BXBX NOVEL Chapter 439 - Suspicious Clan Head
Lawrend poured his fire mana inside the Clan Head\'s body. His body started burning and turning to ash.
The Clan Head quickly realized what was going on. He determinedly chopped at his arm and detached it from his body.
Lawrend let go of the hand and put the orange gem in his storage ring.
"W-What are you doing, Your Highness!?" the Clan Head shouted unusually loudly.
He was clearly trying to get the attention of the other people outside. That way, Lawrend would not dare to kill him with all of the witnesses.
"I\'m not an idiot. I saw the greed in your eyes. If you were slower, you would have died. Though, I simply used a High Mage spell," Lawrend replied coldly.
"But that was something from our clan! I don\'t know how you got it, but I do know what\'s something that belongs to us," the Clan Head said seriously.
Although he was facing Lawrend, he wasn\'t afraid. As the Clan Head, he knew something that an outsider like Lawrend doesn\'t know.
"I saw the ancestor. That gem was his gift to me," Lawrend calmly revealed to him.
"Wh–!"
The Clan Head dropped his jaw in shock.
"I also know that this clan is a branch clan of the Ignis clan," Lawrend continued.
"W-Who are you!? How did you meet the ancestor!?"
The Clan Head was so shocked that it looked like he saw a ghost. In his mind, only the Clan Head could do that using a Magic Artifact and a family-exclusive spell. Besides, they can only meet someone insignificant from the Ignis Clan. They were never able to summon an ancestor.
"Look."
Lawrend walked closer to the blood pond and slit his wrist lightly. A drop of blood fell and boiled before quickly disappearing. It wasn\'t enough to summon that phoenix again.
"Who are your parents!?" the Clan Head asked in disbelief.
Now that he was given proof, there was no denying it. Even though he can\'t feel Lawrend\'s bloodline, the reaction of the Ancestor Blood Pond was enough. Only those with the blood of the Ignis would be able to incite such a reaction.
"Neat. I don\'t have to find my father to ask him about it. My father\'s name was Rendal Horiel," Lawrend replied.
Suddenly, the Clan Head\'s eyes widened into even more disbelief.
"N-No way…"
The Clan Head walked back slowly in a daze.
"What? Do you know my father?" Lawrend asked and squinted his eyes.
"N-No… I don\'t know that bastard…" the Clan Head replied as hate appeared in his eyes.
Lawrend instantly realized that the Clan Head knew who his father was. He walked closer to the Clan Head and stood in front of him.
"Tell me what happened," Lawrend said with dead serious eyes.
"Y-Your Highness, I was just talking nonsense. I don\'t know that person."
The Clan Head forced a smile on his face and avoided eye contact with him.
"Stop lying to Master!" Aezel shouted.
She walked towards him and gazed at him with her red pupils.
The Clan Head felt the world fall on him. He was only an Arch Mage. It was hard for him to endure the pressure that Aezel released on him.
The Clan Head\'s face warped in pain.
"Clan Head!"
Vernon ran inside and saw the Clan Head getting teamed up by Lawrend and Aezel.
"S-Son, run!" the Clan Head shouted while he gritted his teeth in pain.
"Father, what\'s going on? Is this because of the bet? I already didn\'t come! Why are you here!?" Vernon shouted at Lawrend in anger.
After he challenged Lawrend to a duel, he returned home and quickly learned that Lawrend became the Prime Student of the Mage Academy. He didn\'t have the guts to face someone so powerful with his True Mage strength.
"Oh? You also didn\'t come?"
Lawrend didn\'t expect that Vernon also didn\'t come. But that made sense as he never heard about him ever again after that.
"Wait, you also didn\'t!?" Vernon exclaimed in shock before happiness started to fill his face.
"Yeah. I forgot about you after I enjoyed a good night with my maids," Lawrend calmly replied.
"A-Arghh… But that means that we have drawn, right? Then, you don\'t have a reason to attack us! Stop doing this!" Vernon shouted as he endured the emotional damage Lawrend caused him.
"Hmmm… This is troublesome," Lawrend said and held his chin.
"Master, you are the king of this kingdom now. No one would say anything if you kill an arrogant bastard that dared to lay his eyes on Sister Aleshia!" Aezel urged him on.
"That\'s right, Master. Just kill this insect. The more I see him, the more I get reminded that you want him to watch us have sex…" Aleshia muttered with a red face.
"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
The Clan Head and Vernon stared at Aleshia in shock. Even Lawrend couldn\'t help but stare at her in surprise. Why was Vernon reminding her of something like that?
"Master, it\'s because of you! I couldn\'t help but imagine what would happen if someone watched us that day…" Aleshia clarified in embarrassment.
"*Cough* Forget that."
Lawrend felt guilty when he heard her words. He shouldn\'t have given her that idea.
Her birthday suit was all for him to admire.
"Anyways, are you going to answer my question or not?" Lawrend asked the Clan Head.
"..."
The Clan Head and Vernon looked at each other before he came to a decision.
"I will, but will you make a blood contract with me that you won\'t kill my son immediately after this?" the Clan Head asked.
Once he spilled everything, he was doomed. He could only save his only heir.
"Alright." Lawrend nodded his head.
A blood contract appeared in Lawrend\'s hand, and he wrote some terms on it. He then passed it to the Clan Head.
The Clan Head modified some before they signed the blood contract together. It entered inside their wrists and activated.
He then opened his mouth and started revealing everything he knew.
