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…

    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.

    With a canvas bag over his back, Skyler Woods exited Goldbell International Airport's terminal.He then turned on his phone, which abruptly rang."Luna," he greeted the other person as he answered."Have you arrived?"It was a woman's voice, melodious yet carrying a hint of coldness.Still, Skyler's lips curled upward as he knew that was how Luna always had been.In this world, she cared about him the most—barring that geezer."Yeah," Skyler replied."Well, when are you coming back?""What, you miss me already?""Fine. Stay there. Don't ever come back!" Luna's tone turned even colder."Oh, you know it…"Skyler shrugged, smiling in wry amusement. "I'm not calling the shots. It's the geezer who decides the details."In reality, he was simply afraid to give her the truth. Given her personality, she would go after the geezer's head if she knew the mission details.Luna was silent over the other end, and only spoke after a while, "Since you won't be able to use your phone, w

    "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
