GoodNovelChapter 613 Simon frowned in confusion.
Mr.
Eslinger, Ive never understood why youre so determined to control the Aickers.
I mean, with your abilities, you could easily build your own powerful legacy.
Bane snorted coldly.
What do you know about my ambitions? Cedric and I were once fellow apprentices under the smentor, Mr.
Gregory Sivan.
From the start, Cedric was inferior toin every way whether in medicine, combat, or earning Mr.
Sivans favor.
The man wasnt even in my league.
Simon looked skeptical.
If thats true, then why are you here all alone? Meanwhile, Mr.
Aicker has established a family empire thats thriving in Jayrodale.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBanes expression darkened, his face twisting into a grimace .
Funny you should ask.
My story isnt too different from yours.
He paced slowly as he continued.
Cedric was a nobody at the Advanced Medical Institute, a clown obsessed with weird herbs and remedies.
I was respected, one of the Institutes top figures, while he was ignored by everyone.
But somehow, that pathetic fool becMr.
Sivans favorite.
Bane clenched his jaw as his voice grew harsher.
Mr.
Sivan even married off his daughter, our junior apprentice Beatrice, to that loser! Simons eyes widened in shock.
Wait, are you tellingyoure just like me, who had his girl stolen ? Damn.
Banes scarred face twitched as he suppressed the urge to slap Simon.
Watch your mouth! My case is nothing like yours.
He sneered.
Sure, Cedric inherited Mr.
Sivans legacy and got Beatrice, but I didnt fall behind him in terms of skill or power.
Still, Mr.
Sivan kept favoring him more over time, which drovemad .
I repeatedly asked why he treatedso unfairly.
He explained, Every time, he berated me, saying I was arrogant and lacked the humility necessary for medicine.
He scolded me, tellingto learn from Cedrics dedication and perseverance.
He even said that Cedrics slow, methodical approach was the true path to success.
Bane scoffed bitterly.
As if Id believe that nonsense.
Eventually, I couldnt take it anymore.
I broke into his hidden chamber, stole a manual on toxic arts, and began mastering it in secret .
Then, on the day Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSivan married Beatrice to Cedric, I crashed the wedding.
I injured Mr.
Sivan, kidnapped Beatrice, and made a spectacle of myself.
He chuckled darkly before saying, That was my moment of glory.
Far better than you, stumbling around naked after fleeing the Aicker residence.
You think you can compare yourself to? he taunted, his gaze sharp and condescending .
Simon gritted his teeth, swallowing his humiliation.
Youre right.
I dont measure up to you.
But look at yourself youre hiding from the world and wanted by the Advanced Medical Institute.
All those grand stories dont really match your current situation, do they ? Banes eyes blazed with fury.
Bullshit! If it werent for the poison arts ravaging my body, causing m constant skin decay that I have to suppress, I wouldnt be in hiding! I also killed several disciples when I defected, and Mr. Sivan died not long after I injured him.
Thats why the Institute put a bounty on my head.
Sure, the Institute is powerful, but Ive killed every hunter they sent afterhe added with a cold laugh. Unfortunately, Cedric also huntedrelentlessly back them.
I was forced to abandon Beatrice during my escape.
