Reincarnated With The Undefeated System

Chapter 8 A Baby's Life Already In Danger.



It's been four days since the birth of Aiden into the Tuvalon Kingdom. It was evening currently, the sky was getting dark little by little.

But though it was evening, the City Square was still bustling. People were moving back and forth, the merchants were still selling, and the buyers were still buying. The City Square wouldn't be free of people until it was nighttime.

In a well-furnished house, a man could be seen sitting on one of the chairs in the house. The house was very vast, and there were beautiful paintings on the walls of the house. Glancing at the house, one could tell that the owner of it was wealthy.

The man sitting on a chair was dressed in an expensive red robe. And there were expensive golden bracelets on his wrists. His fingers were decorated with expensive rings, and there was a certain kind of expression on the man's face...like, it was unreadable.

He goes by the name, Asher, and who was he? He was Ethan's older brother. He was one of the high-ranked chiefs in the Tuvalon Kingdom meaning he had knights that were protecting him and his family, he had servants too.

He was an S-rank bender meaning he possessed the fire power element. But he was different from, Ethan, he awakened his power and didn't bother to train, he didn't learn to wield mana, he didn't step foot into any academy specialized in training benders.

He was just like most of the other high-ranked chiefs and nobles. He had three children, two boys, and one girl. His first issue was male, this was one of the reasons why he was able to make it to the high-ranked chief easily.

He and Ethan were brothers, but there were things Ethan doesn't know about him...things Ethan wasn't aware of. Asher was still sitting on the chair when two young men in black clothing stepped foot into the house and stood in front of him. The moment they did that, Asher inquired,

"So, is the news true? Does my brother have a son now?".

"Yes, a bouncing baby boy...and he goes by the name, Aiden". One of the men retorted.

The moment he heard that, he bent his head a little, shook it, raised back his head, glanced at them, and said,

"You have to capture him, don't kill him, just capture him. After capturing him, take him to the other house where we do meet, then come give me the news here. Ethan mustn't become an average-ranked chief, not to talk of a high-ranked one".

The two men just nodded their heads in understanding. Both of the young men weren't part of the knights protecting Asher and his family. They were his personal assassins that do all his dirty stuff...he can't use the knights bestowed to him by the king?

He was a bad man, a snake in the green grass, a silent killer, a slow poison. The servants in the house weren't close by, they were attending to his wife and daughter, so they couldn't hear what they were planning. And that was the same case for his two sons.

The knights weren't left out, he intentionally sent all of them on an errand so they wouldn't know what they were planning.

"You guys should do your job well, capture his son without anyone knowing. But if you get caught in the process of capturing him, don't you dare pin the blame on me. If you do, you all would regret it, your families would get involved, their lives would be endangered,

But if you don't, I'll take care of your families. Understood!".

"Yes sir!". The both of them voiced out in unison.

"You may go now, go do your jobs, go capture Ethan's son". Asher voiced out.

The two men began strolling out of the edifice. They weren't the only ones that would handle the job, they were four in total...the remaining two were outside.

Now, this was what Ethan didn't know about, Asher...Asher despises him with passion. Ethan knew he and his older brother weren't that close, but what he didn't know was how much his brother despises him.

Asher had never wished for anything good to happen to his brother, Ethan. He was happy that Ethan was a low-ranked chief, it gives him joy. He became a chief before Ethan, and even when Ethan became a chief, though it was a low-ranked one...he was very angry.

But now, he had gotten over it, and his only prayer was for Ethan never to have a son so his rank as a chief wouldn't increase, but his prayer didn't come to pass...Ethan has a son now. And that's why he wanted to capture his son, and most likely kill him.

But why does he hate Ethan this much? It all started when they were just little boys. Their father was a lucky man getting to have two male kids, but even with this, he chose not to dive into politics. He preferred Ethan to Asher.

He cherished Ethan more, he loved him more. And what was the reason? Ethan was hardworking, he was always on the move. But as for, Asher, he was lazy, he prefers to relax most of the time.

Asher awakened his power which was 'fire'. And so many times, his father talked to him about going to an academy designated to train benders so he could learn to make use of his power well, so he could learn to wield mana, so he could become good at martial arts and other things.

..But Asher kept on refusing.

Then Ethan awakened his first power which was 'wind', and at that moment, they found out that he possessed another power...wow! he was so talented, those were the comments circulating.

He awakened his second power which was 'water', and his dad was so happy, he was so proud. Before that event, Asher had already hated, Ethan, but that event strengthened it. Their dad talked to Ethan about visiting an academy to learn to make use of his power elements well, to become a warrior, and Ethan agreed.

That only made their father cherish Ethan more, and the hatred Asher has for Ethan kept increasing. From then, Asher decided that even if he doesn't become a warrior, he'll become something in life. Now, look, he was a high-ranked chief, and he still has deep hatred for, Ethan.

..Remembering that Ethan's son would soon be captured, a smirk appeared on Asher's face. A baby's life had already been put in danger, Aiden's life was in danger…

It was nighttime already, and Emma had just finished breastfeeding, Little Aiden. She brought him to the living room and kept him in the crib. But she doesn't plan on letting him go to sleep yet, she still wanted to carry him for some time before she'll leaves him to sleep and she'll go sleep herself.

The crib that was in her room before was now in the living room again, she keeps moving it from room to living room. Hazel was in her room reading a book, while Ethan was in the room handling some things.

Emma kept him in the crib, then began strolling into her room. She wanted to get something, then she'll come back to carry him a little once again. She entered the room, took what she wanted to take, and came out.

..But Aiden wasn't in the crib anymore. First, she didn't believe what she was seeing. She strolled closer to the crib, glanced properly into it, but Aiden wasn't inside...her baby wasn't inside. She scanned around the living room, glanced under the crib, but she couldn't find him.

And at that moment, she raised an alarm, she began screaming,

"My babyyy!! I can't find my baby!! Ethan, come here, I can't find my baby!!".

Ethan heard the noise and ran out of the room, then he inquired of, Emma,

"What is it?".

"I can't find our baby, I can't find, Aiden. I left him here in the crib, went inside to take something, came out, but didn't see him anymore". Emma expressed with a worried facial expression.

"What!". Ethan voiced out, how was that possible?

Hazel ran out of her room and inquired of, Emma,

"Mummy, what is it?".

"I can't find your little brother".

"What!".

Ethan glanced at the door, and he could tell someone came in and went out of it, it wasn't closed properly. Someone took the baby, he or she did it very swiftly. They could be more than one, he was already contemplating all these in seconds.

He ran towards the window, glanced off it, and he saw someone in black jumping off the fence of their house. He didn't see the person's face...but he was sure the person was in black.

"Who is that person?". Ethan muttered to himself.
