Rex, who had very tan skin at the moment, sat nervously on the steel chair as his father with three men in black robs glared at him.
“Do you know why we summoned you back to the family island?” Theodore asked as the others glared at Rex.
“Ahh… You forgave me?” Rex asked. For the last month, he had been assigned as a mining supervisor in a desert country for breaking Luke's leg after catching him with his fiance.
Although Rex didn’t break any rules, he was punished by Theodore who didn’t like his sons fighting. He was supposed to work there until the end of the year.
“Of course not, but something urgent came…” Theodore said.
“Oh…” Rex frowned.
“Let’s get straight to business. Did you or did you not teach Lara this martial art!” Theodore asked his son very coldly as he pushed forward a folder containing a precise description of the art he taught Lara.
Rex frowned for a second, looking at the two men who were from the inquisition hall before he replied. “I did!”
“YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU…” Theodore flared up immediately.
“Esteemed father, you told me to!” Rex quickly interrupted while looking strangely at his enraged father.
“WHAT? I told you to teach her the family martial arts!” Theodore said.
“Yes… Isn’t this the family martial art?” Rex said, malign Theodore frown, looking at one of the men then back at Rex.
“I am the one asking questions here!” Theodore scolded. “Read this quickly and tell me, is this the art you taught Lara… Especially the part marked in red!”
“Oh…” Rex frowned and looked at it, reading it twice… “Yes it is!” he nodded.
“Who taught you this?” Theodore asked, frowning a little. He didn’t expect Rex to come clean this fast.
“You did!” Rex replied, frowning a little as if he didn’t understand what his father meant.
“WHAT? I didn’t teach you this!” Theodore scolded, putting another paper on the table. “What I taught you was this… The original family art. Do you see the difference?” he asked, getting a little angry.
Rex quickly compared the two. “No… You taught me the first one… I clearly remember it!” Rex said. ”It is the one I practiced!”
“WHAT …” Theodore wanted to scold, but one of the men held his hand.
“Are you sure?” the man asked Rex.
“Yes!” Rex nodded. He didn't seem to be lying
The man frowned and looked at his partner who shook his head.
“Let us see then… Can you practice it here in front of us?” another man said.
“Ah… yes…” Rex nodded. It has been a while since he did this, so he relaxed his body and closed his eyes then began to practice…
Everything went fine…
“You are practicing the normal art… not the one you taught Lara…” Theodore suddenly said.
“No… I am…” Rex paused… “Strange… “ he said as he held his head. He seemed a little disoriented. “No… I swear this is the art I know… why am I practicing it wrong?”
“I see…” one of the inquisitors said, looking at the others. “Rex… You can leave for today, stay on the island for two more days though, and don’t practice that art anymore…” he added as Theodore frowned looking at his son.
Rex nodded and stepped out… He looked a little lost but seemed to not dare question his father.
“He was telling the truth…” the man who was silent until now spoke. “My skill didn’t detect any anomaly!”
“And he never practiced the modified art… He couldn’t even apply it…” the other said.
“What does this mean?” the last one said.
“Someone brainwashed him…” Theodore replied as he squinted his eyes. “I need to go over everyone Rex worked within the last three years…” he said.
“Probably… I will ask my men to see if they have anything…” the first man said with a smile, watching Theodore ponder over this matter… Of course, Rex was lying, but so was the inquisitor!
“Theodore… When you called us yesterday, you said you had some other thing you needed to tell us about….” one of the men asked.
“...I didn’t manage to get it… We will talk about this later…” Theodore replied. He wanted to get the diary from Victor earlier, but when he went to the mansion before heading to the family island, Victor was not there.
According to Margret, she took Lily and Lin to some secret place to have tons of fun and should return in a couple of weeks. She seemed a little annoyed that he didn’t take her too…
Theodore wanted to stay and get to know his daughters-in-law, but after overhearing two of the new loli maids discuss how they were surprised when they saw their young master's giant cock, he decided to return when Victor was home.
He had to admit, he was feeling a little jealous. Not because of the lolis. He was not into that shit.
It was just that his wives never talk about him like that…
In Victor’s mansion, there was even some stupid maid singing a lullaby about how her young master’s train took her to heaven!
Why didn’t his wives and concubines sing for his ‘train’? Was Victor bigger or faster than his?
Damn it!
“Theodore….Theodore… Why are you spacing out?” One of the men asked after Theodore paused suddenly in mid-sentence.
“Sorry… Just thought about something important…” he shook his head.
“Oh…. I see…” one elder said, frowning.
“Ok… Let’s head to the elder’s hall then, it is about time for the meeting about the moon. It seemed like the patriarch got some new info!” another inquisitor said.

…
“Thank you for sharing this with us!” Rea said politely, thanking the two mysterious masked girls as she ate.
“No worries…” one of the girls said in an ethereal voice.
“Where are the two of you from? How did you enter this place?” Rain asked as he finished his food. Thankfully those two girls didn’t have storage rings and seemed to carry their rations in their bags.
“We were crossing a river when the moon suddenly turned red… The next thing we knew we were here… Thankfully we found each other pretty quickly!” one of the girls.
“The moon?” Rain asked.
“Yes!” the girls nodded. “How about you?”
“We were exploring a ruin when Rea seemed to touch something she was not supposed to, and a teleportation gate opened to this place..” he said, ignoring Rea’s glares that she was shooting him and not staying that he had to keep trying for an entire hour before he figured out how to enter throw the teleportation gate.
“Oh…” the girls nodded and looked at each other.
“Any… Can you tell me your names at the very least?” Rain asked helplessly. Those girls, deciding to help him and Rea, refused to give any info about themselves. Despite them both wearing masks, he could tell that they were top-notch beauties.
“No…” Both of the girls shook their heads.
“Then I will just call you Beauty One and Beauty Two!” he said with a cheesy smile. He was used to dealing with arrogant girls.
“Rain… That's rude…” Rea said, feeling a little jealous.
“Do whatever you want…” one of the girls said as she stood up. “It’s about time we move on!”
“How about we travel together?” Rain suddenly asked. “This place is dangerous, and there are some crazy dudes here…” he added. This place made him feel very strange, as his body was technically a demon magnet, but until now, no demons attacked him.
In fact, the only monsters he faced were those protecting the fruit trees and a couple of rabbits who kept their distance from him and disappeared when he tried to hunt them.
“... If we did, how do we split the fruits we find?” one of the girls asked. She seemed smart. That’s how he liked them.
“How about your group takes the next one we find, and then we will take the one after… Alternating like that…” he said.
“Ok…” the girls nodded, looking at each other and sighing.
Little did Rain who planned to steal the two girls' hearts know that they were the ones planning to steal from him.
Victor gave them a mission to befriend Rea for now and try to get her to join their secret organization, so naturally, the girls were feeling a little conflicted. They were helping their husband tame another bride after all!
…
Victor smiled as he watched Liam walk in front of him. This guy was very scheming.
The truth was, Victor didn’t expect him to agree to the contract so quickly. He seemed somewhat pleased with it too!
The only explanation was that Liam knew something about System Contracts.
A contract must always be fair. And Victor’s contract was obviously not. It was not an equal exchange. So when Victor would come to ask to be paid, Liam would only be required to give him the same or double at most before the contract would be considered fulfilled.
There was another point that Victor noticed.
When he gave Liam a sword and a shield, the latter replied “I will borrow these for now…”
He was obviously using a hole in the contract, if he was only borrowing things, he only needed to return them later.
Victor chuckled… Well, poor Liam had no idea what Victor planned.
“Why are you chuckling like an idiot? your highness… ” Tulip asked rudely.
“Just wondering if I can convince you to work for me after exiting this place… Although you are a little too arrogant for my taste and a little too flat, I really liked how you hugged me last night!” Victor said.
“Nothing like that happened... It was your imagination!” she spat, looking away with a blush.
She looked really cute. If Victor hadn’t already been immunized by Lily’s beauty, he might have considered adding Tulip to his harem… Well, he might add her after all. He decided to leave this to destiny for now, he was not sure he had the power to cuckold five scions at the same time… He might end up being an enemy to the entire world, or worse, a member of Tulip's harem!
“Look! It’s a shiny fruit!” Liam suddenly said, alerting both Victor and Tulip who walked behind him.
There, on a tree near them, a single fruit was waiting to be picked. Under the tree, a lizard was sitting lazily enjoying her day.
Before Victor could say a thing, Liam ran to the lizard and struck it with the sword in his hand, killing it in seconds. From his stance, Victor realized that he must have had sword fighting lessons before.
Victor chuckled, Liam must be planning to use the opportunity to level up here and become a full player. Too bad that the lizard would not get him any experience. It was not an otherworldly monster, but a mutated beast!
“The fruit is meant for this emperor!” Victor said as he quickly floated and snatched the fruit before Liam could take it.
“I was the one who saw it first!” Liam complained, but Victor ignored him as he ‘ate’ the fruit.
4/10 Fruits have been eaten!
You are on your way to greatness!
A screen showed him his progress.
“When you promised to follow this emperor, you chose to give up your rights on such treasures!” Victor scolded as he tabbed Liam’s shoulder and activated his Awakening skill.
Nothing happened.
Victor expected this, as Liam was already awakened, but Victor just had to try.
“I know… Liam said looking away, totally not aware that Victor was using him as a lab rat.
“It is about time for lunch…” Victor said while shaking his head and then looking at Tulip. “Juicy… let me teach you how to fry eggs!” he said.
“...” Tulip frowned and said nothing as Victor began to set up his portable cookware.
“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…” Suddenly a high-pitched scream alerted them, making Victor frown.
“Juicy, Start preparing food, This emperor will be back in a second!” Victor told Tulip as he quickly jumped and ran toward the source of the scream, about two miles away.
There, near a grand tree, a naked white-haired girl was covered in blood as she desperately fought a group of other men who wore strange silvery fur coats.
Victor looked at the girl and frowned. It was as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember where and when and that was strange by itself.

Another one… This little girl was a scion too damn it!
Did the same thing happen in his previous life too? Did scions flock to this dungeon like flies flocking to a piece of shit?
It seemed like, this place had some very strong artifact that was even managing to fool the scion’s world protection…. With every second, Victor was affirming his guess about the nature of this place... He needed to start implementing his plan soon!
Looking at the girl and the hooligans around her, Victor could only sigh and move to help her.
He had the feeling that because of the danger in this dungeon, the world and destiny were pushing Scions toward him. In a way he was right, despite Victor’s plan to use them, by staying with him, their life and destiny would not be harmed.
What was he again? A scion daycare center?
Whatever...
“Ah...What a hot girl…” someone suddenly said, it was Liam who was panting after he following Victor from behind. Victor flashed him a very dangerous glare then quickly hid it after he realized what Liam’s plan was.
Damn it… Victor cursed at himself, he was a little fooled by Liam’s weak appliance. This guy was a fox! He must be planning to make Victor reveal all his trump cards or even his identity... And maybe even get him a little weakened!
Ever since Victor met him, he had been trying to ask around to no avail.
Regardless… Victor would have done the same if their roles were reversed.
Be it a fox or a rabbit, they were all destined to be slaves!
Liam’s voice alerted the men who turned and looked at the sound source….
PSHHHHHHH............
They didn’t see what hit them as a screaming fat man fell on top of them, pushing them to the ground after Victor grabbed and threw him at them in a split second.
In a matter of moments, Victor used their shock to start a massacre.
