Arthur gazed at Philip’s stern face and didn’t hesitate any longer. Turning to Apollo, who was sitting on the couch, he said, “Let’s see what you’ve got.”
He felt a twin
of discomfort as he said this, as if he were intimidating a child.
It’s not a fair fight: it’s one–sided aggression!
Oh, well. I can’t disobey the commander’s orders….
I’ll just stop when I have the upper hand. He’s just a kid.
Milly had been living with the Burnetts for a while now and was familiar with Arthur, so she was surprised to see Philip letting Arthur spar with Apollo. Her eyes widened in shock.
“Grandpa, should we just forget about this?”
Philip remained calm, his expression unchanging as he fiddled with the beads in his hand. “If the kid wins, I’ll let him carry the Burnetts‘ last name.
“When you start school, I’ll take care of him and guide him. What do you think?”
Milly listened to Philip’s words, biting her lip and remaining silent.
The conditions were indeed appealing. If Apollo had Philip’s protection, even if he was different from everyone else, no one would dare say anything to him.
But she still felt uneasy….
“Grandpa, Apollo is still young and hasn’t received any training. He can’t control his emotions yet. If they really fight, I’m worried something might happen
Philip hadn’t responded yet when Arthur spoke up to reassure her, ‘Don’t worry, Ms. Burnett. I’ll make sure to hold back and not hurt this young boy.”
Milly was speechless.
I’m not worried about Arthur hurting Apollo; I’m worried about Apollo harming Arthur!
Never mind. The conditions are indeed good. It’s a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity. I’ll just pay attention and intervene if things get out of hand.
Thinking about this, she turned to Apollo with a serious expression.
“Apollo, remember to stop when I say so. Don’t kill, okay?”
Apollo looked puzzled and tilted his head. “Ah–woo?”
“Just knock him down like you did that big black dog earlier. As soon as you do that, you have to stop fighting, okay?”
Apollo’s bright eyes sparkled as he nodded enthusiastically. “Ah–woo!”

“Ah–wool”
Apollo stood up and walked towards Arthur at Milly’s orders, but when he turned around and faced. Arthur, his eyes flashed with impatience.
Arthur felt a shiver run down his spine at the intensity of those red eyes, which reminded him of the Wolf King he had encountered when he was on a mission a long time ago
He cleared his throat and composed himself before looking down at Apollo’s small form. “Don’t be scared. The commander just wants to test your strength. I’ll let you make three moves first. After that, I’ll attack.”
Apollo’s eyebrows furrowed in annoyance as he thought Arthur was really noisy!
Apollo’s eyes seemed to glaze over, his face a mask of calmness as he gazed at Arthur with an intensity that bordered on unsettling. Before Arthur could react, Apollo had already taken him down in a flash, his grip on Arthur’s neck like a vice.
The only people looking somewhat normal were Milly and George, who knew the truth about Apollo’s abilities.
Apollo’s eyes lit up at Milly’s praise, and he beamed with joy, bobbing his head up and down. “Ah–woo!”
Philip regained his composure, and he stroked his nose, still trying to process what had just happened. He figured his eyesight was failing due to his age.
As he thought this over, he nodded slightly. “That’s right… Arthur did let him make a few moves first. Let’s try again. Arthur, you don’t need to go easy on him now.”
