Chapter 714 - 39: Learning Karate

Angelo hammered to the railing beside regretfully with his departure, and then she quickly carried the bags and followed up.

"Drake, please wait."

The sound echoed in the mountain all the time. They two finally climbed half the way, but Angelo was already exhausted and panting.

She threw the bags aside and sat on the ground at will. Because of exhaustion, she was less afraid of Drake now.

"I'm so tired now. I can't move."

Noticing that Drake is to leave again, Angelo grabbed his calf with a swoop. 

Drake seemed to be electrocuted. Though he looked cold still, he stopped. 

"Drake, I got exhausted, really." 

Hearing her words, Drake glanced at Angelo and came to her. Then, he lifted Angelo up and took a bag on his back.

"Follow me."

There was only one bag on the ground. Angelo can just try her best to take it on her back.

With one bag, she felt much more relaxed. So, she hurried to follow up.

After a moment, Angelo collapsed on the ground again. She really can't walk this time.

Drake saw it and took all the bags over, and then said casually.

"It's almost noon. Lunch is in the bag."

Then Drake walked to the mountaintop directly. Hearing his words, Angelo followed up immediately.

She always felt that Drake just took her bags on purpose. She clenched her teeth and continued to walk.

Finally, she climbed up to the top with Drake.

When standing here and watching the people at the foot, she felt rewarding.

Then Drake opened the two bags and took out the folding table and lunch prepared by Hale.

Smelling the delicious food, Angelo turned around right away.

In her heart, she sighed at the big lunch.

"Shall we clean these things, Drake?"

Looking at the clean grass around Drake, Angelo felt guilty for the rubbish she made.

"Don't worry. Someone will come to do it."

Drake wiped his mouth with the tissue, then he stood up and headed down the mountain.

Angelo hurriedly followed up after cleaning herself.

"Where are we going?"

"Go down," still the cold voice.

Angelo rolled her eyes. Of course, she knew they were going down. She wanted to know what they would do after that. She didn't believe Drake would let go of her after the previous torment.

Looking at the back of Drake, she didn't dare to ask more and could only follow behind, indignantly.

Going down without the bag was much easier than going up, so the two got to the foot of the mountain in an hour. Hale was already waiting there for them.

"Get in the car."

Those were the only words Angelo heard, and she could only follow the order.

Angelo looked at the view outside. Still, she couldn't bear her curiosity. She leaned forward to Hale and asked, "Hale, where are we going?"

"Rushmore Karate."

It is the answer from Drake, who gave Angelo a look, rather than Hale.

Rushmore Karate was the most famous karate gym in Boom. Coaches there had won awards in international competitions before their retiring.

Angelo sensed that something bad might happen. She smiled at Drake and then sat back in her seat.

Soon, they arrived at the gym. Angelo got off, she looked around with admiration full of her eyes.

Walking inside, they saw people practicing everywhere. Wade, the principal of the gym, walked to Drake as soon as he saw him.

"Welcome, Mr. Drake."

Drake used to study karate here. Now he was even with the coaches here.

"Please find a coach for my brother Angelo."

Hearing that, Angelo gave a sad face. Karate is a kind of martial arts. To learn it, she had to fight with the coach, and she might be hurt.

OMG! He just did everything to train her, and she just couldn't get rid of it.

Wade came to Angelo, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Angelo!"

As he said, he pinched Angelo's shoulders and then patted on them.

Drake saw that and squinted. He was a little unhappy.

Bearing the heavy pat, Angelo felt that her bones were falling apart.

Wade didn't notice the change in Drake, he touched his chin and said, "Angelo is too weak. He might be injured during practice."

Hearing that, Angelo's eye lit up and then pretended to be weak with a pitiful look.

"If so, I think we should come some other day, brother."

Drake wavered when he saw Angelo looking like this. He wanted Angelo to be strong, but he didn't want "him" to get hurt.

Just then, a muscular man stepped forward, he looked at Drake and looked excited.

Quickly, he kicked at the top of Drake, who blocked the attack with his arm. Then Drake kicked back and hit the man's hand.

"It seems that you have continued your training after graduation," the man praised.

He was Railey, Drake's former coach, and the most famous coach in the gym. He had been getting along with Drake.

"Since you are here, how about you teach Mr. Angelo, Railey?"

"Good."

Railey nodded with a smile and then looked at Angelo with confusion.

"My brother Angelo."

Drake explained and rubbed his wrist. Railey's kick left his arm numb.

"You want to learn karate?"

Railey looked up and down at Angelo, who could only nod after receiving Drake's stern look.

"You have a thin body, but you may be more flexible. As long as you can bear the pain, I can teach you."

Hearing that, Angelo felt she was in a cold icehouse. She looked at Drake, who nodded at her.

Angelo had to follow Railey to the practice area. Drake took a seat in the rest area and picked up a piece of newspaper to read, but he kept looking at the practice area.

"I'll teach you some basic moves, watch it!"

Standing there, Railey clenched his hands, turned aside a little bit, and raised his left foot to kick forward.

"This is the front kick. Do it once."

Railey stopped after he said that. Angelo remembered the move and did it once. But when she kicked her foot out, Railey grabbed her foot.

"Keep doing it. Kick my hand hard."

Then Railey let go of her foot and kept his hand in the height Angelo just kicked. Angelo kicked his hand again and again.

"Kick hard." This sentence kept repeating in the room.

Drake looked down at his wristwatch and squinted.

"Stay here. Send Angelo home later," he said.

Hale agreed and then called Aiken to pick him up.

When Railey felt that Angelo had got the hang of this move, he taught her other moves. Time passed soon, and then it was time for the gym to close.

"All right. Let's continue tomorrow."

Angelo was relieved to hear that. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and went to the rest area.

"Where is Drake?"

Angelo asked, looking around but didn't find Drake.

"He went to the company."

"Yeah."

Angelo was disappointed to hear the answer from Hale. She thought Drake would wait for her, but she had already left.

Thinking about that, she was a little angry and kicked at the bench as if it was Drake.

"Ah…"

She held her foot with agony.

She had a muscle strain after the practice. Now with the rebound from the bench, she felt like she was about to break her leg.

Hale hurriedly supported Angelo and rested for a while. They didn't go back until Angelo felt better.
