The Secret Heir: I Became the Heir of Strongest Hidden Clan

Chapter 08 - Meeting with the strongest(1)

"What? stop blabbering and tell me what you really want?"

Aden couldn't probably believe that his son-in-law, who was literally locked in his own room for almost three years now, wanted to return to his hometown. 

He just thought that he wanted some money to play around with and was beating around the bush not knowing how to ask him.

"That is really all I want"

Eren couldn't possibly say that he wanted to train secretly for about three to six months until he feel safe himself so that he could survive in the midst of the ' Monsters of Rozentals".

"Why?"

The reaction he got was scary.

The look on the face of Aden Von Rozental was distorted. He looked very scary at the movement.

Eren instinctively took a step back and dug his fingernails into the skin.

"Why would you say that?"

Aden made Eren change his last name to Rozentals as the condition for agreeing to their love, because he didn't want his loving daughter to go to some no-name-named family, and since Eren was an Orphan, it wasn’t hard for him to erase the evidence of him ever being a poor man.

Aden was oddly sensitive when it came to his bloodline, among his four female children, three of them had married a man who had to inherit the name of Rozental, not because he wanted to but was forced to, and another one was yet to come to the age of marriage.

That’s just how scary he was when it came to the matter relating to his family.

Eren was feeling like his whole world was spinning, it was even harder to breathe properly.

'So, this is the strongest man on Earth.'

The pressure he gave off was no joke. Even though he was just sitting on the chair, his intent alone was enough to make Eren pass out.

Eren wanted to say that it was all joke and just run away from there. But he knew that he couldn't back away now!

"B... B....b.....because I want to Live"

Eren shouted desperately as the pressure on him disappeared like a lie and the room got silent for a moment.

"Is someone trying to kill you?"

Aden asked, this time his voice was calm, it was a wonder how he manage to change his moods that easily.

"I feel like I would suffocate to death if I stay here"

Aden glared at him as he heard that.

There was no way that Aden didn't know what Eren has been going through in the last three years, he had eyes and ears everywhere in the mansion, he knew how Eren was Humiliated, how he was beaten to half death, and despite knowing everything he chose to be silent.

"I know I am just an Ant and an ant no matter what can't escape the Human's finger"

That’s the reason why Eren endured everything till now because he knew that nothing is going to change even if tried to get away.

Even when knowing all that he relied on the only one who ever saw him as a Human, his Wife, he held onto her as his last hope.

That was the true self of the man who was ignored, beaten, and trampled, Eren Rozental. 

It was the sincerity of the man who was tired of enduring all the things.

"There is a saying that people do not change easily, If you are born to an ant then so be it"

There was no expression on his face as Aden said that, it wasn't anger nor was it the disappointment that he felt at first, his words just lacked any emotion!

'This is a test!', That's when Eren knew, the person in front of him was testing him.

"If I was born to be an Ant then I must change that!"

He said resolutely.

"What can a trash like you do?"

Calling him trash directly... was too much! but Eren wasn't offended, because he knew that it was also a test for him.

"Nothing as of now...."

He said, " But soon…I am going to become a Human"

"And while I am in it., I will become the strongest one at that"

He said looking straight at Aden, with a strong resolve gleaming in his eyes.

“hehe…”

Aden was thrilled, a smile appeared on his face, not a pleasant one but one that scoffed at him.

In his usual boring daily life, a weird entertainment appeared!

The words of Eren meant that he challenged the very existence of Aden Von Rozental, the strongest man on Earth himself!

What an exaggeration!

But it made Aden's hair stand! For the first time in many years, Aden was excited.

"hehehehe... You will become the strongest? that, must not be some empty words, right?"

His smile gave Eren chills!

"Ok then, I will grant your request, Six Months, I will make sure no one in the house of Rozental will disturb you, but if you aren't in my chamber the day after the six months...."

"I am going to come for you myself"

Eren felt a chill all around his body as he heard that, but he managed to strengthen his legs as he bowed to him.

Now that he had achieved what he came here for, he didn’t want to stay in that room even for a second.

Without saying anything, Eren left the room!

Coming out of the room, Eren sighed… “How scary…!”
