EVIL SYSTEM

"Wow, that almost killed you!"

Iván heard footsteps and a mocking voice, but he was still in shock, so he just sat on the floor with his eyes wide open.

Rudolf approached and inspected Ben, who neither moved nor flinched at his touches.

It's already at its last legs.

Rudolf lifted his head, grabbing him by the hair and looked him in the face. He looked at the collection of heads at his waist, including his own daughter's.

One of the twins' heads was on the floor next to a shirt.

He seemed indifferent to the death of his own daughter and nephews.

"You have been an excellent prey!" Rudolf nodded. "You defied the odds and even killed some of our members."

Rudolf patted Ben's cheek a little and congratulated him. "Look at Ivan." After this experience, he will no longer be the same, he will become stronger and that's all that matters.

"The Force is everything!!"

Ben's eyes trembled a little and he looked at him, but he didn't even have the strength to look at him with hatred.

"Ethan!" Rudolf let go of Ben's head and turned halfway back in the direction he had come from.

Hidden behind a tree was Ethan, watching the whole scene with wide eyes and trembling with fear.

"Come here, son!" Rudolf called him with a very kind smile. That smile he always used, the one that used to bring him so much confidence.

Ethan didn't move from his spot and just stood there trembling.

Rudolf's expression changed immediately and he walked towards him very quickly.

In his stride, his fury was evident, and before Ethan could justify himself and obey his order. Rudolf grabbed him by the neck, threw him against the tree with great force, and made the air leave his lungs.

"Dad!!" Ethan tried to talk to him, but Rudolf grabbed him by the arm and, right before his pleading eyes, applied a lot of force and broke it.

"Arggggg!! Dad, please let me go!!" "Please!! Please!!"

Iván stood up and watched as Rudolf hit Ethan with a disapproving look.

"Hey, just leave it." Iván tried to intervene, but all he got was a cold glare from his brother. "Don't interfere in the raising of my children."

Rudolf spent a minute beating Ethan before putting a knife to his throat. "Either you cut that dying man's throat, or I cut yours."

Rudolf lowered the knife and placed it in Ethan's only uninjured hand.

Ethan looked at the knife, at his father, and then at Ben, who looked worse and worse.

His mind was in a dilemma, a struggle of morality and survival.

Seeing that his father was getting impatient, Ethan dropped the knife.

Rudolf's expression twisted with anger, but before he could do anything, Ethan approached and took a butcher knife from his waist.

"Oh?" Rudolf raised an eyebrow but then nodded with a smile. "Good choice."

Ethan walked slowly towards Ben. Each step felt as heavy as a mountain, and with each step, he felt he was shedding his own humanity.

His legs and hands trembled, he almost seemed unable to hold himself or the knife.

"I'm sorry!" Tears fell from Ethan's big eyes. "I don't want to do it! I really don't want to!!"

Ethan grabbed the knife with both hands but couldn't take the final step.

He took a deep breath to muster his courage and raised the knife just as his eyes met Ben's.

That second when their eyes met was all it took for Ethan's determination to vanish.

The knife kept going, and Ben's eyes widened completely as he felt the pain.

His eyes went down to his chest, there was the knife and what he saw left him in shock.

She looked up and stared intently at Ethan.

"That's it, son!!" Rudolf celebrated with a big smile on his face. But Iván furrowed his brows with a bad feeling.

"Kill him!! Kill him!!" Screams of panic and horror were heard from a distance.

Rudolf and Iván turned around and saw Grigor running in panic from a distance. He seemed to be making a lot of hand gestures, trying to convey something to them.

"Kill him now!!!"

"What is he talking about?" Rudolf frowned in confusion. "Who does he want to kill?" If it's the prey, Ethan already took care of that.

"Cut off his head!!" Their screams kept coming, and Iván couldn't help but feel a chill.

He turned halfway around to look at Ben and Ethan.

"!!!It can't be!!!" Her eyes widened in disbelief and she stumbled backward.

Without giving any explanation or even a word, he crawled in panic on the ground and broke into a run into the distance without a fixed direction, simply away from that place.

Rudolf watched these events with increasing confusion.

Grigor seemed increasingly urgent and in a desperate act, he drew the axe from his back and threw it with all his might.

Rudolf followed the axe with his eyes.

The axe passed by his side and went straight towards Ben.

The axe spun and spun in the air, and when it was just a few centimeters away from splitting Ben's head in two... A hand was raised and stopped the axe halfway.

Rudolf opened his eyes upon realizing that the hand belonged to Ben.

The prey that was supposed to be dead had raised its hand and stopped the axe at the cost of its own integrity.

The hand was practically cut in half with blood oozing from it.

But what caught his attention most was that the hand was no longer in handcuffs.

Clank clank

The sound of chains hitting the ground echoed through the forest, and only then did Rudolf realize that Ethan was standing near Ben with a set of keys in his hands.

Rudolf touched his waist and froze.

He remembered the moment when Ethan took the butcher's knife from his waist and understood immediately.

"Little treacherous brat!!"

¡¡Crashhhhhh!!

A thunderclap echoed through the forest as the lightning illuminated the clearing.

Almost like a warning, a cold omen of what was to come.

One of the fingers on Ben's severed hand was moving strangely.

Others might think it was a reflex effect of immense pain, but something appeared in Ben's eyes.
