Chapter 142
Claire brushed her hair back with a trembling hand as she heard Riley accept the challenge.Her heart sank.She couldn't believe he had actually said yes.Jerry stared at Riley for a few seconds before a grin slowly spread across his face."I like your courage," he said with a chuckle. "But sadly... it's going to make you a cripple."The smile on his face grew even wider."Since you're this desperate, let's make it an official spar."Those words immediately caught everyone's attention. Even the students who had gathered nearby leaned in with curiosity.Riley frowned slightly."Official?" he asked. "What do you mean by official?"Jerry slipped both hands into his pockets."Actually," he began with a relaxed smile, "there's an underground tournament held every night."He glanced around before continuing."It's not legal, of course. People usually go there to place bets... or simply watch for entertainment. That's where I'd like to cripple you."Fred's expression instantly became more se

Jerry, Williams, and Cory all scoffed the moment they saw Riley.Riley didn't stop walking.With a calm expression on his face, he stepped closer until only a few feet separated him from Jerry.The atmosphere instantly became tense.Neither of them looked away.Jerry was still gripping Claire's wrist tightly.A smug smile spread across his face as his eyes wandered over Riley's body."I can see you've healed already," Jerry said with a scoff. "That was quicker than I expected."Before Riley could answer, Williams stepped forward with a mocking smile."Look," he said, pointing lazily at Riley, "I'll give you some advice. Just leave already. This has nothing to do with you."Riley's expression didn't change."It has everything to do with me," he replied calmly as he looked at Jerry's hand gripping Claire's wrist. "You're cornering my friend. Let her go right now."Jerry glanced at Claire before looking back at Riley.A cold laugh escaped his mouth."You really must need another beating.
Chapter 140
Monday morning arrived.Riley stood at the front gate of the school, looking up at the familiar campus. The bruises on his face had faded considerably over the past few days. "Riley!"A familiar voice called excitedly from behind him.He turned around just as Mira hurried over, her school bag bouncing against her shoulder."There you are!" she exclaimed before stopping in front of him. She frowned almost immediately. "How did you leave the hospital without telling anyone? And where did you even go? I came to visit you yesterday, and the nurse said you'd already been discharged."Riley scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile. "Sorry. I was discharged earlier than expected. I just went to visit one of my relatives. He was dying to see me."Mira let out a long sigh and folded her arms."You should have called me. You didn't even come work, and you didn't answer any messages. I was worried.""Sorry," Riley said sincerely. Mira looked him up and down before her expressio

Riley stared at Mr. Cain for several seconds before letting out a short laugh."You can't be serious."Mr. Cain looked at him calmly. "I am."Riley shook his head, still smiling. "Uncle, do you really mean it? Supernatural? That sounds like something from a movie.""I told you," Mr. Cain replied, meeting his gaze. "I'm not joking."Mr. Cain slowly reached for the necklace hanging around his neck.Riley watched curiously as he pulled it out from beneath his shirt.The moment he saw it clearly, the smile on his face disappeared. His eyes widened."I... know that necklace."Mr. Cain looked down at it before looking back at Riley."Of course you do."Riley stepped closer, unable to take his eyes off it.His father always wore it.He remembered seeing it around his father's neck ever since he was a child. No matter what clothes Mr. Boyd wore it.After his death, Mr Cain started wearing it.Mr. Cain then explained, "This necklace possesses a supernatural power. It has been passed down from

Riley looked at the two of them, his expression becoming serious."I'm not joking."The laughter gradually faded from Mr. Cain's face. He looked at Riley for a few moments before giving a slight nod."Very well. Recover first. Once you've fully recovered, I'll personally train you."Riley's eyes immediately lit up."Really?"Mr. Cain nodded. "Really."A huge smile spread across Riley's bruised face. Even though every muscle in his body ached, he couldn't hide his excitement."Thank you, Uncle! I promise I won't waste this opportunity."Mr. Cain smiled faintly before patting him lightly on the shoulder."I will come back to see you again. Focus on recovering."Riley nodded repeatedly, unable to contain his happiness.For the first time since losing to Jerry, hope filled his heart once again.He finally had a chance to become stronger.---Meanwhile...Inside Blade Enterprises in Winchester, a secret meeting was taking place.Only the COO, Mr. White, and several board members were prese

A dull, throbbing pain pulsed through Riley's head like a relentless hammer.Every beat of his heart sent another wave of agony across his skull, making it feel as though someone was squeezing his brain from every direction. He groaned softly, his fingers twitching against the bedsheet as he struggled to regain consciousness.His eyelids felt unbelievably heavy.He tried to force them open, but the bright light stung his eyes, making him shut them again almost immediately. A ringing sound echoed in his ears while everything around him remained blurry and distorted.Slowly... very slowly...Riley gathered the little strength he had left and opened his eyes again. This time, the blurry shapes gradually became clearer until he finally recognized the white ceiling above him.The familiar smell of disinfectant filled his nose.Hospital...He was lying on a hospital bed.The moment his eyes fully opened, several anxious faces immediately leaned toward him."Riley!""You're awake!""Oh my goo
