Chapter 413 Dodge Without Hitting Back
Jesse had a lot of pent-up anger from earlier, so hearing Jared call him slow caused him to lose his temper. “If you’re that good, how about you spar with me and see if I really am slow?”
“Hey! Watch your tone with Mr. Chance!” Luke freaked out when he saw Jesse behave so rudely toward Jared.
He was about to teach Jesse a lesson when Jared stopped him and said, “Calm down, Mr. Wagner. As I said earlier, it is normal for young people like him to be a little hot-headed. I’ll just have a little spar with him!”
“Please have mercy on him, Mr. Chance!” Luke pleaded.
“Don’t worry. I won’t hurt him,” Jared replied calmly.
Feeling reassured by his promise, Luke figured it would be a good chance for Jesse to learn a lesson on humility.
The arrogant and insolent behavior of Dominic and Jesse formed such a huge contrast with Luke’s personality that he sometimes wondered if they were really his children.
“You should be begging me to have mercy instead, Dad! Don’t blame me if I end up injuring your precious guest!” Jesse shouted with disdain written all over his face.
Luke simply ignored him as he knew Jesse would be humbled very soon.
Jared jumped into the air and landed in front of Jesse. He then placed both hands behind his back as he said, “You will attack me, and I will dodge without hitting back. This way, you’ll get to see how slow you really are!”
Jesse paused for a few seconds before muttering furiously, “Don’t get so full of yourself now! I’m not going to be responsible if you get hurt!”
Jared shook his head. “That’s not going to happen!”
Jesse raised his foot and stomped at the ground, causing cracks to appear and spread in all directions up to dozens of feet away.
He then exhaled sharply, emanating a terrifying aura as he glared at Jared like a predator that was about to pounce on its prey.
A second later, Jesse threw a punch in Jared’s direction. It was so powerful that it made a sonic boom as it cut through the air.
Even in the face of such a destructive punch, Jared simply stood there calmly with his arms behind his back. It was as if he didn’t even care about the incoming attack.
Right as the punch was about to hit him, Jared tilted his head slightly to the side and evaded the punch with great ease.
Angered, Jesse threw yet another punch at Jared. This time, he aimed for Jared’s stomach instead.
Once again, Jared was able to dodge it easily by stepping to the side. The next thing Jesse knew, Jared was standing right behind him.
“Argh!” Jesse screamed in frustration after missing two attacks in a row.
He then started throwing countless punches at Jared with both hands, but not a single one of them landed on him.
In fact, his fists couldn’t even touch Jared’s shirt.
In just a few minutes, Jesse had delivered over a hundred punches and missed every one of them.
Eventually, he stopped attacking and panted heavily as he had almost depleted his martial energy.
Jared, on the other hand, didn’t even break a sweat. “Now, do you believe that your punches are too slow?” he asked with a smile while still keeping his hands behind his back.
“Hmph! You’re just taking advantage of your agility! Do you even have the guts to trade punches with me? With that fragile body of yours, I bet I could break all of your bones with one punch!”
Jesse still refused to admit defeat.
“How are you going to trade blows with me if you barely have any martial energy left?” Jared asked with a smile before stepping lightly on the floor beneath his feet.
