Chapter 28 - Tough times

This event became more obvious after he suddenly stopped receiving Exp from drinking milk daily task.

At first, Tobi was really confused. He thought it was a glitch, he was barely just four months old so why would did he suddenly stop receiving exp points?

That was unless his body no longer needed milk, to grow. For a brief moment, he wanted to reuse the logic of an earthling baby on himself, when he realized just how absurd it was.

After that, as if by a chain reaction. Christy started weaning on him, this comes down to the fact of having an extra member in the family.

So even if they didn't realize it before, their storage of food wasn't abundant enough to support the family of six.

Despite still being a cultivation maniac, cold-hearted, misanthropic, and cynical person. The reoccurring events brought his state of mind back into reality.

Tobi couldn't help but feel slightly guilty, about it.

This forced him to start hating Tim's presence more and more.

'Damn it, if the Ba*tard! Didn't come into our peaceful life, would Christy be weaning on me?'

'How are we supposed to enjoy our life's with him constantly breathing on our necks? Not only does the ba*tard look like my previous life older brother, but he's also good at acting the perfect son, even spending time with my sisters and eating our food.'

'Mom and dad would praise him for his so-called hardworking self and smart a*s. Now the whole house is filled with his praises, no one shuts up about Tim saving the family a lot of stress, but knows nothing about how he steals our food.

'No one even gives a damn, about him eating more than everyone in the house. God, why did you create such a ba*stard? Why did you not strangle him with his umbilical cord to death?'

Oblivious of Tobi's feelings and curses, Tim followed his perfect routine, as he would steal and hide food materials meant for the entire family while blaming it on crops pests.

With this new development. Tobi was having a hard coping, with completing his daily task without enough food to sustain his body's fast growth.

'Oh dammit, this is even getting worse than I expected, the evil man version of my previous life elder brother. So far, my opportunities have been brought down to only two.

'Option one, wait for that ba*tard to starve everyone to death while playing a fool. Malnourishment is most definitely a death sentence for a baby, not excluding me before am old enough.

'Option two, wait until I am tall enough, and put an end to his undeveloped nightmare. I think I will go with option number two for the last consort.'

During the following months, Tim was now mostly left at home to take care of the household and look after his so-called' siblings when Christy and Christopher aren't at home or were busy.

More than once he would shout at Belle for doing something he felt was wrong, but it never lasts long in other not to blow his cover he would try correcting her by feigning calmness.

On the contrary, on Tobi's side, he was already tired of Tim. He could not move, in order not to blow his cover or even talk, he could do nothing but silently watch Tim do as he pleases.

Worse of all he couldn't use his ability, afraid of being discovered and then abandoned.

He was not used to being so helpless and taunted to this extreme. Tim would always have this smug smile on his face while drinking fetching his soup or eating his food.

Tobi was trying so hard not to choke him to death, and to adjust to his new reality, without overthinking how absurd his situation was becoming.

After a few months of long practice, he felt confident enough to try formulating a few babble words.

He was always careful, never allowing Tim to see him. No matter how common speaking was, Tobi doubted that Tim might mistakenly kill in the fit of him freaking out.

He was very much afraid of being killed by a ba*tard, or even worse manipulating his family to abandon him.

Another month passed, with Tobi witnessing another world-changing discovery.

Apparently, without him realizing it the meditation technique daily task, now only gives him attributes points every two weeks.

Tobi had never noticed that before because Christy was always there to feed her little glutton but now his level was growing rapidly than his body could keep up with.

Even Ada and Belle were already taking note of Tobi appearing worn for some reason. This event was meaningful for two reasons, the first was she being constantly reprimanded by Tim every time she did something that was not to his taste. When she tried doing it to his taste, Christy would shun her that it was wrong and Tim would take the credit for correcting her.

The second reason was after she caught a frostbite Tim would always use hot water to thaw the frostbite, instead of warm water, this would increase her pain to a heart-aching level.

However, he only does this with Christopher and Christy's absence, Ada became forced to start looking over her younger sister's health.

Due to Belle's sudden health issue, the old midwife placed Belle on a strict diet most especially on her daily treatment. Even that required quite a few tries to find the right amount since too much would cause even more damage than too little.

She started noticing how Belle was looking paler and would cough more often than usual even to the point of the frostbite bleeding out blood.

Nine months eventually passed, with Tim treating himself as the lord overall. So, with or without him realizing it, Tobi and the girls already hated him to the core, he was more like a nightmare to them.

Luckily, Christopher and Christy still monitor the house and check on them once in a while.
