We had a moment of confusion, unsure of what was happening. However, Brian showed no surprise and instead looked at Panse with disgust.
During that moment of bewilderment, I recalled Count Andrew's words. He had mentioned that Brian wanted Xavier's blood to be used in the Forsaken serum to completely erase the memories of test subjects, turning them into mindless experiments. It was a similar concept to what had happened with the Gamma Potion and Y substance-controlled mutant werewolves.
As I pondered this, I glanced at Panse and then at Brian. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed movement behind Brian in the bushes, and Leah peered out briefly. In that instant, I understood everything.
I intentionally sneered loudly, "So, there are truly people selfish enough to abandon their own family for an impossible love? At your age, you still can't see through human nature! How pitiful!"
