Chapter 322 : Demon?

Chapter 322 : Demon?

Tiara silently sneaked behind the courtyard and found the peeping hole she used when she was a kid with the others.

When she peeked through it, she saw that Axel was collapsed on the ground. Her master was helping that man carry him as they walked out of the hall with the old man. They headed toward the master’s room through the back to avoid anyone seeing them.

Tiara quickly followed silently. She was curios what was going on!

She waited until they entered and then sneaked behind one of the old wooden windows. Although it was shut tight, it had many tiny cracks that if you position your eye just right, you would barely be able to make out what was happening inside.

Inside, her master threw Axel on the bed before the man slowly approached him and put a pill in his mouth.

“Will it work?” the master asked.

“Definitely! His compatibility is almost 89%” the man said.

Tiara watched as slowly Axel began to move as if he was in pain and then scream in anguish as slowly, his face which had many scars from an old fire when he was a child began to heal at a visible rate, and so was his hands full of signs of a tough childhood!

In mere minutes he was completely healed! And he was fucking handsome with long flowing purple hair!

Was this the same Axel? She wondered.

“Ahhh… DON’T KILL ME! PLEASE STOP!” Axel screamed as he woke up and sat up abruptly and began to look around. “What… Where?” he asked in a fearful voice.

“Calm down!” his master scolded.

“Master? You are alive?” he asked in shock, looking at her warily. “Or am I in hell?” he asked.

“Shush! Do you want me to die that much?” She scolded. “This is Master Olaf….”

“YOUNG MASTER!” the old man quickly got on one knee in front of Axel as tears began to fall from his eyes.

“What? What’s going on here?”” Axel asked, not fully understanding what was happening. He was a little stunned by the old man’s behavior.

“Young master Victor… we finally found you!” the old man clarified.

“What? My name is Axel, not Victor…” he said. “Master… IS this a dream? What’s going on in here? Where did you find this crazy man?” he asked.

“Be polite!” the master scolded.

“Young master…. Your real name is Victor! 18 years ago. There was an accident in the family. You were kidnapped and replaced by an imposter! I was tasked by the family to find you!” the man said as he took a folder and presented it to Axel .

“What? A DNA test?” Axel asked as he leafed through the folder, it was a DNA test report. Although he was a little disoriented and couldn’t fully comprehend it, he could easily spot the red MATCH word in the end.

“Yes… It clearly says that you are the son of Theodore Von Weise. One of the high elders of the family!”

“What?” Axel was a little stunned as he read the report. It looked genuine. “What if this is a fake?” he asked. He was not a fool… that’s what he told himself.

“AXEL! Be Polite” the master scolded. “Master Olaf does not need to scam you! He is the head butler of the Von Weise family. One of the richest and most powerful families in the world!” she explained. “They are your real family! You are the lost heir! Last week when I took some of your blood, it was to do this DNA analysis!”

“Von Weise? Really?” Axel asked, unbelieving. He needed a few minutes to collect his thoughts.

“Yes… The Von Weise!” Olaf said and just waited, allowing Axel to think thing through.

“What date is it today?” Axel suddenly asked.

“It is the end of the seventh month,” Olaf said. was the shock earlier too much for this guy?

“The year?”

“4723…” Olaf replied frowning as he watched Axel open his eyes wide then squint them.

“What?”

“So I have been missing for 18 years… Since 4705… What took you so long to find me?” He turned to Olaf and asked finally. This was too sudden for him. And he was a little skeptical as this had never happened to him before.

“We had no idea that you were missing…” Olaf said with an embarrassed voice. “The kidnappers replaced you with a fake, intending to ruin our family’s bloodline. They had been doing this for the last decade, so when one similar fake like you was discovered a month ago, the family launched an investigation, retesting all of their descendants’ DNA!” he explained, mixing truth with lies.

“Ahhh…. Then why didn’t the kidnapper just kill me? And what is good for replacing babies?”

“They can’t kill you… The family has a way to know if one of their heirs was killed!” Olaf explained. “And…. Well, this would be hard to believe, but our family’s bloodline has superpowers!” he added.

“Eh?” Axel looked at the man as if he was crazy.

“Look in the mirror!” the master said with a sigh.

Axel frowned then looked at the mirror at the side.

“WAAA…” He yelped. This was not what he expected. Something was very strange.

The ugly scars that filled his face from when he was a child were long gone and in their place was a handsome face. His black hair had turned purplish gray, giving him a mysterious look. He looked dashing!

“I gave you one of the family’s healing pills… Those bastards who kidnapped you burnt your face when you were a baby so that you would not be recognized!”

“This is true?” Axel asked himself as he touched his smooth face and inspected it in the mirror… “Wait…Why does my face look like that guy’s…. The one who married 8 wives…The one who married my Mira?”

“Because that pervert is the imposter who took your place!”

“What?”

“Yes!”

“This makes sense….” he said to himself. “You didn’t do anything against him?”

“No… We didn’t want to startle the snake behind him… We have Info that he is working with some of the family enemies, so the family council decided to do a silent replacement and use you against them!… For the next three months, you will undergo intensive training so that you will be able to take your rightful position unnoticed!”

“What if I refused?” he asked, squinting his eyes.

“You are free to do so….” Olaf sighed. “It would be a waste to leave that imposter with the millions he got from the family though… and those 8 pretty wives who would suffer under him. Most of those girls are slaves you see, they can’t do a thing against him… The family will not approach him before finding out who are the guys behind him!” he added with remorse.

“Oh…”

“Young master… If you can’t handle such responsibility, and prefer to live a hermit life in this faraway poor sect, I would understand that. Some men are not up to the challenge… I have a memory eraser pill here that will make you forget about me… And I will have to burn your face again…” Olaf said, flicking his fingers and making a fireball appear out of thin air. Tiara, who was watching from outside, had to cover her mouth with her hands in order not to make a voice.

“NO… Just a question though first… How rich is my family?” Axel asked… He was already in when he said ‘MY’

“Rich? That word can’t describe what the family has… For example, your big brother Max, who is just a normal heir, already owns an entire city!” Olaf said with a smile. “Your cousin raped a princess in public and guess what happened. Her father sent her to work as a maid in Morris’s mansion!”

“Oh…”

“You are better than them! You are an elite heir who can move armies at will! Someone helped the imposter to achieve that to use the family power through him, and this will be all yours if you want!”

“I am in…” Axel frowned a little and said. This was a little unbelievable, just like the web novels he read. But whether this was a trick or the truth, he was in for the power, money, revenge, and most importantly, the girls!

“Good!” Olaf said with a bright smile. “You will be part of a secret team that the family elders are assembling to clear out all the traitors! We will rebuild the family together!” he added.

Axel was part of a grand operation that started 18 years ago. The dark chamber infiltrated the family ancestral hall, the hall responsible for keeping track of the heir’s random offspring.

Instead of reporting those to the family, the agents began to find those who were born to prostitutes and couldn’t be tracked then tested them.

Those with good bloodlines would be sent to random facilities around the world to be raised, while others with weak bloodlines were harvested…

The project was put on hold a few years ago as the Von Weise family began to crack without the Dark Chamber’s interference. They didn’t want to help their enemies!

Now, with Axel, there was a huge opportunity to grab a big piece of the pie if the family fell. Victor might be able to survive the fall after all, as a chess piece belonging to the Von Geldstadt or the Von Rosen family!

Now this piece was theirs!

…

“NOW, This is what I call an upgrade!” Victor smiled as all around him the strange darkness began to dissipate slowly, making him realize that he was in his soul space and this was his soul body as he expected.

What was that just now?

He had no idea.

Did all of those who awaken their bloodline undergo such a thing? No one said a thing!

He carefully inspected himself.

HOLY SH*T!

HE FUCKING HAD A DEMON BLOODLINE! Is that even possible? What the fuck did his whoring grandmother fuck?

WAIT… Wasn’t his first bloodline an Emperor Dragon? When did it become a Chaos Dragon?

No wonder he got to do that Devour skill! His freakin’ bloodline had upgraded into an X rank! How the hell did this happen?

Usually, it would be a very impossible question, but he had now the super-class AKASHIC SCHOLAR. Although he could use its skills only a limited number of times every day, he was ok with this. He couldn’t wait to try it!

He quickly used his skill RECORD SEARCH to ask the question of how the hell was his bloodline upgraded to a CHAOS DRAGON.

10 ORDER POINTS ARE REQUIRED!

He still had to pay? Well, it was much less than in the book, and nothing was really free in life.

He quickly paid.

CHAOS DRAGON

THE UPGRADE HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE REMNANT CELESTIAL CROW SALIVA AND THE EXCESS ENERGY FROM THE AWAKENING AFFECTED THE BLOOD PARTICLES CAUSING A FEW DROPS OF THE COMPATIBLE EMPEROR BLOOD AND THE ROYAL CROW TO FUSE AND THEN CROSS INTO YOUR BODY WITH THE PURE YIN AND FORCIBLY UPGRADE THE REST OF YOUR BLOODLINE.

FURTHER DETAIL COST 17441 ORDER POINTS.

Oh… He didn’t expect that…. Was the ancestral skill activation related to that?

COST 5 ORDER POINTS

He paid. He needed to go raid some dungeon very soon to replenish his order points.

UPON THE ACTIVATION OF AN X-RANKED BLOODLINE, IT WOULD CAUSE THE CAUSALITY TO BE WRAPPED IN THE WORLD, AND A CHANCE TO ACTIVATE ONE SKILL IS GRANTED.

Oh… It was what he expected.

“Now… What about the Ouroboros infinity sign?” He asked to activate his Record Search skill again. He knew that it was related to the Book of time, but what did it mean?

1000 ORDER POINTS ARE REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE RECORDS… FAILED.

Shit… Victor cursed, then tried again at the Ψ sign.

10 ORDER POINTS ARE REQUIRED.

Cheap!

Victor quickly paid the price and the results appeared on the screen in front of him. It slowly caused his smiling face to change as he read.

This was not a fork sign, but a crow’s talon!

And…

DAMN IT LILY! IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!
