Her brothers? He somehow understood what she meant. But that doesn't make him happy the more he look at them. And it seems the feeling is mutual since they weren't happy with him either. If one have a some sort of power in their eye, they can definitely see some intense soul fighting motion happening with thunderbolts and laser. One against ten. Although it seems unfair but none could predict who would win. For the results relies on the innocent lookig spectator who seem amused with their reaction. Not caring their annoyed face, she pulled Cole who's looking dark as they stand in the same space.
"They're my brothers. The one i see as my own family. The most important people in my life. They're the one whom i would risk my life and wouldn't mind losing my life to. And..."
"Okay. Let's stop you there. You'll be creating world war three if you continue. And you need to come with me." Ignoring the fact Aurora's hand is still being held by Cole, Caleb easily peel it off and wipe her hand using his handkerchief before dragging her away to the room.
"But..." She was about to protest when Zeus hold her other hand and together with Caleb they pull her away. No matter how she tried to stay rooted, nothing work due to the difference in their strength. She could only look back at Cole who wanted to come along but was stop by Derek. Until the door of the room closes, she never left her gaze on his and so does Cole. The moment the door closes, all hell break loose. It started with Derek throwing a punch but with Cole's quick reflex, he manage to dodge. Unfortunately, Tristan was waiting exactly at the place he try to run and manage to land few punches on him before he retaliates. Everywhere he try to avoid it was as if he was walking into their trap. There would always be someone waiting to throw some punches at him. And that include his brother. The scene if others see it, they will call it bullying. But Cole is not an easy opponent either. Whenever he retaliates, he will give them a heavy blow at the most critical place. In the end, the one who's still standing is Tristan, Harrison and Cole. Each unwilling to give up. Despite the black and blue covering every part of their body and face, they were unstoppable. It was only after all three of them start to pant hard and feeling tired, they finally stop and unceremoniously laid down on the floor. Each were panting hard and groaning in pain.
Tristan and Harrison were surprised seeing Cole knew how to throw punches. And it was lethal which they had to admit. He threw punches without holding back and as if he had numerous experience. No matter how they think, it really doesn't fit his naive, Mr. Nice Guy image. Just how did this person manage to defeat most of them. The only reason Tristan and Harrison are able to hold on because throwing punches is like their everyday kind of thing. It's their meal. No one can withstand the two of them. Now that Mr Nice Guy manage to hold on and better than them, what does that make them? It feels embarrassing to admit that Cole won. As Aurora's brother, they wanted to let Cole see that no one can bully their sister and be forgiven. Except that they regretted it. Aurora is going to be piss seeing their situation. Especially with all the black and blue on their face and body.
"Stupid bastard. Why would you retaliate? You should just accept your punishment for making our sister suffer." Harrison said grudgingly before hiss in pain as the corner of his lips feels tear.
Cole snorted. Who would want to stand still and take all the pain. He had to give back the same. Even if he's wrong. But it is between him and Aurora.
"Forget that. Who's going to explain what happen here to Aurora?" Tristan was wiping the blood that's trickling near his eyebrow. This person here really know how to injured a person.
"Do you think she can accept any explanation? Might as well tell the truth. With most of us fainted away due to this bastard here and us painted in black and blue what other excuses can you think of? Do you think she's a fool? The moment she got drag inside the room she already knew what would happen." Harrison spat.
"Nah. I don't think she's that nice. She knew we wanted to get even with this Mr Nice Guy and so she led him to our doorway." Tristan stated.
"Ah,,,why didn't i think of that. I knew she have a devil heart behind that innocent face on her." Harrison couldn't help but agree with Tristan. Knowing Aurora for so long, nothing seem is simple.
Cole who was the main topic listen as they were talking as if he's not there. One was calling him stupid bastard while the other mockingly called him Mr Nice Guy. He's too tired to fight back. If what they say is true, some sort of punishment for him he will gladly accept it. They know Aurora better and he's just a fool who falls for his wife after she left. If this is what it take to win her back and to have her back by his side, he wouldn't mind going for another round of 'bullying'.
