Omniscient Revenge System

#007 Two Clowns

The mansion looked even more majestic at night, with massive crystal chandeliers illuminating every hallway. The moment they arrived inside, Seth knelt and adjusted the bowtie around Dustin's neck.

"Dustin, why don't you go find Grandpa in his study or the dining room? Dad needs to go to the lounge for a moment to meet Uncle Lucian," Seth instructed gently.

Dustin nodded obediently and jogged down the red-carpeted hallway.

Seth walked casually toward the spacious lounge. However, instead of Lucian, he found three strangers there. Two men in high-end suits and a woman sitting on the carpet, playing all by herself.

Seth frowned slightly when he saw the woman. She was playing with expensive wooden chess pieces—tossing them around and making them fight each other like action figures instead of setting them up on the board.

The first man—tall with an incredibly arrogant face—turned his head at the sound of Seth's footsteps.

"Oh, great. A new hire, huh? Quickly fetch me a bottle of brandy from that cabinet. My throat is getting dry waiting for the old man to come down," he ordered casually, assuming Seth was just extra staff for tonight's event.

Seth opened his mouth, about to correct the misunderstanding, but the second man sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine immediately cut him off.

"Don't waste time, Caleb. We're here to confirm the truth behind that rumor," Julian sneered dismissively. "I heard Grandpa suddenly found his biological grandson."

He overheard the discussion about himself. Seth swallowed his retort and calmly walked over to the liquor cabinet. He picked up an expensive bottle of brandy, pretending to wipe down a glass while sharpening his hearing.

"If the rumor is true, that new grandson is a massive threat, Julian!" Caleb scoffed harshly. "Grandpa might just hand over the entire Olympus empire to him."

"You're overreacting," Julian laughed cynically. "Even if he is the biological grandson, he grew up out there like a commoner. There is no way he can compete with us, who have been groomed as business executives since childhood. Besides, Grandpa is a workaholic. He values talent and skill far more than mere blood ties. He won't hand his throne to a moron just because of genetics."

Seth nodded slowly in his mind. His cousins were right about one thing: Alistair did highly value skills. Unfortunately, they severely underestimated Seth's skills.

Seth was about to command the system to uncover their secrets when Caleb suddenly turned and snapped at him.

"Hey, You! Why are you so slow?! Bring the drink right now!" Caleb barked, snapping his fingers in the air. "Are you deaf?!"

Caleb grew increasingly impatient as Seth didn't seem to move any faster.

"Did Lucian hire an idiot?" Julian chimed in with an insulting tone. "We already have one idiot in this room; we don't need another."

Seth initially wanted to know who the 'idiot' Julian referred to was, but his ears were already burning. He didn't need to waste energy playing nice with people who clearly had no respect for him.

Seth turned around and walked toward Caleb. But instead of pouring the brandy into the empty glass on the table, Seth tilted the bottle right above Caleb's head.

He let the golden-brown liquid soak Caleb's hair and ruin his thousand-dollar silk suit.

"Here is your drink," Seth said, his voice as cold as ice.

[Target Caleb experiences instant shock and fury. +15 Points.]

[Total Points: 139]

"YOU BASTARD!" Caleb roared like a madman. He shot up and swung his fist with all his might toward Seth's face.

With highly trained reflexes, Seth dodged it effortlessly. The moment Caleb's fist missed, Seth twisted his body and delivered a brutal kick to Caleb's shin.

His movements were extremely agile because he exercised regularly. His body had only grown weak when Max constantly poisoned him in his past life. Right now, his body was in its prime. Taking down two spoiled brats wouldn't even make him break a sweat.

"D... damn it!" Caleb groaned in agony, nearly tumbling onto the glass table.

Julian immediately jumped from his sofa, ready to intervene.

"DON'T FIGHT!"

A shrill scream stopped both of their movements.

The woman who had been busy playing with the chess pieces suddenly leaped between Seth and Caleb. She spread her arms wide with a terrified expression.

"D-don't fight! Grandpa… angry!"

Seth blinked. The warning itself wasn't wrong, but the delivery was incredibly bizarre.

Seth felt like he was listening to Dustin speak, even though the woman standing in front of him clearly had an adult's physique. She was probably only a few years younger than him.

"Don't be mean!" Her tone was exactly like a toddler breaking up a fight between playmates.

"CHLOE! Move!" Julian barked loudly.

But Chloe kept her arms spread wide, trembling. Looking at Chloe's body language, her gaze, and her innocence... Seth instantly realized that this woman in her twenties had the mental age of Dustin. She had special needs.

"Get your idiot face out of my sight, Chloe! This is none of your business!" Caleb snapped ruthlessly. He shoved his sister's shoulder without mercy, sending Chloe crashing onto the carpet.

"You're just a nuisance, you cripple. Sit over there!" Julian added, equally cruel.

Chloe looked down in terror, wringing the edge of her expensive dress while sobbing. "Grandpa... angry..."

Seth wrinkled his nose. Pure disgust and raw fury consumed his mind. His eyes are glaring at Caleb and Julian.

The system screen flashed brightly. Lines of blood-red text materialized in front of Seth's eyes, skinning the rot these two "perfect" cousins had hidden so deeply.

[Target 1: Caleb Olympus] 

[Major Secret: Embezzled $12 Million from the branch company using three shell companies. To cover the deficit, the target recently sold the confidential blueprints of Olympus's 'Project Titan' to their main rival, Zephyr Corp.]

[Target 2: Julian Olympus]

Seth's eyes rapidly scanned the red text. The next second, a low, raspy laugh dripping with murderous intent escaped his lips.
