The office was quiet for a full three minutes. The three people who could still stand were all staring at Samuel with stupefied expressions. They did not even blink their eyes.
At this moment, Xiaolong suddenly had the courage. This was because he had witnessed Samuel’s strength. He knew that even if Samuel were to face Manfred, his little boss would still have the ability to deal with it. Thus, he did not need to be afraid.
"Boss, you're really amazing." Xiaolong silently walked to Samuel’s side and gave him thumbs up. At the same time, he was glad that he had made a wise decision. If he had chosen to leave just now, it was likely that he would never be able to follow Samuel. This would be the greatest loss in his life.
But now, Samuel had displayed such strength. Even Manfred did not dare to look down on him. Being able to follow such a person, his future was definitely limitless.
Samuel smiled faintly. He had just dealt with two small characters. What was there to be proud of?
He was not afraid of the entire martial arts world in Swallow City.
"It looks like you will have to send out the strongest person in your field," Samuel said to Manfred.
Manfred abruptly sucked in a breath of cold air. He knew that he had underestimated Samuel, and that he had looked down on him to a large extent.
More importantly, with Samuel’s performance just now, even if he called out the most powerful person in the boxing field, he might not be able to defeat Samuel.
"Little Brother, your skills really did not occur to me." Manfred said. Earlier, he had addressed Samuel as little boy, but now, he called him little brother. This showed that Manfred's opinion of Samuel had already changed.
"Aren't you afraid that this is an accident and you don't want to try again?" Samuel smiled and said.
Manfred's face was filled with a bitter smile. This was a fight where one's fists hit the flesh, so how could there be any accidents? Winning meant winning, it was the performance of one's strength. There was no excuse.
As for whether he wanted to give it another try, Manfred really did have such an idea in his heart. He really wanted to know what kind of ending the most powerful person in his own boxing field would have when he faced Samuel. However, there was no need to do this.
"Little brother, if you have any use for me, feel free to let me know." Manfred said.
"We will become good friends. Do you believe it?"
Samuel said sincerely.
To Manfred, he didn't have real friends in the underground world. On the surface, they were putting their lives on the line, but there was a good chance that they were playing dirty tricks behind their backs. After all, there weren't that many moral principles left in the current Jianghu.
However, when Samuel said these words, Manfred had a strange feeling. He felt that he could really become good friends and good brothers with Samuel.
"Although I don't know why you would say that, I hope so." Manfred said.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. By the way, my name is Samuel." After saying that, Samuel turned around and left the office.
Seeing this, Xiaolong quickly followed behind. His admiration for Samuel had already reached its peak. To be able to do such a thing in Manfred's office and even leave in one piece, Samuel was probably the first person to do so. Moreover, becoming a good friend with Manfred meant that his position in Cloud City in the future would be below that of one person.
"Samuel, Samuel." After Samuel left, Manfred quietly muttered his name.
