Chapter 19
"That should be enough."
He mumbled as he lightly kicked the unconscious body of the 2nd brother of his.
Although he felt that he has successfully diverted the attention from Nadia but he still delivered a final blow just to seal this ordeal.
He knew that he has fully conquered the 2nd brother's mind with fear. He was quite sure that in the future, this brother of his won't even dare to appear in front of him much less talk about him to anyone.
The impact and fear he instilled was too strong!
Well, Oliver would need to deliver him back to his courtyard first.
___________________________
After somehow finishing the delivery, he finally returned back to his courtyard and saw Zippy strolling near the gate as if guarding the entrance.
'Looks like the clan guardian finished the business she left for…'
He came to his room and stopped behind the door as he thought about the previous day's events, earlier he could clearly see the trajectory of the 2nd brother's punch in slow motion but when he was getting beaten by them, he was having trouble.
He realized that it must be due to the fact that the special eyes were too powerful for his weak body to adjust to…
His nervous system has also been boosted in strength when he received the permanent strength boost last time.
This probably allowed the special eyes to deliver the signals to his brain properly and also the reason he could see the fast punch in slow motion.
He felt that even now, there was a great margin that he could work on and improve.
If he had such strength earlier when facing the 3rd brother and sister, he might have been able to reduce his injuries significantly.
Although he had the excuse that his espera talent was too pathetic, he should have focused on training physically then.
He could not always wait for his target to make a breakthrough or achievement, he needs to train his body as well.
He shivered as he realized that he might get left behind if he did not train just as much as the main characters, if that happens, his body might not be able to keep up with all the monstrous abilities that he might get in the future.
Not to mention monstrous abilities, he would be receiving a tenfold version of those powers, if the vessel itself was weak then naturally it would break.
He doubted that anything could save him then…
He might even need to train harder than those main characters in the novels in the future if he wanted to be ready to receive great power.
"I need to train hard…" He muttered as his eyes turned serious.
Yawn…
Oliver was also feeling a little tired after all the drama he has been facing since the last few days
"Hah, I am tired!"
He quickly went to his bed and slept for the rest of night not waking until afternoon next day.
He was going to train harder to not die out of overdose of power.

In the 2nd brother's courtyard.
A group of people were gathered outside his room, they all shared similar expressions of confusion, tension, and impatience.
They were some of the elders of the Mystic Purge clan….
In the clan, there were elders who favored one sibling over the others and provided them with preferential treatment sometimes.
These elders were the caretakers of the 2nd son and daughter of the clan head.
After receiving news from the guards that the 2nd young master was found unconscious in his room by a maid, they quickly apprehended her and called for an audience.
"You, servant, tell us what happened to him?" questioned one of the elder sternly, the atmosphere was thick with bloodlust and pressure.
The young maid trembled, her eyes wide with fear as she stammered, "Please, I don't know anything… I-I was simply going about my duties, serving tea to the young master, when I found him unconscious on the floor. I shook him, but he didn't respond, so I immediately called for the guards… Please believe me…" Her voice trailed off in sobs, tears streaming down her cheeks.
The maid explained everything that she had witnessed truthfully.
The elders also noticed this, they were experienced and skilled enough to tell from her body language that she was not lying and was feeling genuine fear from them.
And their common sense also told them that all the servants and guards selected to work in the Mystic Purge Clan were trained rigorously.
Loyalty was ingrained into their brains the moment they stepped food into the boundaries of the clan. It was impossible for any servant to even bear thoughts like this.
So they just ignored her and discussed among themselves…
"What happened to him suddenly? I met him just a few days ago, and he was looking absolutely fine!"
"Wait for some time, the medics are evaluating his condition. We will know shortly…"
They waited for a few more minutes in silence before being called inside by the doctors.
"He is awake but well… his condition is a bit strange. For some reason, he won't speak at all and would keep on shrieking from time to time. His mental condition looks worse, as if someone had attacked his brain."
The medic gave his opinion.
"For now, I have given him a few doses of mind-calming medicine. If this persists, then we will have to think of something else."
"How can this happen so suddenly? It doesn't make sense!"
An elder could not help but shout.
"Calm down, it's highly unlikely that a high-ranking mind demon has infiltrated the clan… Given the barrier, it seems almost impossible. But then, what other reasonable explanation could there be?"
Another elder commented as she fell into thought.
"A demon!? That's absurd! Are you out of your mind!?"
"Hmm…" The last elder, who had been quiet since the beginning and had a profound aura, finally spoke.
"We cannot make bold assumptions without any proof. This is a serious matter. A direct lineage member was attacked as such. According to the hidden guards, he left the courtyard ordering them to stay back and to not follow him, which is strange. The next thing they know is that he suddenly appeared back in his room in that state."
His words made sense to everyone.
"I further asked for a report on his previous day's actions and found something weird."
