"Show me Dorothy's stats," Daniel said in his mind, maintaining a composed and icy demeanor.

Dorothy's status had nothing particularly special and was considered entirely unremarkable. The only aspect that caught Daniel's attention was, unsurprisingly, the part about her love feelings.
In Daniel's Harem section, it was noted that Dorothy had a love rating of 190 for him. But was this number high, average, or low? Daniel needed the system's explanation to comprehend this, and fortunately, the system was ready to clarify.
According to the system's love feelings scale:
0-10: Recognition
10-20: Friendship
20-40: Crush
40-60: Love
60-80: True love/can die for him/her
80-100: Extreme love/obsession
299-100: The highest possible love level/even protagonist halo can't make her hate you, and she will love you forever and do anything for you
300: She is like a robot who only listens to your orders
This categorization brought clarity to Daniel. It made sense, like when his sister fell in love with the protagonist. At that time, her love for him must have been between 90-99. If it were 100, her love wouldn't have diminished, even with the intervention of the world's will. Conversely, if it exceeded 100, and he rejected her, it would lead to a tragic outcome.
Another aspect that now made sense was Dorothy's love for him. Daniel was certain that Dorothy's love for him had been at 100 before last night. This explained why Dorothy didn't stray from him, as depicted in the novel. How had her love grown so rapidly in just a few hours? The answer was simple: Daniel had accepted her feelings, they had used the aura and the Hands of the Lust God, experienced unique pleasure through intimacy, and shared romantic moments in the morning. All these factors had propelled her love feelings to a whopping 190.
"Young master, we have arrived at the place you requested," the carriage driver's voice suddenly broke through, snapping Daniel out of his contemplation.
Using his divine senses, which could cover a distance of up to ten kilometers, Daniel scoured the area and located his sister's position. A sly smirk crept across his face as he sent two guardians to disrupt the protagonist and prevent his appearance in Eva's rescue.
Exiting the suspended carriage in the sky, he headed to the location where his sister had confronted the bandits.
However, upon reaching the area, he realized that it wasn't yet the right time to intervene. Employing wind control, he encased himself in a barrier, freezing the air around him and rendering himself invisible.
Experts of king-level and above possessed the ability to hide within the void by manipulating the laws of space. Unfortunately, Daniel didn't have that power at this point.
His attention shifted to the breathtakingly beautiful girl battling several bandits, all of whom were sword warriors.
Her long black hair danced in the wind, her black-brown eyes and exquisitely crafted face were like a gift from the heavens. Her skin was as fair and radiant as jade, and her height, towering at 172 cm, was tall for a woman. Her slender legs and shapely thighs exuded an irresistible allure.
Yet, her most prominent assets were her ample breasts, which defied concealment even beneath her royal white dress. Her well-formed and curvaceous posterior, despite her fifteen years, showcased her full maturity.
Even Daniel, shocked by his sister's beauty, couldn't help but swallow hard. His sister's beauty surpassed even Dorothy's. Moments ago, he had felt guilty about deepening his sister's love for him, but now all those concerns evaporated.
Although Daniel had seen his sister in Daniel Hudson's memories and in the Manhwa, seeing her in person was an entirely different experience.
As Daniel was enraptured by his sister's beauty, Eva found herself in dire straits.
To understand precisely what had occurred a few minutes earlier: ten bandits, all sword warriors, had intercepted Eva's carriage with the intent to rob it.
Eva had secretly ventured out to visit her friend, lacking a guardian's protection. Her own strength was merely at the entry level of a Magic Warrior and couldn't match ten sword warriors.
Initially, the bandits had planned for a simple robbery. However, upon witnessing Eva's exceptional beauty, their intentions took a darker turn.
"Hahaha, brothers, we're incredibly fortunate today to stumble upon such a unique beauty," the apparent leader among the bandits exclaimed gleefully.
"Haha, boss, who would have thought that we'd encounter such a beauty? Even if we don't find anything to steal, at least we can enjoy this beautiful girl," chimed in another bandit standing beside the first.
"Shut up! I'd rather blow myself up than let you lay a finger on me!" Eva's angry, frightened, and disgusted retort rang out.
"Hmph, you foolish girl, just accept your fate," the bandit leader sneered, utterly disregarding Eva's words as he made a move, injuring her grievously.
Bloodied and thrown against the carriage, tears welled up in Eva's eyes. She contemplated her fate, wondering if this was the end of her story. She hadn't even had a chance to confess her love to her brother.
If she had known that such a calamity awaited her, even with the foreknowledge that her brother would reject her, she would have confessed her love to him to avoid any regrets.
As the bandits leered at the defenseless beauty before them, Eva decided she would rather take her own life than allow anyone, even women, to touch her.
She was a proud girl, convinced that only her brother deserved her, and vice versa. In her eyes, heaven itself had orchestrated their existence as the perfect love couple.
But before she could carry out her desperate act, she heard a commanding and captivating male voice, one that quickened her pulse and set her eyes aglow.
"Who dares to harm my sister?" A strikingly handsome boy, with short black hair and golden eyes radiating a charm beyond description, appeared in the sky. His white robe shimmered, an aura of immense power and murderous intent enveloping him, causing all ten bandits to fall to their knees in an instant.
He resembled a deity, cast out from the heavens, descending upon the mortal realm.
"Brother..." Eva was both shocked and elated. She never expected her cold and distant brother, who had never shown much care for her, to come to her rescue.
As Daniel vanished from the sky and materialized before Eva, he disregarded the bandits and began inspecting his sister's injuries.
The cold, emotionless facade he typically wore briefly wavered, replaced by expressions of fear, concern, discomfort, and anger. Yet, these fleeting emotions soon reverted to his customary, impassive demeanor.
In that fleeting moment, Eva noticed her brother's genuine concern for her. It warmed her heart more than anything else, and she began to believe that her brother did care for her.
"Is my brother worried about me? He loves me! I knew it!" In this moment of peril, Eva's worries and fears vanished completely. Of course, she couldn't have been more mistaken. Daniel's expressions were nothing but a facade, meant to manipulate her emotions.
If he had truly cared, he could have intervened earlier and spared her from this suffering.
Daniel shifted his gaze from Eva to the bandits who were now begging for their lives. His voice dripped with disdain as he uttered words borrowed from Chinese novels he had read in his past life, where protagonists could easily win affection with such lines.
"Low and worthless creatures like you don't deserve to even look at my sister. Even if heaven itself conspired to harm her, I would defy the heavens." In this world, heaven referred to the realm where gods resided.
These words, meant to impress Eva and anyone else listening, had the desired effect. Eva's feelings for her brother surged instantly. For those observant enough, it was clear from the adoring glint in her eyes that she now regarded her brother with pride, happiness, and, as her blushing face revealed, perhaps a touch of infatuation.
"Aww, my brother is so handsome and cool!" Eva thought to herself.
However, Daniel paid little attention to Eva's newfound admiration. Instead, he raised his hand, summoning a colossal golden hand that stretched across the sky. The giant palm descended swiftly, crushing the bandits like insignificant insects, obliterating both their bodies and souls.
After dealing with the bandits, Daniel felt no particular remorse. After all, with the memories of Daniel Hudson, he had grown accustomed to the idea of taking lives. He then turned his attention back to Eva, who now gazed at him with a mixture of desire and love.
