Chapter 20
“You’re no lady, aren’t you? So how can a common lady like you flip a Beta like that?” He has a sly smile on his face while asking me questions like he is up for a game. He’s enjoying this for sure.
I just shrugged my shoulders and replied with a mysterious smile. I gestured my hand to make him come to me and start the spar, and my instinct didn’t fail me to trigger him.
“You better be ready, Miss.” He said and immediately ran in my direction to give me a flying kick which is too easy to dodge. Greco looked back with a vexed yet amused expression. Hmm, Fravis’s training back when I’m sneaking from the pack is not in vain. My reflexes become faster than usual, and I can feel it.
“Is that all you’ve got?” I told him without leaving any opening. I tried to punch him from his left and right angle, but his big hands instantly blocked both attacks. I turned around twice, trying to find an open area to attack, but all of them were being guarded as if we were now dancing with a hint of sparring.
“You need more practice, Krisna. That’s not going to pass.” He purposely told me to let my guard down, but unfortunately, I don’t care about those things and will only focus on what’s ahead of me.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Greco is behind me while he is holding both of my hands. We were dancing to the rhythm of tango at the moment when he told me that. To attack him is an open area, but I couldn’t find one, so I need to make one, right?
I smiled and scoffed at Greco, unbothered, and then I swayed once again then stomped on his foot with all my might. He screams out in pain, and that leaves too many spots unguarded. I took this opportunity to punch him in the face and kicked him all the way to the wall, but before he reached the wall, I ran to him and positioned myself at his back to kick him down the floor, pinning him while he was kissing the floor.
Just after a few seconds, he continuously tapped on the floor. “I give up, and I give up.” He said so. I immediately let go of my foot and brushed off the dirt on my clothes. Greco stood up from the floor and also began to brush off his clothes. “Woah, those moves are amazing,” he told me with a big smile on his face. His sweat is dripping from his forehead, but he is still looking expensive.”Friends?” He said as he once again stretched out his arms to shake hands with me.
We both laughed at each other because of what we had just done. It looks like we both enjoyed that spar, and I was also able to test my skills from the training. Maybe I improved even just a little.
I shook hands with him once again while we were still laughing together. “Yeah, friends. It’s nice to meet you too, Greco. That’s a nice spar.” I said while looking so relaxed.
“Indeed, it’s been a while.” He replied then after a while, and he continued to ask, “If you don’t mind me asking, what are you doing here with the girls who used to date Grant?” His forehead creased as if he was really curious to know.
I just shrugged off my shoulders with a smile of victory. “I’m not really sure why. Asthrid Olimps, the person I am working for, commanded me to check up on the venue. I had no choice, so I went here, but the girls were already in the corner when I got in here. Maybe they just really wanted to gang up on me?” I explained to him, and he just replied with a continuous nod.
“Maybe they’re threatened about your undying beauty?” He replied, which made both of us laugh once again.
“Undying beauty? Psh, where did you get that from?” I said with laughs between my lines. “By the way, I think I have to go because I need to go to Asthrid. She’s waiting for me and might transform into something scary if she doesn’t see me around her any time soon.”
Greco laughed at that statement, but she didn’t know that I was actually telling him the truth. “Did she do that to you?” He asked me, pointing and referring to the discoloration on my face that appeared from Asthrid’s slap earlier.
My hand automatically covered the bruise and just nodded at him. “If she is that cruel to you, why don’t you just run from the pack if you’re not safe, neither from inside the pack nor outside?” Well, I have already thought of that for quite some time, and that is the main reason why I got Fravis to train me how to defend myself, but of course, I can’t tell that to Greco. Things might just spread outside, which is just supposed to be within me and me alone.
“Well, I really have to go. I can’t stay here any longer. I’m really sorry but see you again soon, Greco. I had fun.” I finally told him as I ran to the doors to get out of the venue right away.
Asthrid must be going berserk right now since I feel like I’ve been out of her sight for a few hours, and she doesn’t like that at all. I am sure I took my time to check the venue, but I didn’t expect the mean girls and Greco to just come in my way and extend my investigation, right?
I had fun with the spar I had with Greco, though. Is that how much I have improved? Or is Greco not only giving out all he’s got? He must only be testing my skills without me knowing that he isn’t fighting back at all. Tsk, what was that? I feel like he scored on me with that one, huh? We’ll surely meet again.
