Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 624 Wasted Talent On Petty Competition

The maid, who was cooking in the kitchen, quickly ran over to open the door for Clara.

When Clara walked inside, she noticed Skylar and Lola practicing a weird posture in the living room. She asked in surprise, "Yulia, what are they doing?"

Yulia said with a chuckle, "Sky is accompanying the little one to practice combat techniques."

Clara was intrigued. She asked, "Combat techniques? Skylar knows how to fight?"

Yulia nodded with a smile.

Lola bragged, "Aunt Clara, Daddy not only knows combat skills, but he's also very good at them. My dad is capable of defeating hundreds and thousands of bad guys at once. When I'm older, I want to follow in his footsteps and protect my mom.v

Clara laughed and played along with her, "Hmm, Lola is very ambitious!"

Certainly, she was skeptical that Skylar could take down a hundred or a thousand bad guys.

It must be Lola's way to go above and beyond to show her admiration for her father. If Skylar could fight, it would be basic boxing, given his gentle demeanor. His movements must be inferior to those of true masters.

She remembered something and said, "I heard there will be an MMA competition in Sconvia City soon. Skylar could enroll if he's interested in it. I think it would be a good opportunity to meet those combat masters."

Before Skylar could say anything, Lola got excited. She asked, "Wow, an MMA competition? Daddy, will you sign up? I want to see you fight."

The little one looked at Skylar with eager anticipation.

Skylar waved his hand and refused, saying, "Wouldn't it be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut if I signed up for this level of competition?"

Clara was attempting to strike up a friendly conversation. Skylar's patronizing attitude toward the MMA match in Sconvia City irritated her.

Use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Is he going to die if he doesn't boast?

Clara glanced at Skylar and spoke in a tone that belittled him,"Skylar, are you really that good? The MMA competitions in Sconvia City are not just limited to local participants. Many national-level fighters will take part too, including mercenaries who have fought in war-torn Middle Eastern countries and boxers who regularly participate in underground fights.

"With your gentle look, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand a single punch when you go on stage."

Hearing her ridicule Skylar, Lola was the first to voice out her disagreement. She said, "Aunt Clara, you're wrong! Daddy is awesome. He had defeated those who had received good training."

Lola was referring to the time when Skylar taught a lesson to two foreigners from Utopia.
