Chapter 598: Neil
Chapter 598: Neil
“I hope, I hear some good news from big sister Keshe,”
Ajax really hoped to get some news about his friends from Keshe and he was eager for the remaining 3 days to be over soon.
‘Anyway, since I completed checking the rewards, I should go back to the battle tower and clear the remaining 6 halls,’
As he had nothing to do outside, he decided to go back into the battle tower.
Actually, he had some minor works such as going to the mercenary guild market square to buy some ingredients and help his allies in increasing their strength.
However, he had postponed all those works to the later date after the disciple-selection ceremony was over.
‘System, send me in….,’
‘Knock Knock’
“Master,”
Just as he was about to order the system to send him into the battle tower, someone tapped on his door and called him.
“Justice?”
Ajax easily recognized the owner of the voice and he was surprised before opening the door.
It’s been three days since he had last seen him in his room after coming back from the cursed wilderness.
Moreover, he had given Justice some missions before he entered the battle tower. So, he was surprised to see him in front of his room.
“What happened Justice?”
On Justice’s face, there was a worried look. So, Ajax asked Justice regarding what he was worried about.
“Neil, come here and greet my master,”
However, Justice looked at his right-hand side and called for someone.
‘Huh?’
Ajax looked in the direction and saw a young man that looked almost similar to Neil walking towards them and said, “Th..this is your brother?”
“Yes, master. Neil is my little brother,”
Justice nodded his head as he informed Ajax about the young man who was walking towards them.
“But what happened to his face? There are many bruises on it,”
However, there was something that made Ajax raise his brows because Justice’s brother was entirely covered with bruises and even his walking was a little forced.
“It is disciples from the assassin sect,”
Justice clenched his fists as he replied to Ajax.
“Huh? Isn’t your brother also an assassin sect disciple?”
Ajax didn’t understand why Justice’s brother would be attacked by the assassin sect disciples since he was also a disciple of the assassin sect.
“It is because of me, master. Since I didn’t return to the assassin sect, all the elders and disciples must have assumed I was dead. And my enemies started troubling my brother,”
Justice said with a sad look on his face thinking how much his little brother had suffered while he was gone away.
“What about Elders and others. Don’t they care about their own disciple and allow the other disciples to bully a single disciple?”
Ajax tossed a rank 4 healing pill at the young named Neil as he asked Justice regarding the working of the assassin sect.
“Actually, in every top sect, the bullying of other disciples is common; however, in the assassin sect it is at the peak as the sect doesn’t really care even if one of their students dies,”
Justice slowly replied about the assassin sect and thinking back to how he lived in the assassin sect, he felt embarrassed for a moment before thinking in his mind, ‘I never bullied anyone with low cultivation.’
The last sentence was for his pride because it was the truth as he never laid a hand on weaker cultivators.
‘Looks like I have to change some plans regarding the assassin sect because that sect is even worse than I thought,’
Until now, Ajax had thought that he could kill some disciples of the assassin sect who had committed most bad things; however, now he finally found out the assassin sect never cared about their disciples much.
“Anyway, take him to your room and make him rest. We will talk later,” Suppressing all his thoughts, Ajax asked Justice to take him to his room to rest while he went back to his own room and closed the door.
‘Yes, master,’
Justice nodded his head at the closed door and slowly took his brother to his room.
“Brother Braylon, why are you calling him ‘master’?”
“Brother Braylon, why is your cultivation decreased?”
“Did something happen to you?”
“Or did he seal your cultivation and me you as his slave?”
“Stop laughing and say something to me, brother,”
While Justice was taking his brother to his room, his little brother, Neil continued to ask many questions; however, for every question he asked his big brother, Neil got only a smile as a reply making him annoyed and irritated.
As for why he called Justice as Braylon because it was his birth name which was changed by Ajax after coming out the trial conducted by the system by one of its features called ‘Second chance’
“Just know that from now on my name is Justice and I have completely changed just like how you wanted to see me,”
All of a sudden, Justice stopped in his tracks as he turned his head back to see his little brother Neil and replied with a small smile on his face.
“Huh?”
Neil raised his eyebrows as he didn’t believe his big brother had completely changed and turned into a good person because he said those words to him many times such that he lost hope from his big brother.
‘However, he never scolded or hit me in all these years. As long as I am with my big brother, I don’t care whether he changed or not anymore,’
Without protection from his brother in the sect, he knew how cruel that world could be. Even those that praised him in the past would not come forward to help him when someone bullies him. Even the elders and my own teacher felt I am a burden and said some harsh words while taking the cultivation resources that his brother had left for him.
‘Anyway, my big brother is back and just like I believed he didn’t die in the cursed wilderness,’
Many thoughts moved in Neil’s head as he followed behind his big brother.
