106 Comparison is the Death of Joy

The guy did a straight punch at Hue's face. To maximize the punch he used the ball of his foot and thrusting his hip and fist forward at the same time. This move he made is to maximize his strength. Hue crossed his arms in front of him to protect his vulnerable body parts such as eyes, nose, or throat also lessening the impact of the punch.

He then countered with an uppercut which the other party dodged. They exchanged blows for at least 20 times until Hue had the opportunity to do a knee kick on the guy.

He knew as a guy himself that the most vulnerable part of a man is his groin so despite being a guy himself and the foul play he made a knee kick using the bony tip part of his knee as this causes more pain to the other party. He grabbed the guy between his neck and shoulders to give him more leverage and power for his knee kick.

The guy kneeled down as he groaned on the ground while he clutched his private part, Hue who was a bit hurt with bruises around his body took the gun that had fallen on the ground at least half a meter away from them and shot the man on the crown of his head killing him immediately.

"Ugh! That took longer than expected." Hue said after making sure that the two men were dead.

"I still need to train more" he sighed

During one of the punching moment they were doing, Wisteria had called him through their earpiece saying that she's already done on her part. As he was still busy with the brutish man he only said a simple OK in return.

Thinking of how strong his wife is, he was proud and shameful at his mediocre skills. However if other people heard this they would surely curse him to death.

To kill a man swiftly in one shot was not an easy feat. Enduring a blow of a well built and veteran mercenary at the same time killing him cleanly was not a mediocre fellow can do.

Hue who did not know that what he did was above a normal newbie mercenary level does mumbled to himself in defeat as he remembered one of Mark Twain's words.

"Comparison is really the death of joy [1]." He sighed as he continued to mumble to himself in dejection.

He then dragged the dead bodies to one of the nearby bushes as they will be disposing these bodies in one go after killing all the people involved if and when necessary.

It was then as Hue and Wisteria were finishing the things they were doing they finally notice the thick smoke coming from Elena's home.

"Oh no!" They mentally thought.
