âLove?â Masonâs eyes narrowed slightly, and the hostility emanating from him became even more apparent.
âYeah, weâre interested in your sister, Daniel,â the guy next to Daniel joked, nudging him with his elbow and winking suggestively.
Daniel looked at Mason and said, âAre you Veronicaâs brother? Hi, my name is Daniel, and Iâ¦â
Daniel hadnât finished speaking when Mason interrupted angrily, âShe wonât date you, so you better give up on her.â
Daniel frowned, while his friend couldnât help but say, âHey, little brother, what do you mean by that? As a younger brother, do you still want to hinder your sister from datingâ¦?â
However, a âbangâ sound of a punch immediately silenced the voice.
The speaking boy no longer punched Mason to the ground, and there was a sound of exclamation around.
Upon seeing this, Daniel took a quick step forward and said to Mason, âHow could you just hit someone like that?â
Mason simply said with cold eyes, âBecause he said something!
didnât want to hear.â
âSo you canât hit people either!â
âHit me, so what?â
The boy who was knocked down by Mason is now groaning and holding his stomach, unable to stand up. This shows how powerful Masonâs punch was.
A group of men on Danielâs side were clearly angered by Masonâs attitude and immediately threw punches at him, causing chaos on the scene.
Daniel initially thought about intervening and trying to stop the fight. He considered that since he had more people on his side and his friends were skilled, he was afraid they might hurt Mason too badly.
However, it was unexpected that Mason alone was able to beat up Danielâs friends so badly that they couldnât fight back. In the end, even Daniel himself was knocked down by Mason.
When Masonâs fist landed on him, he realized that he had underestimated this younger student. The way he attacked was at a professional level.
Just as Masonâs fist was about to hit Daniel again, Veronica suddenly rushed over and stood directly in front of Daniel to block the blow.
Masonâs fist abruptly halted just before it was about to collide with Veronicaâs, and his dark eyes remained fixed on her.
Veronica gasped for breath and glared at Mason. âMason, please stop hitting him!â
Mason pursed his thin lips and asked, âAre you protecting him?â
His tone was calm, but there was an indescribable sense of danger in it.
The surroundings were quiet, except for the cries of the few people lying on the ground. No one dared to speak up.
Veronica said, âYou shouldnât hit people!â
The two of them locked eyes, and there was a tense feeling in the air. Suddenly, Mason lifted his hand and pulled Veronica towards the classroom door.
âHey, Mason, let go⦠let go!â Veronica shouted, but Mason didnât loosen his grip.
Veronica stumbled along with Mason out of the classroom.
It wasnât until the two of them were far away that someone finally spoke up in the classroom.
âWow, Mason seemed really angry just now!â
âIâve never seen Mason get mad at Veronica before!â
âDonât you think thereâs something strange between them? They donât seem like siblings at all. If you didnât know, youâd think Mason was her boyfriend!â
âDidnât they say that Veronicaâs family climbed up the ranks thanks to Mason and the Reed family? Who knows what theyâre really doing behind the scenes, pretending to be siblings.â
Some hurtful words kept coming out of peopleâs mouths.
