Chapter 95: 95.Reason for burning hunger in heart-3

What was the role of Braden Vance in Mylo’s life? What type of presence was he to Mylo? How much did he affect Mylo’s life?

​These were somewhat similar questions, sure. But their answers were intriguing to look at.

​Braden Vance was the man who was responsible for the beginning of Mylo’s terrible life. He was a presence Mylo feared, dejected, and hated.

​But it was the third question whose answer made Mylo rethink the previous answers.

​Braden looked confused as Mylo stared down at him. There wasn’t much difference in their height, but he felt meek compared to Mylo.

​His right hook didn’t mean anything to Mylo. He took it head-on and didn’t even budge.

​"You bastard!"

​Braden swung his body and this time kicked Mylo in the gut. But again, Mylo took it without any reaction.

​"Braden, Peter, what are you guys doing? You’re not kidding, are you? Stop joking around!"

​Vanessa screamed in annoyance, her heels clicking on the ground continuously.

’’Grraah!’’

Braden grunted and stepped back before trying to punch Mylo with his left hand. He twisted his body and delivered a kinetic impact.

But this time, Mylo simply dodged it by leaning backward. He finally had a semblance of focus in his eyes.

He grabbed Braden’s hand and yanked him to the side, hitting him hard on his oblique.

’’Agh!’’

​Braden grunted in a painful cry.

Mylo then punched him in the temple, Braden’s eyes losing focus for a fraction of second.

From the other side, Peter came running, roaring in anger. Mylo shoved Braden in Peter’s way before kicking Braden behind his knees.

Braden buckled down and crashed into the incoming Peter. The stumbling Peter was grabbed by the hair by Mylo. His cries were cut short as Mylo barraged him with punches to the face.

’’Guh!guh!ahh!hah!’’

​Peter painfully screamed as he felt his scalp almost ripping. Mylo dangled him and punched him again in the diaphragm before uppercutting him in the jaw.

​Pushing him aside, he delivered a final elbow hook to his jaw. Peter instantly collapsed onto the ground, losing consciousness.

’’...!’’

​Silence took over the whole area. Vanessa’s mouth hung open a little in complete disbelief. Behind her, Shyle trembled and stepped back, stumbling down, her round butt fell onto the cold ground.

​Braden coughed up blood mixed with his spit. He took deep, restless breaths before chuckling in defeat and looking at Mylo.

​"You... this whole time, were you just playing with me? Even on the first day... was it all just acting to look scared?"

​He pushed himself up with a loud grunt, clutching his side as his tightened face was covered in sweat.

"You must have enjoyed looking down on us. Very similar to Aldoff. I can can why you two work together."

Mylo chuckled upon hearing Braden. It felt like he was looking into a mirror.

He had been just as shortsighted as Braden, chaining himself within his own mind. He had hyper-focused on Braden from the very beginning, completely ignoring the clear danger waiting for him in the future.

He looked up at the sky. The morning hue had already arrived, drawing a curtain over the fading stars.

"Braden... I honestly feel pity for you."

"Huh? The hell are you talking about?!"

Mylo wondered, whether it was this life or his previous one, Braden had only ever been played by his brother. In the end, Braden didn’t have a second chance like he did.

Although Mylo had blinded himself with the thought that Braden was his greatest enemy, that wasn’t even close to reality. Individuals like Aldoff, Dragon, and their father-the boss of this entire drug empire-were far more cunning and dangerous. They were the ones truly responsible for wiping out his life.

In hindsight, Braden didn’t even come close to their level.

But that doesn’t mean I’m just going to let you off the hook.

Mylo looked down at Braden.

"You’re just trying to run away from your own reality. Putting your frustration on someone else to ignore your own lack of ability."

"You bastard, shut your damn mouth! Otherwise-"

"Otherwise what? What will you do?" Mylo cut him off. "You’re lying here, half-unconscious, getting beaten by me. Your brother has already fucked you over. Most of your followers are probably just for show. Braden, you have nothing. You can do nothing. You will never be able to do anything."

Braden opened his mouth, but no words came out.

All he saw were Mylo’s eyes. Braden flinched back-there was a raw, suffocating ferocity in that gaze that he simply couldn’t stand against.

Braden’s jaw tightened so hard his face distorted in madness. He screamed and charged at Mylo, swinging blindly and trying to grab him at all costs.

Whoosh!

All he struck was empty air.

No matter how hard Braden tried to grab, punch, or tackle him, Mylo remained completely out of reach.

Effortlessly dodging every wild attempt, Mylo finally caught Braden’s right hand and twisted it backward.

Crack!

Braden cried out in agony. Mylo forced him down, making Braden drop heavily to his knees.

Looking down at the broken figure, Mylo tightened his fists. His voice was mechanical, completely devoid of emotion.

"You don’t have to remember this. This is just for my own sake. This is for settling the score."

A barrage of punches rained down on Braden.

Bruises instantly bloomed across his face. The rhythmic impact of heavy fists and low grunts echoed down the quiet road. Blood began to coat Mylo’s knuckles, but he didn’t stop.

There was no hatred behind it, but there was no hesitation either. It was merely an empty attempt to fill the void in his own soul.

"Get away from him!"

A shrill shout cut through the air as a kick came flying straight at Mylo’s chest, forcing him back a few steps.

Vanessa? She can fight?

Mylo looked up at Vanessa. Her face was twisted in fury as she immediately pressed the attack.

’’Hah!’’

Surprised by the sudden aggression, Mylo put some distance between them.

She swung her leg in a high arc. Mylo barely dodged the sweeping kick in time. She followed up instantly, her next strike connecting hard against Mylo’s right cheek.

Ha! She can actually fight!
