Of course, James wasn't about to take that lying down. He taunted Jase. "You think I'm afraid of you? Let's go, old man! Don't think just because you used to be in the military, you've got better stamina than me. Come on, let's see who's better!"

With that, the two of them went at it again, kicking and punching each other. These two guys, almost two hundred years old combined, fought like kids, making the scene more and more ridiculous.

Ronald and Walter sat calmly in their chairs, sipping their coffee. They listened as the two bickered, bringing up old grievances from decades ago, each one exposing the other's flaws. Some of the incidents they mentioned had happened more than forty years ago, yet both of them remembered everything in vivid detail. Every time they fought, it was like a walk down memory lane.

Watching the two fight like an old married couple, Walter turned to Ronald, puzzled. "What exactly are they fighting about this time?"

Ronald thought for a few seconds and said, "I think it's because of Jase's granddaughter-in-law. That's what started it."

Walter's eye twitched as he watched the fight intensify, and he sighed helplessly. 'Let them fight. Based on my experience, anyone who tries to break them up is just asking for trouble.'

When Jeremiah and Yvette entered the living room, Jase and James were already worn out. They were sitting on the floor, clutching each other's remaining few strands of hair, refusing to let go. They stared at each other, silently challenging one another. Seeing the pair walk in, Walter hurriedly turned to Jase and James on the floor and said, "You two stop it already! Jeremiah and his girlfriend are here. If you keep this up, you'll both lose face!"

Walter and Ronald both knew Jase and James too well; they couldn't care less about things like losing face. They would only stop when they'd fought to their heart's content, so neither of them had much hope that their words would make any difference. Meanwhile, Jeremiah and Yvette were already standing in the living room, watching the scene unfold with Jase and James rolling around on the floor.

While still holding onto Jase's hair, James greeted Yvette. "Yvette, you're here! Have a seat. Let me finish this fight with your grandpa, and then I'll properly welcome you." He then turned back to glare at Jase, brimming with determination.

Jase did the same, leaning over James's shoulder to Yvette and said, "Sit there, Yev. Grandpa's a bit busy here; you can have coffee with Walter and Mr. Terrell first."

Jeremiah introduced Yvette to Ronald and Walter, "Walter, Mr. Terrell, this is my girlfriend Yvette."
