Chapter 5: meeting the condition
"Hey... I know that Miss Jane let us do what we want, but I think it’s better if we don’t kill him. It might implicate us later," Ben chimed in as they stood above the limp body on the ground.
"Yeah, I think Ben is right. We wouldn’t want the academy on our necks after this. It’s best we avoid trouble," Jacob supported.
Frank had an unwilling look on his face as he listened to the two.
Letting the bastard off wasn’t simply going to cut it... No, he wanted him dead, and he didn’t want to encounter any other like him... ever!
"What if he meets the conditions for his useless talent? There’s no way he will give us a free pass," Frank stated, shooting the two deadly glares, still reluctant to let Kieran off.
"That’s right. But even then, what, even an SSS-rank talent holder? They’d be smarter than to run into the Nelkon family to kill one of their heirs," Jacob said, still unconvinced.
"You seem to underestimate the power of SSS-ranked talent holders. Why do you think there are only three that have been noted in history? Even my dad has yet to see the founder to this day," Frank threw a deadly gaze at Jacob, who seemed to be questioning his knowledge.
"Then what do we do? Killing him might implicate us all."
The group went silent, pondering what they’d do to the said person.
"I have an idea!" Ben declared, his eyes sparkling as he remembered Jane’s words.
"What is it?" Frank asked, growing slightly impatient.
