Chapter 138 - "A Genius Toddler?"
Nouvan put on a fake smile as he clasped his hands behind his back. The tip of his finger suddenly burned, and golden fire seeped out of his left forefinger while chilling ice fragments floated around his back.
I should be ready whenever Jevon decides to run amok!
The 15-year-old teenager nodded to himself. As someone wielding four abilities, he shouldn't back down easily, even if pitted against Jevon, the bastard with three all-rounded abilities.
Jevon had a wide area range with his monster tamer skill, a powerful offensive ability with his thunder skill and lastly, a God-tier defence with his registration ability.
No wonder he was the first candidate to be the family head if only the higher-ups didn't decide to make the 3-years-old toddler as the puppet family head.
Nouvan shook his head as he recalled the shocking decision a few weeks ago. Truthfully, he was also shocked when he heard the news of the new family head being a toddler.
Even if she's the sole heir of the Sloan direct bloodline, it's too ridiculous to let a weak baby bear a mafia boss's responsibility!
Maybe she's just a puppet head, but as a 'mascot', she's still in danger…
That's what pissed off the five buds. As the most powerful family members, the 5 buds never pledged loyalty to someone undeserving of their commitment.
They would only choose a worthy master to pledge loyalty to! And that's why the group unanimously decided not to attend the crowning ceremony of the new family head.
They didn't want to see a useless puppet taking the seat of the most important position in the family.
Others said that the five buds didn't care about the family, that they would leave the family anytime if they wished to.
Who said that?
Nouvan's mismatched eyes flickered for a moment. He cast his gaze on the crowds chattering without care for the sinner, and he subconsciously gritted his teeth.
We, the geniuses of the family, also love this family, okay? This family is the one grooming us to this point. Why would we abandon the family if the family isn't so rotten like now?
Nouvan clenched his fists tightly.
Even though their group usually lived at the capital, not at the main mansion at the outskirts, they still knew a lot of news regarding the family.
It's just that...the news was getting worse, and worse…
It became slightly better when their subordinates at the main mansion said that the new family head fired a bunch of corrupt accountants 'on a whim'.
"...do you think the young miss truly fired those bastards on a whim?" Nouvan abruptly raised a question via their telepathy group chat.
His sudden question caught everyone off guard. Even Alvaro, the lone wolf of the group, perked his ears.
"The young miss fired the accountants on a whim? Nah. Impossible, " Alvaro murmured, joining the conversation. His purple eyes glowed in the dark for a second before he shook his head.
"She's still a child. It's understandable for her to fire those who displease her, " Alvaro spoke in a low voice. However, his voice didn't contain any disdain or contempt toward the subject of their conversation, Ainsley.
Maybe because he also had the same hair colour as the baby…
It almost made others think of him as the real heir of the Sloan Family when in reality, he's just...someone lucky enough to possess purple hair?
That's the sole reason why the previous family head adopted an orphan like him and groomed him.
Or maybe he was truly a bastard child of the Sloan Family? No one knows. It could be that the previous family head's siblings played around outside and got a baby, which was him.
Alvaro paused for a second before sighing.
"Why are you asking about that incident? Do you think the young miss did it on purpose?" The usually aloof guy couldn't help but ask Nouvan out of curiosity.
To someone who possessed the same unique hair colour as him, he couldn't just ignore the baby, right? Not to mention they suddenly discussed her recent actions.
"Indeed. How come I think the young miss fired those bastards on purpose…" Nouvan chuckled slightly. "And you heard that she has a charm ability, right? That's quite a rare power belonging to the mid-tier rank."
"Charm ability? I thought she's just naturally cute?" Marietta's eyes widened in disbelief. She also heard of the rumour, but she didn't believe it at first.
The young miss is just 3! How could she awaken any ability? Maybe the people at the main mansion are just jealous of the baby and tried to defame her…
After all, those possessing charm abilities always have a negative stigma stuck to their back.
"I don't know whether the young miss truly owns a charm ability or not. But if she truly has it...doesn't it mean she's a genius?" Nouvan peeked at Jevon, who was standing quite far away from his place.
However, even if he couldn't see that young man's face, he could imagine what kind of expression that arrogant bastard was making…
As a genius who awakened his power at the age of 8, Jevon had the right to brag when he's around the Sloan Family. He's just slightly overtaken by the Walter Family's heir, who awakened his power by 6.
But if the current puppet family head awakened her first mid-tier power when she's barely 3…
Nouvan hadn't continued his words when Jevon's cold voice sounded through everyone's mind.
"So you mean to say that the puppet family head might be a genius? She also fired the accountants on purpose?" Jevon's eyes glinted in a dangerous light.
