Billy stood frozen at the cafeteria entrance. He had witnessed Rachel leaning down to kiss Leander.

In that instant, it felt as if his mind had completely stopped. He blanked out completely. He lingered there for a long time before suddenly turning around. His expression turned sharp and cold as he strode out of the cafeteria.

On the campus road of Ember University, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

“Jace, it’s me! For the underground fight we scheduled tomorrow night-I want to move it up. Let’s do it tonight. Anyone who doesn’t show up is a coward with no guts!”

After hanging up, the anger in his eyes still hadn’t faded as he sped off down the road.

Leander had no idea that Billy had witnessed Rachel kissing him. He was still wondering why that guy hadn’t come to bother him today.

But he welcomed the peace. After lunch, he went straight to the library. He knew that the cloth strip he had sent to the Gessinger family the night before must have already reached Homer.

If Homer insisted on targeting the Wood family, a battle between them would be inevitable. Once they clashed, his peaceful life in Highcrest would be completely shattered. Days like these. calm and simple, were numbered.

So he chose to enjoy this brief, quiet time, treating it as a final farewell to this place.

“Hey!”

He had just picked up a book by Freud and was about to sit down when a beautiful face appeared beside him again.

“You again?” Leander frowned slightly, truly at a loss with this stubborn girl. No matter where he went, she always managed to find him and show up at just the right moment.

“I told you, I’m yours now! No matter how you treat me, I’ll stay by your side!”

Rachel smiled sweetly, holding a romance novel as she sat down next to Leander, practically pressing against his

arm.

The spot they had chosen was originally quite secluded, with very few people around. Leander liked quiet places like this. But because of Rachel’s presence, many people had gathered nearby, pretending to read while secretly sneaking glances at the campus beauty.

“Ms. Haley, are you really planning to act so intimately in a place as sacred as the library?”

Seeing that she had no sense of restraint and was leaning even closer, Leander could only speak helplessly.

“What’s the big deal? We’re not bothering anyone!” Rachel rested her head lightly against his arm, looking cute and playful-completely different from her usual cold, goddess-like demeanor.

“But think you’re bothering me.” Leander raised his brows slightly, pretending to be angry, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he tried to scare, her

“Let it bother you, then. It’s not like you’d do anything to me anyway!”

To his surprise, Rachel showed no fear at all and leaned even closer.

Leander took a deep breath. Without another word, he grabbed her fair wrist and pulled her out of the library.

“Ms. Haley, I think…” Leander was about to speak when Rachel immediately cut him off.

“Call me Rachel!”

A sense of helplessness suddenly rose in Leander’s heart. He felt that after staying in Highcrest for so long and getting used to a quiet, ordinary life, he was now struggling to deal with even a young girl like her.

“Fine, Rachel.” His expression grew more serious as he continued, “Have you ever thought about this? Billy likes you, and he’s my good friend. I only got to know you because of him. Now you’re saying you like me-what about him? Don’t you think this would implicate our relationship?”

Rachel didn’t care about any of that. She replied just as seriously, “What do you mean?”

“From beginning to end, when did I ever say I had anything to do with Billy? Even if he likes me, that’s his business. I don’t like him-I like you! Just because you’re his friend, and I met you through him, does that mean I’m not allowed to like you?”

Leander was instantly left speechless. He knew he couldn’t convince her, so he decided to stop arguing and head back to the library to read in peace. But just then, his phone rang with a call from Billy.

“Hello, is this Leander? Here’s the thing-Billy is at the underground fighting arena on Bauer Street. I don’t know what’s gotten into him, but he’s already inside the octagon, fighting Jace one-on-one! I didn’t know who else to call, but I think only you can stop him. Please, come and save him!”

Leander answered the call, but the voice on the other end wasn’t Billy. It was Ava, sounding extremely anxious.

“Is Billy fighting Jace?”

Leander frowned slightly. He knew exactly what Billy was capable of. In a one-on-one fight against Jace, he was bound to lose.

“I got it. I’m heading over now!”

After hanging up, Leander was about to rush out of the school gates when Rachel grabbed onto his arm and refused to let go. Left with no choice, he didn’t bother arguing-he simply picked her up and sprinted off.

At the underground arena on Bauer Street, the place was already packed, filled with deafening cheers and screams from men and women alike.

Inside the octagon, Jace, dressed in athletic shorts, swept out a powerful kick. The man in front of him was sent

flying backward, crashing hard into the cage, his face covered in blood-it was Billy.

Billy was clearly exhausted and no match for Jace. But the burning anger ha his eyes kept him going as he forced himself back to his feet and charged forward again.

What met him was yet another heavy blow.

“Stop the fight! Stop it!”

Ava shouted desperately from the side, but no one intervened. Once inside the octagon, the fight could only end if one side surrendered or if the referee judged that a fighter could no longer continue.
