“Miss Jenkins, is karate difficult?" Jack asked, his face flushed with embarrassment.

“Will you really teach me? I'm afraid I might be too dull to learn it."

A collective gasp came from the crowd.

Had they misheard Jack, or was he out of his mind?

He was Anthony's private bodyguard, for goodness’ sake!

He had already passed many tests that challenged his combat power, skills, and loyalty. Although his ancient martial arts were not the best among his comrades, they were still at a higher level than most.

Besides, it was just karate. Why was Jack even worried that he might not be capable of learning it?

“Don't worry.”

Maria patted Jack's shoulder.

“It doesn't matter that you're dull or whatever. As long as you work hard, you can definitely learn it over time."

Everyone was rendered speechless.

This woman's words were simply harsh and condescending.

It was only after some time had passed that people remembered Colin. He was still sprawled on the floor, wriggling and trembling.

"Oh Christ, Colin? Are you okay?" asked the henchman who had just flattered him. The henchman rushed to Colin and saw with relief that he was still conscious.

“Yes! I... I am fine!" Obviously, he wasn't fine. He couldn't even stand up on his own. His minion then had to help him stand up.

Now on his feet, Colin looked down at Jack and couldn't help the shudder that went through his body as he thought of how Jack had attacked him just now.

That blow was really powerful.

How did Jack manage to hit him with so much strength.

Could a level two warrior like Jack really possess such destructive power?

Colin knew some level three warriors, and their best attacks were just as strong as Jack's last one.

How was that even possible? Jack was definitely not a level three warrior.

It was true that Jack was once among the best level two warriors, but after he sustained some injuries in the past, his strength dropped a lot.

Otherwise, Colin would have never challenged Jack in the first place. Colin shook his head in confusion, unable to make sense of everything. It couldn't even occur to him that Maria had something to do with it. He then said to Jack, “Jack! You only won because you caught me by surprise. However, don't think you'll get so lucky in the grade estimation of the Ancient Martial Arts Association next month."

With that, he turned and left with the help of his minion.
