Unstoppable Antihero
Chapter 31: Pride

Everyone wants at least one strength to survive, whether it's good thinking skills or muscle strength. Of the two things, Draco chose to hone the ability of his body muscles and boast of it. In fact, by training all that, he became strong and almost invincible in the Arteca Tribe.

But what will happen when it is taken, destroyed, and trampled? Draco doesn't know, his feelings are mixed, his pride shaken until finally he actually dies at the hands of people who are much stronger than him, from those who have high intelligence. An intelligence capable of making them superior to Draco.

Strength, pride, self-worth. What exactly does all that mean? Why is there always someone on top? So who is the one who is above all that? Could it be that he possessed all the power that everyone possessed? Standing at the top of the food chain inviolably.

Draco thought about it when his chest was shot, then slowly his eyes closed. One thing is certain, Draco can now only see darkness, without any light. He felt himself falling further and further into an abyss he did not know its base. Everything was over, there was nothing Draco could do anymore as his consciousness began to fade.

Although no one wants to admit, even if the world refuses to see, I am the strongest! Draco did not accept his defeat, he still screamed inwardly although now his body was slowly falling down on the ground. He does not care how others think, the strongest is still him, because he is aware of the reality in his head.

...*** ...

In a room, Draco manages to take a deep breath as he reaches forward. That gaze looked sharp with an aura enveloping his entire body. “It won't end just up here, Atlas. I will seek and reclaim the pride and pride you have taken!” His determination has been unanimous now, setting new goals.

Not long after, Draco's room door was knocked back. Different from before, Draco said, “If there is no business whatsoever, you better just go.”

“Don't be arrogant like that,” replied the person behind the door, enter quietly immediately. He was none other than Neo Khufu Ra-Mida, the King of the Fire Kingdom. “Don't you feel like you should explain how this happened, The Aries—Draco Evrard?”

“I'll reply to him!”

“Reply what?” Neo Khufu approached the bed and stood beside it. “You said you were the strongest, but now you're here, lying with a body full of wounds. Even almost died.”

“If your destination came here just to say it ...” Draco unhesitatingly grabbed the collar of the man's clothes in front of him. “I will not hesitate to kill you here, exactly using my own two hands, Neo Khufu.”

Draco was not playing around, but Neo Khufu even returned Draco's fierce gaze with a sharp gaze without knowing fear. Neo Khufu is still very confident, full of confidence in the power that is in him, so it is not strange if now he is standing quietly here while emitting an aura of intimidation towards the Aries.

“I'm not playing around, Aries.” Neo Khufu's tone of voice sounded so calm. He then put both hands in his pants pocket. “You promised to bring victory after return, but now you are here, without bringing any result other than loss.”

“Hah?!”

“Listen!” Neo Khufu brushed off Draco's hand clutching his clothes collar, “Next there should be no more failures.”

“You think who you are?!”

Once again Draco clenched both hands. He was angry, upset, but also helpless. Now he saw his pitiful self, for there were others in this world who were much stronger and more powerful than he was.

“You will see my greatness, Neo Khufu, Atlas.” Draco really can't accept a reality that doesn't match what's in his head. He denies that he is now a weak man in this new world, in the second life.

...*** ...

When Draco still did not come out of the room, Neo Khufu was seen sitting on the throne in the throne room. The man then glanced upwards, then exhaled a long breath. From the look on his face, he looked disappointed by the results of the role in the Thanatos Desert, he said, but this result was not bad enough either because Neo Khufu finally learned that there was another Star Child whose strength was on par with Draco.

Not long after, a door to the taktha room was knocked by someone. Without asking anything, Neo Khufu said, “Come in, I've been waiting for you.”

“Good, Your Highness.” From the large open door, Menes entered and immediately prostrated himself before his father. The young man was so respectful to the man who was now sitting on the throne.

“You have got the information I want, Menes?” asked Neo Khufu in a flat tone.

“Ya, Your Majesty,” replied Menes. “There is another Star Child hiding in the Fire Kingdom. However, now we are making a lot of efforts to capture the Star Child. Most likely he is a spy from another kingdom.”

“Good. Catch that Star Child alive for me. No matter how the condition, as long as it is still breathing, I will keep it alive.”

“Government accepted, Your Honor.” Menes slowly stood up. “Hamba please permission to withdraw first.”

“Ya.”

Menes had already left the throne room, while Neo Khufu smiled faintly after hearing the information earlier. However, as if being tickled, he could not bear to hold back until finally laughing as hard as he could, filling the throne room.

“Hahaha!” Neo Khufu laughed. “All those Star Children will be my slaves. I will use them to serve the Great God Neo Khufu their whole life!”

With all these events, Neo Khufu was already very confident that he would become the sole ruler of this world. Himself as a god will be known to the end of the ocean even. Everyone will worship and give all they have only to Neo Khufu.

“In the meantime the four kingdoms will vanish and will merge into the Fire Empire!”

While Neo Khufu was imagining what would happen in the future, behind the slightly opened big door, Menes listened to all of his father's words. The young man smiled faintly, then closed the door slowly so as not to be known by his father. He then stepped away muttering softly, “Hamba will always be loyal to you, Your Majesty.”
