Skyler stood tall and proud, his gaze toward Leander calm yet faintly condescending.

Ever since he was accepted into Wyvern Blade, his life had taken a dramatic leap forward. The corporate bigwigs who once looked down on him, along with influential government officials, now treated him with respect.

Even a state governor interacted with him as an equal and called him simply Skyler.

Being part of Wyvern Blade was his biggest source of confidence and backing.

“You want to give me a chance?” Leander raised his eyes slightly, his expression unreadable.

Skyler looked him straight in the eye, clearly full of confidence.

“I did some digging on you. You dropped out of high school, then suddenly moved into Rivergate Haven, Villa No. 1. All of that–because you’ve got ties to Frankie, the big name in Ravenridge, right? You’re one of his guys, doing his dirty work?”

He crossed his arms, a faint smirk playing on his lips.

“In Ravenridge, being close to Frankie does take some nerve. I’ll give you that. That’s probably why you walk around like you own the place. No wonder even Colin backed off and didn’t dare compete with you for Yvette. But do you really think that kind of clout will work on me, too?”

He shook his head slightly and chuckled.

“Colin’s afraid of you because of Frankie. But let me be clear: that so–called ‘top dog‘ of Ravenridge? To me, he’s just a street thug–not even a blip on my radar. Even if Frankie had ten times the guts, he still wouldn’t dare cross me. Protect you? Not a chance.”

He casually paced over to Leander’s side, his voice dropping to a calm warning.

“The reason I came here today is to make something crystal clear–stay away from Yvette. This is your final warning. If I ever consider you a real threat, I won’t be this polite.

“I’ve known Yvette since college. The moment I laid eyes on her, I knew she was the one I’d marry someday. No one else gets to touch her. Not Colin, and definitely not you.”

Leander scratched his chin, his expression turning oddly amused.

“You’ve got a thing for Yvette?”

Skyler didn’t hesitate.

“Of course. Didn’t I make that obvious enough?”

Leander let out a quiet laugh and shook his head.

You just talked a whole lot of nonsense. Was there a point to all that? If you like Yvette, then maybe you should be talking to her–not me.”

Hands in his pockets, he began to walk off casually.

“Yvette and I? We barely even know each other. You might call us friends now, maybe. So, what’s this talk about ‘leaving her alone‘?

“Who she dates is up to her. Whether or not she likes you, that’s your problem to solve. You showing up to throw your weight around? Totally pointless.”

With that, he reached the other side of the pedestrian bridge, ready to leave.

“Stop right there!”

Skyler suddenly barked, stepping forward in a flash. His movement was lightning fast— covering over 30 feet in a blink–to block Leander’s path.

“I didn’t say you could leave yet.”

Leander’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of annoyance flashing across his face.

“You should feel lucky I even bothered to talk to you. Try standing in my way again–you won’t like what happens next.”

Skyler heard the threat loud and clear, but just grinned like he didn’t care. He looked ready to teach Leander a lesson–until he remembered who he was now.

He had only recently been accepted into Wyvern Blade. If he caused trouble in public- especially by getting into it with a civilian–it could seriously mess up his future, maybe even get him kicked out of the organization.

With that in mind, he scoffed coldly.

“Leander, I didn’t come here to argue. I’ve said what I needed to say. I don’t care what your relationship with Yvette is, or how you feel about her. Just stay away from her. That’s your last warning.

“If you think having Frankie in your corner means you’re untouchable, think again. I’ll show you what it really means to be a top–tier elite.

“I’m a full member of Wyvern Blade. Before you decide to make me your enemy, you’d better find out what Wyvern Blade really is.”

With that, he turned and leapt off the bridge, dropping nearly 10 feet in a single bound, disappearing quickly into the street below.

Leander didn’t even look back. He kept walking, expression cool and indifferent.

To him, Skyler was nothing more than a loud–mouthed clown. Whatever his status, whoever was behind him–none of it mattered. Leander could crush him easily.

“Wyvern Blade?”

He muttered the name softly, then scoffed. Not impressed.

Just then, his phone buzzed. It was a call from Frankie.

“What is it?”

Frankie’s voice came through, low and serious. “Mr. Leander, some people just showed up at headquarters. They’re asking for you by name.”

Leander answered coldly, “If they’re not important, just send them away.”

Very few people actually knew that he was the chairman of Jeff Enterprises–and those who did usually had his direct contact information. If someone went all the way to the company’s headquarters just to find him, they were likely from the martial world and well–connected.

But Leander had never been close to that circle, and no matter how serious their business might be, he rarely cared to get involved.

Frankie paused for a moment, then replied seriously, “If it were anyone else, I’d have turned them away. But this time… they’re from the government. And they insist on meeting you.”

“The government?” Leander’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.

He’d never had much to do with government people. Why would they suddenly want to meet him?

He quickly replied, his tone cool, “If they’re asking for Jeff Enterprises‘ chairman, you can meet them as acting chairman.”

However, Frankie replied firmly, “They’re not here for the chairman. They’re asking specifically for Jeff Ashcroft.”

“Oh?” This time, Leander’s expression finally shifted.

The fact that the authorities specifically asked to see Jeff Ashcroft made it clear–they weren’t there for the chairman of Jeff Enterprises. They were there because of his identity in the

What he couldn’t figure out was why they were looking for him now.

Inside a secure conference room at the Jeff Enterprises headquarters, three people were seated. One of them–a middle–aged man in a green military uniform–wore insignia on his shoulders that clearly marked him as a senior officer. He had a square–shaped face, sharp features, and carried himself with unmistakable authority.

The other man looked to be in his early fifties, dressed in a sharp business suit with gold- rimmed glasses—the picture of a high–level government official. Despite his calm demeanor, there was a subtle intensity in the way he carried himself, the kind that came from holding real power for a long time.

Behind the two men stood six stern–faced bodyguards, each one radiating a cold, disciplined aura–clearly elite security personnel.

Meanwhile, Frankie—the notorious figure from Ravenridge and acting chairman of Jeff Enterprises–sat to the side, forcing a polite smile as he poured coffee again and again, clearly uneasy in his seat.

After five tense minutes, the door opened. Leander walked in.

He gave the two visitors a quick glance, then calmly sat down across from them. At the same time, the two men turned their attention to him, studying him closely.

The man in the military uniform remained expressionless and silent, while the other–dressed like a government official–suddenly offered Leander a friendly smile.

“You must be Mr. Ashcroft–the young martial prodigy everyone’s been talking about in Astria lately. Ranked number one on the Power Index, if I’m not mistaken?”

Leander stayed relaxed, replying casually, “That’s me. So, what brings you both here?”

The man had originally intended to shake Leander’s hand, but seeing that Leander had no intention of standing, he let it go with a slight pause.

Adjusting his gold–rimmed glasses, his tone shifted to something more formal.

“Mr. Ashcroft, we’re here to ask for your help. After internal discussions and multiple rounds of approval, we’ve decided to extend a special invitation for you to join Wyvern Blade—as its

Chief Instructor.”

“Wyvern Blade?” Leander’s expression shifted slightly, a strange look crossing his face. Wasn’t that the same Wyvern Blade Skyler had just mentioned earlier?
