Chapter 25 You Were Destined To Be Used By Me From The Beginning
"Only a deal? " Erian asked again with a wan smile. "You should know that whatever I taught you were sent back by a man trusted by my father. It may be the only clue to finding him! "
"I know. " Leah nodded.
"You also know that my greatest wish is to head towards the Ancient Desolate War Ground to find my father?" Leah nodded again indifferently. And replied him.
"However, it is just a dream for you. It will never be realized. After all, you are trash who is incapable of nurturing nuclear power.. "
"How many years have you wasted in study, learning the Nine Hells Inferno Fists and acquiring serum residue only to be wasted and yet, that is your limit. But what use was there? You could only be a secondary character, assisting me to achieve my dreams. From the onset, you were already destined to be used by me."
Leah's headful of beautiful white hair danced about in the wind, accentuating her beauty. However, the Erian now didn't have any mood to admire that, for his heart went cold at the words of her ruthless words.
"Trash? Used?" Erian couldn't stop laughing out loud.
It was just at this time yesterday morning, that he discovered the system and its function. And even upgraded the basic cultivation 'Rudimental Cell Rejuvenating Technique'. He had become a real Warrior now with hops of becoming a Titan one day. The previous Erian would hardly wait to share this with her. Who would have thought she had been thinking he was trash the entire time? A pitiful person who couldn't nurture nuclear Power?
His eyes calmed and there seem to be a trace of a carefree smile on his lips "So this is the reason why you told Fu Tian to steal the serum?"
Leah did not answer his question, and replied, " Bane Horton, at age twelve, he had reached level-six, learning to use nuclear energy! at the age of 13, he had already learnt to fill his entire body with nuclear energy . At the age of 15, he stepped into the realm of Titanes, and fused with his first Gene, even having extra space to fuse with a second gene. At the age of 18, his Titan Body had reached a thousand meter! Can you imagine what realm is he now?
The distance between him and you, is as incomparable as the distance between the Heavens and Earth and he's only a Five-star talent. Imagine what level I, a seven star genius will achieve in l just a few years. Even when you die of old age, the most you can achieve is level six. How could you even begin to compare to geniuses?"
Erian chuckled coldly but didn't respond. 'Geniuses?'
Not wanting to listen to his words, Leah continued. "My greatest wish in life is to surpass my father and get out of this infested slums and with the Nine Hells Inferno Fist technique in hand, my journey has become even easier, don't you think? " Leah proceeded to ask.
"You can stay here in peace. I won't use any underhanded method to nib you as a bud. After all, no matter what, you did help me. I'm not someone who is so cold and unfeeling, and will not make things difficult for you. Even if you don't die, the marriage between us has been void ever since our parents died. And in the future, both of us are already destined to be people belonging to different worlds." After speaking, Leah lightly walked past Erian. At that moment, he couldn't help but feel how unfamiliar Leah had become. Or maybe, this was who she truly was at the very beginning. He had only himself to blame for not being able to see through her facade.
"Leah." Erian unexpectedly interjected, causing Leah to halt in her steps.
"Three years ago, your father Will Astria was the one who initiated the marriage engagement with my Falstone family. My foster father did not want to affect your future by agreeing, but yet, under the desperate urgings of your father, he gradually acquiesced."
"In these years, after they passed, I did all I could for you, even providing complete serums to aid you in your practice and although reluctant, I taught you the complete Nine Hells Inferno Fist"
"Five days ago, I aided you in the successful completion of the first Circle of The Nine Hell Fist; Fiendish Limbo Fist, and two days ago, with the help of the high-grade serum I gathered for more than a year, you broke through and awakened your nuclear pulse. And now you actually say you will leave me and not make things difficult for me? this is nothing but a joke. This is not you repaying the kindness owned, but sarcasm instead."
Every word of Erian was injected with indifference as he slowly walked away, "But you are right, from the start, you and me, were destined to be people belonging to different worlds. I accept the nullification of marriage, you are free now."
The sounds of papers ripping apart resounded and two smaller sheets of paper floated along with the wind. One went ahead down the hills while the other seem to have been attracted to Leah, getting stuck with a stone by her feet.
Leah's elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly and she picked the paper up. It was actually a piece of the betrothed document.
She hadn't told him to bring it previously so how did he know she was going to cancel the arrangement?
She couldn't help but stare towards Erian's receding back. She was a bit surprised. In her memory, although he was not stupid, he definitely was not this smart to have seen what was coming, but upon more scrutiny, she noticed that there were changes to him.
But she soon snorted. 'So what? Dragons cannot live with snakes. We are completely different people. I still have a bright future to attain, and the gap between us will only get larger.'
