"I understand."
Matthew Collins raised his fist with a fierce expression on his face.
"Tyr Summers was a useless coward. You'd better make me proud and not embarrass me later" Stephen Cole warned.
Matthew Collins chuckled. "That's my skill."
In the afternoon, Stephen Cole took Tyr Sumers and Winifred around the city.
Because Winifred Zea knew in her heart that Stephen Cole and Matthew Collins were up to something bad, she decided to go ahead and find out for herself.
Once they are on the road, Stephen Cole attempts to create an opportunity for Matthew Collins to show his qualities in order to make up for the awkwardness when he gives him a gift.
However, that person was truly like a pig that did not know how to please a woman. Matthew was even able to keep his conversation with Winifred.
Because of that, Winifred Zea had an unpleasant expression on her face throughout the journey.
Meanwhile, Tyr Summers sighed while observing the two. In fact, she felt that Matthew Collins could not be considered a rival for her love.
After some time, the group of people arrived at a place called Hidden Vanguard Boxing Gym.
Since Riverville City was the city next to the port, it was common for its citizens to solve the problem of using violence.
Therefore, the number of fist ring gyms in this city was more than the number that existed in all the other cities in Riverdale Province.
Meanwhile, Hidden Vanguard Boxing Gym is known as the most famous boxing gym in the city of Riverville.
Stephen Cole and Matthew Collins invited Tyr Summers and Winifred Zea to the Hidden Vanguard Boxing Gym.
As a woman, Winifred Zea was extremely dislikeful of this place. Moreover, he also knew that these two people were planning something bad. Hence, he rejected their offer.
However, his cousin did not stop bothering him. In the end, he had no choice but to enter.
As the four of them entered the boxing gym, they could see some of the young boxers were already sweating.
When people saw Matthew Collins enter, many of them approached to greet him.
"Sister Matthew, you've returned."
"Good morning, brother. How many people are you going to fight today?"
One could tell that Matthew Collins frequented the Hidden Vanguard Boxing Gym. He is also quite famous in the gym.
Matthew Collins was thrilled to be able to show off his popularity in front of the woman he liked.
"Winifred, Matthew is very famous around here. Everyone respected him" Stephen Cole interjected. "Don't be fooled by his stupid appearance. He's an animal."
While Stephen Cole was speaking, he pointed towards the large boxing samsack that hung next to Tyr Summers. "See this. This boxing bag is known as the Treasure of Hidden Vanguard Boxing Gym. It contains iron sand and weighs up to 360 kilograms. To this day, only two people have managed to defeat him. One of them was the famous Iron Fist Master, who came here a year ago and moved the punching bag three meters away with a single punch.
The other person is Matthew.
With a single punch, he managed to make the punching bag move for half a meter!"
Winifred Zea seemed to be speechless. “Cousin brother, why bother telling me this? You know I'm not interested."
"You're a woman. It's only natural that you don't like it. But your husband has to show it too. If not, how can he protect you and your daughter?" As he spoke, Stephen Cole looked at Tyr Summers with a provoking look. "Tyr Summers, don't blame me for underestimating me. Here's Me. I don't like cowardly men. Therefore, I don't think you deserve Winifred. If you're not happy with what I'm saying, prove me wrong."
Tyr Summers raised his eyebrows.
Meanwhile, Matthew Collins had jumped into one of the boxing rings.
"I, Matthew Collins, want to challenge someone here today." His voice can be heard all over the gym.
"This man has taken my beloved. I will use the most manly means to bring my lover back, through this boxing ring."
There's a commotion at the boxing gym.
Who would dare to compete with Brother Matthew for the sake of fighting over a woman?
"Sister Matthew started to get emotional. It's your life."
Everyone in the crowd seemed to be looking around for the poor man Matthew Collins was referring to.
Just then, Matthew Collins pointed to Tyr Summers while he started yelling provocatively.
"Tyr Summers, if you're a real man, come forward and fight me. Whoever loses must leave Winifred alone!"
Suddenly, everyone turned to look at Tyr Summers.
When they saw Tyr Summers with his thin physique, many of them started laughing.
"I can't believe this kid dared to compete with Matthew for a woman. I don't think he could even take a single blow from Matthew."
"Yes. Matthew was the one who managed to make the Treasure of Hidden Vanguard Boxing Gym move half a meter."
Stephen Cole smiled half-heartedly at Tyr Summers. "Tyr Summers, if you're a man, go there and fight Matthew alone. If you want to continue being a useless coward, stay away from Winifred."
At that moment, Winifred Zea's face had already turned red. "Cousin-brother, you don't have to worry about me or my personal life. Do you think there's any point in doing this?" Winifred Zea added, before glaring at Matthew Collins who is now in the boxing ring. "Matthew Collins, get off right now. I've told you many times before. You and I don't fit."
The crowd was back in an uproar.
"Winifred, feelings can grow over time" says Matthew Collins. "You haven't found my charm. I believe that you will eventually fall in love with me."
As Matthew Collins spoke, he began to show off his powerful body in earnest.
"Winifred, I'll show you my manhood today. At the same time, I want you to also realize that the coward next to you is completely inappropriate for you."
When Matthew Collins started shouting, the people around him started to get excited as well.
"Tyr Summers, if you're a man, come up here."
However, Tyr Summers did not budge at all. He was in no mood to fight Matthew Collins because he felt Matthew was not a worthy opponent.
More importantly, his wife was not an object for grabs betting.
"Tyr Summers, I don't like this place. Let's go." said Winifred Zea.
"Good."
The couple left.
Undoubtedly, everyone there looked down on their behavior.
"Omong empty, do you want to escape?"
"Coward. You don't even dare to get in the ring. What kind of man are you?"
"Ha ha ha! A useless coward! If you're so afraid of dying, hand over the woman!"
Stephen Cole won't let Tyr Summers go. He immediately stood in front of Tyr Summers, blocking them from getting out of this place.
"Cousin brother, are you done playing around?"
"Winifred, don't get involved in this. Come out with me."
As Stephen Cole spoke, he forcefully dragged Winifred Zea's body out of the boxing gym. Meanwhile, Tyr Summers gaze turned cold.
When Stephen Cole turned around, he looked at Tyr Summers with an equally cold gaze. "Tyr Summers, if you really want to be the man of my female cousin, get in the ring. Don't make me demean you, '" he added.
