Benjamin didn't say how he felt after hearing it, though.

The light in Hector's eyes faded. "I don't know how you feel about Shannon now exactly, but regardless of what we used to be, it's my duty to remind you something as her brother."

His gentle expression carried a hint of harshness. "Just so you know, I won't hesitate to beat you up if you break her heart one day."

Whether it was the old or current Benjamin, Hector shared the same stance. He would never allow Shannon to endure any form of betrayal or pain in her relationship, even if the other party was the Dragon Vein.

From the start, Hector had spoken to him as Shannon's brother. Whatever he wanted to tell his best friend was left unsaid.
