"Darling, aren't you busy right now?"

"I'm done, Laura, didn't I ask you to help me find a fighting master, but now I don't need to, I've found it."

"Okay, I bought a sea cucumber today to make it up for you, you come back early, I'm looking forward to your performance tonight."

"Then you'd better call an ambulance in advance..."

...

Hang up the call with Laura.

Dean tapped on the table, lost in thought.

Anthony even noticed Laura.

Explain that he has investigated himself.

So does the other party know about his black eating black?

Dean was quick to give himself the answer.

Definitely know.

Although the corpses of Nathan and the others were charred.

But at that time, it was handled very roughly, and it couldn't be concealed from someone who cared about it.

So... What does Anthony value about me that makes him obsessed with taking me as an apprentice?

Dean was puzzled by this.

He and Anthony, the first time they met, should have been after killing Bill, and the other party received the news of Mun's report, so he brought someone over.

During this time, he remained in a hospital bed.

We've met each other once.

But since that time.

Dean could clearly sense that Anthony might just want to pull himself into the FBI before, but then he made up his mind to take himself.

After that, Anthony was always in front of Dean and inadvertently showed his compulsion.

I think it's because I really want to take him down.

Dean shook his head.

If you don't understand it, you don't want to.

He didn't sense Anthony's ill will towards him anyway.

Case.

Let's talk about the benefits when they get to it.

After drinking the cup of coffee, Dean got up and went back to his office.

..

The next few days.

The 4th Squadron fell into the rhythm of fishing again.

Bert's wanted warrants have been sent to the various substations and police detective bureaus, but no useful information has been received.

Dean saw that there was nothing to do.

simply dialed the phone number that Anthony had left for him.

Krav Maga, also known as Israeli martial arts.

This martial arts is a special military combat technique developed and created by Israel, which is not only a compulsory combat technique for personnel of the Israel Defense Forces, military and law enforcement agencies, but also a compulsory course for the FBI in the United States.

The biggest feature of Krav Maga is that it is practical and easy to learn, and it pays attention to defeating the enemy with one move.

Karp, whom Anthony introduced to Dean, is a master of this.

Karp is 38 years old, white, and a coach at a fight gym who works not far from the police department.

After Dean contacted him, he said hello to Lawrence, who was immersed in minesweeping, and chose to be absent from work.

There are a lot of gyms in Los Angeles.

But there are not many martial arts halls, and even fewer fighting halls.

Most of the fighting gyms exist in the form of clubs.

The fight gym where Karp is located mainly cooperates with the substation and the police detective bureau here, so it can be maintained.

Strictly speaking.

Karp's coaches are all retired personnel from some special units.

Because of the reason for making an appointment in advance.

When Dean arrived at the fight gym, a bald man was already waiting for him in the hall.

"Karp?" , Dean asked tentatively.

"Hmm." Karp nodded, and after glancing at Dean's body shape: "Your body looks sturdy, this is the clothes and hands, after changing, come to the ring on the third floor!" ”

He threw Dean a package and turned away, looking a little cold.

Dean was unimpressed.

It's good to learn something.

Maybe it's because it's work time, and the fight gym looks a little deserted.

When Dean went to the locker room, he saw a cleaner cleaning up.

Get a change of clothes.

Dean took his gun and went to the third floor.

Karp was already in the ring.

He noticed that Dean was holding a gun bag in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, and then beckoned to him: "I owe Anthony a favor, he asked me to teach you the real Krav Maga, do you want to learn it quickly, or do you want to learn it slowly?" ”

Dean hung the pouch on the pillar of the ring and wondered, "What's the difference?" ”

"The essence of any fighting technique is the most efficient killing technique, and if you want to master these skills quickly, you must first know the function of these skills!"

"If you want to take shortcuts, you have to learn to be beaten first!"

"Sounds good." , Dean twisted his neck, jumped into the ring more than a meter high, and hooked his finger at Karp: "Come on." ”

"Interesting."

Karp grinned, and his body jerked out, like a raging bear, and his hands were on Dean.

Dean is not good at hand-to-hand combat, though.

But after experiencing the last time Bill locked his limbs, he also knew that he couldn't let a martial artist get close.

He reacted quickly and kicked Karp in the stomach to avoid him.

How do you know.

The next moment.

The menacing Karp stepped back and casually put his hand on Dean's kicking foot, and Dean was like an unbalanced spinning top, and the whole person flew out with his strength and crashed into the ring railing.

Karp shook his hand in pain: "The strength is good, but the person is too stupid." ”

"Come again!"

Dean got up from the ground and rushed towards Karp.

This time it was even worse.

He punched over, his fist whistling, looking mighty.

As a result, Karp was like a hip-hop dance, stuck Dean's arm length, shook his head left, swung his head right, easily dodged Dean's serial eight punches, and then kicked his right foot, and with Dean's power, he kicked him away again.

Two times in a row, there is nowhere to go.

Dean reacted.

Karp's Krav Maga is a bit like a means of using force, and the control of distance is very powerful.

Bare hands are not guns.

Can't hit anyone.

No matter how strong you are, it's a stupid ratio.

"Come again!"

After Dean finished speaking, he ignored it and rushed over.

The ring is so big.

See how you hide!

A few meters away, in a flash.

Seeing that he was about to grab Karp with both hands, he lifted him up and threw him down.

Karp jerked forward with his right foot, grabbed Dean's waist with both hands before he could grab him with both hands, and threw it hard with Dean's momentum.

Dean, who weighed nearly two hundred pounds, flew up in the air and fell heavily under the ring.

"Tsk, why did Anthony find such a stupid apprentice as you." Karp jumped out of the ring to see if Dean had broken down.

The next moment.

Dean, who was lying on the ground with a painful expression, grabbed Karp's feet with both hands, pulled him hard, and forcibly pulled him down, and then the whole person bullied him, learning from the way Bill locked himself, locked Karp's limbs, and pulled back hard.

Karp couldn't keep his cold anymore and screamed, "FK, stop, stop, it's broken, it's going to break..."

"Who's the now?" Dean lightened his strength slightly.

Karp dismounted and didn't make it, and now he was ridden by Dean and locked his limbs, so he could only hang his head and say, "I'm a fool!" ”

Dean let go of his hand contentedly.

Karp got up, rubbed his stinging limbs, and scolded: "Anthony, bastard, why didn't you say you would be naked!" ”

Dean shrugged, his face full of innocence: "I'll do this." ”

Karp rolled his eyes: "Okay, the test is over, your strength and speed are very good, the only thing you lack is that you don't know how to play to your strengths, and you have too little actual combat experience, I'll teach you the basic routines of Krav Maga first." ”

Krav Maga is strictly speaking, biased towards subduing counterattacks.

And Karp's military Krav Maga is more brutal, and the routines are everywhere to fight for the vulnerability of people, a little less dexterity in uniform, and a little more ferocity in killing the enemy with one hit!

The next few days.

Dean came to Karp here during the day without work to learn the routines, by the way. was beaten, and in the evening he went to Laura's for soft rice.

On weekends, I will go back to my mother's place for one night to enjoy the warmth of family.

A week later.

On this day, Dean and Karp were rolling on the floor of the fight gym, sweating profusely.

Downstairs at the front desk, he ran up with his mobile phone: "Detective Dean, there is a person named Lawrence who told you to go back quickly, saying that he has found Bert's trace." ”
