Before long, George Baker felt the world spinning, his mind dazed, and his steps growing unsteady. Even after William Parker let go of him, he continued to stagger in place.

Staring blankly at everything unfolding before them—so utterly different from what they had imagined—the crowd swallowed hard. Damn, Tai Chi! At this moment, none of them dared look at William Parker as if he were a fool. Clearly, he was a true expert. George Baker was famous for his fighting skills at Jinghua University, yet he was being toyed with in the palm of William Parker's hand.

"George Baker!" Seeing this, Andrew Hill and Edward Hamilton both shouted at once. At this moment, William Parker stopped toying with George Baker, reached out to grab him again, pushed him back, then pulled him forward. The dazed George Baker fell straight to his knees, kneeling right at William Parker's feet.

Did they really think William Parker had no temper? Make him kneel and apologize, call someone grandpa? Ever since he experienced the pain of losing his parents, William Parker swore that no one would ever take his family or friends from him again. Especially now that he possessed great strength, this resolve was even stronger. No one around him could be bullied, let alone force him to call someone grandpa. Wasn’t this touching William Parker's reverse scale!

"George Baker!" Edward Hamilton and Andrew Hill shouted again, their figures flashing as they rushed over, trying to rescue George Baker. William Parker lifted his head and looked at the two of them. In that instant, his honest and simple demeanor vanished without a trace, replaced by an incomparably sharp aura. Though it flashed by in an instant, it made Edward Hamilton and his companion’s hearts tremble violently. Their steps halted immediately, and they stared blankly at William Parker. Only now did they realize that even if they went forward, they would only be beaten. In that brief moment, swept by William Parker's sharp aura, they were shocked to find their backs already drenched in sweat.

Silence. At this moment, the open space was eerily quiet. Everyone stared blankly at the proud and upright William Parker standing in the center, and at George Baker kneeling before him, their minds in chaos. After that flash of sharpness, William Parker's eyes returned to their honest simplicity, looking completely harmless!

Chapter 13: An Unexpected Expert

After a while, George Baker regained some clarity. He looked at William Parker in shock, but that honest gaze seemed utterly fake to him. Seeing himself kneeling on the ground, a ruthless look flashed across his face. His figure flickered as George Baker tried to attack William Parker again.

"Still not embarrassed enough?" A cold voice rang out. George Baker's movement stopped abruptly, freezing him in place. The crowd turned toward the source of the voice and saw two young men walking side by side toward them. From head to toe, both wore designer brands. With handsome faces, sharp and bright eyes, and extraordinary bearing, they were the very image of the prince charming in every girl's heart. The one on the left had long, flowing hair draped over his shoulders, with a hint of gentleness and a very delicate appearance—one could even call him beautiful. The one on the right had a crew cut, a face full of masculine energy, and an aura of strength.

"Charles Reed, Samuel Brooks!" The crowd instantly recognized them and cried out in surprise. The two were extremely famous at Jinghua University. Charles Reed, president of the dance club, was a superb dancer with outstanding looks and bearing. Many talent agents had their eyes on him, hoping to make him a future star, but he had refused them all. Wherever he went, he was always the most dazzling presence.

As for Samuel Brooks, his fame was no less than Charles Reed's, perhaps even greater. He was the president of the Jinghua University martial arts club, known as the university’s top expert, with immense strength—he could lift a tripod. Moreover, he was one of Emily Carter's many suitors. Ever since he announced his pursuit of Emily Carter, all the other boys at Jinghua University who claimed they would marry no one but Emily Carter immediately backed off, not daring to show themselves again. It was clear how influential Samuel Brooks was at Jinghua University.

There was another point: it was said that both Charles Reed and Samuel Brooks came from extremely powerful and influential families. Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t care about them.

Edward Hamilton and Andrew Hill breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Charles Reed and his companion arrive. After witnessing William Parker's extraordinary strength, they had sent a text message to Charles Reed. Sure enough, upon hearing about Dongfang Xiaoyue and Emily Carter, Charles Reed and Samuel Brooks arrived quickly.

"Tap, tap, tap!" Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rang out. Without a word, Charles Reed broke into a sprint, heading straight for William Parker. Not only was Charles Reed an outstanding dancer, but he also possessed remarkable martial arts skills.

The crowd felt their eyes blur—he was so fast! Only now, seeing Charles Reed's true speed, did they realize how formidable he was. And this was just Charles Reed; as for Samuel Brooks, who had arrived with him, how terrifying must his strength be?

Daniel King and Brian Hughes's faces changed dramatically. Although William Parker was strong, facing the powerful Charles Reed, they didn’t think he stood a chance. Emily Carter's heart tightened as well, watching William Parker nervously.
