    “Begin!” Alfred shouted. He was acting as referee for the fight. Floyd moved in on Jim. They were


    both skilled fighters, and traded blows incessantly. It was a sight to behold, dazzling the onlookers.


    Ivor began to believe what Bonnie had said. “He’s definitely strong


    Bonnie was silent, Jim was pulling his punches because he was trying to conceal his identity.


    Otherwise, he would have knocked out Floyd immediately.


    Five minutester, gusts of wind rose as Jim and Floyd’s fists collided fiercely. Then, they both


    stepped back.


    “Wonderfull! You fought well! I like you!” Floydughed and patted Jim on his shoulder. He made it


    look like they were two evenly matched fighters who were admiring each other.


    Jim gave Floyd’s hand a sideways nce. He would’ve thrown Floyd over his shoulder out of pure


    instinct if it wasn’t for Bonnie,


    “The way you fought reminded me so much of Mr. Jim. Are you a fan of his as well?” Floyd couldn’t


    help but ask.


    “You’re a fan?” Jim asked.


    “Of course!” Floyd got excited when they started talking about Jim. “I really admire Mr. Jim! I’ve

    bodyguards.”


    She raised her fists. “Do you think I need bodyguards?”


    He stared at her hands involuntarily. Her skin was so fair and tender that it looked like silk, soft and

    smooth to the touch.


    He had seen the way she fought. Bonnie could easily match his mother in terms ofbat. She


    was Cary Burns’s apprentice, too.


    But Ivor still thought she was weak and vulnerable. She needed protection. He was thinking of a


    way to convince her to take the bodyguards with her when she changed her mind.


    “I might have been trained inbat, but I could slip up sometimes. I guess it’s a good idea to have


    someone to back me up. I’ll pick one of them.”


    “Yeah. That’s right.” Ivor nodded.


    Pointing at Jim, she said, “He’ll do.” She did it so she could help conceal his identity.


    Out of nowhere, Ivor said somewhat menacingly in her ear, “What is it? Is he your type? Do you like


    him?”
