"Trash?" After hearing those words, Charlie's face lit up with a playful smile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt seems like this Mr. Yamamoto was too arrogant. He might have overestimated his own strength. A trashy external disciple like him, even with top-notch physical training, would not be able to defeat Charlie.
It was alright to dislike Charlie due to difference in opinion but to expect that he didn't even have any sportsmanship was actually quite bewildering, i To rub salt into the wound, he had even brought up the fact that Oskian people were prone to weakness. That had really gotten Charlie's blood boiling.
Therefore, Charlie smiled and replied. "Since you're willing to bet, Mr. Yamamoto, then why don't we raise the stakes?" Mr. Yamamoto snorted, "Sure! No matter the bet, I'll play along till the end." To Mr. Yamamoto, no matter how strong Charlie may look, he had no chance of defeating him in combat with a single punch.
Therefore, he was willing to place the bet, as no matter how severe, he was assured to win.

Since you've mentioned that Oskian people are weak and I personally hate those words, why don't we do this then? The winner will carve the words 'sick man o f Asia' on the loser's head. How about that?" 6 Mr. Yamamoto replied with a mocking laugh, "I didn't want to go that far, little brat, but it seems tothat you want to dig your own grave." Charlie replied with a smile. "It's not the matter of digging my own grave. It's more so that if I have the guts to say it, then I have the will to do it. It's whether you will agree to the terms or not?!" Mr. Yamamoto didn't expect those words from Charlie. He answered fairly immediately, "I'm not afraid of anything! There are so many witnesses here today. Whoever backs away from this bet will be the true 'sick man of Asia'. Catthen!" Nanako quickly rushed forward and tried to dissolve the issue. "Please, the two of you... Let's not get upset over something so minute." 6 After saying that, she looked to Charlie and with a serious tone said, "Mister, my master has a bad temper. I would like to apologize on his behalf. He shouldn't have said those words to hurt your feelings. I hope you can find it in you to not take it to heart." Mr. Yamamoto snapped. "Nanako! You maybe the eldest daughter of the Nanako family but my problems are my own to solve. You need not intervene!" 10 Nanako was taken aback by her master's demand. She immediately bowed and apologized. "I'm so sorry, Master!" 6 Mr. Yamamoto didn't even acknowledge her, his eyes were focused on Charlie. With a watered-down tone, h e voiced up. "From now on, we shall lay out the rules to determine the winner." 3 Charlie nodded in agreement. "Very simple-I will punch you once. If you're still standing, then we can both agree that I've lost, alright?" Mr. Yamamoto thought to himself, 'There are just too many loopholes in that rule.' 5 'First off, if his fist were to break one of his legs, he can still stand with the other leg.' 4
'Another is, if he were to break both his legs, he can still use both his hands to grab hold of anything around him to support himself upright too.' "Therefore, no matter how he's planning to punch, I'm sure to win!" 11
With a prideful tone, Mr. Yamamoto replied, "If that's the case, then we the case.
shall follow the rules that you've just set. Cat me!"
Charlie smirked. He did not need any form of preparation. All he needed to do was to throw a gentle punch'at Mr. Kamamoto. In the eyes of laymen, the fist looked so gentle, as if he was just fooling around with his good pal Mr. Yamamoto. X
