Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Shut Up!
Soren Sean and his two bodyguards suddenly emerged at the doorway.
The door had been deliberately kept open, as though intentionally awaiting his arrival.
This caused Soren Sean to feel somewhat taken aback.
I quickly got to my feet, stepped forward and said, "Nice to see you, Uncle Sean."
Soren Sean paid no attention to me and walked directly to settle onto the sofa. One of his bodyguards immediately lit a cigar for him.
Facing such a formidable figure, it was impossible not to feel anxious, but I did my best to stay composed.
Soren Sean drew on his cigar before speaking with indifference, "You were expecting me, weren’t you?"
"No, I wasn’t expecting you," I shook my head.
"I just happened to spot you through the window."
Soren Sean let out a laugh. He slowly rose, approached me, and asked directly, "What gives you the idea that you’re suitable for my daughter?"
I was taken aback.
This question was truly challenging for me to answer.
At this moment, I was completely unworthy of Mabel Sean.
Our social positions and backgrounds were vastly different.
I lapsed into silence and remained quiet for an extended period.
Soren Sean shook his head. He gradually stood and murmured, "It appears Mabel gave you too much credit."
"Uncle Sean," I finally found my voice.
I drew a deep breath and said, "I might be worthless right now, but allow me one year, and I’ll demonstrate that I’m suitable for Miss Sean."
"One year?" Soren Sean’s eyes narrowed before he spoke icily, "Why should I give you a year? What makes you believe you merit that much time?"
I met Soren Sean’s gaze and declared each word clearly, "I’m worth waiting for."
"Hahahaha!" Soren Sean erupted in hearty laughter.
"Young man, you’ve spent too long in River City, trapped in a narrow mindset! How much of the real world have you truly experienced?" Soren Sean spoke harshly.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Uncle Sean, given time, people transform completely! My accomplishments might seem trivial to you now, but no one can dismiss my potential!"
"Oh?" Soren Sean lifted his eyebrows.
He had been about to depart, but halted his movement.
"Don’t assume I’m ignorant about you," Soren Sean stated coldly.
"Your sole boasting right now is your fighting ability, correct?" Soren Sean narrowed his gaze, appearing to read right through me.
I didn’t dispute it.
As Soren Sean stated, presently, I could only depend on my martial abilities and training methods.
Observing this, Soren Sean scoffed, "Your fighting skills mean nothing to me! Any of my associates could eliminate you without effort!"
The moment he finished speaking, one of Soren Sean’s bodyguards stepped forward and spoke coldly, "I’m Roberts Joshua, Mr. Sean’s bodyguard."
After his introduction, Roberts Joshua gestured toward me with clear provocation.
I remained motionless.
I understood perfectly that I was no match for Roberts Joshua.
"What, too frightened to even try?" Soren Sean spoke harshly.
Upon hearing this, I instantly tightened my fist.
I fixed my gaze on Roberts Joshua before me, my eyes burning with determination!
Actually, I was also curious to discover just how formidable these so-called elite fighters truly were!
Seeing my response, Roberts Joshua smirked.
He beckoned toward me again, saying, "Display your finest techniques and show me what you’re capable of."
I took a deep breath, gathered the energy within me, and pushed my power to its maximum.
"Mr. Joshua, I must apologize beforehand," I said with some excitement.
"Roberts, exercise caution," Soren Sean warned at that moment.
Soren Sean felt somewhat conflicted. Ordinarily, he wouldn’t care if I was killed. However, this young man happened to be Mabel’s choice. If something truly befell me, his daughter might resent him forever.
Roberts Joshua nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Sean."
After responding, Roberts Joshua motioned toward me once more.
Without any delay, I shouted and lunged toward Roberts Joshua with my fists!
This strike was remarkably swift, and its force was beyond imagination! I nearly exhausted all my strength, determined to prove myself!
However, just as my fist was about to connect with Roberts Joshua, he evaded it effortlessly.
"How... how can this be!" My expression became terribly grim!
I hadn’t even witnessed Roberts Joshua’s defensive maneuver! That strike had seemed like a certain hit!
"Continue," Roberts Joshua said, his eyes filled with contempt.
I clenched my teeth, shouted, and attacked Roberts Joshua once more!
This time, I employed both hands and feet, achieving maximum velocity!
In an instant, I had delivered dozens of strikes!
However, what filled me with despair was that none of those blows even grazed Roberts Joshua’s garments, instead, they drained me nearly to exhaustion!
I panted heavily and sweat beaded on my forehead.
Meanwhile, Roberts Joshua appeared calm and collected.
"Hmph, is that your limit?" Roberts Joshua mocked.
"If this represents your peak performance, I recommend you surrender now," Soren Sean also spoke harshly.
"Your martial abilities... are barely noteworthy in the Capital City! Any well-dressed gentleman is infinitely superior to you!" Soren Sean declared!
My face became extremely dark. I ground my teeth, feeling profound frustration!
"Let’s continue!" I roared and rushed at Roberts Joshua again!
But the outcome remained identical. Regardless of my efforts, I couldn’t even touch a strand of Roberts Joshua’s hair!
Roberts Joshua stood there, arms clasped behind him, permitting me to assault him without retaliating!
"This is impossible!" I couldn’t stop myself from bellowing in fury!
I had known there was a difference between Roberts Joshua and me, but I hadn’t anticipated the difference would be so enormous!
"Pathetic, truly pathetic," Roberts Joshua evaded while shaking his head, making no attempt to conceal his disdain.
"Do you honestly deserve to have Miss Mabel wait for you with these abilities?" Roberts Joshua taunted.
"You should simply remain in your River City and behave yourself. Miss Mabel deserves someone exceptional," Roberts Joshua sneered.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, I bellowed. My entire body’s energy surged immediately, and I drove my fist toward Roberts Joshua’s face with a "bang"!
The abrupt acceleration completely surprised Roberts Joshua!
This blow struck Roberts Joshua’s face directly!
Roberts Joshua staggered backward, his expression showing both rage and shock!
Meanwhile, Soren Sean appeared mildly intrigued.
I stood at a distance, breathing hard.
I smiled and said, "So you’re not unbeatable after all...hehe..."
