Lawrence heard the scream of White Lotus and when his back was turned he heard the gang leader called Happy call him out. Instinctively Lawrence ducks down during the leap as Happy tries to do a flying leap kick to his head and wound up over shooting even with the duck by the foreigner. He landed on the other side of the counter now. Lawrence peeked over but soon went over to see how White Lotus was fairing but lo and behold Happy was cutting off Lawrence from her.<strong>"Can't I call a time out?"</strong>The next happens in but a small amount of time.<br/><br/>In response Happy launched an attack towards Lawrence's head which was blocked by an empty palm to the forearm which allows Lawrence to step into the big mans reach and strike the ribs with the right elbow. Staggering for a second Happy finds Lawrence moving forward with him giving now a short right to the ribs once more followed by a short left to the same area. The gangster retaliates backing away from Lawrence by a step before going for a short body blow. Lawrence's hands shoot down and catch the fist but the momentum lands into the stomach making him rise up with his arms to spread the impact from his stomach into his arms. He used that kinetic force to spring backwards and onto a table. Every time Lawrence moved he was attempting to bring himself closer to White Lotus.<br/><br/>The logic behind this was simple, work the ribs until they crack or break by means of quick strikes. Like a battering ram's method of breaking a door down, there is only so many times the body can withstand blows to the same area before yielding to the blows. A prime example of the wing chun style and possibly proof enough that Lawrence was more competent then he was initially letting on.
