Chapter 98

Bang!

A dark reception room.

A place that was once elegant and luxurious was now in a state of chaos.

Porcelain that once displayed beautiful patterns lay shattered and scattered, and the carpet was soaked with a liquid that could be either alcohol or water.

No, the dark red stains on the floor were indeed the warm blood that had been flowing inside a person just moments ago.

“Gag, cough, gasp, ah...”

The person lying on the ground was a young orca-descended child, perhaps around sixteen years old.

“Useless brat.”

“Ple-please, just one more chance... Ba-Byan-sama!”

The child's voice was desperate, but his mouth could no longer open.

A cruel foot had stomped on it.

“How dare you, a weakling, talk back to me? You think I'm a joke, don't you? Don't you?”

“Aah, no, aaaaah!”

The child soon couldn't even scream.

Byan's kicks had hit the vital spots precisely.

And in a corner of the room, there were children tied up and trembling.

Each one was significantly weaker than Byan, and at the same time, powerless to resist, being from a common aquatic animal hybrid family.

They were beings who couldn't make a sound even if Byan took them away as he pleased.

“Sniff, mom, mama...”

Among them, the child of a sardine hybrid was struggling to hold back tears.

This child, the youngest of the group, was only three years old.

While all the surrounding children were incredibly weak hybrids,

everyone seemed to have silently decided to save the sardine child, hiding the sobbing child behind their backs.

“Haa...”

When Byan slowly turned his head, his face was drenched in blood.

His gleaming eyes were filled with cruel laughter and madness.

His gaze was like that of someone who wasn't hunting to satisfy hunger but rather crushing a toy for mere amusement.

“Who should be next?”

Lodesen, who was watching this scene, quietly covered his mouth.

The room where Byan was currently located had special measures in place.

From where Lodesen stood, he could see Byan, but Byan couldn't see him.

Lodesen swallowed hard as he looked at the sealed room where Byan was confined.

‘How could he have fallen to such a state...’

While closely observing what his eldest son was doing,

Lodesen sighed with a mix of regret and sorrow, covering his face.

“Byan Aquasiadel is ordered to be expelled from the intermediate institution for three years and placed under probation for one year. All external activities, meetings with people, everything is prohibited.”
