“Why would I lie to you?” Xavier draped his arm around Quinton’s shoulder and patted his chest with


    his other hand. “Don’t worry, bro. You are Ren’s brother, so you are also my brother. I only want the


    best for you!”


    “But you are Stefan’s friend, so how good can you be?” Quinton frowned and looked at the man’s arm


    in disgust, restraining the urge to cut it off. Years of bloody battles had made him wary of people and


    unfamiliar with intimate interactions.


    “No, no, no. I am no longer his brother. From now on, I will cut ties with that cold-blooded and heartless


    man!” Xavier crossed his arms, and smiled earnestly. “I am now your brother, so I will listen to


    everything you say. And I wasn’t joking earlier. If you want, I can bring you to the stic surgeon and


    let him see if your face can be reconstructed.”


    “Sure.” Quinton nodded, the defensiveness in his eyes fading slightly.


    They got into the car and started talking happily. Quinton even warmly invited Xavier to Carmine


    Pawnshop to have tea with him.


    Watching them from the backseat, Renee and Leia exchanged nces in confusion.


    “What is going on here? Why are they suddenly so close? Did I miss something?”

    “What’s so strange about it? Xavier is very sociable.”


    “But isn’t he too quick to defect to Quinton, knowing that my brother and his best friend are deadly


    rivals?”


    “You’re right… he’s acting weird. What’s he up to?”


    “There must be a conspiracy!”


    “Yeah, it must be!”


    Soon, they arrived at the Carmine Pawnshop.


    Quinton announced that he would personally cook for them, and Xavier acted like a loyal follower as he


    said, “Brother, I’ll go with you. Please teach me how to cook.”


    So, the two men talked in the kitchen again. They were like long-lost brothers, and their excitement was


    very peculiar.


    Renee and Leia sat on the sofa near the table with a bunch of fruits and snacks. The children were


    running around in the courtyard, casually ying with priceless antiques with a panicked Chase


    running after them.


    “Ah, please be careful with that, Master Adie. That is not an ordinary ser ball but one used by


    royalty in ancient times. It’s made of pure gold and ancient jade and is very very expensive, so please


    don’t break it!”


    “Ah, Miss Abby, p-please don’t touch this vase. It’s a high-quality product from an imperial kiln and Mr.


    Everheart’s favorite…”


    Leia, like the twins, felt like she had entered a foreign world and found everything very new. “Ren, look


    at this snuff bottle. I have seen it in a museum before. I remember that the price is estimated to be


    around fifteen million dors. How could you treat it like amon ornament? Isn’t it a bit wasteful?”
