My Path of Revenge After Being Reborn as an Anti-Hero

Peaked Anger

"What do you mean?" Allen stopped eating and asked, his face contorting with a frown.

Julius, appearing nonchalant, replied, "I mean that your engagement party will be held in three days."

"And this is all because of your insistence, isn't it?" Allen's question carried a hint of displeasure.

Julius felt the need to clarify, as it was Allen who had initially asked him to arrange an engagement with a girl from the Valeriant family.

If it weren't for his fear that Allen would rebel, he would have been too lazy to have anything to do with those damn parents from the Valeriant family.

Furthermore, the girl, being the child of a low-status wife, was not worthy of marrying his son, Allen, who was the main heir of the Frey family.

Hearing this, Allen sighed helplessly, not expecting his engagement party with Alice to happen so quickly.

However, he knew that this was the butterfly effect of his rebirth.

Soon, he continued eating nonchalantly and asked, "Can I cancel the engagement?"

He stole a glance at Julius, curious to see his reaction.

And sure enough, Julius' face immediately contorted into an expression of anger as he looked at Allen.

"What do you mean, Allen?" The surrounding aura changed so drastically that it sent shivers of fear through everyone present except Allen.

Irina, sitting beside Allen, couldn't help but cling to his arm, seeking reassurance.

However, facing this, Allen was not afraid; he maintained his composure and casually looked into Julius' eyes.

"Like I said, can I cancel the engagement?" His voice remained indifferent and seemingly ignorant, which only fueled Julius' anger.

"Bang!"

In a fit of rage, Julius slammed the table forcefully, pointing sharply at Allen.

"How can you say that?!" He asked angrily.

"Don't you know what will happen to the Frey family's reputation if you cancel the engagement suddenly?" His wrinkled forehead and glaring eyes at Allen were evidence that he was truly furious this time!

As the head of the Frey family, he had always been meticulous in upholding their good image, and this time, Allen had touched his scale!

Duke Valeriant's family was also a prominent and high-class family in the kingdom of Eldoria, holding equal status and power with the Frey family.

Considering that there were no other Duke families in the kingdom of Eldoria besides them, the relationship between the two families had always been quite amicable.

So, if he canceled Allen's engagement all of a sudden, he would be slapping the Valeriant family in the face!

Seeing Julius' intense reaction, Allen remained unfazed and calmly wiped his lips with a napkin.

"There's no need to go overboard like that." While casually wiping the corner of his lips, he spoke indifferently.

"I was just asking casually, why did you get like that?" Allen asked, his gaze cold and steady.

Observing Allen's casual reaction, Julius was taken aback, and the anger in his chest seemed to reach its boiling point.

"You!" However, he managed to exercise patience and restrain his words.

He knew that if he let his anger control him, he would undoubtedly lose this time.

Yes, he had lost to his son, Allen.

Right from the beginning, he sensed that Allen was leading him, which helped him keep his emotions in check.

As he woke up and encountered Allen in his workspace, he observed a significant and distinct change in his son.

Allen appeared to be an entirely different person.

Nevertheless, at that moment, he didn't give it much thought and dismissed it as a possible hallucination.

And now he couldn't shake the feeling of this unsettling change, which somehow instilled a sense of fear within him.

Taking a deep breath, he settled back into his dining chair.

"Like I said, it's impossible." Julius spoke calmly, closing his eyes as if the person who had been angry earlier was not him at all.

Allen admired Julius' mentality and couldn't help but smile, then he continued eating without answering him.

On the other hand, Larina, who witnessed this, couldn't help but be shocked as she saw Julius getting angry like that for the first time.

However, what surprised her even more was Allen, who seemed to be completely different.

"This kid..." She looked at Allen with a gaze full of vigilance.

Allen naturally felt Larina's gaze, but he didn't mind and continued eating quietly.

Lecia herself was very scared when her father scolded Allen, but what made her even more desperate was that her brother dared to stand up against her father, who was usually so different!

"Brother..." Lecia bit her lip and looked at Allen worriedly.

As they all had dinner, everyone had their own thoughts swirling in their minds.

...

After finishing the meal, Allen and Irina walked side by side towards her room.

"Brother..." Her voice rang with uncertainty in Allen's ears.

Hearing this, Allen looked at her with a gentle expression and asked, "Why so doubtful, little girl?"

Irina hesitated to ask what was on her mind, and instead, she hugged Allen's arm.

"It's okay, big brother."

"It's just that... I hope you'll always be like this with me, okay?" Her eyes held hope as she looked at Allen.

Allen was slightly surprised, but he gently stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, I'll always be there for you, just as you wish."

He smiled warmly, but in his red eyes, there was an unusually strong sense of indifference.
