Flossie Wright frowned, her eyes slightly dimmed, remaining silent.
"Speak up!"
The force on her chin increased, and Perry Reed growled lowly, his anger unabated.
Flossie Wright clenched her teeth.
Annoyed, she cursed and with a fierce glint in her eye, Flossie formed a fist with her right hand, raised her elbow, and aimed a blow downward at Perry Reed’s chin!
The move was crisp!
Seeing her fierce attack, Perry Reed, even more infuriated, cursed softly and let go of her chin, raising his elbow to block.
Quickly, Flossie’s other hand clenched into a fist and swung towards his eye. Perry Reed arched an eyebrow, blocking her elbow, then reached to grasp her wrist.

The grip on her wrist was as tight as a vise, forcefully immobilizing her hand in mid-air.
These few moves unfolded in the blink of an eye. Perry Reed was particularly annoyed by her provocation. Yet it was only when he restrained her wrist that he suddenly realized Flossie Wright’s capabilities were no longer what they once were.
So weak that he could handle her with just one hand.
And sure enough—
Perry Reed looked down and saw Flossie Wright in his arms, her expression tense, her eyes suppressed with anger and frustration, and even a hint of powerlessness in their depths.
Her tone was cold and icy, without anger or accusation, yet as she spoke, the temperature in the Private Room seemed to freeze.
Seeing her stubborn stance, Perry Reed’s heart suddenly softened.
Oddly, he thought of Erina Taylor. It was said she had practiced martial arts from a young age and possessed exceptional skills. These weren’t things that could be achieved in one or two years. Nor were they skills acquired through rough experiences alone. She was the inheritor of ancient martial arts, with a foundation that others could hardly match.
Without practicing for over a decade, she couldn’t have reached her level.
And now, she had lost that martial prowess.
Only the structure remained, with deep-rooted techniques, but when she struck, there wasn’t enough force, and her movements weren’t quick enough.
Otherwise, those sudden moves just now, Perry Reed would have had no chance to defend.
Falling from such heights to her current abilities, even someone as carefree as her would likely find it hard to accept.
"Erina Taylor," he called her softly, releasing her, yet held her tightly, Perry Reed’s chin resting on her shoulder, his voice gentle and forgiving, "I was wrong."
The corners of Flossie’s mouth twitched fiercely, and she bit down on her teeth, feeling incredibly wronged.
During fights, when facing ordinary people, she was fine, able to cope. But against the likes of Perry Reed or Glenn Hutchinson, she would have had no problem dealing with them before...
She could only exchange a few moves with them if either she performed exceptionally well or if they deliberately let her!
It certainly felt unfair.
"Enough," Flossie Wright frowned tightly, suppressing the irritation in her heart, "I’m just less skilled."
"No," Perry Reed objected, his normally dangerous eyes now softened, and he whispered, "I shouldn’t have struck back."
"..." Flossie Wright fell silent, giving him a sidelong glance, "Are you done yet?"
Perry Reed looked at her, his lips curling up, "Calmed down?"
At these words, Flossie Wright subconsciously touched her chin, indeed, even a slight touch was painful, and who knew how red it had become.
In fact, she hadn’t been angry just now, just a bit annoyed. Mainly because Perry Reed had been too harsh. It seemed like an outburst was imminent, and if she had let him have his way, she likely wouldn’t have been able to stop it later.
Better to have a fight instead.
