I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 131: Odd Guy(2)

Luke frowned and scratched his head. What in the world had he gotten himself into?

Liam continued to speak as Luke was complaining about everything on his mind.

"I've been there pretty much since he was born. To be honest, his parents were complete morons."

"Hmm?"

Luke cocked his head and gazed at Liam. Liam smiled as he observed this reaction.

"I got your attention now eh? You're that interested in this kid?"

Liam merely laughed while Luke glared at him.

"Anyway, when this child was born, the God of Darkness sent an angel to tell his parents that he was unique and that the God of Darkness was keeping an eye on him. They were basically commanded by the God of Darkness to look after me. Ha! What a load of nonsense! Makes me wheeze whenever I remember it."

Luke turned to face Liam, who was quietly chuckling with an odd expression. Liam then resumed his story, chuckling as if he were narrating a circus performance rather than a kid's life.

"So this kid's parents, now that they know their child is special, went completely insane and began telling everyone about it just a day after the God of Darkness' angel told them about their child. Saying that he will have a good future, that he will be a prominent character in the kingdom, that he will be the kingdom's beloved person, that he will save their family from poverty, and so on. They were so stupid that they couldn't even keep a secret hidden in their pants for a week."

Luke was deafeningly quiet as he watched Liam laugh. It's not just a simple story he's telling; it's someone's life, and he's telling it in a very... Disrespectful manner. Luke's eyes darkened as a result of this.

"Would you like to know what happened to his dumb parents?"

Luke's brows furrowed in response to his comments. However, it appears that Liam was unconcerned and continued to speak casually.

"Their neighbors became envious of their good fortune and murdered them in the dead of night. I'll tell you, it was a complete bloodbath. It's like watching four-legged beasts rip each other to shreds-"

Shiiiing!

Liam stopped talking when a sword immediately went to his neck. It was Liam, the Liam Luke was familiar with. It seems that he can't take it anymore and switched to attack himself.

Liam was so enraged and intent on chopping off his other half's head that he didn't care if he cut himself in the process. As tears began to pour from his eyes, his gaze became insane yet sorrowful. But he returned to rationality when he noticed a hand gripping the blade tightly, preventing his sword from slashing his neck.

His red teary eyes followed the bleeding hand holding the sword to the face of the person who had stopped him. His eyes then shook when he saw Luke calmly looking down at him as if he's not bothered by his bleeding hand at all.

"B-brother... Your hand..."

"Put the blade down, Liam."

"But-"

"Or else I won't let go of this blade."

Liam came to a halt and cautiously lowered his blade. Luke let out a sigh and let go of the blade. He then looked down at his palm, which had a severe cut and blood was pouring out of it nonstop, staining the carpet below. Luke then turned to face Liam, who was worried and guilty. Luke simply sighed and slid back into his seat.

"Liam, let me talk to him again."

"No, Brother, you must be healed as soon as possible."

"Let me talk to him."
