âIf you lack confidence and competence, bulldoze your boxing club and stop wasting everyoneâs time. After all, people might choose the wrong gym.â
âHmph!â Trystan turned red with rage. âThatâs enough talking. How dare you say weâre incompetent!
Weâ ll fight right now if you dare!â
âFine! You canât intimidate me. Iâll get the ring ready. One of my people will fight one of yours in the ring. If you defeat her, Ill bulldoze my boxing gym immediately.â
Trystan and his gang were pleased with that. He said, âHow bold of you.
Itâs a deal. Who will you send into the ring?â
Ged looked at Bonnie and asked, âWill you please do the honors, Bonnie?â
âSure thing,â Bonnie agreed and entered the ring.
âWhat?â Trystan was confused before bursting out into laughter. "
You're asking an inexperienced girl to represent your gym? You must be trying to lose.â
The others joined in his laughter.
Ged confidently retorted, âLaugh while you can. You'll cry your eyes out soon enough.â
Trystan noticed his calmness and instinctively glanced at Bonnie, thinking, âSheâs almost as beautiful as an angel. Still, how can someone as delicate as her win against my men? This canât be real."
âStop mocking us and send your strongest fighter to the ring,â Trystan urged.
âThat won't be necessary. My weakest fighter is capable enough to take you all on.â Ged gave Bonnie a subtle look, silently apologizing to her.
â?âm sorry, Bonnie. I had to say that to rile them up."
She nodded at him to signal she knew what he was doing and did not mind.
Trystan shouted, âYou have balls for insulting us! You asked for it.
Jamal, youâre up!â
âT won't let you down.â Jamal balled his fists and jumped into the ring. "
You're pretty, little lady. My arms are twice the size of your calves. You should exit the ring while you can, or I'll destroy your delicate face.â
Bonnie replied indifferently , âStop wasting my time. Thereâs a lot of people down there.â
âThis bitch is insinuating she can take us all on alone!"
âYou might look cute, but you have a nasty mouth. It looks like Iâll have to go all out.â Immediately after, Jamal raised his fists and strode toward Bonnie.
âWait!â The sudden voice stopped Jamal.
âWho said that?â
Everyone shifted their gaze to Ged.
Trystan smirked, âWhatâs wrong? Are you worried your pretty lady will get hurt, or do you want to surrender already?â
âWho said anything about surrendering? Iâm pausing the fight because our deal isnât fair.â
âHow so?â
âI'd bulldoze my boxing gym if my fighter lost. What about you guys?â
Ged asked.
âHow can we possibly lose this fight?â Trystan felt good about his chances.
