BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124 Know Your Place
Just before going though, Ven said one last thing to Azul.
"Just you wait. Your time will come as well."
"My time will come? Pfft hahaha, how funny," Azul laughed out loud, attracting some people\'s attention. "I wonder what someone who\'s at the very bottom of his family can do to me. Seriously how funny."
Ven didn\'t answer and only gritted his teeth. He knew very well that it would be hard, and considering his rank in his family, he wouldn\'t be able to go anywhere near Azul. But still, he believed that one day, the opportunity would come.
He didn\'t know why, but he felt that as long as he would follow Kye, he would be able to achieve his dreams.
And unbeknownst to him, his expression loosened up completely after thinking about that. And Lidi was happy about that. She was scared that Ven wouldn\'t be able to control himself anymore.
As someone who has more privileges than others thanks to her status in the military, she knew what Azul was talking about.
In each of the big four families, it was really hard to climb up the ladder since everyone was skillful and had a lot of connections.
It wasn\'t enough to have power, one needed a network as well.
After all, a leader without followers will only lead itself to its downfall.
And since Ven never had any interest in creating his network, he was destined to stay at the bottom of his family. Of course, there were exceptions, but that\'s it. There were only exceptions, and it was hard to be among them.
For example, the current leader of the Laborde family, which is Enzo\'s family, was one of those exceptions. The leader was so strong and had so much knowledge that no one could think of dethroning him.
After all, it was benefiting them as well.

"Kye, I\'m sorry but can we go to the amusement park another time?"
"Why, did something happen?"
"There\'s this bastard here, so wouldn\'t it be better to have fun with him instead?"
Kye looked toward where Enzo was pointing and saw who he was talking about. "Great idea. Yugo and Sylvia would make Maria cry a little, while the both of us can make John beg."
"I didn\'t know you were that... revengeful." Enzo looked at him for a second.
"Well when you\'re at death\'s door, you can\'t stay the same as before, right?"
"Yeah, guess you\'re right."
Both of them walked slowly toward him to not attract too much attention.
John was currently with a girl and both of them seemed to go back from a hotel toward their dorm. Kye clicked his tongue when he thought about what they did but quickly shook his head. The girl seemed to have done it willingly, so he couldn\'t be angry because of that.
"John\'s ability made it so that he can increase the speed of whoever he wants, so he will surely try to escape as fast as possible once he will understand what would happen," Kye said.
"Then I just have to slow him, right?"
"Yup."
Enzo was perfect to fight someone like John. Thanks to his time ability, he could slow down his opponents to either attack back or let his ally attack for him. The time ability was one of the greatest supportive ones, but also a great ability to use as offense once someone had enough mastery over it.
Though, like space and gravity, the time needed to be used carefully because the drawbacks of those three abilities could be extremely big.
But Enzo wasn\'t at this level yet, so everything will go smoothly for now.
Kye then asked Enzo to hide a little at the back to not scare John away.
And once Kye was sure that they were both ready, and that there weren\'t any people around them anymore, he called out for John.
"Hey John~, long time no see." Kye\'s voice sounded cheerful, almost as if he was talking to a long-lost friend.
John turned around to face him before a wide grin appeared on his face. "You, go back on your own!" He ordered the girl by his side, and the latter quickly did as she was told. "It\'s been a long time, indeed. How have you been? Still as trashy as ever?" He tried taunting him, not knowing that it was useless.
"Well, in the end, you were the one pissing your pants when we saw the balena back then." Kye chuckled as the angry John rushed at full speed toward Kye.
Kye was a little taken aback by John\'s speed, but quickly smiled when he saw him slowing down drastically.
"What?! What happened?" John shouted angrily. Never has such a thing happened in his life with his ability.
"Well if you can\'t go faster, then you\'re a trash as well, right?" Enzo chuckled as he walked toward Kye slowly. "This is what happens when you mess with the wrong person. Daring to kill my Lil bro, pfft, how funny. You really thought you will come out of this unscathed?" Enzo asked while chuckling. He waited for this moment for so long, and finally being able to repay them was more than great.
John wasn\'t dumb, so he knew what will happen next, so he tried to run away. Albeit, very slowly.
Enzo didn\'t go all out immediately, so he could still slow him down even more if he wanted to. And he did just that. John was now moving as slowly as a snail.
\'Is this the difference between high levels?\' John thought. \'No, is this the difference between someone who has a connection and someone who doesn\'t?\' John was now scared and was only an inch away from pissing his pants.
The otherworldly look of Kye and the terrifying gaze of Enzo made him scared to no end. Especially now that he was even weaker than the trash he likes bullying so much.
He was now the one being bullied, and never in his life did he think it was possible, especially when he had an ally such as Maria.
