Kylie thought Nathan was being unreasonable and was about to reprimand him for being a busybody.
However, Penny held onto her and whispered, "Kylie, Nathan and I are just worried that you would be conned. I think that this man is too plump to be good at fighting. It's better for Nathan to test him out."
While Kylie disliked Nathan, she was still objective to what Penny had to say.
She scoffed as she shot a stern glare at Nathan, "Fine then. Why don't the two of you challenge each other since you want to test him out? But, don't regret it if Francis beats you up and injures you badly!"
"Alright!" Nathan replied confidently.
Francis saw this and knew that Kylie would doubt him too if he did not fight Nathan today, or if he could not defeat him.
As such, Francis fixed his gaze on Nathan and threatened him, "Young man, I will not hold back since you have decided to make a fool of yourself."
"Come on then!" Nathan made an inviting gesture to him.
All the salespersons wanted to stop them as they saw the fight brewing.
At this moment, Mia returned and stopped them as she said calmly, "Mr. Cross is our shop's VIP. He can do anything he wants here. I don't care whether he fights, or smashes the whole shop for he can afford it."
They looked at each other blankly before turning to Nathan in shock.
Francis let out a shout and charged towards Nathan as he raised his fists in the direction of the latter's face.
Nathan ducked his attack and tripped him over.
Needless to say, Francis tripped over his foot and collapsed face-down onto the ground. He looked extremely destitute.
Kylie frowned as she saw this.
Penny whispered to her again, "Kylie, you said that he defeated a dozen of people to save you. But look at this, does he look anything like what you have told me? Are you sure this is the man?"
On the other hand, Francis got up after some struggle and yelled in an infuriated and shameless manner, "You punk, how dare you trip me. You are going to die today!"
As he said that, he mustered up all his strength and clenched his fists then attacked Nathan again.
