The roar rolled in from the front gates, deep and thunderous, hitting everyone like a wall of sound. It was even harsher than the heavy metal blasting inside the bar. People flinched, some clutching their ears as if the noise were drilling straight into their skulls.
“Tycen p>
A few folks finally caught on, their expression twisting in shock. The heir of that top– tier family— what the hell’s he doing here?
Everyone turned toward the entrance. A tall figure was striding in, shoulders squared, steps heavy and sure.
Tycen looked no older than twenty–two or twenty–three, dressed sharp in a high–collared shirt and polished crocodile leather shoes. His cropped hair stood up like bristles, giving him a fierce edge.
The moment his eyes swept across the room, the air shifted. There was a pressure in that gaze -so intense that anyone foolish enough to meet it head–on would feel their chest tighten, as if their will was being dragged away.
He wasn’t what people would call handsome. Still, the strength in his brows and how he carried himself gave off a raw commanding energy that was impossible to ignore.
He had come alone, yet somehow his presence hit harder than the entire Wave Alliance squad that had just stormed in. One man, and already the whole place felt like it belonged to him.
“Mr. Tycen?” Rodrick froze for half a beat, stunned by who he was seeing.
The hall had already gone stiff before Tycen showed up. Now, the silence grew heavier with him here–nobody dared speak.
If Rodrick was the rising star of Highcliffe’s younger generation, this man who had just walked in was something else entirely–the star among stars. Tycen, the scion of the O’Brien Family, was one of the top heirs of Highcliffe.
Tycen strode forward with a commanding presence and stopped beside Rodrick. The sight of Rodrick shrinking back made him scoff.
“Rodrick, you’re the head of Wave Alliance, and this is how far you’ve fallen?” Tycen’s voice cut through the air.
“Wave Alliance is being trampled underfoot, and all you can do is stand aside? When you invited me to join as your honorary president, where was that unshakable pride you were so proud to flaunt? Back then, you swore you’d make Wave Alliance known across the land. This p>

he jabbed a finger at Rodrick-“is what you call living up to your word p>
Tycen shoved Rodrick back, pulling him out of the way.

“Fine then. Let me see who’s so untouchable that even you won’t stand up to them. If you don’t have the guts, I’ll step in. I’m part of Wave Alliance too, and there’s no way in hell I’m sitting this out p>
With that, Tycen turned, locking eyes with Leander. Everyone felt the air crackle for a heartbeat–like sparks had burst into flames between them.
That evening, Tycen was supposed to hang out with Rodrick at a slow–beat bar near Maplebrook Axis. Rodrick had said he’d swing by for a bit.
However, after waiting and seeing no sign of him, Tycen became suspicious and decided to check it out himself. He never expected to catch Rodrick caving in to someone, which lit his fuse on the spot.
Wave Alliance wasn’t on par with the Highcliffe elites, but it was still one of the biggest youth circles around, not something anyone could ignore.
Tycen held the title of honorary president, which meant his reputation and the group’s interests were tied together.
So, when Rodrick caved in to Leander, it was basically the same as Wave Alliance failing to put him in his place. In other words, even Tycen had no way of dealing with Leander. For someone as image–conscious as Tycen, that was something he would never accept.
Nathan and his crew lost their grins. He and his friends thought things would settle down once Rodrick was out of the way. Instead, what showed up was an even bigger name–a heavyweight among Highcliffe’s younger generation.
Tycen wasn’t just anyone. Backed by a top–tier family, he was leagues above Rodrick and far more intimidating.
“Tycen?” Leander lifted his gaze, eyes leveled straight ahead. As a kid, he’d heard the name, but that was about it. No meetings, no dealings–just rumors that floated around.
“You’ve got guts. Even Rodrick wouldn’t lay a hand on you. Now I’m curious–who the hell are you?” Tycen asked. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ
Rodrick might have backed down against Leander, but to Tycen, that meant nothing.
Sure, Rodrick held sway over the Wave Alliance, and people on the outside liked to say he stood shoulder to shoulder with Tycen. However, that was just talk.
Rodrick came from a minor family. No matter how hard he pushed himself, the best he could

So, while Leander might’ve been enough to keep Rodrick in check, Tycen didn’t even blink at the thought.
The moment Tycen finished speaking, Leander let out a faint smile and parted his lips to reply –but the sound of movement at the doorway cut him off.
“Oh? Didn’t expect Maplebrook Axis to be this lively tonight p>
The voice was feminine and low, with a silky sweetness that slid into people’s bones.
Everyone turned their heads, and there she was—a woman in a slit dress, gliding forward with a slow sway in her hips.
The dress was a deep violet, the slit cut high–but not reckless. A pair of fitted bottoms beneath it kept things elegant, a sign she chased beauty without leaning into cheap allure.
Her face was radiant, and her features striking—so striking that even Aurora, the crown jewel of Highcliffe University’s campus belles, suddenly seemed dimmed by comparison. Tall and graceful, her figure shimmered under the lights, soft curves threaded with charm. Even Tycen, steady as usual, found his gaze lingering, surprise flickering in his eyes.
“Eira. What brings you here?” Tycen finally snapped out of it, stepping up with a smile breaking across his otherwise stern expression.
“Eira?” Aurora’s eyes sharpened.
“Could it be? Was this the one who ranked second among Highcliffe University’s campus belles, the Valence Family’s beloved daughter… Tycen’s fiancee, Eira p>
Around them, the others quickly put the pieces together, murmurs rising as they realized who the stunning woman in the dress really was.
For Tycen to treat her this way —a stunning beauty who goes by Eira – who else could she be but the Valence Family’s crown jewel? In all of Highcliffe, there isn’t another.
Eira’s eyes slid past Tycen with a faint nod–none of the warmth one might expect between fiances.
She drifted forward with graceful, measured steps until she stood before Leander. Her gaze carried a cool detachment laced with a spark of curiosity.
“Well, this is interesting. A stranger in Highcliffe, picking fights with the Wave Alliance and leaving Rodrick with his hands tied. You’re not a face I recognize, but something about you feels… oddly familiar. Tell me–have we met before p>

She looked delicate and almost fragile. Yet the moment she entered, her presence rivaled Tycen’s with ease. Every word she spoke carried an undercurrent of allure, making it impossible for the crowd to look away.
Now the two most prominent heirs of Highcliffe stood before Leander. However, his expression stayed calm, almost bored.
Then, his lips curved into a crooked, teasing smile.
“Fatty. Been a while, huh? Nine years, give or take. Still wearing those cartoon–print pants?” He drew out the last word, his tone heavy with a meaning only the two seemed to understand.
Eira’s eyes widened in shock, then narrowed sharply. There was a beat of silence.
Then, her voice erupted, sharp with shame and fury, and echoed through the hall. “So, it’s you -Leander? You b*stard p>
