Xavier strode up to Leia, grabbed her wrist, and said quietly, "What are you doing? There's a limit to making jokes, and don't you know what will happen if you make Stefan angry?"
Leia's gaze was muddled even as she turned to Xavier, but she only got more upset. "Everyone, see? This man is no angel too, forcing himself on students just like his best friend. In fact, he's worse—the student had ten babies with him. Pigs like him should be given the electric chair!"
With that, everyone's attention turned to Xavier in record time.
"Exactly how much did you drink, woman?! Get a grip!" Xavier could smell the pungent scent of alcohol from Leia's mouth, and had to clasp his hand over her mouth to stop her from saying anything else.
"Look! Mmph—the scumbag is trying to kill me! Oof!"
Leia struggled violently, but Xavier simply scooped her up in his arms. "Come with me. I can't let you run around like this."
"Hey, what are you doing?! Let me go! I need to expose him! I—" Leia protested but Xavier ignored her.
Xavier knew Stefan—Leia would suffer horribly if she kept this up, so this was the only way to save her. He carried Leia out of the bar, even as she kept flailing like a fish in his arms. However, she could not free herself, and was helplessly taken away…
With that, the rowdy mob screaming for Stefan's blood was leaderless, and no one made a sound.
"So you're admitting to abducting him! How much bad blood could there be between brothers?! But word of advice—don't kill him, or you'll have your comeuppance for being an ingrate!" Renee warned, pointing at his face. She wanted to stop Stefan from hurting Jovan for both their sakes—Jovan was basically his parent reincarnated, and how was it different from patricide if Stefan killed him?!
Stefan, however, was left frowning in confusion. "What are you talking about? What bad blood with what brother?"
"I know you never considered Jovan a brother, but you are his biological brother. I'm telling you not to hurt him if you want to avoid divine retribution!" Renee declared righteously.
"Jovan?" Stefan came to a realization and chuckled coolly. "So, you're actually talking about Jovan after all that?"
