Chapter 34 - Beaten John

"So will you help me with this?" John asked.

If someone had paid attention to John, many would not have believed that the main member of the gang of "Peaky Blinders" is now trying to get approval from his younger brother.

"Then tell me this, are you going to study because of a woman or because you feel weak?" Victor asked, looking at John with a serious look.

Victor has just played an interesting idea in his head. But whether it will be involved depends on the person standing opposite. He does not intend to waste his time on something that will be useless in the future.

Right now, John had a bunch of words in his head that he wanted to say. He felt less valuable than he seemed at first glance. He saw Thomas in action showing composure, he saw Arthur who somehow shows excellent leadership qualities, but he.. Feels a little deprived..

- "I'm me.. I feel weak.. You know how Arthur and Tommy are. I'm afraid to be a burden to them to some extent." - John said, looking down at the bottom, and then resolutely raised his head and met Victor's gaze: - "I want to get better!"

Hearing John's answer, Victor was surprised. Not to say that I'm too surprised. but the reason was as clear as day to him. Throwing out the cigarette butt, he patted the guy in front of him and said: - "Follow me.."

...

In the residence of the Romanov family.

Victor still decided to bring John to his mansion. He didn't have to hide something from others that he had a lot of money in his pocket. Especially this mansion.

Since he decided to take a couple of tips from him on how to get better, he certainly won't refuse. Although he is not the best coach, a good experience will always be useful in the future.

Emilia, who was standing next to Victor, looked at John, who was standing opposite Noah in a huge room resembling a gym and they were in the center of the ring.

In the corner there was a large number of simulators made by Victor with the help of the ability and many different things, such as the ring in which the fight is about to take place.

At first, this hall was going to be used as a warehouse, but after a little thought, Victor decided to make it a place where everyone can train to improve their physical fitness.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Emilia asked, leaning against her brother's chest.

- "I'm a bad coach, but I think Noah will make a great one." - hugging the girl around the waist, he bent and whispered a few words in her ear, which made the girl immediately squirm in his arms.

"S-we can't today.. These days will only end in 3 days.. Be patient a little more.." Putting her soft palm on Victor's cheek, she quickly kissed him on the lips and pulled away.

"Who knew that I would be so dependent on your body.." Victor whispered with a sigh, which made the girl laugh a little.

Standing opposite each other, John couldn't help but look at Noah standing opposite. He already knows this guy who is always hanging around his younger brother and knew his character. But this kid was clearly different now. His cold gaze chilled him to the bone, making him a little nervous in front of him.

"Can you not make that expression?" John asked, standing at the counter.

"Don't hold back when you attack." Noah replied, never once during the whole sentence he said without stuttering, still standing in a relaxed pose.

John didn't waste any time and walked slowly towards Noah. When he was already at arm's length, he rushed forward, delivering a direct blow to the face, aiming at his nose.

*Clap*

But even before the fist landed in Tom's face, Noah casually waved his hand down completely neutralizing the force of the blow, causing John to back away in front, but immediately got a knee in the stomach, forcing him to arch and collapsed to the floor holding his stomach.

- "Khe.. Pha. Fuck.. It hurt like hell.." - still holding his stomach John.

John did not expect that this boy younger than him could beat him in just a few steps. He couldn't help but turn to face Victor standing at the entrance, remembering the moment when he was a head shorter than him and was able to beat him up without any problems.

"Where did you learn that? It is unlikely that in the war they would teach children such techniques .." - John asked getting to his feet. He could still feel his stomach throbbing with pain, but he tried to ignore it.

- "At Victor's.. He taught me everything.. But even so, I can't do everything exactly like him.."- Noah replied, stroking the palm with which he repelled John's attack.

Although this parry looked careless, but at this moment he used all the strength of his arm. Sometimes, in order to do something really complicated, which looks simple at first glance, you need to be completely focused on the action, so that you don't get hurt yourself in case of something.

"Okay, let's continue, we're not done yet," Noah replied, but he was already standing up.

Time passed slowly and soon evening came. During all this time, screams and pleas for help were heard in the hall. Some guys who passed by the hall couldn't help but look inside to see what was going on, but when they saw Noah in the ring, they immediately understood the reason for this noise.

Lying on the floor in the shape of a star, John was covered with bruises and abrasions that covered almost his entire body. It was torture for him. Every time he tried to move his limbs, it was as if he was torn apart from the pain.

- "V-Victor.. I can't... everything.. Let's forget about what I asked you earlier this morning.." - panting, John said clearly from fatigue.

Victor found it very interesting. He stood all day and watched everything that was happening from beginning to end. He's already got a new idea.

He decided to make Noah a personal trainer for new people who will join his family sooner or later. Although each of these hundreds of people was a force of a large scale, but it was not enough when he thought about putting the whole of Great Britain under him.

He needs new people and new hands that will be useful to him in the future, so he decided that he would definitely talk about it with Noah.

"You did a good job today, John.. " - patting him on the shoulder, which made John wince slightly, because he already had a huge bruise on his shoulder and at that moment Victor was trying to poke at him as if for evil.

- "Don't give up halfway.. I see a lot of potential in you and you need to fully unleash it... You're not Thomas and Arthur, you're you, John.. You don't need to be like others.." - said Victor and left.

John, who was lying on the ground, was touched by Victor's words. At first glance, it seems that this guy is crazy, but as it turned out, he is only a guy who has his own principles.

- "Thank you..." - John whispered and got up to go home.
