Both started a fierce fight.

Harold had thought Alan would get beaten up easily and would be down in a maximum of five minutes but everyone in the gym held their breath looking at the amazing moves of two men.

​​

When their fight got intense even after ten minutes, all thought Alan was losing but he finished in style and flexed his neck and muscles.

Everyone in the gym was expecting Dan would get up but were shocked to see him fall back.

When all were looking at Alan in astonishment, he grunted, "Next."

Harold snorted another name who was stronger than the previous, "Kan."

The man named Kan was nearly double-sized to Alan. Kan had seen Alan's all the moves so everyone was cent percent sure Alan was at the losing end.

The duo soon started.

Alan was actually at the weaker end because he had used a lot of his energy on the first one. Alan couldn't get a hit on his face was his other drawback because he didn't want Aria to see and worry about him.

Hence Kan used it well and injured Alan but that doesn't mean Alan didn't attack, Kan was equally injured in the force.

To the one point, everyone thought Alan lost when he fell down but he stood back stronger and his attacks got fiercer which Kan couldn't hold and coughed blood a few times before accepting his defeat.

Alan spat mouthful blood. He rinsed his mouth and drank some water.

Everybody looked at Alan as if he was a man from another planet because he had just taken down two strong men in the troop back to back without resting.

Alan who stood back on the mat, mocked, "Do you have somebody who has a brain?"

Everyone gritted their teeth. Harold didn't send the third man and went aside to take his mobile to make a call, "Thirty minutes. My base. Right now."

His voice resonated in the whole gym making Alan understand thirty minutes to the next opponent.

It would be a lie if he says he was fine. He was feeling pain all over. He sat down where Harold prepared for him to rest.

Harold later called a number, "I want every detail of Alan Morgan by tomorrow." He hung after ordering.

Alan very well knew what and all would happen if he competes with Harold's men so he was very well prepared.

He didn't want to take a chance of hiring anybody for Aria to stay near. He wanted somebody loyal, harmless to Aria and he was ready to go to any extent for it. Harold would hundred percent save his face so he couldn't get a better choice.

After some time all were shocked to see Alan lively chatting on a phone call. Harold widely guessed it as Aria because that's the only time he had seen Alan's smile.

All heard a roar of a bike outside the gym within half an hour. The troop understood who came and saw a young man quickly striding towards Harold.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? The route from home to here is fifty minutes. You didn't even know what I was doing."

Harold gave him an indifferent face and replied, "Aren't you here in half an hour?"

Finn's lips twitched. He knew it was no use to argue with his grandfather. "What's up?"

Alan's face was dark, "Old master Stanley, are you sure about your choice? Why do you think I will let your grandson be around my girl?"

Finn furrowed his brows hearing Alan and looking at him. "What's going on here?"

Harold plainly explained what Alan asked and how Alan won against strong opposition. Finn heard everything and turned to Alan, "Why does president Cooper need such high security?"

Alan didn't reply other than giving him a blank face.

Harold had expected it so he spoke, "Finn, I want to stand by words to pay back, and other than you, I don't think anybody I knew could match up against President Morgan."

Finn didn't want to be anybody's bodyguard but more than that he didn't want his grandfather to lose his face.

Clenching his teeth he agreed, "President Morgan, don't you trust your girl or have higher faith in me?"

Alan smirked and went on the mat wrapping his hand with the hand wrap. Finn patted Harold's shoulder before going on the mat throwing his jackets away and wrapped his hand in no time.

Alan was brutal with his attacks so as Finn. For onlookers, they were looking like a cheetah ready to kill the other one.

There wasn't only physical strength, both were analyzing the opposition techniques and attacking their weakest area.

Alan who had fought twice had a lower end but he wasn't ready to lose. Finn was on his full energy so his attack remained strong and vicious.

After about twenty minutes, Harold stopped them seeing them continuously bruise each other without giving up. "That's enough."

Both spat blood aside breathing heavily.

"President Morgan, do you have a death wish?" Harold called his men to treat Finn and Alan's wounds.

Alan too didn't continue, "Are you sure about sending the only heir of Stanley far away for five years? His important period of life to protect somebody's wife."

Finn felt like Alan was pointing something to him but he couldn't point out.

Harold knew that. He hated the fact that his men failed to win on a businessman. His eyes brushed on his men before stopping at Finn to know what he would say.

Finn who faced the challenge wasn't ready to agree so easily, "University S... Get me a seat for studying in the same college. I will be going." With his average scores, he couldn't get a seat at that university.

Harold knew Finn wanted to enter the business world so he thought protecting Aria could also help in finishing his studies too.

Alan and Finn stared at each other before the latter saw a mocking smile, "Sure. Next weekend you will have all the information about everything."

Alan left aside to let them treat his wounds.

Finn made faces at his grandfather, "Why do you have a useless bunch under you? and this man... He is too mystical."

Harold nodded and both looked at Alan who wasn't flinching even little and sat ramrod and emotionless till he received a call.

Alan pursed his lips hearing Aria sing his name, "What happened now?"

"I can't believe Mum is giving me ideas to seduce you. She even collected short videos of many series to show how girls make moves. Did you know Mum was planning to tell me all these?"

"Well, I had guessed... I don't mind if you try on me tonight. Which one are you planning to choose?" He nonchalantly teased.
