I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 97: Hospitalize

Few days have passed by since the attack of Monster Overlord. Many of the nations from the Civilization Society end up in chaos. The Monster Overlord takes a base on the Holy Alliance nation and begins to invade the surrounding nations.

Feeling such a threat from the Monster Overlord, the nations nearby the Holy Alliance were forced to work together to defend themself. Through this joint effort, the nations managed to contain the Monster horde in the Holy Alliance.

Still, this is only possible as the Monster Overlord didn't step in during the small invasion. The Monster Overlord seems like it has gone into thin air. No one knows where the Monster Overlord's current location is after the first big invasion a few days ago.

In the meantime, the situation inside the Heart kingdom has become more stabilized as King Leon sends the Exterminator Squad to hunt and kill all the escaped prisoners. King Leon didn't give them any mercy and directly commanded all the escaped prisoners to be executed.

He even put a series of high bounty towards the escapes. Unfortunately, they couldn't find any trace of Orpus and a few other people from section six of Altez Prison.

Meanwhile, Angus is still recovering inside the private noble's hospital. Now, he is having a conversation with the Exterminator Chief Squad about the current accident.

The current assassination attempt is very dangerous since they could be going inside the royal palace without anyone knowing.

"So, to summarize. There is another Bloody Star member that is killing this Naz person. Then, he/she explained that the Bloody Star will never target royalties and this Naz is banished from their group. Is that all?" asked the man in front of Angus.

"Yes, that's all." replied Angus nonchalantly.

After looking at Angus for a moment, "Alright, thanks for your cooperation. Hope you get well soon. young master Victory." said the man before leaving Angus alone.

After getting out from Angus's quarter, "Chief, did you think that kid is hiding something?" asked the other man.

"Yes, he may have concealed something from us. Until now, no one survived when they met with a Bloody Star member." said the Extermination Squad Chief.

"Then, why.." said the other man.

"Josh, I know that kind of look," said the chief.

"Sorry??" asked Josh confusedly.

"I know that kid's look. It is the look of someone getting defeated." said the chief.

After a while, "Besides, that kid is highly noble and there are more important cases than this one. We still need to hunt those prisoners." explained the chief.

"Then, what should we write in the report?" asked Josh.

"Of course, just give some believable explanation along with the kid's story. Let me remind you, now our forces are spread thin. The last thing we want is fighting against a big underground organization like Bloody Star." explained the chief towards his subordinate.

"Y-Yes, sir."

"Good, let's move along. There is still much more to do after handling this case." said the chief while walking away.

Unbeknown to Angus, they thought he was devastated because couldn't do anything to the intruder. However, Angus himself didn't think too much about this accident.

'Haa… I am still weak. But, there is still a huge difference in combat capability between high-grade combatants and me. This is a fact and I cannot solve it in a short time.' thought Angus inwardly.

Then, Angus checked his status panel.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 12 Years Old

MP: 163/163

Heritage chi: ???

Strength: 25

Dexterity: 25

Intelligence: 40

Vitality: 40

Soul Point: 56

After forming his mana core, there is a major increase in Angus's mana for a few months. Then, it begins to grow slowly even Angus using his special breathing technique continuously.

His strength and dexterity are also grayed out once again after reaching the 25 marks. However, Angus feels that his body strength has already reached its limit.

'Despite having this kind of strength. I still get toyed by that assassin.' thought Angus inwardly

This shows how vastly different beastkin physical strength is when Naz toying Angus despite his already reached his body pinnacle strength.

Unbeknown to Angus, he didn't know that every member of Bloody Star is unique and stronger than their peers. In Firuman, the name of Bloody Star is famous in the underworld. Each of these members is special and rarely misses their target.

They are also famous for their stealth ability and never leave a single witness. Some rumors even said that they could even decimate a heavily guarded fortress without everyone knowing.

It is said that all the residents along with all the guards are dead and beheaded cleanly. Moreover, this happens in a single night without anyone noticing or hearing any fight.

Now, Angus is feeling down not because he lost to Naz but because he is feeling hopeless when being toyed by Naz.

'Well, this is life. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Better using this time to get some sleep. *Yawn*' thought Angus before he went back to sleep.

However, before he managed to go back to sleep, someone came into his quarter.

"Brother, how is your injury?" asked Vergil who is approaching Angus.

During the past few days, Vergil always visits Angus's quarter to accompany him every day.

"Well, I am getting better. You don't need to come every day to check on me. There are already some guards stationed outside and nurses to take care of me." reassured Angus.

"Nonsense, It's my job as your older brother to take care of you." said Vergil.

"Alright-Alright…" said Angus

Then, Angus and Vergil begin to talk about various kinds of stuff. Be it about school and other stuff. Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. *Knock* *Knock*

"Come in." said Angus.

Then, the door opened and showed Jayna in her royal dress while bringing a basket of fruit. Looking that the fourth princess is the one that comes inside, Vergil immediately stands up and gives away towards her.

Then, Jayna approaches him and keeps looking at Angus worriedly. Angus's current appearance is similar to a mummy, bandaged all over his body. Although there were no fatal wounds, he got wounded all over his body.

Moreover, Naz used a special kind of dagger that enchanted to make the wound bleed more than usual. It also prevents the wound from closing by itself. Only after getting some potion and medicine did the wound finally close.

Otherwise using Angus's high vitality, the wound will heal up after a day of rest. Fortunately, there will be no scar and mark on his body. Since it is not a miasma-based wound, it could be treated easily with magic.

"Then, I will excuse myself," said Vergil.

Noticing the atmosphere, Vergil excuses himself and ditch his younger brother alone with the fourth princess. He even gives a wink towards Angus. He knows that Jayna is having some sort of connection with Angus from the recent invitation.

Then, an awkward silence happens between Jayna and Angus. After putting the fruit basket on the side table, Jayna decides to break the situation.

"A-Angus, How is your body?" asked Jayna meekly.

Looking at Jayna's worried look, "Don't worry about it. I am still alive and kicking."

"O-Okay.. Umm…" said Jayna.

"Is there something in your mind?" asked Angus.

"Umm… T-Thank you." said Jayna meekly.

"Ehh… For what??" replied Angus nonchalantly.

"For saving me and protecting me." said Jayna.

"Well, no need for that. Besides, it is already my obligation as noble to protect the royalty." said Angus

"Still, I am thankful for that." said Jayna.

"Alright, then. Anyway, you are not telling anyone right?" asked Angus.

"About what?" asked Jayna back.

"About my true strength." replied Angus shortly.

"No.. I didn't tell anyone." said Jayna.

"Good. Then, everything will be back as usual." said Angus.

"Umm.. Angus, Why did you hide your strength??" asked Jayna.

Hearing this, Angus notices Jayna who is looking intently at him.

"Hmm… Well, let's just say that having too much power is troublesome. especially if it becomes known to others." said Angus.

"But, you will get…" said Jayna before Angus interrupted her. contemporary romance

"Not all things can be solved with power. Let's stop talking about this. Anyway, did you manage to make the thread entering the needle??" asked Angus.

"Err.. About that. I still can't do it. But, just you wait, I will do it soon." replied Jayna.

"Haa.. Forget about it. I realize this is still too advanced for you. Hmm.. How about you do try doing this first?" said Angus while he plucked his black hair.

Then, he imbued the hair with mana and made it stand up like a needle. After that, he took an apple from the basket near him. Angus pierced the fruit with his thin black hair.

"Why don't you try this first?" asked Angus.

"That's easy." said Jayna.

After that Jayna plucked one of her blonde hair and imbued it with mana. On the contrary to her expectation, Jayna found it is incredibly difficult to imbue her hair with mana. After a while, she managed to do it.

However, she expends a lot of mana to do it. Before finally managing the hair to straight up like a needle. The moment she loses her concentration, the hair goes back to being loose.

Looking at this, "Hmm… It seems you have trouble controlling your mana."
