“Huh? Okay.”
Xavier quickly pulled over by a public park.
“Mr. Jeremy, are you unwell? Do you need a puke bag?” Xavier mistakenly thought that Jeremy wanted to puke.
“You look like you’ll be a good puke bag.” Jeremy glared at Xavier.
Speechless, Xavier felt unfairly treated. He looked pitiful.
“Wait here. I’ll take a stroll.” Jeremy left the car and disappeared into the park.
Night breezes swept past the wide and empty streets. He casually walked through the park along
He might have puked for real if he had stayed in the car for a while more.
Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks and frowned. “Who is that? Show yourself.”
“You’re a dog with those sharp ears.”
A crisp and mocking laugh pierced through the air. Jeremy slowly turned around and noticed a tall and hostile man not far away from him.
Axel Whitaker was dressed in black from head to toe. He wore a black face mask. The wind ruffled his short dark hair. He was like the prince of darkness.
“Who are you? Why are you following me around? Jeremy sounded calm and impassionate. His biceps were tense.
“Isn’t it clear that I want trouble?” Axel flashed an evil grin under the mask.
“Why?”
“You hurt someone important to me. She’s suffering because of you.”
Axel tilted his head and cracked his fingers. “It’s pretty hard to cheer her up. I guess she’ll only feel better if I make you suffer more than she does.”
Jeremy squinted hard to make out the man’s features. Somehow, he found the man’s appearance and voice familiar. But he couldn’t think of a name.
Axel inched closer to Jeremy in a terrifying way.
“And who might that be? How did I hurt her?” Jeremy forced himself to focus but remained calm.
“Hah, I was thinking of going easy on you if you had a bit of self¨Cawareness. I’m too merciful, it seems. A heartless bastard like you would never feel remorse. You wouldn’t know what’s karma if I don’t teach you a lesson.”
Almost immediately, Jeremy noticed the figure lurching at him at an incredible speed.
Axel threw out solid and swift punches with the determination to cripple the latter. Jeremy’s eyes deepened as he dodged two of Axel’s moves.
“Ho, you’re something,” Axel squinted his eyes and said mockingly. Eyes burning in anger, Jeremy took a few breaths to compose himself.
It had been years since he retired from active military duty. Although he kept up with his boxing training and workout sessions, it had been a while since he fought someone. He had to rely on his solid foundation and muscle memory to fight off the attacker.
After a few rounds, Jeremy picked up on the familiarity in the opponent’s moves. The moves reminded him of the close¨Cquarters combat lessons from the military academy he had attended.
“Who’s this mysterious man?” wondered Jeremy.
“Ouch-” Jeremy was kicked hard in the abdomen and yelped in pain in that moment of distraction. Despite stumbling backward, he quickly steadied himself and stood tall.
What a tough nut!
“Mr. Jeremy!” Xavier exclaimed and rushed up to hold Jeremy while panting. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Jeremy endured the pain and coughed softly.
“You motherfucker! How dare you attack Mr. Jeremy? I’ll kill you!” Xavier was blinded by rage. He barreled toward Axel without thinking.
“Xavier, come back!” It was too late for Jeremy to stop his secretary. Xavier would be digging his own grave with his weak combat skills.
“You’ve overestimated yourself.” Axel scoffed.
Xavier had been punched to the ground. He blacked out before he could lay a finger on Axel. Shocked, Jeremy glowered at the attacker. “I must have known you! Who exactly are you?”
Axel lifted a brow with a smirk. Of course they were familiar with each other. They attended the same military academy and were the top students of their time. However, they didn’t interact much outside the training.
“I thought you were curious about the important woman I mentioned. I don’t mind telling you.” Axel stepped over Xavier and inched closer to Jeremy with a malignant and mysterious smile.” She’s your ex¨Cwife.”
Jeremy’s eyes wavered as he curled his trembling fists.

She’s your ex¨Cwife.”
Jeremy’s eyes wavered as he curled his trembling fists.
“You’re asking for it!” Jeremy’s muscles were flexing under the gray, tailored suit.
The next second, he dashed toward Axel and started sparring with him vigorously.
Eyes darkening in alarm, Axel realized that Jeremy’s skills weren’t rusty after many years of retirement. He was even more amazed at Jeremy’s agile moves in a restrictive suit.
At that moment, Jeremy looked exactly like a cool villain from a gangster movie!
After ten rounds of fighting, Jeremy was losing his ground. As he was still intoxicated, it was a miracle that he hung on.
Finally, he lay on the ground limply and felt an explosive pain in his back after Axel defeated him.
“Son of a bitch. Meet your fate.” Just as Axel wanted to give Jeremy another kick to express his frustration, he heard a man’s voice.
“How dare you beat up my friend in Solana City, my territory? You goddamn madcap!”
Landon rushed up to shield Jeremy with furious eyes and knitted brows.
“Oh, look, here’s one more. How troublesome.” Axel narrowed his eyes and prepared to launch a move when he froze. In front of him was the dark abyss of the gun barrel.
Landon had gotten a gun out of nowhere and pointed it at Axel’s head. “Stay away from me, or I’ll blast your brains out!”
In reality, Landon was panicking on the inside. He had arrived at the scene when Jeremy and Axel were combating and concluded that he needed a weapon to take on Axel.
“Landy, don’t!” Each breath that Jeremy took sent a paralyzing shot of pain to his stomach.
