Chapter 1002: Master Tam Injured

A tall figure wrapped her tightly in his arms from behind, stopping her from unleashing her powers. "Tina, don't hurt yourself."

Tina froze for a second, then quickly retracted her hand and grabbed the man in front of her. "Uncle, are you hurt?"

Jared was just about to respond when a loud "Ouch!" came from behind.

"You little brat! Now that you've got a man, have you forgotten about your master? I almost got an internal injury from that hellish thing, but you don't seem to care about me at all!"

Jimmy was the first to rush in. Seeing the scene in front of him, his chest tightened with jealousy, and his frustration almost blew the roof off. "Serena, how could you be so biased? Do our lives combined still mean less to you than his?"

The rest of the brothers followed closely. The sight of Serena clinging to Jared, so concerned about him, stabbed their already wounded hearts.

It wasn't just a stab-it was a deep, brutal slash.

Far worse than the physical injuries they'd just endured.

Their Serena-how could she fall for this man?

"Serena, my hand is injured. Come and take a look," Tristan teased, unable to resist.

Philip immediately chimed in, "What's there to look at? If anyone deserves attention, it's me! You call that a wound? I almost coughed up blood just now, but did you hear me complain?"

Damian sighed dramatically. "Serena, my heart's racing. Could this be... the end for me?"

The others turned to him. "...You win."

Dexter's face darkened. "Are you all seriously bickering? A minor barrier almost had you down, nearly getting Serena hurt in the process. And now you have the nerve to show off in front of her?"

Tina's eye twitched as she glanced at the group behind her, then turned her sharp gaze to Master Tam, who was watching the chaos with a smirk.

Her meaning was clear: if he hadn't brought this group here, she wouldn't believe it.

Master Tam laughed sheepishly. The man who had just been crying out in pain now stood perfectly straight, his face adorned with his usual ingratiating smile.

I brought them here to broaden their horizons! After all, we're all family. You can't hog all the credit and leave us out
