Finishing with Sebastian’s junk, Victor turned to the other precious ring he had snatched, Evan’s.

Like Sebastian's, it was filled with pills, talismans, and herbs. In addition to some poisons and many documents that Victor put to the side, for now, focusing on the huge dragon egg.

Evan got this from the auction. And Victor didn't know what to do with it. 

It was a lifeless black dragon egg. A fossil.

It can be used to forge some weapons or repair Sebastian's dragon armor. But that would be a waste.

After some thinking, Victor decided to keep it for later. He might find something useful to do with it later. He had an idea, but it was too risky and he would have to wait until his Alchemy lab was ready.

Getting Evan’s stuff sorted out, Victor took out the next item. The fishing pole.

Ethereal Fishing pole, S

Throwing Path Controller by the user. ( MANA BOUND) Hook and line Pass-Through Obstacles. ( AUTHORITY AND MANA BOUND ) Ethereal Plane Hook. ( AUTHORITY BOUND ) Skills Effect Travel Through Line. ( X 1.1 COST FOR EVERY FOOT )

It had the ability to pass through any barrier. Victor checked the string's length and to his surprise it was infinite! It depended on his strength.

He only needed to set a target and then throw the hook at it. The hook would travel the path he set for it. It can also transmit skills effects like paralysis!

Its only drawback is that he had no feedback through the line, and he could only use his senses and intuition to aim and control

Victor liked this new toy very much. He wanted to give it a try.

He stood up and then walked to the window, looking out and searching for a suitable target.

He could only spot Beta who was training her sword art in the front yard. As the girls entered the Mansion leaving her alone. She was a hard-working girl.

Swiftly he threw the hook, which flew in a strange path, not forward but down heading to the sword which was strangely enough hooked by it when it reached it. It was as if it had a hole in it.

Beta didn’t notice it! It was as if the line and hook were completely invisible to everyone but the user.

Not wanting to injure Beta, He waited until she finished her swing, and at the right moment, he injected energy into the pole as he pulled it back, causing the hook to retract using the same path it traveled before. 

Beta stood there in shock as the sword was snatched from her hand and then flew in the air in a swirly dance heading inside the Mansion where it disappeared.

“Not bad,” Victor said when the sword reached his hand and the hook disappeared. 

A moment later, he opened the window and threw it out at Beta, who was still frozen in shock, planting it in the ground in front of her.

“Make sure to hold it firmer next time… And you must act defensively in a situation like this! What if I were an enemy!” He scolded her from upstairs and then closed the window, making her relax a little after she realized it was not a ghost., but her perverted young master.

“Ah… Sorry young master.” She said as she grabbed the sword and bowed down, wondering how he did it. Even after experiencing the dungeon raid, she couldn’t see through him!

 

Smiling as he put the fishing pole away, Victor began to think about Poe. Where did he get this artifact? He had never heard of it in his previous life.

Too bad that Kai couldn’t find anything major about him, he was just a lowly gangster with a very bad reputation and some disturbing hobbies.

Victor planned to wait until Poe… No, He was now Paul. Victor would wait until he woke up and then monitor his movements.

Hopefully, he might be able to find some more secrets through him.

Finishing with this random stuff, Victor turned to his spoils from the Auction!

He carefully took out a jade box and carefully opened it.

Inside, the Celestial Fire Chicken Feather was placed neatly in a glass container.

He only heard about this in his past life, and never saw it.

“Hehehe…” He chuckled to himself as he thought of the crazy method he would use to awaken his bloodline, then other’s bloodlines… If his calculations were correct, this feather would earn him a fortune if he knew how to use it well.

He carefully stored it again to keep it safe. This would be used by Lin on his wedding night.

Next was the 'Blueberry eating slug'. It was preserved in a bottle too.

Victor nodded after taking a look at it. He didn’t really want this, But Kai used it to signal him about the auction so he had to buy it.

If he really gave it to his grandmother like he said he would, he was 99.99% sure she would hang him from his toes and then slowly dip him in molten lava. He had seen this happen in his previous life when one of his unfortunate ignorant cousins suggested that the Patriarch should take a few more wives.

Victor decided to keep it in hand, he might not know where he can use this thing.

After that, he took the golden goose and placed it on the desk.

How was this supposed to work?

After a quick check, he took out a bag of low-quality GEMs and began to feed them to the goose through the hole in its mouth.

The goose’s eyes soon turned from gold to ruby red as it vibrated a little!… It didn't last, but Victor knew that tomorrow morning it would vibrate again and lay one golden egg!

This was so cool!

 Victor carefully lifted it and began to look through its bottom hole… Although it was small, he could see the intricate array drawn inside. It was slowly forming the golden egg using the energy it extracted from the GEMs. 

Victor had already digested 10% of that artificer's soul. The one he found in the soul gem.

Now he had the knowledge of a novice artificer and All he needed was some training. Maybe after completely digesting this knowledge, he might be able to modify the array to make him other elements.

At that exact moment, the study’s door was pushed open by Alex who was flabbergasted by the sight of her young master sniffing a golden goose's anus… that’s what it looked like.

“Oh… A…. I will return in another time…” she said with a blush intending to leave… Her young master was really a pervert. 

“No, you are right on time! Sit down,” Victor scolded casually as he put the goose down on the desk then looked at Alex and appraised her fate.

Fate Power: S

SUMMARY NEGATIVE / DARK SCION

CONFLICTING FATES

DESTINY LIST < 10 ORDER POINTS TO UNVEIL >

Damn it, he only has 6 order points… He was really curious about her destiny. 

“Is there anything wrong, young master?” she asked nervously as she noticed the way he looked at her. It’s not that she hated it, but she was afraid he would find out the truth… And his blazing eyes made her feel very shy.

"Just appraising your beauty," he said as he looked at her watching her clear eyes and her hair which was still damp from the shower she took. She must have hurried here. What a good girl!

“Ah…” She blushed and looked down, not knowing how to respond… Could it be that he had finally discovered the truth?

“Too bad you are a man…” He sighed, shattering her hopes.

“Does the young master need anything?” she asked,

“Yes… But I need to do some things first, so just watch silently,” he said, then paused and threw the rings he checked earlier to her. “Check those if you find anything you like.” He said casually. Making her nod and get busy.

After that, he totally ignored her and began to look at the next item in his ring.

A sealed bottle… It was the one the Dark Chamber agent, Toral bought at the auction on the orders of his third lord.

Victor carefully opened it and looked at the red ash inside… He also knew about this, those Von Rosen Idiots would pay a fortune for it, not knowing that it would cause their demise.

He read about it in the Imperial report that was compiled after a Scion conquered the Von Rosen Dungeon.

Victor carefully appraised it.

RUST BLOOD SS

No other explanations were specified because none was needed. This thing was the blood of the Rust demon. The Von Rosen had been trying to summon it for ages but failed as they only had traces of its blood which they found in dungeon ruins with the info about its summoning.

The rust demon was not a strong one. In fact, it was very fragile and looked like an inch-tall jellyfish. Victor liked to think of them as Metal spirits.

Its real usage was forging sentient artifacts by integrating them with the metal.

A sentient weapon was rare but not very strong, however like other living things it had a chance to be awakened… To have a system!

They call those Holy weapons. They were so rare that Even the Emperor, despite paying a heavy price! And searching for ages, could not get one… He couldn’t steal one either as those who had them were powerful enough to protect them or smart enough to hide them.

Victor only saw three of these in his past life. 

One was held by his bitch sister-in-law. A Holy staff. The second was by that bastard who killed his family with his holy Sword. The last one was held by Zoe, it was a ribbon.

As far as Victor knew, the secret of the holy weapons was only known to a select few. 

As for the way to summon the rust demon, only the Von Rosen family knew about it. Or else how could that idiot Toral be able to nab this bottle this cheaply.

The main ingredient for those weapons, the Rust demons were extremely rare as they reside in only one infernal dimension that was inaccessible to humans. The only way to get them was through summoning. And the summoning was really hard. It required rare rust blood and had a 99% chance of failure.

Every one of the demons had only one to four specks of this rust blood in it. So this stuff was very precious. The only way to get this bottle was to stumble upon a Rust demon graveyard.

Victor quickly took an empty box and then filled it with a tenth of the bottle, deciding to keep it for himself. As for the rest, he just dropped a drop of his own blood in it then sealed it again. This will be sold to the Von Rosen family using some back channels. He needed all the money he could get.

A speck of Rust blood has a 1% chance of summoning a Rust Demon.

100 specks of rust blood, have a 100% chance to summon the rust demon’s apex predator… A SSS+++ ranked Tentacle monster. His summoning would literally turn the entire Von Rosen estate into a dungeon where that demon would take his time eating them all.

“Young master, why are you smiling like that?” Alex, who was gladly checking the Arachne slaying spear, suddenly asked. 

He was scaring her, the smile on his face was simply too evil, like a wicked child who threw a booger into his friend's lunch box and was waiting for him to eat it.

“Just planning some revenge.” He said as he put the jar away and then looked at Alex,

“Do you like that spear?” He asked,

“Isn’t this the one we got at that spider dungeon?” She asked,

“Yes, I took it from Sebastian yesterday,” Victor said,

“You met him?” Alex asked in horror, she can still remember that strange power he used against her.

“Tomorrow you will accompany me to NewLure city.” Victor said, “I am going to propose to that Von Astrom girl.”

“Oh… “ Alex nodded, "Why me?" She asked

"Do you want me to take Lily or Margret there?" he asked.

"I understand," She said, she can't picture Lily sitting with a smile as Victor proposed to another girl in front of her. As for Margret… He can't propose with a slut hanging to his arm.

“There is something else, I need you to be acting as me,” Victor said, making her frown as she looked at him.

“What do you mean?” She asked. She didn't really get it.

“Tomorrow I need to be at two different places at once, so I am turning you into my double! A Fake Victor!” Victor explained, 

"What? How..." she wanted to ask but was interrupted.

“I need you to get comfortable with being me, so for the entire day today, you will be acting like me.” He added, making her frown at him.

“Ah…But…” Alex still didn’t get it.

“The moment you leave this room, I will be using my disguise skill to make everyone see you as me…. Everyone will see me when they look at you, and hear my voice when you speak!” Victor explains slowly again, “You will be taking my persona… And I want you to act like me and fool them.“ Victor said,

“Is that possible?” Alex asked, she was still not convinced,

“Yes, for you it is. It will consume a lot of my energy but you must get used to it. I really need you to be proficient in acting like me. You will be doing it tomorrow! This is vital for my plans.” He said seriously. “You are the only male buddy I can trust.” He said,

Alex wanted to scream that she was not a male… But on the other hand, she liked the feeling of him depending on her. 

It took her a few minutes to get it. But the more she thought about this the more she liked it.

Acting like him might be fun. She might be able to take revenge on Margret.

“I understand.” She said, nodding to Victor like she was saying, ‘I AM YOUR MAN!’ though she was not really a man.

“Excellent! You can go now,... I have a lot of work to do and will not appear in front of the girls today, so have fun playing me!” Victor gestured for her to get out as he took a heavy briefcase from his ring and put it on the table.

"Be careful though, If you do anything perverted or stupid that might ruin my image, I will castrate you and feed your little Alex to the dogs," Victor warned as she reached for the door. 

It took her a few seconds to understand what he meant by little Alex, then blush as she quickly left the room… There was no little Alex!
