âYvie, shall I send you home?â
Just as Wilson let go of Yvetteâs hand, his keen senses detected someone closing in on him quickly.
His eyes narrowed.
wer.
Adamâs strike was quick, precise, and packed with incredible explosive This fist that came flying toward him wasnât 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 manâs arm.
âAdam!â Yvette cried out.
Hearing her call out her brotherâs name, Wilson immediately froze and pulled back. He greeted Adam politely, all traces of hostility erased.
âAdam, long time no see.â
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.
âWilson?â
The Murrays and the Quinns were on good terms with each other. Naturally, this meant that he and Wilson were acquainted, but they werenât 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 didnât recognize Wilson from the back.
As he recalled Wilsonâs age, Adamâs irritation increased. He just barely held himself back from pointing a finger directly in the other manâs face.
âWhat the heck do you think youâre doing, hugging my sister? Iâm warning you. Donât you dare make any moves on her or Iâll make you pay!â
Wilson raised an eyebrow. âAdam, seeing as you just returned to have heard that Yvie and I are engaged. I have every right to hubilife City, Iâm afraid you might not âWhat?â
my fiancée,â he said steadily.
Adam was shocked. He immediately turned to Yvette to verify Wilsonâs words.
âYvie, please tell me itâs not true. Heâs spouting nonsense, right?â
Yvette pursed her lips. âAdam, heâs telling the truth.â
Adam couldnât accept what he had heard.
âBreak off the engagement!â he demanded. âBreak it off immediately! I donât agree with this marriage!â
He had only just returned to Jubilife City. How could his darling sister have become someone elseâs fiancée while he had been away?
Wilsonâs face darkened at the mention of breaking off the engagement. off an inexplicable sense âAdam, Iâm afraid I canât agree with you on this,â he said.
Adam glared at him. âI donât care if you agree or not! Either way, Iâm not going to agree with this marriage! Youâre marrying my sister over my dead body, Wilson!â
212 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.
âDo you dare accept my challenge? If you lose, you have to break off your engagement to Yvie!â
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.
âWhat happens if I win, Adam?â
Adam snorted coldly. âIf you win, then I wonât interfere with your engagement anymore!â
Wilsonâs eyes narrowed. âAlright. Itâs a deal,â he agreed without hesitation.
Adamâs subordinates, having witnessed the entire scene, were excited to watch the sparks fly.
âOhoho, this is going to be fun to watch!â
âHaha, I know, right? Our captain is no pushover. There arenât many people throughout the entirety of Croedal who can go toeâtoâtoe with him!â
âThatâs right. Thisâll be entertainingâ¦â
Yvetteâs brow furrowed as she looked at the two men, neither of which was willing to back down.
âAdam, you two shouldnât fight-â
But she was gently cut off by Adam, âYvie, this is a matter between the two of us. You donât have to worry about it!â
Wilson reached out to stroke her head as well. His low voice was filled with affection.
âBe good, baby. You head home first. Iâll go look for you later.â
