The truth was something he wouldn’t tell Lily because he couldn’t tell her from where he knew about it. It was something he pieced together after scavenging his family’s ruins in the past.
He has gained knowledge of many secrets back then, some of them are hidden even from the top echelons of his family. They had no idea to what degree their family was penetrated with spies and enemies. If the family was not obliterated back then, it would have changed its name in a couple of years. But now he is back and he will make sure to save his family and make it all his at the same time.
When Victor said ‘His grandfather is afraid of his grandmother’ he was not lying, but that was not the full truth, ‘The patriarch was terrified by his wife,’ would be a more accurate sentence.
Looking at the mountainous road and the green trees ahead of him Victor thought about his namely grandfather Marcos. Very few people know that he does not come from the main family branch, but from a side branch family. It was his grandmother, the last living offspring of the last patriarch, who chose him and made him what he is today. For her to keep the power as a woman, she had to find a suitable male partner to act as a puppet patriarch for her, as females were forbidden from taking the head seat according to the rules. And in fact, Marcus is just one of his grandmother’s husbands. And he was the weakest member of her harem.
Theodore was not Marcos’s son, but the son of one of the other families Masters who followed his grandmother. But no one knew about that, not even Marcos, as his grandmother kept such secrets under tight wraps. To get such information, he had to desecrate the graves and sample the DNA of his entire family.
After the family’s demise, this entire archipelago became a deserted land where only grave thieves and criminals roam with the beasts.
His grandmother Ann Von Weise, is a very powerful woman, Victor thought, but he knew that every man or woman has something they desperately want or need, and He has now a method of getting exactly what she wants and getting himself rich in the process.
Victor was prepared to expose a few of his secrets to his grandmother in order to gain her trust and support, as Marcos has already started his plan when he ordered Victor to go to school in Vain City. ‘Yes, Marcos is that kind of a guy, he would stop at nothing to get what he wants.’ thought Victor.
After walking for another 15 minutes while holding hands with Lily. He reached the Gate of a grand mansion, surrounded by a fancily worked iron fence. Standing there on the door were two female guards, who had a purple hue in their hairs, purebloods.
“Stop right there,” one of them said, “ May I inquire about your identity and the reason you are here ?” she asked in a slightly artificial polite tone “And at this hour?” she continued after a pause as it was already late.
Victor took out the folded piece of paper he prepared before leaving the hall and gave it to the guard “I am the heir Victor Von Weise, and this is my maid Lily, we wish to meet your mistress for a very important reason.” the guard hesitated for a mere second before accepting the paper “ please wait a moment.” she said before signaling the other guard to keep watch over them, and heading inside the mansion.
After three minutes, a sturdy female housekeeper walked out of the mansion with the guard. she looked at Victor and said, “Follow me please.”
Victor turned to Lily and said, “ wait for me...”.
The housekeeper interrupted him “The Mistress asked for both of you.” she said, then turned around and headed inside the fence.
Victor and Lily followed after a brief hesitation.
“SH*T, I made a big mistake,” Victor thought as his face became very bitter,
He really overestimated Marcus’s courage, it seems he did not want Lily for himself but for his dear wife. “The situation can still be salvaged, I hope,” he thought
After walking through the lavish mansion’s front yard and passing through the front door, they were guided into a lavish room, where Victor took the liberty to sit down on a comfy chair, while lily stood quietly behind him.
Lily still had some dirt and some blood traces on her face and her clothes as she did not have a chance to clean up, while Victor’s clothes were not very clean as Lily was forced to sit on his lap a couple of times.
After a few minutes a beautiful woman with curly Purple hair and a lavish black dress entered the room with two pretty handmaids, she looked about 30 years old, but Victor knew that she was at least 70, there were no aging marks on her face nor body, Her blood was fully awakened. She was Victor's grandmother Ann Von Weise.
Looking at her enter the room Victor and lily quickly saluted in respect.
Victor activated his appraisal skill, but after a split second he felt a piercing pain, so he deactivated it quickly. and coughed twice to hide the painful look on his face. It seems he used this skill too much today that it strained his eye, in addition to the fact that Ann’s level is much higher than him, but that split second was enough for him to confirm the piece of information he wanted.

Yes, the rumors he heard back then were true, she was poisoned.
Ann looked at Victor briefly and examined Lily for a whole 10 minutes before looking back at Victor,
“What do you mean by this,” she asked and then threw a piece of paper to the ground, it was the same piece of paper he gave to the guard earlier.
It reads a few words,
| I Can Get A White Lotus Pill |
Looking at it Victor started talking, “Esteemed grandmother, as grandfather may have already told you, I have awakened a supreme merchant Class, and this allows me to have access to a random selection of system wares every month to buy, and it happened that this pill was one of them, and I wanted to inquire if my dear grandmother is interested in it,”
“And how do you know that I may be interested in it ?” she asked.
“Ah well, the grandson happens to have attended your Birthday this year and the previous one and happen to notice that most of the presents grandma seams to favor had a detoxification effect,” he explained.
“Oh, and since when are you proficient in drugs identification,” she asked with a smile.
“Damn,” he thought,
“This little one is well-read” he answered with a few beads of sweat appearing on his forehead
“Oh,” She said. He knew that she did not fully believe him, but that does not matter as she would want to get the pill first before grilling him.
“The Price?” she asked.
“3 Million COINs, in addition to a promise from you that you would not deliberately hurt me in any way as long as I don’t interfere with your business,” he said firmly.
“Oh, but I already want this girl, Marcos has already sent a letter about her,” she said looking at Lily who unconscionably flinched.
“But that would make me very hurt,” he said with a pitiful look. and that made Lily’s eyes sparkle with tears. Her young master is good to her.
“I know that grandmother wants to use her bloodline to breed a new kind of warriors for the family, right?” he inquired, and his grandmother did not respond, and that made Lily flinch again. “But there is no need, as I intend to take her as a wife so her children would still be parts of the family.” he continued, as this was the only solution he can think of to convince his grandma.
His grandmother looked back at him with a piercing eye “As far as I know, you already have a fiancée, and she can’t stop you from having a few other wives but she would not like that,” she said with a smirk.
“She has already become an adult, so she should learn that you can’t always have what you want, I will deal with it,” He said, That fiancée of his is really troublesome. She is a slut, and he has to find a way to get rid of her.
“Oh, OK, I agree,” his grandmother said, she urgently needs that pill. she has been poisoned for too long and her level has already declined to 15, if this goes on any further she might not be able to control the family.
The white Lotus pill is a very rare medicine that can cure her completely.
And Just when she wanted to inquire when would Victor get the pill, He flashed a Gold Parchment in front of her. Created by his “ Contractor of Doom Skill” and containing their agreement. After signing it, if any party broke it, they will have to face severe consequences.
She knew what this was, and that made her surprised, as she always viewed Victor as some kind of a weakling, but today’s events proved her wrong again and again,
“Seems like he is not useless after all,” she thought “Maybe, I should give him a chance to prove himself. Well, that’s for later.”
She nodded her head,
“OK”, she said, “But add a clause that the price you ask, must be exactly the system’s store price,” she added with a smirk. She will not let him get away with any advantages.
Victor flinched then corrected the Contract with a flick of his hand “Fine, That makes it 2 Million COINs”.
His grandmother glared at him, This piece of shit was about to scam her for 1 Million COINs. That is the family’s revenue for one entire year. But she didn’t scold him, as she was beginning to like this cunning grandson of her.
She bit her finger and a purple drop of blood fell onto the contract, and victor did the same. The contract shimmered with golden light then disappeared. The Contract was done.
She waved her hand and a system prompt appeared in Victor’s head notifying him that 2 Million COINs have been added to his account. so he quickly operated his Merchant administrator skill and bought one WHITE LOTUS PILL for the listed price of 2 MILLION COINs, then applied for a discount using his authority and got a 50% back, 1 Million COINs.
“I am rich now,” he thought, after this,he has to wait 2 days to be able to use this skill again, as his level was still too low, and the transaction very big. but it was worth it. He took the pill out of the store window and it appeared in thin air, so he presented it to his grandmother who grabbed it immediately, and with a wave of her hand, Victor and Lily were thrown out of the house.
“I will not see you off, Come visit me again when you have time. And be careful about your fiancée.” her parting words echoed in Victor’s head which was planted in the dirt outside of the mansion.
He stood up with the help of Lily who started dusting the dirt off him. He smiled at her, then slapped her on her little butt and said “ let’s go home”. This trip was a success.
“Yes, young master,” Lily answered with a sweet smile.
The truth was something he wouldn’t tell Lily because he couldn’t tell her from where he knew about it. It was something he pieced together after scavenging his family’s ruins in the past.
He has gained knowledge of many secrets back then, some of them are hidden even from the top echelons of his family.
