Chapter 1007

"When I was doing my homework earlier, I came across a question that discussed whether effort or hard work is more important. I thought that effort is nothing compared to talent, but Lexi thinks otherwise," Irvin explained.

At that, Elise nodded. "Although the effort is important, in some ways, it is hard to surpass talent." It was a chicken or egg question, so there wasn't a right answer to it.

Alexander happened to be in the mood, so he chimed in, "If you don't cherish your talent, those who work hard will ultimately surpass you. Starting a business is easy, but protecting it is a challenge. If you are gifted but do not make good use of it, it would just be worthless."

After Alexander spoke, he paused to look at Zephyr and asked, "What do you think, Doc?"

Zephyr merely looked at him with mixed feelings and kept quiet. The next moment, he tried to change the topic. "Irvin, my dear student, if you're free tonight, you should start taking lessons from me."

"Hey, I'm not your student yet. Also, I just remembered something—you must defeat Mr. Raymond for me." Irvin bargained.

"You? Defeating Raymond? Do you think you're filming an action movie or something?" Zephyr complained.

Although Irvin was approximately 5'2, he was still a child. Meanwhile, Raymond was known as Mr. Olympia of Smith Co. since he was good at fighting. Needless to say, Irvin would never stand a chance if he was pitted against Raymond. The latter overheard their conversation and deliberately flexed to show off his biceps.

Noticing that, Irvin rolled his eyes at him before looking away. "That is not my problem. You promised to fulfill 30 of my wishes. If you fail to do so, then our agreement will be invalid. I'll look for another master elsewhere."
