Chapter 6: Harsh Truth (1/2)

Theo was walking on a clean road, straight to his home, planning to sort out his thoughts.

Although he bought two spears and one sword, he still needed to familiarize himself with the sword first.

He believed that once he used another identity, it required him to be perfect to make sure no one managed to distinguish his disguise, including the weapon choice that would narrow the search by a lot.

Besides, he had a plan to use it when he hunted alone. The sword could be used as a vanguard because of its range and offensive ability while he stayed behind his clone. Not only would he feel safer, but he also didn't have to form a group with other people, lest they betrayed him again.

While walking down the road, he found two people among the crowd that seemed to be enjoying themselves as they were feeding each other ice cream.

Theo wasn't jealous or anything. He simply thought they should at least feel bad about it for a few days. After all, the one he saw was the couple that betrayed him yesterday.

Instead, what he found completely baffled him.

To his dismay, he couldn't do anything in this city. The only time he could take his revenge would be when they entered the forest again.

However, he heard something shocking when he was about to pass them.

”I am glad that we managed to finish our mission. Killing him and making it look like an accident was hard unless you had a perfect opportunity. Heaven must want him to die since it gave us the Rock Turtle.” The female snorted and licked her ice cream.

”Indeed. I didn't know why that person wanted to kill him…In fact, I do feel that him being bullied in the school was a bit abnormal. Anyway, it was free money for us.” The male nodded in agreement.

”…” Theo fell silent and halted his footsteps. 'Someone wanted me dead? And that person ordered these two to kill me. So it was not that they wanted to stay alive they betrayed me, but for money?'

He just got the shock of his life. His original plan was to beat them up once and let them go since they only did it to survive, yet the shocking truth simply shattered the last kindness in his heart to them.

'Calm down…Calm down.' Theo turned around and followed them even though he still carried the three weapons with him while repeatedly telling himself not to release his killing intent. 'I need to know who ordered them first.'

The two continued talking.

”I agree with you. Nothing beats easy money for people like us.” The female chuckled. ”Still, do you know the reason for their feud? I thought something was fishy because he approached and bullied him first before anyone knew it.”

”Who knows. He is dead now, so there is no point digging the truth that might antagonize him even further.”

”Yeah. He had offended someone he shouldn't have. Still, did you see his face when we pushed him to the turtle? It was hilarious, and somehow, I enjoyed seeing his face the moment he fell into despair.” She chuckled.

”Pfft. Don't talk about it.” The man covered his mouth while grinning.

Theo, who followed them this whole time, finally stopped. No one would realize that his death was orchestrated.

He recalled every single person who bullied him in the past. There were around thirty people from three different small groups in the school. He then selected those who attacked him without prior warning, narrowing it down to ten people.

Not satisfied, he chose another filter to screen them even further. He checked which of them actually hit him when he just started school and got three people.

The first one was someone from another class. This person led a small gang in the school. To look cool, he picked the weakest one from another class, which coincidentally was his class. Unfortunately, only one person looked like a perfect target.

It was him.

Still, this one was nothing compared to the other two in terms of background.

The second one was also from another class, specifically an upperclassman. People thought it was weird to see someone from the second year bullying a new kid, but none of them dared to raise their opinion.

After all, the second one was the oldest son of a conglomerate in the country, Sihan Raskaka. Theo put no thought about him and just let him do whatever he wanted until he was satisfied.

It would end faster that way usually.

The last one was a bit special because he was his classmate. Like the second one, his family was wealthy and had a vast influence over the country. However, such a person should have a good image in public, not bullying someone like this.

Even though he might be able to cover everything up with his family influence, he shouldn't do something like that without reasons. Besides, he never met him in the past, let alone offended him.
