Children from Vassal Families! Being talked about!

Chapter 59

In the future, if he aligned himself with a new target specializing in a different weapon, style, and art, he would face difficulties when adapting to that if he wasn't already familiar with it.

Therefore, it was crucial for him to learn these skills by himself and put in some necessary effort as well.

He needed to make the most of the system's capabilities, rather than just waiting for the rewards to come to him all the time.

Relying solely on rewards would even make him useless, something that he didn't desire.

Plus, it would be too boring for him.

The system only granted rewards when it seemed the right time, according to its own standards. And waiting for that would be quite risky, so that would leave him with no other choice but to train hard like everyone else would.

By doing so, he wouldn't regret his decisions in the future either. He was like that and knew that if he kept receiving rewards with no effort, he would lack confidence when facing those who had earned the power by putting in efforts of their own.

He was determined to train harder than others for the great power he would gain.

"The demon hunt is on the edge now; all I can do is wait to see what will unfold there…"

He had some concerns, from his sudden involvement in the participation to the schemes the higher-ups had been cooking and how he could get dragged into unnecessary conflicts and troubles.

But instead of overthinking, he could only wait and see what would happen on the site of the trial itself.

It was time for others to know about him… the clan would soon discover the hidden existence they had all been ignoring so far…

It was time…

In the central area of the clan,

A group of people had gathered in a place a short distance away from the residential area.

The most notable feature of the group was the presence of many children.

These were the children of the Mystic Purge Clan, specifically from the direct lineage of the family.

There were a total of 20 children in total—8 from the main family and the rest from the vessel families.

What were the children from vessel families doing in there?

It was an opportunity; a significant opportunity for them to help their families elevate in the hierarchy and maintain a closer bond by strengthening ties with the main heirs of the clan.

Not just that, it was noted that the rewards for the event were known to always be extravagant and mouth-watering.

Even experts and veterans in the outside world would crave the rewards that were being offered to these growing children.

The Mystic Purge Clan rewarded generously to those who had strength.

Oliver arrived at the venue promptly, and as soon as he did, he received all sorts of stares from the individuals present.

"Look over there, who's he?" a child from a vessel family asked his neighbor.

"He has white hair… is he from the main lineage?"

"But I have never heard about him? My dad told me about all the heirs and I have studied them thoroughly. If it was someone familiar, I would have recognized him."

"Uhh, I cannot sense any espera from him either. He's not weak, is he?" someone questioned.

"I know who he is. From my sources, I think he's the isolated one. I think his name is Oliver. The clan has some rumors that he has no talent, which was why he was isolated to avoid bringing shame to the clan's name."

A slightly taller kid spoke as he looked at others, his voice tinged with contempt as he glanced at others. Naturally, they had all been raised to value strength and power above everything else and would look down on the weak.

He didn't seem to fear the consequences of belittling a main heir of the clan. Knowing Oliver's meager status in the clan, he believed that no one would reprimand him.

The others who heard this were either shocked or seemed to be already aware of it.

Murmurs quickly filled among the group of children…

"What a joke! To think there was someone like this in the main family of the clan."

"Seriously, why are they even letting him live on the clan's estate? Kick him out already."

"My parents would have disowned me had I been born without any talent!"

"Fucking bastard, enjoying the clan's resources while being useless."

"Haha, even so, he has got some guts to participate in the demon hunt event! Does he not fear death or is he simply stupid enough to believe that he could have a chance here?" one of the kids couldn't help but ask.

Another sneered in response, "You've got it wrong. It's not that he doesn't fear death; it's because of the clan's age-old tradition which states that all main heirs must participate in this event."

The murmurs grew more intense; they didn't care whether Oliver could hear them or not.

It was a rare opportunity for them to trash-talk about a main heir of the clan. This must be the first time ever that the children from the vessel families were bold enough to even speak ill of a main heir.

The atmosphere was chilling!

Some still chose to remain silent and just observed the situation, and it was evident that the ones who remained silent were more influential and powerful than the ones chattering loudly.

Oliver ignored them, just like he ignored poop on the streets.

He slowly approached an alienated corner, waiting for the elders to arrive.

"Ha? Look at this. Who do we have here?"

Oliver froze as he heard a familiar voice behind him; his blood started to boil as he instantly recognized the cocky tone.

It was the 3rd brother.

The bastard who had beaten him last time.

Oliver turned around and was now face-to-face with the fellow.

Nonetheless, he calmed his nerves down, knowing that this was an opportunity he had been waiting for a long time.

This was the perfect place to get his revenge for what he had done last time.

"What are you looking at?"

Oliver glanced to the side where a feminine voice had come from; it was the 3rd sister.

Great, both of them were here.

It would be easier to crush them together.

"I asked, what are you looking at?"

The 3rd sister directly grabbed his collar when she saw Oliver ignoring her.

She felt as though she were being ignored by an ant.

Oliver said nothing and just stared at her with cold eyes.
