Chapter 18
And as expected, the 2nd brother was immediately furious as he said,
"Do you take me for a fool!? Are you saying that a pathetic waste like you can own an elixir? I don't think the clan would waste any resources on you!"
"It is up to you whether to believe it or not."
Oliver did not say any more.
"You-! Bastard, tell me what your relationship is with Naida and why she stopped us last time. I expect honest answers. If you dare to play games, then expect to lose a limb or two."
He threatened. It was quite clear that he wanted to know why Naida interfered last time. Even though they were twin siblings by blood, it did not mean anything in the clan. Only strength was the norm.
If possible, he wanted to gain an advantage over Naida, and he believed that Oliver may know something about it.
Why else would she interfere? Oliver must have something important…
"Do you think you are capable enough to make me say it?" Oliver chuckled, a hint of sarcasm evident in his words.
He said, "A coward older brother who ran away hiding his tail between his legs when faced with his talented little sister? You still have the guts? Hahaha."
Oliver naturally had no intentions of revealing anything to this unimportant character at all.
Although it was quite true that he might as well have run away cowardly when facing the terrifying Naida, but he did not have to say it.
When it came to provoking others, he knew a lot. The characters of the novels were all read by him once, and he knew what triggered them the most as well.
He knew that the children from the Mystic Purge Clan despised being looked down upon by someone weaker than them the most.
So he did just that to provoke this 2nd brother, and the results were quite good as well, as he saw veins popping on his forehead.
"Just because I did not face Naida, a weakling like you thinks that he can talk to me? It seems that I was quite lenient last time. Do you believe that she will come to your rescue here?"
The 2nd brother coldly sneered, "She is nicknamed 'the dark seedling'; blood and familial bond mean nothing to her! Today, I will teach you what true strength means!"

He roared and directly attacked Oliver!
He roared as he ended the sentence and threw a punch at Oliver. The speed of the punch was extraordinary, and the impact it could generate was enough to even break a tough metal boulder.
However, to Oliver, the punch seemed to slow down considerably.
Not to mention the permanent boost he received in his strength last time that amplified his senses, but he was also the bearer of the upgraded version of one of the 4 mythical eyes.
The punch was as slow as a sloth inching its way across a branch. Each instance felt agonizingly drawn out and easily anticipated by his heightened senses.
His lips curled into a small smirk as he had achieved what he intended. He wanted this brother of his to admit that Naida was the cold and ruthless girl they imagined her to be.
He did not even want to leave a shred of doubt in their minds. By angering him through embarrassing provocations, he did just that.
Bang!
The fist collided, but the result was not what the 2nd brother had been expecting. He was initially thinking that his punch would directly dislocate Oliver's shoulders and might even break his arm.
But what happened was that his punch was caught by Oliver's small white hand.
The 2nd brother's eyes widened in disbelief as he saw what was happening in front of him. An impossible scene was happening at the moment.
Just the last time when he saw Oliver getting brutally beaten, he could clearly tell that Oliver was definitely not this strong.
From the way just light punches and kicks from his little siblings directly injured Oliver, it was bizarre that his punch, which was at least 5 times stronger than their punches, was stopped without any issue!
He had seen Oliver's skin and bones getting bruised last time, so he was definitely not this robust and tough. So how did he become like this in just a single day!?
The 2nd brother immediately retracted his fist…
"What!?"
At that moment, he felt as if his fist had been caught in an iron grip. No matter how much force he applied, he could not retract his fist back from Oliver's hand.
Looking at the unshakable jade-white hand in front of him, his heart suddenly palpitated. A strong uneasiness was starting to spread in his chest as the realization dawned upon him that things were not simple anymore.
"Dear 2nd brother…" Oliver's soft voice sounded, which drew his attention for a moment as he looked up at his face where their eyes met.
What he saw in Oliver's eyes at that moment was something terrifying….
It was an abyss!
A swirling abyss of darkness and death, an endless void devoid of light or hope, emitting a palpable aura of dread and despair.
In those eyes, he saw his deepest fears magnified a thousandfold, his mind consumed by an overwhelming sense of doom.
It was as if he was staring into the abyss itself, and it was staring back, ready to consume him whole, opening its black cosmic maw.
This was all happening because Oliver had used the 3rd ability of his special eyes, [Enshrouding of Death].
"Ugk! Blegh!"
The 2nd brother puked uncontrollably as tears flooded his eyes, but even then, he was unable to divert his eyes from Oliver's.
He kept puking uncontrollably; he almost felt like throwing his guts out at the moment. His heart stirred, and he felt it was going to stop at any moment.
Death had come to his door.
He slowly lost all his will… he was going to die!
Oliver stopped at that moment and used his other hand to punch the other party's stomach, and in the next instance, the 2nd brother fainted almost immediately.
He knew that if he did not punch him, the other party wouldn't be able to stop looking at his eyes, especially if the other person's mental resistance was not too strong.
So he delivered a physical stimulus. Given his turbulent strength, he directly knocked out his so-called 2nd brother.
"That should be enough."
