Dylan was astonished and put the ointment away. "Is he really that strong?"

"He's the successor of the Goldmanns' Night Banquet. It's not surprising that he has such skills." Nick kept his cool throughout the conversation and did not show dissatisfaction regarding the fact that he had just lost to Waylon.

'There will always be someone who's better than I am. Wayne one-upped me very convincingly in that match.'

Dylan curled his lips. "But I think he did it on purpose, as if he has a grudge against you." Nick smiled.

'What he has against me isn't a grudge, or is it?'

On the other side of the city, at Emperon...

Cameron sat at the table with one hand propped against her forehead, staring at the man cooking in the kitchen. After returning home, he put on a dark gray knitted sweater and a pair of light-colored loose cotton linen trousers. But no matter what he was wearing, it was impossible for him not to look good with that look of his.

Perhaps it was because of the refined and well-defined face that she got deceived by him from the very beginning!

The short ribs had just been served on the table, but her stomach started to growl instantly. Waylon handed her a fork and chuckled. "It seems that someone is starving."

She grabbed the fork, lowered her head, and started eating.

Waylon sat across from her, rested his chin on his interlocked fingers, and fixed his gaze on her face. "Are you two very close?"

She paused and raised her head. "Who are you referring to?"

He rolled his eyes and gave off a slightly dissatisfied expression.

Cameron was astounded and started biting her fork. "I won't be able to explain my relationship with him to you in such a short time."

Waylon narrowed his eyes and did not utter a single word.

Cameron leaned forward in front of him. "Why are you asking me about him? Are you jealous?"

He laughed and lifted his gaze. "You do know that I'm jealous of him. But you chose not to talk to me about your plan to set up a martial arts training center in Bassburgh. Do you really think that I can't be of help?"

Cameron was taken aback. "Since when did I tell you that you wouldn't be of help?"

'Wait a minute! Does he care about the fact that I didn't discuss my plan with him?' Waylon crossed his arms. "Isn't it so?"

"You... Yes, I indeed didn't discuss it with you, but I told you later, didn't I? And you obviously agreed to let me invest and work in the training center. And adhering to the terms that you named, I did wear men's clothing when I went there. What else do you want?"

He kept his calm demeanor. "If you want to set up a training center, I can help you locate a storefront. There's no need for you to work under him."

He just did not like her getting too close to Nick.

Cameron asked in return, "Then do I have to live under you?"

Waylon pursed his lips tightly.

"Wayne, I'm not familiar with this city and its people. I grew up in the East Islands and am used to doing things my way. Do you know how difficult it is for me to integrate into your life? I'm not your pet, so why can't I decide what I want to do by myself? If I can't even do that, what's the point of me staying here in this city?"

Waylon took a deep breath and wanted to explain, but Cameron had already put her fork down and stood up. "I have no experience in running a martial arts training center, but Nick has that. Even if the owner of that training center wasn't Nick but someone else, I'd still choose to collaborate with that person. It just so happens that Nick is the owner of that martial arts training center.

"You can indeed help me locate a storefront or with the manpower and funds needed. You can help me solve everything in a snap of your fingers. Who wouldn't want to turn to someone who can offer a once- and-for-all solution? But have you ever asked if this is what I want?"

"Cam-"

“I'm full. Thanks for the meal." Cameron turned around and went upstairs. All her emotions were cramped in her chest, suffocating her as she felt extremely wronged and uncomfortable.

Tonight, Waylon slept in the guest room, wanting to give both of them a chance to calm down.

The next day...

Cameron arrived at the training center very early. After coming back from a long break, the trainees were joined by a group of new apprentices. They were all primary school students, and their families had sent them there to learn self-defense.
