Freya looked at the man's serious expression and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you'll fight seriously this time?"

Bradley nodded and said, "Yes, I will be serious."

Although Freya was half-believing and half-doubting, she still chose to trust him this time and resumed her attacking stance.

However, when she threw a punch at him, the man dodged to the side.

What the hell?

Was this a martial arts competition or a boxing match?

Freya knew that she had been teased by the man again. Angrily, she directly called for a stop. "Referee, I propose a mid-game break."

If they continued to play like this, they wouldn't be able to determine the winner even after fighting for days and nights.

Therefore, Freya decided to have a good talk with Bradley.

The referee stood on the stage observing the two of them. At first, everything was normal when they came on stage, but as they started fighting, the more he watched, the weirder it seemed.

Especially, their actions were completely unlike those in a boxing match. It was as if they were just having a little tiff like lovers.

The referee felt that the relationship between these two people was unusual, but he didn't dare to say much. He just said according to the rules, "If the other party agrees to the break, it's okay."

Bradley turned his head to look at the referee and said in a flat tone, "I agree."

He also wanted to find a quiet place without being disturbed to have a good talk with the little woman about the matter of Wuming.

Before, she had various identities that were well-known internationally. But now, she had actually been reduced to the point of boxing for someone else. This was something that Bradley found hard to accept for a while.

Just as Freya turned to leave the stage, the pleasant mint fragrance unique to Bradley suddenly surrounded her from behind.

The man's strong and muscular arm, under the gaze of thousands of fans, wrapped around Freya's shoulders like this. The gesture was as natural as if he had done it thousands of times, making the fans scream repeatedly.

Freya didn't expect Bradley to be so unconcerned. They were opponents at the moment, and such an intimate act, what would the fans think?

She was just about to move, but the man didn't give her a chance to struggle and led her off the boxing stage.

Behind them, a large group of reporters swarmed up frantically.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the relationship between the two of them was unusual. If they could get some inside information, they would definitely make a fortune.

...

In the lounge.

As soon as Bradley stepped into the room, he turned around and closed the door forcefully. Then, he propped his hand against the wall and looked down at the little woman in his arms.

Freya's breath caught in her throat.

Bradley had already taken off the mask on his face, revealing his handsome and extraordinary features. He was extremely domineering, dignified, and cold, and a dangerous aura filled the entire room.

His dark and profound eyes deeply enveloped her, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Be honest. Why are you boxing for Chu Tian'er?"

"I..."

Just as Freya was about to say something, the man's slender and rough fingers gently caressed her face and finally stayed beside her ear. He tore off the human skin mask on her face.

In an instant, Freya's unique delicate and beautiful features were revealed.

Bradley took out a clean handkerchief from his body and carefully wiped the dirt off her face. He said coldly, "Show your true face later. Even if my woman is not perfect, she can't be someone else's stand-in."

No matter what the reason was, he wouldn't let Freya continue to be someone else's stand-in.

This was his woman, the one who should be doted on in the palm of his hand, instead of bleeding and sweating for others, being so humble that even the honors didn't belong to herself.

This made him feel painful!

"No." Freya maintained the posture of looking up, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with tears. "If I go on stage like this, everyone will know that Tian'er has a stand-in. Tian'er's success today is all because of me. Wuming is the perfect image in the hearts of many fans. I can't ruin the identity of Wuming, and I can't force Tian'er into an public information storm. So, Bradley, I can't do this. Give me back the mask."

Bradley narrowed his eyes. The mask as thin as a cicada's wing in his hand was like a piece of thin paper, slowly folding and forming layers of creases.

Freya watched helplessly as the mask was about to be damaged and said urgently, "Bradley, you can't."

If the mask was damaged, it meant that she couldn't go on stage. Then today's match was destined to be nothing but a joke.

With the writing skills of those reporters, they would definitely write all kinds of unpleasant reports, and in the end, Wuming would be pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

Then all the efforts and hard work she had put into building the image of Wuming over the years would be in vain.

"I only know that my woman can't suffer even the slightest injustice!" Bradley lifted her chin with his other hand and said word by word, "As for the fate of others, I don't care."

Freya saw the look of distress in the man's eyes and knew that by lowering her own status like this, she had made Bradley feel guilty. He was even more annoyed that he hadn't been able to protect her well, which was why she had been working so hard for others, bleeding and sweating.

But Tian'er had a reason that made her have to fight for her.

"Bradley, I've already made an agreement with Tian'er. This is the last match. After today, there will be no more Wuming in this world. So, give me the opportunity to end this myself."

Bradley lowered his eyes and looked deeply at her face. He said in a deep voice, "How do you want to end it?"

Just now, Freya had said that she wouldn't confess about the stand-in boxing. That is to say, even if she wanted to end this matter, she would definitely not involve Chu Tian'er.

Then, the only thing she could do was to deal with it from herself.

He knew Freya. She gave no less in friendship than in love. So this so-called ending would ultimately be based on hurting herself.

"I..." Freya didn't dare to admit it. If Bradley knew that she wanted to end this matter by getting injured, he definitely couldn't bear it. He might even take her home immediately and never let her touch boxing again.

"What are you going to do? Speak!" The man's voice became several degrees louder.

Freya pursed her lips and clenched her fists tightly due to nervousness.

She hesitated for a moment and then took a deep breath. "Trust me. I have my own way to deal with this matter, and everything will develop in a good direction."

Bradley stared at her deeply for a long time. Suddenly, he lowered his handsome face and gently kissed her forehead. He said in a low voice, "I'll deal with this matter, but I'll put you first and then consider minimizing the harm to Chu Tian'er."

The matter of a stand-in boxing, once exposed, would undoubtedly be fatal to a boxer.

Not to mention that their career would suffer a devastating blow, they might even find it difficult to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.

Bradley could understand Freya's feelings. Chu Tian'er had once saved her life, and the reason she became a stand-in boxer was also a choice she made out of necessity.
