Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1062

"Cut you some slack, for your sake," he said with a smirk that was all too confident.

"What the heck did you do?!" I was flabbergasted.

The boss, wearing a smug grin, boasted, "Torturing folks? I'm leagues ahead of you in that game!"

Evan, puzzled, asked, "Why are you helping me?"

"Consider it a welcome gift from your new mentor!"

"What?!"

"Kid, you know the saying: 'Bite off more than you can chew, and you'll be eating out of someone's hand.' I helped you out, so now you owe me."

Evan blinked in disbelief. Owe him? What was this, some kind of trap?

"Hold up, I never asked for your help!"

But before Evan could further protest, his knees buckled suddenly, and before he knew it, he was kneeling on the ground with a thud.

The boss quickly pushed his head forward in a mock bow.

Evan shoved him away, hopping back to his feet, "What are you doing?!"

The boss was practically beaming.

"The initiation's complete. From now on, you're my apprentice! Forget about that old geezer. You're under my wing now!"

Evan was dumbfounded, "Are you out of your mind?!"

The boss threw his head back and laughed heartily, "Haha, avoiding me won't save you. If you won't give me my revenge, I'll just steal your apprentice!"

Evan was at a loss for words. Steal, as in... kill?

"Listen up, from today, you call me 'Master'! You're gonna learn all my tricks! At least two hours a day!"

"I... I'm telling you, I don't accept this!"

"Accept it or not, it's not up to you!"

The boss moved swiftly, forcing Evan to retreat.

His punches were fierce and unfamiliar, leaving Evan no choice but to defend himself.

Hidden in the shadows, White watched from behind a tree, tongue-tied.

It seemed his young master was in a tight spot, but this odd old man hadn't hurt him. Should he intervene?
