Bare Fist Trial

Beside the SUV, Silas frowned.

The script they had discussed at the house called for Anna to use the demonstration as an excuse to back out, giving Silas the win without blowing her position.

Why was she pushing forward?

Unable to speak plainly in front of Jude, Silas raised his voice.

"Stubborn. Mr. Lawson, are you really letting your security step in front of that? He already told you he won't hold back."

Jude looked at him, amused. "You sound more concerned about my security than I am, Silas."

Silas cleared his throat. "I have no interest in an ambulance call tonight. If you want to force it, don't blame me. Master Liu... finish it."

Liu stepped to the center of the road, circling his hands again to set his stance. The men around the cars watched closely.

Instead of staying back, Anna closed the distance in 4 quick strides, stopping less than 2 feet from Liu's face.
