Caden said, “Yeah, I'm new around here. “I heard you’re pretty skilled, so I wanted to check it out.” The man immediately picked up on the hostile undertones in Caden's voice. He recognized that Caden was no ordinary contender, and if a confrontation did occur, it was unclear who would emerge unscathed.

Deciding to calm the situation, the man quickly got dressed. “I'm tied up right now, and today's session is over. Maybe another time.”

Just as he was about to leave, Caden blocked his way. His piercing gaze locked on him. “Did Alicia do something to upset you?”

The man shudded slightly. He replied defiantly: “No, we are on good terms.”

Caden's expression turned sarcastic. "So why the harsh treatment of her?"

The man hesitated. Despite his fear of Caden, he refused to back down. “Why does she have to get all the attention? She's new here, and she's already outshining everyone. I didn't mean to hurt her today. “I just wanted to teach her a little lesson to keep a lower profile.”

Caden laughed. “And who appointed you to teach him a lesson?”

He began to roll up his sleeves, the tension in the room palpable.

The man's eyes widened in fear. “What are you planning to do?”

Caden replied, “It's been a while since I've had a proper workout. You look like a perfect opponent to practice against.” After washing his hands, Caden noticed Alicia standing outside, looking puzzled.

He frowned briefly, then wiped his hands nonchalantly. “Didn’t I ask you to wait in the car?”

Alicia had heard the altercation. The realization that Caden had defended her stirred mixed emotions in her, feelings she hadn't fully processed yet.

After a moment of silence, she approached him. “Well… is he okay?”

Caden looked at his reddened knuckles, his expression distant. “I bullied you, and you care about him?”
