CHAPTER 79
Naruto was still crunching away at the flesh from the man’s leg…And, I already knew that Borak couldn’t even let out noise of pain, because his acupuncture point of his throat had been pressed.
I knew that my viciousness had all but been extinguished, and now I could feel why some characters in books didn’t just kill. I honestly hoped, that my eldest brother will perhaps come better through this. But, knowing how much he’s endured, and that whoever he is working with isn’t probably someone nice, I couldn’t see a good path in his future…
Why is it that bad guys always stay alive?
Sighing, I waited for Naruto to finish, as I went silent. I didn’t even look at Borak anymore, I knew it was a waste of time.
Honestly, I thought it might be worth killing him now. I don’t need him to find out who’s behind him…Do I?
Even though I came to some agreement in my head, I thought of Talon…
Would Talon want to do something in some kind of revenge? I mean, it would be the best time to do it, while Borak was like this…
Yet, I had the strangest feeling, Talon wouldn’t do anything to Borak. If anything, ‘stupid grandfather’ would, but not Talon…
The pros and cons of leaving him dead or alive, seemed to be equal.
I knew that I would already be known as an a.s.sa.s.sin, who had killed a madam from the estate, but it would be worse if I killed the eldest first son of the Right Minister.
Ah…Well that’s if they catch me…There’s only…One witness…
Moving my head from side to side, in contemplation, I tried to instead, follow my instincts.
…My instincts didn’t seem to say, ‘hey, use him as a punching bag’…Or ‘hey save him or he’ll bleed to death’. It seems that they were quite neutral at the moment…
I considered that I knew that I’d have troubles in the future…Because isn’t that how transmigration books go?
With that thought in mind, I decided to leave him as he is now. He may yet still die, due to blood loss or unable to eat or drink…
But what I thought most, was that…This was just an estate…This was my eldest brother…If I can’t defeat this person or this place, how was I to get any stronger!?
I can’t be weak here, it’s a known fact that it’s a fox eat rabbit world, literally…
Even if leaving him alive now, will make something bad happen in the future…I must learn to survive and endure to the best of my ability, so that I could become stronger…And do what I want to do!
That’s right, I remember wanting to know how I was going to get away with doing what I wanted to do…This was…An answer! Maybe not the right one…But it was an answer nonetheless…
Borak…Will be a stepping stone…Well, if he survives that is…
Naruto jumped upon my shoulder and I made him smaller again. He licked his lips and teeth, then started to clean his blood-filled coat.
I looked at Borak once more, while standing up, my sinister eyes still brightly shining right at his. “We will see what your future holds. I’ll leave it up to fate.”
Noting to myself, to keep an eye on him, I teleport out to go back to Talon.
Samuel stood up as soon as he saw me, “Sahara! Where did you go? Can you help father?”
Furrowing my eyes at the chatterbox, I sighed.
Without a word, I put my hand in Talons again, and spent the rest of my spiritual essence in releasing him from the acupuncture points and cleansing his body.
After just twenty minutes, Talon was able to open his eyes and see me.
Straight away, he thought he had died…Because he could see Sahara!
But as he tried, to get my attention through talking…There was no response from me, because I was busy!
I started to sweat from the forehead more, and Talon finally understood that I was currently in the middle of something. He had been too excited to realize, and Samuel only made it harder for him to calm down, because he was there talking too!
It was…A family gathering…
