Chapter 228: New Way To Teach Him
Still no answer, he also pulled the hem of Gavriel’s clothes, "Uncle, please stop fighting with sister. If you don’t stop, I will tell Handsome Brother Xavier that you bully pretty sister..." he shouted to attract Gavriel’s attention.
This time, Justin’s success.
Iris and Gavriel exchanged confused looks upon witnessing Justin’s panicked expression.
Veins appeared on Gavriel’s forehead. He glared at him, "WHAT!?"
Gavriel was impatient to wait for Justin to grow naturally. He wanted to discipline this little imp not to act like a baby. He is already four years old now.
When Gavriel became agitated by Justin’s childishness, Iris found it amusing. She gently asked him, "What happened, Justin?"
Justin felt scared looking at Gavriel. He hid behind Iris while crying out loud, "Sis... Huaaa... Huaa... Uncle Justin scolded me. Please, please scold Uncle Gavriel for me..."
Gavriel and Iris were utterly speechless, watching Justin suddenly tear down. At first, they found it funny, but his loud cries made them think of using slippers to gag his mouth.
’Iris, I beg you... please do something to manipulate his mind!’ Gavriel urged Iris. ’It looks like this little imp needs to be thrown into the wilderness. Let the beast teach him how to be an independent and strong man!’
Gavriel sighed deeply, pinching his glabella with his fingers, growing increasingly frustrated with Justin.
Iris didn’t respond to Gavriel, but internally, she agreed with him—Justin indeed needed some intense training, similar to what she had received from Eric a few years back when she learned how to fight and become an assassin.
Eric had subjected her to survival in tropical forests, deserts, and even the coldest place on Earth, the North Pole. Even though that time felt distant, recalling it made her stomach churn. It makes her blood run cold.
However, she suffered severely at that time because she was a human. Unlike Justin, he wasn’t a human toddler but a millennia-old vampire. If they discipline and train him now, he can manage anything.
...
After manipulating Justin’s mind—a task she disliked for fear of further burying his memories—she looked at Gavriel with seriousness.
’Gavriel, I have to go. Please take care of him, but stop forcing him to recall his memories. That’s useless. You only need to focus on teaching him discipline and how to harness his power. His hidden memories might resurface if he regains the strength he once had.’
’Okay! Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him,’ Gavriel replied eagerly. Disciplining Justin was what he had been anticipating, although Iris had never favored the idea. She preferred teaching Justin gentleness.
It has been two months, but they have failed to trigger his memory and stop him from acting like a minor. A new method is needed.
’Thank you. Alright, I have to go now...’ Iris waved her hand, ready to depart. However, she halted when she heard Gavriel’s question.
’Do you have a plan to go somewhere? Why rush?’ Gavriel asked, noticing her haste.
’Hmm, I have to return to my house. I sense Xavier’s return,’ Iris answered, then turned her gaze to Justin.
"Justin, listen... Uncle Gavriel will teach you many things to help you grow faster. And I need you to listen to him..." She said, locking eyes with him, attempting to ask him to be obedient towards Gavriel — she influenced his mind.
The light finally appeared in Justin’s eyes upon hearing Iris’s words. "Yes, sister Iris, don’t worry... I’ll listen to Brother Gavriel. My goals now are to study hard and get stronger as fast as possible," he said thoughtfully, though his voice still carried a childlike tone.
Gavriel was impressed by how swiftly Justin’s attitude shifted. What surprised him even more was that the little imp finally addressed him as he wanted—brother. It made him happy.
’Tsk, Tsk... You should have done this earlier, Iris..." Gavriel remarked, smiling at Iris. However, she responded only with a chuckle.
She turned to Justin, gently punching his shoulder. "That’s the spirit I want to hear, Justin Darkwood. Alright, I need to go now. You start your lessons... Have fun." After seeing him nod, she waved to Gavriel and vanished.
...
When Iris appears in the backyard, she can feel Xavier’s aura more clearly.
’He indeed returns,’ she walks fast toward the house, and when she arrives at the living room. She was surprised to see Xavier with other people in the room; there were Niles and Killian.
She wasn’t surprised to see Niles because she saw him daily, but meeting Killian was rare. The last time she saw him was when they were still in Orion City.
Xavier smiled when she saw her enter the room. He gestured for her to join them. But she refused, afraid she bothered their conversation.
’You continue to chat, I will go upstairs,’ Iris said; she smiled at him and waved to Killian and Niles. She didn’t stay there and immediately returned to her room on the second floor.
Her cell phone rang before she wanted to rest on the soft bed. She was stunned to see Eric’s name appear on the screen.
Iris could only stare at the phone screen for a moment while scolding herself — she had forgotten entirely about Eric in the past few months — because she only texted him but never had a chance to visit him on the island.
After she took a deep breath, she finally picked up the phone, "Hai, Brother Eric—"
Iris can’t finish her words as Eric says, "I thought you forgot about me, little sister." An awkward laugh could be heard from the other end, making her feel even more terrible.
"Brother, I’m sorry I didn’t visit you in the last few months..." Iris starts to inform him about Justin’s injury.
"Justin was injured?" Eric was shocked.
"Yes, he was injured because of me. That’s why I feel bad to leave the house now. I try to help him in the healing process," She can’t entirely tell him what happened to Justin because Eric is still unaware of other creatures’ existences.
"Is he okay now? Can I go to visit him?" Eric asked.
Iris was stunned.
