Jaden stood in front of Sylvia who had already taken her fighting stance. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, before Sylvia suddenly made her move, intending to take the initiative of the fight.

Sylvia initiated the first move, a punch aimed at Jaden's midsection. Jaden effortlessly managed to sidestep, dodging the attack. The, he immediately countered with a spinning kick that Sylvia managed to block. Even though she had managed to block the attack, she was still forced to retreat a few steps backwards.

It was at this point that Sylvia finally understood the reason why Jaden looked so arrogant when he said that he could fight her even though he was tired. It seemed that this guy was really skilled, and was strong as well.

So, she had to be extremely serious in this fight filled otherwise, not only was she going to lose the battle between them, she was also going to lose the $10,000.

Having already made a decision in her mind in just a few seconds, she immediately launched yet another attack. This time, she jumped into the air, and threw a kick towards Jaden's chest.

Jaden's reaction was quite fast. He managed to move backwards slightly, before using his right hand to parry the kick towards the side. In the next moment, he launched a punch towards Sylvia.

Sylvia had already expected that Jaden was going to be able to dodge that attack, so, the moment that he parried her attack, she was already prepared to receive an attack from him.

So, in the face of the coming punch, she raised both her hands, blocking the punch. At the same time, she tried to stabilize herself from the attack that she had launched previously.

Due to the fact that she had not stabilized her footing quite well when she received Jaden's attack, she was once again forced to retreat, as she stumbled, while trying to stabilize herself again.

At this point, Sylvia's expression changed. She came to understand that Jaden's ability was way above what she had expected. She had not expected that Jaden was this strong. Still, she was not willing to give up.

No matter what, unless Jaden defeated her, she was not going to admit defeat even though she understood that she was not Jaden's match at this moment.

As the exchange between them continued, Sylvia's expressions shifted subtly. Sylvia, showed the hint of determination on her face, her features tightening with each strike.

Jaden had already realized that this lady was just like Scarlet, stubborn. And even though she had already realized that she was not capable of defeating him, she was still fighting. Jaden could not help but be amazed by her ability to continue fighting, despite knowing that she was at a disadvantage.

With this kind of confidence, if she possessed capabilities, she would be able to easily deal with those in the same level as herself. He could see the determination that she was having, and the confidence that she possessed to despite coming short in ability when it came to fighting with Jaden.

Feints and counterattacks continued between the two of them. Jaden continued testing Sylvia's limit, while making sure that he did not defeat her immediately. He wanted to use this chance so that he could at least enable Sylvia to improve.

This was his way of making sure that the $10,000 that he was going to receive would not be one-sided. At least at the end of it all, Sylvia would gain something in return for the $10,000.

Sylvia's lips pressed into a thin line as Jaden countered with a series of sweeps and grapples, forcing her to change her strategy on the fly. At some point in time, she had already realized that Jaden was not using his full strength, and instead, he was holding back.

She was initially supposed to feel humiliation or a form of embarrassment, considering that he was fighting against a person who was not using his full strength.

But she was thinking differently. Since Jaden was holding back, she could immediately tell through his intentions after thinking slightly about it.

Understanding that Jaden was giving her a chance of learning more during the exchange between the two of them, Sylvia decided to take this chance. She had been training alone for quite a while now, and even if she fought against Scarlet, she would not gain that much.

At the end of the day, the difference between her and Scarlet was quite big, and it was impossible for Scarlet to be able to match her. So, in the end, she was the one that was always dominating the fight between the two of them.

Now that she had been given a chance of gaining something in the fight between them, she was going to take it. Additionally, she thought that spending $10,000 was nothing as compared to gaining something from the fight between the two of them.

Additionally, she believed that Jaden would agree to continue sparring with her. In the next few days or even months, she would be able to improve. And if possible, she was willing to have Jaden train her. Nevertheless, that was something that they would talk about later.

Despite the intensity of their exchange, moments of admiration shone through. Jaden couldn't help but admire Sylvia's movements, indicating how much effort she had put in her training over the years.

As the fight progressed for more than 30 minutes, the expressions of the two of them softened slightly.

In the final moments of the battle, Jaden and Sylvia locked eyes, their expressions showed determination. With a final burst of energy, they threw themselves into one last round of strikes, their movements rapid, and with the intention of taking the other down.

And then, as quickly as it began, it was over. Jaden and Sylvia stood facing each other, their expressions different from the other. While Jaden looked completely relaxed, Sylvia was breathing heavily.

Other than that, she looked quite satisfied. During the fight between them, she had gained quite a lot. And for that reason, she did not feel any pain in losing the $10,000.

Even though she had not been taken down, just by looking at her reaction, her breathing, the sweat that was already dripping from her face, and the clothes that were soaked, it was clear that she had lost. After all, the comparison between her and Jaden was quite huge.

Jaden's breathing was just a little hurried, completely different from Sylvia's. In just a matter of about a minute, he would be able to breathe normally again.

"I will transfer the money to you later on. Scarlet will give me your account. I hope there's no problem with that." Sylvia stated, as she tried to calm down.

"There's no problem with that." Jaden responded. Currently, he was happy that he had already made$10,000 just like that. If he got even more chances, he would definitely not let them go.

"Hey cousin, what do you think? He is quite good, right?" Scarlet asked with a big smile on her face. She was extremely happy that Sylvia had lost the battle this time.

This was going to be the first time that she had ever seen Sylvia losing a battle. So, thinking much about the times that she had been defeated by Sylvia, she could not help but be relieved after Sylvia was defeated.

Even though she had not been beaten up, the way that she usually beat Scarlet up, still, it was enough that she had been defeated. This was something that she was going to use to boast in front of her for the next few days.

"It was quite good. He's good." Sylvia responded. Immediately after that, she excused herself, with the intention of going to take a rest.

Scarlet wanted Sylvia to continue staying around so that she could boast to her, but in the end, she had no choice but to allow Sylvia to leave.

"What do you think about that? Should I arrange for a few more for you? I can make arrangements for you to fight for money. Of course, this is something that you have to keep as a secret from my dad. Otherwise, he is going to cause trouble." Scarlet asked with a big smile on her face.

Her nose was already facing the sky, as she was proud of what she had done. She was already boasting of possessing the capability of looking for a few clients for him, so that they could get easy money again.

Of course, by offering this, she was simply looking for a way to make Jaden be dedicated in training her. She did not want him to give up along the way.

Jaden could only shake his head at that. But when he thought about what Scarlet had said, if there was actually an opportunity, he would definitely take it. So, he responded, "If there is an opportunity for something like that, as long as it is not illegal, I can agree to it."

Scarlet's expression changed upon hearing Jaden's words. With anger clear on her face, she asked, "What the heck do you think I can get involved with? Do you think that I will get involved with something that is considered as illegal?"

Jaden could only raise his hands in submission. He was not ready to argue with this lady. So, he only give in and say, "That's not what I mean. I just said that as long as it is something that is acceptable, I will do it. But of course, if it is something that I cannot agree with, it is going to be impossible for me to follow along."

"Humph!" Scarlet snorted. Then, as she left, she said, "Come looking for me tomorrow after the meeting." And after seeing those words, she disappeared outside the door.
