Chapter 212. Duel (2)
'Swish!'
The old man swung his sword horizontally and Ren jumped to the side to dodge.
Far from blocking the attacks, he was now dodging them by jumping to the sides. There are many times when the old man's sword will brush his shoulder.
And he has to say it really hurts!
But even after that, Ren was still going on with the duel. He didn't know how to win it but there was only one thought in his mind.
'I have to win!!'
”You are really weak. Why do you keep dodging? You should face me head on like a man.”
”This duel will not even last a second if I did that.”
Ren said while dodging another attack.
He couldn't help but think that he will lose. It was because the difference between him and the old man was tremendous.
He was like an extra while the old man was a protagonist or he should say that he was currently the villain, at least for Ren.
”You are really weak. Are all actors weak like you?”
”I am an actor, not a martial artist.”
”Then, let me ask you a question. Why are you so hell bent on doing that role. Won't actors like you get many such roles?”
'Why do I want to do the role?'
The answer was simple and it didn't take much time for Ren to answer that.
”It's because it will help me in taking a step towards my dream.”
”What is this dream you are talking about?”
”The dream to reach the top and proudly exclaim that no one is above me. I want to show the world what I can do!!”
'Swish!'
Ren attacked the old man while saying that. Those words have made him motivated to some extent but the old man casually blocked his attack and said.
”You have a big dream but I don't know if you have the resolve to reach it. I have seen many young people exclaiming big things but never doing it.”
”I am not like those.”
”That is to me to decide. Now, show your resolution!!”
The old man said as he attacked Ren straight to the soldier and he was not able to dodge it this time.
”Kyak….!!”
Ren cried out as he dropped his sword. He felt like his shoulder had been greatly hurt.
”I advise you to give up on your dream. You can't achieve it with your half assed resolve.”
The old man said as he mocked Ren. At that moment, a voice interrupted the duel.
”Stop this duel!!”
CEO Xu quickly came forward seeing Ren squatting on the ground holding his shoulder.
”You can't hurt him like that.”
She said as she glared at the old man while he simply laughed and said.
”Young lady, it's not my fault. It's a duel and anybody can get hurt in it. I can't do anything about this.”
”I don't care about that.”
”CEO Xu, stop.”
Ren interjected on the conversation and said as he struggled to stand up.
”What are you saying? I'm talking for you.”
”You don't have to. I think I can fight on my own.”
”You clearly can't fight. Just give up on it.”
”No, I can still go on!!”
Ren raised his voice this time and CEO Xu looked at him strangely.
'If I can't even fight on in a duel, then how can I achieve my dream!!'
