Chapter 5
…
Kyren, who saw that infuriated so much.
If he could spit fire from his mouth like a dragon, he would burn this bastard to ashes already.
"Ya, ya, ya, ya, yaaa…"
Kyren was yelling with her baby voice, while glaring at Lucius, trying to stop him from hurting his mother any further.
His hands raised high, trying to hit him. Unfortunately, his hands were too short.
So short it was more like an amputated marshmallow instead.
Lucius let go of her hair as he watched Kyren's peculiar intelligence.
"Hmmm, so what's the servant reported is right after all. This little midget is really smart. I have high hopes for him."
He looked at Kyren's mother and said with a smirk.
"I really hope he isn't as useless as you, Chriselda. It seems your family also has a high hope for him, as his name is based on your ancestor."
Chriselda widened her eyes in shock, as she never expected him to know that name, which was supposed to be known only by people of her clan.
"What? Are you surprised?"
Lucius moved closer with a sinister smile and whispered right beside her ear.
His blue eyes glinted with an evil look, framing his beautiful, handsome face with the color of the vile.
Kyren gritted his teeth in indignation, feeling the god had been blind and senile to gift such a fine, hot face to this horrible father of his.
His gorgeous, long, white hair fell from his shoulders, enchanting the nuance of the attractive in him.
What was more infuriating was that, if not for Kyren's mother's hand that swiftly covered his head, this wicked, stunning guy's hair would have poked Kyren's eyes.
'Damn it, why am I admired him instead. You dumb Kyren. You should hate him. Just you wait, once I'm strong enough, I will slap your face left and right until it becomes a pig. You hear me!!! A pig!!!'
Kyren chewed his lips in hatred.
"It was your father, by the way, who told me about all the secrets your clan had. He also gave me all of the Raven's Clan Nirvana's Arts and their original Circulation method. Pretty funny, huh? A long time ago, we were nothing but your vassals. But look where we are? Hahahahaha, you lots now are nothing but maggots beneath our feet."
Expecting a rage came from Chriselda, Lucius found there was nothing but indifference in her black eyes.
"Uhhh…"
He somehow flinched, made Lucius feel rather weird with himself.
On the other hand, Chriselda calmly looked at him as if what he said were something she couldn't care less about.
Her long black hair cascaded behind her, creating a striking artistic contrast in black and white between the two of them.
Quickly getting bored, Lucius waved his hand.
"Nah, forget it. Let's go…"
He moved to lead the way, while the few servants who waited outside the room walked after him.
After closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Chriselda soon followed along, while gently patting her son in her embrace, worried that her son would be frightened by that earlier, normal exchange of the two.
Looking down, he found her son looking at her in distress.
"I'm fine, my son. I'm fine. I will always be fine if you are around."
Chriselda smiled sweetly at Kyren, gently rubbing his furrowed temple to ease his worry.
She felt like there was nothing in this world that could break her heart if her son were there with him.
Her heart felt strengthened and warm when she was with her son.
…
'So, my mom's name is Chriselda, huh. Chriselda Raven. Why do I find it familiar though?"
Kyren creased his eyebrows, trying to remember as hard as he could.
But no matter he much he stormed his little brain's narrow pathway―he found nothing by the end.
He might be a fan of the novel, but he wasn't smart enough to remember every detail.
He often didn't even remember where he put his phone, ransacking his rented house until everything seemed to be brushed by a tornado, only to discover later that it was in his hand all along.
Kyren then peered at one of the goods that was rather cheap in the Love Store and Sorrow Store.
To make him happy, smart, and release all the pressure for being kinda of dumb.
[Memory Enchantment]
[Intelligence Enchantment]
'Hmmm, I should buy it and test the effect later.'
He nodded his head, narrowed his eyes, feeling like the time would soon come for him to finally be a genius in all heaven above, underworld below, Earth and toilet in the middle.
'Throughout up, above, down, below, I alone am the… the… the… I'm the one, yeah… yeah, anyway, something like that,' Kyren hesitated, as he forgot the line from a certain favorite character of his.
For the seven days, Kyren had already carefully inspected his wondrous system.
And these kinds of assistance products, including [Language Integration] he exchanged earlier, were listed as miscellaneous, and would randomly generate in each of the four stores every day.
Sometimes, there were four, sometimes there were seven of them.
There was even a condom once in the options listed.
Kyren narrowed his eyes when he saw that, feeling that the system was rather indecent.
Anyways, all indecent things aside, all of these products were also always consistent in price, usually in the range between 20.000 more, or 6.000 less than his saved points.
And he could save one in each generated store to be exchanged later until he had enough points.
'I say, it's pretty convenient and a sick function.'
Kyren often nodded his head repeatedly, feeling happy with his cheat, which showed him something quite affordable at least.
Though he still wanted to cry seeing all of those exaggerated billion points that were needed, to exchange for God Level Cultivation Techniques, Divine Magic Art, or Eternal Eyes from Laruto.
'Sigh, so my dream to collect the 23 Sacred Flames with my father and fight against the white-haired, white-eyed alien can't happen then. What a pity.'
Kyren sighed ruefully.
Looking up above, he saw her mother's bruised cheeks, feeling hatred came to him once again.

As one of the servants hurried to the very front, to open the large sliding door for his lord, Lucius, Kyren saw…
