?Chapter 364:
Love, to him, was pointless. Romance and even marriage felt like unnecessary detours. No thrill could match the rush of chasing that legendary title. His self-assurance ran deep. Nothing could shake his belief that greatness was his for the taking. He imagined the day when his name would be spoken alongside the masters of the game.
“Step aside. I want to eat, and you’re blocking the way,” Christina said sharply.
“Perfect timing! I’ve been meaning to treat you to a meal. Will you do me the honor?” Kurt beamed,pletely unfazed by the tension just moments before. In his mind, if this woman could keep his hard-headed grandson in check—even if it meant knocking some sense into him—then he was all for it.
“No thanks,” Christina responded coolly, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Sure, she admitted to herself that the young man standing before her was striking. He had the height, the build, and the face to turn heads. But even with all that, he didn’t hold a candle to Dn.

nting his feet more firmly, Robin stood his ground.
“Move me if you can. Let’s see what you’ve got,” he taunted, daring her to make the next move.
“You little br—”
Kurt never got the chance to finish reprimanding his grandson. His words caught in his throat as he stared in disbelief—Christina had smoothly thrown Robin over her shoulder, mming him to the ground without breaking a sweat.
Kurt blinked, stunned by the scene before him. A secondter, his shock melted into delight. He burst into apuse and called out,
