chapter 10 Fanix Evans

"Hibiscus, when are you going to pay back the three hundred thousand you owe our company?"
"And, your people injured Scarman, medical expenses, lost wages, one million, that's due too!"
"If you can't come up with it, you'll have to sell something to pay me back!"
Cat Eyes intercepted her with a wicked grin, threateningly.
Hibiscus's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.
Sure enough, it was the debt collector under House Lending Company.
Unfazed, Delfina calmly took Hibiscus's slightly trembling hand and stepped forward.
But before he could speak, someone rushed over from the side.
It was Frenetos. Of course, Frenetos wouldn't miss the chance to show off his skills in front of his goddess. He stood like a mountain in front of Hibiscus. "Hibiscus, I'll help you!"
He stood tall, glaring at Cat Eyes and his group. "Bullying a girl, what kind of men are you?!"
Cat Eyes and his companions exchanged a glance, smirking. "You want to step up?"
"I won't let you bully Hibiscus!"
With a raise of his hands, Frenetos swiftly unleashed a series of punches and three roundhouse kicks, each strike swift and forceful.
Onlookers among the students were already cheering, "Mr. Frenetos is amazing!"
"Of course, Mr. Frenetos is amazing, he's got a black belt in karate!"
"Daring to bully our school flower! Mr. Frenetos! Teach them a lesson!"
Encouraged by the praises from the surrounding students, Frenetos became even more proud, eager to show Hibiscus his masculinity.
Nagnoloa stood with crossed arms, his gaze icy. He glanced at Delfina, a smirk playing on his lips. She was waiting, waiting to see Delfina's reaction to being amazed by Frenetos's skills.
But Delfina remained calm, her eyes deep.
Ordinary people might not be able to judge the skills of Mr. Frenetos and Cat Eyes, but Delfina was no ordinary person; with just one look, he could see through their true combat abilities.
While Frenetos was decent, he was no match for Cat Eyes.
Frenetos had just finished a set of punches, chin raised, looking at Cat Eyes. But Cat Eyes sneered, "All flash and no substance!"
Frenetos's face darkened. "Take this!"
He stepped forward, throwing a left punch.
"Hmph!"
Cat Eyes snorted coldly, lifting his foot.
"Bang!"
Frenetos felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, immediately collapsing to the ground.
The entire scene fell silent, everyone knowing that Frenetos had lost!
Bernard and Nagnoloa were stunned.
They never expected Frenetos to lose so quickly!
Delfina watched coldly, shaking his head with a light laugh, just as he expected.
Cat Eyes shook his fist dismissively, "Useless!"
Frenetos's face turned pale. At this moment, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
"Alright, the useless ones have caused enough trouble."
Cat Eyes sneered a few times, then continued to look at Hibiscus, intending to press her further. But then, a clear voice rang out, "I'll pay, the money!"
"And you, apologize!"
All eyes turned to the source of the voice.
The students surrounding them immediately made way for a handsome young man who walked over gracefully.
Instantly, there were gasps, "Mr. Fanix!"
"It's Mr. Fanix!"
"Mr. Fanix is here!"
"Mr. Fanix is not simple at all. He started training with the special forces at ten, was recruited into the military district at twelve, and returned from the Siberia Inferno Training Camp at fifteen!"
"He's the real deal! He's leagues above any kickboxing champion! It's like comparing adults to kids!"
Upon hearing these words, Frenetos's face resembled a spilled paint palette, colorful at first, then turning black. But they were right, Fanix was indeed way stronger than him.
Nagnoloa seemed to heave a sigh of relief. Yes, while Frenetos might not cut it, Fanix could overpower Delfina.
Fanix was like the lone moon in the sky, while Delfina could only be the mud on the ground.
At this moment, Delfina squinted slightly, a cold light glinting in his eyes as he looked toward Fanix.
He was Fanix!
He was the one who schemed against Hibiscus behind the scenes, and even today's trouble caused by Cat Eyes was probably his doing too!
Delfina saw through it all.
Delfina's gaze was too ruthless. Fanix, who was approaching with large strides, felt a shiver run down his spine, a chill creeping up on him as if he were being stared down by a primordial beast, but he suppressed the coldness.
Ignoring Delfina, Fanix smiled gently at Hibiscus, displaying his grace, before finally turning to Cat Eyes with an indifferent air. "I'll repay whatever debt Hibiscus owes you, be it thirty thousand, three hundred thousand, or thirty million."
"Then, you must apologize to Hibiscus!"
Cat Eyes laughed haughtily, somewhat deliberately provoking. "We won't talk about the money, but why should I apologize to her just because you want me to?"
"I understand wanting to stand up for a beauty, but I advise you to consider your own capabilities first!"
"Interfering in other people's business also requires skill!"
Fanix spoke calmly, exuding dominance. "From the looks of it, you seem to think you have a strong fist and can do whatever you want without consequences?"
"If you're unwilling to apologize, I'll make you apologize with my fists!"
Fanix's words caused a stir throughout the entire venue.
"Mr. Fanix is truly domineering!"
"Mr. Fanix is mighty!"
"Quick, teach this arrogant Cat Eyes a lesson!"
Fanix remained calm, saying, "Of course, I don't bully people."
He raised one hand, his voice clear. "I'll play with you using just one hand. If you win, I'll agree to any request you make, whether it's money or anything else. But if you lose, not only will you apologize, but you'll also slap yourself ten times. How about it? Dare to play?"
At his words, the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers, feeling that Fanix was too imposing and too handsome!
"Alright!"
Cat Eyes agreed straightforwardly, even showing signs of impatience.
Delfina watched the scene before him and couldn't help but find it amusing.
"What are you laughing at?" Nagnoloa glared at him.
Delfina shook his head. "This Mr. Fanix, it's a pity he's not an actor."
Nagnoloa frowned. "What do you mean?"
Delfina didn't say anything else, just watched the scene unfold.
Fanix had already made his move.
With his right hand behind his back, he swiftly extended his left hand.
Cat Eyes yelled out, "So fast!"
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed, and Cat Eyes kept retreating, step by step, until he backed into a corner, slamming heavily into the wall.
He clutched his stomach, dry heaving incessantly, clearly defeated!
The surrounding crowd wore shocked expressions. They hadn't even seen clearly what happened, and Cat Eyes was already kneeling on the ground!
Just one move!
Just one punch!
The might of a single punch!
It was terrifying!
Cat Eyes had just defeated Frenetos with one punch, and now Fanix had defeated Cat Eyes with one punch!
And Fanix seemed even more casual, as if he hadn't used any effort at all!
"You've lost."
Fanix remained composed, hands behind his back, calmly speaking. His demeanor was like a gentle breeze passing through the room!
He took out a bank card and tossed it onto Cat Eyes, "One million three hundred thousand. I've repaid it for Hibiscus. Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise, apologize, and slap yourself!"
Everyone reacted, starting to chant, "Slap yourself!"
"Slap yourself!"
"Slap yourself!"
The atmosphere was fervent. Cat Eyes seemed extremely apprehensive, nodding repeatedly. Then, he began to slap himself, "Slap, slap, slap," causing everyone to feel a sense of satisfaction.
"Wow!"
"Mr. Fanix!"
"Mr. Fanix is mighty!"
People admired the strong, especially someone like Fanix, who was rich, powerful, and had immense strength. Now, all the admiring gazes converged on Fanix, and everyone was ecstatic.
Except for Frenetos, whose face was grim, everyone was cheering. Nagnoloa was particularly delighted. She didn't admire Fanix, but she thought Delfina should feel ashamed now.
See? This is what a real man looks like!
What's the point of Delfina's inexplicable arrogance?
Delfina, you should know your place! You're not even comparable to a single hair on Fanix's head!
Even Hibiscus was infected by the fervent atmosphere, looking at Fanix with admiration. "Thank you, I'll... I'll repay the money."
Fanix smiled faintly, but before he could speak, Delfina coldly sneered,
"Fanix, you're quite the actor!"
