It was late afternoon when the airplane landed at the main island's airport. Iris was watching her younger brother Victor with astonishment. He was already awake and was sitting on his seat with his maid, who was feeding him grapes by her hand.

She has heard about debaucherous young masters, but she would have never imagined, not even in her wild fantasies, that her brother was one of them. Her father has told her about Lily. He said that she was Victor’s personal maid. And he seems to be interested in her too.

What the f*ck? What kind of family do I have? She wondered.

The airplane door opened as Theodore entered the cabin. He had changed his casual clothes into something more formal, as he was going to meet the patriarch.

“Let’s go.” He said, making Iris stand up slowly and adjust her dress. This was given to her by Luna. She has never worn something this fancy before and was nervous about damaging it.

Victor stood up too, with Lily. He headed to the door and then went down the boarding stairs after Theodore. Then headed out of the airport.

“Wow,” Iris was astonished after leaving the airport as she saw the towering Island and the many high-rise buildings dotting its terrain.

“Is this Island really only for our family?” She asked as she looked around.

“Yes,” Theodore replied, “Managing our international assets requires a lot of manpower, so there are more servants than family members here.” He said as he turned to meet two men who were entering the airport, one old and the other about Victor’s age.

“Patrick, Are you here to congratulate me on finding my lost daughter?” Theodore asked, then looked at the young man. “Oh, Ron, where did they decide to ship you to?” He asked making Ron gush his teeth, in anger.

“Ron was sent to NewLure City. He will be supervising the family business there. I am here to send him off,” Patrick said while putting his hand on his son’s shoulders pushing him to bow.

His position in the family has become much lower than Theodore, and Victor who was busy picking his nose.

“Ah, cousin Ron. Is that you? I didn’t know you without your nose pointing to the sky,” Victor said to Ron as he threw something at him, then turned to Patrick and bowed slightly,

“Uncle Patrick, this young one is pleased to see you again,” Victor said with a smirk making Patrick wish to kick his ass. Can’t you just move on, do you have to make fun of Ron?

“Let’s go.” Said Theodore, guiding his son out of the airport under Ron’s envious eyes.

“You have to work well, maybe one day you could have a higher position in the family,” Patrick told his son as he dragged him into the airport,

Ron nodded and just as he entered the runway kicked a puddle on the ground in anger. It just so happened to hit a young woman who had just descended from a small private plane.

Her golden hair looked astonishing, but she was dressed in rags and had a cloth bag on her back.

“Hey, What are you doing?” She yelled at Ron in a strange accent. Making Him get angry, he could barely hold himself when Victor made fun of him because of the difference in ranks. But now even this servant slut dares yell at him.

He used all his half-player power to kick another paddle toward the girl, but it never landed on her, as a white-haired old man in butler uniform grabbed it and hurled it back at Ron at the speed of a bullet.

Thankfully Patrick quickly grabbed it with his hand and saved his son.

“How dare you attack my son? Do you…….. Uncle Falcon?” Patrick was scared and he quickly bowed down in respect as he kicked his son’s leg making him kneel on the ground.

“This young one’s son has made a mistake and we hope that he can be spared,” Patrick said respectfully as sweat dropped from his brows.

Falcon said nothing, he just looked at the girl who nodded then walked past Patrick and spat on the astonished Ron as she moved beside him. Then continuing on her way.

“Sorry Patrick, this girl is missing some manners. But it was your son’s fault.” Falcon said as he put his hand on Ron’s shoulder, sending his face into the ground.

“Consider this his punishment for offending Miss. Zoe.” Falcon added as he continued his path toward the car stop.

…

Victor was astonished, he had just separated from his father who took a car and was going to see the patriarch. As for him, he has to wait a few minutes for the car that Kai has arranged for him.

After getting into the limousine, he saw the old man and the girl approach the car.

“Is this car going to the patriarch's hall?” Falcon asked the driver who was a little embarrassed,

“This car was prepared for young master Victor, we…..” The driver said.

“It’s ok, let them in. This car is big enough, and we can make a detour.” Victor said to the driver as he bowed his head respectfully to the old butler, Lily did too.

“Yes, young master.” The driver said as he quickly went down and opened the door for the old man and the girl, who quickly entered the car and began to look around in astonishment as if she had never seen such a luxurious car before.

“You know this old man?” Falcon asked Victor with a little surprise, as far as he knows very few of the young generation know about him.

“Of, uncle Falcon, The old patriarch's personal servant, is someone every young heir should know about. Your accomplishments are legendary” Victor said respectfully, making Falcon smile and nod as he looked at the purple jade token around Victor’s neck. This young man was good. Really fit to be an elite disciple.

Victor knew those two. He never met the old man before, he only read about him. He was the old patriarch's butler, who was sent secretly to protect his youngest daughter, Ann's sister when she ran away from home with a young man a long time ago. That woman died in childbirth about 50 years ago.

And the girl here was his great cousin, the granddaughter of that woman. She was raised in the mountains, and now that she has become an adult, Falcon revealed himself to her and then brought her here to try her luck with the ceremony. He read all about her in the burned archives of the family.

In his past life, he only met her once, and that was very late. He was working at the Royal Library at that time. She was there to inquire about a few things, and he helped her out. She had the looks of a woman in her thirties while he was an old shivering man back then.

She never knew his identity and chose to remain silent to protect her, and himself. She had many enemies and was known as manhood destroying Zoe at that time. No one knew why she was called that, but she was a really mean, ruthless, and strong woman. She probably got betrayed by someone that made her character a little twisted. unlike the naive blushing mountain girl in front of him.

A Scion? He never knew that. She hid very well. And what’s wrong with her bloodline? 3 Bloodlines? Really? No matter what, this one should be made an ally.

“I am Victor Von Weise, May I inquire about this beautiful lady’s name?” Victor asked politely, making Falcon’s eye twitch. Victor? That pervert, he might have been lining in the mountains, but he had heard about him, and he has to make things clear, or this pervert would put his hands on little Zoe.

“Ahm, This is Zoe Bolt, she is your cousin,” Falcon said clearing things out, while Zoe blushed, she has never been called beautiful before.

“Ah, Nice to meet you cousin Zoe, the ceremony was a few days ago. I didn’t see you there.” Victor asked as he smiled brightly, making Zoe lower her head in shyness.

“Yes, we had some trouble on the road. But the patriarch approved a late ceremony for her. It will happen tomorrow morning.” Falcon said with a sigh as he glared at the little embarrassed Zoe, who was the cause of the delay as she insisted on taking revenge on some gangs in the mountain village she lived in, making them miss the appointment.

"Ahh, so that’s it." Victor thought, he was wondering why did his grandmother approve of giving Iris a chance at the awakening despite missing the date. Activating that Orb costs a lot of GEMs.

The ceremony was conducted for Zoe and not Iris. It was to give Falcon face probably. This guy is very strong and held an honorary elder position in the family.

“So you will be attempting the ceremony with my big sister! I hope that both of you succeed.” Victor said with a dashing smile that made Zoe blush more.

He began to ask her about her life in the mountains without forgetting to compliment her every now and then. Making her laugh as he joked around.

“What a smooth talker,” thought Falcon, who regretted taking the car with this guy. She is your fucking cousin. Although the family wouldn’t mind such a relationship, He would. Zoe was like his granddaughter. You already have a pretty girl who is getting a little jealous at your side.

Wait? He suddenly stopped and looked at the Veiled Lily, who was sitting silently beside Victor.

Why does this girl look familiar? I should have never seen her before as I never set foot on the Island for the past 30 years? Strange.

He didn’t get a chance to observe Lily anymore as the car slowly stopped at the Patriarchs hall.

“Nice to meet you, Victor. I hope we meet again.” Zoe said with a bashful tone before dashing out of the car followed by Falcon, who shot Victor a glare before leaving.

“Let’s go inside.” Falcon said as adjusted his cloth.

Zoe, whose eyes were following Victor's car, which hurried up the mountain, nodded and then turned to look at the hall.

“Ah, yes.” She said while wondering why does that cousin look so good. He is much more handsome than her childhood friend who left the village one year ago.
