Chapter 1313

"Fine, we'll do it your way!"

Evan let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding.

"It's already afternoon, so today, Uncle will be teaching me. Bernard, you'll just

have to watch," Evan said.

"Hmph!" Bernard snorted, one of them looking smug while the other looked

seriously annoyed.

The big guy with the scarred face stepped forward, his expression deadly serious.

He was just about to launch into a lecture when Bernard suddenly cut in.

"If you suck at offense, don't mess him up. I'll teach him how to attack, you stick to

defense!"

Everyone knew, after all: the best fighters could play both sides of the game—

offense and defense.

The scar-faced guy glared daggers at Bernard, practically grinding his teeth.

"This is my time. Nobody asked you. If you keep quiet, nobody's going to think

you're dead," he snapped.

Bernard just rolled his eyes and shut up.

The scar-faced guy really didn't want to admit it, but Bernard wasn't wrong. When

it came to attacking, Bernard had skills he just couldn't match.

He'd tried teaching Evan some offense before, but after sparring with Bernard,

he'd figured it was better to focus on defense. That was where he really had

something to offer.
