Josh had grown up in a family embroiled in power struggles; he did not have an abundance of kindness, hardened by the things he'd seen and heard from a young age.
From the self-serving and principle-less comments he made whenever he got into trouble, Qin Ruan knew he was an heir cultivated by those higher up. In front of anyone outside his family, he would always put interests first.

Tinged within this blackness was a faint Purple Energy.
