Chapter 75 A Beautiful View
The nursing home was old and empty. The windows of the corridor were tightly closed, and layers of newspaper were pasted over them, making the entire space seem creepier.
Walking through the empty corridors, there was only the sound of their footsteps, which made his hair stand on its end.
The corridor was very long and stretched out across the entire hallway. After walking for a few minutes, they finally reached the end. What greeted them there was an old iron door. There was a small window through it and it looked pitch black inside.
Sienna stopped right in front of it. She peeked into the window and said, "I'm 0017."
Hearing this, Zachary was puzzled. He didn't quite understand what Sienna meant.
Just as he was trying to figure out what was going on, he heard a squeak coming from behind the door. The door swung open and he saw an old man in a wheelchair appear from the shadows.
His head was covered in a patch of grey hair, and his skin was saggy and wrinkled. The clothes he wore were loose and worn out. At first glance, he was an ordinary old man.
However, after hearing Sienna, his eyes flashed, revealing a chilling gleam in them. The only other time Zachary had seen the same gleam was in Sienna's eyes.
After sizing Sienna up, he turned his attention towards Zachary. Then, he nodded, opened the iron door little by little, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come in!"
"Thank you, Uncle Wong!" Sienna nodded at the old man and walked in with Zachary.
After passing through the iron gate, Zachary could sense an obvious change in their surroundings.
If the outside of the iron gate was ramshackle and gloomy, he could say it was hard and sharp inside.
It was also a corridor, but there were bright lights on top, and there were some ornaments hanging on both sides of the corridor. Among them were sharp weapons like daggers, scythe, and even automated weapons like guns and so forth. Zachary didn't need someone to tell him that these weapons were real.
After turning a few corners along the corridor, he could hear the sounds of people chattering and weapons colliding.
After putting two and two together, Zachary deduced that there was combat going on.
"We're here," Sienna stopped in front of a door and looked back at Zachary. Then, she pushed the door open.
When the door swung open, Zachary felt a gush of warm air blowing against his face. He looked forward and saw a large room, surrounded by a lot of training equipment, just like a gym. However, there were also other strange equipment that couldn't be found at regular gyms.
Besides that, there was a square boxing ring about four meters long in the middle of the room. In the ring, he could see two shirtless young men battling it out.
Unlike formal boxing competitions, the two of them had no protective gear on. They fought with their bare fists and unprotected head. It seemed like the sounds Zachary heard earlier came from here.
When Sienna pushed the door open and walked in, a strong man with a crewcut, known as Silas Pan was in the ring, punching the other blonde man, Gilbert Kong to the ground. Silas then sat on top of Gilbert and punched him with all his might.
Gilbert shouted in a hurry as he saw Silas' large fist was about to land on his face. "I tap out, I tap out!"
"Gigolo, you lose again. Get out!" Silas pushed Gilbert out of the ring, then smashed his broad chest and laughed wildly.
Gilbert quickly picked himself off the ground after he was pushed off the ring and took a mirror out from his pocket to look at his face. He immediately shouted to Silas, "Gorilla, you're a monster. You promised that you wouldn't go for my face! Look at my handsome face, it's swollen! Is it because you're jealous of my looks?"
"Bullshit, Gigolo. Do you think I'll be jealous of someone with your level of fighting skills?" Silas snorted and burst into laughter.
Both of them continued bickering. At this moment, Sienna had walked over to the ring with Zachary. Everyone in the crowd immediately turned to look at them. "Sienna, you're here! How about a match with me?" Silas' eyes lit up when he spotted Sienna.

Sienna didn't even look at him. "I'm good with guns, if you want to battle with guns, then count me in."
Silas huffed, "Men should fight with their bare hands, we don't need weapons."
"I'm not a man!" Sienna's words successfully rendered Silas the Gorilla speechless.
Gilbert, who was known as Gigolo, also walked over with a smile at this moment. Acting like a little brother, he said coquettishly to Sienna, "Sienna, Gorilla bullied me again. Look, he made my handsome face swell." "If you touch me, I'll make sure it's disfigured," Sienna said coldly. Gilbert slowly retreated his hands that were about an inch away from her.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
"Sienna!" "Sienna, you're here!"
Numerous people greeted her. It looked like everyone here was familiar with each other.
After a round of chit chat, they turned their attention to Zachary, especially Silas and Gilbert. All of them stared sharply at him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Sienna, this is the man you brought? He looks thin and weak. He barely has any muscle on him. Are you sure he can do this?" Silas eyed Zachary with suspicion.
"Sienna, is he the reason why you don't look for me nowadays?" Gilbert pouted.
Sienna turned a deaf ear to both of them. She pointed to Zachary and introduced him to everyone, "This is Zachary Ching. He has come to learn some fighting skills from us."
Then, she pointed to Silas and Gilbert, and proceeded to introduce them separately. "Silas, aka Gorilla. Gilbert, aka Gigolo. They'll be your trainers for the next few weeks."
Zachary nodded and reached out his hand with a smile, "Nice to meet you. Please teach me well."
Seeing Zachary's outstretched hand, Silas crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. He said, "Kid, the only reason you made it here is 'cause of Sienna. But, not everyone gets to be taught by me." Zachary turned to face Gilbert, who was still smiling, but behind the smile, there was a hint of cautiousness. "My face is swollen, I can't fight anymore!"
"I can't rely on my connection with Sienna to enter their circle," Zachary thought to himself, deducing the situation.
He stopped smiling and said seriously to both of them, "How am I supposed to prove myself worthy?"
Silas smiled and held out three fingers. "Three minutes. If you manage to survive for 3 minutes in the ring with me, I'll train you."
"If Gorilla is in, then I'm in!" Gilbert inched closer to Sienna again and said coquettishly as if he was using this to get on Sienna's good side.
The crowd began buzzing with discussion.
"Gorilla, even a rock would break under your fists in 3 minutes. Are you sure you're not trying to avoid teaching him?"
"Is that kid scared? Not everyone can get on Sienna's good side."
"Kid, don't do it! Your opponent isn't even human, he's a gorilla!"
"Kid, do you accept the challenge?" Silas wagged his fingers and looked at Zachary with a proud smile on his face.
"Okay, three minutes then," Zachary nodded solemnly. He took off his shirt and jumped into the ring.
