Chapter 157 - Shameless Beyond Compare
The Bloodline System
From his position at the entrance, Gustavâs sight followed where the manâs finger pointed to inside the apartment. He saw a black cube floating above the shelf on the other side of the living room.
"Oh, thank you," Gustav said and walked in while the man moved towards the side.
Gustav walked into his former abode and looked around the place.
He noticed that neither his brother nor his mother was in the living room which gave him a sense of relief. He really didnât mind meeting them but he would rather not spend an extra second than he was supposed to in here.
"If the cube is yours, it should react to your presence," The man spoke from behind while staring at Gustavâs back.
Gustav arrived in front of the shelf and just as he said, the cube flew towards him and landed on his palm.
"I will now take my leave," Gustav turned around to head out but he was blocked by the man.
"My son is also participating in the MBO entrance test, I want him to have allies with high graded bloodlines such as yourself," The man voiced out with a pleading look while staring at Gustav.
Gustav stared back at him with an expressionless look, "Iâm sorry mister, I canât be allied with your son," he said while moving towards the left and passing by the manâs side.
"But why? I just showed you kindness by letting you into my home and you want to repay me with this ungrateful attitude!" He voiced out loudly.
Gustav paused before he got to the door and slightly turned his head towards the side.
"I canât help your son since I only have an F-grade bloodline," Gustav voiced out with a smile.
"What? Youâre an F-grade mixed-blood?" The man voiced out with a look of disbelief.
"Hnm," Gustav nodded in response.
"I allowed such filth into my home! Ptoi!" The man shouted with a look of repulse and spat towards the side.
"Get out!" He shouted out once again.
"I was already..." Before Gustav could complete his sentence, a woman rushed out from the passageway behind, with a look of urgency.
She looked to be in her early forties, sporting long brown hair.
She bore an uncanny facial resemblance to Gustav. Even though Gustav looked a lot different from how he used to be, they still had similar facial looks which was noticeable if one looked closely enough.
"Whatâs wrong honey?" She said immediately she arrived before the man and held onto his shoulder.
"Look at this F-grade filth that walked into our home!" The man shouted while pointing at Gustav.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What? An F..." The woman who was obviously Gustavâs mother was speaking when she noticed the face of Gustav which was slightly turned towards their direction.
"You..." She said with widened eyes.
"Whatâs wrong?" The man beside her who happened to be her husband as well as Gustavâs birth father asked when he noticed the weird look on his wifeâs face.
"Gustav...?" She voiced out with a look of disbelief.
"Eh?" The father exclaimed with shock before turning to stare at Gustav.
His eyes widened as he finally noticed the resemblance between the boy and his wife.
He stared at Gustav from head to toe and from toe to head several times. The look of disbelief was so obvious on his face.
âWhatâs with that confident look and expression,â
"What... How... Did he change so much?" Gustavâs father couldnât help but ask with his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
The last time his father visited the house was around eight months ago so he couldnât understand how such a tremendous change could occur in less than a year. It made no sense to him no matter how much he thought about it.
"But you said he was dead!" The father said while pushing his wifeâs arms away from his shoulders.
"Erm honey I.. I.. I.." She stuttered repeatedly while trying to reply.
Gustav snorted and turned around to leave.
"Erm, Gustav, hold on... This isnât what you think youâre our precious son too, you have to look after your brother in the MBO," The mother said frantically.
The father was once again dumbfounded by her statement and wondered where this was coming from.
Gustav paused his steps again and turned around to stare at her.
"Iâm just an F-grade though, how can I be your precious son or watch over your truly beloved son?" Gustav asked.
"Come on son, donât be like that... I know that with your teacher entering into the MBO should be an easy task, wonât you watch over your little brother, Endric," She said with a loving gaze while staring in Gustavâs direction.
âWhat a shameless woman,â Gustav said internally before turning around.
"Sheâs no longer my teacher and I have to pass the test before getting in," Gustav stated just as he got to the door.
"Oh, is that so," The look on his motherâs face suddenly changed into that of disgust, "I knew you would never be able to keep such a high-class person as your teacher... Useless will always be useless," She voiced out with a repressed look.
The father stared at them from the side in silence since he was unable to keep up with the conversation.
"Donât think youâre better than my lovely son, he will defeat you in the camp! Yes, he has already left home for the tower as a special candidate he wonât be joining the likes of you for the test!" She added with a crazed look.
Gustav opened the door. His face was still as expressionless as ever. He couldnât even be bothered to banter with her.
"I have been lenient twice... The next time your son crosses path with me, bearing foolish intentions... I will destroy him," Gustav said with such a cold tone that even his parents shivered after hearing his words.
Bang!
Before they could regain their composure, Gustav had already left the apartment.
"What was that? I sensed the energy of a serial ranked from him... What is going on?"
