" Oh my God!What have you done to yourself, Lucas? This is not good at all", Lilly wailed as she saw Lucas' terrible look. He was standing a few meters away from Lilly. His whole body was dripping with sweat. The shirt he put on was also soaked and torn in different dimensions. Traces of blood were found in his body, but there were no visible wounds.

She ran to hug him without minding his state. Lucas was startled by her act, but he quickly recovered to return the hug. They stayed in that state for some minutes before they separated.

" Why did you do this to yourself? I was worried about you because I knew you could hurt yourself. How did your clothes look like this" Lilly fired him plenty of questions at a time.

You are my master, yet you are cheating me", Lucas feigned being hurt by his master's actions.The smile on the brothers wiped off instantly and it was replaced with serious postures."
