Chapter 9: Accusation?

Chapter 9: Accusation?

"You know we are family, and family should always share. It wouldn't make sense if you had something and your little sister has nothing..."

Caroline tried to guilt-trip Leon into sharing the healing spell with her. She had some training in medicine, but a healing spell would be a game-changer for her.

"Oh? What if I don't want to share?"

Leon asked Phoebe with a tinge of Mockery. She was only just now realizing that Leon was her senior brother? She forgot all the times she had treated the previous Leon poorly? Now she wanted him to share? That was absolutely stupid of her!!

"Don't be stubborn. You know my boyfriend, Byand, is part of the guards. If I let them know you stole from an elder, they will punish you."

Byand wasn't really her boyfriend but, Phoebe said this, knowing that Byand could be used as a form of pressure to get what she wanted. She was determined to obtain the healing spell by any means necessary. It was a unique spell that could elevate their family's status. It couldn't be left with a former crippled fool.

"You're threatening me?"

Leon smiled widely, it was a normal smile but for some reason it felt like it held a bulk load malicious intent. She immediately felt startled. Never had she felt like this before.

"It's not a threat Leon, It's merely a warning"

From the door of the cabin, Caroline walked in and said. Behind her were a group of guards in leather armor.

"Ah? I see"

Leon looked on and shook his head, this talk, he knew it was from Caroline if not phoebe wouldn't dare ask him for something like that. It was Caroline's wish.

"Come with us."

Two guards approached Leon, and without waiting for his response, they grabbed him by the arms and lifted him. His scrawny body made it difficult to struggle.

"Hey, let go of him!"

Leon's father who was seated randomly at the side, stood up and prepared to stop the guards. However, two large figures blocked him and held both of his hands.

It was Byand's senior brother and Byand himself, they were here to ensure that no one interfered.

Leon asked, looking at Caroline and Phoebe mockingly.

"Haha, why not? Byand, throw the wh*re off the train for being such a bad stepmother."

The fourth elder commanded Byand, and immediately Byand sprang into action, grabbing Caroline. To them, both Caroline and Phoebe were not as important as the spell.

"What the hell? You can't do this!"

Caroline struggled, but Byand was too strong. Even Phoebe tried to stop Byand but failed.

"Okay, you can stop. I don't want to kill them yet."

Chuckling, Leon shook his head and asked Byand to stop. He just wanted to have a good laugh, as he knew the fourth elder would throw them under the bus for the sake of profit.

"Okay, Byand, drop her."

The fourth elder commanded Byand to let Caroline go. He then looked back at Leon and smiled. This dark sense of humour fitted the fourth elder's personality, he had begun to like Leon.

"Okay, Leon, tell me, do we have a deal?"

The elder looked at Leon and waited for his answer, as they attempted to strike a deal. Leon decided to play along.

"Why not? Just give me a moment."

Leon took a few steps back, but suddenly, he stopped and grabbed a pole in the middle of the cabin.

"Hm?"

Seeing Leon's strange action, the elder frowned, unable to predict what would happen next.

—Pheeeeee, Boommmnm!!!!!!!!!!!!

A massive light shone, and in an instant, the cabin was sliced in half and torn from the main body of the World Traversing Serpent.
