Hannah immediately stopped Nathan when he was about to leave.
“What are you doing? Natalie brought you out to meet her friends, and you’re leaving without saying goodbye?” Hannah said.
“I guess he probably saw Mr. Luke’s skills and felt ashamed.” Mr. Mandy laughed.
Then he said to Natalie, “Natalie, fencing is a noble sport. But he is a bumpkin, so he doesn’t know how to play. Thus, it is understandable if he wants to leave in advance.”
Natalie said coldly, “Nathan, don’t think yourself too important. I brought you here, and you dare to embarrass me? How would my dad think of you if I told him?”
Luke sorted out his protective gear and said lightly, “Forget it, Natalie. A bumpkin will never become a noble. Fencing is not suitable for him, so just let him go to the basketball court outside.”
Nathan twitched his mouth, shook his head, and said, “I’m not interested in this kind of fancy sport. Swords are for killing people, not for playing.”
Mr. Mandy jeered Nathan and said, “How dare you judge fencing? I think you are ranting on purpose because you don’t know how to fence at all.”
“If you think you can do it, don’t sneak away like a coward and practice with Mr. Luke!”
Luke shook his head and said, “Forget it, don’t force him. I’m afraid that I might hurt him.”
Nathan also knew that if he didn’t act, these guys would never let him go. And he wouldn’t know how to get out of this matter if Hector knew about it.
Nathan frowned and said, “Okay, I’ll be gentle.”
“So ridiculous! Have you ever played fencing before, you bumpkin? You’re so arrogant!” Hannah was the first to laugh.
Luke narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “Since you want to try, I’ll play with you.”
Nathan wanted to get it done as soon as possible so he wouldn’t need to deal with Jade again. He picked up a sword.
“Put on the protective gear, I’m afraid I might cripple you,” Luke said.
“It’s not necessary. Let’s end this quickly.” Nathan weighed the toy-like sword with his hand and shook his head.
Luke felt rather annoyed. ”Okay, let’s get started!”
He stepped away and pointed his sword at Nathan. Then, he breathed deeply, and the sword in his hand was as steady as a column. A terrifying pressure suddenly appeared around him.
Nathan stood leisurely without even raising his sword. Clearly, people could see he didn’t know how to fence.
“Looking at the way he stands and holds the sword, you can tell that he is a layman. He’s so pretentious and didn’t even wear protective gear. I’m afraid Mr. Luke might stab his eyes with one strike!” Mr. Mandy said with a sneer.
Natalie saw it and became hesitated.
Hannah seemed to see her softening and immediately said, “Natalie, you can’t hesitate! We have to let him know the difference between him and us. Otherwise, he might never agree to divorce!”
“Luke knows what he’s doing and won’t hurt Nathan badly. Don’t worry…”
Natalie nodded slightly.
“Start!”
