“Why are you here?” Nicholas snapped.

This was between him and Tristan, and he had an opportunity to kill Tristan today.

It would be no fun if Richard suddenly showed up and spoiled his fun.

“Boss, we were worried about you and decided to come here. Do you want us to take action now?” Richard asked carefully. This could be the ideal chance to get rid of Tristan.

Nicholas rolled his eyes. “No need. Find someone to give him a ride back to his hotel. We should leave now!”

It was only right for him to respect his opponent.

Spinning on his heel, he gave Tristan a serious look and said in a solemn tone, “I’m showing mercy today, Tristan. The next time we meet, we will still be rivals, and I won’t go easy on you.”

Sophie was his first crush, and no one could make him give up on her.

“It doesn’t matter whether or not you give up. Sophie doesn’t care about you at all. She loves me,” Tristan announced smugly.

Nicholas said nothing.

The scathing arrogance of Tristan’s words stung him deeply, and his anger began to flare. He felt helpless as he realized he was unable to do anything in the face of such an affront.

“Take him away. I don’t want to see him now. He’s annoying me,” Nicholas snapped impatiently.

I can’t meet Sophie in this state, so I’ll have to recuperate for a few days at home before attempting another visit.

Back at the hotel, Tristan bumped into Sophie unexpectedly. He had not anticipated that she would return so soon, and he was embarrassed to be seen in such a wretched state.

Never in Sophie’s wildest dreams did she expect to see Tristan badly wounded one day.

Worried, she inquired, “Where did you go? How did you get hurt? Who did this to you?” She was perplexed, as Tristan was skilled at defending himself.
