Asking for His Own Back

The sound of commotion from Ashu room reached his mother's room. Ashu mother, thinking that something had happened to her son, rushed to take the guards to Ashu room and immediately went inside. Since Ashu was poisoned and almost died, Ashu mother felt very traumatized. This time, Ashu's mother didn't want anything else to happen to her son or she would feel guilty towards her late husband.

"My son," cried Ashu's mother, who was standing at the door.

Seeing that his mother had arrived at the right time, Ashu took a deep breath, Ashu deliberately stepped on the assassin he had killed with just a few blows.

"I'm fine, ma'am, but I just escaped death, who was so cruel as to order them to kill me," Ashu said.

"Whoever dares to kill my son, I will end his life myself." Ashu mother shouted.

From outside, the son and father entered Ashu room, both of them surprised to see that the killer they had sent was actually under Ashu feet. The father nudged Meng Li and told his son to pretend to be surprised, so that it wouldn't be discovered that he was the one who had ordered the two killers to kill Ashu.

"What's going on here, ma'am?" Meng Li asked.

"There is someone who wants to kill your brother. I think this person is tired of life and dares to kill my son," Ashu mother said.

"Whoever wants to kill my brother, I will fight for him myself," Meng Li said.

Hearing Meng Li words, Ashu smiled, it turned out that his younger brother was good at acting, no wonder the previous owner of the corpse melted before his younger brother.

"You don't need to do that, besides, I managed to find out who wants to kill me," Ashu said.

Meng Li was shocked to hear Ashu words, could it be that the assassin told him about him and his father ordered it?

"That's fine then, Brother, I'm also happy if you already know," Meng Li said nervously.

"Then ma'am, I'll go back to my room. I want to train to participate in the Emperor's competition," said Meng Li.

"Go, practice seriously," said Ashu mother.

When Meng Li father saw his son leave Ashu room, he rushed to follow him. Meng Li father knew that his son must be afraid to hear Ashuntadi's words.

"Father," Meng said when he saw his father walking beside him.

"His father said he already knows who hired the assassin, what should we do now?" continued Meng Li.

"Calm down, have you forgotten how stupid he is? He should have realized a long time ago that we have repeatedly tried to kill him, but he remained silent," Meng Li father said.

"So we'll just let it go for now, and when things calm down, we'll do it again," Meng Li father said.

"Okay then," Meng Li said.

After a night's rest, Ashu could feel his strength returning. Now he had to take back what was rightfully his from Meng Li.

Ashu walked over to Meng Li who was practicing in the backyard, and seeing him, Ashu rushed over and sat down in front of him.

"Brother what brings you here?" Meng Li asked as she stopped practicing.

"Go ahead, I just want to see you practice," Ashu said.

"No, I can't practice and leave you alone, just tell me what you need," Meng Li said.

"Okay, since you insist, I want to take back everything I gave you this month," Ashu said casually.

"What do you mean, you can't possibly want to take the soul stones and herbs you gave me, right?" said Meng Li.

"I really want all of them, give them back quickly or I will tell mother who wants to kill me," Ashu said threateningly.

Meng Li was silent, thinking that it was unusual for Ashu to ask for what he had given back, after all, it was already his, of course he wouldn't give it back.

"Does Big Brother want to challenge me?" shouted Meng Li.

"Brother, my training level is higher than Brother's, are you sure you want to compete with me?" Meng Li shouted again.

Meng Li scream, which was heard by the servants, caused the servants to get excited, and almost all of the servants were talking about Ashu wanting to challenge his brother as Meng Li wanted.

Not long after, Ashu's mother and Meng Li father approached them, Ashu mother looking at her two sons while shaking her head.

"Why did you challenge your little brother?"

"It's just for practice, ma'am, but my sister takes it seriously and wants to make a bet," Ashu said.

"What bet?" Ashuagi's mother asked.

"Adik has bet that all his resources for 10 months will be given to me if I win," Ashu said.

Ashu words shocked Meng Li, since when did he bet like that, Meng Li thought that his brother had really changed after getting back up.

"You two are brothers, are you sure you want to fight, especially since your training level, Ashu, is lower than your Brother's," Ashu mother said.

"This is a young person's business, it's better for us as parents not to interfere," said Meng Li father.

Meng Li father thought it was all his son's plan. Of course, as a father, he supported his son who wanted to embarrass Ashu.

"Then it's up to you, when do you want to fight?" Ashu mother asked.

"Now," Ashu and Meng Li said at the same time.

"Remember, this is just practice, don't overdo it," said Ashu mother, who immediately left.

Even though Meng Li didn't feel like making such a bet, she still wanted to fight Ashu. Meng Li, who was at a higher level of training than Ashu, was very confident that she could quickly win against her older brother.

"Go ahead, sis, I don't want to be seen as bullying you who are weak," Meng Li said arrogantly.

"Heeeeh, okay, don't be sorry," Ashu said.

Ashu focused his energy on his feet, Ashu deliberately clenched his fists so that Meng Li thought he was going to attack with his hands.

Wheeeeeeeeeessssssss.

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Seeing this, Meng Li's father immediately ran over to his son who was lying on the ground.

"Son, when did you become strong?" Ashu mother asked.

"I don't know, ma'am, maybe I will get a blessing after being revived, but it's better for my sister to call a doctor first, I don't want anything to happen to her," Ashu said.

"Right, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take Meng to her room and call a doctor," Ashu mother shouted, and she hurried away after ordering her servant.

Seeing Meng Li's father getting ready to leave, Ashu grabbed his hand and wanted to tell him who was really in charge at home.

"Let go, I want to see my son," Meng Li's father said.

"I won't stop you, but remember the agreement you witnessed earlier, I want Meng Liu's resources to be mine for 10 months," Ashu said.

"Why should I give them to you?" Meng Li father asked.

"Because I am the lord of this house, with one word from me, you and Meng Li will be expelled from here, or even put to death," Ashu said.

"I don't understand what you mean," said Meng Li father.

"Okay, I will immediately tell mother who killed me and who sent the assassin yesterday," Ashu said, getting ready to leave.

"Wait, I'll give you what you asked for," said Meng Li father.

"That's fine, don't forget to return the resources I gave your child," Ashu said as he walked away from Meng Li's father.
