SWNOVELS Chapter 67: Dempsey Shaw
The Shaw family, pugilistic center.
All the Shaw family members, whether they had the martial arts talent and remained in the village to train, or those with business acumen and went out to the society, as long as they were the Shaw family, all of them were there.
On the fighting stage, a young man wearing the Shaw family training attire flew into the air while vomiting a mouthful of blood. He flew directly out of the fighting stage. The Shaw family members caught hold of him but he had already lost consciousness.
On the stage, the sinister-looking young man smiled cruelly, "You call yourself the true Shaw family and occupy such a beautiful place and yet all of you are trash and a pile of rubbish!"
The young man looked at the Shaw family members with disdain.
"Dempsey Shaw, don't be so cocky, I'll teach you a lesson!" Among the younger generation, a valiant and heroic woman looked at the arrogant man and clenched her teeth.
She stood up and she launched herself into the air with a stomp of her feet.
She couldn't achieve the same as Tom to leap tens of meters in the air but she could at least master the critical portions of the Sliding Steps. As she flew into the air, she displayed her beautiful figure and landed on the stage.
"Bernice, kill him!"
"Bernice, teach him a good lesson. Let him know what the true Shaw family is like."
"This trash also dares to come to our Shaw village. Pfft, what crap!"
As the Shaw family disciples saw Bernice Shaw appear on the stage, all of them erupt in excitement. Bernice was very talented in martial arts. Among their generation, she was the best even when compared to all the men. Bernice was beautiful with a good figure. She also treated the others very well and everyone liked her. All the men admired her and looked up to her.
"To think that a beautiful girl wants to challenge me. If I'm not mistaken, your name is Bernice Shaw and I should call you big sister!"
Dempsey looked at the woman who had a graceful body. Even when she wore the loose exercise attire, it could not hide her lofty confidence. That plus her beauty made his heart skip a beat.
"You're not worthy!" Bernice was fiery and aggressive. She then glared coldly at Dempsey.
"Hehe, we are very distant relatives..." Dempsey looked at Bernice's hot body and his eyes lit up and said with a grin.
"Pervert!" Bernice immediately understood what he meant and yelled angrily.
Thereafter she didn't wait for any response from Dempsey and her hands started to go into a fighting stance.
Her hands moved gracefully as she displayed the Shaws' Boxing. It was without the virility of the men but in her gracefulness, it exuded the strength and determination of a fighter. This was also why Bernice gave others a feeling of valiance and heroism.
"A beautiful woman needs to be at home serving the husband and educating the children. You should leave the tough life of martial arts to the men. Once my father takes back the head of the Shaw family, I can let you become my woman and you can just enjoy your life..."
Dempsey's expression was profane and totally ignored Bernice's impending attack.
Shaws' Boxing? He was the one in their generation who could wield it the best. Dempsey's right leg took a step backward and his body launched forward like an arrow shot of a bow. In a blink of an eye, he was right next to Bernice.
The same fighting technique, the same strikes clashed together. As they exchanged the punches, the surroundings became silent. All the Shaw family looked with their eyes wide open and hoped that Bernice would give Dempsey a good beating.
How dare he disrespect Bernice and insult the Shaw family! He was practically asking for death. Bernice was the strongest in the Shaw family and all their hopes were pinned on her. But their hopes that Dempsey was sent flying by Bernice didn't happen. Instead, it was Bernice who began to retreat a few steps.
What?
Everyone was in disbelief. Even Bernice was no match for Dempsey? And sitting on the main seats, Cornell, Tom, and others started to frown. It looked like no one among the younger generation could take on Dempsey.
On the stage, Bernice took three steps backward before she could steady herself. There was a flash of disbelief in her beautiful eyes. From the capabilities that Dempsey had displayed, she thought that she could at least be on par with Dempsey's fighting skills. She never expected the difference to be so great.
"Not bad for a woman but you should just be a good girl and wait to become my wife," Dempsey said sinisterly. Thereafter he dashed forward and struck viciously with his Shaws' Boxing.
Bernice clenched her teeth and if looks could kill, Dempsey would have died from a thousand slashes from her stare. She also fought hard and although initially she was at a disadvantage, she wasn't defeated But after over ten attacks, Dempsey suddenly broke through Bernice's defenses. Initially, he was going to strike Bernice's waist with a fist but at the last instance, he changed the clenched fist to an open palm and slapped Bernice's waist.
Suddenly, Bernice was slapped backward several steps. At the same time, a small bottle fell from her waist pocket.
Dempsey reached out and grabbed the bottle.
"Flexible and yet firm waist. It felt so good..." Dempsey was savoring the touch. His expression was arrogant and offensive.
"Scum."
"Beast."
The Shaw disciples below the stage erupted in jeers when they heard his remark. They wanted to rush onto the stage to tear Dempsey into pieces.
Dempsey didn't seem to care about the curses of the Shaws. He opened the cover of the small bottle and immediately a thick medical aroma drifted out. As soon as he smelled it, Dempsey's body trembled as if he was immediately refreshed.
Reinforcing Panacea!
Dempsey immediately realized that the bottle contained a Reinforcing Panacea. Furthermore, it was a top-quality Reinforcing Panacea!
Dempsey was stunned.
Even after all kinds of methods, his father could only obtain a good quality Reinforcing Panacea for him to strengthen his foundation for learning and mastering martial arts. To think that there was a fine quality Reinforcing Panacea on Bernice. How did the Shaw family obtain this?
Dempsey became elated when he came to his senses.
Hahaha.
Today, his father will definitely take over as the head of the Shaw family and everything the Shaw family had would become theirs. If Bernice had a fine quality Reinforcing Panacea, then it only meant that the Shaw family had more than one of them. When he thought of this, Dempsey's breathing quickened.
"Give it back to me!" Bernice panicked when she saw that Dempsey had taken away her Reinforcing Panacea.
The fine quality Reinforcing Panacea was practically a priceless treasure. The family saw huge potential in her and gave one to her. It was also her best guarantee to breakout from the low-level martial arts domain to attain a high level of mastery within the next three years.
Bernice started to move and dashed towards Dempsey to snatch back the Reinforcing Panacea.
"My good sister, why are you so anxious? We'll be one family soon enough. Isn't what's yours also mine?" As Dempsey said, he didn't pull his punches this time.
Previously, he wanted to toy around with Bernice. But now, he no longer had the mood to play after obtaining the top quality Reinforcing Panacea. After his father forced Cornell to give up the status as the head of the family, Bernice will not be able to escape from him. By then, he can play with her as he wished!
Dempsey was very talented. At twenty three years old, he was already at the peak of the small domain martial arts. He will definitely attain high-level mastery within a year. At twenty four or five years old, he would become a grandmaster of the high-level domain martial arts. It was rare even for the entire North and South Riverside provinces.
Suddenly, his capability was revealed for all to see. Bernice exchanged blows with him and all were countered by Dempsey. She was quickly suppressed and any mistake would result in her severely injured. When the Shaw disciples saw this, their eyes raged furiously.
"I couldn't be bothered when you looked for trouble with the Shaw family. But now how dare you to take what I gave away as a gift? You're really asking for it!"
Just as Bernice was about to succumb to the repeated blows, she heard a steady voice but didn't quite make out what it said.
The next moment, she heard clearly, "Left leg take a half step back, lean to the right 45 degrees, and punch his armpit!" On hearing this, Bernice didn't think and did as the voice said.
Just as Bernice carried out the actions, Dempsey swung an unexpected punch and grazed her head which caused her to break out in cold sweat.
She then quickly punched toward Dempsey's armpit.
What? Dempsey was surprised that Bernice was able to dodge his unexpected strike. He had expected the strike to hit her. He underestimated her. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain radiating from his armpit. It was as if he just lost the feeling in his entire shoulders!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
