Silas laughed again, his tone changing. "If you truly loved someone, how could you use force and physical manipulation to keep her? I guarantee you that even if she stayed with you today, it wasn't out of her own free will."
That hit Michael right on his sorest spot. Unable to hold back, his fist flew out, striking Silas squarely in the face and forcing his head to the side.
Enraged by the blow, Silas fought back. Even with Soren and Killian trying their best to pull them apart, the two men engaged in an unrestrained brawl.
Soren and Killian stood by, completely dumbfounded. Friends for over a decade, and now they were tearing each other apart over a woman?!
It took quite some time before both men, entirely exhausted and covered in bruises, finally separated.
Having undergone intensive combat training, Michael had the clear upper hand, leaving Silas with far worse injuries: a blackened eye and deep bruising across his jaw.
