Charlie could see that this Thai female boxer had very fast punches. Moreover, she was shorter than Charlie by 10 cm. With her agile body and petite overall body structure, her lower body was more stable. Moreover, this Thai female boxer was very smart. She not only knew her lower body was her advantage, but she also recognized that Aurora’s advantage was her upper body. As such, she often launched attacks with her lower body.Since the opponent had come up and was launching attacks swiftly, Aurora could only focus on blocking, and the whole game was quite embarrassing. In the first round, the opponent had significantly more effective hits as compared to Aurora. After one round, the opponent was in the lead by a stretch.During the short break, Aurora’s coach hurriedly gave her some tactical guidance near her ear. After a short break of a few minutes, the game immediately entered the second round.Once round two had begun, Aurora changed her strategy. She initiated attacks against t
After listening to what Charlie had said, Aurora looked at him with joy and emotionally shouted, “Master Wade!”After she had finished speaking, she continued shyly, “Master Wade, I’m sorry for letting you see such a joke!”Charlie comforted her and said, “No worries. It’s normal to not find your rhythm at the start. If you carefully analyze the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses and choose a suitable strategy, you will make a comeback and prevail in the end.”Aurora nodded her head and sincerely said, “I know, Master Wade. Thank you for your guidance!”At that moment, the coach next to Aurora looked at Charlie in dissatisfaction and spoke, “What are you blindly commanding her to do here? Do you even know Sanda? Aurora is in the most critical moment now! If she can’t redeem herself in this third round, she will most likely lose! You are still giving her poor ideas at this time, aren’t you intentionally harming her?!” Charlie calmly explained, “I’m merely telling her the truth. It i
Charlie nodded and said, “If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”“Good!” Coach Zavier sneered and replied, “Let’s see. I will wait here to see how Aurora loses this game!”After speaking, he walked straight to the audience seat, found an empty seat, and sat down. With his arms folded in front of his chest and looking on, he recognized Aurora in his heart. She would surely lose this game. Charlie ignored him and spoke to Aurora softly, “Don’t be nervous later. Just follow what I’ve said. I believe that you will be able to defeat this opponent.”Aurora nodded. With a pitiful look, she lamented, “Master Wade, Coach Zavier has left. I don’t have a coach anymore. If I win this game, I might need to fight a few more matches. Can you be my coach?” Without any hesitation, Charlie said, “No problem. From now on, I’m your coach.”Aurora became emotional, and she cheerfully exclaimed, “Great! During matches, I will call you Coach Wade!”Charlie laughed and said, “You can call me whatever
Coach Zavier looked on from the side. As he saw Aurora passively defending and being beaten continuously, he sneered.To him, Aurora’s tactic was simply the weakest of the weak.Since the opponent’s attack toward the lower body was swift and the upper body strength was inferior, she should’ve focused on striking the opponent's upper body just like how the opponent had fiercely attacked her lower body.This way, she could’ve found the breakthrough and reversed the situation in the blink of an eye.This was also a traditional thought among many coaches. However, this was also the main reason why many coaches couldn’t be top coaches, and even when they were players themselves, they couldn’t become top players.From Charlie’s point of view, whether it was a battle between two armies or two people, the best and most stable way was to take away the enemy’s trump card.Just like in a war, if the opponent’s ace master was defeated, the opponent’s strength would not only weaken, but the milita
At this time, he could not help but feel very regretful.Aurora was about to advance to the quarter-finals, but he had fallen out with her.This way, if she achieved better results in the match, it would not have anything to do with him anymore.At this time, Aurora changed her fighting style. She was no longer constantly defending herself and retreating, but she was now proactively launching a series of attacks on the opponent.Since the opponent’s right leg was injured, her performance was already greatly affected. Now that she was being chased and attacked by Aurora, every step she took would cause piercing pain in her right leg.Moreover, her right leg had already become a burden and could no longer keep up with the rest of her body now. This not only made it very difficult for her to defend herself and dodge Aurora’s attacks, but it was also very difficult for her to counter-attack.Aurora’s series of attacks hit her opponent’s body continuously.The Thai player who had b
With Aurora’s victory, this feisty young lady had officially entered the quarter-finals of the International University Combat and Fighting Championship.This was Aurora’s best score and performance in the International University Combat and Fighting Championship.When the championship had been held in Canada last year, Aurora had also specially traveled all the way there to compete in the championship. However, at that time, she had failed to qualify for the groups, and her final overall ranking was 30th.This time, Aurora had already achieved an unprecedented breakthrough.After the referee announced her victory, Aurora shook hands with the Thai player. After that, the two girls hugged each other briefly.Very soon, Aurora turned around and ran toward Charlie in a hurry. As soon as she came to Charlie, she happily jumped up into his embrace.“Master Wade, thank you so much!”Aurora wrapped her arms around his neck and continued hugging him like a baby koala. She was extremely
Adam gave her a thumbs up before he praised her, “Sister, you were really great during the last round! When I saw that you did not have the upper hand in the first two games, I thought that you were going to lose for sure!”Graham also smiled and said, “That’s right, Aurora. Your dad also broke out in cold sweat because of you just now!”Aurora replied shyly, “It’s all thanks to Master Wade’s reminder. Otherwise, I would have really lost the match…”As she spoke, Aurora embraced Charlie’s arm affectionately as she said, “Master Wade is also going to be my coach in the future!”“Ah?!” Graham was shocked when he heard that Master Wade had already become his daughter’s new coach. Although he was very excited, he asked with a nervous expression on his face, “How could you joke like that? Master Wade manages so many important things every day. How could he possibly have the time to get involved with this kind of child’s play with you? What if you cause any delay to Master Wade’s busines
In Aurora’s eyes, Charlie’s position was only second to her father, Graham.However, Coach Zavier did not know this.He simply felt that Charlie had managed to fool Aurora because of his blind luck. That was the reason why she believed and trusted in him.So, he snorted before he said disdainfully, “Aurora, don’t be fooled by this kind of young and inexperienced young man. This kind of person can only talk, but he has no real ability or capability at all. If you really allow him to become your coach, you will definitely not have any opportunity to win any of the subsequent matches in the future!”Aurora said with a little annoyance, “I forbid you to say that about Master Wade! Master Wade’s strength and power are beyond anything you can ever imagine! If it weren’t because of Master Wade’s reminder today, if I really listened to your tactical arrangements, I would have already lost the last match. It would have been completely impossible for me to advance to the quarter-finals now,
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
