Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 - 72 – Promise

"Then, I will delete all of the knowledge important to you! Without me, you will not achieve anything!" Theodor shouted.

"And get rid of your only chance at fulfilling your dying wish?" Kyle asked. "I'm not saying that you won't do it, but if you do that, both of us will suffer."

"I don't get my juicy brain juice, and you won't get your last wish."

"I refuse to live a life where some voice in my brain just tells me what to do! I am my own person! I have wants and needs!"

Theodor grumbled. "You are making a huge mistake! You are throwing your life away!"

"Living how I want is not throwing my life away. Listening to you and becoming somebody I despise would be throwing my life away."

"I am not about to become some weird and robotic ghost of a human who just mindlessly follows the path to power or whatever."

"I live my life how I want to live it."

"That is what life is!"

Kyle could feel Theodor seething with rage.

"You are my inheritor! You are destined for greatness! Will you throw all of this away for some mere mortals?!" Theodor shouted.

"I'm not throwing anything away. You are the one holding a gun to my head. If I don't comply with your demands and you fire, it is you who killed me, not me."

"You are the one throwing your wishes away, not me."

Despite Kyle's stalwart tone, he was extremely nervous deep inside.

Theodor was fucking crazy!

This guy was batshit insane!

Spiting him was stupid!

And yet, Kyle was just reminded of his last days on Earth.

He had punched that arrogant thug, and he didn't regret it.

Additionally, Magic Lady told him that he should follow his heart more.

Kyle didn't know how strong Magic Lady was, but he knew that she was stronger than anyone in this world.

She had confirmed that herself.

She could even send someone to a different world and alter their body without them even noticing.

As far as Kyle knew, his Predator's Being was not something this world could create just like that.

And if Magic Lady said that Kyle should follow his heart more, Magic Lady was probably right.

So, he did just that.

'Speaking of, I still have that job. I'm an Enforcer Trainee, right? And I'm supposed to become some kind of Overseer.'

'Then, I need to do some shady shit or something.'

Kyle sighed.

"Impressive," Theodor said after a while.

"What?" Kyle asked in surprise.

Was that a word of praise?

From Theodor?

What the fuck was going on?!

"You have managed to grasp the true extent of your soft power. That is not something a normal mortal can do," Theodor said.

Kyle blinked. "Dude, anybody can see that. It's the M.A.D principle. Mutually assured destruction. Nobody wants to press the big red button."

Naturally, Theodor didn't know what Kyle meant with words like gun or big red button, but he could understand the gist of it.

"I am in a unique position of powerlessness," Theodor said. "This is unfamiliar."

"As much as it hurts my pride, I have to admit that I can not fulfill my last wish by forcing you."

"There is a reason why the progeny of the nobles grow alone. Guidance is necessary, but too much mentoring will only cripple the youngster."

"You win this time, inheritor," Theodor said.

'Did he just call me inheritor? Not foolish mortal?' Kyle thought in surprise.

"However, you must follow my teachings, and you must promise me that you will repay me!"

"You said yourself that you repay favors, and I have given you several big favors! Promise me that you will fulfill my last wish!"

Kyle took a deep breath.

Killing Hieronymus and his lineage.

"Why does it have to be Hieronymus' lineage as well? They are just children. They shouldn't be punished for what their father did," Kyle said.
