Patience

"This idiot." Adam face-palmed as a sigh escaped his lips. The others around him were stunned. One moment they thought that Edward had won, but the next moment, the tables had turned.

They were shocked speechless. Meanwhile, Adam took another swig of wine in a relaxed manner. "Lowering your guard and showing your back to the enemy… You haven't learned a thing."

In the fighting ring, Rick had mounted Edward. He had a savage grin on his face as he raised his fist and hammered it down.

At the last moment, Edward managed to raise his arms and put them between his face and Rick's fist.

"Ugghh!!" Edward groaned in pain. His forearm bones had cracked from that last attack. He didn't know how long he would manage to put up his defenses.

"Let's see how long your arms last," Rick spoke menacingly as he raised his fist and once again hammered it down.
