Some Punches

"Xander is a useless son!" He claimed. "There's only one thing he can do in the company, and that's to run it down!"

"Don't talk to me like that, woman!!" Mr Wallace demanded, and Xavier had to block his path more properly when he was about to attack his mother. 

Xander came out of his hiding spot and blocked his path also.
