“Damn,” Nina cursed.

She looked like a furious lion, ready to blow at any moment.

Ryan gently took her hand and said, “Easy, Nina. At least we know Scarlet’s safe. We’ll handle the rest, step by step.”

Nina glanced at Ryan, feeling her anger ebb away a little.

She took a deep breath and said calmly, “The serum doesn’t actually alter human genes.”

She had only concluded that based on the documents Scarlet left behind.

But honestly, she’d never actually tested it herself.

She had no clue what the serum really did.

Just from the materials she’d studied, there was no way to tell.

But since Iris was having issues, there must be something wrong with the serum, too.

Ryan was silent for a moment before saying, “Could this have something to do with ancient martial arts?”

Nina froze, asking, “You mean?”

Ryan said, “Nina, there’s something I never told you. Ever since you used the Soul-Stealing Thirteen Needles, I’ve felt an uncontrollable force inside me. We’ve always focused on human genes; maybe we need a different approach.”

“Energy?” Nina frowned, her brows knitting together.

Ryan blinked in surprise, asking, “Wait, you feel it, too?”

Nina nodded. “I’ve had this energy since childhood, but it was always dormant. After using the Soul-Stealing Thirteen Needles on you, it surged. Now it accelerates my healing. I suspect it’s linked to ancient martial arts.”

Ryan’s face grew grim. He said, “Looks like we’re in for another battle.”

Nina didn’t say anything. She just pulled over to the side of the road, parked, and turned to Ryan. “Ryan, let’s get married.”

Ryan stiffened. “Wait, what?”

“I said, let’s get married,” Nina said, totally serious. “Screw the serum, screw the Ancient Martial Clan. I’m done fighting it. Let’s just get married and have kids.”

Ryan got it right away. “Hell yeah. Let’s get married. I’ll quit my job, and as soon as your papers get here from Riverdale, we’ll go register.”

Nina smirked. “I’ve got my marriage papers on me.”

“Wait, what?” Ryan stared at her, stunned.

Nina flashed a mischievous grin. “Ever since I decided to get back together with you, I’ve kept my marriage papers with me, just in case I suddenly wanted to marry you. That way, we could o it right away.”

Ryan pulled Nina into his arms and kissed her deeply,

After a heated kiss, Ryan caught his breath and said, “Let’s head to my place, grab my papers, and get our marriage license

right now.”

Nina laughed softly and said, “Okay.”

About ten minutes later, Nina pulled up in front of the Foster family’s house.

She didn’t get out of the car.

Ryan went inside to grab his marriage papers.

Grace was doing Maria’s nails when Ryan burst in like a gust of wind.

Before they could even see who it was, he was already upstairs.

Grace blinked in surprise, asking, “Mom, did you just see something zip past us?”

“I only saw a shadow. I couldn’t make out anything else,” Maria said, just as puzzled.

She was sure someone had come in, but before she could even see who it was, they were gone.

Grace shook her head, thinking she must be seeing things. She was just about to go back to Maria’s nails when she saw another shadow drift past her.

She froze, her whole body trembling. She asked, “Mom, did you see that? Was that really a shadow? Am I seeing ghosts now?”

Maria shivered in fright. She said, “It’s a ghost. It’s really a ghost. Quick, call your dad and get a priest over here. We need to cleanse the house now.”

Grace didn’t even think about finishing Maria’s nails. She rushed off to call Zachary.

Ryan had no clue that his quick trip home had the whole family freaking out and calling in a priest to get rid of gh

Right now, he was grinning from ear to ear, heading to the marriage registry with Nina.

On the way to the registry office, Ryan called up the director to give them a heads-up.

When they got there, the staff handled everything for them on the spot.
