Noah Taylor, a kind and warm person, at least that's how the world has known him.

'There can't be anything more contrast than that', Thought Linda seeing Noah Taylor in midst of the reporters.

With black hair and brown eyes, he was quite a good-looking man, who would leave a good impression at first sight! But the reality couldn't be any further...

He was an outcast among the Taylors, being born as the second child of Vincent Taylor's third wife, he was treated as a worthless tool.

All the nine children of Vincent Taylor, except Noah, were genius who excelled in various fields. He was like a rotten apple amidst the fruits, though the apple may seem like a luxury for commoners, a rotten fruit nonetheless was disregarded.

Even though he was a C-rank hunter at the age of 25, he wasn't given any attention by his father or family. It was precisely because he was overshadowed by the monstrous talent of his siblings. Amidst his monstrous siblings, he was seen as nothing but ordinary.

 And that's when Roger entered the scene.

A weak, non-awakened man as a husband of his S-rank awakened sister. 

Seeing someone weaker than him among his family, gave him a kind of relief. He who was oppressed by his siblings, for the first time found joy in the feeling of trampling over others.

At first, it was just because he found someone weaker than him, but as the days continued, he started to beat up Roger for fun. It was to the point that beating Roger had become a form of entertainment for him!

"Look who is here, if it isn't my dear Brother-in-law?"

Noah exclaimed seeing Roger who was walking towards the association and said with a warm smile on his face.

Roger who heard him stopped in his tracks.

'Damn!'

He cursed as his plan to go in without his notice failed.

He casually turned around trying to maintain his calm, but as soon as he faced Noah who was now coming toward him, he was shocked!

<Overall review>

The 8th son of Taylor, although he has a considerable amount of talent, being born among the Taylors had made his performance overshadowed by his siblings, he has a deep hate for his siblings whom he believes to be the ones, the reason for his situation and sufferings, A hyena born among the Tigers.

_____________

The status window! it appeared again!

His skill "The Eye of Vengeance" was invoked once again without his will.

'So that was the reason why he was beating me...'

Roger thought as he read through the status window, he always thought that the reason Noah was acting like that was that he couldn't accept the fact that his sister married someone ordinary like Roger, but to think it wasn't because of that but rather due to his inferiority complex.

'I suddenly feel a little sympathetic for him'

Only a genius could understand a genius and likewise, only a loser can understand another loser.

Anyway, Roger brushed off the status window and gave a fake smile to Noah who was just steps ahead of him.

"My dear Brother-in-law!"

Noah smiled broadly as he hugged Roger.

Roger too hugged him back as so many cameras were on them right now, whatever may they have in between them, the image of Taylors should never be tarnished among the society or else their heads may roll the next day!!

"I was told that you went on a vacation, I have been bored without you...brother..in..law"

Noah whispered in his ears as he continued "I forgot to ask you, but why are you here today? don't tell me you decided to help your wife while recruiting this irregular into her faction:"

In the silent war for inheriting Lord Taylor's assets, The children of Taylors made their own factions and strengthened them for the day to come when they fight!

It was the sad truth that the siblings born to the same father would end up fighting each other, but nothing could be done!

Roger was silent to his provocations, he just kept a smile on his face as he looked at the cameras.

"You know why I beat you up all the time? It's because of that damn smile on your face, that wouldn't leave even when your face becomes a bloody mess"

Likewise, Noah was also whispering while hugging him with one hand and smiling at the cameras.

"Now that I have met my sweet brother-in-law after so many days, we are bound to have some fun, meet me at my car parking...or else....."

he was about to say something when his secretary beside him intervened, "Sir, an urgent call!" He said while sweating profusely.

Roger who was looking at the cameras turned his head to face Noah with even a wide grin on his face, "I know you are thinking about beating me again brother-in-law, but if you don't leave now, you may receive a beating from someone else"

He said looking at the phone in Noah's secretory hand.

The smile on Noah's face disappeared all of sudden.

In the last year, no matter how much he beat Roger up never once has he had the courage to talk back to him but now.....He was talking back to him!!

He was about to burst out in anger when his secretary intervened again!

"Sir Vincent is on hold!"

The secretory said Sweeting profusely, his face looked terrified that he felt like he would die if he don't hand over the phone to him immediately.

Noah also got shocked! 

The last time his father called him.....wait!...did he ever call him? why was a man like that calling him now? He had too many questions but didn't have the courage to make the man on the other side of the phone wait any longer, so he hurriedly took the phone from his secretary's hand and moved to where his car was parked.

Roger watched the back of frustrated Noah who was leaving and smiled slightly.

"He is a man of his word indeed"

He said remembering the word that his father-in-law said to him, 'Six Months, I will make sure no one in the house of Taylor will disturb you!'

Linda who was beside him heard him, but decided to stay silent!

But Roger moved forward coming closer to the reporters as he said with a wink!

"Wait for the hot news!"

    "That was ridiculous" Screamed Noah who was walking alone in some kind of an underground old parking lot, he was thinking about what the secretary said to him on the phone. "I will make sure to beat him to pulp today!" He said liting up a cigarette. He had already informed his men to bring Roger to him as soon as they drive him here so he was going to wait in the underground till he is here. In front of Noah, who walked alone while snorting, a figure intervened and blocked the road. “What’s it?” Noah who was already quite annoyed raised his voice without realizing it and stared at the other person. “You, aren't you Roger's driver?” Noah's eyes narrowed upon his unexpected appearance in the secret corridor where he was walking alone. But the following word was the kind he really couldn’t imagine. “Hey.” “…What?” “Do you wanna die?” “…” Noah’s motion hardened overall and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

    20 minutes after Roger started running while chasing the pathfinder light that appeared, he arrived at a cliff.And when he looked down, there Roger saw a Hobo goblin, which was the boss monster of the dungeon sitting on some kind of a throne while being surrounded by some of the normal goblins.Just as Roger looked at the monster, the hobgoblin also noticed the presence of Roger and turned to look up.Grahhhh–The horrible shriek of the monster was heard as it looked at Roger.Roger felt as if his ears were going to burst and covered his ears with both his hands.But there was still a small smile on his face.‘If I had gone through the left path, it would have taken me at least 50 minutes to come here while fighting off the monsters but now thanks to the skill upgrade, it was almost reduced by half!’Thinking as such Roger held the spear in his hand and jumped down the cliff without wasting any more time.‘Wind Stride’He used the wind stride but he didn’t use it to slow down his fal
