Chapter 224
Kristian took a fierce swig from the liquor bottle.
Zakariah was rendered speechless by Kristianâs words.
He knewâ¦
Kristian was still resentful about the slap he had received before, especially since he had been driven out of the Zabels in front of everyone.
Kristian was right.
Zakariah was too concerned about saving face.
Martial arts competitions were always about stopping at the right point.
However, for the sake of pride, he did not intervene when the Ihara Martial Arts School broke the rules during the first match.
Due to his pride, even though he knew the Nihon competitors were ruthless, he allowed Skade to compete.
Had he put his pride aside and stopped the competition when the Ihara Martial Arts School broke the rules, Skade would not have participated in the second match and would not have been so gravely injured.
At that moment, Nash and Brian came down from upstairs.
Everyoneâs eyes were immediately on them.
Hera stood up and approached them, asking, âNash⦠how is Skade doing now?â
Nash showed a slight smile. âSheâs no longer in a life-threatening situation, but sheâll need some time to recover!â
Then, he turned to Brian. âFollow the prescription I gave you. Add the herbs to boiling water, let it simmer on high heat for 30 minutes, then add turtle shells and simmer on low heat for another 60 minutes before consuming!â
Brian held a prescription full of medicinal ingredients, nodding in response. âOkay, Iâll prepare the medicine nowâ¦â
Nash approached Hera, wiped away her tears, and softly asked, âGive me Biancaâs phone numberâ¦â
Hera did not ask why and quickly retrieved Biancaâs number for him.
Nash took out his cell phone and dialed Biancaâs number.
A man answered, his voice somewhat effeminate as he said, âBianca is training. She doesnât have time to answer calls!â
Nash inquired, âIs she at Neo Power Club?â
The man on the other end, noticing that a womanâs name was displayed as the caller ID but a man was speaking, asked, âWho are you?â
Nashâs voice grew colder. âAnswer my question!â
âWhoa now, little guy, youâre quite arrogant. I wonât tell you. Come and hit me if
With that, there was a sarcastic laugh.
âFine, wait for me.â
Nash hung up, took Heraâs car keys, and drove straight to Neo Power Club.
He left so hastily that Zakariah did not even have time to thank him.
you can!â
Neo Power Club was located in Downtown Jonford in an 18-story commercial building.
Inside, it was filled with gym equipment with punching bags hanging from the ceiling.
In the center was a large octagon cage.
Bianca, in boxing attire, was practicing with a muscular man inside the cage.
Every so often, the manâs gaze would drift toward the contours of Biancaâs body.
Noticing his wandering eyes, Bianca sped up her punches, with the final blow landing squarely on the manâs face.
âOuchâ¦â
The muscular man clutched his nose with a painful scream.
Bianca, taking off her boxing gloves, threw them at him. âIf you look again, donât ever come back here!â
Exiting the cage, a red-haired woman chewing gum handed her a bottle of mineral water.
âBianca⦠a young man was looking for you just now!â
A man, effeminately dressed in womenâs boxing attire and wearing makeup, spoke in a feminine voice.
Bianca inquired, âWho was it?â
The effeminate man said, âI think the caller ID was Hera, but it was a young man who spoke⦠Ack!â
Before he could finish, his ear was suddenly twisted by someone.
Turning to see the person responsible, he shouted, âWho are you?!â
Nash slapped him to the ground. âDidnât you ask me to come here and hit you?â
Recognizing the manâs distinct voice, Nash immediately identified him upon arriving at the club.
The effeminate man covered his face and began to cry. âHelp⦠Heâs attacking me⦠Bianca, please teach him a lesson!â
âCoach Calcraft, so itâs really youâ¦â
A rare smile appeared on Biancaâs normally cold-face.
Nash nodded. âRegarding this afternoonâs boxing challengeâ¦
