Chapter 460 Spar?-2
" Sir, I didn\'t know. It was normal practice, but he pushed himself a little-"
" A little!? Do you know what you have done!? Do you know how many investors pulled out because of that idiot!?"
" I am sorry, but we resolved the situation and even had a successful-"
" Do you think I care about that? We are losing money; they only became profitable this year; now, because of his injury, we have to cancel many of our plans!"
Manager Kim was finally having the \'talk\' with the company\'s CEO, yelling at him for causing the big mess. Although he was not directly responsible, he was there to oversee the group, which was also his fault.
Because Siwon didn\'t appear on the stage, many companies that previously had contracts with him didn\'t renew them. He had to miss out on a few advertisements due to his injury; he would need a few weeks to recoup from his swollen leg.
Although KR Junior was a top-tier idol group, many new groups started to pop out recently, so the competition was fierce. They were not a top idol group, but with their potential, it was not far-fetched that they could hit their heyday within the next five years; for a corporation, it meant added millions of dollars in investment.
Even though Samuel saved the day by helping them, it was only able to appease the fans. The corporation was another matter, especially in Korea, where they had to be in constant spotlight to be relevant. Their performance was exceptional, but most attention was directed toward the new rookie who broke the stage with his overwhelming talent.
If everyone talked about him, how would they notice other group members? For the corporation, he didn\'t even exist a few days ago, and now he was heralded as the genius new member of the group?
" Haah, Forget it. Who is he? Bring him over to Seoul, and we can still salvage the situation by giving him a favorable contract. He already got a talent for it, so there is no reason to hide it." The CEO rubbed his temple thinking about expenses for the new contract.
" We can\'t, sir. We don\'t know who he is; didn\'t I mention it before-"
" Fuck! What the hell are you saying? How can you be so careless not able to find him? And how can you let a nobody appear on the stage with our group!? Have you gone insane!?" Another flurry of questions hit Manager Kim\'s eardrum harshly.
It was not that he didn\'t know; he didn\'t want to involve Samuel further in their trouble. It was the least he could do with how much he had helped the group. He thought it would blow over soon, but he heard something unexpected.
" I am sorry-"
" No need, when you come back, hand over your resignation. I don\'t have time to deal with ungrateful bastards like you." Hearing him, Kim gripped his phone tightly.
He knew his boss was heartless, but it was an uncalled-for comment with how much he had given to the company. For Twelve years, he worked like a slave nurturing two top tear idol groups, but now they were throwing him away like garbage.
" I understand."
" This rude bastard-" Kim hung up the phone without even listening; he didn\'t feel there was a need to listen to his nagging anymore. The CEO, who met with an unexpected situation, didn\'t want to fire him. He only wanted him to teach him a lesson and for him to beg for forgiveness, but he never expected him to comply abruptly.
" Humph! Don\'t come begging me once you are back!" He exclaimed, putting down the phone. Manager Kim was a great employee, but someone had to take the fall; there was no way in hell the CEO wanted to be that guy, so he pushed it onto him. Now, he only needed to make up some excuse to his superior, which was not hard to do when one was in his position.
" My wife will nag me, but what should I tell those kids?" Manager Kim thought as he started thinking about his future. He had enough money to support his family for a few years but had to look for a suitable job.
But the problem was him being fired from SK Entertainment, the most extensive media empire in the country. With the CEO\'s personality, he was sure the company would blacklist him from the industry. He would have no choice but to change his career or look for a company that didn\'t care about SK Entertainment.
" Fuck it! I will think about it after returning." He thought as he left his room. For now, his top priority was to get everyone home safely!

Kayla was on full offensive, attacking with her legs and heavy boots. Every impact created a loud sound when Samuel blocked her attacks.
Savate\'s attack pattern could be categorized into two: hand techniques, which were similar to boxing, like Jab, Cross, Hook, and Uppercut, and leg attacks, like Fourtee, a quick whipped kick, Front kick, reverse hook kick, etc.
They had many variants, but these were the basic, and how well one utilized these few attacks judged their understanding of the martial arts.
" Hahaha, you really can take a beating. How long have I dreamed of knocking that smug smile off your face!? Finally, I get a chance to take my revenge!" She said as she tried a sweep to get him off balance, but he dodged.
" I am glad you are enjoying this, but can you go a little easier with leg blows? I feel like my arms are going to fall off!" It was true; his arms had already started to turn red because of her heavy leg kicks.
" No need to whine now, but what\'s that stance? I can\'t figure out what style you are using." She tried to find out what he learned for the first few blows, but even after exchanging fifty moves, she couldn\'t figure it out.
She was not that knowledgeable, but that didn\'t mean she was a complete novice in martial knowledge. She could at least identify major martial arts after sparring with an opponent or observing them closely, but Samuel\'s style was very peculiar.
As she suspected, Samuel was not adhering to any specific style. His stance was unorthodox for him, who had been trained in several. He was now mixing boxing and Taekwondo with some Muay Thai attached.
With both arms raised, his legs constantly shifted, pointing straight at his opponent. It might affect his attack power, but for now, he was only interested in blocking, trying to absorb all of Kayla\'s movements.
" Are you curious? I created it myself after mixing several of them. I call it the great Kayla killer! " he said with a smile, which only infuriated Kayla even more.
Previously, she was not going all out, fearing that she would hurt him or break his bone, but now that she had gauzed his durability, she was sure at least he would not die under her full frontal attack!
" That\'s it! I am going to knock you down today!" She suddenly reduced the distance between them and came with a strong jab, but Samuel lifted his palm to block her move. It would have been impossible as she was sure she would tear through it and make him hit the back of his hand to his nose, but somehow he stopped her momentum.
" Your ribs are open!" She tried to front-kick his exposed ribs, but he twisted his torso and avoided it. These seemingly bizarre moves were effective against her attacks? How was that possible? His reaction time was simply insane!
" How about this then?" She backed off and came with a reverse kick; just as Samuel was about to block it, she stopped and went could only counter her without breaking a sweat.
further toward his face with full force. She was sure her feint was successful, but again, he ducked a few milliseconds before her leg made an impact and quietly stepped back in the same unusual stance.
" How is that possible? I was sure I would land a hit this time! Are you doing some tricks that I don\'t know about?" She was perplexed. Even though she did a perfect feint, Samuel was unfazed by it and could only counter her without breaking a sweat.
" Heeh, are you giving up? If you admit defeat, I can tell you about it." Samuel chuckled. It\'s not like he was going all out or using his powers; it was just the battle experience he had gone through.
To be fair to her, he refused to use any of his powers, but even then, she could not overpower him, which showed how far he had come in his fighting prowess. His body condition peaked every day, and since he was a growing teenager, no one knew how much he would grow.
" Argh! You asked for it! Here I come!" She was much more severe and decided to go fully nuclear without caring about the safety of her spar partner. After all, her pride was at stake!
