Dragon Raja: I started out as Erii's older brother

Ever since he learned how to write the word "annihilation," Su Mo's gaze towards Erii has completely changed.

The way she looked at him was no longer the same; it wasn't like she was looking at a younger sister anymore.

Instead, we are watching a walking, GPS-equipped, and emotion-sensing ball lightning nuclear weapon that could explode at any moment over a philosophical question like, "Is today's soy milk sweet or salty?"

When she plays games, her little hands tap the buttons very quickly.

Su Mo's heart pounded.

Please, bro, press slower.

Don't accidentally unleash a powerful attack that wipes out Australia.

While eating, she picked up a piece of tamagoyaki with her chopsticks, looked at it for a long time, wrinkled her little nose, didn't eat it, and put it down.

Su Mo broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

Great-aunt! My dear grandmother!

If it doesn't suit your taste, we'll change it! Don't hesitate!

You want to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow? I'll go get them for you right now! I'll even tie them up alive!

Please don't think that this tamagoyaki "doesn't deserve to exist in this world"!

Help!

He finally understood why the Snake-Headed Eight Family members looked at him like he was a sacrifice about to be offered to the gods.

He is not a bodyguard.

He is not a tranquilizer either.

He's like an emergency fuse.

Moreover, they are produced by unlicensed manufacturers, costing a large amount for just one yuan, and they break easily with a single snap, with no compensation provided if they break.

This life is so exciting!

Every day, I oscillate between "the world is ending" and "today is fine".

Su Mo felt that her already thinning hairline had receded by at least two centimeters in just a few days.

This oppressive life, peaceful yet filled with the constant threat of sudden death, was shattered on the third day.

That afternoon, Su Mo was in Erii's room watching her paint.

The paper door was violently pulled open with a "whoosh".

A young man, dressed in a well-tailored suit and with his hair slicked back so shiny that flies could do the splits on it, swaggered in.

He was followed by two equally arrogant servants.

The young man glanced around the room, his gaze lingering on Erii for three seconds, revealing a hint of greed and infatuation.

Then, his gaze fell on Su Mo, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, and his infatuation instantly turned into undisguised disgust and contempt.

It was as if I could see a cockroach polluting the temple.

"you."

The young man raised his chin and pointed his nostrils at Su Mo.

"Who gave you permission to stay in the same room as Lady Erii?"

Su Mo: ?

My stomach hurts.

Dude, who are you?

You come in without knocking and speak like you're spewing filth. Did your toilet teach you to be so polite?

"Throw him out."

The young man didn't even bother to look at Su Mo again, and directly gave orders to the servants behind him.

"There shouldn't be such a parasite with a diluted bloodline around Lady Erii, polluting the air here."

He spoke softly.

But all the maids in the room heard it.

They kept their heads down, eyes downcast, seemingly oblivious to everything around them, as if they hadn't heard or seen anything.

That tacit approval and taken-for-granted attitude is more hurtful than direct humiliation.

Su Mo's temper flared up instantly.

Parasite?

I fucking...

He was about to stand up and argue when reason firmly pressed his mouth shut.

[Hold on!!!]

You can't beat him!!!

Look at his small frame, one punch from him could knock out your lunch ten years from now!!!

Su Mo: ...

That's hilarious!

I've never felt so frustrated in my life.

The two servants walked towards Su Mo expressionlessly and reached out to grab his arm.

"etc."

Su Mo spoke.

He slowly stood up, dusted off his pants, and forced a professional fake smile.

"This...dog...oh no, this gentleman."

"My name is Uesugi Mo, Erii's older brother. I am here to accompany my younger sister on the orders of the head of the family. May I ask who you are?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "elder brother" and "patriarch".

The meaning is obvious.

I'm officially certified, who do you think you are?

The young man, who came from a collateral branch of the Tachibana family and was named Tachibana Masamune, heard this as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"elder brother?"

Tachibana Masamune chuckled and sized Su Mo up and down.

"A piece of trash who can't even awaken the power of words dares to call himself Erii-sama's older brother?"

"Stop patting yourself on the back. You're nothing more than a dog kept by the family, a blood bag with a modicum of use."

"Your only value is in comforting her. Nothing else."

"A dog should act like a dog. If its owner doesn't call it, it should stay in its own bed instead of getting in the way."

These words were extremely harsh.

Su Mo's fake smile froze.

He felt his blood pressure soaring at rocket launch speed.

His hands, which were placed at his sides, were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

Calm down! Calm down! Hitting someone is illegal! Although this world doesn't seem to have any laws!!!

If you beat him up, you'll definitely be sunk in Tokyo Bay!!!

[No, he might have killed him on the spot!!!]

[It doesn't matter if I die, but what about Erii? This human nuclear bomb is left unattended; what if she's in a bad mood...?]

The thought of the word "annihilation" made Su Mo swallow back the profanity that was rising in her throat.

He took a deep breath, then another.

Forget it.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.

You wait, when I become successful, I'll spit at your doorstep every day!

Seeing that Su Mo had backed down, Tachibana Masamune's smug expression grew even stronger.

He ignored the "parasite" and turned to Erii, his face instantly displaying what he thought was a very gentle smile.

"Lady Erii, it's been a long time. I am Tachibana Masamune, do you remember me?"

Erii kept her head down the whole time, focused on the game console in her hands, as if everything in the outside world was irrelevant to her.

Tachibana Masamune didn't seem to mind and continued, "I heard you've been really into this lately, so I specially went to Akihabara to get you the latest game cartridges, and some limited-edition figures..."

As he spoke, he took an exquisite gift box from the servant and intended to hand it to Erii.

However, his gaze fell on Erii's long, silky red hair.

As if possessed, he reached out his hand.

He thought, just gently, touch it.

Touch this perfect work of art, which belongs only to the gods.

"Don't touch her!!!"

Su Mo blurted it out almost without thinking.

At this moment, all rationality and restraint were thrown to the winds.

However, it was too late.

Just as Tachibana Masamune's fingertips were about to touch Erii's hair.

"Buzz—!"
