My siblings carried on hurting my mother and now she was on a wheelchair and her eyes had become empty.
My father thinks that my mother has caught some kind of illness and that pisses me off.
One day, I was walking around the mansion and I heard my step mother talking with the butler of the house in the kitchen.
"Add this in his food daily from now on. It’s an Ego boosting medicine. He will be many times stronger than he is now." She said to the butler.
I peeked and the butler had a small black pill on his hands.
And at my step mother’s order, he put it inside my father’s soup.
My step mother then gave a full bottle of those black pills to the butler.
"Keep them safe. They are precious." She said.
The butler nodded and the step mother left.
Her words made me curious though. If that pill were an Ego boosting pill then I also wanted to eat. I wanted to boost my Ego so that I could fight.
I went to the kitchen and asked the butler to give me one pill as well.
And the butler gave me, I may be useless but for the butler, I was the son of his master.
He gave me one pill and he went away.
Some soup spilled on the ground and a rat came to eat it.
I found the rat cute so I watched it.
And as soon as the rat took one taste of the soup, he fell upside down. Dead.
I am stupid, but I am not that stupid to not know what happened.
The black pill was poison.
I didn’t eat that pill and kept it inside my pocket. I washed my hands and dashed towards the room of my father.
There, I saw my step mother feeding the soup to my father.
My father had already finished the soup and he was well.
Then I figured why she ordered the butler to put the pill on my father’s food daily.
My father was a strong man and just one pill won’t kill him. She was planning to kill my father slowly without raising any suspicions. And I, sure as hell, will not let that happen.
So I gathered courage and told my father that my step mother had put poison in his soup.
I also showed him the black pill and I also brought the dead mouse from the kitchen as proof.
But then…
"I always knew you hated me, son. But I didn’t know you would accuse me of such a thing. Darling, he hates me. He hates me."
My step mother started crying and my father turned angry.
"That was the height of insolence, Flashy. Apologize to her right now."
"No, darling. He is my son. I love him. A son doesn’t apologize to his mother. It’s just… I am so hurt. I will leave this house if he wants."
My step mother cried louder. She stuffed her face in my father’s chest and cried all the while.

"You don’t have to go anywhere, dear." My father said and glared at me.
"He will be getting out of this house."
"Wha-Wait. That butler. I still have one more piece of evidence."
I brought that butler in front of my father and asked him about the black pill.
And the butler said, "What black pill, young master?"
My eyes went wide. Why was he lying?
I looked at my step mother and she was looking at the butler.
Then I understood why the butler changed his statement.
I may be a young master, but my stepmother rules the house after my father. So of course, the butler lied.
I sent him away as there was nothing I could do.
My father stood up from his bed and came in front of me.
"How much will you disgrace me more? Why can’t you do something nice for once? It’s high time I get rid of you. Go out there and become a man. And you are going right now."
My father held the collar of my shirt, brought me to the balcony of the room and with all his strength, he threw me. I was banished from my house in an instant. I traveled by air.
I gave one last look to my father but my father had already gone inside the room.
However, instead of my father, my step mother stood in the balcony and she had a big smile.
Her lips moved and I read her lips to the best of my ability.
"Your whole family is foolish."
That’s what she said and before I knew it, I was already far away from my mansion.
That day I got to know how strong my father was.
His throw made me cross the whole Numb city and I crossed the border wall of the city and landed in the Desper slums.
I would have died if not for my strong legs. I used my jumping Ego so much that my legs had become as strong as diamonds.
Though I looked around and the first thing I did in Desper slums was… vomit.
It was very dirty. Blood and dead bodies were scattered around like pebbles. The scene made me sick.
I roamed around the area but I only did that for five minutes as I noticed a murder.
I hid myself under the garbage as I had never seen a murder and I had no interest in seeing one and becoming a part of it.
I stayed in the garbage for two days then I became hungry.
I looked for food and I figured I won’t get any food.
There were huts all around and all the people there already had very little food. They wouldn’t share it with me. And it was not like I had the guts to ask for food anyway.
So I searched for food inside the dustbins and I didn’t find anything. So I remained hungry.
And like that… Five days went by.
