nAnd you want to know how?

nSoon, all the gods directed tons of their already suppressed anger at the head of the Wony family, and as they all jumped into the arena, I made sure to leave early.

nIt won’t be long before the Wony family becomes the biggest enemy there is… But they’re also the strongest, so it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.

n“What do we do now?” Orme asked, nervous as hell and shaking at an extreme speed.

nIt was almost cartoon the way he couldn’t stop shaking.

n“Well, we’ll just wait out the quarrel. If your father isn’t stupid, he’ll back up and let them duke it out, injure themselves, and give us a chance to completely crush them underneath our palms,” I muttered.

n“Who are you calling stupid?” A booming voice echoed through the hall, and when I turned around, I saw the head of the Bonebloom family stomping toward us.

n“I never called you stupid because you never ended up doing the stupid action,” I replied as the head walked past me.

n“You’re lucky I’m in a good mood,”

n“Good mood? I don’t see a good mood from where I am,” I chuckled, and Orme also snickered a bit, angering the large man.

n“Both of you shut the hell up and follow me. We’ll be going to war now. I’m sure the Wony family will be severely injured, especially with the death of their heir… You’re stronger than I thought, boy,” The man complimented me, but I didn’t care for that right now.

n“Hey, don’t order me around. I was never your foot soldier… Just a guest,”

nThe man stopped in his tracks, turned around, and assaulted me with his bloodlust, but this time, I was ready and countered with as much mana as I could muster.

nI regenerated more than enough mana to somewhat hold my own… actually, scratch that. Slightly hold my own.

nI was ready for the assault, but it still battered me, almost breaking my cool and collected composure.

nThe feeling of this bloodlust entering my skin was like a thousand ants crawling underneath your skin and then biting the flesh itself.

nFor some reason, it didn’t hurt that bad, but it did as hell feel weird and felt heavy.

n“Say that ** again,” The head muttered, his mouth leaking a musty and red breath that made my eyes almost roll back from the stench.

n“Am I wrong?” I asked, and the man continued to pressure me until I displayed no signs of giving in.

n“Then never come back to my family again for a favor. If I ever see you again, I’ll bust your ass and make sure you won’t be able to fight again… no, I’ll make sure you won’t even get to see your dead family,” He smirked and then continued to walk down the hallway.

n…

n“Sorry about that. I’m sure he didn’t mean all of that, but just to be careful, please don’t anger him any further,” Orme said, and I just gave him a smile without a single sentence or word.

nAs soon as the gate closed on me and the servant walked back into the mansion, my entire body exploded with bloodlust.

nIt was like a sea of blood had been dumped onto the concrete as I walked away from that damn mansion.

n“I’ll kill that mother **er… Insulting my mother… I’ll **ing kill him,”

nI tried to suppress my anger as much as possible, but that only held it back for a smidge of a second as it soon came crashing out again.

nMy lip and palms were pouring so much blood from me biting it and clenching my fingernails into my palm so hard.

n“I need more power… More **ing power!” I shouted before, just barely managing to hold myself back from punching the concrete sidewalk.

nMy fist was just centimeters away from shattering this neatly paved place…

n“Ssssssss… Okay, let’s calm down,”

nAfter using my breath skill to calm myself down, I made sure to tidy myself up before going back to the place where my friends and I had slept.

nIt was currently deep in the night, maybe around eleven pm or midnight, so they should still be there.

nAnd, just like I had thought, they were all sleeping inside the alleyway where we had stayed.

n“Now we just have to play the waiting game….” I muttered to myself, but the hateful and disgraceful words that man said to me continued to echo through my mind.

nIf I can’t kill any monster… the only way to level up is to kill the people of this city…

n“Becoming mercenaries, huh? Doesn’t sound that bad now that I think about it more… But from what I’ve seen, humans give such few experience points… Urgggggh… I’ll just think about it more in the morning,”

n…

nBut in the morning, I was greeted by a pair of fiery red eyes and a cheerful smile that made the girl before me almost seem harmless.

n“*sigh*… What do you want?” I asked while gesturing for Findir, Cy, and Aisa to remove their weapons from the girl’s neck.

nBlood had already been drawn, and if there was any more, she might’ve fainted from blood loss.

n“Wow… You all are scary. No wonder why the big man wanted me to get you all,” The girl muttered with the same harmless smile as before.

n“What are you here for?” I asked as I stood up and towered over the girl, who was only about 5’5.

nShe was strong, but not so strong that Aisa, our literal sniper, wouldn’t be able to win against her in a one-on-one fight.

n“The head and next head of my family want to get to know you all and propose an amazing deal you won’t be able to decline,” She said as she danced in place.

nShe looked to be about fifteen years old, so not much younger than us… but her personality was like that of a little kid.

n“Seems the Wony family… is a bit desperate,” I muttered with a psychotic smile that caused the girl to fall back onto her butt.
