Conrad and Maxen stared at each other while Remo and Luke darted their eyes between them. The two raised their brows before looking at each other, and then back to Conrad and Maxen.

"Mhm…" Conrad rocked his head in understanding. "Your reasons might be valid to look for trouble yourself."

He then shifted his eyes to Luke, making the latter flinch slightly. "Your father will throw a huge fit if he sees those bruises on his son's beautiful face."

"Heh…" Luke let out an awkward smile, shrinking back slightly to hide.
