Alia cleared her throat and advised Roy, “Although they are as old as you, they look like young kids who have just hit puberty. I believe, they need to be well fed first. It isn’t easy to trust others after what they have been through. But if we treat them kindly out of the goodness of our heart, they’ll eventually co to trust us and open up to us.”
“That sounds good.” Roy knew it. She was good with people. Asking her advice was the right choice. “Let’s go along with that.”
“Bang!”
Just then, the door to his room was forced open, and in ca a fashionably dressed man who shared the sa blood as him.
Roy looked at the rude bastard, and imdiately, his blood boiled in anger.
He was the person who had killed him once.
He was his half-brother, Noah!
The door to the room was kicked open right when Julian finished completing a magic scroll called “Video Recorder” under Delilah’s supervision.
This sudden disturbance scared him so much that he pissed himself like a mage, aning mana leaked out of his sea of magic..
Not controlled by him, this mana found a way out of his body imdiately. It ca out of his fingertips.
Then, it swirled down the brush in his hand, reaching the edge of its many bristles before sliding off of them and dripping into the magic paper like droplets of water.
The specks of mana were seen sinking into the magic paper, infusing it with itself.
As a result, it glowed slightly, signifying that it had activated.
It will record everything that takes place in its surroundings.
The glow was covered by Julian’s figure. No one except for him saw it.
Finding out that he had activated it without wanting to, Julian felt so angry that his face contorted like a person with a haemorrhage suffering from diarrhea. He unconsciously tightened the palm in which he held a brush into a fist.
“My fifteen minutes of hard work have gone to waste.” Julian cried internally.
This magic scroll was complex to create as two different types of magic circles needed to be drawn and intertwined on one sheet.
He had sweated profusely and exhausted his brain power to get it done in under half an hour in order to impress Roy. However, it was indirectly wasted by the rude bastard person who forced himself in.
“Who the fuck knocked down the fucking door!” Julian said as he stood up and turned around to look at the newcor.
A pair of sharp eyes spitting venomous emotions stared at him in the eyes with the ferocity of a beast, imdiately causing his stomach, which was inflated with anger, to deflate.
“I did.” Noah eyed the boy like a snake, “Why, do you have a problem with that?”
These words were spoken softly, but Julian felt threatened.
Goosebumps rose on his skin as if to tell him he was endangered when Noah’s eyes road all over his body offensively.
“N-no.” Julian stuttered out and nervously took a step back, coming into close contact with the table.
Noah didn’t move his eyes away from the nervous boy as if he wasn’t done dealing with him. “Don’t you have anything else to say?”
Julian understood what he desired and slightly bowed to him, “Forgive for my crudeness. I shouldn’t have said that to you.”
Seeing him like that because of him, Noah felt pleased.
Their exchange was witnessed by three pairs of eyes.
“Are you planning to drill a hole in him with your gaze?” Roy asked sarcastically.
Noah’s attention shifted from Julian to him.
“Brother of mine, have you missed ?” He asked with a smile.
Roy chuckled in a dangerously low voice, “Who would miss their bully?”
Noah’s expression didn’t tighten, nor did he feel offended by what Roy said.
“Indeed, you’ve no reason to.” This was maybe the first ti he agreed with Roy. “We don’t share any good mories together after all.”
“And… we never will!” Roy’s penetrating voice entered Noah’s ear, making him feel uncomfortable, but he didn’t let that show on his face.
Roy’s fingers tapped the armrest of the chair he was in, his emotionless eyes never leaving Noah’s figure.
“Why do you think so? I’m sure I will make many good mories with you starting today.” Noah said, “They will be good for and unpleasant for you.”
Indirectly threatened by him, made Roy’s brows draw together.
“Why have you co looking for ?” Roy asked in a voice thick with anger.
Noah ignored this change in his emotions and continued poking him with words, “As soon as I returned to the County, I heard rumours about you winning big ti in the gambling event held in the auction house. In exchange for 30k worth of mine stones, you got 1.5 million worth of rune stones. The probability of that happening is around 1%. No matter how much I think about it, your luck is too bad to achieve sothing like that.” Their eyes t. “So… how true is that?”
“As true as you being a psychopath.”
This was how Roy wanted to reply to Noah.
But, to avoid unnecessary confrontation with a rank-1 mage, he changed his reply to a more formal one.
“The news of my winnings has spread throughout the empire, seeing how even you are aware of it.”
“So… you really did win!” Noah’s eyes brightened in joy because of Roy’s confirmation. “Since a ntally challenged person like you can do such a thing, doesn’t that an that the saying that goes like, “everyone has sothing they’re good at and they only need to find out what it is and engage in it to prove their worth,” is true?”
Hearing his words pissed off Alia, and she raised her head to give him a stern stare. “Master is no longer innocent like a child! Stop looking down on him!!”
At the sa ti, Swift Death also glared at Noah, “Don’t poke fun at him if you don’t want to lose your tongue.”
Noah looked at them, amazed. His eyes lowered from the two maids to Roy. “Wow, you must be sothing to have two won stand up for you. But if hiding behind won is all you can do, this brother of yours will be disappointed.”
“You lost your right to be my brother when you aid for my life.” Roy accused him.
