"Look, he's here," Father Sub smiled as he watched Lisa and Jennie enter the hall. He then gestured for Johnny to stand up.

Second Master Manoban also spotted Lisa, but his eyes did not remain on him. After all, he had already seen his face for many decades; it wasn't anything new. Instead, he placed his eyes on the woman by his side, Jennie.

At first glance, this young lady felt quite cold but she didn't seem arrogant; she was quiet with a non-intimidating gaze. Those around her naturally felt comfortable.

Originally, the entire family had expected this nephew of his to remain a bachelor forever. Who would have thought he'd finally be awoken.

However, would someone from the entertainment industry be clean?

"Come sit. Were you stuck in traffic?" Second Master Manoban immediately asked.

He originally thought, no matter what reason Lisa had for being late, he would create an excuse for him: traffic. However...

Lisa pulled out the chair like a gentleman and helped Jennie sit before pulling out his own chair and replying, "There was no traffic."

Second Master Manoban's expression changed. Meanwhile, Johnny and Father Suh's expression wasn't any better.

Jennie glanced at Second Master Manoban and back at Lisa. She noticed the smirk on Lisa's face and quickly responded, "I am so sorry. I was the one stuck in traffic. Lisa was only late because he was waiting for me. I feel really bad for having made you all wait."

As soon as Second Master Manoban heard this, his face warmed up before he looked approvingly at Jennie.

At this time, Lisa grabbed Jennie's hand under the table, rubbed it a few times and buried it in his palm.

Jennie understood Lisa had done this on purpose to give her a chance to perform and gain a good impression.

"It's no big deal," Father Suh waved his hand. He then pointed at Jennie and said to Second Master Manoban, "I know who this young lady is. She's been in the news quite often lately."

On the surface, Father Suh seemed to be praising Jennie's popularity and fame. But, in reality, he was trying to hint that she wasn't someone simple.

After hearing Father Suh's words, Second Master Manoban asked Lisa, "You know about this?"

"Of course."

"Good," Second Master Manoban completely trusted Lisa's judgment. Since he had brought her to such an important meeting, she definitely meant something to him. It wasn't easy for Lisa to dispose of the single life, so Second Master Manoban wasn't going to let her escape.

As a result, he decided to put in a few good words for Jennie, "It's normal for young people to be fresh and vigorous. Of course, compared to Johnny, we still have a long way to go."

In other words: 'How dare you ridicule my niece-in-law when your son changes three women a day?'

In actual fact, the two elders were merely here to put on a show. In the world of business, a sword had no eyes. They had already hurt each other so many times, there was no way they could truly be friends.

Of course, Father Suh was rendered speechless by Second Master Manoban. After quite some time, he finally returned to the main topic, "I feel really bad that Johnny couldn't keep his mouth shut and has created trouble for Lisa..."

"Old Man Suh, did you think everything would be forgiven just because you said you 'feel bad?'" Lisa asked.

"President Manoban, if you have the ability, you should go prove yourself to the media. Was it necessary for you to complain to my father?" Johnny asked with a frivolous tone and arrogant attitude. It appeared he had no intention to apologize. Of course, Lisa wasn't here to get an apology from him either.

"Shut your mouth!" Father Suh roared at Johnny angrily, "Apart from playing with women all day, what else can you do?"

"I don't understand. Does Star King need to be suppressed by Manoban Entertainment?"

"It seems President Suh has his objections," Lisa looked at the father and son as he lifted his eyebrows. At this time, Second Master Manoban did not intend to step in, he just wanted to concentrate on watching the show.

"Let's compete, so you can prove to me that you are a real man?" Johnny squinted lazily at Lisa.

"Let's do it then," Lisa replied swiftly.

"What do you want to compete with me against?"

"Since we have everything we need here, then let's compete for one thing at a time. I'll let you decide on the challenge. We will have 5 rounds. As long as you win one, I'll consider you the victor."

Victory with one win!

Let's not mention Johnny, even Jennie was a little surprised by Lisa's offer. Victory with one win; how much disdain and shame did this represent?

Johnny's face turned red as he stood up from his seat, "Since we are men, we should speak with our fists. The first round, let's compete in boxing."

"You asked for it..." Lisa gave a refined smile.

"A word of warning though, I plan to let the media in," Second Master Manoban pointed to the furiously photo-snapping reporters.

Originally, Second Master Manoban thought Lisa would disagree. But, he instead answered in an unexpected way, "Up to you." He then stood up and pulled Jennie up with him, "In 10 minutes, I'll see you in the boxing ring. Let's go get ready."

"Just because you are getting ready, why do you need to take..." Second Master Manoban looked at the couple and questioned.

Lisa's expression remained composed as he lifted an eyebrow, "I need her."

After speaking, he led Jennie towards the boxing stadium, disregarding the media at the entrance.

Second Master Manoban turned around and sighed. He suddenly realized, his normally emotionless nephew had this other side of him - what a shock.

Johnny watched as the couple left. He then stood up and also headed for the stadium.

"Should we go too?" Second Master Manoban said to Father Suh.

"Let's go have a look."

In actual fact, Father Suh was also curious how his son compared to others.

Not long after, the reporters were led into the boxing stadium to become the audience for the fight.

"The only reason Manoban Entertainment is being so open today is because they want to clear up the rumors, right?"

"What rumor is he trying to clear with boxing? From my point of view, when has President Manoban ever lost? Previously, the netizens discussions were saying that President Suh's body is perfect. I have a feeling President Manoban is going to show us all his body."

"But, he's never been this childish."

"Then how do you explain what we see before us?"

The reporters located their photography vantage points and whispered amongst themselves. They were right, Lisa wasn't usually this childish. But, this was before Jennie said one simple thing.

When she said that...

...she didn't want to see him get devalued...

Sometimes, when life got too boring, bringing one's wife out to play could increase the level of enjoyment. Especially when one could...

...teach a jerk a lesson.

Inside the change room, Jennie looked at Lisa's naked upper-body. Her face involuntarily turned red, "I don't want others to see it..."

"It's OK, they can only look. From now on, they can merely drool!"
