When Victor entered the dining room, the meal had already started. It seems the maid has delayed informing him and Lara on purpose.

His father was leisurely sitting at the head of the table with George standing behind him.

On the left side, His stepmothers were seated in order with their younger sons Luke and John who were staring daggers at Victor.

Lara who was pouting seemed to have found her place near his mother. Someone has probably scolded her for being late. His mother, Elena, looked at him entering the dining room with a smile. Her face was much more relaxed than the last time he saw her.

On the other side of the table, The first seat was occupied by Falcon who seemed to have chosen to be a guest at Theodore’s house after meeting him yesterday at the main hall.

The Second seat was empty, it was reserved for Victor, as the seats were ordered by the family’s ranks.

His brother Rex was seated on the next seat with his girlfriend by his side. The mark of Lily’s slaps was not visible on her cheeks anymore. They were covered by the trace of three new slaps. She must have offended someone else.

After that, the nervous Iris was sitting next to Zoe who was looking around at the table. They never had such diverse kinds of foods where she came from. She wouldn’t even consider some of them food. But they looked delicious.

“Sorry I am late, I had to educate a naughty maid,” Victor said casually as he entered the room then smiled at his mother and the girls.

“It was him, husband, him, and that bitch. They hit me.” Rex’s girlfriend yelled suddenly as she pointed at Victor and Lily.

Theodore only frowned and looked at Rex, who quickly pulled his girlfriend then whispered something in her ear making her shrink her neck and shut up. Rex knew his girlfriend well, she must have tried to boss his half brother around and got what she deserved.

As her husband, no matter what she did, he felt responsible to take revenge for her. But Victor’s position in the family far outstrips his. So he could do nothing directly. Maybe he would take revenge on Lara when he guides her later.

Victor quickly found his seat and sat down, as Lily stood behind him respectfully helping him get seated. Victor wanted her to sit with him but this was still not the right time.

“How dare you be late? You should apologize sincerely and greet us before sitting at the table.” His First mother scolded him as she pointed at him. He didn’t reply, just gave his dish to Lily who proceeded to fill it up.

His action made Marta angry. “How dare you Ignore me like that?” she asked. “Husband, say something,” she said as she turned to Theodore who had just finished chewing a piece of toast. But before he could say something, Victor beat him to it.

“You are the one who should greet me. I am now an elite heir. How dare you stay seated when I entered the room? Don’t you know that I can flog you for that? If it were not for my esteemed father's presence I would have punished you.” Victor said proudly, before taking a deep breath and adding “Not only did you not appreciate my kindness, you also want this young master to apologize? I already said sorry? What do you want me to do more than that? crawl under your feet? Who do you think you are?” Victor said, spraying saliva at his mother’s face and dish as he shouted, making his brothers frown. Especially Rex, whose mother was being scolded.

Lily quickly used a handkerchief to wipe her young master’s mouth as Theodore chuckled.

“He is right Marta, it’s your fault this time,” Theodore said with a sigh,

Yesterday he heard from the patriarch that his mother, Ann, had approved of giving Aria to Victor, which made him very relieved, and somewhat pleased. His rebellious son who hid deeply before was showing his true color. Not bad at all. On the other hand, his wives need some education every now and then, or they would think that they own the entire world. It would be better if Marta was put in her place before Luna gets here.

Marta gritted her teeth and then chose to ignore Victor completely. As for Elena, she was astonished by her son’s temper. “Is this really my son! When did he grow a pair of balls? And is that quiet girl the maid Lily who talks to me all the time?“ she wondered.

Luke and John frowned, not knowing how to act. They just looked at Victor and then inspected Lily, who was still wearing her veil. She had pretty eyes. Too bad they couldn’t see her face clearly. Maybe they should find a chance later to punish her.

Theodore noticed the perverted look in his son's eyes but said nothing. Living with pretty maids without touching them was part of the family’s training. It helps with both discipline and apparently bloodline awakening.

Thankfully Lily wore a veil, A dose of her breathtaking beauty was not something that those two virgin boys of his can handle, They would probably lose their minds and virginity the moment they see her.

Iris and Zoe smiled a little at Victor, and inspected Lily silently but said nothing. Zoe really liked how Victor yelled at that nasty woman, she wanted to do the same when the little girl, Lara, was being scolded but Falcon’s stern eyes warned her not to. “He is so manly.” she thought.

“Let’s continue our meal,” Theodore said after a little cough then ate another bite of his jam-covered toast before slowly turning to Lara who was having difficulty hiding her smile after Victor scolded the first mother.

“How is your proficiency with the family art, Lara?” Theodore asked,

“Ah…..It’s…. It is getting better.” She said after remembering what her big brother told her.

“Good. You must work hard, your ceremony is nearing,” He said, then turned to his other two sons, “The same goes for both of you, you should be ready next year. I expect you to do the same as Victor and surprise us all.” He said.

“Don’t worry father, I will guide them well,” Rex said, as he looked at Lara with a knowing smile.

“Yes, you did well with Lara. Too bad your potential was not that great.” Theodore said. The more player sons he had the better his position in the family.

“Father, about Susu, can I marry her?” Rex took the chance to ask.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

“Mmm.” Theodore pondered as he looked at her. He really didn’t like this chick.

“Are you sure she is fit for you? Accepting her as a concubine wouldn’t be a problem.” Theodore asked with a pondering look wondering why did Rex choose such a woman, Victor also did the same. This slut was not anything special.

“Ah, She must be my main wife. I fell in love with her at first sight.” Rex said with a fascinated look in his eyes, making Victor want to puke. Then stop, and activate his inspection skill on both of them.

“Ahh…..” Victor was speechless. He had just figured many things out. First of all, this bitch was the one his big brother stole from Rex, Mike has a thing for bitches and prostitutes. Secondly, she must have put some kind of a love spell on Rex. Probably bought a genuine talisman from some idiotic hidden expert peddler by chance. Stuff like this happens when fate intervenes.

“Better stay out of this mess.” He thought as Lily stuffed an egg in his mouth when she saw him inspecting Susu so intensely. Pervert young master.

Theodore looked at Rex and his girlfriend for a while, then sighed. He really didn’t like this woman and couldn’t understand why Rex wanted her as the main wife.

“You live in Tiara City , right? It's near Newlure, I will tell Mike to look into her. If he finds nothing wrong, I will approve.” Theodore said, making Rex smile while holding Susu’s hand under the table. He was really happy. She wasn’t. She has just realized that her stupid boyfriend was not that powerful and that there are people with higher ranks in his family. Maybe she could seduce one of his brothers? But not that Victor, she was not into rough guys.

“Now, to the main business.” Theodore said, “Iris, Zoe. Both of you must be ready by noon, we will take the boat to the main Island for your ceremony.” he explained.

“Can’t we take the helicopter, like yesterday?” Zoe asked while Iris got a little nervous.

“No, it is a part of the tradition to go there by boat. In olden times they used to sail there by wooden boats.” He said while reminiscing, about his ceremony. But Victor noticed something else in his father’s eyes? Love? Regret? Yearning? There is a story there.

“Ah, And Victor you will come too. Not many elders are present and as an elite, you can help us.” His father said, not explaining further because not everyone here was a player.

They wanted him to help them by channeling his energy into the Orb. Activating that thing takes a lot of stamina in addition to a mountain of GEMs.

“I understand, will there be other participants?” Victor asked.

“Yes, the ceremony for 1 to 10 participants would cost the same, so there would be 8 others, mostly servants, as any suitable candidate had already attended with you,” Theodore said. Making Victor consider whether to take Lily’s sisters. “Better not,” he thought, he didn’t want any of them to die. And if by any chance they all succeeded wouldn’t they take them away from him?

He would be better off sending them dungeon diving with his other maids later. Although undiscovered dungeons are rare, he remembers the news about a couple. He would have to check them though, as he was not sure of the authenticity of such information. Whatever, fixing Lara’s blood is what he wants to focus on now.

“Father, I was wondering if you can allow Lara to spend a few days with me in Vein city. She has never seen the outside world and it is not good for her to stay cooped up here.” Victor asked. He needs to enhance her blood and teach her a few more things. The earlier the better.

“Hmm. That would disturb her training.” Rex interjected.

Theodore hesitated. Lara was home schooled because she had a weak constitution, but after training in the arts for the last two years her body seemed to have gotten a little better. It’s not bad for her to go out and see the world.

“How about I take her with me to stay with Victor for a few days there next month. I need to do something there anyway.” Elena said with a complex look that only Victor understood.

“Fine by me. But Victor. You will have to supervise Lara’s training there instead.” Theodore said. While wondering if he should introduce Elena to Luna. Luna would probably have to come here if her baby had a pure bloodline, and meeting one of her ‘sisters’ beforehand is not a bad idea.

Lara smiled sweetly after hearing her father’s approval. Yay, she is going to stay with her brother.

After that, Theodore proceeded to ask John and Luke about their education and then talk with Falcon about the trivial things he was doing in the mountains while monitoring Zoe.

Iris and Zoe seemed to have hit it off. They kept talking together despite the age difference. Iris was three years older.

“Uncle Falcon, I want to stay with Iris after the Ceremony.” Zoe suddenly requested,

“That will have to depend on your results, and it’s the family's decision after that,” Falcon said as he looked at Victor, while silently swearing that he would make sure that she didn't get anywhere near this pervert.

Theodore chuckled as he saw the way Zoe looked at his son, that’s how a Von Weise should be.

After breakfast, Victor was dragged to a side room where his mother made him sit on a couch next to her after hugging him hard. Then she began to question him about his living conditions in Vein city.

“Ah, didn’t Lily tell you everything?” Victor asked.

“She only tells me that you are ok, or that you found a new girl. Nothing else.” His mother puffed her cheeks and inspected her son, when did he become a pervert? Were the rumors true? Impossible, she raised him herself.

“Well it is as Lily told you, I just spend all day lazing around or visiting the company to find new girls.” He lied, he couldn't tell his mother that he spent the last week doing dungeon diving and corrupting innocent girls.

“Ahh. You are just like your father, just make sure to choose nice girls, not like those your father likes.” Elena snorted as she thought of her husband's other wives.

“Don’t worry. I chose Lily to be my main wife.” He said, making his mother turn to look at Lily who was silently standing to the side.

“Come here Lily, let your mother-in-law see your face,” Elena said as she looked at the blushing Lily who removed her veil after Victor nodded to her.

“Whaaaa.” Elena gasped when she looked at her face. Can a girl be this pretty?

She quickly began to inspect Lily thoroughly, she really liked this girl. She is very gentle, sensible, and well-educated. She could tell from the way she spoke to her on the phone.

“Not bad,” she said, then looked at Victor. “You have to take good care of her.” She added, making Lily blush more. “If he bullied you just tell me. I will punish him for you.”

“Don’t worry about her. You better worry about yourself. Father has a new wife candidate. She might be granted the main wife position,” he said, making his mother squint her eyes.

“Really?” She asked.

“Yup. If you come to Vein city you can meet her. I think she is really nice. She helped me a lot,” he said, in his previous life, Luna’s relationship with his mother was a little strained. Probably because of the other wives plotting. So Victor wants to make them friends as fast as possible.

“I will see about that,” Elena said with a sigh.

“Now come on, we have some time before noon. Tell me what you did this past week.” She asked, Making Victor begin to tell her all about his new company and new maids. Confirming her conclusion. She has given birth to a pervert. Just like his father.
