I Am Genie-Chapter 30: Fantastic, My Son is a Trash!

The matter of Leo losing half his lifespan, while not yet verified, Raphael already felt about ninety percent sure. Otherwise, there was no explaining how a six-year-old kid could awaken. Something that went against the rules like this, not dying was already considered lucky.

’Astrid, it’s not my fault, you know. How was I to know this brat would take such a reckless gamble. The key point is he actually succeeded, that’s what’s so outrageous. Damn it, this kid never lets me rest easy.’

Raphael sighed inwardly, that damn guilty feeling kept hovering in his heart. Even though he understood logically it wasn’t his fault, the feeling still wouldn’t go away.

As for Leo, he felt that aside from being really good at finding ways to die, everything else was fine. A kid not even three years old knowing how to do everything by himself except finding food, you really couldn’t find that in any other household.

Manners Leo had... but it was towards the villagers, not Raphael. The reason was just a conflict of purpose for existing, Raphael only wanted to keep his promise to Astrid while Leo was determined to follow his ideals. Of course, it wasn’t because the villagers supported him, but because the villagers never cared enough to get in his way and bother him.

Besides, it wasn’t that Leo was incapable of finding food himself. He didn’t go looking for food because the big game Raphael hunted was much better. Leo himself, at best, could only catch a few fish from the river. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have enough energy to constantly train himself.

Leo’s form now stopped changing further, the light around him also quickly withdrew into his body, revealing a completely new appearance.

A chubby panda, wearing a leaf hat on its head, no shirt, just wearing a pair of pants with a large patch on the butt.

’What the hell? It really is a mini version of Eat God. Aside from the body size and missing the bamboo staff, there’s no difference.’

Right after transforming, Leo looked all over his body and carefully felt out the mobility of his current form.

’Weird, strength increased very little but the defensive capability feels like it increased quite a lot. Probably because a panda’s endurance is better than a human’s. So, what should I say I made a contract with? Giant Panda? No, calling this form that is a bit much. Let’s call it Big Panda.’

A flexible mind really is a big advantage. In less than a minute, he had thought of how to respond if anyone asked about his ability. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

???

Both Raphael and Michael stared wide-eyed at the chubby, ball-like thing before them. For a moment, they didn’t know what to say.

Leo, who wasn’t even as chubby as before, had suddenly become even fatter than before, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Moreover, he didn’t look dangerous at all, those sparkling eyes, that dopey face... To put it nicely, it was cute, to put it bluntly, it was mentally deficient.

In his capacity as the only expert present, Raphael carefully evaluated Leo from head to toe. He reached out and squeezed Leo’s arm, squeezing it back and forth a bit, his expression growing even more bizarre.

"This soft, can it really fight? This body does have some weight, but it might work against ordinary people. How is it supposed to fight contractors?" Raphael asked, the curve of his mouth impossible to hide.

The animal Leo contracted with was too f*cking trash. But good, trash is very good. Low talent, and on top of that, a harmless animal type? Then damn, don’t even think about escaping Raphael in this lifetime.

The corner of Leo’s eye twitched several times. This demeanor of Raphael’s clearly meant he was having wicked thoughts about him.

"I contracted with a Big Panda. Don’t look down on me, even if it’s just one star, so what? As long as I reach a high enough level, I will definitely be as strong as anyone."

Leo acted like a child who hadn’t experienced the world, arrogant and unwilling to accept reality. Like an idiot who thinks doing push-ups will give him planet-shattering punching power.

It must be said he acted very well, Michael’s face also twitched because of his statement. As for Raphael, no need to say, the old man was so happy he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, truly worthy of being my son. Awakening is quite something. Contracting with such a harmless creature, now I can rest easy."

His mouth said he was very happy, but in his heart, there was also a bit of regret. A proud person like him naturally wanted his son to have high talent too. Of course, it was just a bit of vanity, completely not worth mentioning compared to the promise from years ago.

In all these years, Raphael had never felt as at ease as he did today. Finally, Leo truly had no strength left to cause any storms. Moreover, it wasn’t because Raphael forced it, but because it was heaven’s will, so no one could blame him.

Suddenly a bad premonition appeared in his heart. The image of his damn old man and Leo inexplicably merged into one in his thoughts.

’Damn it, absolutely cannot let that old man meet Leo. If they meet, he will definitely take this kid with him. This brat and that old man are absolutely like-minded, they’d become kindred spirits at first meeting. No, I have to increase my vigilance. As soon as I sense old man Gabriel’s aura, I’m immediately grabbing Leo and running away.’

Raphael’s strength was among the top on the continent, but no matter what, his father could be said to have touched the limits of humanity. In a short time, he could manage a draw, but the energy reserves in his body were no match for Gabriel’s.

Poor Michael, even after living together for three years, he didn’t occupy a single spot in Raphael’s mind. Him taking Leo and running away meant abandoning Michael, leaving him as a gift for Gabriel.

Michael suddenly sneezed, his expression utterly bewildered. After three years in this world, clearly very healthy, why would he suddenly sneeze?

’Strange, why does this sneeze come with a bad feeling? Is there someone with ill intentions towards me? Probably not, I haven’t met that many people in this world, where would enemies come from?’

Leo felt this thought wasn’t wrong, so he tossed aside that ominous feeling from earlier.
