The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1452

"Our Oskian ancestors would always think of how we can better ourselves. Even if we fight, we will only fight with ourselves-we fight with our past and present selves!”

"The reason why we fight with our past selves is so that we can surpass our present and past selves. We want to improve ourselves in the medical field so that we can live longer. We want to improve our farming techniques so that we can feed more people. We want t o improve our combat and fighting skills so that we can make ourselves better and stronger." 7

Having said that, Charlie looked at Nanako before he asked her, "If you are no longer allowed to participate i n any more competitions from now on, will you give u p on upgrading yourself or even practicing combat and fighting in the future?"

Nanako blurted out, "Of course not! Even if I can no longer participate in any more competitions, I will never give up on combat and fighting!”

Charlie smiled before he said, "That's it. You love combat and fighting for itself, and not using combat and fighting to defeat other people. So, what does it matter whether you win or lose, then? Even if you lose the competition and cannot obtain any medal, is that a big deal? Is it important? As long as you live up to your love for combat and fighting, that is more than

enough." 7

Nanako bowed slightly to him before she thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Wade. I understand!"

Charlie said, "Work hard for tomorrow’s match, and don’t worry too much about success or failure. Just make sure that you show your best self." s

Nanako nodded before she replied earnestly, "Mr. Wade, you can rest assured! I will definitely go all out!"

After she had said that, Nanako suddenly remembered that Charlie had been looking at her with a distressed look in his eyes when she was competing in the semi-finals. So, she asked happily, "Mr. Wade, did I perform well in the last match?”

When Charlie heard her talking about the last match, and when he thought about the scene where she had gotten hurt after getting repeatedly hit by the opponent in the ring, he could not help but still feel a little distressed in his heart. 7

So, he said seriously, "I think that you performed very well in the last game. I don't quite understand why you allowed the opponent to attack you repeatedly, though? In truth, your strength is much higher compared to that of the opponent. If you focused on fighting and attacking from the very beginning, it is very likely that you would not have gotten injured. However, you kept giving the opponent opportunities t o attack you. Why was that so?"

Nanako replied shyly, "Actually... the main reason was because I wanted to beat the opponent with just one move. Therefore, I allowed the opponent to attack me i n the early stage of the match, just so I could find the opponent's flaws."
