Chapter 571: 6 Months Deal
Chapter 571: 6 Months Deal
In three days, Harry's divorce was completed. They also gave everything that Gabi wanted. To Gabi, this is the best that she could get. She wasn't really planning to shop here. However, she decided to use other methods to attack the Sealey Family.
On the same day, old man Quigly said that he would agree to Gabi's demands. He agreed to put his own granddaughter in prison to save his company. Again, it was another win.
Because of this, both the Sealey and the Quigly family cut off Alfons. But to Gabi, this was just the start of everything. From now on, the game is going to become extremely complicated.
That morning, Gabi had her exercise. She also had her gun shooting training with Glen. This time, the man started teaching her the parts of long firearms. Lately, Gabi had showed interest in rifles that snipers use.
She wasn't that confident that she would be able to use one, but knowing how to use it would be very helpful. After this, she started training the soft martial arts that Glen copied from his friend Ma.
"So the next stage of the soft martial art is applying it in action?" Gabi asked. The soft martial arts actually looked like she was dancing. It looked like Taichi, except it was softer, flowy. Unlike most martial arts, this one didn't have any deadly appeal.
In fact, it looked peaceful and relaxing.
If someone would see Gabi practicing the arts, they would simply think she was learning some dance.
"Yes, you need to use it," Glen said. "Let's have a practice match."
"Huh?" Gabi shivered inwardly. "Like a fight?" She knew this was inevitable. But a fight against Glen is just too much.
"Yes, however, I will not fight against you. All you need to do is hit me."
"Once?" Gabi asked.
"Yes. Right now, you are still too weak to fight against me. Once you land a hit, I would consider you worthy."
Gabi sighed. "You will not fight back?"
"You fear pain?"
Gabi nodded. "I would not pretend or lie. I am scared of pain." In fact, she was more scared of pain than death. Does that make sense?
If possible, she would want a quick, painless death.
She concluded that this was because of what she had to endure in her previous life. Perhaps the experience left her traumatized.
"But pain is better than death," Glen uttered.
She wanted to respond, but decided not to say anything. In the end, people like Glen would always prefer to survive. But for someone like her who already died once the story is just different.
"If you are scared of pain, then you should quickly become an expert. So you would just avoid getting hit!" Glen beamed. "It's that simple!"
Gabi begged to differ. Why not just avoid getting into fights instead? Isn't that the best way to avoid feeling all those pains?
But then again, she also knew that avoiding it would be impossible. Not when she started to collect enemies here and there.
"Alright." Gabi nodded.
"Really?"
"Yes. As long as I hit you, right?"
"Yep."
Gabi smiled. Soon, she and Glen faced each other with gloves in hand.
The deal was simple. Gabi needed to hit this man's face or his stomach at least once. Glen would not fight back, but he would dodge or avoid her attack. Once she succeeds, Glen would agree to let her fight his son, who is also adept in various martial arts.
After bowing before each other, Gabi was quick to strike him with a jab followed by a cross, something that Glen easily dodged.
"Miss why are you using such simple strikes? Are you scared that your hand will break once it hits my face?"
Gabi snorted. Provocation is obviously a thing while fighting. "Does that mean that your face is so thick?" she responded something that surprised Glen. Seeing him smirked, she let out a couple more strikes.
This was actually the first time that she fought against someone and, to be honest, she was a bit nervous.
She could feel her nerves shaking, trembling. Her heartbeat was racing in anticipation.
This time, Gabi suddenly tried to strike Glen with the heel of her palm. When Glen blocked it with his arm, she quickly bent her fingers, forming them into claws.
"Hoho. Tiger claws!" Glen chuckled, but quickly pushed her away. But Gabi already anticipated this. A smile formed on her face as she tried to hit the other side of his body. Sadly, Glen easily predicted her movement. One small push and Gabi's butt hit the floor.
She lost.
Her movements were really sloppy, to say the least. It was untrained and doesn't really have any tactics or strategy. And just as expected, she failed.
"Damn" Gabi could only curse. She felt really weak in front of this man.
"You know why I told you that Ma would defeat me in a fight?" Glen stared at her. "It was because this fighting style wasn't targeted to fight the enemy head-on."
Gabi frowned. "You mean"
"Tricks. Ma and his team of people were known because of their treacherous fighting style. They always think it was a fight to the death and if they couldn't defeat the enemy they run."
"Huh?"
"You don't understand it?"
Gabi didn't say anything. Trickery? It means that those people would do everything just to win. They are not fighting for honor or fame. They are fighting to survive.
Meaning, even if they are practicing, those people were treating every fight as a life or death situation.
"You are still too weak. Despite all the exercises, your body is too small. I'm afraid, if you continue like this, you won't be able to fight back when you faced a real assassin."
Assassin.
Gabi said nothing.
That's right. If Aden wasn't with her that night she would have died.
She was too careless!
With this in mind, Gabi told Glen that she needed to practice more. Despite being scared of pain, she needed to learn how to defend herself. She won't let the things that happened in her past life repeat itself.
"Give me another six months," Gabi said.
"Huh?"
"I will defeat you in six months?"
"Gabi that is impossible. With your current state"
"There is nothing that I cannot do. Once I put my mind into it." Gabi said, determination sparked in her eyes. "Six months and I will defeat you."
