âIâve gone too far?â
Theo Carter pointed at the flower petals and candles on the ground, furiously saying, âI put so much effort into this, prepared all these things, and now youâre telling me you have a boyfriend?
Vince Cooper, what am I to you in your heart?â
âProbably an idiot, right?â
A languid voice rang out, and everyone turned back, only to see a confidentÂlooking young man emerging from the darkness.
The man had a well-proportioned figure, with a sharply-defined face, especially those eyes, which drew all attention in an instant.
For some reason, even though they were several meters away, everyone could still see those eyes clearly, as if they were stars in the night sky, bright and profound.
Theo Carter was already seething with rage, and when he saw a stranger daring to mock him, he immediately became furious.
âWho the hell are you calling an idiot?â
âIâm talking about you. You know she doesnât like you, yet youâre delusional enough to think that you can win her over with this kind of stunt. If itâs not madness, what else could explain such a foolish act?â
Upon hearing this, Theo Carterâs face turned an ashen color, but he couldnât find the words to respond.
Because he was indeed thinking that.
He had figured making a grand gesture might move Vince Cooper.
Furthermore, Vince Cooper was shy, and if he confessed in front of so many people, she surely wouldnât have the heart to reject him.
Plus, he had already arranged with a few classmates beforehand; with them egging her on, Vince Cooper would definitely agree.
Once he got her to sleep with him, whatever her feelings, she wouldnât be able to leave him.
Theo Carterâs face looked extremely ugly, but he didnât want to lose face in front of Vince Cooper, so he endured and said, âListen, kid, this has nothing to do with you, so beat it.â
â Heh, youâ re wrong there.â
Greg Jensen smiled, glanced at Vince Cooper, then said, âYou confessing to Vince Cooper is indeed my business, because Iâm her boyfriend.â
Hearing Greg Jensen claim to be her boyfriend, Vince Cooperâs eyes lit up, and she immediately dashed out of the crowd and wrapped her arm around his.
âHoney, why did you only just arrive?â Vince Cooper said with a touch of grievance.
It was the first time Greg Jensen had been called âHoney,â especially in front of so many people, and he couldnât help but flush.
Looking down at Vince Cooper, he pretended to be displeased and said, âDidnât you say youâd go home after dinner? Why are you still out so late?â
âThey wouldnât let me go,â she replied.
Vince Cooperâs voice was sweet to the point of cloying, and her coquettish tone made a group of boys nearly drool.
âWho the hell are you?â
Theo Carterâs face darkened as if it could drip water, and he angrily said, âListen, kid, I donât care who you are, let go of her hand right now.â
Vince Cooper tilted her head back and said, âHoney, donât bother with him; letâs just go.â
âYeah.â
Greg Jensen gave Theo Carter a glance, wrapped his arm around Vince Cooperâs delicate waist, and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Theo Carter became enraged, bellowing, âIâm talking to you! Are you deaf?â
Greg Jensen paused in his tracks and coldly looked at Theo Carter, stating indifferently, âAre you talking to me?â
His chilling gaze was like two sharp swords, sending shivers down peopleâs spines.
Theo Carter instinctively took a step back, trying to appear tough as he said, âIâll tell you one more time to get lost.
From now on, you better not show up in front of Vince Cooper; sheâs my woman. If you dare to bother her again, Iâll cripple you!â
âKid, if you donât want to suffer, youâd better get lost. Our Brother Theo here is a blackbelt in Taekwondo.â
âThatâs right, daring to compete with Brother Theo for a woman? Are you looking to dig your own grave?â
Hearing his classmatesâ words, Theo Carter felt more confident and indifferently said, âKid, you still have a chance to get lost; Iâll make sure youâre all right.â
Vince Cooperâs expression changed, and worry crept onto her face as she whispered, âMr. Jensen, maybe you should go first. Theo Carter really is skilled.â
Greg Jensen scoffed and shook his head dismissively, âTaekwondo black belt? Whatâs that supposed to be? Is it better than our traditional martial arts?â His voice wasnât loud, but everyone present heard him clearly.
âAre you from the countryside or something? You donât even know what a Taekwondo black belt is?â
âA Taekwondo black belt is like your ancestor!â
âItâs ridiculous to compare traditional martial arts with Taekwondo; theyâre not even in the same league, you know?â
After a brief moment of astonishment, Theo Carter and the others immediately began cursing.
Greg Jensen had belittled the worth of a Taekwondo black belt; where would that leave them, the practitioners of Taekwondo?
âUngrateful fool!â
Theo Carter, far from angry, was pleased. He had been looking for a reason to deal with the kid, and his opponent had just presented him with an opportunity.
He urged his classmates on, âAiden, no need to waste words with him, just beat him up. Let him understand the might of our Taekwondo.â
âExactly, hit him, and let him realize that that trash traditional martial arts canât hold a candle to Taekwondo.â
Theo Carter and the others said, then whooshed forward and surrounded us.
Vince Cooper saw this scene, and her little face instantly turned pale. She lowered her voice urgently, âMr. Jensen, letâs hurry up and go.â
âItâs okay, leave it to me. You go stand over there.â
âButâ¦â
Vince Cooper wanted to persuade him further but was pushed to the side by Greg Jensen.
Seeing this, Theo Carterâs heart filled with glee and he charged at Greg Jensen. Before even reaching him, he leaped into the air, delivering a mid-air flying kick.
âHusband, be careful!â
Vince Cooperâs face turned ashen, and without thinking to correct herself, she outright called him husband.
Greg Jensen remained calm and collected, even finding the time to turn back and smile at her, then calmly took a step to the side.
What followed was a miraculous moment.
Greg Jensen had moved only a step but it was just enough to avoid Theo Carterâs kick. Without waiting for him to stabilize, he went straight into Theo Carterâs path.
In the astonished gazes of onlookers, Theo Carter was like a kite with its string cut, whooshing through the air and flying out.
Thud!
Theo Carter, like a rolling gourd, tumbled several times on the ground before staggeringly getting back up.
âTaekwondo black belts are indeed impressive; that fall was decidedly more agile than a normal personâs.â
âYou motherfâ¦â
Greg Jensenâs words were like a slap, smacking Theo Carter right across the face.
He turned red with furious embarrassment, yelling at a few classmates, âAiden, what the hell are you waiting for? Letâs get him together.â
âYeah, letâs do this!â
Those few boys suddenly woke up and swarmed towards Greg Jensen.
In an instant, whip legs, undercuts, whirlwind legsâvarious attacks rained down on him all at once.
âHeh, weak as chickens and dogs!â
Instead of retreating, Greg Jensen advanced, charging straight into the crowd. His body lightly swayed, dodging all attacks.
At the same time, his fists formed into a cone shape, accurately and unerringly hitting his opponents.
Armpits, chest, abdomenâeach targeted area was one of the human bodyâs most vulnerable points.
In the blink of an eye, the few boys were all lying on the ground, wailing in agony.
Hiss!
Seeing this scene, those boys who didnât know Taekwondo couldnât help but inhale a cold breath.
âHoly shit, is this guy that strong?â
âIs this traditional martial arts? Can traditional martial arts fight like this?â They instinctively doubted it. After all, in recent years, the reputation of traditional martial arts had been thoroughly tarnished by certain individuals. But the classmates lying on the ground and the wails still ringing in their ears unequivocally told them that everything they saw was real.
Traditional martial arts truly can fight!
The boys were dumbfounded, but the girls who had come with them had stars shining in their eyes.
âWow, heâs so handsome!â
âWhy do I feel that this traditional martial arts thing looks way cooler than Taekwondo?â
âItâs because the person is handsome, what does it have to do with traditional martial arts?â
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Theo Carterâs face became as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Unable to hold back his anger, he looked at Greg Jensen and said coldly, âKid, my brother is the president of the Taekwondo Club.
Including myself, we are all from the Taekwondo Club. If you want to keep getting by in school, youâd better kneel and apologize to us.
Otherwise, Iâll make sure you canât get by in this school from today on.â
Theo Carter thought Greg Jensen was a student of Jamae University, thus naturally using school matters to threaten him.
However, Greg Jensen did not buy that at all, contemptuously retorting, âTaekwondo Club, what is that?
A shoddy school club and it gave you a sense of superiority? With such a narrow view, you still want to compete with me for a girl?â
College clubs, in the eyes of adults, really are like childâs play, even the student council is the same.
Yet, Theo Carter and others took pride in them, as if joining the Taekwondo Club was a great honor.
Some people even go so far as to include the experience of being in the student government in their resumes after graduation.
Little do they know, those truly outstanding students have already started participating in various professional projects during their university years. Compared to the experience of those projects, what does a student council presidentâs work experience count for?
