2.35% The Bloodline System / Chapter 38: Breaking Off Inexistent Bonds

Chapter 38: Breaking Off Inexistent Bonds

Gustav headed to the nearest bus station and traveled back to his parents' house.

As expected it only took about five minutes before he got to the stop closest to his parents home.

Gustav walked through the thirty-fourth street headed for the residential area.

In a few minutes, he arrived at a house that was seventh on the line up of houses in this area.

The difference between this street and the new one his apartment was located in was, this place was constructed better even though only bungalow-type houses could be seen. It was obvious that this part of the city was more on the urban side.

Gustav wasted no time, walking towards the house. He looked at the surroundings and noticed that his mother's car wasn't parked in front which meant she wasn't home yet.

Gustav who knew where the key was placed went to get it.

He opened the doors and went in straight to the room he spent ten years holed up in.

He wasted no time picking up his clothes from the closet placed behind his tub.

He brought out a storage device that was a bit similar to the one he took from Hung Jo.

A button type. He had gotten rid of Hung Jo's storage device a long time ago. He didn't want anyone tracing it to him.

Gustav put the clothes into the storage device after activating it.

He turned around to leave the room but paused to when he got to the door.

He turned back around and observed the room.

He walked back towards the tub he had been sleeping in for years and placed his hand on it.

He rubbed the edge slightly, "I won't miss you,"

He turned around after muttering those words and walked out of the room.

Gustav walked through the small passageway and was headed towards the door when he sensed something.

Kom! Kom!

He could hear the sounds of footsteps coming from outside.

"Looks like they've arrived," Gustav muttered as the door was pushed open.

Two people walked in.

They were none other than Gustav's mother and his junior brother, Endric.

They stared at Gustav who was just coming from the passageway on the other end for a moment before heading towards the couch to sit.

They ignored Gustav who kept walking towards the door.

"This trash! You know your brother hasn't been coming back home on time and you never even showed any concern!" Gustav's mother shouted out with a twisted look.

"Mother, why do you bother initiating a conversation with him?" Endric crossed his legs with swag as he spoke in a cool voice.

Gustav had paused his steps after hearing them speak.

"The trash has to be useful for something at least... let him show concern!" Gustav's mother voiced out once again.

"Hey useless, my only son has received a scholarship to attend MBO academy for young mixed-bloods and is now getting personal training from an Echo ranked mixed-blood!" Gustav's mother added with a prideful glare.

'Oh is that why they've been coming late all this time?' Gustav put two and two together.

"You should come and congratulate him! Be good for one thing even though we all know you're useless!" Gustav's mom kept flapping her gums without stop as she praised Endric.

Gustav was standing a few feet away from them. He stood there for several seconds with a dark look on his face before finally saying something.

"Good for him,"

Gustav resumed walking towards the door.

He passed behind where they were seated on the couch.

A smile hung on his face as he spoke again, "Congratulations,"

The look on Gustav's face when he congratulated Endric was that of unconcern. The smile had a kind of ridiculing element in it.

Step! Step! Step! Step!

Gustav resumed walking forward after saying that.

"Hey, you should be on your knees when telling me that!" Endric stated with a disgusted expression.

He felt disgusted by the fact that Gustav didn't have the same jealous look he used to whenever he stared at him. That look of reverence was no longer there.

Gustav didn't stop walking, he behaved like he didn't hear a word of what Endric just demanded.

"Hey, trash did you hear me! Kneel and congratulate me!" Endric looked pissed as he stood up to stare at Gustav who was still headed towards the door.

"Make me," Gustav muttered silently as he turned his head around to stare at Endric.

Gaze!

Endric flinched back a little seeing the cold look on Gustav's face. He never thought a day would come when Gustav would stare at him like that. The gaze made a chill run down his spine, 'Why does he look so fierce all of a sudden!' Endric couldn't wrap his head around the sudden change.

Gustav turned back to face the door as he arrived before it and stretched out his hand to open it.

All of a sudden a strange force descended upon Gustav causing him to pause in his movements.

"I said kneel!" Endric shouted out again.

He seemed to have regained his spine. He was cursing himself internally for getting scared of Gustav.

'How can I be afraid of trash!' Endric right hand was outstretched towards Gustav's direction.

Gustav felt the same strange force wrapping around his shoulders and forcibly pushing him downwards.

He recognized this power, It was Endric's.

Gustav's knees bent slightly due to the sudden force but in a second he straightened himself back up, using his shoulders to push the invisible force upwards.

Endric was surprised to see that Gustav wasn't falling to his knees as he had expected.

'What is happening? Isn't Endric using his powers now? How is Gustav still standing?' Their mother could see Endric stretching out his hand which meant he was using his powers but she didn't understand why she was still seeing the same casual look on Gustav's face like he was unaffected.

'How is he able to resist my telekinesis?' Endric started walking towards Gustav as he increased the output of his telekinesis.

Gustav felt the force pressing onto his shoulder increase. The floor below was starting to creak due to the increase in weight.

'This should be around a thousand kilograms of force...' Gustav Calculated as he turned around and started walking towards Endric.

If this was Gustav's old self, that amount of force bearing down on his shoulders would crush him.

Step! Step! Step! Step!

With every step Gustav took, the shock on Endric's and their mother's faces increased.

'How?' Endric channeled his bloodline even more increasing the force beyond what it was earlier.

Gustav paused for an instant while looking down as his face turned dark. He raised his right foot and placed it in front of his left before doing the same for his left.

"I have tolerated your excesses as my little brother for a long time!" Gustav spoke with an aggrieved tone.

"Left you to do as you pleased with me since I was unable to fight back!"

"I was a pathetic big brother wasn't I?"

"Well, that ends today!" He voiced out as he arrived in front of Endric who still had his arm outstretched.

"As your senior brother, I shall give you what you rightfully deserve when you disrespect an older person!" Gustav added as he stared at Endric in the eyes.

Endric had his widened from shock but before he could open his mouth to speak he noticed Gustav's palm swinging towards his left cheek.

It was way too fast for him to follow and before he could react to the speed, contact was made.

Pah!

A loud slap resounded in the sitting room as Endric was sent flying towards the far end of the living room.

Bang!

His back slammed into the wall on the other end as his mouth hung open with his back arched in.

His body stayed in that position for a while as his face showed pain and confusion before his body slid towards the floor.

"Since you want these useless parents so bad, you can have them for yourself!" Gustav voiced out as he turned around.

His mother was still seated on the sofa with her mouth wide open. It was as if a movie was playing out before her.

'He is able to resist Endric's telekinesis? Where did he get the strength to perform such feats?'

Her mind couldn't comprehend what had just happened. She felt she had seen the most unbelievable thing just happen in front of her.

'How is this possible? Isn't this the same trash I gave birth to?' She couldn't react properly to the incident and she kept staring at Gustav, wondering if he was another person in disguise.

Gustav started walking towards the door once again, "As from today onwards, we are not family! If ever cross paths in the future, I will treat you people as I treat everyone else!" Gustav said as he got to the door.

"We share no tie or relationship and it will remain that way!"

Chapter 39: Neighborhood Disturbance

Endric knelt on the floor with an expression of pain written all over his face. His vision was blurry and he could smell a metallic liquid running down his nostrils as he stared at the back of a person getting further and further away in his line of sight.

'H-ow... whe-re did he ge-t su-ch in-sane stren-gth fro-m,' Endric felt drowsy from receiving a slap from Gustav.

He could see about three Gustav's walking towards the door while issuing a warning that he couldn't hear properly due to the ringing in his left ear caused by the stinging slap.

Gustav opened the door walked out after voicing out his earlier words.

His mother was still seated for many seconds before she remembered that her beloved son was still laying on the floor at the other end of the living room.

She quickly stood up and ran to Endric.

She had tears in her eyes as she saw Endric kneeling on the floor with blood oozing out of his nose and his left eye swollen.

"Oh, End-ric ar-e you.." She squatted and tried helping him up but Endric pushed her away and forcibly stood up.

"Don't touch me!" He had a look of humiliation on his face as he walked towards his room.

Their mother who fell on her butt after Endric pushed her away gritted her teeth with a crazed expression. She couldn't wrap her head around what just happened even after some time had passed.

"That trash dares to touch my precious boy..." She muttered with a look of craziness.

--

In a few minutes, Gustav had gotten back to his newly rented apartment.

He stood inside his apartment with a smile on his face.

He didn't feel choked or uncomfortable in this new environment in any way. When he was staying with his parents he was always in the room he was given, but even with that, the environment was choking. Even when he hardly saw the family he stayed with and yet the environment was still very inconvenient for him.

But now, that was no longer the case. He felt he would finally be able to create nice memories in a place he could truly call home.

Gustav walked into his room and changed into pajamas after placing his clothes in his new closet.

He calculated his expenses for the day and noted that he had around one hundred and fifty thousand rad left.

It was an amount that could last him an entire year but after listening to miss Aimee's speech in the dojo the other day, Gustav had decided to accumulate wealth before joining the MBO since it might be needed.

The only problem was how to go about it.

The goal he had in mind for the week now was to make extensive research on the best way to use his abilities to make some cash.

He could do things his parents couldn't do since both of them never surpassed the Zulu rank and he believed that with his current strength he should be among the strongest Zulu ranked in the city right now.

It was getting late but Gustav wasn't in the mood to sleep yet, he walked towards the living room and went to his reading table.

Gustav sat on the chair placed in front and tapped twice on the glass-like circular board.

Trrooiinn!

A holographic projection of a keyboard and a virtual screen appeared above the glass-like board.

This was a modern age computer. It could be taken anywhere since it was very portable. It could also decrease to a pocket-size.

Gustav had only made use of one in the school so he wasn't as experienced as others in using the web but he had decided to learn.

"Connect to nearest hotspot... yes," Gustav muttered out these words before tapping his index finger on the yes button that appeared in the air.

-

Three days later Gustav was starting to get used to living in this new environment.

He had been heading to school with Angy for the past three days.

He had met Angy parents and they were the nice type just as he expected since their daughter was the same.

Her father was a pure slarkov. Angy got her horns from him while her mother was a pure human. It was hard to find pure humans and Slarkovs these days so Gustav was surprised. Angy parents also happened to work in a laboratory close to the heart of Plankton city. She had a junior brother who was around the same age as Endric, surprisingly he had the opposite of Endric's character and was even a shy type.

Gustav had met some other neighbors during this time. Most were pretty neutral with their attitude towards him. This made Gustav feel like he was in a different world entirely.

'Does this mean that poor people are the nicest...? If that's the case... Why are my parents the opposite?' Gustav could never wrap his head around this and sometimes when he thought about it he would develop a headache so he just decided to stop thinking about how the world works and focus on his own.

Gustav had continued his training with miss Aimee in Gami Dojo. Gustav feat had already traveled across the three floors of the Dojo. Whenever he bumped into any one of his age mates practicing there, they would have a look of reverence.

More of them had approached him to be his friend but Gustav still accepted no friendships.

Internally he felt this situation wasn't good. No one was coming to look for his trouble how was he going to receive future compensations.

But Gustav also knew that it was only a matter of time before that happened because he had noticed that some of them still had looks of dissatisfaction when they saw him.

He knew it was only a matter of time before one of those proud kids would come to challenge him again and Gustav had sworn in his heart that this time, he would receive a larger compensation than he collected from Masuba.

Gustav had been researching for Jobs he could do to amass more money for the past few days and he had found several on the internet.

The only problem was, most of them were full-time works and it was impossible for him to drop out of school right now.

It was eight p.m right now.

Gustav laid on his bed like a log of wood and sighed.

"Only the virtual reality combat looks plausible but it would take a long time for me to build enough reputation for others to pay for a challenge," Gustav muttered.

He truly felt he might remain a poor bastard and not get enough money before the MBO entrance test took place.

At this time only a bit over three months were left.

Gustav sighed again, "Such short timing, I should have started this earlier," He lamented.

While Gustav was still thinking of ways out he suddenly felt the hair on his skin rise.

"Uh, what's th..." Before he could complete his statement a loud sound was heard.

Bang!

It sounded like a collapsing building.

"Kiiaarrrrhhh!"

A loud heart-wrenching scream rang out across the building causing Gustav to immediately jump up from his bed.

Swoovv!

Gustav immediately ran out of his room and straight outside his apartment.

Chatter! Chatter!

He wasn't the only one who heard the noise, the neighbors also heard. Several of them could be seen moving towards the source of the noise.

"Kyyyarrhh!"

Another scream rang out again causing the hair on Gustav's skin to rise again.

'What in the world is that?' He wondered internally as he ran towards the stairs.

Due to the number of people on the small spaced stairs, the movement was slow.

He could see Angy climbing down at a fast pace from his location.

They were about six to seven people before him and her.

Gustav turned back around and ran into the passageway.

In a few seconds, he arrived at the door that led to the balcony.

He wasted no time in pushing it open.

Gustav walked in at a fast pace and moved toward the edge of the balcony which was twenty feet away.

He stood before the edge and looked down at the ground from this height. He could sense that the disturbance was coming from the ground floor because he could see people moving towards the apartment there.

Gustav breathed in before jumping several feet forward.
