61 Sad reality!
Eve stopped struggling as she knew her fate was already doomed.
Seeing the sharp sword just inches away from piercing her heart, she closed her eyes.
But the thing she expected didn’t happen.
Suddenly, there was a loud-clanging noise as Evelyn intercepted David’s attack and parried it away using her slender sword.
“Get away from my sister, you devil!”
“How can you do that to someone who always stood by your side?”
David was surprised upon seeing the uninvited guest.
“Evelyn?”
He turned his face around and saw Leon approaching him.
“Leon?”
“Why are you here?”
“David, you…you.”
Leon wanted to scold him as he felt it was quite selfish of him to alone get stronger.
But looking at his newfound strength, he knew the things were already done, and there was no point in crying now. There was a moment of struggle and hesitation in his eyes.
Eventually, the fact that David was his brother and maybe he could use this chance to make David owe him a favour in future won over.
Leon gave a deep sigh!
“Leave it, I am here just to make sure things are okay on your side.”
David nodded at his words,
“It’s fine, I am feeling good.”
“No..in fact, I have never felt so refreshed!”
“Just need to kill this Eve and my work here will be done.”
“No, no one is allowed to harm my sister.”
Evelyn yelled at them while closely-holding injured Eve.
“Leon, tell David that he can’t do such a thing.”
Evelyn looked at Leon with expectations in her eyes.
In her opinion, Leon would definitely take her side.
But sadly she too, like her sister, was about to face some harsh truths today, that would completely change the way she looks at the world.
Before anyone could speak more the old man who was standing at the side opened his mouth,
“Oh..oh! Who are you now?”
“Another slave girl?”
The old man looked at Evelyn for a few seconds before sizing up Leon.
“You have similar eyes as David and also share familiar facial features..even the aura is quite similar. Plus, the way you both are talking..”
“Wait, I remember now!”
“You must be Leon, David’s brother.”
“Both of you were small when my wife and I visited your house to meet your grandfather.”
Leon’s face bloomed into a smile as he was acknowledged by the old man, he knew the old man was quite formidable and it was in his best interests to maintain close relations with him.
David’s current strength was already far above his previous self.
After knowing that the new visitor was his brother, he felt at ease and once again shifted his attention to where Eve and Evelyn were.
This time he closely looked at Evelyn and looking at her, David felt the same feeling he felt before stabbing Eve.
He once again laughed,
“Haha! Today is really a lucky day!”
He had already absorbed Eve’s luck and fortune with his new devilish physique when he stabbed her a while ago, making his strength rise even further.
He felt that he was already invincible.
The current Eve was no longer of any use to him but he still decided that it was best to kill her lest she leaks to others what happened today!
As David looked at both sisters and Leon who was standing by his side a plan brewed up in his mind.
“Leon, you are my brother!”
“We must share our pains and gains.”
“I know inwardly you must be feeling aggrieved as you got no benefit.”
“Therefore, as your loving brother, I will tell you a way that would definitely help you increase your strength.”
Hearing him a bad premonition arose in Evelyn’s mind.
Leon got excited upon hearing him,
“What way, tell me!”
Seeing his brother’s eager expression David smiled as he knew his plan worked.
At first, he thought why not kill Evelyn too along with Eve?…after absorbing whatever she has to offer.
But then he thought with his newfound strength, becoming successful and famous is only a matter of time and he soon may need a loyal lackey.
And who can be a better option than his own brother?
He planned to make Leon indebted to him by giving him this favour.
“Leon, I felt a strange energy inside Eve and my instincts told me that if I could kill her or deal her a lethal blow then I may make that energy as mine to raise my strength.”
“And guess what… after I pierced my sword in her chest, that energy got transferred to my body.”
“But the best part is…”
“After looking at Evelyn, I am getting the same feeling.”
Leon was quick to catch his point.
“You mean if I kill Evelyn, I can also get that strange energy and get stronger?”
His breathing became fast as he got excited.
“Of course, do you think your brother would lie to you in such serious matters?”
David patted Leon’s back as he passed him the longsword that he was holding in his arms.
“Go ahead, kill both of the sisters.”
“In future, you will remember how grateful your brother was, for sharing such an opportunity with you.”
At this point, David was no different from a real devil.
He didn’t even bother hiding his malicious and nefarious expressions.
Leon accepted the sword from David and held it firmly.
“Thanks for sharing this information with me.”
He then looked at Evelyn who was holding the blood-drenched Eve.
He was looking at her as if she was a fat lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Blinded by his greed and obsession to get strong, he slowly started heading toward the sisters.
Sensing Leon’s eyes which were no different from a predator, Evelyn’s shoulders shuddered as a deep sense of crisis enveloped her.
She had already heard all the words said by David.
She looked at Eve who was already unconscious in her arms then once again looked at herself.
‘Am I going to suffer the same fate as my sister?’
