“Wow, it’s amazing! Yes!” Seth was thrilled. He was like the rest of the spectators during the match,
springing up and cheering with all his might. “That’s the way to go! Hook punch… Yes!”
The cheers were deafening. Marcus’ student won another round.
“Cordelia, does Marcus get a lot of cash prizes if his students keep winning these matches?”
Cordelia giggled so much she could hardly answer the question.
“What are you doing?” Linda was also laughing. “Are you switching lanes? Quitting medicine to be a
trainer?”
“This looks great!” Seth looked around. “Look at these spectators. They came in with tickets. The
boxers are paid whether they win or lose. Of course the trainer will get even more!”
“Goodness, Seth, I can see dollar signs in your eyes!” Linda widened her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeth sighed intentionally, “How do I save up to get married otherwise?”
“What are you saying?”
Seth held back his laugh and kept shaking his head.
It caused Linda to laugh as well. She was going to punch him but suddenly froze when she turned
around.
Cordelia paused, noticing that she did not look okay. “Linda, what’s wrong?”
Linda was silent as she kept staring in a certain direction. She slowly began to shake with a pale face.
Cordelia followed her gaze.
Not too far away from the spectator’s seats, someone was weaving through the crowd toward the fire
escape.
Cordelia vaguely thought that the person looked strong with a chilling presence, just glancing at his
back. She was startled. When she looked back at Linda, she seemed to understand something.
It was then that Linda suddenly got up.
“Where are you going?” Cordelia gave chase.
Linda did not say anything, sprinting toward that person. They went through the fire escape and a dim
hallway to arrive at the venue’s backstage area.
Cordelia panted. Just when she was going to ask about it, Linda stopped abruptly.
That man stood across Marcus outside of the changing room. The cool light of the fluorescent tube
illuminated the men’s sculpted faces.
Both of them had strong presences with equally cold and deep gazes. It was just that the unknown
man’s face seemed darker in expression.
“Darling…” Cordelia’s heart thumped.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man did not look kind. She was worried that Marcus would be caught at a disadvantage. Why did
Marcus know him, though?
Cordelia looked at him and then at Linda, her head a mess.
“Darling?” The man’s tone was flippant as he looked at Marcus coldly. “You got married? Looks like
you’re living quite well!”
Marcus kept his gaze on the man without saying anything.
The man was thuggish, with a scar running across his brow. He wore a pair of black gloves despite the
warm weather. The moment he looked at Cordelia, he saw Linda, who was beside her.
His expression changed then. The iciness in his eyes cracked like the frozen surface of the lake.
Linda kept her eyes trained on him like she had seen a ghost while she shook like a leaf.
“Linda…” Cordelia went up to hold her hand.
The man’s shock only lasted a moment before he recovered his aloofness. He looked disdainfully at
Marcus with a smirk and flicked cigarette ash on him without a care.
