My skills are no match for this young boy's! I surrender. Please ask him to stop!" He couldn't believe it. He was once a top-notch operative who could take down opponents now he had been bested by a child.
with ease.
but Seven times in a row! What was even more humiliating was that Apollo saw Arthur crying out and thought he wasn't giving up. like the Tibetan Mastiff. He stretched out his hand, about to grab Arthur's crotch. "Ah-woo!" Luckily, Milly intervened in tto stop him.
As she pulled Apollo back up, she apologised to Arthur, saying, “Sorry, Mr. Arthur. Apollo is still young and doesn't understand manners. Please forgive him." Arthur got up slowly, waving his hand in defeat. "No, it's fine. His skills are truly impressive. I'm just too old." Actually, he was only twenty-nine this year. But if he didn't say that, it would be even more embarrassing! Milly smiled awkwardly but couldn't find the words to comfort him. After all, she had seen how Apollo had broken the iron cage and effortlessly removed a car door Hence, it wasn't that embarrassing to lose to him.
Unaware of the awkward atmosphere, Apollo looked at Milly with a pleading expression while pointing at Arthur, his eyes shining with hope. "Ah-woo, ah-woo!" Milly, you haven't praisedthis round! Milly was speechless.
This isn't the best tto shower him with praises.

His group of friends had grandchildren in the army, and shad even risen to becsquad leaders at a young age. They often showed off to Philip, making him jealous.
Although the Burnetts produced many capable and accomplished young men, none of them could win a battle or hold their ground in a fight. He had always been troubled by that.
But now, there was this young boy who was unexpectedly talented... Even though they were not blood-related, he would be part of the family after being registered under the Burnetts. This kid was so young and already so skilled. If he developed him further, the possibilities were endless! He'll make the family proud! He can wipe out all those old men's grandsons! So what if they're squad leaders, special 08:40 Tue, 2 Chapter 186 Seven Times in a Row He can defeat them with a single blow! Haha! The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but imagine hanging Apollo on his belt and taking him out to show off.
Milly heard Philip's words and relaxed slightly, thinking that it meant Apollo would be allowed to join their family.
But...
She still wasn't convinced and kept quiet for a moment before speaking, “Grandpa... Apollo is different from ordinary peop He- But George cut her off mid-sentence, shaking his head slightly towards her as if to warn her from saying too much.
Milly looked at him with a puzzled expression, unsure of what he meant.
George didn't rush to explain it. Instead, he took over the conversation and said, "He can't speak. Milly's just worried that you wouldn't accept him." Philip tapped his cane and snorted, 'Hmph, I've lived a long life, and I'm not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong. If the kid can't speak, we can get him a sign language teacher to teach him. The Burnetts don't lack money for that." George quickly followed up with, "Of course, Old Mr. Burnett. That's very wise." Philip nodded his head and looked at the young boy sitting beside Milly, his eyes growing more fond and enthusiastic with each passing moment.
He couldn't help but wave his hand towards Apollo, saying, "Your name's Apollo, right? Chere." Apollo didn't seem to hear him and remained by Milly's side, his bright eyes fixed on her as he cooed, “Ah- woo, ah-woo...
Philip saw that he was ignoring him, and his face grew red with embarrassment. No one in the Burnetts would dare ignore their elder's words like that. He raised his voice again. “Apollo, chere!" This time, Philip's loud voice caught Apollo's attention, but the look in his eyes was one of annoyance, as if to say, This old man is so annoying! After glaring at Philip, Apollo turned around and gazed at Milly with a soft and endearing expression, cooing again, "Ah-woo....
Philip was stunned.
Milly knew Apollo relied on her, so she wasn't too surprised by thism reaction. Instead, she couldn't help but find it amusing to see Philip getting flustered. She didn't expect the old man who was once so intimidating to be outdone by a child over ten years old. Is this what they call a reversal of fortunes? 08:40 Tue, 2 Jul M.

Although it was funny, it shouldn't beca joke. After all, Philip's face was already turning red.
Milly checked herself and suppressed her amusement, then she lightly m patted Apollo's head and whispered. softly. "Apollo, you shouldn't be rude.
Grandpa just called you. Go apologise to him now."
Then she leaned in close to him and whispered again, "Be good and don't make Grandpa angry. Our lives are in his hands. He's a big shot in the Burnetts," "Ah-woo?" Apollo cocked his head to one side, looking inquiringly. Big shot? "Yes, if you make him happy, we can both stand our ground at the Burnetts. Got it?" Milly tried to explain in simple terms.
But Apollo's big eyes still looked puzzled.
Apollo didn't understand, but he could sense her emotions. She wanted him to be kind to the old man.
Hmm... that's not too hard.
As long as it makes Milly happy, I'll treat th
