My Path of Revenge After Being Reborn as an Anti-Hero

Familiar Paper

"So, you've truly recovered, huh?" Julius Frey, the man who was Allen's father, uttered it with a blend of indifference and a tinge of surprise.

Upon hearing this, Allen merely smiled and responded, "It was just luck, nothing out of the ordinary."

With those words, he proceeded to make his way towards the sofa, settling down in silence as he leaned back.

Julius's brows furrowed slightly as he observed the scene, but he chose not to pursue the matter any further.

"By the way, how did you recover?" Julius asked spontaneously, his expression remaining impassive.

Upon hearing the question, Allen shifted his gaze toward Julius, pondering the nature of his father and reflecting on their relationship in his past life.

Indeed, Julius Frey, his father, had always prioritized the family's interests above all else, a characteristic that lingered in Allen's thoughts.

In his mind, Julius was a person who didn't hesitate to sacrifice his children and wife for the supposed prosperity of the family.

In Allen's previous life, he had come to realize this and found himself in constant conflict with his father due to their divergent perspectives and beliefs.

Once upon a time in the past, Julius had arranged for Allen's sister, Lecia Frey, to marry a man from a Marquis-level family in the kingdom of Avalorida.

Avalorida was not only one of the seven great kingdoms but also the kingdom nearest to Eldoria.

At the time, Lecia, being strongly against the arrangement, implored Allen to plead with Julius to cancel the plan.

Without hesitation, Allen agreed and approached Julius to request the annulment of his sister's marriage.

However, Julius staunchly disagreed, leading to a deep and prolonged confrontation between the two.

Recognizing the potential consequences of pushing his son to rebel, Julius eventually yielded to the request.

He understood that the risk of losing his son outweighed any potential repercussions from displeasing the Marquis family.

During that time, Allen had garnered support from his mother's family, the Marquis Magnus, as well as demonstrated exceptional talent in magic.

Recognizing these advantageous factors, Julius swiftly made the most favorable choice.

Now, as the reborn Allen, he finally comprehended the immense burden that came with Julius' position as the head of the Duke Frey family.

Every decision made by Julius bore the immense responsibility of shaping the destiny of the Frey family.

Though Allen's previous naïve perspective had clouded his judgment, that didn't mean he wholeheartedly agreed with Julius' mindset.

"I cannot say for certain, but I had a dream where a Wizard appeared and healed me," Allen calmly replied, devoid of any nervous fluctuations.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of curiosity and interest appeared on Julius' face, marking the first time such an expression had emerged.

"Tell me more," Julius urgently requested.

Allen simply smiled and proceeded to recount the same explanation he had shared with Greta, his mother.

After hearing Allen's account, Julius broke into a smile for the first time.

"It might not just be a dream but a reality!" He exclaimed with enthusiasm.

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel elated, as the Wizard level represented a level of unimaginable power.

In a world where the Great Wizard had never made an appearance, Wizards stood at the pinnacle, reigning supreme in the celestial sky.

Within the kingdom of Eldoria alone, there were only five renowned Wizards known as the "Five Invincible Sages," for they were the sole Wizards within the great kingdom of Eldoria!

Observing Julius' newfound enthusiasm, which starkly contrasted with his previous indifference, Allen could only shake his head.

"He remains unchanged," he pondered, deciding not to dwell on it any further.

As long as Julius didn't hinder his future quest for revenge, Allen simply didn't care.

The father-son bond between them didn't exist, as Julius viewed him merely as a disposable tool, cast aside once it ceased to serve a purpose.

Therefore, Allen didn't mind if Julius posed a threat to his newfound peaceful life; he harbored intentions of eventually eliminating him!

"By the way, I'm curious about his current strength," an intriguing idea sparked in Allen's mind, prompting him to assess Julius' capabilities.

Besides being able to view his own panel, the system had granted him the authority to access the panels of others, a feature he had yet to utilize.

In that instant, Allen glanced at Julius and whispered, "Panel, activate!"

---------------------------------------------

[Information Panel:]

[Name: Julius Frey]

[Age: 35 Years Old]

[Title/Blessing (Class): Invincible (Swordfighter), Courage as Sharp as a Sword (Swordfighter), Born Genius (Swordfighter), One Strike Destroys Everything (Swordfighter)]

[Class: Swordfighters]

[Class Level: Great Sword Master (Swordfighter)]

---------------------------------------------

Witnessing this, Allen's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured, "As expected, he remains unchanged."

"But in the future, he will surpass the Sword Saint level."

He offered a light smile and promptly deactivated the panel.

"Deactivate the panel," he whispered, and soon the panel vanished from his view.

While that future prospect appeared remarkably potent, it lay on the distant horizon. Perhaps, by then, Allen might even catch up and attain the esteemed status of a true Wizard.

In the past, he had already brushed against that level, and the hero had similarly reached such heights with his unique class.

Their battles raged with intense ferocity, yet Allen managed to emerge victorious despite not possessing the two classes that his opponent had.

Even now, he remains perplexed by the outcome.

If it weren't for the interference of the two women who betrayed him, Allen was confident that he could have succeeded in defeating the hero.

Observing Julius, who had been contemplating various possibilities in his mind, a sudden smile adorned his face as he rose from his seat.

"This is an excellent opportunity for you to become stronger and seize it," he remarked casually, as if expecting Allen to readily accept his words without question.

Witnessing this, Allen merely responded with a cold smile, concealing his true emotions from Julius.

"Well, perhaps you're right," Allen replied with a lack of enthusiasm.

Soon, Allen slowly rose to his feet, stretching his back as he prepared to depart, feeling that there was nothing of importance left to discuss with Julius.

However, just as he was about to turn away, Julius caught hold of him, delaying his departure.

"Wait! Don't leave yet, for there is something I need to tell you," Julius implored, retrieving a paper and carefully rereading its contents before handing it over to Allen.

"I want you to see this," Julius stated, extending the paper towards him.

Observing the document, Allen's sense of familiarity heightened, compelling him to step forward and accept it.

"After reading that, you may find some happiness." Julius smiled faintly, his words imbued with significance.

Hearing this, Allen's brows furrowed as he read the title of the paper, his expression rapidly freezing.

"Engagement Letter," he whispered, his voice filled with disbelief.
