like Kahn, his younger brother was one of the few people that he really cared about.
Therefore, when he learned that Roger had betrayed him, he was in grief. His emotions
were so stirred up that he wasn’t able to do a simple magic trick. But to Roger, this big
brother - Kahn was like a towering tree covering the sky, blocking his way to
develop, snatching away the sunshine and rainwater, which should have belonged to
him, and completely shadowing his way to move forward, so that he could not succeed.
Hence, he hated Kahn to the bone, and it didn’t bother him to clash with Sui Xiong’s group,
with the intention of getting Kahn into trouble.
Sui Xiong could not understand the relationship between these two brothers.
"In fact, it is not hard to understand. It is none other than jealousy." In this game
of scheming, plotting and betraying, Lei deserved to be claimed as experienced and
knowledgeable, so he then explained, "Kahn is very strong, but he is indeed very
lonely. Roger is his family. Their ages are not much different. He also has certain
talent. To Kahn, Roger is very suitable to be a "soul mate"-- -- which satisfies his need
for affection as well as doesn’t have any threats toward him. And what he gives to
pay for this are just some insignificant things that aren’t worth mentioning to him."
"And what about Roger? Although he receives Kahn’s care and attention, those are
not what he wants. The thing he wants is to seize those resources for his own, to
quickly progress, and to get countless praises and worship. And in order to get
those things, he must compete with Kahn. He obviously can’t defeat Kahn. He didn’t
even dare to show his competitive intent. Thus, jealousy and resentment in his heart has
accumulated more and more with time, making everything turn out like this in the
end."
"In reality, this kind of matter is very common. In a noble family, if two children
either talented or excellent appear simultaneously, then things will usually develop to this extent."
Sui Xiong was greatly enlightened. At first, he found it was hard to imagine, but
after thinking about the story line of many intense fighting dramas, it seemed
somewhat reasonable.
As a young man with an innate talent, capabilities and ambition, the most
important in Roger’s eyes were his career and future. On the outside, the achievements
he had today were completely thanks to Kahn’s guidance. But thinking back, if Kahn
died, didn’t he have more chances?
This matter made him recall an old saying, which he didn’t remember where or when
he had heard it: No matter how well a boss treats you, it is still not better than
being your own boss!
To be honest, Sui Xiong didn’t think highly of Roger either. With his mind and
talent, being a waiter in the most famous and luxurious restaurant in the Green Tree
city was somewhat a waste of talent. But letting him become an advanced shaman was
too unrealistic. One thing to bear in mind was that even though he was taken care of by
Kahn, the one who claimed to be a top-notch outstanding shaman, he
was only this much. His talent could be imagined.
But to a person whose mind was burned with ambition, there was no principle
that could be explained to him.
"What are you going to do? Killl him?" Sui Xiong sighed, asking Kahn.
Kahn had already recovered his composure, shook his head, and beamed a very
nonchalant smile.
"I won’t kill him. It is unnecessary," He calmly said, "Anyway, you will not let
him slip away, right?"
Sui Xiong nodded then continued to ask, "Then how about you? Do you have
anything you want to say?"
Kahn shook his head again. "No need, it’s up to you."
"You seem very decadent. This is not good either."
"After all, this is the way, I kill people and I, of course, can get killed. It is very fair." Kahn
seemed like he had completely ignored the part about his life-and-death. "You don’t
need to care about this. In such a big world, living and dying are very normal.
Today you kill me, tomorrow there will be another person who will kill you. It is
just that simple."
Sui Xiong furrowed his brows. Kahn said very reasonably. His face remained unchanged when
his death was near which was a little impressive. But Sui Xiong still found there was
something wrong in this.
This guy is a genius. He is just twentyish but he has already become the top shaman. As
long as he doesn’t die, stepping into the land of legend is certain. How can he be
willing to die?!
Not to mention.....are those people who raised him perhaps able to sit still and watch
him die?
When thinking about this, he suddenly realized then sneered. Cold lights on his
tentacles shot out in all directions then condensed into a sharp ice knife, which could
be compared to a steel knife, ruthlessly stabbing into Kahn’s chest.
Before the knife could hit Kahn, a green light had risen up from Kahn’s body,
protecting him completely.
The mild and gentle light hid a tremendous power. Along with an ice knife, it
could even block an attack from a bunch of fully-armed knights.
But what it did was useless because the ice knife of Sui Xiong had stopped halfway.
The ice knife didn’t really slash down.
"Get out." Sui Xiong lowered his voice and said, "After all, you are a big person in
the legendary realm. You don’t need to sneakily hide on the side."
The green light flared up in the air. A shadow of an old man wearing a glamorous
long black gown appeared in front of them.
"My greetings, young God." The old man slightly nodded to Sui Xiong, showing his
Respect. "I am the owner of the Green Tree Tower. I am very sorry that my sons have
caused you trouble."
"In fact, they haven’t brought any trouble to me. But I want to ask you one question-- --
If they have done something like this, do you ignore it?" Sui Xiong was not being
polite just because the opposite party had acted politely toward him, as he asked coldly, "Do
you teach your children to act cruelly like this?"
"I don’t teach Kahn these things. It could be taken as a habit of his."
Although being courteous, the old man didn’t show any trace of compromising.
"Acting mercifully is not a good habit. The young shamans, who didn’t work
nimbly enough, have already died. The remaining ones are just like that."
"The young shamans I know are not like that."
"It is just because they are weak." The old man said nonchalantly, "Forgiveness and
mercy are the power of the strong. In order to be merciful to the enemy, the first thing
to do is to become strong enough to the point that even if the enemy fights back, you
won’t be hurt-- -- Right now, Kahn is not strong enough. Let alone, his
enemy is a God. Basically, he doesn’t qualify to be merciful. In fact, even if he gives
his best, he would not have the ability to threaten you. So if this is the case and he still
wants to be merciful, then that is just an act of a clown."
This old man sounded very knowledgeable. He caught this massive point of Sui
Xiong. Just like what he said, no matter if it was Roger or Kahn, they both hadn’t
enough ability to threaten Sui Xiong. Hence, the fact that whether or not they act
merciful didn’t have much meaning.
However, Sui Xiong didn’t back down, he sneered and retorted, "Just because the
opponent is mighty, you immediately take action more ruthlessly? Then, if they face a weaker
opponent, will they be merciful?"
"Different circumstance needs different analysis. You can’t lump different matters
together." The old man calmly said.
"Humph, humph, I’ve understood!" Sui Xiong sneered then continued asking, "I still
have one final question, would you mind answering me a little bit?"
"Please ask."
"There is a proverb that goes like this: Raising without teaching is a fault of a father. Children
have gone the wrong way, so does the adult need to have responsibility for that?"
The face of the old man finally changed. But Sui Xiong didn’t wait for him to react as
the blue light on Sui Xiong’s body flared up.
This blue light wasn’t dazzling but it brought along an incredible power, which one
was unable to resist. It was like a tide overflowing everywhere, instantly covering the
entire restaurant.
The old man growled. Then the magic tower in the center of the city instantly sent out
a glaring light, shot toward the restaurant. But it was strongly blocked by the blue
light.
However, in this moment, Sui Xiong already had his tentacle out to grab the old man
who was just an illusion, shouted out loud and pulled him out.
"You think you can be safe if you hide inside that narrow stitched space? Good
thinking!"
An unimaginable intense great magic battle suddenly exploded, but it soon settled
down.
After everything recovered to its normal state, one-third of the restaurant had turned
into a pile of ruins.
Among the ruins, the body of the floating jellyfish had gotten much bigger than
before. He coldly stared at the old man whose face had been beaten badly and who
was struggling. The legendary shaman’s ability to cast magic had been
temporarily locked by Sui Xiong’s god power. At this moment, he was not much
different than a normal person.
"To be honest, I am not a court of law. I am also not interested in playing the role of
judge." Sui Xiong’s voice sounded like thunder, echoing in the sky above the ruins.
"But if I come across something, I need to take care of it."
He was too lazy to wait for everyone to answer as well, he thus swung up his
tentacle again.
Four lights fell on the four hired thugs. They temporarily bared their teeth and rolled their
eyes, looking like they were in pain.
"The natures of the four of you are not counted as too bad. However, helping others
to do evil things is a big mistake. The death penalty can be exempted, but
punishment is unavoidable! I have engraved a curse mark on all of you. Whenever
you do bad things, the curse mark will cause you pain. Only when you do good deeds,
will you be able to make the pain disappear. As long as all of you can accumulate one
thousand good deeds, the curse mark doesn’t only vanish, but your physiques will also
be improved. You are given the ability to cast magic as well."
The four hired thugs looked at each other for a while, then all kneeled down on the
ground to obediently take the punishment.
Although such a punishment this was a little bit annoying, they had escaped from
death. Moreover.... if the words of this God were true, they would have a
chance to become stronger!
"Kahn, since you still don’t repent after doing evil things, you have already been deemed as
unredeemable. Take my wake-up call!"
On the jellyfish tentacle, the golden pattern in the shape of the word "ten thousand"
sparkled, flew over, and slammed on Kahn’s forehead.
Kahn’s eyes dimmed. He suddenly rolled on the ground due to an intense headache.
After a while, the headache slowly faded out, but he didn’t stand up. He kept
lying on the ground, facing up to the sky. As his eyes were full of guilt and sorrow, tears
drenched his face.
His vitality quickly withered. His face instantly became as pale as a dead person but
his eyes were very bright and clear, completely different from his old self, emitting a
light which made people feel comfortable from the bottom of their heart.
"Do you know where you are wrong?" Sui Xiong asked.
"I’ve already known." Kahn said while sobbing, "But.. . . It is too late!"
"It is never too late to repent. Just slowly atone for your crime!" The God power of Sui
Xiong radiated. The God of Redemption immediately received the news and sent his
messenger to pick up Kahn’s spirit.
"Roger, you always want Kahn to die and not hinder your way, right?" Sui Xiong
coldly said, "Right now, he has died. Do you have any opinion?"
"His death is too late." Roger had finally awakened from the Seduction Magic as he
said gloomily, "What is the point of his leaving when I am about to die?!"
"Now, do you think you could have succeeded if he didn’t exist from the beginning?"
"Without a doubt!"
Sui Xiong grimly smiled and swung up his tentacle. The magic light fell strongly on
Roger’s head.
"So, why don’t we take a look..."
