City Hall opened at 8.30 am, but Skyler and Lily were soon inside, jumping the queue thanks to the latter pulling strings.

Bump!

With camera shutters snapping for a photo and a seal stamped in place, they were soon outside again thirty minutes later.

Compared to the others here to register their marriage, they distinctly lacked any happiness.

"I'm going back to my office," Lily said quietly, glancing at Skyler. "Do you need a ride?"

Skyler shook his head, and Lily got in the back seat. "Hugh, drive."

As they drove off, Lily peeked at Skyler as he stood by the curb, and then glanced at the marriage certificate she was holding.

Suddenly, she felt gloomy.

She was now married, not to a man she loved—but to a man whom strength she would be relying on to survive outside threats.

That was when Hugh quietly said, "Miss Sable… Mr. Woods is actually a good man."

Lily frowned. "Don't you get it?"

"I do," Hugh sighed under his breath.

In the end, Lily and Skyler had just met, a

    After all, every martial artist knew very well that Skyler's current rank was the peak of martial arts.It was why he never expected that after three years, the dormant ring would suddenly absorb Raven's essence.But what did the reactivation of the ring mean? That Skyler's current rank wasn't really the pinnacle?It also begged the question: why did the ring stay dormant for three years?That was when an unfamiliar voice yanked him from his thoughts. "Excuse me, but can we share a table?"Skyler looked up to see a youth around his age, standing over 5'8". He would count as handsome even with his scrawny figure, if not for his blemished skin.There weren't many tables in the morning cafe, and there were tables outside. Each was small, only sitting two.It just so happened that the tables outside were full, and only Skyler's table had another free seat."I'm done," Skyler replied quietly."Thanks!" The youth sat down opposite Skyler with his plate of pasta, and Skyler glanced a

    "You want a piece of me, brat?!"Boris strode over, ready to shove Skyler just as he did the youth. "Don't you know who I am—ow!" Suddenly, he could not move his hand even before he reached Skyler, as he was caught by the wrist!Even as Boris flinched in pain, he snapped, "Shit! Let go—"Crunch!Skyler simply flicked his wrist, and there was a hair-raising crunch of bones as Boris collapsed to his knees, screaming.His hand was dangling at a weird angle, clearly dislocated!"Apologize," Skyler's tone remained calm."Fucking—"Smack!Skyler finally freed Boris' wrist, only to slap him audibly across the face.Boris was sent falling backward, bleeding from the nose as a crimson palm print appeared over his left cheek.Still, his goons finally came to their senses and lunged at Skyler without hesitation, instantly reaching him.The one at the front even handedly whipped out a switchblade, his face contorted savagely.However, even before he realized what happened, he felt h

    And with those words, Skyler started forward again."Wait!"The youth leaped in front of him in a flash, stopping him.Skyler's eyes narrowed—that movement was crisp and agile.However, that was relative to the average person, and actually insignificant in his eyes.Still, he frowned. "Are you done?""No, wait…"The youth exclaimed, flustered. "Boris and his men are actually a big deal. They work for Wyvern, and now that you got off the wrong foot against them—"He could see that Skyler was strong, but as the saying goes, there was always strength in numbers…Still, he had no idea that he managed to pique Skyler's interest this time.That honey trap at the hotel, and the attempted murder in a precinct!Weren't those carried out under Wyvern's orders?Still, Skyler knew that he should prioritize, and his top priority was to marry Lily Sable to accomplish his task of misdirection.And now that the first step was done, he just so happened to find a lead to reach Wyvern…Well

    Ding!As Chris Hunt dashed out of the hospital elevator, Skyler slowly followed.Right now, he just had to wait for Skyler to finish his business here and contact Boris, pretending to take his offer to fight at the illegal boxing ring.Once he got there, reaching Wyvern wouldn't be difficult since the man owned the place."Stella!" Chris exclaimed as he rushed into the ward with breakfast."Chris…" The girl's voice was melodious but frail."Here, you should eat something," Chris hurried to her.Skyler only reached the ward by the time Chris had taken out the breakfast he bought.However, when he saw the girl on her sickbed, he felt his breath left his lungs.What a beauty!Her face was so dainty it could fit his palm, and her visage was one of perfection.Even if she couldn't groom her hair and had no makeup on since she was hospitalized, there was no hiding those looks. She could even give Lily Sable a run for her money.With her pale cheeks that painted her with a sickly

    After staring at Stella's arm for a long while, Skyler suddenly got up and asked, "What's her illness?"Chris did a double take—why did the man suddenly look like a completely different person?He knew for a while that Skyler hadn't saved him from Boris out of kindness. But no matter what Skyler's reasoning was, the man had saved him, and he must be grateful.However, Skyler had been nonchalant at best even when Chris thanked him earlier, until Wyvern was mentioned…In other words, Skyler was sticking with him to gather information.That was why even Chris believed that Skyler was the lofty-type who acted as if nothing concerned him.That was especially obvious since he came into Stella's ward, but never bothered to ask a thing… until now.So what was going on here? Why would Skyler suddenly ask about his sister? "It's bone marrow failure," Chris quickly answered nonetheless."I'll treat her," Skyler said, starting toward Stella."Huh…?" "What are you doing?!"While Chris

    At the precinct, Linda just received a call from the captain and was heading out of her office.Pop! Pop! Pop!The loud bursts as soon as she opened the door left Linda revealing, as confetti filled the air in a split second, engulfing her..She finally saw several other officers, holding party poppers as they cheered."Congratulations, Linda!""That was amazing!""All hail Linda!"Linda was left at a loss as her colleagues all competed amongst themselves to congratulate her."Well done, Linda!"Even Roy Allen, captain of the precinct, was all smiles as he came to congratulate Linda. "You've landed a big score this time, and I reported it upstairs. Just wait for your medals—I'm sure you'd be catapulted up the ranks!""What…? Cap, I don't get it," Linda was baffled.Captain Allen merely laughed heartily. "The lady of the hour! And she's still so humble even with such a historical achievement!""But I really don't get it…""Linda!"A policewoman in her twenties exclaimed, h

    Since Skyler had given whatever money he had left to Stella, he really needed cash now!That meant not only did he have to settle the beef with Wyvern tonight, he had to make a killing too…But for that, he'd need his own capital first.So what was he supposed to do?"Skyler," a voice called out from behind just then."What's up?" He asked as he turned to find Lily standing there."You're… acting strange. Did something happen?"There was no question that Lily's opinion of Skyler had changed after the past couple days. After all, he had first exposed that woman who tried to kill her, before decimating Seven Deaths to register their marriage as planned.Still, that was exactly why she could tell that he was acting strange today, and therefore came to ask.Skyler shook his head—there was no chance he'd tell Lily he ran into someone precious to him by chance. "Nothing. I have an errand to run, so I'm heading out.""Oh…" Lily nodded. "Well, there's something we need to discuss."

    Later, Skyler and Chris were standing by the curb, with Skyler explaining to the other man beforehand that he was just there for show.There was no help—Chris had to take care of his heavily ill sister, and he mustn't take the risk. What would happen to her if things got bad?Still, Chris couldn't help asking, "Mr. Woods… Do you have a grudge against Wyvern?"He was a fine close-quarters fighter, but could tell right away that Skyler outclassed him by miles when he fought Boris.However, numbers always win!No matter how good a man was, they could handle a handful at best.Against a dozen—let alone twenty… And as a kingpin, Wyvern would have hundreds of goons with him, and Chris would rather nothing bad happened to Skyler…That was when Skyler nodded.

    In the lounge, over a dozen boxers waited silently.Naturally, this wasn't everyone, as most wouldn't be fighting over consecutive days.After a round or two, they would be resting for a few days, or up to two weeks if they sustained worse injuries… or perhaps they would never stand on their feet again!That was why one would only find twentyish boxers at best each day.As Skyler got himself a chair, however, a burly bearded man grinned intimidatingly at him, brandishing his knuckle.Everyone was used to that as bullying newbies were all too common.That was when the speakers crackled, "In ten minutes, our old friend Tyrant will be up against our newbie Sandfox. Odds are 1 against three—please put your bets on as soon as possible, as we will stop taking bets a minute before the match!""Who's Sandfox?" Beardie asked without thinking.He was obviously Tyrant, which was his boxer nickname.As Skyler looked around in reflex as well, Chris leaned in, telling him under his breath,

    The driver almost wet himself right then, and said no more.With that, the Santana sped off, and soon arrived at the illegal boxing ring.It used a rather bleak bar as a front, hiding the basement that went thirty feet beneath.Every guest here needed a referee—even if the cops knew that this place existed, they never found it.The headed down a passage, eventually arriving outside a pair of steel doors.Creak…As the doors opened, it revealed a sight that was a stark contrast to the pitch-black passage.Bright lights, crowds, and choruses of cheers.Over a couple hundred guests were all standing around an octagon fighting ring. Each of them were raising their betting slips into the air, cheering for the two men wrestling in the ring on top of their lungs.The driver of the Santana handed off Skyler and Chris to another goon, who led them through the hall.Soon, they entered a room guarded by two bouncers, labeled authorized personnel only.It was quite spacious inside, with
