“What did you say? You made it into Wyvern Blade?” Colin’s expression shifted again and again, disbelief filling his face.
Three years ago, he and Skyler had merely been two college students competing for attention, constantly butting heads, their rivalry centered entirely around romance rather than ambition.
Back then, in their eyes, love mattered far more than any career. Each had seen the other as a lifelong nemesis, locked in constant competition.
But three years had passed. Colin had since used his father Jasper’s influence to launch his own ventures, amassing tens of millions in personal wealth and becoming the undisputed leader among Ravenridge’s top ten outstanding young men.
He had believed his accomplishments had long since eclipsed those of his old rival. Yet with just one sentence–Skyler’s casual declaration that he had been accepted into Wyvern Blade- everything Colin had built in his mind shattered.
That was Wyvern Blade–Astria’s most elite special forces unit!
Skyler stood casually with one hand in his pocket, patting his chest before pulling out a badge. It depicted a fiery blue dagger encircled by five shimmering red stars, with a golden dragon coiling around the dagger, vivid and lifelike in exquisite detail.
Colin’s gaze froze on the badge, his heart shaking once again. He had never seen a Wyvern Blade badge before, but it didn’t matter–he could tell at a glance this one was real. He drew in a sharp breath as a heavy sense of defeat surged through him.
Not long ago at Hawksridge Summit, Leander had torn apart all his pride with one breathtaking battle, and now Skyler’s badge was stomping on whatever was left.
He had thought that even if he couldn’t match someone like Leander, he still stood at the top compared to the people around him. But he hadn’t imagined that this old rival, who had once competed with him on equal footing, was now standing far above him as a member of Wyvern Blade.
“You came here just to laugh at me, didn’t you?” Colin’s eyes darkened, and his voice turned cold.
“Of course not.” Skyler smiled faintly and carefully tucked the badge away. “You’re not even worth comparing myself to anymore. I came here just to say hello. But from now on, if you still want to compete with me for Yvette, you’d better think twice p>
His tone carried a note of disdain. From the moment he had been accepted into Wyvern Blade, none of his peers mattered to him anymore. Even Colin, his former rival, was now beneath him–no longer qualified to contend with him. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ͟.net

“Compete with you for Yvette?” Colin’s gaze sharpened as he thought of that man who held the power of life and death, and a chill ran through him.
Seeing the confident and domineering gleam in Skyler’s eyes, Colin’s mind spun. He asked calmly. “So this is why you came back? To pursue Yvette p>
“Of course!” Skyler nodded proudly. “From the moment I first saw her three years ago, she’s been the dream of my life. I thought you would’ve won her heart in these past three years while I was gone, but since you failed to seize the chance, I won’t hesitate anymore. Now, I have everything it takes to give her happiness and a future p>
Hearing that, Colin chuckled coldly inside, a faint smirk curling at the corner of his lips as he said disdainfully, “You think you can pursue Yvette? That’s wishful thinking! She already has someone she loves–someone who she’ll never leave. Do you really think you can change that p>
Skyler remained completely unfazed, arrogance radiating from every inch of him. “Love? Indispensable? That’s all bullsh*t! In this world, only the strong deserve to possess women, wealth, and power. Strength is everything.
“The only reason that guy seems indispensable is because she hasn’t yet met a man powerful enough to truly move her heart p>
With that, he turned and climbed back into his Jeep, his voice cold and full of conviction. “No matter who she’s in love with, I’m fully confident I can win her back—even if that person is you p>
Skyler’s voice faded into the distance as his Jeep disappeared from the villa gates, leaving Colin standing alone on the lawn, shadows clouding his gaze.
After a long while, he let out a scornful laugh, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes. “Skyler, Skyler… Do you really know why I lost?
“You think that just because you joined Wyvern Blade, you can now look down on everyone and claim victory? If you’re so eager to overestimate yourself and court humiliation, then go right ahead p>
Ever since witnessing Leander’s astonishing battle at Hawksridge Summit, where he single- handedly crushed two legendary fighters, Colin’s interest in the martial world had grown immensely. He had secretly investigated, wanting to understand what kind of status and strength Leander commanded within that world.
In the end, he’d found his answer–but what he learned had left him utterly hopeless. From that moment on, he completely gave up any thought of competing with Leander and abandoned any lingering hopes regarding Yvette.

“That’s Astria’s number one on the ranking of the strong–the Iron Sovereign himself, Jeff Ashcroft!” he murmured softly, almost expectantly.
The idea of Skyler and Leander clashing thrilled him now–some people had to fall from the clouds to truly understand just how vast the sky could be.
“Oh? Skyler’s back p>
Inside a Starbucks, Yvette sat across from Ginny, surprise flickering across her face.
“Yeah,” Ginny nodded. “Last night, I happened to pass through Parkway Plaza and saw him shopping. At first, I thought I must’ve been mistaken, but then he came right up and greeted me–and even asked for your phone number p>
“He asked for my number?” Yvette frowned immediately upon hearing this.
Ginny covered her mouth and giggled. “See, Yvette? This is what happens when you’re so amazing–now your romantic debts are coming due p>
Yvette didn’t argue, just gave Ginny a look.
She had known Colin since they were kids, but Skyler was someone she had met by chance at a social gathering. Ever since that encounter, Skyler and Colin had become rivals, constantly competing and bickering over her.
Though she never spoke of it, she understood everything clearly. Three years ago, Skyler had suddenly left Ravenridge without a word and never reappeared, so she had stopped thinking about him. But now he had returned and was asking for her contact info… it left her feeling at a loss.
Ginny could see what Yvette was worrying about and smiled reassuringly. “Come on, Yvette. He probably just wants to catch up after being away so long. Don’t overthink it. Besides, even if he did have some other intentions, so what? You can just be clear with him, right p>
Yvette nodded seriously. No matter what Skyler might want, her heart belonged to only one person–Leander Ashcroft–and there was no more room for anyone else.
But what neither of them knew was that, at that very moment, on a pedestrian bridge in Ravenridge, two figures were already standing face to face.
Leander, dressed casually, stood there with an indifferent air. In front of him, Skyler, clad in his leather jacket, gazed at Leander intently, sizing him up from head to toe.
“So, you’re Leander Ashcroft?” Skyler’s lips curled into a sneer.

Leander slipped one hand casually into his pocket, his expression calm. “And who are you? Do I know you? Got some business with me p>
A sharp gleam flashed in Skyler’s eyes as he spoke, his tone cold and imposing. “You’ll know who I am soon enough! I came looking for you today to give you an opportunity–an opportunity to walk away from Yvette Sitwell p>
