Chapter 31: Not your brother
[Mission complete]
[You have gained 2000 Exp, 2000 SP, 10 free stat points] x10
[You have leveled up, 2 free stat points]
[You have gained a summon, would you like to name him?]
"Huh, you don't have a name?" Silva asked.
"No, beasts can only get a name from a beast above them. I have been here all my life, so there was no one to name me," the tiger said.
"Alright, then I'll name you. Ugh, Thunder—no, that sounds dumb. Alright, Fang, does that work for you?" Silva asked.
"That's a nice name, Master."
[Your summon is now named Fang]
[Your legacy 10x buff will apply to your summon as well]
This last notification shocked Silva. He didn't expect that his buff would be passed on; this basically meant Fang was ten times stronger.
Fang also felt the massive increase in his power and looked at Silva in confusion.
"Don't worry, it is just the buff that my legacy gives," Silva explained.
'I want to explore deeper into this labyrinth. I feel there is more to this place, but for now, I have to go back and take Roxy back.
There is also the matter of Mike. He crossed the line, and this time I'm surely going to make him pay.
"Roxy, you can come out now, I have handled the situation," Silva said.
Roxy came out of where she hid and stood behind Silva. She stared at Fang, still apprehensive about the tiger.
"Alright, Roxy, this is Fang, my summon," Silva said.
"Summon?" she asked.
"I'll explain later. We should leave now and meet with the others," Silva said. Fang lowered himself for Silva to climb up. Silva climbed and assisted Roxy in climbing.
"Alright, take us up, Fang."
Fang used the path in the hole and started running up. He was very fast, so they made it out of the hole in less than five minutes.
When they got out, Silva immediately used search to find the others. He extended it as fast as he could, but he couldn't sense them on this floor.
They went around the floor searching as well, but they didn't find any of them, aside from a party that had entered the fourth floor as well.
Since they weren't here, they went up to the higher floor but found no one, so they continued until they finally came out of the labyrinth.
The crowd had dropped a lot, but there were still a lot of people around.
As soon as they got out of the labyrinth, his search picked up the presence of the party among the crowd.
People were shocked to see a massive tiger and two people riding on it; they all stepped aside and watched.
Silva came down from the tiger, his eyes glued to one person, and that was Mike.
When Quin saw Silva and Roxy, he ran up to them. Rock and Rou followed as well.
They started asking them questions about what had happened.
"Mike said a powerful monster killed both of you," Quin said.
"Is that so?" Silva asked. He looked over at Mike; their eyes met, and Mike was trembling, in fear and in rage.
"MIKE!" Silva roared, his voice booming through the forest so that everyone heard him. They all kept quiet and watched what was happening.
"Mike, why don't you come and explain to Quin what happened in the labyrinth?" Silva said.
"W-wh-what do-do you mea-an?" Mike asked while stuttering.
"Cut the crap! If you don't tell everyone what you did, I'll beat the truth out of you," Silva said. He took out his sword to show he was serious.
Quin wanted to calm him down, but Silva let his killing intent pour out of him.
It choked Quin and forced him back; everyone close to Silva had to step back. Only Fang could stay close to him.
And this killing intent was not targeted at the people watching but rather Mike, yet they felt it.
Mike was sweating bullets and shaking like crazy, but he refused to yield, his face contorted in rage.
He forced himself to stand and started walking towards Silva, one step at a time. Every step took all the energy in his body.
"Fuck you, Silva!" Mike shouted. "I've always wanted to tell you that. You think you're so special; you think you're a big shot.
You came and took away all that belonged to me, you piece of crap, and you aren't even a real member of the family," Mike said.
That last part stunned Silva. How did Mike know? He looked over to Quin, and Quin bowed his head, meaning he also knew.
"Hahaha, yes I know, for a long time now. Quin and I overheard Mom and Dad saying it. You were abandoned with them.
The people who gave birth to you didn't want you; they threw you out. They despised you and threw you away.
You're abandoned, and yet you stay in our family acting like you own it."
The people began to discuss what they just heard.
"Is that why his hair is different? I've always known something was off."
"So he isn't their real son? Never expected that."
"Hahaha, your truth is out. I wonder how Lia will take this when she hears it. Quin and I had a pact to never tell her, but all that is useless now," Mike said.
"Don't bring her into this. If you damage my relationship with Lia, there will be nowhere for you to run, even in hell," Silva said.
"Run? I'm not running anywhere. I want you dead before I run away, and I'll start the process by telling Lia."
"That won't work, Mike," Quin spoke up.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mike asked.
"Lia knows already. She knew the exact same day we knew. Just like we overheard Mom and Dad, she overheard us making the pact.
She has known for a while that Silva is not her real brother," Quin explained.
"Impossible," Mike yelled.
