"You dare to fight with us even if you are a waste?" A teenager spat on the ground as he spoke. At his feet lay another wounded teenager, the man Linton had chosen to get the protagonist's aura, Edmund Brown. Marlow.

At this time, Edmund's condition was not very good, he was beaten and covered with injuries, and even vomited blood in his mouth. The reason for the matter is also very simple, today several teenagers in the family come to the outskirts of the city to hunt, this world advocates force, hunting as a family sport can be a good test of the level of force of several people, so if you shine in the hunt, it will naturally be noticed by the high-level of the family.

Edmund, as one of the many illegitimate children who stood out, was naturally very talented, otherwise he would not have been brought to the family to raise, so after the hunt began, he obtained a lot of prey. However, soon, trouble came, and the rest of the clan was naturally unhappy when they saw this bastard advancing vigorously, what qualifications do you have to show your face.

So a few people discussed, surrounded Edmund here, and a group of family members directly beat Edmund and snatched all the things he hunted. Although Edmund has some talent, but several people on the other side beat him, he said that he really didn't dare to play hard, because there is indeed a gap in identity, you dare to hurt the members of the family? If the other party makes trouble, they will be driven out of the family at the least, and they will be ...... at worst

Edmund didn't dare to make trouble, yes, he had encountered such a thing when he first came, and he had already made trouble, but soon he understood that although it was a bloodline, the people in the clan were not the same as his illegitimate son. And everyone is deliberately letting this situation go, the purpose is to make these illegitimate children understand the importance of this surname, otherwise how can they work for you for a lifetime, for this surname.

That's how all bastards are tamed, and Edmund is actually fast, and before long, he will become numb, and then he will continue to pursue all his life to get "family approval", that is, to work for the family all his life, and finally get the name he wants.

But after all, he is young, the young man is still bloody, he was beaten and curled up, and he didn't dare to fight back casually, but his eyes were always staring at the young man in the lead, he was unwilling. Of course, the boy who beat him also saw Edmund's eyes, of course, he didn't have any fear, but he was even more ruthless, this kind of bastard, he was not the first to beat him.

Finally, maybe a few teenagers were tired, and everyone took their prey and left. Edmund curled up on the ground for a few moments before he regained his strength. After a little try, I couldn't stand up at all because of the pain in my body, so I could only sit against the tree next to me.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more Edmund was in this situation now, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, when he was elected to the family at the beginning, he thought that he had finally come to the end of his life, after all, not every illegitimate child could return to the family, he thought that his good life was about to begin, but now he knew that he had entered a hell. Some people say that you can't run away, but it doesn't work, now that he is a member of the family, can you run away without permission? Unless the people in the family drive you away, but if you want to get out of the way, it's almost impossible, and the people in the family are not so stupid, can they let you leave easily?

Edmund thought as his right hand clenched tightly, his fists trembling constantly, and he almost clenched blood. And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from front of him: "Are you willing?" ”

"Who?" Edmund's reaction was normal, and he wanted to stand up in surprise, but he was too seriously injured, and he still sat down immediately, but his fighting quality was not bad, and his right hand immediately touched a stone next to him, and he also made a certain combat move.

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

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

"I can help you." Linton said.

"You're trying to deal with the Narciss, aren't you?" Edmund said immediately.

I have to say that Edmund's brain is not stupid, and his vigilance is also very high, and he guessed Linton's purpose at once. But Linton just smiled and said, "I just want to make a deal with you." ”

"What deal?" Edmund immediately asked, of course he didn't agree, probably just wanted to hear and get more information.

"Although you are very talented, but you are only slightly stronger than ordinary people, if you get the same resources, the growth of those teenagers in the clan will definitely not be comparable to you." Linton said, "But you're just an illegitimate child, and it's impossible for you to get the same resources as them, and you'll end up being a dog of the Narciss, as you know." ”

"......" Edmund didn't speak, and of course didn't deny it, expressing acquiescence.

"Weakness is the original sin." Linton said, "Your power is nothing in front of the family, if you want to get more, you have to be stronger, and I can bring you strength." ”

"You...... What do you want me to do? Edmund asked, thinking for a moment.

"I have something I want, it's in the Narciss's house, but I don't know where it is, maybe it's in a treasure trove or something." Linton said, "I can give you power, and when you gain power, your status in the family will increase, and I want you to inquire about the whereabouts of this thing and bring it to me." ”

"What is it?" Edmund asked.

"A glowing ball." Linton said, "But there's no hurry, your first goal now is to improve your status in the family." ”

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

"Smart choice." Linton nodded. Of course, although he agreed, Linton also knew that he was definitely not sincere, who would believe him if he appeared inexplicably, but there was no way, this disagreement Edmund also knew that he might not be able to go back alive, he was beaten by the children of the family before, if he really died, he might not be able to find out that someone else did it, maybe he should have been beaten to death by a few family children, and he was an illegitimate child, he died if he died, can he still let those family children pay for their lives? Nature is impossible.

Even if it was to save his life, Edmund could only nod his head, of course, he also wanted to try what power Linton said, in case he could really change his fate. As for what Linton said he wanted, it was all for the future, and it would be up to him when the time came, maybe he could use this person who wanted to deal with the family, let the two sides kill each other, and he could benefit from it or something.

In short, Edmund's choice at present can only be cooperation, of course, Linton is not very strange, and he doesn't care if Edmund here really wants to cooperate. After the other party nodded, Linton waved his hand directly, 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 also a little panicked and wanted to resist, but he was seriously injured and couldn't move. Seeing that the other party easily picked himself up, Edmund also knew that he was not an opponent, so he simply held back, and was obediently thrown into the pit by Linton.

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

"Drink the juice of this fruit, and I will bury you in a while, and if you succeed, you will be reborn and given new strength." Linton said.

"If that doesn't work...... Am I going to die? Edmund asked.

"Of course, do you think it's that easy to turn you over?" "Isn't it fair that if you want to gain power, you have to pay with your life?" By the way, you don't have a choice, if you don't cooperate, you'll die. ”

"That'...... Come on. Edmund nodded.

"If you come back to life, just go back to the family first and wait, I will come back to you later, of course, it is best that you can get some family status at that time, if there is no progress, useless people, I will not keep." Linton said.

"I see." Of course, Edmund could only continue to agree.

Linton directly pinched the heart-shaped fruit in his hand, and the fruit on this side quickly turned into purple juice, and Edmund had no choice but to drink the juice. Soon, his body reacted, and his consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell into a deep sleep. Linton looked at the situation, and also turned his hand directly, and the soil next to him quickly gathered back and buried Edmund.

After that, it's just a matter of waiting, yes, Linton's main purpose is certainly not the so-called things to be taken, it's all made up, what Linton wants is for Edmund to make trouble. Linton is still very sure about this, once this kind of person who has been oppressed for a long time gains extraordinary strength, his first reaction is definitely to take revenge on society, and he doesn't need to stare at it. Of course, what should you do if you really meet someone who is particularly scheming and has a special city government that can endure? That's okay, Linton can still trick others into making trouble for him to force him to make a move, and judging from the current situation, this Edmund shouldn't be the kind of person who particularly needs "help".

And after he does it, what Linton has to do is to do his duty as a good citizen of Chaoyang District, that is, to report.
