Helena fell silent at her husband's request. She didn't smile nor did she get angry.
"So, you want to touch me so badly?"
Ethan nodded, anxious that Helena might refuse.
"Too bad. I don't think you'll ever win against me," Helena replied. "What do I get if I win?"
Ethan appeared to be deep in thought. "I'll do anything you want."
Helena laughed, looking at her husband with pity. He was truly naïve. With the confidence of a winner, she said, "Get ready and attack me!"
Ethan began to take a stance, but Helena suddenly said, "Wait! Put on some protection because I'm afraid I might hurt you."
"I don't think it's necessary," Ethan protested. How could he wear protection while Helena wore none at all?
However, Helena insisted, "Haven't you seen what I did to those straw men?" She sneered, underestimating him.
