Chapter 60: Too weak! Calm before the storm
Chapter 60
Seeing his stare and gaze, she was becoming more and more infuriated.
"Was the lesson we taught you last time not good enough?"
She pulled him closer and whispered slowly with a cruel smirk.
Oliver's hand trembled in anger as he had the urge to slap the cheek close to him.
He endured and did not lose his temper; going wild here was not the best considering the presence of so many witnesses.
Whether he wants to accept it or not, these little bastards were supposed to be the elder siblings, and if he, a nobody acted wild against them, then not only will he face prejudice but also lose the advantage of hiding his powers from others so far.
It was better to deal with them once the hunt started.
Hearing no response from him, she felt that he was now scared of her.
"Be grateful that we allowed you to live another day... know your place and never look us in the eye again in the future."
She pushed him back with some considerable force, intending to make him fall on the ground.
But to her surprise, he just stepped back as if he did not even feel her push.
And in fact, this was indeed the case, he did not even feel her push because of the great disparity in their overall strength.
Noticing that Oliver was still looking at her right in the eye as if her previous words meant nothing, a vein popped on her forehead.
Oliver looked at her and said, "That's it? Too weak"
He intentionally provoked her, letting the surrounding crowd hear them.
"You-!"
"Stop it, you're causing a scene."
Shane put his hand on her shoulder and stopped her from acting any further than this.
She might not be aware but she was just making a fool of herself in front of the children of the vessel family.
They were expected to be above them always and now Oliver's clear lack of respect even after a warning was just making it worse for them.
If he wanted, he could have let his sister teach him a lesson and make an example out of him.
But it would only make them look barbaric and unreasonable—in the end, they might have lesser support than their other siblings.
While they valued strength above everything, it did not mean they were barbarians, they were nobles who followed after strength.
"Shane, let me be. I will make an example out of this bastard today...!" She gritted her teeth in anger.
Oliver simply looked at her in the eyes as if giving a provocation, he would not attack her but if she did then he would resist and fight back.
He was prepared to do so.
Shane looked at his sister and whispered, "There are many people here, plus the elders would be arriving anytime now. We can deal with him during the hunt."
His words seemed to reason with her as she calmed down and looked at Oliver with a cruel glint in her eyes, she would make sure that he would become a cripple after the hunt for sure.
With that, he took her away from the crowd. Oliver sneered, he wanted to see what would she do? Let the hunt start first, then he would deal with them.
Oliver also diverted his mind, his mood was now bad because of this encounter, although he appeared calm, his hand was trembling slightly in anger, he really wanted to pounce on them and beat them ten times worse than they did to him.
He looked around and instinctively activated [Cosmic Void Gaze] and felt the espera of the children around, determining any potential opponents.
Due to this, he found that all the children present here had a decent level of espera for their age. It was understandable as the vessel families sent their best kids out for this event after all.
The age range was five to ten years old for this event and if he was not wrong he came in the youngest group.
It was ridiculous to let children participate in such a terrifying game of hunting but this was not the world that could be understood by common sense.
This was the clan of the best exorcists around the world and likewise, the children must also be the best among the best.
Intellect, strength, influence, everything must be controlled since a young age.
"Haha..."
He let out a laugh as he felt a great amount of espera radiating from some of the children, these were definitely the cream of the crop even among the crowd.
He even spotted the second brother of his as well in the corner and found his espera had increased as compared to before.
Oliver suddenly felt his eyes narrow as he noticed a glowing lump of massive espera in the corner.
Short white hair... emotionless expression...
It was Nadia, she was also there.
He deactivated the special eyes and walked towards her and found her standing alone.
The other children did not dare to come too close to her and were maintaining a sort of invisible distance.
"Hey?"
He called out to her making her flinch slightly.
She turned around, her expression as cold as it could get.
And why not? She had warned him repeatedly to not even approach her. But this guy still dared to call out to her in this massive crowd. Was he stupid?
She looked at him as if looking at an insect and her gaze was terrifying.
'Oh, fuck! She's so scary!'
His heart almost skipped a beat due to the strong intensity of the gaze, he felt slight chills on his back.
"Oh my god! Look over there. This guy actually dared to call out to Miss Nadia."
"He is done for. Is he really an idiot?"
"Causally approaching Miss Naida, this idiot must be courting death for sure."
The people around were shocked and whispered about this.
"Even if he's the twin sibling... he's still being too bold."
However, contrary to everyone's expectation of him getting beaten up, something else happened.
Nadia did not do anything and simply walked away.
This scene shocked the onlookers a lot.
"Uh? Did Miss Nadia just walk away?"
"That's it?"
"What? I was expecting her to teach him his place."
"You're all foolish, why would she beat someone just because they approached her?"
A somewhat normal-brained girl asked which quickly shut them up.
"...."
"Right. Why would she...? Haha!"
"O-Of course, why would she...? Only a brainless person would do something like that!"
Another one said, not knowing that they were all expecting that to happen making them categorized as brainless.
"She's too generous and let him go."
