Marcus gave Cordelia a look, asking her to wait inside the room while he went to open the door.

“Didn’t hit them too hard?” Seth pulled him aside and whispered harshly, “You crushed their organs! They have to be sent to the hospital now!”

Marcus raised a brow but kept a straight face. They had been asking for it. How dare they tease Cordelia? It would not have been too much even if they had been beaten to death.

“What does his father have to do with me?”
