Chapter 161
Yvette lifted her chin slightly, showing a laid-back expression on her refined face. Her eyes looked like a clear and chill lake, which was full of calm, showing no emotion. She didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.
Seeing that, everyone there felt a little uneasy. They thought. Mr. Chavez’s fate is uncertain in the jungle, and how can she be completely unworried?
Bruce and the others couldn’t understand what on earth did Yvette think. They thought, If Yvette wasn’t in a hurry, she would not fly from home to Mysonna in less than five hours, even not wasting a minute. However, now her attitude seems like she doesn’t care about Mr. Chavez’s life at all.’”
Yvette lifted her eyelids slightly, giving them a long and serious look, and said to everyone in there in a calm voice, “Get these things ready, and we leave early tomorrow morning.”
Bruce shook his head and rejected her idea, whose attitude was somewhat firm. He claimed, “No way, we can’t afford any more delay. Ms. Zeller, We know you’re concerned about Mr. Chavez, but it’s too dangerous for a woman to come with us to the rainforest. If something happens, we may not be able to protect you. If anything happens to you, the three of us cannot explain it to Mr. Chavez. So Mr. Chavez, please stay at the hotel. We’ll set off once we are ready.” Hearing that, Frankie and Chris nodded, while Emmett sat quietly on the side, not saying a word. However, Yvette showed no expression on her face and didn’t respond to Bruce’s words,
Bruce thought she agreed with what he said, so he got up to leave without giving it much thought.
Yvette curled her legs up and rhythmically tapped the armrest of the sofa with one hand. Suddenly, a cold glint appeared in her eyes. Her brown and shiny eyes were unfathomable. Anyone who knew Yvette could tell she was in a mood right now. She said suddenly, “Let’s have a fight. If I win, the three of you listen to me. If I lose, I’ll listen to you and stay in the hotel.”
Frankie let out a laugh and looked at Yvette with a cheeky grin, and he said, “Ms. Zeller, do you really know what the guys standing in front of you do? Let me introduce you. Bruce is a three-time free sparring champion of Mysonna. Chris is a master of ancient combat artist, having trained with Mr. Chavez in the military for five or six years. As for me, even though I’m a newbie here, I’ve been learning taekwondo with my master since I was a kid. If we get into a fight and you, with those small arms and legs, end up getting hurt, Mr. Chavez will have to kill us when he finds out. So, Let’s just forget about it
Bruce also nodded carnestly.
Although Frankie usually had a laid-back attitude, he was spot on with that. The three of them knew that Yvette was the first woman Mr. Chavez had shown interest in for the last thirty years. From what they understood, Yvette might even be the future matriarch of the Chavez family. Regardless of her status or any reason, none of them could lay a finger on Yvette. Besides, they all agreed that it was very inappropriate for three grown men to fight a woman. If the news got out, they’d be a laughingstock.
However, just as the three were about to refuse, a blurred figure flashed by. They found that Yvette was already standing in front of them. Being an ancient combat artist, Chris instinctively stepped back two paces, and then Bruce and Frankie quickly followed by moving back a few steps. Yvette didn’t give them any extra time. She moved forward swiftly, swinging her one leg out in a fierce sweep, cutting through the air. The three of them were forced to step back a few more steps.
Yvette’s skillful move made the three of them take it seriously. Bruce looked surprised. Frankie was eager to jump in and spar with Yvette, rubbing his hands in excitement. However, as soon as he took a step forward, Chris pulled him back. Frankie scratched his head, feeling confused.
He asked, “Chris, why are you stopping me? Don’t worry, I promise I won’t harm Ms. Zeller.”
You cant Me Zeller, just stay put
Chris gave him a sideways glance and replied, be
ring this, Frankie was stunned, because he knew that Chris never joked around.
Chapter 161
Chris stared at Yvette. His expression grew more serious than before, furrowing his brows
“Are you an ancient combat artist?” Chris asked Yvette.
68
Hearing those words, Frankie turned to look at Yvette in disbelief. He thought, An ancient combat artist? How could that be?
Even Bruce, who had been always calm and composed, became shocked. He thought, “The term “ancient combat artist” isn’t used lightly. Since Chris said she was, it must be true”
Yvette’s pretty eyes were half-closed, with a chill gaze. She hummed with her thin lips slightly parting, “Yes”
Chris turned around and asked Bruce and Frankie to step aside. People all knew that the ancient combat artists were no longer people like them who could go up against. They didn’t know what level Yvette had reached. However, judging by the skill she had just shown, they thought she must have considerable skill.
Following Chris’s instruction, Bruce and Frankie readily moved aside. They were well aware of the power of an ancient combat artist’s battle, so they clearly knew that now was not the time to be reckless.
Chris performed a traditional fist-salute and said, “Ms. Zeller, please, and then his eyes instantly burned with a strong determination. Yvette didn’t waste any words and made the first move, and Chris didn’t dare to be careless and used his best skills to counter. The two of them went back and forth vigorously
Bruce and Frankie were dazzled by the fast movements and could not see them clearly.
Five minutes later, they heard a cracking sound suddenly and saw Chris being kicked to the ground by Yvette, gasping for breath. Instead, Yvette stood where she had been, which was exactly the same as the one she just stood in, and there was even no a single wrinkle in her clothes.
An eerie silence fell over the scene. Frankie rubbed his eyes and couldn’t believe that Chris was defeated just like that. He asked himself in mind, ‘Chris has been my idol for many years, and how could he lose so easily? However, no matter how much Frankie didn’t want to accept it, the truth unfolded right before his eyes.
Frankie looked at Yvette with shining eyes. He silently announced to himself that from today on, he had a new idol Chris, lying on the ground, didn’t even realize that his fan had dismissed him so quickly. Bruce stared at Yvette, deep in thought His earlier concerns seemed to fade with the display of her skills.
Emmett was the only person who showed no surprise throughout the entire process, because from the moment Yvette made her first move, Emmett recognized her as an ancient combat artist with advanced skills. However, he was also surprised by her hidden depth.
Chris jumped up from the ground, looking at Yvette with admiration in his eyes. “I admit defeat, Ms. Zeller, cumpletely and utterly,” he said. He thought, ‘Mr. Chavez really knows how to spot talent. How can someone in her twenties have such deep power
in ancient martial arts? Where did Mr. Chavez find this treasure? I’m thoroughly impressed.
Yvette raised her delicate eyebrows and asked calmly, ‘Any objections? If not, go prepare the gear. We’ll leave at six tomorrow morning”
The three of them nodded at once, with a completely different attitude from before, and replied, “No objections.” Emmett nodded in agreement and said to Yvette, “Don’t worry, I’ll prepare everything on the list as soon as possible. There will be no problem setting off early tomorrow morning.” Hearing that, Yvette nodded slightly, and then she casually picked up the backpack from the couch, walked past them, and headed for the door.
Once noticing she was leaving, Emmett quickly spoke up, “Ms. Zeller, you should take this suite. We’ll go out and find another hotel nearby.” Emmett suggested this because he knew the rooms in the Regal Tower had already been all booked at this hour, leaving no choice but for Yvette to stay while they looked elsewhere. The other three people also thought the same way, but they didn’t speak up because they weren’t so familiar with Yvette yet.
Yvette paused in her steps and responded, “There’s no need. I’ve already reserved a room at 520. I’ll meet you all downstairs in the morning.”
After the door clicked shut, Emmett started to think about roort something was ofl.
He turned around and asked the other three, with a stiff voice,” 520 is the top presidential suite.”
