Chapter 658: Measuring Shins Potential (2) (1/2)

...

Bang!

Cloe came rushing inside the house and quickly went to Arthur and Leonard who seemed to be discussing something.

”Hey, you two! Hurry, help Shin right now before Big Sister Shiella breaks all of his bones,” she said right after entering. She grabbed the arms of those two and tried to pull them up from their seats while saying. ”Come on~! Hurry!”

In the meantime, Arthur refused to budge while saying to her. ”Sigh~, there is no need to overreact, Cloe. It is not like Shin will let himself get beaten up one-sidedly.”

”And Big Sister Shiella will not kill Shin Bro anyway, so what's with the panic?” said Leonard as he smiled at her.

Hearing that, Cloe suddenly glared at the two before kicking the sofa that they were sitting on. ”Hey! Where is your sense of camaraderie? Are you really going to leave Shin alone?”

”Sense of camaraderie my *ss! That guy sold me off to Big Sis before,” muttered Arthur as he couldn't help but remember the time when Shin betrayed him when Shiella caught them red-handedly as they talked ill about her behind her back.

Overhearing what he just said, Cloe tried convincing them with a different approach. ”They are currently fighting in the backyard. How about we watch them a little and learn a couple of things?”

”Nah~! I like to pass this time since Big Sis will surely drag me into it,” replied Arthur before turning his attention back to the virtual screen.

At the same time, Leonard looked at Cloe with an awkward smile before apologizing. ”I am sorry, Sis-in-law. But I will lose some of my sideline jobs if Miss Shiella discovered that I am involved in this. Or at least, I will have to say goodbye to my bonuses if it really happened.”

”You-…! You two-…! Urgh!!! I hate both of you!” yelled Cloe as she stomped her way towards the backyard.

In the meantime, Arthur went back to what they were talking about earlier, ignoring Cloe's remarks. ”As I said, I received quite a few challenges from some of our old friends. Which one are we going to accept first?”

”Is it a team battle or a group battle? And what is at stake? Are their offers worth the trouble?” asked Leonard rapidly as he suddenly became excited with the topic.

*********

Meanwhile, Cloe just arrived at the backyard of the house and immediately saw how much mess Shin and Shiella had created.

Fortunately, David had prevented their powerful attacks from going beyond the controlled area of his barrier. He also managed to block the loud sounds of the battle to avoid disturbing their neighbors, or else they would be reported to the security committee of their neighborhood already.

Cloe couldn't clearly see what was happening beyond the barrier due to the thick cloud of dust blocking her line of sight. She couldn't see anything aside from the flashes of lights that kept on appearing from time to time due to the collision of Shin and Shiella's respective attacks.

While Cloe was trying her best to see what was happening within the cloud of dust, she suddenly overheard the conversation between David, Jerimiah, and Vincent.

”Isn't this a little too much for a sibling fight?”

”Well, we can't do anything about that. After all, we don't know how they are showing their 'love' with each other.”

”She is not going to kill him, isn't it?”

Hearing their words, Cloe's eyes suddenly turned and started panicking. Then she quickly ran towards them and started bombarding them with questions as if she was a worried wife who heard her husband get caught in an accident. ”What happened to Shin? Is he seriously injured? Did he really got beaten up too badly-…?”

When the three heard her words, they couldn't help but look at her with weird faces, not knowing how to respond to each of her questions.

Bang!

Fortunately, their attention was caught by a loud sound coming from the barrier. It looked like Shin got smashed on the barrier once again and shook it quite intensely.

Due to that powerful impact from that collision, a gust of wind cleared the cloud of dust surrounding Shin, letting Cloe and the others see his current state.

Cough! Cough!

Shin coughed out some blood as he sat on the ground with his back leaning on the barrier behind him. There were some visible injuries on different parts of his body. But given that he calmly picked himself up from the ground, those wounds seemed to be superficial.

Regardless, Cloe couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands after seeing his miserable state. Especially that she saw his head bleeding.

”Tsk! She really is not pulling her punches,” muttered Shin with a bitter tone before flicking his wrist and covering his entire body with a gentle flame that healed all of his wounds.

Not long after Shin used that technique, all of the wounds that he got earlier suddenly disappeared as if they had never been there in the first place.

”Oh ho~! Being a Mentalist is really convenient. It is starting to get a little jealous,” said Shiella as she walked out of the cloud of dust that was starting to dissipate.

Hearing that, Shin couldn't help but smile before asking. ”Aren't you taking this a little too far Big Sis? I thought you were not going to hit my face? You almost broke my jaw five times already!”
