Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 768

Chapter 768: Securing The Little Sister
Drop-dead gorgeous girls usually have trouble finding love or friends in a new environment, especially someone like Maia, who also had an extremely renowned big brother.

It was rather difficult to believe that someone from Balkrow City would have the courage to confess to her and capture her heart.

Upon reflecting further, Shye realized he should have noticed something was off from the very beginning.

Even so, his connection to Hadean Varsa remained a secret, giving him the freedom to engage the annoyingly confident brat in the kind of battle he desired.

“Don’t dig too deep into things beyond my reach?” Shye whispered into Leffen’s ear. “Believe me, little hawkling, I’ve dug way deeper than you.”

The blonde young man’s eyes momentarily widened upon hearing the young Valenzian hero’s words, finding it difficult to believe that Shye indeed knew what was up.

He underestimated the target!

As for the man himself, Shye simply made a calculated guess, aware that Dweezel was after the talents of his body, regardless of his affiliation with Hadean Varsa.

Who else but that conniving old weasel would send someone after him and Maia?

He then judged based on Leffen’s age that he was one of Dweezel’s Hawklings.

For the first time in his encounter with Shye Crowley of the Black Dawn, the blonde young man felt nervous, wary, and unsafe.

Leffen had always been a smart kid with a knack for intimidating others through words.

This time, however, he lost at his own game.

Nonetheless, Leffen would never admit that he was a hawkling.

“Huh? What the hell are you talking about? Also, why should I be scared of you? There’s nothing you can do to me inside this office.”

“Hahaha!” Shye chuckled in response. “Your acting’s not bad, but your first reaction to what I said gave you away, you stupid brat. And as for saying I can’t do anything to you—sure, I can’t kill you, but I can pound you until you’re terrified of fists.”

Upon hearing Shye’s sharp retort, Leffen sprang into action and swiftly attempted to exit the door.

However, before he could do so, Shye grabbed him by his clothes, throwing him to the opposite side of the room.

Shye then crushed a sound isolation talisman—an item that would allow him to beat the crap out of Leffen for five whole minutes without Maia realizing.

‘Maia, this is for you.’

For someone of Shye’s strength, he needed less than five minutes to mentally maim someone in combat.

“You brat…you dare toy with my little sister’s feelings? Take this!”

*PAH!*

“And that!”

*BONK!*

…For three whole minutes, Shye destroyed Leffen with a passion, breaking his bones, slapping and punching his face till he lost consciousness, and choking him to near death.

Each time Leffen teetered on the edges of the afterlife, Shye forced health regeneration potions on him to fully restore his body—only to start the brutal cycle again.

As a result, the poor blonde young man developed all sorts of combat traumas, making it impossible for him to fight other people without flinching or being nervous.

It would be impossible for Leffen to be as excellent as he once was.

While his life would be spared due to Shye lacking the moral reason to kill him, he would lose his chance to become Dweezel’s heir.

After about three and a half minutes, Shye finally felt satisfied, leaving Leffen twitching in a corner of the room after forcefully feeding him a peak-grade restoration pill.

The pill wouldn’t take effect for another minute and a half, and by that time, Shye would already be long gone from the headquarters with Maia in tow.

He swiftly exited the room and shut the door, ensuring Maia wouldn’t see the sorry state of her fake boyfriend.

“Oh, b-big brother… how did it go?” she asked nervously.

Shye didn’t answer right away.

Instead, he took her by the wrists and led her along without a word.

“U-Uhm…big brother? W-Why are we leaving Leffen?” She followed up, her anxiety levels rising.

“Don’t worry, he’s fine. Just trust me for now and come with me. I need to discuss something important with you.” Shye finally replied, slightly easing the nervousness in Maia’s heart.

As long as Leffen was fine, then everything was good.

The two of them could just contact each other and meet another day.

Little did Maia know, today would be the last time she saw Leffen—at least for a long time.

As they walked, the siblings didn’t talk.

It was only when the two of them arrived at the city’s teleportation formation that Shye finally broke the silence.

“Here, use this scroll,” he said as he handed the unsuspecting Maia a teleportation scroll.

Shye was quite wary about Leffen’s words about him arriving too late.

He was convinced that the bastard had somehow brainwashed Maia, considering how confident he was, even bold enough to say things like, “Maia wouldn’t come with you.”

Therefore, Shye didn’t hesitate to take drastic action, immediately bringing his little sister to the Hadean Varsa Headquarters, where Dweezel’s sinister influence could be countered.

After all, Maia was one of the most important people in his life, and losing her would be an unbearable blow.

Unbeknownst to Shye, he did the right thing by not talking too much.

Had Maia known what happened to Leffen, it would’ve been much more difficult for him to bring her along.

His high intelligence and wisdom attributes proved extremely valuable as they always did.

Maia’s respect and trust for Shye were engraved bone deep, and since he hadn’t said anything that would trigger Leffen’s methods, she didn’t think too much and activated the teleportation scroll.

Seeing this, Shye smiled and did the same.

The next moment, the siblings found themselves in a room with metallic walls, floor, and ceiling, which caused Maia to tilt her head in confusion.

She didn’t know why, but she somehow felt nervous.

“B-Big brother? Where are we?” she asked.

“Come, follow me for now. I want you to meet some people, and with their help, I’ll explain what’s going on.”
