Chương 18: 18: Aurelia the predator!

After stepping out of the study, Val navigated a long hallway where he came across someone unexpected.

Standing adjacent to him was his elder sister, Aurelia V. Whitemore.

Doe-like eyes, thick lashes, vibrant red lips and golden locks perfectly framed her face, and her complexion was as flawless as porcelain, free of any blemishes.

She was dressed in a white dress that tastefully revealed one leg up to the knee and accentuated her refined cleavage. And she was bathing in a ray of sunlight cascading through the window, looking no less alluring than a holy angel.

The sight of her would cause many hearts to flutter, but Val only felt a wave of disgust.

'What the fuck is this pervert doing here?'

Val great mood was ruined as his elder sister blocked his way.

"Good morning, brother," she greeted him sweetly. Her smile, as bright as a morning sun, emerged as she noticed him.

Val's eyes twitched, hearing her sickingly sweet voice.

"Why have you returned? And with whose permission? he inquired, his voice frosty and unwelcoming.

Many years ago, Aurelia had committed an unforgivable crime against Val. She had betrayed the little bit of trust he put in her because she was his sister in the most cruel way possible.

The crime she commited was unforgivable.

For her transgressions, she was exiled from Ironspire stronghold, stripped of the privileges that came woth being the only daughter of the head of the Whitemores, and forced to endure the humiliation of being a an outcast. She was left to the mercies of the outer regions, a realm known for its harsh conditions and rampant criminal activities. Those days were a living nightmare, a constant battle for survival for her.

Her bad days didn't last for long though.

Joshua overlooked her crime and provided her with help. She was his only daughter. He couldn't bear to see her suffer.

He disliked her, but also loved her, and his love for her led him to arrange for her to have a place in the inner region of the kingdom, where the conditions were relatively better, and where she could at least live with a semblance of dignity.

His only condition? Aurelia was never to return to Ironspire stronghold unless Val forgave her. It was a fair condition given the gravity of her crime, and Aurelia had no choice but to accept it.

It was really weird to see her here as Val hadn't forgiven her!

"I do not remember ever needing anyone's permission to return home," she retorted arrogantly.

"That day I think I made myself clear about you not setting foot in this house until I am here. Have you already forgotten it? Is that why you are acting out? Should I teach you again how to behave?" Val gazed at her coldly.

Those who knew the Chaotic Warlord "Val the Unfeeling" knew that when he was looking at someone like that, it could mean only one of the following two thing.

He was going to hurt them or he was going to kill them!!!

"Can you still teach me a lesson? Don't forget, I'm bloodline user and you're just a normie. Father should value me more than you." Aurelia taunted Val.

Joshua had two wives.

His second wife gave birth to Val before running away. His first wife, on the other hand, had given birth to two children.

One of them was Aurelia.

After giving birth to her, Joshia's first wife died, so he naturally developed a dislike for Aurelia, thinking that she was the cause of her death, but he also couldn't bear to wrong or abandon her as she was the last gift left to him by his dead wife.

Val responded dismissively, "That may be true, but putting you in your place wouldn't be much of a challenge for the servants and members of our family. Don't forget you aren't welcomed here. Neither our relatives nor the servants like you. Maybe I should go and inform them that you are bothering me and see what happens."

Feigning innocence, Aurelia said, "Don't be so harsh. I've come all the way from the capital to assist you after hearing of your assignment to the Northern Frontier. You'll regret it if you don't listen to my proposal."

"How can you assist when you're the reason for my impending deployment to the Frontier?" Val retorted.

"During my time in the capital, I've made some...connections," Aurelia began, her voice so sugary sweet that it disgusted Val. "I could use them to ensure you're assigned to logistics at the Northern Frontier. Much safer than the front lines, don't you think?"

She had nothing to her name but her beauty. It was quite obvious how she had formed these connections that she was talking.

Val felt even more revolted by her existence. As this woman lacked morals, he really wanted to smack her to oblivion, but he held himself back.

"And is there a price for your 'help'?" Val questioned, skepticism clear in his voice.

"There is." she replied.

What she said next was as shocking as it was appalling.

"Brother, I want you to have sex with me," she said, her tone entirely too casual for such a request.

She wanted to fuck her own brother!

In response, Val was blunt, "I don't fancy used goods. There's no way I am putting my stick in a hole that has been invaded countless times. Who knows what disease you're carrying."

Aurelia's anger flared at his blatant rejection. "Trash, you dare disrespect me? I will teach you a lesson in the place of our father so that you can learn to respect your elders!"

With a single move, she covered the few steps of distance between them in an instant and with blinding speed, she attempted to land a punishing blow.

To an ordinary person, her strike was so swift and brutal that they wouldn't be able to keep with it.

It meant that getting hit would be inevitable!

However, to Val, it was as if in slow motion. He could see it coming from a mile away.

Sidestepping nonchalantly, he watched as she stumbled and lunged at the empty air, losing her footing im the process.

Capitalizing on her imbalance, Val, without holding anything back, launched a counterattack.

He grabbed her face and brutally smashed her head first into the wall!

Ugh!

She groaned as she crashed into the wall. The impact left her disortinted.

When her vision cleared up, she heard him say something that sent chills down her spine.

"You're the one who's misguided and in need of a lesson," Val stated coldly, "Only the strong has the right to teach other lessons in this world. I'll be personally teaching you what it means to respect the strong!"

In her state of fear and shock, Aurelia quickly whimpered, "I'm sorry!"

Val's features though remained hardened. He was unimpressed by her apology.

"You think saying 'sorry' will cut it? No it won't be changing anything. I thought you've changed. Clearly, you haven't. It is clear that you've forgotten the lesson I taught you when you tried to rape me. But don't worry. I will drive my lesson back into your head, sister of mine, so that you can get back to being clear-headed."

Before she could protest, her head was violently struck against the wall, time and again!

Bam!

Ahhhhhh!

As Val continuously smashed her head against the wall, she felt as if he would really kill her!

She cried. Her wails of terror, sounding similar to a pig being slaughtered, echoed through the corridor as blood trickled down her face.

"Please spare me!" she begged while trembling like a terrified rabbit.

What Val hated most were rapist, and she had proven herself to be one years ago when she tried to rape him.

At that time he was only so old yet, she still dared to lay her hands on him. It made her true nature clear to him. Although she had the face of an angel, her heart was that of a devil!

He was young but it didn't mean he had no way of protecting himself.

Utilizing the experience of his past life and the little bit of strength he had gained thanks to training for several years, he easily ruined her insidious plans.

He had been training ever since he turned 2, so by the time he was 9, he was stronger than pretty much everyone his age, and Aurelia wasn't much older than him. Thus, he was able to flip the tables on her.

After ruining her plan, he retaliated, punishing her for her disgusting and revolting behavior, but he had spared her disgusting little life as killing her would've doomed her. After all, he needed to live under the roof of his father until he gained the power to protect himself, so he couldn't do anything that would get him kicked out of the Whitemore family and the IronSpire Stronghold. The survival rate of a mere normie living without the protection of a stronghold was slim. His instinct didn't allow him to sacrifice himself for revenge that he could take anytime. Crushing an ant like her was, after all, not a hard task!

But now that he was a Bloodlime User, he didn't need to put up with her digusting behavior.

Don't even ask for it!

He wasn't going to show mercy to a disgusting creature like her!

"Of couse, I will, my dear sister. All I want is for you to live a long and miserable life," Val said emotionlessly and began the hammering!
