Chapter 174 Jessica Gives a Lesson

Ryan didn't answer her question but counter-asked, "Are you Jessica?"

Of course, Jessica didn't answer either, and instead continued to question, "Who exactly are you?"

Ryan shook the curved knife in his hand, confidently announcing himself, "Ryan!"

Jessica shook her head, "Never heard of you."

Never heard of him? Ryan was taken aback by her response. He was Ryan, one of The 72 Martial Masters, recognized throughout the entire USA, ranking at thirty-eight!

This woman didn't recognize him?

"The White Eyebrow Ryan!"

He repeated his title, emphasizing every word.

"Still doesn't ring a bell," she replied.

Jessica's response left Ryan red-faced with anger. "I am The White Eyebrow Ryan, ranked thirty-eighth among the USA's The 72 Martial Masters!"

He had lived for years with respect from everyone he met, and now, this woman had snubbed him. Ryan couldn't stand it. He felt the need to show Jessica just how well-known and powerful The White Eyebrow truly was.

Jessica, perplexed, turned to Daniel and asked, "These 72 Martial Masters, are they something to fuss over?"

"I doubt it. They probably aren't as tough as Kiki back in our hometown."

"Kiki? Who's that?"

"Kiki's a dog, but not just any dog. It's one that can chase me all over the place. I never lost a fight in the village until I got on Kiki's bad side."

"How did you manage that?"

"I accidentally kicked its bowl and then, purely by accident, I kicked its meaty bone into a dung heap. That's when Kiki got mad, barking and chasing after me to bite. Kiki's owner didn't care; she watched with glee as Kiki chased me, even cheered it on. In the end, I had to climb a tree by a widow's house to escape. Kiki couldn't climb, luckily, or it would've been the end of me."

Jessica kicked Daniel in annoyance and tugged at his ear, interrogating him, "You messed with Kiki just to hang around that widow's tree?"

"Darling, you don't understand, that widow was the prettiest in town. She was married for only half a year before her husband died tragically. After that, she lived alone, weeping every night. When something broke in her house, I'd fix it since she had no one else. She was so grateful, often inviting me over for dinner."

"You..."

Jessica was fuming, and without realizing, her grip on his ear tightened further, causing him to yelp in pain.

"Sweetie, I was joking! Please, I made a mistake! That widow's over fifty anyway. How about we visit my hometown someday, and I'll introduce you?"

Hearing this, Jessica couldn't help but chuckle, releasing him.

"If you dare to have designs on that widow, I'll twist those dog ears off for good!"
