But feeling the danger from him, they didn't make a move.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian, on the other hand, dropped a normal healing potion on the unconscious maid. Her rough breathing smoothened and her injuries began to heal.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Varian didn't care for her life. A lot of people died every day.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it happened in front of him and he got nothing to lose by stepping up, he helped her out.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, just you wait. Our brother is also coming with Mayor's son.\" The Xander young master who stepped on the maid spat.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian ignored them and sat on a sofa. Sarah and Sia didn't even glance at them from the beginning.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mayor took a deep breath and said. \"Aiden, Ethan, he is my guest and also a friend of my s…son. So, he's a friend of your brother's comrade. Let's not make this big, shall we?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The mayor had trouble even calling him a son.' Sarah thought and then her brows furrowed as she turned to the expressionless Sia. 'Will she ever forgive my father…more importantly, will my father ever forgive himself?'\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to Sarah, Varan's thoughts were in a different direction altogether. 'Mayor's son is friends with a Xander?'\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was having second thoughts about the whole thing.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as he had seen, Xanders was a group of corrupt, filthy, and arrogant bastards.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was about to get up, the young lady Vin, now dressed in cute pink clothes ran into the waiting hall.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's here! The military vehicle is here!\" She chirped with a beaming smile.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian groaned in frustration and sat back down. 'Fuck.'\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her words, the mayor also looked towards the entrance as did the Xander brothers.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, a military hovercar entered through the gates and reached the mansion's entrance in the blink of an eye.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xander brothers stood up instinctively as they waited for their older brother.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even glanced at Varian with a derisive look. \"Just you wait, once he's here, our brother will deal with you.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door of the vehicle slammed open and a man in military fatigues jumped out.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tak! Tak! Tak!\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sound of his uniform and powerful steps rang, the tall man entered the room.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother!\" The Xander twin brothers stepped forward with a smile and greeted him.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man gave them a light smile and nodded at the Mayor.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mayor smiled at him and opened his mouth but the Xander brothers beat him to it.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Joshua! This guy insulted our family! He also stopped us from punishing the maid! Teach him a lesson!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! I also want to see you fight for once! Brother, they praise you at home! Let us see your powers! Teach this arrogant bastard why he shouldn't provoke Xanders!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two fanned the flames and made Varian the sole culprit.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vin, who wanted to ask about her brother also closed her mouth seeing the tense situation.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait,\" the mayor stepped forward in an attempt to mediate the conflict.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could've stayed silent but after realizing Varian helped his daughter out of genuine kindness, he couldn't help himself.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You.\" Joshua Xander glanced at Varian who remained seated all this time.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was a single word, the air grew incomparably heavy. Despite being in the same rank as the mayor, he exuded a completely different feeling. A man who bathed in the sea blood.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? What about me?\" Varian asked back, crossing his legs.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! It's basic manners to at least stand-up.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think you're talking to? Give some respect.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xander brothers continued to fan the flames.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua stared at Varian intensely for a moment before noticing the unconscious maid who was now held by an older maid in the distance.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large tear in her uniform showed her bruised skin and the big red stain on her white dress told how much she bled.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to the two Xander brothers. \"What did she do?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xander brothers were confused while Varian raised a brow in surprise.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four broken ribs, bruised skin, damaged left lung.\" Joshua Xander said in a plain voice, but hearing his words, the Xander brothers felt uneasy for some reason. \"If there was no treatment, she'd have died.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's only natural for the crime she committed.\" One of the twins said.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was her crime? As far as I know, only treason has the punishment of instant death. Hm?\" Joshua took two steps forward and reached the Xander brothers.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's…\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She tore my shirt! When I bent down, she was carrying a fork in her hand.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, that is murder, right?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that guy stepped in middle. Maybe he's cooperating with her in the murder?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must be so.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two completely twisted the tale and even nodded with a fierce expression.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua turned towards Varian with a fierce expression and raised his hand.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian shook his head in exasperation.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This stupid fami—'\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, teach h—mff\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xander must not be insu—aghhh\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two young masters who were cheering in joy were suddenly silenced as a harsh slap caused them to crash to the ground and spit out blood.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?!\" Varian opened his mouth in surprise.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua looked at Varian and said with the same fierce expression. \"Thank you for doing the right thing.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh-yeah…\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my first time seeing these two. Looks like I need to discipline them well.\" Saying so, Joshua lifted the young masters one by one and slapped their faces.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-Broth-Stop! Pwease!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Sorry…\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't stop.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awww! It hurts!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really sworry!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't being merciful. They spat out all their teeth. Their cheeks swelled and turned red and purple.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bweg youff!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Staaph!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding them by their necks, he took them to the maid who just regained her consciousness.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kya!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two swollen purple faces, she screamed in fear.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after the older maid explained to her what happened did she calm down. Still, she looked at the military man with apprehension.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Sir?\" She called out in confusion.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologize,\" Joshua said in a deep tone.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!Yes! I'm terribly sorry!\" The maid knelt in fear and was about to slam her head against the ground.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could do it, two heads slammed themselves faster into the ground and yelled.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swwovy!\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heuk!\" The maid jumped in fright seeing the two young masters apologize. Instead of feeling relieved, her face paled and she shook her head violently.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No…don't, I don't dare…\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know what you're worried about.\" Joshua Xander said in an indifferent tone. If anything happens to you or your family, I'll hold these guys accountable.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-Bwother?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-wat?\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joshua looked at his two 'brothers' with a sharp gaze. \"You two don't know the value of life.\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched with surprised expressions.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most surprised was Varian's trio.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian was undoubtedly the most surprised.\",\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's adopted!
