Chapter 77

Albert faced his opponent, who was taller than him. While he didn't have the height advantage, he was young and strong and often fought. Maxwell, on the other hand, was the type to sit in office all day, so Albert figured Maxwell's stamina couldn't match his own The more Albert thought about it, the more confident he felt about winning

Maxwell, however, didn't dwell on it too much. He just wanted to wrap this up quickly and go back to find Mona. They both had to work every day, and their time together was limited to the evenings. He was already annoyed that this precious time was being wasted by Albert..

With a disdainful glance at Allsert, Maxwell beckoned him to start.

Seeing Maxwell's actions, Albert felt insulted. Without much thought, he rushed straight at Maxwell, fists clenched, ready to punch him in the face.

The momentum would give him more power, and before he reached Maxwell, he swung his arm, aiming to strike his face. Maxwell shifted slightly to dodge the blow and immediately kicked Albert in the chest, sending him sprawling to the ground. He looked down at him, saying, "With skills like that, you think you can take me on? Come at me again"

After stepping back, Maxwell waved his hand, inviting Albert to try again.

Albert wouldn't take such provocation lying down. He quickly got back on his feet, crossed his arms, and flexed his wrists. His eyes sparkled with determination as he charged at Maxwell again.

The sounds of their fight echoed through the garden. Polly, hearing the commotion, rushed to tell Mona. The moment Mona learned they were fighting outside, she dashed down without even grabbing a jacket.

She knew how skilled Maxwell was. He'd proven that during their last altercation. As she hurried down, her concern was primarily for Albert.

Though Albert often got into minor scuffles at school, he was up against someone who clearly had serious fighting skills.
