cops could only act as a middleman to appease both parties. It would only be a matter of time before the foreigners return and continue with the harassment.Francis felt a glimpse of hope when he recalled how Skylar had destroyed Hanksâ right arm with a single blow. Now that the God of War is here to help us, letâs see who gets the last laugh!The man hopped off the vehicle and walked to the martial arts gym. âStop it!â he yelled.Hanks turned around and chuckled when he saw that it was Francis. âYou are out here! I thought you were hiding like a loser inside the gym! I have run out of patience, old man. You need to get the lad to fight my coach today, or else, I swear Iâm going to burn down the martial arts gym.ââDo you miss me already? Are you itching for another beat up?â
Skylar, who was accompanied by Yulia and Lola, said coldly.Seeing Skylar once again brought back terrifying memories. Hanks shuddered as he felt a piercing pain on his right arm.Some of the men who had been pounding the door stopped immediately when they saw Skylar had arrived. They knew better than to offend their formidable enemy.Skylar walked up to Hanks and demanded, âI told you after your last defeat to get the hell out of my country. What are you still doing here? Is it true that all the foreigners have such thick skin?â
