Chapter 134: Boris Extra (Part 3) Jealousy and resentment in his heart...
The father, who had lost his mind, became even more dim after hearing the man's questioning.
"It's my fault. I didn't protect her well..."
My father's voice was hoarse and his face was full of loneliness.
"But the child is innocent. Don't forget, it's her child. If anyone has to go down to accompany her, it should be me who dies with her. This is my responsibility!"
"Responsibility? What qualifications do you have to talk about responsibility?"
The man let go of his hand with disdain and threw his father aside. "If you really loved her, you should have fought with me for this position and stood at the top of power to protect her instead of running away like a coward!"
"What have you gained from hiding here and there for all these years?"
"Did she really get the happiness she wanted? At least...if it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died!"
He questioned in a cold voice, but his eyes gradually turned red with mixed emotions.
Facing his silent father, the man turned his head, calmed himself down, and stared at Boris and Will again.
"Yes, you are right, the child is innocent."
He murmured softly, stroking the ring in his hand subconsciously, "If I kill you, she will definitely hate me..."
"In that case, make a choice."
The man sat back on his high seat and forced his father to look him in the eye.
"I just happen to be in need of an heir, and these two children look a bit like her."
His narrow eyes looked at Boris and Will, with a hint of mockery in his expression.
"Among them, I will take one away and raise him as my own child. I will let him regain the status and treatment of a noble. He will also be trained as my heir."
Before his father could respond, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he continued, "Correspondingly, the other child will enter the vampire camp and receive the same treatment as the blood slaves."
"Not only that, I won't kill you. You can continue to stay in the vampire clan and visit your children regularly - of course, you can only visit the one who is the heir."
"Well, am I kind enough?"
"kindness?"
The father sneered and glared at the man angrily, "Bah! You might as well just kill me! Why are you taking the child out on me?"
"Ah, you are really stubborn."
Under absolute power, the man was not annoyed by his father's disrespect at all. He looked at him playfully, as if he was watching the fish on the chopping board making its final struggle.
"I'll give you five minutes. If you can't choose, let them all go to the Blood Slave Camp."
Heir?
The other party's status is extraordinary. If he can become the heir, he will be able to be like the other party in the future, in charge of the life and death of others in the blood clan...
A desire for power surged in his heart, and Boris glanced at the unconscious Will.
If he could become the heir, he would definitely take Will out of the blood slave camp if he had the chance. Then they and their father could live the same life as before!
"Father! Father, please choose me!"
Boris shouted loudly, squirming his body, trying to attract his father's attention, "My magic talent is better than Will's! I will definitely be an excellent heir!"
"Look, your children are begging you desperately... Can you bear to let them all go to the blood slave camp?"
The man played with the wrench with ease. "That's where the lowest-class blood slaves stay. There's not even a bed. When they go there, they can only sleep on haystacks."
“…”
The father said nothing. Meeting Boris's pleading gaze, he clenched his fists, but could do nothing.
Time passed by little by little, and seeing that the deadline given by the other party was approaching, Boris became anxious.
"Father! Please choose me! I will definitely treat you well in the future!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, fighting for his last chance, "Don't worry! I will definitely take care of Will! I won't let him suffer in the Blood Slave Camp!"
"Please! Choose me!"
Looking at Boris, the father cruelly turned his gaze away and fixed it on the unconscious Will.
"…I…I choose Will."
His voice trembled as he made a cruel choice.
"Why! Why is it Will again!"
Boris' eyes widened as he looked at his father in disbelief.
"From childhood to adulthood, have I ever fought with Will for anything? As long as he likes something, I have to make concessions! Even if I am his brother, I will tolerate small things, but why this time?"
He looked crazy, with red bloodshot eyes.
"Do you know why your identity was discovered? Why was it discovered by the vampires after hiding for so many years? All thanks to your good Will!"
A mournful laugh echoed through the hall, and his father looked up in astonishment, meeting his gaze.
"He was the one who sneaked out and sucked the blood of the demons! He was also the one who stopped me from dealing with the demons who knew about it!"
"If it weren't for him, our family would be fine now! He shouldn't have been born into this world! His existence is a mistake!"
Boris roared, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and resentment he had felt over the years.
"How could it be... Will is not that kind of child..."
"It's like this! You're still speaking for him!"
He interrupted his father's explanation, became so angry that his chest ached and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Scarlet liquid flowed down the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
“From the beginning to the end, you and mother have never loved me… You only know Wilvel, he is your only child!”
"Just wait... If I have the chance, I will never let him off easily..."
Perhaps due to his rage, Boris's breath became weaker and weaker, and he fainted.
Snap, snap, snap.
Sarcastic applause was heard from above. The man raised the corner of his mouth and walked down from the platform step by step.
"Oh my, what a drama of father and son turning against each other."
He looked at his father teasingly, "Your child has a very violent temper. I wonder if the other one is the same?"
"……you!"
The father gritted his teeth and looked at the man hatefully.
"But I have good news for you."
The man changed the subject and moved closer to his father, "The news we received was indeed reported by the demons. Moreover, they were the demons in your village."
"He said your family would eat people, and he grabbed his neck and licked the blood like a monster."
He admired his father's ugly collapse.
"For this reason, I specially sent someone to investigate, and only then did I confirm your location."
"Unfortunately, there were only these two children at home at the time. I had people ambush and wait for you to come back, just to catch you all in one fell swoop."
The man deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words.
"So, that child didn't lie. Your family has fallen into this state because of the other child..."
As he spoke, he approached the unconscious Veer and caressed his tender cheek affectionately.
"Looking closely, this child seems to be more like the mother. And it is also thanks to him that I can easily find your trace. He is my lucky star."
The man simply picked up Will and personally untied the restraints on his hands and feet.
"From now on, he is my heir..."
From then on, Boris hated his father and Will, and he met Cecia in the blood slave camp.
After Will regained consciousness, he came to the Blood Slave Camp to look for him many times, but he never treated him well. Will didn't know what he had done wrong, and over time, he stopped coming.
After staying in the blood slave camp for a long time, he learned the identity of the man. He was the current leader of the blood clan, and Will, as his successor, was most likely to become the next leader.
But what about him?
He could only stay in this desolate and dilapidated place, eating cold and dry bread, sleeping in a haystack full of insects and rats...he was not even living a decent life.
Jealousy and resentment grew wildly in his heart.
By chance, Boris heard others discussing that a certain forbidden technique could forcibly awaken the bloodline and enhance the talents of vampires, but it could only be used by underage vampires.
It also requires draining the blood of two people alive, and the method is too cruel and is now banned.
For him, it became the only way to escape from here.
He pretended to reconcile with Will and used him to obtain the materials needed for the forbidden technique. He also lured Cecilia's parents into the forbidden area and made them victims.
As expected, his suddenly awakened talent attracted attention. There was a debate among the nobles, and they would not allow such an excellent bloodline to be left in the blood slave camp.
There was even a count who was willing to adopt him.
He was very happy, but Cecia, who was to be the living sacrifice, escaped overnight, causing him to lose face during the ceremony. He had to randomly capture a blood slave as her replacement.
Later, it was revealed that he had used forbidden techniques.
Most nobles thought his actions were too cruel, so they deliberately distanced themselves from him. The earl who adopted him was therefore feared and talked about by others, and he was even more disgusted with him.
He would beat or scold him for no reason and take out his anger on him.
Fortunately, Boris is indeed smart.
At the age of fourteen, he learned to restrain his edge and acquired the hypocritical etiquette of the nobles.
He was able to get along with everyone and attend all kinds of social occasions. In five years, he successfully made everyone forget his true identity.
When people talk about Boris, all they have to say is praise.
"He is elegant and noble, with gentle and proper manners, and his talents are even better than his brother's."
"The next commander? I hope he will be the next commander, but have you forgotten his brother's adoptive father? The commander will definitely do his utmost to help his successor..."
At the age of 22, Boris was unable to defeat the old commander, and Will became the next commander.
On the day the other party succeeded to the throne, he sneaked into his father's room and killed his crazy father.
Over the years, his hatred for his father has only grown. Once Will has established a foothold in the vampire clan, his father will be more closely protected.
By then, he will have no chance to take action.
"…Why? Why did you do this?"
Will followed the clues and found them all the way to him. The eyes that always looked at him with admiration were now filled with disappointment and doubt.
"Brother, or should I call you Earl now?"
Will grabbed his collar and said, "I know that your father didn't choose you, and you are unhappy about it. But over the years, I have been trying my best to make it up to you!"
"In that situation, it would have been hard for my father to choose anyone. He chose me only because I was weak and he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive in the blood slave camp!"
"What about me? Can I survive?"
Boris did not give in at all, staring into Will's eyes. The two similar faces gradually came closer, but there was no affection left.
"Is this why you killed your father? Are you going to kill me too?"
The magic power surged in Will's body, condensing into blue frost around him.
"No, I won't, my dear brother."
Boris said calmly, and stroked Will's forehead with his right hand, "Go to sleep. When you wake up, we will still be brothers..."
