Chapter 131 131:A Grand Scheme
In the prestige school of Verdantis
"Look! It's the heir of Lambert "A boy shouted down the hallway.
"Just how pathetic he had become now after the fall of Lambert."
"You are nothing but a piece of shit without your family."
Laughter and mockery echoed across the hallway as Steve carried on walking down the school corridor. Harassment had become a daily occurrence for him but it still bothered him just as much every day and he couldn't help himself but retaliate.
Everything had been going well when all of a sudden, they were struck with thunder when they received the letter about his Grandfather being a traitor who helped the Vampire to escape here.
Steve felt the ground beneath him crack as he couldn't acknowledge that that loving old man couldn't do something like this.
His death was followed by the fall of mighty Lambert and it didn't even take a week for all those business houses to be crushed, going bankrupt while his parents were further imprisoned for further investigations.
The other families who were suppressed under their rules turned their sharp fangs upon them.
The workers and servants below stole everything they could and ran away.
And amidst all this, Steve an 18-year-old was left behind to deal with all this but he was powerless as he couldn't even cultivate due to his mortal roots.
Even though he was trash, at least he had a huge family before but now that the tree shading him had been uprooted, so he had to bear the rain and storm by himself.
Steve stopped and pushed his glasses back up as they had slipped down from his face. He needed a new pair and just from looking at them, you could tell they were heavily damaged.
BOOM!
Steve stumped as empty can hit him again. Being a target to practice had become a daily routine for him.
Steve, unable to take it anymore, turned around and immediately gave the middle finger.
"Just go and suck yourself, fucker cause no one would do so because of your small dick."
The boy clenched his fist and started running towards Steve."What did you say?"
Steve raised his arms over his head and assumed a boxing stance, threw a hook but the boy with a grin tilted his head swiftly evading the blow and throwing an uppercut
Steven managed to evade it but his specks went flying after which his vision became dizzy.
"When are you going to learn that you don't belong in this world?"
The boy then placed both of his hands together and a mass of light started to form, a proof of his Tied 1 cultivation.
When he was only a few meters away from Steve, the boy threw his hands forward and the bright light shot out from the palm of his hands.
"Why did we have to suffer so much for your recklessness?"
"Damn! Just why am I so unlucky?"
After going through a period of emotional drama, he stopped on hearing a ding from the outside.
On going out, he saw a delivery man holding a parcel.
"You have a delivery and a letter Sir, "The man muttered with a pleasant smile wiping his sweat.
"Hmmn" Steven and signed to take the package.
The delivery man frowned seeing this and then glanced at the young boy.
"Ar....Are you Lambert?"
"No, I am not. We just have the same surname."Steve feigned ignorance and shut the door on the delivery man's space.
Walking inside, he tore through the package.
The letter was his approval for military enlistment while the other was a small black one.
Steven went to lie on his bed and then turned the TV that was currently tuned onto the news.
[A shadow zone had been discovered which had formed in Honshu near Mt Fuji in Elysium. Things had started becoming chaotic as the shadow zone seemed to have been slowly opening up. The government of Elysium had taken swift action and had already started evacuation to create a no-man zone and the military outpost had started crafting]
Steven kept the box aside for a moment. Though he was curious he didn't have many expectations about the content.
But little did he know that his life was gonna take a huge turnaround after he opened the box cause once he opened it, he would never be the same again.
