" You bastard! You are finally here!" Peter came running toward Samuel with a huge smile on his face.

" Good evening Uncle-" For a moment Samuel thought that all was forgiven but that's the exact moment he was met with a superb roundhouse kick to his face. Of course he was able to defend because he was expecting such a welcome but that didn't mean that the kick was normal one as his forearms felt the massive impact!

" Come on! Do we have to do this? You are practically using your full strength!" Samuel exclaimed after blocking the hit.

" Less talking will help you defend more skillfully." Peter didn't say much just kept attacking Samuel. He was a little surprised to see his nephew block his kick but he had a lot more moves in his arsenal.

He started going at him from different angles. Few jabs and kick, he was using his vast knowledge in martial arts to fish for any weakness. He wasn't using full force as Samuel stated and didn't use any heavy blows utilizing knees and elbows but even then the explosive sounds of their hits colliding could be felt reverberating across the clearing.

Few of the guards tactfully formed a circle around them enjoying the great sparring. It was a common occurrence for them to see them fight but never with each other and whenever they did, there was a big group of people that would come to watch because of their mastery over the martial arts.

But it wasn't the same for the people that drove in the cages, few of them did some work for the family and knew of both men's status. They were baffled with how rough their fight was, for them it was like they were fighting to kill each other!

After few minutes, Samuel stopped defending. There would be no end to it if he didn't fight back. His uncle had a lot of endurance which meant he could go on for an hour if he needed to. He didn't want to be beaten one sidedly and forced to use his powers, it wouldn't be a fair fight.

His Uncle definitely had explosive force behind his attack because of his big size but Samuel knew he was faster on his feet. He could go toe to toe but that would only awaken Peter's inner competitiveness which would only result in pointless sparing every time they meet in the future.

Samuel leaped back trying to create some distance to avoid the barrage of attack he was throwing toward him.

" No you don't." Peter knew he had him pinned. He wasn't going to give Samuel any advantage without having his fill with him. He lunged forward to close the gap again but that's when Samuel just jumped using his monstrous legs, he was able to directly get behind Peter by leaping over his head.

" Wooo!"

" Awesome!" The peanut gallery erupted in cheers. Everyone thought Samuel as the underdog, Peter and Daniel were the undisputed champions in their eyes. Even if young heir was impressive for his age and was a superior weapons' expert, the size difference was something they couldn't ignore coupled with the fact that Peter always in the training hall. He must have a slight advantage right? Wrong.

Peter could see from the corner of his eye, Samuel marching forward as soon as he landed behind him. He could have landed a spinning back elbow but it would have smashed Samuel's nose which was why he opted for a back kick to at least create some room for him to face him but Samuel wouldn't let such a golden opportunity go.

" Go you!" Samuel glued himself at the big guy's back wrapping his legs around his waist and using his hands to put him in a chokehold. Peter tried to lock his neck utilizing his chin and tried to peel his arms away from his neck.

The two men started fighting for control, Peter was still standing struggling to outdo the hold. Samuel started using his fingers to snake around for any small gaps around and finally was able to find a breakthrough.

Seeing no other option, Peter starting rolling around in the grass hoping the impact would cause Samuel to lose his grip but he wasn't that naive. Slowly, he was able to put his head in a headlock increasing the pressure about his neck veins trying to choke him out.

Peter's face was turning red but he wasn't someone that would tap out. He would rather go unconscious than to surrender! Samuel was very delicate with his strength, he knew one large move and he could directly snap his head off but seeing that his uncle refused to give up he decided it was better to resolve the matter more cordially.

He loosened his grip for a millisecond which was enough for peter to get his fat fingers through his forearms making a small gap for his airway. He was about to counter attack when he felt Samuel letting him go.

He pushed Peter off of him and stood up to help him up. Peter felt lightheaded for a second before taking his hand as a support to stand up again. He glanced at his nephew that didn't even seem out of breath just smiling at him.

It was a eerily similar to when he first took him to the training hall, he had that childlike appreciation for the craft and looking at his performance, he definitely came a long way.

" I almost had you." Samuel said with a huge grin on his face.

" No you didn't. I was going easy on you from the start." Peter tapped his shoulders. It was his way to say he was proud of him without saying it out loud.

"Fine, let's call it a draw then." Samuel shrugged. It's not like he didn't notice him not going all out.

" Okay and I am only giving you that because you didn't scratched my baby. If there was even a little dent, we would be fighting a duel of life and death!"

" Alright, I get it. I will be even more careful with your 'baby' in the future!"

" Hold on! I never said it you can take it again! I have to lock it in a cage if you are still eyeing me car!" While they were arguing the spectators were in a shock. They never thought that Samuel could get a upper hand against Peter!

" That was insane!"

" You are right, did you see that move? He was so fast with his grappling! I never knew young master learned it?"

" That is why I told you come to training session more often. I had seen him go against countless so called grappling experts."

" Suddenly, I feel like sparring."

" Right? After this, we should swing by the training hall."

...

...

...

" So there are six of them?"

" Yes, we are starting off small. There is a lot of things to consider, whether they like their new environment? Will they be able to survive here for extended period of time? We have to do a lot of research on them discreetly. I am bringing few experts to assess the situation better." Peter stated.

" Shouldn't you have done that before this?"

" What's fun in that? They need to be mentally strong enough and physically stronger if they want to live with the Rothschilds! Hahaha"

" They are not fighters! They are living animals! Somehow I feel like this was all a mistake." Samuel felt bad for the new additions. They didn't know they had a maniac as their new owner!

" Too late for that, you should do the honors." Peter said giving him chance to free them out of their cage. Samuel could hear them thrashing around and even feel their emotions which was a mix of fear and displeasure. It was understandable because they just woken up from being sedated for god know how many hours or days.

They had the cages aligned around the entrance of a clearing which led to the forest. It was twenty by twenty feet of land fully barricaded, after they were let out inside of this area a separate automated entrance would open up through which they could finally go inside their new home.

Seeing him hesitate for a moment, Peter asked with a smile," Are you scared?"

" A little but I can at least pull the lever."

" Hahaha, there is nothing to be afraid about! I will fight them off if they try to jump over the fence." Peter said while beating his chest like he could match against these large beasts!

" Can they jump over this?" Samuel was more afraid of the idea of them escaping!

" I have been reassured that they can't. Probably when they are well fed and rested but not in this state but after they leave this little area it is practically impossible to do so."

Samuel nodded and unleashed all six of them inside the small little facility. Three of them instantly ran outside seeing the light while three stayed behind, Peter had to bang on their cages to scare them to come out.
