Level Up Family

Chapter 43: Grevlin's First Mission

With the tense air becoming denser by the second, everyone observed the scene before with dumbfounded looks on their faces, even more so as they recalled how easily the small ten-year-old child took down two adult warriors of the F Class Standard.

No one knew how to speak for quite some time, but other than them, Barkan who faced this embarrassment had a savage look in his eyes.

"You insolent little wretch! You really have no respect for your seniors, today I will break your bones and teach you why you shouldn't mess with adults!"

Barkan yelled in an angry manner as he could no longer keep his composure. When he recalled Grevlin's movements used to take down his lackeys, he no longer looked at him as a child but a target to remove at all costs.

In this instance, the powers of an E Class Combatant exploded from Barkan's huge body, pressing down onto Grevlin's small figure as it caused him to sweat a bit due to the pressure.

Yet, despite the current scene, Grevlin didn't show fear nor any intention of backing away, his bounded arms hidden behind wrappings clenched even tighter as he held them before him with a serious look on his face.

At this moment, when Grevlin finally achieved a balance with his state of mind, a shocking scene occurred before his eyes.

When Grevlin saw those details, he was shocked to the point where he was only moments away from exclaiming out loud. However, Grevlin also knew that this wasn't the time to grow surprised about such things, especially with the man-eating monster that emanated a rich desire to slay him as it revved itself up to its peak.

'I'll check it out later, even if I lose, I don't fear, my father will protect me.'

Grevlin thought as he no longer looked at the system but stared directly onto Barkan whose body was shrouded by his mystic power.

'Ahh... such excellent bearing, truly a good little talent. I must train him myself before his fame spreads and those old codgers find out.'

The strange middle-aged man said as he noticed Grevlin's change, he was previously occupied with Marius's movements, but at the end of the day, his attention was primarily on Grevlin.

Marius, at this moment, had only arrived beside Ria, he glanced at her and spoke in a whispering tone, "You know, you're a bad mother."

Ria rolled her eyes at those words before doing a sly grin as she elbowed Marius and replied, "Hehe, I'm a Hellian, my ways are naturally different from humans or even these Artimans, if anyone here is a bad parent by both the Artimans and Humans perspective, then it's you, my dear husband."

"I... well, humph!" Marius said with an awkward look and a slightly red face, he knew she was right, especially with the fact that he harshly trained Grevlin in the wilds and use personal life-threatening situations against enemies as means of guidance.

With this in mind, Marius finally took the chance to inspect his opponent causing his details to appear before his eyes.

'Hmm, he's not bad, he should make a good opponent for Grev-Grev to get more serious. Heh, I'll add a little a bit of pressure to the mix.'

As Marius thought to hear, he stared at Grevlin who was readying for battle as he shouted, "Son, defeat him in a single blow."

Ria hearing this snickered slightly as she glanced at Marius as if finding his manner amusing, she didn't deny his statement and kept a calm look as she stared at Grevlin encouragingly.

Little Rose looked at both her mother and father with wonder in her eyes, but as she had no idea what they were talking about, she merely changed her attention towards her older brother.

Not even understanding of the danger heading his way, Little Rose clapped her small, adorable hands thinking he was playing a game as she cheered, "Brother must win!"

Grevlin was a bit surprised at these father's words and the cheerful cry from his sister. When he inspected Barkan, he knew that it would be a neck to neck battle. Nevertheless, as a child doing his best to get praised by his parents, whilst striving to also become an exemplary older brother to his sister, his eyes showed fierceness like none before as he glared at Barkan with even more determination.

The crowd was shocked once again hearing Marius's and Little Rose's words, they gave them odd looks as some couldn't help but speak in the quiet.

"This family, so strange."

"Indeed, I feel that they are all too laid back, Barkan is not the simple warrior, he's a Minor Squad Captain of the city army after all. They've only gone and made him even angrier; I hope that kid can insist, it would be truly a tragedy for a talented boy like that to die."

While the others spoke amongst themselves, Barkan seemed to have gathered enough power. He actually heard Marius's words, he laughed as his eyes flashed with murderous intent when he leaned his body forward and shouted towards Marius's direction, "Good, I didn't think I'd see the day when a common family provokes my wrath. When I'm done with your son, I'll chop your legs and force you to watch as I play with your wife to death!"

With his shout, Barkan hesitated no longer, his figure moved like a blur causing the wind to make screeching sounds as he rapidly charged towards Grevlin at a speed unfit for his size.

"He's going to kill him!"

"I can't watch!"

A few voices sounded as some turned their eyes from the scene, most being women with tender feelings unable to stomach the sight of a child being crushed to bits.

Marius's eyes flickered with a cold ray, but he did nothing, he only watched as Grevlin balled up his fist on one of his arms even tighter than the normal. In this instance, a strange scene occurred around Grevlin's smaller frame, seeming as if space itself was shrinking around his fists due to the conjuring force.

"Oh, it looks like our son has more mettle than I'd imagined," Marius muttered as his lips curved into a smile as he expectantly stared at Grevlin's hand, Ria's eyes also flashed as both looked only quietly as they awaited his shocking punch.
