Strange Worlds-Chapter 218: Their Determination (3)

In his opinion, Aya was at most as strong as rank 4 magic warrior because she could spar on equal grounds against Silas. And Silas was only a rank 4 magic warrior.

His son might be weaker.

This was something that the Black Family Patriarch had known and had long felt dissatisfied with.

When Leon was arranged by the Fourth Head of the Wansu City to be in the same team with the other three big families, the Black Family Patriarch felt happy. Because this meant that his son was also one of the geniuses acknowledged by the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

Yet at the same time, the Black Family Patriarch knew that Leon had to practice harder.

The word ’genius’ is not so easy to bear.

And the result of the practice was that Leon was still the weakest in his team. It seemed as if his friends were all leaving him behind, making Leon feel unacceptable.

He had always challenged Evan when they were young and their strength were more or less the same. The two of them would go back and forth all the time, with their victory over each other changed interchangeably.

But in the past few months, it has always been Evan’s victory.

Leon has been annoyed because he was really weak and this time, he was hit even harder when he watched how Aya managed to fight against that magic warrior while he and the others couldn’t do anything. They couldn’t even follow their movements and stood like stupid people there.

It was Aya who gave them the order.

And later on, Leon watched as Silas dealt with so many ghosts at the same time and the balance in his heart was broken.

How come they were all so powerful while he himself was so weak like this?

He couldn’t accept it.

Leon hated his weakness more than anything else.

So facing the angry Black Family Patriarch, Leon was silent and accepted his father’s scolding. He didn’t know how to refute anyway and there was no point in refuting.

He was indeed very weak.

"Tsk." the Black Family Patriarch was even more annoyed when he saw Leon’s appearance. "You stay here, I’ll talk to you later after going to see the Fourth Head."

While the Black Family Patriarch was dissatisfied with his son’s performance, he still had to go and see the Fourth Head of the Wansu City. There were many things that he had to vent towards the Fourth Head of the Wansu City and made sure that he could get more benefits for his family.

After all, the Black Family Patriarch couldn’t let his family suffer for nothing.

Besides, being assassinated by someone from other cities and in such a timing, the Black Family Patriarch had to find out how the information about their missions leaked out.

In the past year, there were already many missions that the children took. But these missions were mostly around Wansu City and rarely went far.

Just when they went a bit further away, someone came and cause trouble?

the Black Family Patriarch would never believe this is coincidence.

So they had to go and greet the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

Bang!

Leon stayed in the kneeling position for some time after his father left and slowly stood up. He turned around and saw his younger sister, Lilac, standing there. For some reasons, Leon disliked the look in Lilac’s eyes and snorted.

"I don’t need your pity, Lilac."

"Brother, I..." Lilac frowned and wanted to explain, but Leon had already turned around and walked towards the training room.

"I’m going to train, don’t disturb me."

With that, Leon walked inside the training room and slammed the door shut. Sensing the dense dark element around him, Leon gritted his teeth and sat down. He knew very well that his entire body would hurt if he meditated for a long time in this environment.

But what can he do?

Leon wanted to get stronger.

He knew very well that if things continued like this, it was not only his father’s disappointment that he had to face. But also the abuse of his enemies when he faced them.

So he had to train.

He wanted to surpass Silas and Aya.

This dream might seem unreasonable considering their difference in strength, but Leon didn’t care. Being hit so badly in this battle, the one and only thing that Silas wanted to do was to train and get stronger.

So much so that he would never be defeated by others anymore in his entire life.

"Ugh."

The dark element seeped into his body and Leon felt searing pain but he kept his eyes firm and continued to infuse more and more dark element into his body.

It was painful.

But it was not as big as the pain he felt when he realized that he couldn’t do anything and had to stand at the back while the others fought.

How could he be willing?

Even if he was more of a control type of magic warrior instead of pure strength or intelligence, Leon would never accept this situation.

He had to get stronger!

With that, Leon endured the pain and continued to train.

...

The Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s side

To be honest, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was also shocked when he heard the news of these geniuses being assassinated. While he was indeed wary of the four big families, but if he dared to do anything like this, he would never be able to stay.

He also didn’t want to destroy Wansu City’s future.

So the Fourth Head of the Wansu City would try his best to make sure that the missions they took were not too dangerous.

There was indeed a saying that the real gold has to be tempered by fire, but the Fourth Head of the Wansu City didn’t dare to bring these children to the fire.

There would be people who would roast him first!

So when these patriarchs came one by one, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City could only console them and agreed with their requests. His heart was bleeding when he thought about the compensation that these patriarchs asked from him, but the Fourth Head of the Wansu City couldn’t do anything.

Who leaked this news?

Thinking about this, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City felt a headache.

When the Fourth Head of the Wansu City finally sent the last patriarch, the Black Family Patriarch, away, he collapsed on his chair.
