Chapter 235: Red Deer

He remembered.

The person in front of him was not someone from his tribe, but a billionaire who held the lifeline of thousands of people in his tribe.

Cement roads, streetlights, supermarkets, houses that shelter from wind and rain, schools, hospitals...

If he annoyed the other party, everything he had now would disappear.

Gulp—

The chief, who possessed powerful strength, lowered his head and returned to his previous posture—no, a posture even lower than before.

"Very sorry, my emotions were a bit out of control just now. Our tribe has a tradition of respecting the corpses of ancestors, so..."

Louis glanced at him and didn't speak.

This chief seemed very familiar with the social rules of the outside world. He skillfully took out a black eagle feather. This eagle feather was upright and beautiful, and it looked like something extraordinary at first glance.

"This is the tail feather of the divine eagle that our tribe used to raise. It can withstand one attack for the carrier. Since the gods no longer respond to us, the cultivation of the divine eagle has also been cut off. This is the only eagle feather we have left."

Louis took the twenty-centimeter-long tail feather and examined it carefully, turning a deaf ear to the chief's words, not believing them at all.

After sensing it slightly, he found that it vaguely contained curse power similar to a substitute doll.

After confirming this, Louis's face bloomed with a smile. He supported the chief with both hands. "Hey, Chief, seeing your ancestor's tomb dug up, I can understand your anger. It's nothing."

"However, Chief, you'd better go and deal with it quickly. Looking at the dryness and wetness of the soil, it should have happened in the last two days. Perhaps it's still in time."

Calusa felt relieved in his heart, finally having appeased this billionaire.

Immediately, his spirit lifted. "You are right, I will go now."

Subsequently, Louis and the two returned to town.

Perhaps what Calusa said was true. As soon as he recounted it, the group of people around him exploded, looking like the sky was falling.

Then they began to gather personnel and started a town-wide search.

Searching for strangers who had come here recently, as well as the clansman responsible for guarding the place—Red Deer.

Of course, strangers did not include Louis and his party.

Just as the Calusa tribe was making a big fuss.

Suburbs of Orlando.

The boy Kelly, who had just taught the bully a lesson with his ability, felt like he was having a blast.

Growing up, because of his single-parent family and thinness, he had developed some bad habits, such as... pica.

This further led to his thin body and loneliness, and in America, it was almost a law that loners were bullied.

Naturally, he was bullied.

But perhaps fate was also calling him to resist, so a priest with ability came before him and bestowed it upon him.

And this ability...

Looking at his palm, Kelly used a blade to cut a gash, and just two seconds later, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, he took out the eraser he got from the school bully's desk and swallowed it mouthful by mouthful.

Then, bang!

One punch!

Two punches!

Punch after punch to the flesh.

But it wasn't hitting the school bully, but himself.

Strangely, he couldn't feel any pain at all, but the school bully knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach and letting out a cry of pain.

Watching this scene, pleasure rose in his heart. With this, he didn't have to worry about spending his family's money on medical bills like before.

No, no, no.

I have gained ability, why do I still have this kind of thinking!

Kelly's eyes suddenly became firm. He decided to take revenge on those bullies.

He looked at the bullies and sneered.

At this time.

Several friends of the bully ran over, hurriedly helping him up, asking anxiously, but happened to see Kelly watching them with a sneer.

"Hey! Freak, what did you do to my brother?"

Reed, the eldest son of the school football coach and the leader of this small group, grabbed Kelly by the collar and questioned him angrily.

Kelly was panicked at first, but then calmed down, sneering at Reed.

Reed was startled. Did it really have something to do with him?

But what followed was anger.

You little guy dare to look at me like this now?

A sandbag-sized fist swung over.

Bang!

"Ouch!!"

Reed clutched his eye and took a few steps back, his eye socket already bruised.

Reed was suspicious, but still didn't believe in evil, and rushed up again to attack.

However...

"Ah!"

This is evil!!

Reed had an expression of having seen a ghost, retreated in a panic, and quickly ran away with his brother and friends. Before leaving, he looked at Kelly with eyes full of fear and resentment.

Kelly took a deep breath, opened his arms with joy, as if embracing the future.

With this ability, he had regained a brand new future!

But he didn't see.

On the second floor of the teaching building, a pair of eyes were watching him intently.

Meanwhile.

Town.

"So, a liar pretending to be a priest came here before? And stayed for a night?"

"Then the next day, Red Deer disappeared?"

"Yes, Chief, we found out that it was like this. I think Red Deer might have gone there."

He pointed to the location of the suburbs.

Calusa looked at the distant suburbs, hesitation flashing in his eyes.

Should he go over?

If not, he would quietly go over with a few people, and not make a big fuss and let the clansmen go.

Thinking this way, Calusa was about to speak when he saw Louis walk over. "It seems Chief Calusa is planning to go to Orlando? Do you need my help?"

Calusa's eyes lit up. "Can I?"

Louis smiled. "Of course."

In Louis's view, the Calusa tribe was already in his pocket.

So helping out a bit was nothing.

Moreover, this matter seemed to be something offered to him, and he was quite curious about what the Calusa ancestors' ability would be.

This technique of being able to preserve the power of ancestors was truly magical~

He made a gesture.

Vehicles drove over quickly.

Calusa took his people and sat in, speeding toward the suburbs.

The sky had darkened by now.

When the sun set, darkness rose.

A murder was taking place on the highway.

Screech—

Bang!

The vehicle stopped suddenly, hitting the thin student directly and sending him flying.

Reed rushed down and looked at Kelly, who was struggling in front of the car. "Let you talk to Domi, now you know how powerful it is?!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Go, go, go!"

"My dad called."

"Don't worry about it for now."

Four or five people immediately got into the car and drove away in a hurry.

Yes.

This was their revenge.

Not only that.

They were also going to Kelly's house to destroy it, play some pranks, and let Kelly know how powerful they were.

After the vehicle drove away, Kelly stood up clutching his head, the bloodstains on his body healing rapidly, his eyes full of anger.

He already possessed this power bestowed by heaven, and only thought of beating them up, but they actually wanted to kill him!

Anger drove him to run wildly.

At this time.

A man with a red headband appeared nearby. He saw Kelly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed.

The two ran and chased like this.

"Why are you chasing me!"

"You, give it back! The ability!"

Red Deer shouted, out of breath.

Kelly looked puzzled, only feeling that this person was strange, and his feet ran faster.

"Give it back!"

Watching Kelly run further and further away, Red Deer shouted in despair.

Ah ah ah!!

Red Deer knelt on the road, pounding the ground in anger.

Heaven knows why these things happened!

He was clearly just guarding the tomb according to the tribe's orders, although he had some small thoughts, wanting to secretly transfer the ability to himself through a ritual.

But before he could implement it, an accident happened.

"Damn priest liar, damn, damn, damn, if the tribe finds out, they will definitely kill me."

"No, I must get the ability back as soon as possible, otherwise I'm finished!"

Red Deer gritted his teeth and continued to run forward.

Just that.

On this road.

Louis and his party's convoy was also speeding over, because this was the only road from the town to the suburbs.

And at this time.

Kelly's house.

A "prank" was taking place.

"Are we really going to destroy Kelly's house?"

A bully said hesitantly.

"Humph, anyway, it's just this kind of cheap self-built house, not worth much."

"But..."

"Don't 'but' anymore, if you don't have the guts, leave."

"Come on."

Several people tied ropes to the two corners of the house and connected them to the car. They only needed to start the car's horsepower to drag the house to tilt.

Just as they got into the car.

In the corner, a black-haired girl was secretly watching.

It was Domi, the girl who talked to Kelly and the reason Kelly was just bullied.

Watching Reed and the others about to destroy the house, Domi's expression was calm, even as if she were pondering something. Suddenly, she took out her phone and sent a message.

The vehicle started.

Hum, hum, hum!!

With the acceleration of horsepower.

This cheap self-built house tilted accordingly, waking up the people inside.

However...

An oil lamp also fell.

The house burst into flames in an instant, and Kelly's mother's cry for help seemed to come from inside.

At this moment.

Reed and the others were stunned.

They just wanted to cause destruction, they didn't want to kill anyone.

After a panic, the vehicle fled in a hurry, disappearing without a trace.

Domi, who remained in the corner without showing herself, was watching this scene calmly, with no intention of saving anyone. "This is good. People who have lost their loved ones are more likely to have empty hearts and be controlled."

"However, how did this ability get to Kelly? He shouldn't have anything to do with the Calusa tribe."

"Whatever, wait here for now, wait for Kelly to come back, and then go over to comfort him."

A moment later.

Kelly, who ran back in a hurry, looked at the fire and fell into despair. He rushed in without hesitation.

"Mom! Mom!"

But he only saw the woman choked to death by thick smoke in the corner.

Kelly carried the woman out while burning all over.

The flesh on his body was burning while healing rapidly.

Both terrifying and magical.

But Kelly didn't care about this at all. He kept shaking his mother, wanting her to open her eyes, but this was obviously a luxury.

Kelly sat on the ground with red eyes.

Looking at his mother's corpse in grief, he took out his phone and dialed the fire department.

At this time.

Domi, who had been hiding in the dark, rushed out, looking at the scene in surprise. "Oh my god!"

"Kelly, are you okay?"

"Domi?"

"I, I just saw Reed and the others driving this way, thinking they were going to do something bad, so I came to see, I didn't expect..."

!!!

Kelly's expression turned ferocious instantly.

"Reed?"

"It was them?!"

"They did this?!"

Domi looked frightened and nodded.

Kelly was full of hatred and confusion.

He couldn't figure it out.

Why?

Why did he, who had gained ability, only resist the bullies, and end up being treated like this?

Could it be that heaven gave me this power, not for me to resist?

No.

I want revenge.

I want to take revenge hard!

Domi sat beside Kelly with sympathy, gently stroking his hair.

Kelly lay on her lap and cried bitterly.

At this time.

"Ha... ha... wheeze... ha..."

Red Deer, who ran over panting, also felt a bit strange seeing this scene, but still ran to Kelly immediately.

Seeing Red Deer, Domi's expression changed slightly, fleetingly.

"Hey, kid, give, give the ability back."

Kelly, who had raised his head and wiped away his tears, refused categorically.

"Impossible!"

???

Good guy, how can you, a thief, speak so righteously!

But facing Kelly's red eyes, Red Deer suddenly lost the idea of using force. Well, if he really used force, he probably wasn't this kid's opponent.

However, the ability must be taken back!

"I want to use it for revenge, my mother was burned to death by them."

"Okay, I'll help you take revenge, but you have to promise to give the ability back, okay?" Red Deer said immediately.

Kelly nodded. "Okay."

For him, nothing was important now, the most important thing was revenge.

Domi, who was listening on the side, spoke up at this time.

"Kelly, don't you think he is suspicious?"

"Why didn't he appear earlier, but appeared now, and said to give it back as soon as he opened his mouth."

???

Red Deer frowned. "What are you saying? Are you suspecting that I am lying?"

"Kelly, was your ability passed to you by a priest? Let me tell you, that priest is a liar. He went to our Calusa tribe's cemetery two days ago and stole our ancestor's tomb, that's how he got the ability."

"But this kind of ability will bring disaster to mortals. I think you should have felt it by now."

Kelly opened his mouth. "So, Mom died because of me?"

"Er, not entirely, after all, the person who did it was someone else, it just had an influence."

Red Deer, who was lying, said so.

"So, we still have to kill them." Kelly said with resentment.

"Okay, we can talk about how to do it."

For Indians who advocate blood revenge, Red Deer had no resistance to so-called revenge.

Domi, who had been comforting Kelly, frowned, but then returned to calm and didn't speak.

"Tell me about your enemies first."

"Hmm."

Red Deer and Kelly seemed to have formed an alliance.

Along with Kelly's narration, Red Deer roughly understood what Kelly meant.

Among the people who bullied him, there were mainly two brothers. They were the sons of the school football coach. In American schools, the status of football is extremely high, and the requirement for sports activities is to be strong.

In this case, his two sons were naturally very strong. Because Kelly was lonely and thin, he unfortunately became the main target of their bullying.

And facing their bullying, even if Kelly had tried to report it to their coach father, the other party didn't take it to heart at all, thinking it was a normal exchange between boys, and ignored it.

"Let's go, let's go find Reed now. I remember the school football coach has a unified apartment..."

However.

Hum, hum, hum!!!

The roar of vehicles resounded all around.

Before they could react, vehicles rushed out from all directions, forming a circle, surrounding them tightly.

The bright headlights made people unable to open their eyes.

"Sorry, you can't go anywhere now."

Tang Mi respectfully opened the car door, and Louis said while getting out of the car.

Clatter!

A large group of people got out of the car, surrounding them in the middle with guns.

Watching this scene, Kelly stood up instinctively to protect Domi, looking at the big men and Louis with vigilance.

But he didn't see the speed of the change in Red Deer's face beside him.

First doubt, then shock, then panic and despair.

Plop!

Red Deer knelt on the ground directly.

???

Kelly looked at the man who asked him for ability in shock. He thought this person should be very capable, why did he kneel suddenly now???

But he saw Red Deer kneeling on the ground, explaining and begging to Calusa, who was standing next to Louis. "Chief, I know it was my fault for not guarding well, leading to the inheritance being stolen. I just hope the Chief can give me a chance. I have already found the recipient of the ability, and can let him return the ability!"

"I said, I will return it after revenge!" Kelly said loudly.

Red Deer glared at Kelly fiercely, but didn't speak, just looked at Calusa pleadingly.

But Calusa didn't look at him, but looked at Louis in front. "Mr. Louis, this ability is offered to you, what do you think?"

Louis touched his chin and examined Kelly.

Don't say it.

He really didn't feel any special power fluctuations from this person in front of him.

"What exactly is this power?"

Calusa immediately replied, "This is the ability of the Death Crown priest of our Calusa tribe three generations ago. This ability is very special. The basic manifestation is healing."

"No matter what kind of injury, it can be healed extremely quickly."

"Then it is rebounding damage. Damage brought by others will be returned as it is."

"Besides that, everyone has different physiques and potential, and may lead to some other abilities, but the main ones are these two."

"Healing and rebounding."

"And... theoretically, this power will transfer autonomously when it encounters a suitable owner, and will solidify the new owner's ability as well."

New ability? Solidify?

Louis's eyes got brighter and brighter as he listened.

According to what he said.

Isn't this an ancestral ability that can continuously develop new abilities?

Inherit it to people with potential, acquire more diverse abilities, then deprive them, and continue to cycle...

Well, it's not that simple.

If it were really that simple, the Calusa tribe would have done it long ago, why bother sealing it up before this.

"What about the flaws?" Louis asked straightforwardly.

Calusa didn't hesitate either and said it out. "It's not a flaw, it's just that every transfer will lead to permanent consumption, and there are very few people with potential who can let the ability transfer autonomously. Since the birth of the ability, we have only encountered one."

"That was the time that made this ability have an extra rebound."

That is to say, at the beginning, this ability was only healing. Later, it happened to encounter a suitable person. After autonomous transfer, it developed an extra rebound.

As for why they didn't use it, it was because in the case of not encountering a suitable person, every inheritance was a permanent consumption, which would lead to a decrease in the number of times the ability could be inherited.

This makes sense.

But even so, this inheritance ability was special enough.

Didn't expect this Chief Calusa to be so willing.

In this way, the little reward he gave was a bit insufficient...

Perhaps, the attitude needs to be changed?

"What about the upper limit? Is there an upper limit?"

Louis pondered for a moment before asking again.

"In terms of the upper limit, we haven't tested it, but this ability is more effective for physical aspects. For special attacks, it..."

Louis nodded.

He looked at Calusa and smiled. "Calusa, you are my friend."

The smile on Calusa's face became brighter. The previous anger had completely disappeared. As long as he could gain this person's friendship, other things were not worth mentioning at all!

"Yes, friend, friend."

"Louis, this person?"

"Hmm, just catch him and transfer the ability."

Watching Louis and the others completely ignore them and talk to themselves for a long time, Kelly didn't have much anger in his heart at this time, but was a bit scared.

He wasn't stupid. He could see that these people in front of him were not right.

But he only had this ability now, and only this ability could help him take revenge. He couldn't give up this ability.

"Kelly! Run!"

Domi suddenly shouted and pounced on a soldier.

Kelly reacted and rushed backward.

However.

Bang!

Tang Mi, who had been watching him, came directly with a set of grappling.

Facing the well-trained Kano family soldiers, they obviously had no power to fight back.

Even if Kelly possessed healing, rebounding, and the curse ability derived from himself, it was the same.

Just seeing him grab a piece of cloth from Tang Mi's body and stuff it into his mouth, he was controlled by the soldiers who discovered his abnormality.

After a brief contact, these elites discovered that as long as they didn't hurt him and controlled him, his rebounding ability couldn't take effect.

And apart from the ability, Kelly was just an ordinary high school student. How could he have any means to break free from the shackles?

But at this time.

Kelly swallowed the cloth and bit his tongue hard.

"Ugh!!"

Tang Mi, who was controlling one of his hands, let out a muffled groan, couldn't help but loosen his grip slightly, but immediately tightened it again, and at the same time reacted extremely quickly, releasing one hand to pinch his mouth and control him.

Completely eliminating the possibility of him playing small tricks again.

And this scene also caught Louis's attention.

"Eh?"
