Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 1096: The Curses’ Desire III - The Nest

"I am a disgrace?" Peter repeated what his daughter had thrown at him in anger. His face was beet-red, and he had to release his anger somewhere. That was when he ended up in the Nest’s training room. Peter stayed there for several hours until he was lying there, cursing himself and his fate.

"What would have happened to me if I had never met Paul Fang? Would everything be fine?" He asked himself quietly.

His meeting with Evalynn’s father hadn’t been great. He was a Lord in the Origin Expanse and in a fierce war with a Hyuman Lord, who’d nearly killed him. Peter Fang desperately grasped the last thread of his life while the Hyuman Lord had been looming over him. The Hyuman Lord was just about to kill him when Paul Fang arrived.

At that time, Paul Fang was already an old man. Still, the man was a powerful Curse User who loathed Hyumans more than anything. He killed the Hyuman Lord and every Hyuman Awakened and Summon. Paul didn’t care if they were combatants, children, elderly, or pregnant women. Paul killed every Hyuman after losing his beloved wife to a powerful Hyuman.

Their encounter wasn’t all that nice for Peter, but instead of being afraid of Paul, Peter was exhilarated. Witnessing the power of a Curse User for the first time was exciting. Peter was over the moon and asked Paul to teach him what he did. That moment changed everything.

Paul accepted Peter as his disciple and trained him. However, the training was anything but nice. It was torture, quite literally. Still, Peter prevailed and moved onward. He wasn’t talented but possessed the determination to prevail and keep going. That was what he did. Peter gave his utmost and overcame everything. He survived and grew stronger.

He...got to know Evalynn.

Paul continued torturing Peter, while Evalynn didn’t know anything about it. All she could see was her beloved father. The same strong and independent man who had raised her all by himself. He was alone and had to raise a child while fighting both inside and outside the Origin Expanse. But he prevailed.

At some point, Paul returned from the Origin Expanse with Peter. They used a high-quality Teleportation Token and met. Evalynn fell in love with Peter’s determination. She was proud of her father and had always dreamed of finding a man who worked as hard for his goal as her father. Peter was someone like that. Evalynn fell harder and harder in love with Peter, not realizing what her father was doing to Peter.

Paul was never satisfied with Peter, and his dissatisfaction with Peter’s talent intensified when he noticed that the only person he held dearly had fallen in love with him. Evalynn fell in love with Peter, thus sealing the young man’s fate. Paul increased Peter’s training program to an even higher level. Peter tried to overcome it, but the training was inhuman. Still, he found a liking to Evalynn as well and prevailed when he saw the love in Evalynn’s eyes.

Peter survived Paul’s training sessions, but something within Peter broke. He used his raging emotions to survive and grow stronger. That was necessary to survive. He had to survive. He had to grow stronger. If not, he would soon die.

"It was merely an idea. Nobody is forcing you," Selena said before turning around to leave again, "Think carefully about it. Your life is not yet over. Do you really want to be alone for the next hundreds of years?"

Peter had a lot to say, but the somber tone in her voice stopped him. The Nest Leader talked like she was giving him good-meant advice...from her experiences.

"I...will think about it..." Peter grumbled, but the harshness in his voice was no more.

He returned to the ground, his sweat-drenched back pressed against the cold ground.

"Alone...I was always alone. So what if I stay alone for the rest of my life?" Peter grumbled, but the pictures of his life in Elyra flickered through his mind. Their life in the Golden Sun province made him smile. Raising the brothers and training tirelessly with Hesta had been great. There was no doubt about that.

He hadn’t been alone at that time.

He...had been with his family at that time.

But that was no more.

Would he go back to that time if he could? For sure.

Was that possible? Nope.

Nonetheless, Peter could still try to make amends. Maybe the others wouldn’t accept it, but he could try.

That was what Peter Fang did. His journey to reunite with his family began.
