My Evil Stepson System

"We needed someone on the inside who could help us get revenge on the king by having his daughter poisoned,"

"And why would you want to poison an innocent girl?" Kevin asked, his tone sounding irked by what he was hearing.

"..." The assailant remained silent, drifting his gaze away from Kevin.

"It seems I will have to beat the words out of you," He says, lifting the head of the assailant with one hand as though he was as light as a feather while his other hand curled into a fist before landing a punch into his stomach.

The assailant coughed out a huge chunk of air mixed with spit and saliva with tears streaming down his cheeks.

Two more punch landed on his gut before Kevin dropped him. The assailant clutched his stomach, rolling in agony with a loud cry.

Kevin lifted his head again and his fingers widened, ready to send a reverberating slap towards his face.

The memory of his subordinate head turning backwards replayed in his mind and he couldn\'t help but fear he was about to receive the same treatment as well

"Okay, okay I\'ll talk," He pleaded, urging Kevin not to undergo what he intends to carry out.

Kevin dropped him back down to the ground. The assailant gasped for air and clutched his rapidly beating heart before breathing steadily to calm his nerves.

He lifted his gaze upwards and noticed Kevin\'s impatient gaze locked to his.

\'Just how frightening can a person be?\' The assailant thought

He instantly gulped and began to talk right after inhaling deeply and releasing an exhale.

"We wanted her dead because we know Brian Stark is in love with his daughter,"

"What the f**k did you just say?!"

"We wanted her dead because we ..." The assailant wanted to repeat himself but saw Kevin\'s hand, urging him not to say anything.

Kevin was taken aback. He took two steps backwards, rubbing his forehead which suddenly began to ache.

\'Ugh, what the f**k did I just heard?\'

[Wow!! And I thought, I\'ve seen it all,]

[This just takes parental love into a whole new level of crazy,]

[Can\'t believe a Daddy would want to screw his little girl,]

[You see what I did there?] The parasite jested but the assailant\'s words drifted Kevin\'s attention towards him.

"It\'s the truth. Brian Stark really loves that little girl but...."

" But what?"

" It\'s not really like they\'re blood related,"

" The girl is actually his younger brother\'s daughter,"

"Everyone in the underground has heard a rumor or two about his past,"

"The King has always had a crush on his twin brother\'s wife but she chose to love his brother instead of him,"

" Although, heartbroken, he never got over the feelings he had for her.

"To him, she was the perfect girl he could have ever dream of having,"I think you should take a look at

" He\'s been known to have visited a couple of bordellos, aiming for a specific group of women having a similar pink hair to his brother\'s wife,"

" And in most cases, if he couldn\'t find one having a pink hair, he\'ll provide a pink wig to any girl having a similar body posture to his brother\'s wife,"

[Damn, that\'s some crazy obsessed love right there. I guess this explains why Dahlia was wearing a pink wig in the video,]

\'Indeed,\' Kevin replied to the parasite but the assailant continued.

"But then, the king\'s twin brother and his wife had an accident, leaving behind their daughter who was three years old at the time,"

"Then he took it upon himself to raise her and as she continues to grow, he couldn\'t help but compare the little girl to her mother,"

Kevin could see where this was going.

In short, Brian Stark hopes to reciprocate his obsessive love of his dead crush towards her daughter, but as for now, he is waiting until she\'s had her eighteenth birthday before completely having his way with the little girl.

[That\'s just sick,]

\'Tell me about it, \' Kevin replied to the parasite but still found something weird about all this.

There were still many questions in his head left unanswered like....

\'What does Brian Stark crazy love with his niece have to do with them wanting her dead?\'

\'What wrong did Brian Stark did to make them want to hurt him through the young girl?\'

\'Why are they so intent on going against someone that\'s described as the King of the underground when they know provoking someone of such a status will only lead to their deaths,\'

Not wanting to ponder on all these questions anymore, he asked them all from the assailant.

The assailant clutched his hands tightly, hanging his head down in despair as he tries to hold back the tears welling up his eyes after recalling a depressing memory of the past.

"There\'s been a drug circulating around the underground, "

" A drug?" Kevin asked, a brow raised.

" Yes, " The assailant sniveled. "The drug has been circulating around the underground for years now but at the time no one really paid much heed to it,"

"What type of drug? Cocaine? Cannabis?" Kevin asked, his brows creased.

" No, those types are too expensive. None of them are circulated in the underground anymore,"

He continued. " It\'s a new one called Mistletoe. I don\'t know where it came from but The King has been selling it to kids,"

" His gang easily rose through the ranks due to the sudden rise and massive demand of Mistletoe,"

" But no one ever thought about it at the time,"

" About what?"

" The sudden emergence of the cannibals and Awakened, and the abrupt disappearance of youths in the street at the stroke of midnight,"

" No matter how I see this, these things came about after the drug circulated the underground and the city,"

" They\'ve been little to no report to the public or media of the drug existence yet, because of the king and his men astute approach in distributing the drug across the city while making a ton of cash in the process,"
