I really can't control myself

"How dare you, a loser like you, fight with us?" a young man said while spitting on the ground. At his feet lay another young man covered in wounds. This man was the man chosen by Linton to be the protagonist, Edmund Marlowe.

Edmund was not in a good condition at this time. He was beaten all over his body and was even vomiting blood. The cause of the matter is also very simple. Today, several young people from the family came to hunt in the suburbs of the city. This world advocates force. Hunting as a family sport can test the level of force of several people. Therefore, if you shine in hunting, It will naturally be noticed by the higher-ups in the family.

As one of the few illegitimate children who stood out among a large number of illegitimate children, Edmund was naturally very talented, otherwise he would not have been brought into the family to raise, so after the hunting began, he obtained a lot of prey. However, trouble soon came. Others in the clan were naturally unhappy when they saw this illegitimate son flourishing. Why do you have the right to show your face?

So several people discussed and surrounded Edmund here. A group of family members beat Edmund directly and took away everything he had hunted. Although Edmund had some talent, he really didn't dare to hit him hard because there was a gap in identity. How dare you hurt a member of the family? If the other party makes trouble, at least he will be kicked out of the family, or at worst...

Edmund didn't dare to make a fuss. Yes, he had encountered such a thing when he first came here and had already made a fuss. But he soon understood that although they were of the same blood, the people in the clan and his illegitimate son were not the same. the same. And everyone is deliberately letting this situation go. The purpose is to let these illegitimate children understand the importance of this surname. Otherwise, why would they work for you for the rest of their lives just for this surname?

This is how all illegitimate children are tamed, and Edmund is actually fast. Soon, he will become numb, and then begin his lifelong pursuit of "family approval", which means giving the family a lifetime of recognition. After a lot of work, he finally got the name he wanted.

But after all, he was young, and the young man was still bloody. He was beaten until he curled up into a ball, and he did not dare to fight back casually, but he kept his eyes fixed on the leading boy, and he was unwilling to accept it. Of course, the boy who beat him also saw the look in Edmund's eyes. Of course, he was not afraid at all, but he struck harder. This was not the first time he had beaten such an illegitimate child.

Finally, perhaps because the teenagers were tired from hunting, everyone took the prey and left one after another. Edmund curled up on the ground for a while before he regained his composure. I tried a little, but my whole body was so painful that I couldn't stand up at all, so I could only sit against the tree next to me.

The more Ren thought about it, the angrier he became. This was the case with Edmund now. He really felt more and more frustrated the more he thought about it. When he was first selected into the family, he thought he had finally come to the end of his hardships. After all, not every illegitimate child can return. When he came to the family, he thought that his good days were about to begin, but now he realized that he had entered a hell. Some people say that you can just run away, but that's not possible. Now that he is considered a servant of the family, can you run away privately? Unless the people in the family drive you away, it is almost impossible to escape intact. The people in the family are not that stupid and can they let you leave easily?

As Edmund thought about it, he clenched his right hand tightly, his fist trembling constantly, and it almost made him bleed. And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from in front of him: "Are you willing?"

"Who?" Edmund's reaction was normal. He was surprised and wanted to stand up. However, the injury was too serious, so he immediately sat down. However, his fighting skills were not bad. His right hand immediately touched a stone next to him. Completed certain combat moves.

"I ask, are you willing?" At this time, a figure slowly walked out from in front of Edmund. Of course, the person who came was Linton. At this time, Linton was wrapped in a robe and looked very suspicious. Of course, Edmund's first reaction was that Linton was not a good person.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?" asked Edmund.

"I can help you," Linton said.

"You want to deal with the Narcisse family, right?" Edmund said immediately.

It must be said that Edmund was not stupid and was very vigilant. He immediately guessed Linton's purpose. But Linton just smiled and said, "I just want to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Edmund asked immediately. Of course, he didn't say he agreed. He probably just wanted to hear and get more information.

"Although you are very talented, you are only slightly stronger than ordinary people. If they get the same resources, the growth of those young people in the clan will definitely not be as good as yours." Linton said, "But you are just an illegitimate child. , it is impossible for you to obtain the same resources as them, and in the end you will only become a dog raised by the Narcisse family, you should also know that."

"..." Edmund didn't say anything, and of course he didn't deny it, indicating his acquiescence.

"Weakness is the original sin." Linton said, "Your strength is nothing in front of the family. If you want to gain more, you must become stronger, and I can bring you strength."

"What... do you want me to do?" Edmund thought for a while and asked.

"There is something I want. This thing is at Narcisse's house, but I don't know where it is. It may be in a treasure house or something." Linton said, "I can make you gain strength, and gain After gaining strength, your status within the family will be improved. I want you to find out the whereabouts of this thing and bring it to me."

"What is it?" Edmund asked.

"A glowing ball." Linton said, "But there is no rush. Your primary goal now is to improve your status within the family."

Edmund seemed to think about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you."

"Smart choice." Linton nodded and said. Of course, although he agreed, Linton also knew that he was definitely not sincere. Who would believe him when he appeared out of nowhere? He was beaten to death by a family member before. If he really died, no one else would be found to have done it. Maybe he would be beaten to death by several family members. But he, an illegitimate son, would just die if he died. Can those family members pay for it with their lives? Naturally it is impossible.

Even if it was to save his life, Edmund could only nod. Of course, he also wanted to try the power Linton mentioned, just in case it could really change his destiny. As for what Linton wants, that is a matter for the future. We will see the situation at that time. Maybe he can use this person who wants to deal with the family to let the two sides kill each other, and he can benefit from it.

In short, Edmund's only choice at present is cooperation. Of course, Linton is not very surprised and doesn't care whether Edmund here really wants to cooperate. After the other party nodded, Linton waved his hand, and a pit appeared on the ground next to him, using a simple earth escape ninjutsu.

"Go in and lie down." Linton directly picked up Edmund here. Of course, Edmund was a little panicked and wanted to resist, but he was seriously injured and couldn't move. Seeing the other party lifting him up easily, Edmund also knew that he was no match, so he simply held back and was thrown into the pit obediently by Linton.

"Are you going to bury yourself alive?" Edmund's first reaction was this, but before he could make any move, Linton directly took out a fruit-like object with purple light. , although Edmund didn’t know what it was, but just seeing it made him feel that this thing was not simple.

"Drink the juice of this fruit, and I will bury you in a while. If successful, you will be reborn and gain new strength." Linton said.

"If it doesn't succeed...will I die?" Edmund asked.

"Of course, do you think it's that easy to make you stand up?" Linton said, "If you want to gain power, you have to pay the price with your life. Isn't this fair? By the way, you have no choice. , if you don’t cooperate, you will die.”

"Then...come on." Edmund nodded.

"If you survive, go back to the family first and wait. I will come back to you later. Of course, it is best if you can gain some status in the family by then. If there is no progress, I will not be a useless person. I'll keep it," Linton said.

"I understand." Of course Edmund could only continue to agree.

Linton directly squeezed the heart-shaped fruit in his hand, and the fruit here quickly turned into purple juice. Edmund had no choice but to drink the juice. Soon, his body responded, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he entered a deep sleep. Linton looked at the situation and turned his hand over. The soil next to him quickly gathered up and buried Edmund.

The next thing is to wait. Yes, Linton's main purpose is of course not the so-called thing to get. That is completely made up. What Linton wants is for Edmund to make trouble. Linton is quite confident about this. Once a person who has been oppressed for a long time gains extraordinary power, his first reaction will definitely be to retaliate against society, and he doesn't need to keep an eye on him. Of course, what should you do if you really meet someone who is very scheming and very intolerable? That doesn't matter, Linton can still trick others into causing trouble for him and force him to take action. And judging from the current situation, this Edmund is probably not the kind of person who particularly needs "help".

After he took action, what Linton had to do was his duty as a good citizen of Chaoyang District, which was to report it.
