Zhang Wei looked around and saw that everyone was videoing him, he was very embarrassed but he couldn't do anything about it since he was the one who brought the idea of kowtowing, he turned his face from the camera to avoid his face being captured even though he knew it was a useless attempt, "you are not planning to go back on your word, are you?" Jia yu said to incite the spectators who had already begun murmuring on what Zhang Wei would choose to do, Zhang Wei realized that he had no choice but to kowtow, he bowed his head until it hit the ground ten times and apologized each time he kowtowed.
He was about to leave after he kowtowed but she pulled him back and slapped him, he held his face in shock while the audience gasped, the slap was so loud that they could all feel the impact of the slap on his right cheek, "how dare you to slap me, you are going too far, do you think I won't slap you back because you are a girl" He said with his index finger pointed at her, "have you forgotten the last condition, that slap is for myself" she said and slapped him on the left cheek, "this slap is for him, now you can leave if you don't have anything to say".
She turned to leave the fighting ground and Han chen followed behind her, as she left the fighting ground Zhang Wei rushed up to her and puled her wrist, he raised his hands and folded his palm into a fist in an attempt to hit her, he tried to move his hand but he couldn't then he realised that Han chen had already held his hand before he could land a blow on Yu yan's face, "let me go" he shouted, he tried to free his hand from Han chen hold but he couldn't, he clenched his jaws and his face burned with anger as he was frustrated with his helplessness. His heart began beating faster and his eyes with cold with contempt as Han chen held his hand, he hated the feeling of weakness Yu yan and Han chen made him feel, he felt like his heart was going to burst if he doesn't pour out his anger on her, he decided to forsake his career his exchange for venting his anger. They spectators watched as he struggled to free himself from Han chen, they were shocked at how violent he had become and they all turned against him, "you really cant judge a person's character by his appearance, how can he raise his hands at a lady" a lady in her twenties said to her friend, "right and the guy holding his hand is so cool and handsome".

"you have lost and you are not willing to bear the consequence, you were confident before the fight started and now you are acting like a cornered cat" Han said, he scoffed as he let go of his hand, Zhang Wei felt like he could no longer lift his hand, the strength Han chen used in holding his hand has made his hand weak and numb. Han chen held yu yan hand and they both walked away from where Zhang wei and the other spectators were. He dropped her hands when they reached a corner where no one was, they both sat on the bench as they watched Zhang wei being crowded and photographed as he stood helplessly, he was so embarrassed that he rushed out of the karate club in his uniform without changing, everyone who had videoed the whole scene began posting the videos as they left the gym.
They came to where Yu yan and Han chen sat and took their seat on an opposite bench beside them, Ji chen handed Yu yan a bottle of water and a hand towel to wipe her sweat and said "wow, yu yan you were so cool back there", "yeah, this is what we call the return of the champion, it has been so long since we so you fight that war compete with anyone" Jia yu said.
"I used to admire and crush on him but now you have made me lose all my fantasies about him, but I must say you are the coolest person I have ever known" Meng yao said, "I think this is when we say someone has the face of a angel but the heart of a devil, I didn't believe that she was really going to slap him, she didn't seem like someone who was capable of doing that" Han chen added, they all laughed at his comment, he didn't know why they were laughing so he looked at them with a confused expression on his face, "why are you all laughing" he asked, "you just got it right, that is the famous quote everyone used on yu yan while we were still in university, though she looks gentle you wouldn't believe how many people she has beaten up both in competition and outside competitions while we were still in university" Jia yu said.
"you are all making me sound like a witch, I only beat them up for self-defence, you don't know how many animals like that tried to harass me back then if I don't defend myself then should I just leave them alone" Yu yan said as she dabbed her face with the hand towel, "that is the price you have to pay for being to beautiful and perfect or else it wouldn't be fair to the rest of us don't you guys think so" An ke said, they all nodded in agreement to what An ke said, "brother in law you were so cool back then, he looked like he was going to explode how did you manage to make him unable to move his hand, I definitely wouldn't have been able pull that off" Ji chen said

"hey, that is something easy for my brother to do, I didn't tell you before but my brother is a soldi….", Jia yu was about to complete her statement but was interrupted by Han chen who pretended to cough in order to stop her from telling them he is a soldier, "what she means to say is that I have always had a strong shoulder" Han chen said and looked at Jia yu, he lowered one of his eyebrow to remind her that she almost exposed his job to them.
"Yeah my brother had always had a strong shoulder" she said as she nodded her head awkwardly.
"now that your cousin is here why don't we go out for more fun we rarely ever have the chance to go out like this because of our job" An ke said, "my brother might not feel free to hang out with us" Jia yu said as she looked at Han chen to see his reaction.
"I don't think so, he has been flowing and relating with us well until now and he doesn't seem older than us so why cant he hang out with us" Yu yan said, "you are right I am just twenty eight, so don't treat me with too much respect" Han chen said with his right hand on his chest
"wow you are just one year older than us, then I guess we can speak to you comfortably then" Meng yao said, Han chen nodded positively in response to her question
"why don't we go to the karaoke, it has been long since we went there together and I miss it so much" Jia yu said
"I agree with you it has been long since we heard that voice of yours" Yu yan said, "what is wrong with my voice, you guys always complimented me back then" Jia yu said, they looked at each other, they were all unwilling to answer her question, Han chen saw the look on their face and realised what was happening, "don't tell me you guys have been lying to my sister that her voice is good" Han chen said
"we don't dare tell her the truth, if we did she would never stop singing until we tell her voice is nice and she will keep malice with all of us for more than a week" Ji chen said, Jia yu looked at him in shock as she placed her left hand on her chest " OMG, is this what you guys have been doing so you just wanted to shut me up" Jia yu said
They all looked away to avoid her gaze, then she said "well you guys did well, I will just forgive you but there is one killer singer among us" Jia yu said
"Who is it" yu yan asked
"my brother is one of the best singers I have ever seen he is also good at rapping and beatboxing" Jia yu said and turned to face Han chen, "then we would be looking forward to his performance" yu yan said, An ke looked at the time on her phone and gasped, "guys it is already seven pm, let change" she said.
They all stood up and went into the changing room, twenty minutes later, they all came out of the dressing room and left the Karate club. They all drove in the same car which is a Lexus jeep belonging to Ji chen except Jia yu, Yu yan and Han chen, they went with Jia yu's car.

8 67Echelon of The Owls
Parallel worlds or other worlds. The existence of infinite existence where it only exists in science fiction like in comics, books, or cartoons. We, humans, are so fond of that fiction idea, imagining a thousand worlds where we can have different appearances, lives, and selves. For example, a murderer who's been living in the underbelly of society in the dark might be the most successful businessman in an alternate timeline or reality. The infinite possibilities we could have, that's why the idea of parallel worlds revolves around "what if", " I should've...", etc. The wishful thinking that how we could have done it better or in a word, "regret". Other than that, it's still from fiction. The concept of it only exists in our imaginary minds. But, it all changed when 20 students from an ordinary high school were caught in a mysterious phenomenon. A surge of blue light crawled across the whole room, symbols, lines, and geometric patterns emerged slowly. The light slowly grew brighter and brighter, in a blink of an eye, all of them vanished. Till to this day, the mysterious phenomenon was left to be unknown, with the existence of those 20 students. Join the journey of Sirius Steorra and Alice Schwartz as they transverse to the other world and uncover the mysteries of its world. A world that’s shrouded by mysteries and history. This is their story... ----------------------------------------------------- This is also available in Webnovel and Scribblehub.
