"I don't hire anyone uglier than me."
Yang Bo was joking. Although Xavier had yet to become the moral paragon he would be in the future, he still had the little desires of a young man.
But he really wasn't suited to Yang Bo's company.
His bleeding-heart tendencies were already beginning to show.
If he joined the company and started saying vampires could be saved too, Yang Bo would have to kill him. That would be a hassle.
Xavier reached up and touched his face, murmuring, "I think I'm probably better-looking than you."

Yang Bo raised an eyebrow. "Looks like I'll have to give you some plastic surgery."
Xavier immediately backed down. "My mistake. You're better-looking than me."

"Professor, you wouldn't want Erik to spend the rest of his life in pain, would you?"
Xavier looked at Yang Bo with a conflicted expression. For some reason, his fists were itching. He really wanted to punch
