Chapter 79 Seeking a Top Fighter
With her left hand on her hip, Jessica pointed fiercely at Daniel’s nose and confronted him, “Are you challenging me?”
“Me? Challenge you? Not at all!”
“You’re challenging me.” Jessica pursed her lips in dissatisfaction,
“Hmph!” She huffed with a certain appealing flair, and Daniel couldn’t help but want to taste those red lips.
Brittany was shocked. What on earth was happening? She had the uncanny feeling that Jessica was almost flirting with Daniel. This couldn’t be happening!
you could Brittany stepped forward and began with a sneer, her voice laced with disdain, “Yeah, like actually do anything to Justin! You? You’re as scrawny as a malnourished monkey. Do you really think you can take Justin? The only reason you got the better of him at Black Panther Club is that he’s been unwell lately, not fully recovered. If he’s back in shape, he’ll knock the crap out of you the moment you dare show your face.” [1
Brittany refused to believe that Daniel, that jerk, could actually overcome Mr. Justin, one of New York’s Top 10. The only reasonable explanation was that Justin had been sick, and as soon as he recovered, Justin would definitely find Daniel and beat him so badly he’d never dare stay in New York. Thus, that detestable Daniel would vanish from TMO, and from Brittany’s sight, for good.
Although Brittany’s remarks sounded disrespectful towards Daniel, Jessica thought she made some valid points. So, she advised Daniel, “I’ll handle the Black Panther Club matter. Justin is just a brawler. While TMO may not have an expert fighter right now, as long as we’re willing to pay, I’m sure we can hire someone better than him. Brittany, it’s your job to scout for top combatants from other states. We need to carefully screen them. We’re offering a high salary to hire someone exclusively for negotiating with Black Panther Club. Since Chairman Rose has confirmed today that this is a private dispute between TMO and Black Panther Club, we must prepare to resolve this matter through combat.”
“Yes, Jessica, I’m on it,” Brittany replied and turned to leave when she noticed Daniel still standing there, not making a move to exit. She reminded him, “What are you still doing here? Get out! Jessica gets annoyed just by seeing you, don’t you know?”
“You can leave, Brittany. Daniel stays; I still have things to discuss with him,” Jessica’s command left Brittany incredulous.
Daniel was just a nobody; what could Jessica possibly have to discuss with him? Was she going to settle a score with him privately? Or perhaps she was going to fire him? After all, the jerk had caused such chaos today, leading Martial Club United to surround TMO. If it wasn’t for Jessica, The Matthews, and Chairman Rose being lenient, this event wouldn’t have been resolved so smoothly.
Thinking that Daniel was about to be fired filled Brittany with delight, as if she were a peacock. She bounced as she walked, even humming a tune, thrilled by the prospect.
