CHAPTER 78

 

I remember reading stories previously about blocking one’s cultivation base, and hoped that it was something like that…

What I hadn’t known, was that my type of ‘blocker’, was quite powerful, because I made the blocker become the wall itself. Normally a ‘blocker’ would be inserted by some other means and would put some kind of different material in place that went over the wall, somewhat like a s.h.i.+eld or bubble. But since I had made my spiritual essence become part of his dantian wall itself, any who could attempt to break this ‘blocker’, would have to create their own cracks in that wall…Which is really quite dangerous.

 

After I had finally finished, I breathed out and opened my eyes.

I knew that Borak wasn’t even in a bed, and was just lying hopelessly on the floor, but I didn’t care.

I guess I didn’t have enough sympathy to get him into his bed…Honestly, while I’m ‘bad’, sympathy is something practically unheard of…Even when I had gotten ‘revenge’ for him with my ‘mother’, it was mostly to give him a good show. Not much of that was sympathetic…

He had already chosen his way, and done bad things…So, I felt nothing.

What seemed to be somewhat unavoidable, is the way that I think and feel. I knew that my eldest brother would have led a different life, if his mother hadn’t been killed and given him such hate. Yet, it was something that I could not fix…

Again, like how I felt like with Celeste’s problem with not bring up Gabriella better, I felt the same with this.

It had nothing to do with me…

I was here to save Talon and have it so that he was safe.

 

Teleporting, to be in front of Borak, officially my eldest brother, I bent down and just stared at him.

I really did not think that he would confess on who was behind him. My eldest brother seemed to me like he was a proud person and someone that could endure…Considering that he lived with the person that had killed his mother for over a decade, I’d call that enduring. And enduring, was something I understood very well.

Sighing, I continued to stare. If I couldn’t think of a way to get him to talk and tell me who was behind him, I’d have to leave him alive.

But, if I leave him alive…

A little conflicted, I turn my head to Naruto, “What you reckon?”

“Arf.”

Great help!

I wasn’t surprised or mad, Naruto never really helped me decide with anything…It just sorta became a habit, to ask him questions…

Picking up Naruto, I made him a bit bigger, and watched as Borak’s eyes widened with terror.

Mmm

“Arf”

Blankly staring at the little s.h.i.+thead, I then looked up and silently ask for help, in understanding beast language.

“Arf.”

Sighing, I turned back to Naruto and said, “If you are hungry, you can’t have his middle part and head, just eat an arm or leg.”

To my surprise, in just a few moments, Naruto had jumped down and chomped down upon one of Borak’s legs.

It worked! I must be beast whisperer!

But, I honestly thought that he wouldn’t be hungry…I was originally just trying to scare Borak…

 

Looking at Borak, I don’t ask him anything, just stared back it his eyes, that showed utter agony and despair.

Naruto stopped after the third bite, making the chunk fall to the floor and he nibbled at it, as he sat down on the floor. He really tended to take after me and be lazy…

The little s.h.i.+thead must be full…Haha, he helped me out back there with my ‘mother’ and Borak’s men, I don’t blame him.

Turning my head, looking at the man that had one small tear go down the side of his face, I widen my eyes in return.

Will he be able to come good? Is there a chance that he can let go?

I leaned against the side of the bed and put my knees up, hugging them, “It really does make me wonder how you lasted so long, living with someone that killed your own mother…”

The despair in Borak’s eyes suddenly turned blank.

“Yeah, I know it. I knew something was going on, just didn’t know what.”

Sighing and nodding my head, I breathed in and said, “I know there’s someone behind you, as well.”

I watched, as I saw Borak’s eyes narrowed.

I narrowed my own eyes in return, I was sure, even now, that he wouldn’t say anything. I just felt like I was already wasting my time!
