Chapter 103 - One Punch Woman (2/2)
On the side, Sean sighed as he watched the fight. It was like watching a cat play with a mouse before killing it.
Emerson glanced curiously at the man. Why did he sigh? ”Does Halia know how to box? Should I be worried about her?” he asked anxiously.
Sean shook his head and smirked, ”You should be worried about her opponent instead...”
At that moment, a loud bang echoed across the room.
Emerson quickly turned back to look at the boxing ring, just in time to see Halia's glove impact against Marissa's face. As blood sprayed from her mouth, Marissa dropped on the floor and immediately fell unconscious.
Everyone fell silent in shock.
This mysterious woman had just knocked Marissa Qian out with one punch!

At this time, over in France, Jackson had just woken up to another beautiful spring day. When he first arrived at the country home, it was fairly hard to adjust to life there since he had been living in the city for many years, but now that several days had passed, he was beginning to get used to it.
Every morning, the rooster crowed at dawn and the owners of the home would wake up to cook breakfast. After that, the smell of food and coffee would waft into his room and he'd hear Amelie and Alexander in the kitchen. He'd join them for breakfast and head out onto the field to help once he was done. Then they had lunch at 1pm, dinner at 7pm and bedtime would be at 10pm. It was the same - every single day.
That day, as he headed out onto the field, he noticed Mr. Martin, the owner of the vineyard, was nowhere to be seen. ”Where's Mr. Martin,” Jackson asked the man's wife.
”Today is Delivery Day. He's delivering the gr.a.p.es to our winery so they can turn it into wine. My son runs the winery, so it gives us an excuse to visit every few days,” the woman replied.
”Is it far from here?” Jackson asked out of curiosity.
”It's back near the main road, about 20 minutes drive from here,” Mrs. Martin replied. ”Maybe you can visit it one day when this is all over.”
”I would like that very much,” Jackson replied. ”Perhaps, I'll even bring my girlfriend if she doesn't break up with me after this.”
”Why would she break up with a charming man like you?” the middle-aged woman chuckled.
”Well, I kinda left without a word and she has no idea where I am or whether I'm ever returning,” Jackson sighed as he thought about the note and flowers he left behind. Did Halia end up seeing them?
”You left her there all on her own? What if your enemies decide to go after her?” the woman asked worriedly.
”Don't worry, she has a few moves up her sleeves. After all, my girlfriend is an SPU agent,” he replied proudly.
