Chapter 40

---

I had no weapon, and neither did she, so it was a physical fight. I prepared myself, but she remained standing straight, showing no intention of attacking me. So, I was the one to make the first move. I ran toward her, leaped into the air, and unleashed a powerful kick. I was shocked when she blocked it with one arm and didn’t even budge from her position.

I kicked her several more times, but she didn't flinch. I thought it would be easy, but this woman was strong, even though she had a slim build.

"Done?" She asked, bored, but I didn’t respond. I just stared at her, thinking of how to bring her down. "Now, it's my turn." I saw how fast she moved to my back, and with a single blow to my neck, I was knocked down.

Shit! I didn’t expect that one hit would knock me down. She threatened to step on me, so I quickly rolled away, but as soon as I got up, her kick landed right on my face, sending me crashing into the wall. I coughed and stood up, wiping the blood from my lips.
