Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1489

“If he hadn’t wounded me with a hidden weapon back then, I would have definitely won!”

“But I don’t know where he hides his weapons, or how to defend against them. So I probably can’t help you much.”

“You must be familiar with Puthai’s moves,” Tarquin said.

“I am!” the old man declared immediately. “Back then, I couldn’t stand their family’s underhanded ways, so I dedicated myself to defeating them! I studied them extensively.”

“Then you can help me. By knowing his moves and preparing in advance, I can guarantee a win.”

The old man nodded. “If I can truly help you, I certainly will. Defeating Puthai has always been my dream! Even now, I wish I could get in the ring and fight him myself!”

“If you’d like to attend the match in three months, I’ll arrange for someone to take you,” Tarquin offered.

The old man’s eyes lit up. “You would really do that?”

“Consider it done.”

“Excellent! That’s wonderful!”

Elated, the old man was ready to start explaining The Punikon Family’s techniques right away.

“No rush,” Tarquin said. “It’s late today. We can start tomorrow.”

“Alright. You’ve traveled a long way, so you must be tired. Get a good night’s rest, and I’ll explain everything to you tomorrow.”

“Mm. I hear the mountain tribes who train eagles live not far from here.”

“Are you interested in the mountain tribes?” the old man asked.

Feigning a casual tone, Tarquin said, “I saw some videos online of them hunting with eagles. I’m curious how they manage to tame such fierce birds.”

The old man smiled. “Eagle training is their tradition. The nomads are a people who worship heroes. They capture the eagles, break them, and train them. For generations, they have lived side-by-side with eagles. Every family trains them.”

“In fact, one of the children who studies martial arts with me is a boy from the highland tribes. He’s only seven, but he’s already learning to train eagles.”
