Wale was a supreme genius of a well-renowned ancient family.
Through the use of a special technique, their first ancestor, a god-tier talent, could pass down his talent through his bloodline to future generations.
After several thousand years, another god-tier talent appeared in this ancient family, causing them to be filled with joy and great hope for their future.
This new talent was exactly Wale.
Unlike others in his family who can only debuff their enemies when they feel one emotion, Wale could debuff them when they feel all emotions.
That was just how scary a god-tier talent was.
That wasn’t the only thing.
Wale was blessed with a domain-type innate talent.
It must be known that among innate talents, the domain type was revered among others.
His innate talent ‘beating-heart domain’ caused those around him to hear their heartbeats echo around them.
Such a thing would certainly affect the emotional state of those around him. As long as there was a change in their emotion, there would be a corresponding change in their heartbeat, no matter how slight it may be.
It was just that Wale’s debuff only worked one hundred percent on those who felt fear or anger, causing him to steal all their mana and one of their unique abilities.
While his innate talent worked on other emotions too, he could only steal ten percent of their mana.
Obviously, Rita and Arthur didn’t feel fear or anger toward Wale.
What surprised Wale was that while the ten percent mana he stole from Rita was monstrous to the point that it even exceeded his own ten percent, the one he obtained from Arthur was even larger than all the others combined including Rita’s.
That allowed him to draw some assumptions that made Wale’s mind blank.
He was already revered in his family as a god-tier talent.
The greatest talent to have been seen since their ancestor was a twelfth-level supreme talent who was his father.
Yet the person before him had potential that far exceeded that of his own and his family combined.
Arthur didn’t wait for Wale to come out of his reverie.
Looking at his hand, Arthur could feel the mana in his body had decreased greatly.
He knew it had to do with the sound of his heartbeat that was still resounding loudly in his ears.
“Fascinating!”
With a wide grin on his face, Arthur looked at Wale, his eyes flashing with excitement.
If there was one thing Arthur loved more than a woman’s chest, then it would be fighting.
He immediately teleported in front of Wale, sending a right fist at his gut.
This time Wale dodged his punch easily.

Wale was fifteen years old and was at the peak of the advanced stage.
As a god-tier talent, after activating his domain, he could combat favorably with a peak-level master mage.
“Brother, wait!”
He tried to talk it out with Arthur. After knowing how monstrous Arthur’s talent was, he didn’t care about his servant and simply wanted to befriend Arthur.
It was a pity Arthur didn’t think the same.
He hurled out punches after punches but Wale evaded them all.
Seeing that his attacks were not connecting, Arthur unleashed one of his techniques.
“Mirror clones.”
Wale’s eyes widened when he saw two more Arthurs appear in front of him.
Not daring to hold back any longer, Wale willed the mana in his body and used one of the magic spells he had just stolen.
While Arthur and Rita didn’t fear Wale, the same couldn’t be said about the others.
Hearing your own heartbeat resounding around you would send shivers down the spines of any normal person, not to mention the kids who were already terror-stricken.
So right now, Wale had a lot of spells from different laws in his arsenal, of course, this was only until his domain was deactivated.
Pointing the forefingers of both of his hands at the newly appeared Arthurs, Wale whispered:
“Arrows!”
A rain of fire arrows materialized at his left before all launching at one of Arthur’s clones, while a rain of arrows made of water materialized at his right before launching at the other clone.
Unfortunately for him, the real Arthur at his front stretched both of his hands at the arrows before calling out grandly:
“Receive!”
Spatial essence erupted from Arthur’s body before the space in front of the rain of arrows rippled.
Immediately after, all the arrows were sucked into it.
“What…” Wale’s eyes widened like saucers, but before he could react, one of Arthur’s clones teleported behind him before kneeing him in the back.
“Ah!” as he staggered forward in pain, his eyes caught sight of Arthur’s second clone appearing before him, a fist hurtling at his face.
With a thud, Wale was sent flying.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the real Arthur grin before clenching both of his stretched palms.
“Appear!”
Seeing all the arrows he had launched appear above him, Wale’s face turned white as sheets.
The truth was that while Arthur was strong, Wale was insanely strong too.
He was caught off guard as he had never seen space laws used in such ways.
Aside from teleportation, there were no other revered spatial techniques.
So he didn’t get to use all the abilities he had stolen before he was beaten, if not it wasn’t clear who would win in the end as Arthur was only a newly advanced mage.
Arthur’s clones disappeared, and he was just about to rain the arrows down on Wale when a shriek echoed out:
“No!”
Arthur stopped abruptly only to see the girl that had been lying all this while on the ground run past him, and hold Wale in her embrace.
Arthur’s eyes widened before he gulped loudly.
With a trembling voice, he whispered:
“Is that C-cup?”
“Young master, are you okay?” As she sobbed, she checked Wale’s body for any injury.
Smiling wryly, Wale deactivated his domain, “I am okay. It is just some bruises. It will…”
Before he could finish his words, Arthur’s voice cut in.
“Brother! Are you alright?”
Wale was dumbfounded as he looked at Arthur who quickly approached him in concern.
But after seeing that Arthur didn’t actually approach him, but went behind his servant as he said, “Let me help you lift him,” and hearing the moaning pleas of his servant that immediately drifted into his ears, “No, please. Don’t touch me there!” his face turned green.
The expressions of the bullies turned strange at this sight, while the kneeling kids had their eyes wide open, especially the boys.
“What is big brother doing?” Mia asked Rita innocently, her eyes flashing with curiosity.
‘This bastard!’ Rita tried to stop her body from trembling but to no avail.
Taking in several deep breaths, she turned back and took Mia by the hand, “Don’t mind that pervert, we are leaving.”
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Arthur turned to see the girls leave his sight.
He hesitantly stopped his hands that had been squeezing two soft melons and teleported before the door as he shouted:
“Hey wait! You have it all wrong! I was only lending a hand!”
Wale took a deep breath before turning back.
“Are you alright?” he was dumbfounded when he saw the red-flushed face of his servant as she clutched her chest tight.
Meanwhile, outside the warehouse.
“Hey, I told you to wait!”
“Humph.”
Arthur chased after Rita as he tried to explain himself.
What he didn’t know was that at an alley behind them, the usual cold and indifferent eyes of a certain boy were gazing at them with deep hatred.
Arthur turned back to look at the alley but seeing no one there, he whispered:
“That is strange. I thought I felt a presence.”
Looking back at Rita who had walked far ahead of him in this short while, he quickly chased after her again.
In the alley, Dean looked at the sky as he tried to suppress the erupting anger within him.
With his eyes flashing with hatred, he whispered:
“Soon, very soon.”
