Chapter 409: Poor Bastard
“No, you can go OK! We girls need some private time!” the girls said as she kicked Roy out of the VIP hospital room and then shut the door.
“Ungrateful spoiled bitches...” he sighed with a smile, shaking his head and then turning to see his mother who was standing in the corridor raising her eyebrow at him. Shit... They didn’t tell him she arrived.
“I didn't mean my sisters....” he quickly corrected himself.
“Save it for the jury...” she said coldly.
“You are going to tell them?” Roy shivered, if his sisters knew he cursed at them behind their backs, he would have to suffer big time. Those girls were raised by hookers and they knew how to torture a man!
“Depends...” his mother said, looking at the VIP room’s door and then at him again. “Did you meet your father? Didn’t I tell you not to beg for help from him?” she said with a complex look.
“I haven't met him yet, the one who helped me was one of my sisters...” he said.
“Thank her for me...” his mother said directly.
“I will,” he nodded. “Why are you avoiding him?” he finally asked, meaning his father.
“...Adult stuff...” she sighed, looking out of the large corridor window.
“Did he cheat on you or something?” Roy smirked. His father did have many wives.
“I cheated on him...” she replied directly with a melancholic voice, seemingly regretting her past choices when she didn’t believe Theodore when he told her that he would take care of her.
“Oh...” Roy knew that he better not inquire any further.
“Did they finish with the tests or whatever they called you here for?” She quickly changed the subject.
“The tests are on pause as we have to wait until father and my other brothers return... They gave us a vacation of some sort...” he shrugged. His father was delayed for some reason, Rex was hurt and Lara seemed to have school. With most of the heirs needing some time to heal up, George decided to put the tests on pause.
“I see!” she sighed again. “Then go enjoy your vacation... I don’t think your sisters would allow you in the room anytime soon...” she smirked. The girls were discussing girly things, and they didn’t want their big brother’s stupid opinions... The last time he cursed at that mass wedding they had been following, they decided not to let him in on their secrets anymore.
“I know.... Did you have lunch?” he asked.
“I already ordered with your sisters,” she said.
“Then see you in the evening,” he said before heading toward the hospital’s exit without looking back. Thankfully his sister’s operation went well and she was healing perfectly. He really owed Iris big for this.
BAM...
He turned a corner and bumped into someone.
“Ah sorry...” he said, looking at the pretty girl in a hospital gown who fell to the floor, he hurried and helped her.
“Don’t worry about it...” she said, grabbing her phone as she checked him. “Now get away from me! Poor beggar!” she cursed and walked away after noticing his clothes.
“Ahh... I am not...”
“Don’t talk to me....” she scolded and went away talking on the phone. “Sorry, some poor bastard tried to grope me.... Anyway, Yes, my brother Abe seemed to have got some sort of money scheme going on...............................” her voice trailed off.
He shook his head. What a bitch! Thankfully his sisters didn’t grow up to be like her.
Leaving the hospital, he looked around not knowing where to go. Maybe he should find some restaurant and have a meal. Nah... The food in the Mansion was 1000 times better than any hospital.
Walking aimlessly he began to check the city.
Vein City was one of the biggest cities around, rivaling even the capital. It was very famous for its media-oriented industries, so looking around, he could see all kinds of people in luxurious clothing walking around.
Well, the hospital he was in was in the most luxurious place in town.
Thinking for a moment, he turned and began heading to the other side of the city. If you want to know a city’s real face, you have to check its poorest neighborhoods. That's what he told himself anyway.
To tell the truth, having lived all his life in a poor environment, Roy felt more comfortable in such places where he grew up and became strong enough to fend for himself.
Walking around he began inspecting the people from the passerby, the peddlers, and the casual gangsters and hookers hanging around old dirty corners that led into some filthy back alleys.
The thing that made him feel strange was the way all the gangsters seemed to tie steel plates on their crotches and butts. Was this some kind of faction?
Then he paused as he noticed some other strange thing that didn’t fit in with the picture. A group of little girls in school uniforms were following some evil-looking man who had an evil smile plastered on his face. They were being led by none other than his little sister. Lara who seemed to be talking to that man... No, more likely she was getting scammed!
Shit!
He wanted to go help, starting to run in Lara’s direction, but paused taking three steps, remembering the pain in his arm.
Slowing down, he decided to just follow her from behind.
Still, just in case, he took the phone and called Iris. Although he didn’t know Lara for long, she was a very nice girl, and as the elder brother he had to take care of her.
“What are you doing...... AH!”
Some people wanted to cause trouble like Simon, but they were neutralized in seconds by some kind of thunder that decided above them from the barrier in the sky.
“Just stay in your place!” the young man repeated in a soft voice.
No one dared to make trouble after that. They just wondered what the fuck was going on!
“MASTER MIKE! YOU ARE ALIVE!” someone who finally seemed to have recognized the young man suddenly said in an excited voice.
“Yes... We all are.... Just stay put for now...” Mike said. “We will know everything later!” he added with a reassuring smile.
“Yes...” Many young men nodded with a smile. After recognizing Mike they relaxed. Many even seemed to have realized what was going on!
Zed and Zola didn’t... They frowned, they were worried about their mother, wanting to ask what the fuck was going on. Then they heard it.
BANG!
An Explosion rocked the Arena as the VIP hall above shattered in a ball of green fire and a woman flew out.
“ANN YOU BITCH, YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED DOWN THERE LIKE YOUR ARROGANT SISTER!” the woman said.
“Tolin... Just surrender...” another woman replied as she slowly floated in mid-air while taking a pill. From her voice, Zed could tell that she was the one they heard before. Was she Ann? Their grandmother?
Following her were all the elders including their mother who seemed a little troubled.
They were carrying a few sacks... No, those were people who were tied by shiny golden chains. The patriarch seemed to be one of them, but his face was so beaten up, he was beyond recognition.
“Like hell, I would surrender for a filthy bitch like you!” Tolin screamed as she flew up and then hit the barrier head-first, forcing her to bounce down and hit the ground. “DAMN! WHEN DID YOU...” she cursed as the four men who were hiding before appeared and surrounded her.
She had no way out!
“Just surrender, Lass... We know who you work for...” one of the old men said. “Your plan to make the family work for that brat would never work...”
“Then you better let me go... You know that I can take you all with me...” she said.
“That brat would never help you... He can’t enter this world...” the old man said coldly.
“STOP CALLING HIM LIKE THAT! IF HE WAS HERE YOU WOULD BE GROVELING IN FRONT OF HIS FEET!“ Tolin seemed to be getting angry. “DON’T ACT ALL TOUGH IN FRONT OF ME!
“Don’t underestimate us...” another old man said, making a move with his hand, and a few great-looking ominous balls fell into the ground. Tolin seems to have thrown them before.
“Under this barrier, you can’t use your poisons!” the third old man said with a smirk.
“Lass... We will be spending a lot of time together after this... Don’t make it hard on yourself...” the fourth old man who seemed a little bit mean said.
“YOU FORCED ME TO DO THIS!” Tolin yelled, then looked up and uttered just one sentence as she tore a green talisman that seemed to have been hidden in her cuff.
“ረቹፕ ፕⶴቹ ሠዐዪረጋ ኡክዐሠ, ጎ ፪ቹፕዪልሃ!” she screamed.
“SHIT! STOP HER!” one of the old men who seemed to have realized something, screamed, but it was too late as from in between Tolin’s hand, a magical array appeared and then vanished before being replaced by a ball of darkness.
One of the old men wanted to attack but he was sent flying as in a blink of an eye, the black ball extended, filling the entire world in a blink of an eye, passing everyone like some kind of a barrier.
No one had time to react as the sky suddenly turned black and the world turned silent. It was an eerie silence that you never knew existed until you encountered it.
Nothing could be heard as above them, the barrier slowly shattered. It was as if it was in slow motion... Everything seemed slow, except for that woman Tolin who had a cruel smile on her face as she slowly vanished.
The first thing Zed noticed was the rancid smell that filled his nose, before he could make out its source he heard it... A sound that filled the silence. His sister’s scream.
Turning to the side he jumped back in shock, almost tripping on the bench when he saw it.
“DAMN!”
A giant abomination human-like creature appeared out of nowhere grabbing his sister by her throat and lifting her up. It seemed like a corpse of some sort. It was fat and all kinds of nasty stuff were spilling from its guts.
All around him, similar figures seemed to be crawling out of the dirt in the ground one after another filling the Arena and surrounding the heirs. They looked like some kind of otherworldly army!
“FIGHT!” The next thing they heard was the call for a battle, just as in front of them a familiar blue screen shimmered.
