Taking a towel, Alexander walked over and wiped her sweat off.
"Take a break and have some tea."
"Okay."

after taking a few sips of tea.

guessed there could only be one such place.
"Go to the Russell family’s old house with you?"
"You knew?"
Surprised, he felt more relaxed now that she had said it aloud.
"Yes, it won’t take too long, but we must go." Lily thought for a moment.

"Yes, my woman is the greatest fighter!" She blushed when Alexander called her his woman.
"I’m sweating all over.Let me take a shower."
Alexander let go of her hand and gazed after her as she returned to the house.There were traces of
worry in his eyes.
Although Alexander had never seen her fight, he could guess she could fight well.

in with outsiders for many years.
No one knew how good they were compared to those with basic kickboxing training.
