Gussie didn't know why she wanted to be a tough warrior instead of a delicate and gentle girl. But there was a fire
and a burst of anger in her heart, and this feeling was constantly urging her to make progress.
Nathan also enjoyed the process of training her very much. Watching her become stronger under his guidance
made him feel gratified.
Gussie wanted to practice a few more rounds until she received a call.
"Let's call it a day. I have an important meeting to attend tomorrow, and I guess I can't show up with bruises all
over my face."
Everyone in the company wouldn't be surprised when Gussie showed up with bruises, but the outsiders probably
wouldn't feel the same.
"What meeting?" Nathan asked casually.
"Drug Bidding Conference." Gussie said, "A new type of Cerebral Neurotrophic Solution. The price is pretty high, but
the profit is quite tempting."
Nathan asked, "Which company developed it?"
Gussie said, "Northern Biotech. It seems to be a semi-state-owned enterprise, and the president is Jarrod Larrson."
Then, Gussie introduced this newly developed drug to Nathan in detail.
During the development period of this drug, it had already attracted much attention and had been widely
publicized. Now that it had been successfully developed, hospitals in all major provinces had begun to put it in use.
"Wonder Pharm will definitely come to bid. They are in the limelight, and we need to be prepared." Gussie said
worriedly.

Gussie nodded and stood up. But now, her body had cooled down, and her bruises made her feel extremely painful.
Nathan saw her baring her teeth, so he decided to show mercy and heal her wounds.
"Come on. I know every part of your body. Don't be shy." Nathan urged Gussie to take off her clothes impatiently.
"What the hell!" Gussie couldn't help being angry and then took off her shirt.
There was a large bruise on her back and another on her belly.
Nathan put the medicine on his hand and rubbed her back hard. Then, he used the gold needles to puncture her
acupoints and also used Hidden Force to disperse the blood stasis.
"Your skin is so nice..." Nathan pulled out the gold needles and touched her back.
Gussie was shocked. She immediately turned around and punched Nathan's nose bridge.
Nathan grabbed her wrist. "Wow! You actually fought back!"
Gussie's face went red. "It... It's just a subconscious reaction. I didn't mean it. Don't take revenge on me..."
Nathan nodded slightly and said, "Not bad. That's more like it. This kind of reaction is perfect. It is called responding
to stimulation. Once stimulated, you will immediately react and make a counterattack... However, you still need
more practice. You can't control your reaction, and you can't feel whether the stimulation is kind or evil... Keep
going!"
Hearing what Nathan had said, Gussie couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. Feeling her progress day by day was
very joyful.
Nathan asked Gussie to turn around, which made Gussie even more embarrassed. She felt very stressed when
facing this pervert while wearing only underwear and bras.
"The belly is one of the softest spots of the human body. If someone hits you in your stomach, you must think of the
Roaring Fists I mentioned. It can help you enhance the strength of your belly and resist the other's attack" Nathan
pointed to her belly, where he could see her abs vaguely.
Gussie's face was as red as a lobster. "When you point to my belly, can you not look at my boobs?"
Nathan said carelessly, "Men are always like this. Besides, you know how big they are. It's hard to ignore them..."
Gussie said unhappily, "How could you even say such a thing?"
Nathan smiled and quickly helped her deal with her injury before letting her put on her clothes.
He still wanted to look at Gussie's breast, but his mind was restless. He worried something might happen if he kept
watching. If Gussie asked him to stop again, he would feel devastated.
"Hey, are you free tonight? Shall we have dinner together?" Gussie suddenly invited Nathan to dinner.
"You're rarely so sincere. I guess I have to say yes." Nathan happily agreed.
Gussie said, "You don't think I'm ugly with so many scars?"
Nathan said, "They indeed affect your beauty."
Gussie's face turned pale.
Nathan continued, "But I don't mind. I like you very much."
Gussie instantly felt delighted again.
She pursed her lips and said, "But I don't like you at all. I even hate you!"
Nathan smiled and didn't respond.

Then, he said, "It's time for you to get rid of the bad memories of your past. Next time we go to the hot spring
together, you must not run away. So what if someone speaks ill of you? Why should you care? It's ridiculous to feel
inferior because of such a thing."
Gussie said, "You know it's a horrible childhood memory. How can I face it easily and let others see it?"
Nathan touched her head, then suddenly dragged her into his arms and let her lean against his chest.
Gussie could hear his heartbeat. It was powerful and loud as a drum, not even weaker than that tiger.
"Did you hear that?" Nathan asked.
"The Roaring?" Gussie asked thoughtfully.
Nathan was speechless and said displeasedly, "I'm asking if you've heard my heart saying that it loves you, not
some bullshit Roaring!"
"Oh..." Gussie's face flushed.
"Silly girl... You don't even know how to flirt." Nathan sneered.
He felt pleased that he could accuse someone else of being silly, which was rare.
Nathan's words made Gussie furious. She was actually scolded by such a stubborn pervert.
However, Gussie was tempted by Nathan's first sentence, which made her dizzy like a fine wine. She couldn't help
but hug Nathan's waist.
Then, she whispered, "I heard it. Your heartbeat is very powerful."
A shy smile appeared on Nathan's face, and he said, "Then... Can I listen to your heartbeat as well?"
Gussie was taken aback for a moment. Then, she came back to her senses and stepped hard on the ground. The
strength poured into her legs, her waist, and her hands. Then, she straightened her spine and leaned backward like
a hippo showing its tusk, and she grabbed Nathan's waist hard.
"Go to hell!" Gussie roared furiously and threw Nathan over her head.
"You... F*cking rebel..." Nathan blurted out in a daze when the back of his neck hit the ground with a bang.
