Gino gritted his teeth in pain as Tang Feng forcefully rubbed the places he'd been hit. "Is this how you should treat your savior?"

"Aren't I the one who saved you in the end? Otherwise, you'd be a bloody mess by the time Charles is through with you."

"Why do you know a violent bastard like that? He doesn't suit you at all. Tang, you should keep your distance from people like that. They're all heartless vampires who'll suck you dry and then leave you to rot on the floor." Gino stared at the other actor. Tang Feng's lips were a bit swollen. It didn't take much for Gino to figure out how it'd happened.

Gino felt as if that goddamn Charles had kicked him in the chest along with the stomach, otherwise his chest wouldn't feel so heavy.

"I feel like I have internal injuries. My chest hurts a lot right now. Goddamn it, I'm going to sue him!" Not only did his chest hurt, Gino was having trouble breathing. He felt was if he were on the verge of dying.

"Don't be a child. If you sue him, the two of you will probably end up with the same sentence. Don't forget that you made the first move, Mr. Michael Gino." Tang Feng was surprised by Gino's brashness. The latter had swung a fist at Charles without asking anything beforehand. Charles also liked to hold grudges; Gino's name was probably already on his blacklist. Tang Feng decided that he needs to give Charles a few good kicks after returning home.

Tang Feng glanced at Gino, the other actor was staring at him like a child who'd been reprimanded for something he didn't do. As expected, the good-natured image Gino had projected when they'd first met in China was something that Tang Feng had conjured up himself. The willful and demanding overgrown child that was sitting in front of him right now was the Gino that he once knew.

Gino had been born in a wealthy family and been given a top-class education; a fortunate life indeed. Of course, that meant Gino had the terrible attitude that was the result of all the pampering from his family and his manager.

"Next time, I'm going to beat him into the ground!" Gino promised to himself.

Tang Feng chuckled. Charles didn't get his muscles by training in the gym, that was obvious from the way he had fought with Gino earlier.

Gino's punches had clearly been learned from a coach in a gym, with an emphasis on rules and a good form.

On the other hand, Charles fought like a gangster on the street. There were no rules or patterns in his way of fighting, but one look and Tang Feng knew that Charles had plenty of fighting experience; he was going for the kill with every punch and kick he'd landed on Gino.

As for good sportsmanship?

When it came to a fight with real knives and guns, who had the time to care about sportsmanship? In any case, they weren't competitors fighting a fair match in a competition.

Due to the fight, Gino had a difficult time filming his scenes during the afternoon. He ended up having a long chat with the director about his role and what he should portray. Tang Feng got to leave early as a result.

There was a violent bear named Charles waiting for him at home. Tang Feng had to sign an unfair contract with Charles during lunch in order to make the bear leave "calmly."

While Tang Feng was collecting his things and preparing to leave with his assistant, Lu Tian Chen drove over to pick him up.

"President Lu, aren't you busy?" Tang Feng sat beside Lu Tian Chen in the car. This routine of theirs had been occurring for a few days already. Lu Tian Chen would come pick him up whenever he had time. Though theoretically, Lu Tian Chen shouldn't have so much free time as the CEO of a large company.
