In a sparring match where the opponents' combat abilities were mismatched, the defending party often bore the brunt of the strikes.
Felicia's reactions were swift, managing to counter several of Scarlet's feints and attacks. However, her defense inevitably left small openings. Scarlet's sharp eyes and decisive strikes took full advantage, and she landed several kicks on Felicia.
Scarlet raised an eyebrow, laughing with delight. "Getting paid to beat up my boss! This is another great day!"
Felicia was rendered speechless.
The sounds of punches and kicks echoed dully through the yard. The housekeepers worked while sneaking glances at the match.
As the sun rose, its golden light bathed Felicia, making her already fair skin appear to glow. Beads of sweat rolled down her collarbone and disappeared into her neckline. Her elegant and graceful figure swayed subtly with her quickened breaths.
Seizing an opportunity, Felicia leaped into the air, executing a flawless scissor kick that forced Scarlet to back off a few steps.
The move was breathtakingly sharp and graceful. Felicia's long hair, tied high, flew with her movements, with strands of sweat-dampened hair adding a touch of wildness.
Particularly during her airborne spin, the hem of her clothes lifted slightly, revealing a slender, graceful waist. Though it was only for a brief moment, the sight lingered in one's mind.
The young woman's petite frame belied her ferocity. Her legs sliced through the air with fluid, powerful movements. Each strike came so swiftly that it was almost impossible to follow.
The scene was stunning and captivating.
Maurice arrived at the gate of Felicia's villa just in time to witness this moment.
He had traveled through the night, not even resting after landing from the plane. Anxious and eager, he rushed straight to her. All the exhaustion and chaos of the night evaporated the moment he saw Felicia.
During the flight, Maurice had questioned himself multiple times. Was there any point in hurrying to Khogend?
Now, his heart gave him the answer to his questions. There was.
