Chapter 434 The Mockery

The days that followed were uneventful.

Nathan took a rest to take care of his body, leaving his things at work to others. The

Giradia group made steady progress and was approaching the end of the project.

Gussie made progress so rapidly that Nathan couldn’t help but admire her secretly.

If she had been discovered and trained earlier, she would make formidable

achievements in the future. Of course, her level was not poor now.

Gussie quickly mastered the most basic gesture of Wuxing Fists, the splitting fist. To

get started with this series of fists, the

first gesture to practice was the splitting fist.

Once the splitting fist was well practiced, the drilling fist, the crushing fist, the cannon

fist, and the crossing fist could be easily grasped.

Compared with Gussie, Julian seemed to be a slow learner. After all, talent was not

something that could be made up for by hard work

“From today onwards, you come to me every day after work, and you need to do extra

practice,” Nathan told Gussie after the day’s training was over.

“Okay.” Gussie agreed.

She felt changes in her body and even in her temperament.

She felt that she had grown a lot more courageous. Now she was much more openminded about many things, and her fears of some things had gradually faded away.

Whenever she was afraid, she would practice the splitting fist, which would dissipate

all the negative emotions.

In the past few days, Nathan took Julian and Gussie to practice during the day and

went to the 81st Division to arrange the schedule of training. If he was in a good

mood, he would go back to the company, otherwise, he would just wander around.

He had passed these days in a very relaxed and comfortable condition, which even

made him a little unaccustomed to it.

“It’s almost Christmas day. I don’t know if dad will come back from prison this year.”

Nathan glanced at the calendar on the desk and couldn’t help but sigh over how fast

time had passed.

After work, everyone was busy working overtime, while Nathan reduced Gussie’s

workload and asked her to practice with him.

Gussie was wearing white sportswear, and her hair was combed into a ponytail,

looking very plain.

Nathan said, “The next stage of training will be very painful and is indeed physical

torture. It is an indispensable part, and you have to persevere.”

Gussie said, “I will work hard!”

Nathan took out a bunch of rubber bands and said, “It’s enough to practice boxing by

yourself every day. Next, what I want to train are your muscles and bones.”

After saying this, he threw the rubber bands into the bucket and stirred the water to

make them wet.

He took out the rubber bands that were slippery with water. Moreover, they were tied

into a tight knot..

“Practice finger strength today, untie all of them.” Nathan threw the rubber bands in

front of Gussie.

Gussie originally thought it was too simple. But once she got started, she immediately

realized that something was wrong!

The rubber bands were very slippery and could only be held with fingertips. Moreover,

the knot was tightly tied and shrank after being soaked in water. It was very difficult to

untie it.

She worked hard and used all her strength to untie the first rubber band.

Then, she found that her fingertips were already red, and the blood seemed to be

oozing out of the nails. What ensued was severe pain that almost penetrated through

her.

Nathan sat cross-legged beside her, supporting his chin with one hand and looking at

her lazily. He raised his hand and said,

“Go on!”

Gussie gritted her teeth and picked up the second rubber band to untie the knot. This

time she changed the other two fingers to untie it, which made it more difficult.

Ten minutes later, she untied the second rubber band with sweat all over her body.

She felt like she got a cramp in her fingers, and they trembled violently in the air like

those of Parkinson’s patients.

She looked up and saw that there were more than twenty rubber bands at her side.

The rubber band was too difficult to untie when it was wet. Every time she exerted

force, she had to squeeze her nails hard to find the point of force. Moreover, the knot

was so tight that it took a lot of effort to make it looser.

“Before I manage to untie the knot, I’m afraid I will develop tenosynovitis first.” Gussie

couldn’t help questioning him.

“Stop talking nonsense. You can quit if you don’t want to practice anymore.” Nathan

said coldly, his face darkening.

Gussie pouted her lips and lowered her head to untie the third rubber band.

This time it was even more difficult. Her fingers were weak after she used up her

strength, and the pain was unbearable. But, she was afraid of being scolded by

Nathan and had to bite the bullet.

Nathan said, “This is a relatively simple practice. If I choose to drench the rubber

bands in the grease, you will know the taste of despair.”

Gussie almost lost her confidence when she heard this, but she felt it a pity to give up

halfway and make all her previous efforts futile. So, she chose to persevere.

Today, Gussie untied a total of ten rubber bands, and she pulled apart the last one

almost with her mouth.

She spread her hands and found all her fingers worn out and her nails a little cracked

with blood under them.

“Okay, let’s stop here today. Come here, and I’ll apply medicine to your wounds and

give you a massage. We will practice body skills tomorrow.” Nathan said with a halfsmile.

Gussie stretched out her trembling hands, which hurt and made her cry out in pain

when held by Nathan’s hands.

Nathan applied the special potion to his hands, which produced a stimulating effect on

her skin. After being massaged for a while, Gussie felt that her fingers were warm and

that the pain was relieved.

She looked carefully and found that the extravasated blood beneath the nails was

gradually fading at an astonishing speed.

“Don’t give up. In fact, you are cut out for martial arts.” Nathan held her hand and

encouraged her.

“Really?” Gussie couldn’t help cheering up, “You said I was a useless waste before!”

“Hah, did I? I’m not such a strict person!” Nathan said with a straight face..

Gussie despised him inwardly. This despicable man didn’t admit what he had said!

Nathan said, “Eat more high-protein foods and take vitamins these days. The next few

days will be very tiring and should be the critical moment for the development of

skills!”

Gussie said, “Okay, I will not be lax!”

Nathan patted her hand and said, “This little hand is really soft.”

“Swish!”

Gussie immediately pulled her hands back and despised him inwardly, “I’m afraid he

can’t wait to find some way to train my chest.”

Nathan was about to continue to tease her when the phone rang. He took it and found

that it was Natasha calling.

This call came too late.

Obviously, Natasha did not admit defeat and had made some resistance in vain after

returning to Emperia City.

In the end, she could only bear the humiliation and call Nathan.

Nathan smiled. If the call was made two days later, the Porter Group in Emperia City

would probably declare bankruptcy.

“I’ll answer the phone first,” Nathan said calmly and walked aside.

He put the mobile phone to his ear and said with a smile, “Hey, isn’t this Ms. Porter?

Why did you suddenly think of greeting me? Have you settled your relationship with

Jade?”

His opening speech made Natasha so furious that she wanted to strangle him to

death by coming over through the phone line.
