Shawn Hubert : The God Level Selection System

Chapter 4

"Did you hear what that stupid kid said? He dared to go against us and left the family to enter into a marriage. What an ungrateful child! Even though I've raised him hard!"

Lisa continued to grumble. Even her tears began to flow because she was hurt by what Shawn had said on the phone. John got a tissue for Lisa and tried to calm her down. He invited her to sit down. "Already, children who are about to grow up are like that. Insolent."

Lisa wiped her tears. She didn't expect Shawn's rejection to make her feel this cut. "Tell me, John. Can asking for 400 dollars make a child hostile to his parents? He even insulted Ryan, his brother. Doesn't he realize we're the only family he has?"

John furrowed his brow, holding back the annoyance that didn't subside. Seeing his wife cry like this made him understand that Shawn must have reached a breaking point in the resentment he had been harboring for a long time.

Lisa turned to John. The look in his eyes was very sharp. "John, let's go to him and teach him a lesson! How dare he do this to us? He's still our son. We have to educate him again to come back to us."

John responded by nodding. "Yes. Of course, Lisa. A spanking will make a child know where he stands."

John grinned slightly. The two of them had always raised Shawn in a very harsh way. When Shawn made a mistake, John would hit him with wood or other objects. Even back in elementary school, Shawn had been beaten until he broke a bone in his hand for not coming home on time and playing dingdong, neglecting his duties to feed the poultry and look after Ryan.

Shawn has been compliant with John and Lisa's requests ever since. Even when Shawn was working, they always asked for more money than Shawn could give.

Their upbringing was inversely proportional to Ryan, John, and Lisa's biological son. Ryan is very spoiled, and John and Lisa give all his requests. He was always given nice clothes and gadgets that he wanted. However, as he grew up, he got into the wrong company. He often got into trouble and got drunk. Even so, John and Lisa never hit her once and instead tried to clean up the problems she caused.

Lisa then looked over to Ryan's room. He was still lying in his room and skipping classes again. Last night, he had gotten very drunk and now could only press his face against the pillow. "We can't lose Shawn. He's our very useful son. He just said he would leave us without repaying all our kindness." Lisa again wiped her tears and tried to stay strong.

John also glanced in the direction Lisa's eyes were pointing. The man knew very well that Lisa wanted Shawn back in her arms to help solve the problems created by Ryan. "Of course, Lisa. He's ours."

Suddenly, their doorbell rang. While they were upset like this, they had someone coming. John and Lisa lazily walked to the door and opened it.

A man was standing there. He was wearing a very neat and expensive black suit. His hair was neatly cut and shiny. For someone in his fifties, he looked very well-built with a well-proportioned body.

The man smiled and bowed, "I finally found you, Eldest Young Master and Madam."

John and Lisa's eyes widened at the figure before them. Even John got goosebumps. The figure was someone John had known for a long time.

John pointed at the man's face. "You..."

The man raised his body again. "Yes, Young Master. This is me, William. The butler of the Runegrove family."

Meanwhile, a small bottle was now held by Shawn with great wonder. The dark green liquid inside the bottle was the so-called Reborn Potion. It looked very thick and unpleasant. It looked like a liquid made from blended medicinal herbs.

Shawn opened the bottle and smelled it a little. As soon as the scent of the liquid entered Shawn's nostrils, Shawn immediately felt a pungent odor. Shawn immediately covered his nose.

Shawn glared at the bottle. "What is this?"

Shawn was hesitant to drink the strange liquid. However, this potion was a gift from the system. Surely, this potion would have advantages for him.

With his eyes closed, Shawn gulped down the entire potion at once. His eyes closed tightly, and Shawn grimaced, feeling the bitter taste of the potion.

Shawn stuck out his tongue. "Ouch! What a strange flavor."

Other than the bitter taste that had just passed through his mouth, Shawn felt nothing. He looked at various parts of his body. Nothing has changed. What did the word reborn mean? Was Shawn going back to being a baby?

Little by little, Shawn felt his stomach warm up, and then he felt like his muscles were contracting.

Shawn looked at his hands. The muscles in his arms were twitching, feeling fuller and denser. Shawn began to break out in a cold sweat and glared without blinking. "What's wrong with my body?"

Then Shawn's body began to sweat profusely. It wasn't ordinary sweat, but it was mixed with something blackish in color. Apparently, Shawn's body was expelling various bad substances from his body.

Shawn panicked, glancing at his body, which was constantly secreting black sweat. Then, Shawn also began to feel an unpleasant, uncharitable odor pricking his nose. He rushed into the bathroom to clean himself up.

When Shawn came out and saw his body in the mirror, Shawn furrowed his brows. His eyes could not blink at the reflected figure. He saw that his skin now looked smoother and healthier. Somehow, his face also looked more handsome. Shawn was shocked. "No way."

Although he didn't grow taller, Shawn felt his body become more shaped and stronger. Shawn began to grin in disbelief. He felt happy with the body changes he was experiencing. "I can't believe this. What's happening to me?"

[Congratulations! You've been reborn!]
