If they had a proper, serious fight, Josiah could stand lus ground for a short while.

However, had the battle dragged on, no matter how amazing Josiah’s strength was, he’d lose against the big
guy
At that moment, Hayden immediately discerned Josiah’s inability to engage in a prolonged battle and demanded, “Referee, I request a redo. It’s clear my side wasn’t ready during that last round.”
He’s shameless! Madelyn sneered. What a disgusting man. Still, it doesn’t matter. Since he’s dissatisfied, he can have his second round to avoid everyone thinking Josiah’s victory was a fluke.
*All right, let’s have another round,” Madelyn agreed readily. Then, she turned to Josiah with a look of trust, to which Josiah responded with a knowing nod.
Following that, the second round commenced.
Everyone was incredibly focused on watching the duel
After losing the first round, the big guy clearly became more cautious during the second round. He finally stopped underestimating his opponent and was ready to engage in a serious fight.
Suddenly, he hurled several speedy and powerful punches at Josiah.
Fortunately, Josiah reacted in time and quickly dodged.
The burly figure didn’t stop. On the contrary, he launched wave after wave of attacks, but they all missed due to Josiah’s evasive maneuvers.
For a moment, Josiah seemed to be at a disadvantage, but the burly man couldn’t manage to knock him down either.
Upon witnessing that scene, Mary and Benedict were flabbergasted. Since then did our son become so formidable?
Felix became even more intrigued, while Josiah’s brothers were thoroughly pleased with his result.
Five minutes later, as expected, Josiah lost, but it wasn’t an embarrassment to him.
After all, he lost not because he was outmatched in skill but simply because his physical strength couldn’t match his bigger opponent’s
“He doesn’t seem that bad, right?”

“Didn’t they say the son of the an unlearned and incompetent good–for–nothing? That doesn’t seem like him.”
“I thought he was pretty okay. Why did the rumors paint him in such a bad light?”
Guests who had initially looked down on Josiah began to whisper among themselves, their views of him starting to shift.
Hayden’s expression turned grim. I didn’t expect him to have improved so much.

Madelyn, however, felt that was far from enough. This merely the tip of Josiah’s capabilities. These people were calling him a good–for–nothing, and I think they should be proven thoroughly wrong
“Mr. Hayden, are you satisfied with Josiah’s performance? Madelyn suddenly said.
“Hmph, it’s just a fluke, Hayden said coldly, unwilling to admit the truth.
“Really?” Madelyn smiled nonchalantly. “In that case, why don’t we have another round? This time, you’ll face Josiah directly. How about it?”
“Ms Thornton, are you joking with me?” Hayden scoffell.
“Are you scared?” Madelyn taunted with a chuckle.
“Of course not!” Hayden was instantly infuriated. “What do you want us to compete in?”
Hayden knew he was immensely capable and that his abilities were only second to Mason’s within the Blume family.
However, Mason had been virtually incapacitated since his injury. Therefore, Hayden’s abilities were acknowledged as the best among the younger generation in the Blume family.
How dare Josiah think he can win against me! It’s unrealistic ven for a dream! He’s not worthy, but since he’s so eager to humiliate himself. I’ll have him acknowledge his worthlessness! Hayden thought haughtily.
At that moment, Madelyn said with a smile, “Any military officer must be proficient with shooting, right? So how about competing with that?”
That was Josiah’s forte, and since Hayden insisted on looking down on Josiah, Madelyn thought a shooting match would be perfect.
Hayden suddenly laughed. “Ms. Thornton, are you sure you want to go with that?”
Hayden’s henchmen laughed and mocked, “Everyone knows Lieutenant Hayden is the best at shooting! He always comes first during the army’s annual shooting competition!”
Madelyn, however, didn’t seem to care at all. She smiled back and said, “A shooting match is what I want. What’s the matter, Mr. Hayden? Are you scared to accept?”
“Me, scared? What a joke!” Hayden couldn’t stand being provoked and responded confidently. “If you’re so keen on having Josiah embarrass himself and yourself, then let’s head to the shooting range.
“No problem.” Madelyn flashed a radiant smile.
As a military family, the Blume family naturally owneda private outdoor shooting range. At that moment, all the floodlights at the range were switched on, illumbating the vast area.
Madelyn and Josiah led the way, followed by Hayden and Felix. The other family members and guests also gathered there.
Every guest standing at the back craned their necks, vying to catch a glimpse of the scene unfolding.
Next, the referee explained the rules. “Gentlemen, you will both take turns shooting at a target ten meters away. The one who lands a shot closest to the bullseye wins. The competition consists of three rounds, and the winner of two rounds will emerge victorious.”

After listening to the rules, Hayden nodded with confidence. “I’m ready. Let’s do this.”
At that point, Madelyn also urged. “Josiah, give it your l! Do you hear me?”

Josiah was speechless for a moment before grumbling. The lighting is terrible at this late hour, Why on earth did you ask for a shooting match?”
Because this is your forte! Madelyn was practically roaring in her heart and spoke with a hint of annoyance, “Stop yapping and focus! Weren’t you embarrassed by that loss earlier? Don’t you want to win?”
Her tone was fierce, prompting Josial to respond like famed cat. “All right, I understand.” It’s time to be
Upon witnessing that scene, his immediate family members were astounded.
Ever since Josiah learned to disobey his family, he grew rebellious, becoming uncontrolled by anyone. Yet, Madelyn managed to tighten his leash. Hence, his family was shocked.
At that moment, Josiah looked at Hayden with a cold gaze. When he thought about how his family and Madelyn were humiliated because of him, he scowled, and the look in his eyes grew sharper. I was too nice to Hayden in the past. This time, I swear I’ll best him!
Following that, the match commenced.
Hayden and Josiah received an air gun each, and then they began to shoot.
In the first round, both of them were still adjusting to the dim lighting of the night. Josiah narrowly missed the bullseye, as did Hayden. They were evenly matched.
