"Do you know? Lora is already my wife," Marcus retorted leisurely.
This sentence seemed like a heavy bomb exploding in the restaurant, leaving everyone bewildered and all eyes turned toward Lora!
Annie even gave Lora a thumbs up.
"Lora, I have never admired you before, but today I truly admire you!"
Annie even came up with a title for the forum post: "Just Be Dumped by a Scumbag, She Turned Around and Takes a Handsome Man Home!"
Lora gritted her teeth and turned to look at the fox.
The other person either looked up at the sky or down at their shoes, clearly avoiding eye contact with Lora.
As for Cole, his eyes were wide with shock!
He was furious, "Lora, is this guy telling the truth? Did you really marry him? Didn't we just break up yesterday?"
"I thought that when you were going through the rut with Silvia, we had no relationship anymore."
"Lora!!!"
"What? Do you want to fight me one-on-one?"
Cole felt a bit embarrassed, but upon hearing Lora's words, he instantly calmed down.
"Always talking about fighting one-on-one. A wild woman like you, Lora, is simply not suitable to be a wife! Only a weak and delicate pretty boy like him would marry you!"
Originally, Marcus was a bit apprehensive because before leaving, Lora had told him not to reveal their marital relationship.
But after hearing that monkey's words, Marcus couldn't hold back his anger.
Who did that guy think he was, being engaged to Lora?
As a result, when he heard the term "weak and delicate pretty boy", Marcus immediately became displeased.
He grinned dangerously, "Calling me a weak and delicate pretty boy? Fine, let's have a one-on-one fight."
In fact, Marcus was taller than Cole, but because of his fair skin and the visible blue veins on the back of his hand, he appeared somewhat slender.
Moreover, his features were too exquisite and beautiful, which subconsciously made people think that he was not as strong as Cole's.
Cole himself thought so too.
Lora remained silent.
She was now tough and could take on both Cole and Marcus.
She wanted to give them a good beating!
Especially the Ninth Prince.
Didn't they agree before leaving not to reveal their marital relationship?
What if they got divorced tomorrow?
Cole was one of the outstanding students in this year's freshmen class, and Annie and others felt that he was a handsome and talented young man who couldn't be beaten.
They all sympathized with the handsome young man.
"Cole, I used to think you were a gentleman, very outstanding. But now, you allow yourself to cheat and betray, yet you don't allow Lora to find another man?"
"That's right, you bully the weak. Why don't you let your new fiancée come out and compete with Lora?"
"I heard that his girlfriend's beast transformation level and spiritual power are only at the C level. Tsk tsk, she probably can't even pass the Imperial University entrance exam!"
"Oh, if Lora sneezes, won't his new girlfriend be blown away?"
Cole's face turned pale, then red, then black, and his clenched fists trembled!
He cared a lot about his reputation.
If he really fought with that pretty boy, he would definitely be looked down upon by his classmates even more!
Seeing Cole's hesitation, Marcus became impatient.
"Why are you dawdling, you monkey? Let's go, hurry up and go to the arena so I can beat you up. I still need to come back and continue eating with Lora while the food is still warm."
Cole was almost infuriated to death.
He sneered, "You're quite confident, huh?"
Marcus nodded, "Hmm, because I've never lost."
Cole: "..."
Being provoked, he had no way out.
If he retreated again, he would lose all his dignity.
Since that was the case, he would give this clueless pretty boy a good beating!
It would also let Lora know who the most outstanding man was!
Before making their way to the PK arena, Cole stood tall, proudly addressing Lora, "I am not fighting him for your sake, and rest assured, I'll show him mercy."
Lora shook her head, "You should be the one hoping he shows mercy to you."
Cole was taken aback.
Lora didn't explain further.
As the youngest and most outstanding commander in all of Alpha Star, Ninth Prince had no equals, not just against Cole but for the entire Alpha Star.
However, Lora wasn't sure if Ninth Prince, during his susceptible period, would exhibit any changes in his combat prowess compared to his usual self.
Furthermore, after the fight fueled by anger, she wasn't sure what Ninth Prince would feel when his rationality returned.
Perhaps, he never wanted anyone to mention what he had done today.
A group of people followed suit and headed to the mech PK arena at the military academy.
Lora and Cole were already famous among the first-year students, and with the presence of a handsome and charming "puppyish boyfriend", this PK match garnered significant attention.
Cole pointed to the side, "To avoid accusations of bullying, we'll use the training mechs provided by the training ground."
Marcus grew impatient, "Enough chatter!"
Cole remained silent.
The two of them ascended the stage, and Lora watched calmly from the side. She seemed confident in her "puppyish boyfriend"?
Annie approached with some concern, "Lora, aren't you afraid Cole will injure your beloved 'puppyish boyfriend'?"
"I'm not."
She was more concerned about Ninth Prince; she might let Cole off easily later.
Annie shook her head, "I never expected you, usually so tough on yourself, to be so tough on your man now. Oh, by the way, where did you find such a handsome, sweet, and doting 'puppyish boyfriend'?"
"What's the matter?"
"Help me find one too."
Lora looked at Annie's cat ear headband, shaking with each movement, a bit speechless. "Don't you already have a fiancé?"
"Having a fiancé and finding a 'puppyish boyfriend' don't conflict. Besides, my fiancé might be even more unreliable than your previous one. Lately, I've been thinking of making a change."
...
As they chatted, the PK arena suddenly fell silent.
Lora raised her head and found that only one mech was left on the stage.
Where was the other one?
The other training mech had been smashed into the wall and couldn't be pried loose, indicating the opponent's immense strength.
Marcus jumped down from the central mech on the stage and approached Lora, his eyes gleaming, "Lora, let's go back to the cafeteria for a meal. You must be starving!"
Lora nodded silently.
Well, Ninth Prince hadn't severely injured Cole, but the outcome didn't seem physically damaging, but it was likely quite humiliating. It might be enough to infuriate Cole.
The two of them left together, leaving behind Annie and others puzzled by how quickly the PK match had ended, and then filled with envy for Lora.
This puppyish boyfriend was incredibly devoted to Lora.
Cole's friends rushed forward to help him out of the deformed mech.
Seeing Cole with a bleeding nose and a dazed expression, his friend asked, "Cole, what just happened? How did that pretty boy pin you to the wall in the blink of an eye?"
Cole touched the blood on his nose and said, "If you don't have anything useful to say, then shut up!"
On the other hand, the one who had started it all followed Lora out of the PK training ground. He noticed that Lora was ignoring him, so he cautiously tugged at the hem of her clothing.
"Lora, what's wrong? Was my fighting posture not cool enough? Can you take care of me, please?"
