Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 - Sister

After the thirteenth floor, he reached the last floor of the building.

When he saw his sister, he came out of his trance. She was on the other side of the room, in her hospital bed, lying unconscious in her hospital bed by a rope around the bed.

Remond saw his sister after a long time and was overwhelmed with emotion. He forgot everything around him and got entangled in his flashback with his parents and his sister playing with her in their home, and it was any normal family when the building collapsed with them, and they lost their home. He remembers his gentle parents who loved them dearly, and they loved them too. He and his sister were the only ones they had and were cared for dearly.

Only after some time that he notice all the men around his sister as if they were the ones protecting her from him. They had surrounded her all around keeping Remond from getting to her.

Remond thought to himself, 'Why are they protecting her? Is it from me or from any other person?'

After that, a man in a designer red suit with two horns drawn on the back of his suit shouted, "Who are you? Step inside our building. Do you know the consequence of this action?" 

The men around the room quietly surrounded Remond and were getting ready to attack him.

Remond replied, "You are the one who doesn't know what you have gotten yourselves into; you will only know that after I finish with all of you today."

The crowd laughed.

They suddenly attacked Remond, thinking they could overpower him, but Remond quickly sliced a man in half with his knife, which made the group shudder in fear.

The bloodlust from Remond was so overwhelming that it made the group of men unable to attack out of fear.

The man in a suit was angered with rage after seeing Remond slice all of his men. As Remond finishes all the men in the group, the suit shouted, "You all can't even kill a single boy with a knife."

The suit took out his gun hidden inside the inner pocket of his suit, he aimed at Remond, and took a shot.

Remond was hit by the shot but was unharmed cause of the vitality the system had provided. The suit was shocked that the bullet didn't pierce him. That made the suit fire more and more bullets, but still couldn't harm Remond.

Remond was looking at the bullets as they hit him; they didn't pierce him, but it still hurt. Remond masked the pain with a stern face and launched towards the suit and sliced the gun as the bullets hit him.

As Remond tried to cut the suit's neck, the suit grabbed Remond's hand he was Remond was shocked that he was unable to overpower him as he did with others. Remond kicked the suit's leg and jumped backwards.

"So, you are like us, no wonder that you can kill all the men in the building with ease."

"I am not even close to like you," Remind replied.

"Ha ha, if you are not like us, then how are you this powerful? This type of strength can only be obtained through killing tens, if not hundreds, of people."

'How does he know that I had to kill people to get the strength? Does he also have the system?'

Remond replied with a stern face," So, what if I have to kill to get power, you will also be a kill that will make me more powerful."

"Ha, as if you can kill me with that kind of power. Come kill me if you can."

After saying that, the suit launched to strike Remond with his fist. Remond dodged the attack, but was not able to dodge the second punch that was after the first one. Remond collapsed on the ground as the punch made contact. The punch broke his nose, and it felt like a hammer had hit him.

The suit knew fighting technique and fought as if he was used to fighting people with such power as Remond. He couldn't even protect himself against the suit; he was powerless even while having more power than he ever had.

He instinctively protected his head and rolled into a turtle pose just like how he did when he was beaten. He thought to himself 'Was this all I could do with my power? Will I not be able to protect my sister? I couldn't even protect myself, how can I even protect my sister?' 

The suit began kicking Remond, laughing at his face, mocking him, " Where has all your attitude gone? Was this all you could do? Weren't you going to kill me?"

The system suddenly chimes.

Remond's face gleamed with hope, hope that could save the sister, hope that could help him, hope that could kill the man mocking him.

"YES!" Remond shouted as hard as he could.

Boost of times 5 of strength will be active for 30 seconds.

Remond grabbed the suit's leg and threw him to the ground. He grabbed his knife and stabbed the suit right in his heart. The blood gushed out of his chest, making a fountain of blood that bathed him in the blood of the suit.

Remond took the healing potion and was restored from the injuries. He then took the recovery portion to his sister and gently poured it into his sister's mouth. The Recovery portion took immediate effect, giving his sister a faint red glow as it recovered his sister.

A few minutes later, his sister opened her eyes slowly as she opened her eyes Remond looked at her, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

"brother"

Remond hugged his sister and cried uncontrollably, letting his emotions out after many years of frustration as he saw his one and only family.
