He took off one of his shoes and threw it at Garland. "You useless brat. What good are you?" Garland swiftly dodged the shoe, but it flew past him and headed straight for Juan. With a quick reflex, Juan caught the shoe in mid-air.

Garland cracked open a sunflower seed and chimed in, "You're abusiness tycoon. You can protect not NO just one person, but a hundred. I don't buy it. Dad, don't believe him. I don't want any mentors."
Bert scrutinized Juan from head to toe. "You're not just here to protect someone. You coverseas for a reason, Oking an identity within the Eaton family. What are you investigating?"
