Ryan laughed at Elliot's pale face.
“Ahahaha! Hey, why are you so nervous?”
"You stutter so much, I'm afraid you won't understand. And, brother, I'm warning you in advance that I'm level 2."
Elliot's mouth opened slowly.
Instant death, stage 2. Long-range hunting possible.
He is already in Ryan's prey orbit.
"I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you'll set me on fire and run at full speed. Remember that last time in Rome? It hurt so much."
“I’m sorry... I’m sorry, Ryan...”
“You don’t have to hold onto me, brother. So, just so you don’t do anything stupid and make me angry, right?”
Ryan closed one eye and raised his left hand to block Elliot from his sight.
Instant Death
The one remaining escort falls over.
"Ah..."
Elliot couldn't even open his mouth in front of Ryan, who was even trying to prove that it was stage 2.
He remained frozen, trembling, his eyes wide open. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“Huh?”
Ryan laughed at the sight.
“Are you that scared? I didn’t come here to scare you, brother.”
“Ugh, Ryan...”
“Brother, did you do something wrong to me?”
“...”
"I see, it's because you burned my left hand last time. Hey, it's okay. My brother gave me a lot of money back then, so I got good treatment from a good doctor."
After saying that, Ryan added while caressing his gloved left hand with his right.
“Of course... even though it got better, sometimes I still felt like I was in pain... that’s how it was.”
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry... I’m really sorry.”
“Pfft.”
Ryan burst out laughing as he watched Elliot shed tears.
“Poohahahahaha!”
“Save me... Please, I beg you...We’re family...”
It didn't matter whether Ryan laughed at him or not. Elliot didn't feel bad. He wasn't in a position to do so.
The holder of the special blessing, <Instant Death>, cannot be considered a user with the same ability.
Not just a god in name, but a real god.
Moreover, unlike his uncle, who possessed the same instant death weapon but was weak-willed, Ryan seemed to have come with a purpose.
He was falsely accused of a crime and spent half his life in prison. After being released, he was even burned by his brother, who wanted to kill him.
As he thought about what he had done to Ryan, it seemed clear to him that he would die here today.
He kept crying.
“Let’s talk, brother.”
“Yeah, yeah. Yeah...”
Ryan approached. Elliot roughly clutched his chest, trying to calm his pounding heart.
Soon, click.
“Ahahaha! Hey, why are you so nervous?”
Ryan, you pu... let's talk. You came here because you had something to say to me...
Elliot's mouth opened slowly.
Instant death, stage 2. Long-range hunting possible.
He is already in Ryan's prey orbit.
"I'm telling you this because I'm afraid you'll set me on fire and run at full speed. Remember that last time in Rome? It hurt so much."
“I’m sorry... I’m sorry, Ryan...”
“You don’t have to hold onto me, brother. So, just so you don’t do anything stupid and make me angry, right?”

He kept crying.
“Let’s talk, brother.”
“Yeah, yeah. Yeah...”
Ryan approached. Elliot roughly clutched his chest, trying to calm his pounding heart.
Soon, click.
Ryan put his arm around Elliot's shoulder and started walking.
“Suddenly, my supernatural powers exploded.”
"I see. I'm sorry. You must have had a hard time since you were released, and I couldn't even give you a peek."
"It's okay. But can I go home now? Will my father accept me?"
Elliot's eyes widened.
'Were you just trying to come back?'
His heart, which had been pounding continuously, calms down.
For a moment, he felt like he had been rescued from the flames of hell.
“Haah, ha. Hey, you little shit.”
Elliot lightly tapped Ryan on the chest. Of course, he was scared, so he did it very timidly.
“You call that talking?”
“Hmm, that’s a relief.”
"What were you worrying about? No, that's why you didn't go home right away and came to find your brother first."
“After all, I was the closest to my brother... Aren’t I?”
“That’s right! You followed me the most!”
A warm conversation between brothers continued.
"I did some research and found out you're running various businesses. You have a wide network of connections and make a lot of money. You're living a wonderful life. I'm so jealous."
Ryan whispered, pulling Elliot closer to his neck.
“If I go back, will you give me a seat?”
“Why have you been asking such obvious questions?”
Elliot felt even more relieved.
"Don't worry about that at all. I'll take care of everything. I can't fully compensate you for the unfair imprisonment you endured, but I'll be your older brother, even if it's late."
“That’s very kind of you to say.”
"Just tell me what you want. What's one seat all about? I'll make sure you hear the boss's voice without any complaints."
Elliot quickly played with his tongue to please his brother.
He doesn't think of himself as cowardly at all. It's just the workings of power.
"Money, power, women. Just say the word, and I'll have your subordinates lined up in front of you in a second. Live life to the fullest, enjoying the life you've never enjoyed before. Live like a king!"
“Wow, is it good?”
Elliot smiled brightly, relieved to see Ryan looking so happy.
“But brother, I heard you’re going to do something good today.”
"Huh?"
“I heard everything.”
“Good? ... Ah.”
Elliot understood and froze.
I think you're talking about Cypraxia.
He has a bad feeling about this.
He looks at Ryan quietly.
It seems to overlap. His uncle, who had the same <instant death> ability.
A man who rebelled against his father at every turn. A man who always had the awkward words, "If you have power, do your duty."
Reactionary. Hypocrite.
He was strong enough to trample other people with superpowers under his feet, but he just acted like a good person and got beaten up...
What a goddamn human being.
What kind of guy is Ryan?
How did the younger sibling, whom he didn't know because they were apart, grow up?
What was his motive in freeing all the slaves in Rome?
Are you deliberately seeking petty revenge on your brother? If that were your intention, it would be much more transparent and better...
“Brother? Why aren’t you answering?”
"Ah! Sorry. I was thinking about it. Yes, I know what you mean. Do you want to try?"
"Yee."
“Yes. I put a few things aside in my room, so let’s go there.”
"No, I've gathered everything I'm going to auction off today. Where is it?"
“...”
Elliot shut his mouth. When there was no answer, Ryan leaned in closer and smirked.
“Where is it?”
“...Yes, let’s go.”
There's no point in worrying about it. Whether Ryan has an ulterior motive or not, if you don't want to die, you just have to follow him.
Elliot walked with his head clear.
The landing from the second floor to the first floor.
When you push on a seemingly ordinary wall, it opens into a door.
“Oh! That’s why I couldn’t find it!”
Ryan grumbled from the side. What does "I couldn't find it" mean? No, he doesn't really want to think about it.
After walking about 3 meters, an iron gate appeared.
Elliot took out the key he had kept in his back pocket and opened the thick lock.
“...Damn it, the key doesn’t work.”
Ryan mutters incessantly.
As he opened the iron door, a secret space on the 1.5th floor appeared, so wide that his jaw dropped.
Boxes containing hundreds of Cypraxia are stacked all over the place.
“Haaah. Brother....”
"Huh?"
“This, ha. This much. Ha.”
Ryan continued to trudge in weakly, his arm still around Elliot's shoulder.
He opened a few boxes nearby and checked their contents, then began to look around intently as if he was not interested.
“I’m really pissed. How did you get in here?”
It seems like he didn't come here to get medicine.
“Ryan.”
"What."
“You... why are you here?”
“Why would I come?!”
A nervous voice. Now it's certain.
“I won’t sell it. And I’ll cancel the auction.”
"That's not important right now. Can't you come in through any other door besides this one?"
Elliot's gaze turned somewhere.
A window on the wall.
Ryan dragged Elliot towards him. The window opened easily, but the outside was blocked.
“Oh! You blocked the window from the outside, so I couldn’t see!”
Ryan punched the wall he'd set up as a distraction. It crumbled limply and fell outside with a thud.
"Yes! That's it, then. Come out now!"
Ryan finally let go of Elliot and spread his arms out to the sides.
Then,
The Eyes of the Mirror - Footsteps of Darkness
A small figure wearing a cloak pulled over his head pops out from behind him.
Elliot's eyes widened.
“Hello, brother~ Long time no see?”
A girl with a pretty face, her pink hair fluttering as she lifts her hood.
He doesn't know her face, but she's a person with special abilities.
Then...
“Windsor Castle?”
“Oh, that’s right. The kid my father abandoned.”
"Oh, my god..."
Not everyone is incompetent.
“Pfft.”
Elliot was dazed, but the girl smiled and pretended.
“Ugh. I’m sorry. Ugh, ugh. Ryan, I’m sorry..."
“Hahahahahaha! Hey, did you see that? I thought I was going to die laughing!”
The two men chattered among themselves, mocking Elliot excitedly.
