She…” He shook as the reality of it sank in. “No… You’re lying! You’re all fucking liars! My mother, she… She would never…” Hunter paused, “She would… Oh, heavens. But as the gazes of three children were joined by fourth once Harel turned to him, he felt forced to speak. “Hunter, dearie, I am the child she poisoned.” Neave turned to Marven, who did his best to pretend he wasn’t there. You claim my mother poisoned a child!? What proof do you have of that!?” Neave threw him on the ground and stared him right in the eye. From the mouth of a scion of one of the greatest sects in the Empire.” Even so, I would judge such an individual as worthy of life in slavery or imprisonment.” Even righteous sects would declare such an individual worthy of capital punishment, but I am strongly against that. “That is a heinous act I would regard as equal to, if not worse, killing the child outright. But he humored Neave’s question anyway and gave him an answer. He glanced at Hunter and then back to Neave, unsure of what was happening here. What do you think would be an appropriate punishment for this act?”ĭukean hesitated. Let’s say an individual poisoned a child for years with the intent to make them unable to cultivate.
“Dukey-boy, I have a hypothetical question for you. Neave stared him down and spoke to Dukean. Neave lifted his arm and grabbed Hunter by the mouth. Hunter’s punch landed on Neave’s face, and Neave didn’t bat an eye. “You! You bastard!” Hunter jumped at Neave and punched him. He turned around, fury blazing deep within his eyes. Once they reached them, Neave gave them a cheerful greeting. Marven spotted them a good bit before they arrived. Trying to… Beat him up?Īs they slowly approached the three cultivators, Dukean raised an eyebrow. But that didn’t mean that the experiment had to end here.Īfter quite a bit of scouting, Neave finally spotted Marven’s shiny, bald head in the distance. However, he also thought that prevention was superior to intervention. Neave believed that exterminating those with a negative value in lives was the best way to deal with them. How much did he take after them? Would it be possible to redirect him to the ‘right’ path? Hunter wasn’t a villain, not by a long shot, but he had been raised by the exact type of individual Neave wanted to eliminate the most. He wanted to perform something of an experiment on Hunter. He gave Dukean a vague excuse about introducing him to his allies, but that wasn’t the main reason why he had him follow along. He still felt giddy after Dukean felt his cultivation.Īlthough Dukean insisted that he hurry and meet the others from his sect, Neave urged him to follow along. Neave enjoyed seeing the looks on others’ faces when he shared something unbelievable.
While the spirit oath had confirmed that he wasn’t an enemy or a schemer, that didn’t mean Neave would just tell him every secret he knew right from the start. Neave hadn’t shared much information with Dukean.
