“Let that bastard suffer a bit, it’ll help vent my anger!” Emily Carter thought to herself. However, after William Parker was defeated, she planned to step in and make William Parker lose face, but she found herself unable to go through with it. Even though she kept reminding herself that William Parker was an utterly despicable pervert, every time she met William Parker’s pure eyes, her heart would soften. Besides, she could never forget that streak of crimson on William Parker’s arm.

Chapter 12: Tai Chi, Play You to Death

George Baker took a step forward and sneered coldly at the four of them: “Which one of you wants to come?”

Daniel King and Brian Hughes stepped forward at the same time, a cold gleam flashing in their eyes. But just then, a pair of fair yet powerful hands landed on their shoulders. It didn’t look forceful, but both of them suddenly felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on them, their bodies sinking. Shocked, they turned around, only to see William Parker’s simple, honest eyes, with a hint of a smile.

“I’ll go.” The crisp and calm voice came from William Parker, sounding completely relaxed. Daniel King and Brian Hughes exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. They looked at William Parker in surprise, nodded, and stepped back at the same time, cursing inwardly: “Damn, what a freak, pretending to be innocent—now there’s going to be a show at Jinghua University.” They knew their own strength, but with just a casual touch from William Parker, they couldn’t take another step forward.

No one understood what had happened. All they saw was Daniel King and Brian Hughes stepping forward angrily, then William Parker placing his hand on them and saying something, after which the two retreated without protest. The one who understood best in the crowd was Lily Morgan, whose pure eyes now held a faint smile.

“This damn pervert, acting tough when he’s got nothing!” Emily Carter cursed William Parker inwardly when she saw this. In fact, she had felt a bit relieved when she saw Daniel King and Brian Hughes about to step up, but she hadn’t expected that damn pervert to be so stubborn and insist on going himself.

“If you can’t win, just admit defeat and be a coward. Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you.” George Baker gave William Parker an evil grin, making the crowd’s expressions change. Wasn’t this just making it impossible for William Parker to admit defeat? They sighed inwardly, thinking William Parker was doomed. Judging by George Baker’s demeanor, he didn’t look like he’d go easy at all.

“Mm, okay, I will!” William Parker nodded seriously, his eyes sincere.

Everyone was speechless!

Even George Baker was stunned for a moment, then looked at William Parker as if he were an idiot.

“You go first!” George Baker beckoned to William Parker.

“Oh!” William Parker nodded cheerfully and ran toward George Baker. In George Baker’s eyes, his speed was no different from a snail’s.

William Parker swung his arm, palm facing forward, slowly reaching for George Baker’s chest. Watching this, everyone felt sleepy—at this speed and strength, any ordinary person could take care of William Parker.

A flash of strong disdain appeared in George Baker’s eyes. This kind of trash actually wanted to fight him? He casually slapped at William Parker, the wind whistling. With this slap, William Parker would probably be sent flying.

William Parker’s palm shifted slightly, actually blocking George Baker’s hand in midair. Just as everyone was expecting to hear the sound of bones breaking, they saw George Baker and William Parker’s wrists intertwine, slowly moving together. The instant defeat they imagined didn’t happen, and George Baker’s expression changed slightly. He felt as if his hand had hit thin air, with nowhere to exert force.

“Tai Chi!” Seeing the two’s wrists intertwining and moving, the crowd was stunned, and someone even cried out in surprise.

“Tai Chi!” William Parker’s mind stirred when he heard this. If he used his full strength to instantly defeat his opponent, it would be too shocking, so he deliberately hid his true power.

Scenes from Tai Chi in TV dramas he’d watched as a child flashed through his mind, and he began to imitate the moves. His left palm reached out, and then, together with George Baker’s hands, began to move in circles. George Baker was now very frustrated. He could clearly feel that the other’s strength wasn’t great, but his attacking hands just couldn’t break through. To outsiders, it looked as if he was being led by the nose by William Parker.

George Baker’s gaze grew more serious. He now understood that William Parker was far from as simple and honest as he appeared—this was someone who liked to play dumb to catch the tiger.

At this moment, Emily Carter’s eyes were filled with surprise. A flash of insight crossed her mind—last night, when William Parker casually tapped her foot, could it have been intentional? Thinking of this possibility, and seeing the fight between William Parker and George Baker, Emily Carter became more and more certain, her gaze tinged with a hint of angry shyness as she glared at William Parker in the fight, thinking to herself: “Damn pervert, rotten bastard, acting so innocent—turns out he was deliberately taking advantage of me.”

George Baker and William Parker’s hands were still intertwined, and William Parker was getting more and more into it, turning passive into active, starting to lead George Baker’s hands in movement. Thinking of the masters like Zhang Wuji from those old TV dramas, his Tai Chi gradually began to show its power. Poor George Baker had completely become William Parker’s experimental subject for his memories, his body starting to spin, leaving everyone utterly dumbfounded.
