Zane who was now seated on a mountain of books looking down on the seemingly unfazed woman with coldness in his eyes.
"Young master... " The woman said as if disgusted
"You are in charge of the library?"
"Yes..."
"Then explain why the hell it's in this condition."
"I was held up in the market, young master."
"If I recall correctly, then the only reason you are here is to take care of this place...Does this place look cared for in your eyes?"
The woman was expecting the usual light reprimand, but instead was met with these questions, and this annoyed her.
"It seems the young master's ego is flaring up again... no worries, I'll put him in his place, it's part of my job, "She thought boldly
"Young master, it was Miss Spire's wish." She said, hiding her smile by looking at the floor.
*Spire?...wait, that is the family name of the girl this boy had been simping for...according to the memories...she broke off their engagement after his disownment...mph*
Zane let a slow smile spread across his face, chuckling.
*Well played...pocking at old wounds to gain control in emotional turmoil...*
Zane realized why all the servants in the house dared to look at him with pure disdain, it was all her master piece.
"You are also the main maid in this household, right?"
This question stunned the woman since, in most extreme cases, he would only lash out at her before leaving. Besides this, she still answered, assuming the eerie pressure he emitted.
"Yes"
"So you're supposed to serve me, right?"
She was now starting to feel something was definitely of with him today.
"It's as if he is a different person," she thought, but shut down the thought as fast as it came.
"Can I have the documents for all the workers, pls..." Zane said on his face the signature cold smile that his sword demon had engraved in its mind.
A few minutes later, she came back holding a file and handed it to Zane who after scanning it looked at her again understanding in his face.
*Unbelievable!...the main family sends their failed servants here...so in a nice manner...his home is a cage*
Zane thought his rage taking over.
"You and all you're people...you are fired!"
The woman who was starting to drown in her brilliance stood in shock and anger.
"What do..."
Before she could finish Zane moved in a flash chocking her in an instant.
"I said leave!"
Zane said coldly throwing her into a wall but contrary to his expectations instead of death she simply coughs blood and faints this surprises Zane.
"Diren...do the accounts have enough money to pay them?"
"He used his power" Diren thought surprised since most of the time he would treat that power as a curse. Zane's words startled him from his storm of thoughts.
"If we put your savings and all the money available from the company's profits, we can not only pay them but also hire new ones."
" Pay them but do not hire new ones...."
"Diren...why were you really banished here?"
"i...i"
Diren was stunned stupid since in all his few days with Claude, he had never felt this way... completely at his mercy.
"I protected a ma..."
"Listen...I do not like it when my subordinates are stupefied by emotions...so choose wisely."
With that, Zane dismissed him before he knelt on the ground, coughing up blood.
*The f#ck?...*
Zane cursed since he could now feel it clearly after trying to use his power in his eyes there were 12 golden chains holding him down.
Zane channeled his power to break the chains, but was stopped by his sword spirit.
*Asher?*
*Are you insane, Zane?...those aren't ordinary magical chains, those are a product of the world law...*
*so?*
*so?!...how the hell is a god like you this incompetent?*
*Are you going to tell me, or are you going to keep insulting me?*
Zane felt that even the knowledge that was given to him was sealed, but for some reason, his sword kept it like his own living dictionary, since their souls are bonded.
*World laws are a manifestation of the will of the world that keeps things in check... It's like the way the underworld's world laws allowed magic. This one is the opposite; it seals and rejects it, and since it can't just eject you out, it seals off your magic... It's probably because you are one of the gods of chaos*
Zane stands now, understanding his situation, and he notices an old history book and moves to read it.
He reads that in 2015, the world experienced an event since monsters of unknown origin appeared and started killing humans indiscriminately. In that time of need, humans started awakening Arcane bloodlines and other bloodlines, but by the time this happened, the landscape had changed; some lands were now covered with miasma, and as a result, since the government had fallen, the main bloodlines united and administered the land into one ruled by a monarch who split it up into duchies and territories each ruled differently.
A duke rules a duchy, and it consists of around three territories, but in some cases, territories can be independent, given the power of a duchy, for example, if given to a war hero or in some other cases.
*Arcane hero's my ass!... Judging from the fact that they did experiments on you is proof that they clearly tried to forcefully bring spatial abilities into the world, which enraged the world laws and triggered a protocol*Asher cursed his contempt in his voice, easily noticed by Zane.
*Wait, according to the memories, this kid was injected with a serum containing vampire and dragon blood...*Asher thought
*That was a practical death sentence, and judging from the behavior of letting me inherit my grandpa's territory, the main arcane families were into it; they needed test subjects to see if the bloodline fusion was possible. Wait, that means I'm not the only one who has gone through this, and I'm probably the luckiest one to inherit a territory that is a small duchy...*
*You're planning to recruit them, aren't you?... Anyway, I was thinking...*
*...*
*What if we used my power to mix the bloodlines in your body?*
*That's I'm...*
Zane recalled that his void magic could indeed mix them, but his body first had to match up in strength.
With this thought, Zane moved to the training room, which was a silver-looking cubed room.
Zane closed his eyes, concentrating on his body and releasing a blue lightning strike from his hands, followed by another cough of blood.
*It's the mixed blood in your body's system...Using one bloodline makes all the others simultaneously try to come out too... basically, your body is like a jar, and the lightning strikes were an energy release, so basically...*
*Jeez, I'd quit school if you were a teacher...Anyway, so basically when I use lightning, I release other energies that aren't used, so they clash with my body*
*Yes, so basically your body is too weak to even handle your movements, so first is to improve your body...*
*So what should I do?*
*absorb vampire bloodline in your body*
Zane could almost feel the premonition of pain
