67 Chapter 67 (1/2)

”I'm sorry, father. I apologize for my actions.” the fool backed down in the end. And here I thought that he would at least last a few breaths against my father's words. Tsk Tsk. What a letdown.

”Apologize to your brother! Not to me.” father corrected my foolish brother.

”It was my mistake.” Aiden murmured and never even faced me nor looked into my eyes.

”What did you say?” I played with the food on my mouth. Can't swallow you that easy, my dear brother.

”I said it was my mistake!” Aiden's words boomed once more and I captured this moment with vivid clarity.

A scene to fuel me when I would skin this cretin alive, beneath my feet.

”You are not young anymore, Aiden. Let older brother teach you now for all the years I've been missing in your life.” I smiled.

”PA!” before another strike went to balance the rosy cheek on my younger brother's face.

He had his guard up this time but that paltry defense could not compare to the invisible swift hands that flew at him with dazzling accuracy.

”I WILL KILL YOU!” Aiden's vehemence was palpable but he never took action this time.

Unlike the last, he only seethed with murderous gaze so great that even his eyes were now tinted with a crazed expression unbecoming a man and more of a wild beast than any other.

”Sit down Aiden.” the calm words of my father resounded until the disturbance died out. Aiden has no choice but appear like a rabid dog put down upon his thorny iron throne.

”This is my eldest son, Neon. And since he is well and has fought back against his affliction, he shall resume his seat as the rightful heir of the clan.” my father started.

”.................” and no one answered.
