Chereads / The Dragon’s Way / Chapter 8 - Cousin Liam

Chapter 8 - Cousin Liam

The man carried with him a hard gaze, yet, behind those eyes held a tumultuous nature.

His body posture gave off an air of elegant power too, vibrating with true energy.

He was at a Strength of fifth level.

Zeke's Might helped him see right through the interloper and instantly recognized his level.

"Help me! Kill this b*stard!" screamed Madam Lisa.

Seeing her cousin appear, Madam Lisa could not help herself, but got excited.

Even though her face was caked with fresh blood, her cunning and venomous eyes implied only one thing:

Kill! Just kill this b*stard!

Seeing his cousin lay there broken, Liam flew into a rage.

However, his demeanor changed quickly when he gazed upon the assailant.

Zeke stood before him, confident, and sure of himself, it was as though he gave off an air of supreme capability.

Liam, unsettled by this new development, demanded, "How is this possible? How is this b*stard's level higher than my own?"

Before Liam continued, his body began to shiver.

He was not afraid — but he will be soon — for Zeke's energy was holding him in place.

If Liam were to make a move, Zeke would not hesitate to attack.

"How is he so strong? Was he acting all this time?" murmured Liam.

He could tell that Zeke was stronger.

A violent shockwave emanated, and Liam was absolutely terrified.

Liam felt like he was staring upon a great dragon, one which roared directly at his face.

It was no surprise for Liam to realize his will to fight had faded.

He felt that the surrounding air had somehow slowed itself down, making it difficult to breathe.

Liam dropped to his knees, he could not withstand Zeke's power any longer.

"I'm sorry for my insolence, I'm here to greet the young master!" Liam squealed.

He was shaking, he had never been this terrified his whole life.

Liam was not able to withstand Zeke's advances, he knew Zeke could have easily wiped him off the face of the Earth if he desired to.

He knew he could only beg for mercy.

Seeing Liam on his knees as he begged for Zeke's mercy, once again, shocked the onlookers to their core, they could do nothing as they stared at him in disbelief.

"You pig!" exclaimed Madam Lisa, not believing what was occurring.

Liam felt resentment being built inside him; Madam Lisa was nothing more than a distant relative, yet she often hung his name over her head as an excuse for recognition.

Regardless, he never once thought that she would be this stupid.

"Liam!" yelled Zeke.

"Yes, master!" replied the Khan official.

He could not help but shiver at his name being called, Zeke pressed down on Liam further.

"Tell me, who is the rightful heir to the Khan!" Zeke said with playful delight, a sly smile danced across his face.

"It's y-you, of-of course…!" Liam' replied instantly.

He knew what Zeke was thinking, and instinctively swiped Madam Lisa a hateful grimace.

"You're right! You are a smart one!" Zeke snorted out, his smile was cunning yet terrifying.

"Lily, let us leave," he called out, gesturing for her to follow.

Lily simply blinked and followed him dutifully.

"Liam, are you daft? Why did you let that b*stard go? He attacked me, you should have killed him!" spat Madam Lisa.

In her anger, she could not stop herself from staining the ground with her bloodied words.

That however, did not stop her from the relentless screams thrown at Liam.

Liam did not reply, but only glanced at the screaming bimbo, he thought how she almost cost him his life.

With a swift hand, Liam reached out and snapped Madam Lisa's neck.

The servants screamed in unison.

Madam Lisa could not do anything but stare at Liam in disbelief as she fell limp.

"Please, shut up," he cursed.

He could not shake off the feelings that Zeke exuded, he was both terrified and shocked, mostly terrified.

"Everyone thought Zeke was a useless b*stard, yet, unbeknownst to all, he was hiding, a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

'He's at least a Strength of level six! Somehow, he achieved this without the clan's help… how is this possible!?' Liam pondered in silence.

After a while, he exhaled a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze towards the servants.
