章 82: Prologue
Within a large room.
A pair of old man and a youth sat face to face. The old man had a long golden hair with the same color beard reaching his chest. His fierce golden eyes glimmer brightly, showing his remarkable dignity and pressure to the people watching him. There's animal ears and tail on his body, meaning he was belonged to the beastman race.
The youth in front of him had similar appearance to him except the fact he seemed a lot younger in his early twenties. He was without doubt a handsome young man, his eyes were radiating with confidence and pride.
Too bad such kind of young man was stained by overwhelming arrogance that could not be hidden from his face, earning a sigh from the old man in front of him.
"Erick, I heard of your doings these past week. I already tired of giving you a preach, just why won't you redeem yourself?"
"Hahaha! That's what I don't get from you Father, why should I redeem myself? It's only right for me to slaughter everyone dares to defy my order!!"
The young man who was called Erick by the old man was laughing as if he was hearing the biggest joke in the world. Ever since he was a child he had always been a very arrogant kid who caused all kinds of troubles for his father.
Alas it was because how his father had spoiled him too much and rarely paid attention to his growth because he was very busy with his duty.
The old man heard how Erick was beating up some servants, even tried to kill them the moment they refuse his request to offer their daughters to him.
Thankfully before he managed to carry on his misdeeds, the old man stopped him and brought him here. The beaten up servants were all currently received treatments.
"*Sigh* You're a a very talented person so why's your personality like this? Though I guess it's all my fault too huh...."
The old man shook his head while sighing helplessly. No matter how much troubles his son brought, he could never use violence against him because of how much he treasured his only son. In this side, the little sister was a lot better because she was a kind and caring person, unlike her brother.
"Quit yapping out the useless talk, father, isn't there anything more you wanted to say? If not then I'm going to leave now." Erick snorted and talked with a tone not fitting against his own parents.
Gritting his teeth, the old man calmed his self down and ignored Erick's insult and indifference to him.
"Fine, I want to ask your preparations for the tournament, how is it going?"
"Preparations? Such a waste of time to make a preparation for something I bound to win no matter what."
"You said that, but what about the girl who always defeated you at the finals? If you lose again this time, it will be your tenth lose to her." The old man said grinning.
"Tsk, Of course I remember. That little bitch, I will end that smug look on her face soon and made her realize who's the real boss."
And that time he would also thoroughly enjoyed and punished her badly with her own body at his bed until she begged for forgiveness. Just by imagining it made him very excited, it was unknown how many girls already became his victim until now.
"Hoo, indeed, you seems much more confident than before, then I hope you won't disappoint me."
The old man nodded, not noticing the vile thought inside his son's mind, if he did then surely he would puke blood from anger and shame.
"Oh right, there's also a participant I need you to defeat there." He raised his eyebrows and said to Erick.
"What? Who?" Erick asked.
"It's someone sent by that cowardly dog Zelrigth, he promised to fight me again if his chosen warrior was defeated in the tournament."
Just remembering the letter he sent on the old man recently made him boiled in anger. Zelrigth had always been stronger than him but he suddenly 'ran away' the moment the old man wanted to settle the score, saying he did not have the time.
"Huh, fine then, what's this guy name?" Erick nodded thinking it was not a big deal aince he was aiming to win anyway.
When he learned that his opponent was a mere adventurer and commoner he laughed out loud thinking the human's Emperor has gone mad.
"Don't underestimate him, I know that guy since a long time ago, there's no way for him to actually sending an ordinary warrior." The old man frowned and warned his son.
"Yeah, yeah. If you said it that far then let's just see how strong he is shall we?" He said and yet his expression was lack of interest.
"Well, you're indeed very strong and talented, so there shouldn't be many could compete with you in the Junior block. As long as you didn't let your guard down, you should be able to win."
Despite his misgivings, his son was a supreme genius young man, capable of reaching the Zenith Mortal realm even before he reached thirty years old.
The Mortal realm was the level those below Transcendent and Semi-Transcendent, divided by four levels, Low, Mid, High, and Zenith.
Zenith was the rank just below Semi-Transcendent, and to reach such level within twenty years was indeed outstanding. But this was also exactly the source of Erick's arrogance, as he's not only born with superb background but also possessed extraordinary talent.
For him, his only rival was the woman who always brought him shame everytime they've met, it was unforgivable considering how prideful he was.
As for the one his father asked him to defeat? He didn't even put him on his mind. It was as if he's just a mere ant, not even worthy of his stepping stone to someday rule the entire world as a supreme emperor.
That's right, he was actually aiming to rule the entire world. For him it was natural, as if he was born for being so, that's why no one should dare to look at him from above, only him alone have the right to do so.
And thus by winning against the one putting on a shadow in his heart because of his inability to win, he would take his first step on his ambition. For him there's no one else but her who could match him in strength on his peers.
He didn't know how big of a mistake his current thought until later time.
