Strange Worlds-Chapter 299: Quarterfinal (9)

In the past, no matter how many times Leon was beaten up by Evan, Aya, and Dean, the Black Family Patriarch would still scold him and then point out some things to him. After that, he would be kicked to train by himself and the Black Family Patriarch was also busy with other things.

Leon knew very well that his father had high expectations of him.

Because of that, Leon still worked hard and tried his best to meet his father’s expectations. No matter how harsh the Black Family Patriarch is, there were still traces of expectation and hope on him.

But Leon’s talent was indeed not good enough.

Now facing the Black Family Patriarch who was disappointed, Leon looked lost.

"I..."

He wanted to call his father back, saying that he will work hard and that he would not disappoint his father anymore. But at the same time, Leon knew very well that it was impossible for him to do that.

All of the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

"Brother." Lilac saw her brother’s expression and felt really uncomfortable. Unlike her, who has great talent and has been nurtured carefully by the Black Family Patriarch, her brother’s talent was not very good. In the beginning, Leon was indeed taught carefully by the Black Family Patriarch. But as time passed, the Black Family Patriarch spent less time with Leon. freewēbnoveℓ.com

In the end, all the expectations for Leon were met with disappointment.

So the Black Family Patriarch stopped hoping.

It was clear from this battle that Leon’s ability was average in the eyes of the Black Family Patriarch. It was still better than many other magic warriors but it was far from comparable to geniuses.

"Lilac," the Black Family Patriarch called. "You still have to train."

"Yes, Father." Lilac responded respectfully. She looked at her brother once more but didn’t have anything else to say. She knew very well that Leon had to go through this.

In the end, the position of the Black Family Patriarch could only fall to one person.

Lilac knew this.

Even if Leon met the Black Family Patriarch’s expectation, he would still have to fight against her in the future for the sake of this position. To be able to be given up so quickly...

Isn’t it quite good too?

It was indeed uncomfortable for Leon, but Lilac felt that it was better than giving Leon any hope for the position that would never belong to him.

So after a while, Lilac also left.

Leon stood there and watched as his father and sister left.

At this moment, he really felt that he had been abandoned. That there was no one in the world who wanted him.

"Leon..."

They all had walked out and watched this scene. Seeing how the Black Family Patriarch left without any hesitation, they all felt uncomfortable.

For some reason, Evan turned to look at Aya.

In the past, Evan would train a lot with Aya with the White Family Patriarch present. The potential that Evan showed was really good and the White Family Patriarch really thought that his nephew was good. But no matter what, he still hoped that the future patriarch would be his children.

Because of that, the White Family Patriarch still spent some time guiding Aya and also helped Aren to recuperate.

But the result made him desperate.

Aya showed great talent in fighting and also use of magic spells. But the problem of her lack of mana has never been solved and the White Family Patriarch knew that it was impossible for Aya’s mana to increase rapidly in a short period of time.

The White Family was a normal magic warrior family.

They would not be able to be like the Red Family and focused on physical strength, but for some reasons, Aya’s physical strength was far better than her mana improvement.

This made Aya become the strangest person in the entire White Family.

After some time, the White Family Patriarch also gave up on Aya and planned to cultivate Evan more. This move fell on Evan’s eyes and it was somewhat similar to what Leon experienced today.

And Evan felt heartache.

But this world is a world that speak with strength.

Without enough strength and capabilities, there was no way that the White Family Patriarch would give the patriarch position to Aya.

It was the same for Leon.

Of course, what Evan didn’t know was that Aya’s performance was actually on purpose. She had no intention of letting her father or anyone in the White Family to know about her real talents. Otherwise, she would have long replaced her father and become the White Family Patriarch.

Aya didn’t want any of these.

It was too troublesome.

So Aya didn’t feel anything when she saw the White Family Patriarch’s disappointment. She had long known that what the White Family Patriarch was not a daughter but a descendant who could continue to be the future patriarch.

Anyway, her cousin is here.

There was no need for her to step forward.

"Do you want to talk with him?" Silas asked and looked at his cousin, but he couldn’t really console Leon. Because Silas knew very well that Leon had some jealousy of him after that mission. While the two of them never talked about it, they were not as close as they used to be when they were younger.

For this matter, Silas had nothing to say.

It was fine for him that he was not that close to Leon anymore.

But at the same time, it would feel awkward for him to step forward and console Leon.

"No." Evan shook his head. "I don’t think he would want to talk with us right now."

With such a thing happening, how could Leon be willing to talk with them.

Leon looked in their direction and then ran to the forest. He could see that his teammates still cared for him, but...

It was still very painful.

Once he reached the forest of the Black Family where there was no one around, Leon crouched on the ground and cried like a child.
