"How dare you, a loser like you, argue with us?" A young man spat on the ground as he spoke. At his feet lay another young man covered in injuries. This man was Linton.
The person chosen who will get the halo of the protagonist is Edmund Marlowe.
Edmund's condition at this time was not very good. He was beaten all over and was even vomiting blood in his mouth. The cause of the matter was also very simple. Today, several young men from the family came to the suburbs to hunt. This world advocates force.
As a family sport, hunting can test the martial prowess of several people, so if you shine in hunting, you will naturally be noticed by the senior family members.
As one of the few illegitimate children who stood out among a large number of illegitimate children, Edmund was naturally very talented, otherwise he would not have been brought into the family to raise, so after the hunting began, he obtained a lot of prey. However, soon
Yes, trouble is coming. Others in the clan will naturally be unhappy when they see this illegitimate child making such a grand progress. Why do you have the right to show your face?
So several people discussed and surrounded Edmund here. A group of family members beat Edmund directly and took away all the things he hunted. Although Edmund had some talent, the opponent
Several people beat him up, but he really didn't dare to hit him hard, because there was a gap in identity. How dare you hurt a member of the family? If the other party made a fuss, he would be kicked out of the family at the least, or...
Edmund didn't dare to make a fuss. Yes, he had encountered such a thing when he first came here. He had already made a fuss, but he soon understood that although they were of the same blood, the people in the clan and his illegitimate son were not the same.
The same thing. And everyone is deliberately letting this situation go. The purpose is to let these illegitimate children understand the importance of this surname. Otherwise, why would they work for you for the rest of their lives just for this surname?
This is how all illegitimate children are tamed. Edmund is actually fast. Soon, he will become numb, and then begin his lifelong pursuit of "family approval", which means giving the family a lifetime of recognition.
After a lot of work, he finally got the name he wanted.
But after all, he was young, and the young man was still bloody. After being beaten, he curled up in a ball and did not dare to fight back casually. However, his eyes were fixed on the leading young man. He was not willing to accept it. Of course, the young man who beat him also
Seeing the look in Edmund's eyes, of course he was not afraid at all, but he struck even harder. This was not the first time he had beaten an illegitimate child like this.
Finally, perhaps because the teenagers were tired from fighting, everyone took the prey and left one after another. Edmund huddled on the ground for a while before he recovered. After trying a little, his whole body was so painful that he couldn't stand up at all.
, I could only sit against the tree next to me.
The more Ren thought about it, the angrier he became. Edmund was in this situation now. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. When he was first selected into the family, he thought he had finally come to an end. After all, not every illegitimate child can return.
When he came to the family, he thought that his good days were about to begin, but now he realized that he had entered a hell. Some people said that you would be fine if you ran away, but it didn't work. Now he is considered a servant of the family, can you
Did you run away privately? Unless the family members drive you away, it is almost impossible to escape intact. The family members are not that stupid and can they let you leave easily?
While Edmund was thinking, he clenched his right hand tightly, his fist was shaking constantly, and it almost made blood. But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from in front of him: "Are you willing?"
"Who?" Edmund's reaction was normal. He was surprised and wanted to stand up. However, the injury was too serious, so he immediately sat down. However, his fighting skills were not bad. His right hand immediately touched a stone next to him, and he
Completed certain combat moves.
"I ask, are you willing?" At this time, a figure slowly walked out from in front of Edmund. Of course, the person who came was Linton. At this time, Linton was wrapped in a robe and looked very much like a suspicious person.
Of course, Edmund's first reaction was that Linton was not a good person either.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" Edmund asked.
"I can help you." Linton said.
"You want to deal with the Narcisse family, right?" Edmund said immediately.
I have to say that Edmund was not stupid, and he was very vigilant. He immediately guessed Linton's purpose. But Linton just smiled and said, "I just want to make a deal with you."
"What deal?" Edmund asked immediately. Of course, he didn't say he agreed. He probably just wanted to hear it and get more information.
"Although you are very talented, you are only slightly stronger than ordinary people. If they have the same resources, the growth of those young people in the clan will definitely not be as good as yours." Linton said, "However, you are just an illegitimate child.
, it is impossible for you to obtain the same resources as them, and in the end you will only become a dog raised by the Narcisse family, you should also know that."
"..." Edmund didn't say anything, and of course he didn't deny it, indicating his acquiescence.
"Weakness is the original sin." Linton said, "Your strength is nothing in front of the family. If you want to gain more, you must become stronger, and I can bring you strength."
"What... do you want me to do?" Edmund thought for a moment and asked.
"There is something I want. This thing is at Narcisse's house, but I don't know where it is. It may be in a treasure house or something." Linton said, "I can make you gain strength, and gain
After gaining strength, your status in the family will be improved. I want you to find out the whereabouts of this thing and bring it to me."
"What is it?" Edmund asked.
"A glowing ball." Linton said, "But there is no rush. Your primary goal now is to improve your status within the family."
Edmund seemed to think about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you."
"Smart choice." Linton nodded and said. Of course, although he agreed, Linton also knew that he was definitely not sincere. Who would believe him when this person appeared out of nowhere?
Demong also knew that he might not be able to go back alive. He was beaten to death by a family member before. If he really died, it might not be found that it was someone else who did it. Maybe he would just be beaten to death by a few family members.
, and if he, an illegitimate son, dies, how can he still ask those children of the family to pay with their lives? Of course it is impossible.
Even if it is to save his life, Edmund can only nod. Of course, he also wants to try the power Linton said, just in case it can really change his destiny. As for what Linton said he wants, that will come later.
Things will depend on the situation at that time. Maybe you can use this person who wants to deal with the family to make both sides kill each other, and you can benefit from it.
In short, Edmund's only choice at present is to cooperate. Of course, Linton is not very strange, and he doesn't care whether Edmund here really wants to cooperate. After the other party nodded, Linton waved his hand directly, and the ground next to him
A pit appeared, using a simple earth escape ninjutsu.
"Go in and lie down." Linton directly picked up Edmund here. Of course, Edmund was a little panicked and wanted to resist, but he was seriously injured and couldn't move. Seeing that the other person easily lifted him
When he picked it up, Edmund also knew that he was no match, so he simply held back and was thrown into the pit by Linton obediently.
"Are you going to bury yourself alive?" Edmund's first reaction was this, but before he could make any move, Linton directly took out a fruit-like thing that glowed purple.
, although Edmund didn’t know what it was, but just by seeing it, he felt that this thing was not simple.
"Drink the juice of this fruit, and I will bury you in a while. If successful, you will be reborn and gain new strength." Linton said.
"If that doesn't work...will I die?" Edmund asked.
"Of course, do you think it's that simple to make you stand up?" Linton said, "If you want to gain strength, you have to be prepared to pay the price with your life. Isn't this fair? By the way, you have no choice.
,If you don’t cooperate, you will die.”
"Then...come on." Edmund nodded.
"If you survive, go back to the family first and wait. I will come back to you later. Of course, it is best if you can gain some status in the family by then. If there is no progress, I will not be a useless person.
I'll keep it," Linton said.
"I understand." Of course Edmund could only continue to agree.
Linton directly squeezed the heart-shaped fruit in his hand, and the fruit here quickly turned into purple juice. Edmund had no choice but to drink the juice. Soon, his body responded
, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he entered a state of deep sleep. Linton looked at the situation, and then turned his hand over, and the soil next to him quickly gathered up, burying Edmund.
The next thing is to wait. Yes, Linton's main purpose is of course not the so-called thing to get, that is completely made up. What Linton wants is Edmund to make trouble. Linton is still very sure about this.
Yes, once a person who has been oppressed for a long time gains extraordinary power, his first reaction will definitely be to retaliate against society, without him keeping an eye on him. Of course, what should you do if you really encounter someone who is very scheming, especially someone who can't be tolerated by the government?
?That doesn't matter. Linton can still trick others into causing trouble for him and force him to take action. And judging from the current situation, this Edmund is probably not the kind of person who particularly needs "help."
And after he took action, what Linton had to do was his duty as a good citizen of Chaoyang District, which was to report it.
