I myself am enjoying how this story goes. Author should stick to his story ideas and only take constructive criticism in the form of writing structure and grammar. It is the wordsmith's tale he is spinning, not ours. We the readers may only react and not attempt to muddy the story with our hands.
I thought he had learnt his lessons. His brother called the church on him man. That's as good as getting IRS on your back. Not killing him is a completely foolish thing. And as an ex-soldier, I expected better from him. Create more and better enemies for him man, stop with this scheming little brother. I love this story but this one aspect is frustrating.
Honestly, just one step closer to dropping the novel. I have recently read two novels that insist on a pointless and never ending battle between two brothers for the sake of 'plot and future development' but its just annoying. The fact that this f*king idiot is somehow still part of the novel amazes me because he apparently has more plot armor than the MC. Just not entertaining.
