Chương 17: Revenge

Chapter 17

He thought to himself, already forming a revenge plan against the trio who had beaten him today.

He was narrow-minded and could easily hold grudges when wronged.

It was a mentality he had followed in his past life as well. He would never provoke others, but if provoked, he wouldn't hold back.

Although it was somewhat cliché that first he was beaten by them and then he sought revenge, what else could he do? He was furious; if not for Nadia's healing elixir, he might have died there.

He wanted to teach them a lesson for messing with him. He was almost dead if not for Nadia's intervention; he couldn't let them go easily.

Of course, he couldn't kill them under the watchful eyes of hidden guards surrounding them.

It was outrageous that he wasn't assigned any guards, considering his lacking abilities, but it granted him greater freedom and privacy than any of his siblings.

Picking up a rock nearby, he slowly clenched his fist, and the rock soon broke into multiple pieces under the force of his hand.

"Amazing…"

He marveled at his strength; it was superhuman. He was quite sure that no normal person could do what he had just done, not in this world or his previous one.

Noticing the absence of the clan guardian, he wondered if the cat had gone to attend to some business.

'Well… all I can do now is wait and train some more.'

Just like that, a day passed.

Oliver had mostly adjusted to the newfound strength in his body by now.

He felt like he had finally become a superhuman by the standards of his previous world, which made him quite excited and happy.

As he meditated to train his special eyes, he suddenly heard discreet footsteps… He felt as if all his senses had been significantly enhanced.

His hearing had improved by leaps and bounds; he could even hear the distant sounds of leaves rustling in the wind.

He quickly sensed the approaching footsteps, folding his legs, Oliver observed from the paper door of his room, his eyes narrowing. Through the transparent wall, he could make out a distant blackish silhouette walking towards the courtyard gate.

"Who could it be at this time?"

He thought in confusion, slowly standing up and sliding open the door.

And he quickly identified the visitor…

It was the same second sibling who had watched him get beaten earlier!

It was the same 2nd sibling who was earlier watching him get beaten…

…and later competed with Nadia only to get embarrassed.

But.. what was he doing at his place?

Oliver wore his sandals and looked at his surroundings…

His eyes, which would automatically filter out the world for him whenever he looked around—the [Cosmic Void Gaze] was quite powerful, he could not see any hidden guards around as usual.

His courtyard was usually not monitored by the hidden guards unless there was something needed from him so he did not feel surprised that there was an absence of hidden guards.

"Why are you here?"

Oliver asked, his tone was a bit cold, it was clear that he was not welcoming of this person.

The 2nd elder sibling who saw that Oliver has completely healed was surprised a little considering the serious wounds he suffered earlier.

He proceeded to question first, ignoring Oliver's previous question, "Where is your respect? I am your older brother."

His tone was arrogant and condescending as if he was looking down on Oliver.

Oliver cringed at the thick-skinned and shameless sibling of his.

"An older sibling who watched his younger brother get beaten half to death and enjoyed the whole show without lifting a finger, from your reaction, I am assuming that you don't care about what happens to me?"

The 2nd sibling was silent for a moment upon listening to his sarcastic remarks of anger.

"You are right, I did not feel anything, you should know that strength is everything, we, the Mystic Purge clan, does not acknowledge the weak. If you are weak, then you are nothing."

He calmly said, as if this was the most normal thing in the world.

"As expected from you…" Oliver did not wanted to argue with him any more, he directly asked,

"What do you want from me?"

The 2nd brother of his paused and looked at Oliver's handsome face for a bit, only now did he realize that his features were terrifyingly similar to Nadia…

Earlier, he was too busy to look at his face and only now he realized this.

Looking at his face, the image of Nadia's face converged in his mind as he suddenly recalled the earlier incident where he experienced shame.

His face turned ugly as he once again questioned in a superior tone,

"Why are your injuries healed? It should have taken at least a week for your bones and skin to even start recovering—"

He abruptly stopped in the middle as he thought of something bizarre, his eyes widened at his own though as he asked in an impatient tone.

"Don't tell me… did Nadia use a healing elixir on a waste like you… it can't be that… there's no way that girl would ever-"

Oliver looked at his supposed elder brother and felt amused by his expressions… indeed it was quite hard to accept the reality that the cold and ruthless Nadia had actually used an elixir on a talentless bastard.

If this news were to spread, everyone in the clan would feel shocked, but more so, his mother and father would immediately isolate Nadia from everyone.

Ophelia, his dangerous mother, wanted to cultivate Nadia into a perfect and superior existence, to her, emotions were an obstacle that would only get in the way of her daughter's path to greatness.

Oliver was very sure that if this brat snitched on them then his mother would do everything to kill Nadia's emotions, and it may be as worse as torturing and killing him in front of her.

He shivered a bit as he realized the seriousness, he really cannot allow this fake brother of his to leave easily now.

"Well, I had a healing elixir with me that I used…"

Even though he knew it was quite useless to lie in front

of this guy, he still said a few words.

And as he had expected, the 2nd brother flew into rage.

Chương 18: Gaze of the Cosmic Void: Godly Fear!

Chapter 18

And as expected, the 2nd brother was immediately furious as he said,

"Do you take me for a fool!? Are you saying that a pathetic waste like you can own an elixir? I don't think the clan would waste any resources on you!"

"It is up to you whether to believe it or not."

Oliver did not say any more.

"You-! Bastard, tell me what your relationship is with Naida and why she stopped us last time. I expect honest answers. If you dare to play games, then expect to lose a limb or two."

He threatened. It was quite clear that he wanted to know why Naida interfered last time. Even though they were twin siblings by blood, it did not mean anything in the clan. Only strength was the norm.

If possible, he wanted to gain an advantage over Naida, and he believed that Oliver may know something about it.

Why else would she interfere? Oliver must have something important…

"Do you think you are capable enough to make me say it?" Oliver chuckled, a hint of sarcasm evident in his words.

He said, "A coward older brother who ran away hiding his tail between his legs when faced with his talented little sister? You still have the guts? Hahaha."

Oliver naturally had no intentions of revealing anything to this unimportant character at all.

Although it was quite true that he might as well have run away cowardly when facing the terrifying Naida, but he did not have to say it.

When it came to provoking others, he knew a lot. The characters of the novels were all read by him once, and he knew what triggered them the most as well.

He knew that the children from the Mystic Purge Clan despised being looked down upon by someone weaker than them the most.

So he did just that to provoke this 2nd brother, and the results were quite good as well, as he saw veins popping on his forehead.

"Just because I did not face Naida, a weakling like you thinks that he can talk to me? It seems that I was quite lenient last time. Do you believe that she will come to your rescue here?"

The 2nd brother coldly sneered, "She is nicknamed 'the dark seedling'; blood and familial bond mean nothing to her! Today, I will teach you what true strength means!"

He roared and directly attacked Oliver!

He roared as he ended the sentence and threw a punch at Oliver. The speed of the punch was extraordinary, and the impact it could generate was enough to even break a tough metal boulder.

However, to Oliver, the punch seemed to slow down considerably.

Not to mention the permanent boost he received in his strength last time that amplified his senses, but he was also the bearer of the upgraded version of one of the 4 mythical eyes.

The punch was as slow as a sloth inching its way across a branch. Each instance felt agonizingly drawn out and easily anticipated by his heightened senses.

His lips curled into a small smirk as he had achieved what he intended. He wanted this brother of his to admit that Naida was the cold and ruthless girl they imagined her to be.

He did not even want to leave a shred of doubt in their minds. By angering him through embarrassing provocations, he did just that.

Bang!

The fist collided, but the result was not what the 2nd brother had been expecting. He was initially thinking that his punch would directly dislocate Oliver's shoulders and might even break his arm.

But what happened was that his punch was caught by Oliver's small white hand.

The 2nd brother's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw what was happening in front of him. An impossible scene was happening at the moment.

Just the last time when he saw Oliver getting brutally beaten, he could clearly tell that Oliver was definitely not this strong.

From the way just light punches and kicks from his little siblings directly injured Oliver, it was bizarre that his punch, which was at least 5 times stronger than their punches, was stopped without any issue!

He had seen Oliver's skin and bones getting bruised last time, so he was definitely not this robust and tough. So how did he become like this in just a single day!?

The 2nd brother immediately retracted his fist…

"What!?"

At that moment, he felt as if his fist had been caught in an iron grip. No matter how much force he applied, he could not retract his fist back from Oliver's hand.

Looking at the unshakable jade-white hand in front of him, his heart suddenly palpitated. A strong uneasiness was starting to spread in his chest as the realization dawned upon him that things were not simple anymore.

"Dear 2nd brother…" Oliver's soft voice sounded, which drew his attention for a moment as he looked up at his face where their eyes met.

What he saw in Oliver's eyes at that moment was something terrifying….

It was an abyss!

A swirling abyss of darkness and death, an endless void devoid of light or hope, emitting a palpable aura of dread and despair.

In those eyes, he saw his deepest fears magnified a thousandfold, his mind consumed by an overwhelming sense of doom.

It was as if he was staring into the abyss itself, and it was staring back, ready to consume him whole, opening its black cosmic maw.

This was all happening because Oliver had used the 3rd ability of his special eyes, [Enshrouding of Death].

"Ugk! Blegh!"

The 2nd brother puked uncontrollably as tears flooded his eyes, but even then, he was unable to divert his eyes from Oliver's.

He kept puking uncontrollably; he almost felt like throwing his guts out at the moment. His heart stirred, and he felt it was going to stop at any moment.

Death had come to his door.

He slowly lost all his will… he was going to die!

Oliver stopped at that moment and used his other hand to punch the other party's stomach, and in the next instance, the 2nd brother fainted almost immediately.

He knew that if he did not punch him, the other party wouldn't be able to stop looking at his eyes, especially if the other person's mental resistance was not too strong.

So he delivered a physical stimulus. Given his turbulent strength, he directly knocked out his so-called 2nd brother.

"That should be enough."
