I am Leon Quentin, am a Reincarnator and currently should be the Strongest person in this world.
In this life, I was born as the fourth son of my father and the second son he had with his second wife.
Before me, the Father had two sons and a daughter, and after me, the first wife of my father and my stepmother gave birth to another daughter, making me the fourth person in the line of succession.
But although I'm a Fourth child, my situation is pretty delicate. My mother died shortly after giving birth to me, and my elder sister and I lost most of our support inside the palace. My other siblings, on the other hand, had the support of the stepmother and her faction, and because my two eldest siblings are male, it means that my possibilities to get the succession in the family is very low.
Not that I'm interested in being a Family head though. After all, as someone that has lived for so long, few things can motivate me now. To be honest, I had been king and emperor in some of my spare time in my past life, and it's very tiring.
Even Gods like me in my previous lifetime were bored enough in their eternal life that they occasionally mix along with the mortals.
Unfortunately, my stepmother did not know it. She always thought of me and my elder sister as the biggest danger towards her sons, so she had oppressed us from when we were small. To be honest, I don't care very much about it, but my elder sister has always hated my stepmother and my two eldest brothers.
My stepmother hates me with all her being. It's probably because I always outwit her when she tries to bully me, or because she ends failing every time she tries to find fault with me before the Father. With time, it became a situation where she cannot see me without trying to scold me.
...Well to be honest her mere tricks on me are no more than child play to me who has lived for thousands of years.
To be honest, she is pretty beautiful. My stepmother is 38 this year, with a fair face and wavy Auburn hair and emerald coloured beautiful eyes. Her chests are pretty big, and she radiates a mature charm that attracts all the gazes in the surroundings.
Unfortunately, she always had a hatred-filled gaze when looking at me. But it would be a joke to my status as a God from my previous life if I'm disadvantaged when I face a simple woman.
Like now. Although it looks as though I gave her a reason to scold me for coming late, the truth is that I knew that my second brother was late too, so I simply came late and when she scolded me, I returned the scolding to her son.
And speaking of the devil, my second brother finally entered the dining room.
Unlike me, who came to the dining room wearing fitting clothes, my second brother was dressed sloppily. He had messy hair, and his face was pale and sleepy.
My second brother was a bit fat, and his face always had a wretched and evil expression. He was publicly known as the biggest dog of the empire, but he considered that title as a source of pride as he is a friend and a pawn of the crown prince of the empire.
He did not bother to greet our father or the mother and simply sat in his chair without paying attention to the surroundings. Father frowned seeing his behaviour, but he ignored it and began to eat.
"… You are late, Bryan," Father said while suppressing his rage.
"Uh, I'm overslept." He waved his hand and answered carelessly.
"Hah, it looks like he dares to make us wait for him," I said sarcastically while looking at my stepmother.
When she heard my words, her face burned in rage and she hit the table and stood up. "What do you mean, brat!"
"Nothing, I'm just repeating your words." I laughed softly and began to eat my breakfast, ignoring the reaction of my stepmother.
"You…!" A strong pressure filled the surroundings, but I simply ignored it and continue eating. My father, on the other hand, could not endure this farce anymore.
"Did you not hear me!? I said enough!" Another wave of pressure appeared from my father and suppressed my stepmother's. He then looked around the table and spoke angrily.
"Lily, are you not ashamed as an elder!? And you, Leon, show respect to your mother!"
I ignored him and continued eating my breakfast calmly. My stepmother also sat down despite the rage in his face.
"That bastard is not my mother's son!" But Bryan chose to speak at that moment.
He looked at me with a mocking gaze and an expression of ridicule. "He is nothing more than the son of a slut."
"Clang!" My elder sister, Lena Quentin, let her knife fall at that moment.
"Don't you dare to insult my mother!" She shouted furiously towards Bryan and stood up from her seat.
"What? You don't want to hear the truth, slut?"
"Bastard!" Lena glared angrily at Bryan and extended her hand. Instantly, a fireball materialized above her hand.
A wave of heat filled the surroundings.
When the fireball appeared, Bryan retreated in fear, and my elder brother, Alan, the stepmother and my father stood up immediately.
"What are you doing!?" Alan filled his voice with qi and shouted to Lena, but I grabbed my sword and stood behind her. The dining room was just a step away from becoming a battlefield.
Currently, besides my little sister that was looking at us with an anxious gaze, everybody was ready to begin fighting.
But then, my father opened his mouth.
"Sigh… Is it impossible for us to have a peaceful breakfast at all? Lena, stop. Leon, take your sister away."
"Understood, father." I bowed expressionlessly and grabbed Lina's hand. She glared at our father angrily and realized that he did not plan to reprimand Bryan despite seeing him insult my mother. She then turned around angrily and left.
I followed after her and left the dining room.
Seeing it, my little sister, Freya, looked anxiously to the remaining people at the dining table, and after a brief bow, followed after us.
After we were gone, Bryan snorted in disdain and continued eating. "Trash."
My father, on the other hand, shook his head with a tired expression and left.
