Chapter 59: A Fight
Lucas was hesitant to accept Caden’s challenge. He knew his friend was good at fighting and maybe a better fighter than he was before. He couldn’t just risk losing the headquarters. But if he would reject him, it would also ruin his reputation, so he had no other choice but to accept it.
Lucas exhaled and took the knife from the floor. And looking at his sister’s fiance, he still couldn’t believe that the boy they knew twelve years ago was the same man who had tattoos all over his body.
Lucas wanted the best for Alira. He wished for her happiness, and only Caden could give that to her. So even though he was against Caden’s position as the Boss of the Forelli Clan, all he could do was support him for his sister’s sake.
Caden had a wide grin on his face. He unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, exposing his tattoos. Everyone could now clearly see all the markings on Caden’s body—the rose tattoo on his neck, the skull with wings tattoo on his chest, and the dragon tattoo on his arm.
"I accept your challenge. If you want me to make you bleed, then so be it." Lucas said.
Caden laughed. "Let’s start then."
As soon as Caden said those words, Lucas ran toward him and whirled the knife to his face. Caden wasn’t surprised, though. He was smiling, as if he was expecting Lucas’ attack.
Caden dodged and jumped backward. But Lucas didn’t stop striking him with the knife. However, Caden was faster than him.
Lucas tried to strike Caden on his arm, but the latter turned to the side, warding it off. Lucas was panting, but Caden was just grinning.
"Are you done?" Caden sneered.
Lucas gave him an icy glare, and once again, tried to cut Caden with the knife. But Lucas didn’t expect a counterattack.
Caden dodged again, but this time he straightened his legs, landing a swift, forceful kick on Lucas’s face.
