Chapter 181: 182 Meeting the Scarlet Family(2)

Chapter 182 Meeting the Scarlet Family(2)

The Scarlet Family sat down before Leo and Eve shortly after they entered the room with Edwin being the only one standing, as he was a servant.

Sitting before Leo was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of sunglasses on his head that was covered in dark black hair. He had a naturally cold face, sharp, sword-like eyebrows, brown eyes, and a disgruntled expression on his face, giving off the feeling of a gangster.

"Leo Magnus, correct?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, that is correct."

"I am Xander Scarlet, and I came all the way here to receive an answer for one question."

He sat forward and glared at Leo like a lion staring at its prey.

"Leo Magnus, what is your relationship with my daughter, Lia Scarlet?"

'He's Lia's father?!' Leo cried inwardly after learning this information, as he looked nothing like Lia.

And instead of her father, he looked more like her bodyguard.

Leo could feel an invisible pressure bearing down on him at this moment.

After forcefully swallowing, Leo spoke, "My relationship with Lia Scarlet? I don't have any relationship with her. In fact, my first encounter with her was during the tournament."

Xander's body suddenly began trembling, and his face flushed with redness.

When she saw this, Eve prepared to defend Leo from any sudden attacks.

"You bastard…" Xander growled in a low voice.

"How dare you kiss my daughter when you have no relationship with her… Are you looking down on my Scarlet Family?!" Xander roared, causing the whole room to shake.

"Lord Xander, please tone down your anger." Eve said to him in a calm voice.

"Calm down?! This bastard, he—!"

"Please wait a moment." Leo suddenly interrupted with a frown on his face.

"I never kissed your daughter, Lia Scarlet."

"So you're calling me a liar now? The entire city has been talking about that incident since the tournament ended, or are you going to tell me that I had been hearing things?"

The invisible pressure on Leo became heavier.

"Edwin! Tell me what you saw!" Xanders spoke in a commanding voice.

"Yes! This humble servant witnessed this scoundrel taking advantage of the Young Lady during her confusion and defiled her lips with his dirty mouth!" Edwin said in a loud and clear voice.

Leo felt like punching Edwin in the face after hearing his exaggerated words.

"Fucking bullshit! It was Lia who initiated the kiss! She kissed me, not the other way around! Get your damn facts straight, you senile old man!"

Edwin's eyes flickered with killing intent after hearing Leo's words, and his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, which only happens when he's filled with anger.

'I didn't think I would find someone more obnoxious than that little brat Leon!' Edwin cursed inwardly.

"Edwin, is this true?" Xander suddenly asked him in an awfully calm voice.

Edwin swallowed nervously before speaking, "Yes, it is true that the Young Lady kissed him first, but that doesn't change the fact that they have kissed."

"..."

Xander turned silent.

'Just what does she see in this boy?' He wondered inwardly.

When he heard that Lia had kissed someone, he couldn't believe it at first, and when he tried to ask Lia why she kissed him, she replied with 'because I want him', which had greatly puzzled him.

After a long minute of silence, Xander looked at Leo and said, "Let's have a spar."

"What?" Leo couldn't believe his ears and turned to look at Eve, who also had a surprised look on her face.

"Are you seriously trying to fight a student, Lord Xander?" Eve asked him with a slight frown.

"Fight? I will not be fighting him. It's more of a test than anything. I want to see what he's capable of. Although I've heard rumors about his prowess, I want to confirm it myself."

Eve turned to look at Leo and asked him, "What do you think?"

"First I have to ask— what do I get out of this? Why should I spar with you?" Leo said.

Xander showed him a cold smile and spoke, "You can get two things out of this— my approval, or my disapproval."

"If you don't spar with me, I will consider you as an enemy of the Scarlet Family. When that happens… I don't need to explain to you what will happen to the enemies of my family, do I?" Xander glared at him with killing intent in his gaze, causing Leo's body to stiffen up from fear.

Xander's killing intent was so powerful that it surpassed the strongest monster he has fought, rivaling that of an S-Rank monster.

"I would appreciate it if you stop threatening my student in my presence, Lord Xander." Eve spoke, emitting her own pressure that countered Xander's pressure.

"Alright, I will spar with you." Leo suddenly said.

Xander nodded with a solemn expression, and he said, "Take us to your strongest training room."

Sometime later, Eve brought the Scarlet Family to the training room behind her living quarters.

"Master… There's no reason to test him. He should be eliminated as soon as possible before he corrupts the Young Lady any further." Edwin said to him while they prepared for the spar.

"Are you questioning my decision, Edwin?" Xander suddenly glared at him with a cold gaze, causing his body to tremble.

"This lowly servant has overstepped his boundaries, Master. I deserved to be punished."

"Open your eyes, Edwin. The purpose of this spar isn't to test his capabilities. It's to see how much of a threat he could be to our Scarlet Family if he decides to go against us. And since he appears to be in a good relationship with my daughter, we could potentially acquire his power for ourselves."

The Scarlet Family prioritizes power over everything else, so it made sense for Xander, the head of the family, to covet Leo's power.

"I am ready to spar." Leo said a few moments later.

"Good." Xander approached Leo and stopped a few meters away from him.

"Before we begin, let's lay down some ground rules." Xander said.

"Sure." He nodded.
