Chapter 6: ONE PUNCH

'Finally! Our boxing master showed up' Thomas thought as he silently sighed in relief. Previously, the boxing master refused to make any appearance to the public for reasons he didn't know.

But now that the boxing master is currently facing Hutton who is still seating leisurely, he was sure he will take action which made Thomas to rest easy.

'He is dead now!' Max thought with an excited expression on his face. But when both Max and Thomas heard what boxing master say, they quickly became dazed.

"Good day, revered elder. My name is Kenneth I would love to be your disciple" The boxing master said with a respectful expression on his face.

Even Hutton was momentarily stunned by what Kenneth said as he asked...

"Why do you want to be my disciple?"

"Well although your aura isn't a good enough reason for me to be your disciple, but my instincts is telling me if I can learn from you, I can have a breakthrough in my boxing" Kenneth said in a respectful tone.

"B-But Master, he is just a youth in his 20s and also a simple businessman" the youth who Hutton refered as a boxing genius suddenly spoke up in a fearful tone. When Kenneth heard him, his aura suddenly erupted and made the youth to lay flat on the floor.

"How dare you address my potential master that way Liam?" Kenneth asked in a deep chilling voice. But before the youth could reply, Thomas suddenly spoke up in a surprisenly calm tone.

"But I don't see any issue to what Liam just said, based on my observation of this youth, I don't see how he can help you towards breakthrough"

"Are you questioning my instincts Thomas?" Kenneth quickly asked with a darkened expression on his face.

"Oh no I wouldn't dare Mr. Kenneth! I just want to confirm the things your instinct told you by testing his strength" Thomas said hastenly while he sneered within 'i can't allow this brat to gain his favor'

When Max heard what his father is saying, his suddenly smirked as he thought 'you can't escape from my dad's grasp you brat'

"And how are you going to do that?" Kenneth asked as he visibly calmed down, when Hutton saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head as he thought...

'Looks like I can't avoid clashing with these bastards'

"It's very simple, he just have to defeat our top fighter in a spar" Thomas said with a light smile now on his face. But the smile quickly faded away after what Kenneth did next.

"Venerable, is it ok for them to test you do that we can shut their mouths later when they see the result. If you don't want to, it's fine I will also not allow it to happen" Kenneth said to Hutton in a respectful tone.

'This bastard!' Max thought with an enraged expression on his face. Now that Kenneth asked Hutton this question, he have a way of getting away from all this unscathed if he don't want to get tested as Kenneth will also support him in his decision. And since Kenneth is a boxing master and also a honored guest of the family, know one can challenge him otherwise.

'This guy is interesting' Hutton thought with an amused expression on his face. But he still answered Kenneth.

"It's fine if they want to test me"

Although if Hutton refused to get tested, he can get away from this unscathed. But he might secretly be targeted by the Thomas family when they have the chance to in the future which he does not want to experience.

So rather than refusing, he accepted so that he can crushed any hope of targeting him once and for all.

'He took the bait!' both Thomas and Max were initially surprised by the answer Hutton gave, but they later have victorious smiles replacing the surprised look they had.

"Since he has accepted Mr. Kenneth then could we proceed to the combat hall so that we can take the test?" Thomas asked with a light smile back on his face.

"Lead the way then" Kenneth answered in an indifferent tone.

"Ok, follow me then" Thomas said while getting up. But before he left the hall, he secretly told Max.

"Get Draconic fists to come to combat hall"

"Yes father" Max said he rushed out from the opposite entrance of the hall while Hutton and the others went to another seemingly large building not far from the hall Hutton and the others were previously in.

But compared to the last hall, this hall was completely filled with platforms were various people in jump suits could be seen sparring against each other.

"Huh? Why is the family head and the boxing master here?"

"Not only that, but apart the Boxing beast Liam, who is the other youth beside them?"

"The boxing master seems to be very respectful to this youth, shit! Who is he?"

While the various youths were having curious expression while asking questions among themselves, Hutton and the others arrived at the largest platform in the hall which is located at the middle.

"This is where we shall test him Mr. Kenneth" Thomas said after arriving at the platform.

"So who is going to spar with him? If you tell me is these amateurs then I will just have to refuse since you will be wasting Venerables time" Kenneth said with an indifferent expression on his face.

'Bastard!' Thomas thought as he silently gnashed his teeth in anger but he still remained calm on the outside as he answered.

"Oh no Mr. Kenneth, the sparring with him is on his way here now"

Right after Thomas said that, a commotion brok out at the entrance of the combat hall. The reason for this commotion was because of the appearance of a bear like human.

"Oh my G*d! What is Draconic fists doing here?"

"I thought he was in seclusion as I recently heard he is currently in a bottleneck of being a boxing master"

"That's what I also thought, or has he broken through and became a master already?"

While the various youths in the hall were having heated discussions amongst themselves, this bear like human approached Hutton's group.

This bear like human has a slightly tanned skin with his dark hair being trimmed extremely low along with his dark eyes. He wore a black colored jump suit which covered his body that has the height of 6 foot 8 inches.

'He is at the extreme edge of being a boxing master' Hutton thought as he secretly glanced at the Draconic fists with an interesting smile on his face.

"Family head, who is the punk I have to spar with?" Draconic fists asked is a slightly loud voice. When the curious who were still ok their platforms heard this, they gasped.

"He is actually going to have a spar with someone"

"Who is that unlucky fellow?"

"Why do I have the feeling this won't end well?"

"I don't give a damn about how you feel! I need to go watch this sparring match"

Suddenly, all the youths in the combat hall quickly rushed to the audience stand that faces the platform Hutton and the others were in.

'Let's see how you escape this now' Liam thought with a vicious smile on his face.

"This is the person you will be sparring with" Thomas said as he glanced at Hutton. Following his gaze, Draconic fists also landed his gaze on Hutton. Although he was stunned at first, he quickly laughed as he said.

"This will be a simple walk in the park. Please let's start this spar so that I can teach this punk a lesson"

"You!.." Kenneth said with a furious expression on his face. But Thomas quickly said.

"Please calm your anger Mr. Kenneth. The spar is about to start so could we please get off the platform?"

When Kenneth heard what Thomas said, he quickly calmed himself before he stared at Thomas and said coldly.

"You will regret this" After that, Kenneth got of the platform. Although Thomas didn't say anything in return, he inwardly sneered at Kenneth's comment as he thought.

'Now that we having our very own boxing master, your days is in the family is getting numbered'

After that, Thomas came down of the platform along with Max and Liam before only Hutton and Draconic fists could be seen on the platform.
