"Don't ask questions you shouldn't be asking."
Magnus stuck his hands on his hips and said, "Cedric, you're the one asking me to protect Noelle. You better respect me. If not, I won't do it!"
Cedric's temples pulsed. He went forward and pressed Magnus onto the bed.
"I'm in pain. Cedric, you're murdering your own brother! I'll tell Anastasia you're beating me up!"
Cedric asked, "Who were you telling to be respectful?"
"I'm talking about you! You were the one who was begging me for something!"
Magnus felt like he could finally triumph over Cedric. He would take this opportunity to lord over him! Cedric dragged him out of bed and out of the bedroom.
While he walked, he said, "Let's talk this out in the gym."
Magnus laid on the floor and screamed, "Help me! Mom, save me! I'm dying, Cedric is trying to beat me up."
Upon seeing them, Emma turned and stared at the ceiling. "I forgot to put my mask on."
He was dragged into the gym. Shrieks began ringing out.
However, all the maids had gotten used to it, so no one cared. After a while, Magnus clapped a hand over his ass and limped out with a black eye.
Anastasia and Emma sat on the couch.
Magnus wailed, "Grandma, he beat me up!"
She eyed him and said, "Why are you beating him up? Don't do it again."
Cedric said slowly, "I was just checking whether his combat skills had gotten worse."
"You were just taking the opportunity to beat me up!"
Turning to Emma, Magnus said, "Mom, you saw what happened. Why didn't you stop him?"
"Your brother definitely did it for a reason."
He couldn't help and sigh. "It would be so great if you entered my team, wouldn't it?"
"Everyone has their own dreams."
Noelle's dream had been to get into Team Yole in her last life. Not only had she gotten in, she was team captain.
After a moment of hesitation, Michael asked, "I heard of what happened with the Liddells. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. They deserved what they got."
"They really did. You're growing bolder by the minute."
She turned around and saw a man and woman coming over. They were old acquaintances of hers.
It was Xenia and Blake. She hadn't expected him to be out this quickly.
Black said seriously, "Noelle, now that I'm back, I'm going to teach you a lesson."
