Teaching You a Lesson on Behalf of America!
Even Zachary Taylor himself didn't think he could hit Victor. He had witnessed Victor's agility and speed firsthand. Not to mention his weak fists, he could easily dodge even a bayonet thrust out with full force by an enemy.
He was only angered by Victor's careless joke about his death, which made him act recklessly. In reality, he was just bluffing and trying to scare this disrespectful guy. He didn't really expect to hit him.
But what no one expected was that after jumping out of bed, Zachary Taylor, who looked very weak, suddenly covered the distance of more than a meter in front of the bed with an astonishing speed far exceeding his previous speed, and rushed to Victor's side. The punch that was originally thrown casually actually hit Victor's head hard, making him squat on the ground with his head in his hands.
Under the astonished gazes of James and Victor, who was crouching on the ground, Zachary Taylor tentatively clenched his fist, feeling the powerful force emanating from his palm. Zachary Taylor felt that his current strength seemed to be much greater than when he was young and at the peak of his physical abilities.
What exactly happened?
Looking at his powerful arms, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but recall what Chen Mo had just said.
He has been resurrected from the dead!
We know clearly the cause of his death and the series of reasons behind it!
Fifteen years later, they defeated half of United States and ended slavery!
It can make him young again!
Grant him Eternal Life!
In the next century, establish the United States Central Bank and become its sole owner!
And then there was that line, "You've just woken up and your body is still very weak, but it won't be long before you fully recover and you'll notice the changes in your body!"
Are there changes in the body?
Zachary Taylor recalled Chen Mo's words and felt the weakness in his body gradually dissipate, replaced by abundant vitality and powerful strength!
Zachary Taylor lowered his arms, looked down at Victor, who was still squatting on the ground, holding his head in his hands and looking at him with a surprised expression, and a kind smile appeared on his lips.
"Victor, get up, let me try again."
Upon hearing this, Victor abruptly stood up from the ground, stopped rubbing his head, and glared fiercely at Zachary Taylor, speaking in a cold voice.
"Old man Taylor, you asked for this! Don't worry, if I accidentally kill you later, I'll definitely send you back to your coffin."
Zachary Taylor's face darkened again upon hearing this. What a sharp-tongued and vicious brat!
"Come on, kid! Let me, the President America, teach you a lesson on behalf of the United States!"
"Excuse me, Mr. President, you seem to have forgotten something."
"President Taylor is dead. The current president is your former vice president, Miller Fillmore. You probably can't represent America to lecture me anymore!"
Zachary Taylor then remembered that he was actually "dead," but he was not willing to be verbally suppressed by Victor. Remembering Chen Mo's previous promise, Zachary Taylor became even more imposing and said to Victor with a sense of smugness.
"Then I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the central bank! You can come and be my bodyguard then!"
"The master will not agree!"
"He will!"
"He definitely won't!"
"Are you two still fighting or not?"
Seeing the two arguing like two quarreling children, James, who was standing nearby, simply reminded them of their original intentions.
Interrupted by James, the two realized they were supposed to fight, but they had unknowingly turned into verbal sparring. Feeling embarrassed under James's disdainful gaze, the two immediately glared fiercely at each other and started punching each other.
Despite the argument, Victor was still careful with his strength. He didn't use his full power at first, but after taking several punches from Zachary Taylor and seeing his smug look, the enraged Victor finally stopped holding back and used his full strength to fight Zachary Taylor. Of course, he didn't use his fingertips' claws, but instead clenched his fists and exchanged blows with Zachary Taylor.
In the end, Victor emerged victorious, but he looked even more disheveled than the defeated Zachary Taylor, with both eyes now covered in black eyes.
"Old man Taylor! Even if the master has granted you power, you are still no match for me. It seems I can no longer be your bodyguard, the governor of the central bank!"
Victor, sporting two black eyes, mocked smugly.
Zachary Taylor, rubbing his stomach which was throbbing from Victor's swift punch, glared defiantly and said.
"Kid, you just wait. The day I defeat you, you'll be rolling around working as a guard!"
Upon hearing this, Victor grinned, revealing two fangs.
"No problem, but only if you can beat me! You're so old, why are you still fighting all the time? Wouldn't it be better for an old man to stay home, grow flowers, and walk the dog?"
"Old man?! I..."
Zachary Taylor was about to explode in anger, but then seemed to suddenly remember something. He gave Victor a meaningful look, then ignored him and turned to leave the room.
Victor and James exchanged bewildered glances, completely confused. Shouldn't he be furious with him? Why isn't he behaving as expected?
After the two bickered for a while, Victor's panda eyes had completely healed thanks to his powerful regenerative abilities. He didn't go out with two dark circles under his eyes, otherwise his nickname would have become "Sabertooth Panda".
Zachary Taylor left the room, turned down the stairs in the corridor, and came to the lobby on the first floor. Along the way, he sorted out what he had just gained.
After the "fight" between the two, Zachary Taylor was shocked to discover that his strength had been amazingly enhanced after his resurrection, making him almost on par with Victor.
However, although he was older, his combat experience and skills were not as strong as Victor's. Apart from having a slight advantage at the beginning when Victor did not use his full strength, he was quickly suppressed and beaten when Victor used his real strength.
If Victor hadn't been considerate enough to save face for him and hadn't humiliated him, his fate would have been a hundred times worse than Victor's; he would have inevitably become Pig-Headed Hero.
After years of fighting against fur companies, armed men, and the Mexico army, Victor and James have greatly improved their strength. Although they have not yet reached their peak strength shown in the movie, they are already quite formidable.
