Quinn said, “Your martial skills are so good that you don’t really need bodyguards. That night, I think I acted too quickly. Even if I hadn’t intervened, those thugs wouldn’t stand a chance against you. You would have surely handled them quite effectively with your skills.
“I interfered and acted rashly, which actually robbed you of the chance to show your skills, and I missed the opportunity to witness your full capabilities.”
Julian hurriedly responded, “I’m indeed skilled, but I’m not as formidable as you imagine. That night, there were too many of them. I wouldn’t have been able to handle them all on my own. I’m not as skilled as you.
“I have bodyguards at home, but I rarely use them. Occasionally, I might go out with a couple of them. However, the bodyguards I’ve hired are typically just tall and imposing. They might know a few basic moves, enough to intimidate troublemakers, but they wouldn’t be effective against skilled fighters.
“If we encountered martial artists like last time, they wouldn’t be much help. In situations like that, they wouldn’t be nearly as effective as true experts like you.”
Julian did his best to downplay his bodyguards’ abilities.
After all, they were not with him right now. He could say whatever he pleased since they would not be here to hear it, let alone correct him.
Even if they were around, they dared not speak up.
To get close to Quinn, Julian had even let her beat them and handed them over to the police station. Although they had recovered and were discharged from the hospital, they had to avoid Quinn in the future, making sure not to show their faces in front of her to prevent her from recognizing them.
Quinn asked, “The public security in Wiltspoon is still quite good. Did you investigate the incident last time? I suspect it was a setup targeted at you especially.
“Occurrences like this won’t happen every day. You don’t even require bodyguards usually, so there’s no need for extra security personnel. I’m already accustomed to teaching martial arts in my gym. Plus, I like teaching the kids, and I wouldn’t want to change my job.”
