Chapter 10 - Bastard

Pushing the door open I walked into the massive study room. The walls on both sides had bookshelves that were filled to the brim with books.

A massive chandelier was found hanging from the ceiling that illuminated the entire room, the brown walls along with the exotic carpet and crackling of the fireplace gave the study a comfy vibe.

I should bring some bitches here when I have the chance. I haven't been in some pussy for a while.

Fantasizing about the bad hoes I was going to be bagging in this world I was suddenly brought back to reality feeling three peircing gazes so strong that I thought I was going to die.

Anger formed on my expression as I gazed at the there people looking at me with ill intentions.

"Oh? Is the bastard finally gaining some confidence and now standing up for himself?" Said a smooth masculine voice in a mocking tone, "You've just awakened and think that you can gaze at me like that? Get out of my sight before I cut your eyes out."

I scoffed and used the wind element to appear in front of the fool who had the nerve to talk shit to me and punched him in the face.

"You really have to stop talking shit while not having your guard up Jakari. If I was anyone else you would've been dead, although the jury is still out on that one." I chuckled.

Jakari turned his head back to me clearly pissed off as his golden eyes seethed with killing intent, his black hair that went down to his back floated in the hair like it was defying gravity and he raised his hand as it glowed a vicious black light.

He swung his hand towards me at a speed that most wouldn't even see but thanks to my Kinetic Property I could see the attack clearly and without any hesitation I flashed back to my previous position in front of the door.

Jakari's face contorted into a quick rotation of confusion, shock, and fear as he realized what had just happened. His black robes that were flying around due to his startling speed and the impact of the blow he tried to hit me with stopped and straightened by themselves.

"Kinetic Property?! Impossible! How the fuck is your luck this good?" He howled in disbelief.

I shrugged my shoulders and folded my arms, "I don't know bro. But does it even matter now?" I asked coldly.

Before he could continue with the foolish argument a soft yet cold voice echoed throughout the room, sending vibrations that held us both frozen in place, "Can you stop being a fucking Idiot Jakari? My God, you're an embarrassment to the family, You're supposed to be the heir to the Tiji Family yet you can't even land a strike on a newly awakened bastard."

Feeling the force that was binding us vanish away I turned to the source of the voice and locked eyes with the black-haired and orange-eyed beauty with tan skin whose curvaceous body was tightly wrapped in a black dress with gold ornaments.

I laughed darkly, "Zabrina, my elder sister, can you ever go a day without being a stuck-up bitch? See, this is the reason why no one wants to shoot their shot with you." I mocked.

Her cheeks went red with embarrassment and irritation, "Who told you to speak? Most of these weaklings aren't fit enough to be my toys to break. Besides, I'm saving myself for the Crown Prince."

I tried my hardest to keep a straight face from her response but failed miserably as I busted out laughing and Jakari followed in my footsteps.

A sigh echoed out in the room and I turned towards the only person who hadn't said a word to me since my arrival.

A seductive yet graceful and noble woman with slightly lighter skin than Zabrina stood silently with her curly black hair reaching her shoulders and her golden eyes with a hint of orange locked onto mine. They showed complete disdain and disgust for my existence and the noble and grace aura that unconsciously flared around her made her seem like a demonic goddess that refused to be touched by the lowly mortals of this world as she deemed them below her.

"What's up, Liliana? You gonna say something to me or just stand there like a lifeless doll?" I asked ethically.

It really didn't matter if she responded to me or not as I couldn't care less. All my half-siblings hated me and saw me as beneath them. I'm sure that if it wasn't for my father telling them to leave me alone they would've killed me already.

But my father didn't do this out of the goodness of his heart. No, actually he did it for the opposite reason, he did it to see if I was worth keeping alive.

My awakening and abnormal phenomenon made me exceed his expectations but it didn't have him hitting backflips in the chamber. Although it seemed that I effortlessly made a fool out of Jakari it was not as it seemed at all.

It was very clear I was the weakest one here by a lot. The only reason I was even able to land a hit on Jakari was because of my profession as an assassin and the fact that I caught him completely off guard. There was also the fact that he wasn't even trying at all when he tried to hit me back.

But that didn't change the fact that if that attack did hit me I would've been severely injured if not crippled.

Liliana didn't say a word to me and just shut her eyes and returned to her thoughts. Whatever the hell they were anyway.

"So you unlocked your wind chakra huh?" Jakari examined me as he gave me a hard stare.

"Yeah," I replied bluntly, there was no point in saying no. It was clearly obvious.

"But you're still alive. There's no way Father would let you live if you didn't unlock your dark chakra." Zabrina chimed in, "Huh, well would you look at that? Looks like all of us unlocked more than one elemental chakra, but I refuse to believe that Zaire has unlocked four elements like the three of us. Two should be his max."
