“Yvie, shall I send you home?”

Just as Wilson let go of Yvette’s hand, his keen senses detected someone closing in on him quickly. His eyes narrowed.

Adam’s strike was quick, precise, and packed with incredible explosive This fist that came flying toward him wasn’t something the average person could dodge.

However, Wilson not only avoided it but was also quick to counterattack. He struck back, aiming to break the other man’s arm.

“Adam!” Yvette cried out.

Hearing her call out her brother’s name, Wilson immediately froze and pulled back. He greeted Adam politely, all traces of hostility erased.

“Adam, long time no see.”

Adam had also finally gotten a good look at the other man. Disbelief was written all over his handsome face, as it was the first time he had made such a blunder.

“Wilson?”

The Murrays and the Quinns were on good terms with each other. Naturally, this meant that he and Wilson were acquainted, but they weren’t particularly close.

He was also stationed at the base camp, carrying out missions all year round, and spent very little time in Jubilife City. Therefore, it made sense that he didn’t recognize Wilson from the back.

As he recalled Wilson’s age, Adam’s irritation increased. He just barely held himself back from pointing a finger directly in the other man’s face.

“What the heck do you think you’re doing, hugging my sister? I’m warning you. Don’t you dare make any moves on her or I’ll make you pay!”

Wilson raised an eyebrow. “Adam, seeing as you just returned to

“What?”

my fiancée,” he said steadily.

Adam was shocked. He immediately turned to Yvette to verify Wilson’s words.

“Yvie, please tell me it’s not true. He’s spouting nonsense, right?”

Yvette pursed her lips. “Adam, he’s telling the truth.”

Adam couldn’t accept what he had heard.

“Break off the engagement!” he demanded. “Break it off immediately! I don’t agree with this marriage!”

He had only just returned to Jubilife City. How could his darling sister have become someone else’s fiancée while he had been away?

Wilson’s face darkened at the mention of breaking off the engagement. off an inexplicable sense

“Adam, I’m afraid I can’t agree with you on this,” he said.

Adam glared at him. “I don’t care if you agree or not! Either way, I’m not going to agree with this marriage! You’re marrying my sister over my dead body, Wilson!”

Yvette was still so young, yet he dared to make a move on her?

Adam was seeing Wilson as more and more of an eyesore. He wanted nothing more than to give him a good beating.

“Do you dare accept my challenge? If you lose, you have to break off your engagement to Yvie!”

Adam was like an irritated, raging bull, whereas Wilson was unnervingly calm, at least on the surface. Sparks flew as they stared each other down, each with their own agenda.

“What happens if I win, Adam?”

Adam snorted coldly. “If you win, then I won’t interfere with your engagement anymore!”

Wilson’s eyes narrowed. “Alright. It’s a deal,” he agreed without hesitation.

Adam’s subordinates, having witnessed the entire scene, were excited to watch the sparks fly.

“Ohoho, this is going to be fun to watch!”

“Haha, I know, right? Our captain is no pushover. There aren’t many people throughout the entirety of Croedal who can go toe–to–toe with him!”

“That’s right. This’ll be entertaining…”

Yvette’s brow furrowed as she looked at the two men, neither of which was willing to back down. “Adam, you two shouldn’t fight-” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

But she was gently cut off by Adam, “Yvie, this is a matter between the two of us. You don’t have to worry about it!”

Wilson reached out to stroke her head as well. His low voice was filled with affection.

“Be good, baby. You head home first. I’ll go look for you later.”
