Chapter 435 - Were not too sure either... (1/2)
Aside from raw power, Mikhail's body could also take more damage than a normal person. Unless I specifically aim for his vital spots in rapid succession, I would have a difficult time taking him down.
Well, what I meant by letting loose earlier was trying to take him down without doing what could achieve it the quickest way possible. Essentially what I was trying to do was have a difficult time.
”All for the sake of having the sphincter tight. Why did I even start to use self-imposed rules this time? Hope I don't start to get a bowl cut and bushy eyebrows...” I thought to myself as I even doubted myself for a stupid decision.
I started dancing with the big guy.
My palms were lightly clenched when Mikhail opened up with a crisp left jab. I moved towards it but my feet were going in the direction of his left side. His fist quickly retracted for another jab but jabbing while aiming at someone from an angle away from you would give out a very small opening unless you pivot your body towards the same direction.
Well, Mikhail f.u.c.k.i.n.g did.
I shuffled for almost half a circle before he got fed up and threw a right hook instead.
Mikhail's face was wide open but I timed my right fist to hammer down on his right wrist and it was only possible after a step back and because he was taller than me. I added power to the strike and his body slightly compensated as his hand blew downwards.
A frontal kick to his face was the best next move but I sent an axe kick towards his right shoulder. The feedback was great but I quickly rolled sideways to avoid his left arm that was reaching for me.
Our position was reset and he figured out what I was trying to do.
We continued for a time but no one landed a knock-out blow. Our timer was miraculously heard for the first time because it would usually end much faster than five minutes. However, I saw him rotating his wrist and his shoulder after the fight because those were the two spots I always aimed for.
”Trying something new Boss?” Mikhail said after handing me a cup of water.
”Something like that. We still have a lot of Ibuprofen but I just wanted to save a couple.” I joked.
We were casually chatting when our radios buzzed one after the other. It was rare for this to happen and the atmosphere quickly changed. Jessica and her group noticed our expression but I grabbed my radio just by the side of the door. I asked Russel to turn the music off because we couldn't hear the message clearly.

”What is it?”

”It's hard to explain sir. It would be better if you see this yourself. It came from the highway and a few more were trickling in.”

”What? Trickling in?”

”Umm, we're really at a loss here sir. Please come at the earliest so you could see it for yourself.”
