Noticing that she did not speak, Culver took a step forward.
"What's wrong? Have you changed your mind?"
Naomi took a step back, trying to get further away from him.
"Of course not! Now that we have agreed on a one-on-one fight, let's go to the gym. If I win, you have to let me go! I will pay you back all the money that I've owed you. In the future, we will never have anything to do with each other."
She knew that she couldn't beat Culver if she fought him in an usual fight since she had tried to do so several times before.
Therefore, she strategized to compete with him by using a set of more diverse moves.
To her, he was still trustworthy as a businessman, although he was a 'pervert'.
She recalled her conversation with Loraine last time where she had mentioned she had practiced various types of fighting styles.
Loraine told her that Culver had practiced various fighting styles when he was a child, but his passion had only lasted for a few days before he gave up.
Hence, she was certain that he was not adept at more diverse fighting styles.
She thought to herself, "Well, an eye for an eye, Culver, you had this coming!"
Culver narrowed his eyes upon hearing her words, "Don't cheat!"
Naomi pretended to be righteous and turned her head away as she replied, "Cheating? I don't understand. As a cultured and sophisticated man from a noble family, shouldn't you master all kinds of fighting styles? Are you afraid of me?"
She was even provoking him.
Culver curled his lip slightly, "I'm not afraid of you. Come on!"
Naomi instantly followed him as she was totally in the mood of teaching him a lesson.
They arrived at the gym.
After Naomi warmed up, she stared keenly at Culver, who was standing at the other side.
"I'm going to make the first move!"
Culver nodded. He had never warmed himself up since they came in. Just when Naomi was about to hit him, she suddenly felt that it would be unprincipled for her to bully a novice.
However, her punch was thrown out and it was too late for her to regret anything.
She could only try not to hit the lethal spots on his body. Consequently, she turned and punched Culver's chin. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say that she had won.
In the next second, her waist was held by his hands. Her punch was redirected. She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
In the end, she didn't fall to the ground. Instead, Culver lifted Naomi's leg and turned her upside down.
He looked at her leisurely, "You've lost."
Naomi was rendered speechless.
"How are you so good at this? You're cheating!"
Culver raised his eyebrow and asked, "Have I ever said that I haven't learned other fighting styles? Speaking of cheating, you're the one who's trying to play dirty!"
Naomi was at a loss for words.
"I won't accept this. The match must be fair and impartial. I didn't use all my strength just now. Let's fight once again!"
Culver put her down. "Well, I can allow you to have another match with me, but there's one condition." "What is it?" Naomi stared at him.
Culver's expression and tone were very solemn.
"If I win, I want you to stay here willingly."
Naomi furrowed her brows. "I have a condition too. If I win, I'll leave. You can't stop me, and you can't force me to stay by any means!"
"It's a deal!"
After finishing his words, Culver tidied up his pyjamas carefully.
Both of them were getting serious.
Naomi planned to go for a single decisive strike and end the fight as fast as she could. The main reason was that Culver had shown what he was capable of earlier. The longer the match, the lower her chance of winning.
Thus, she needed to be careful with her strategy.
She clenched her fists while analyzing him.
