RE: LORD OF TIME

”Sleep?” Liam looked at William in confusion.

”Hmmm...” William nodded and explained to him about Bloodline Memories.

”Since you have just gained your Bloodline, it’s very likely that you will trigger your Bloodline Memories during sleep. Once you see your Bloodline Memories, we should be able to get more information about your Ruinborn Vampire species and what abilities you possess.”

Liam was pleasantly surprised upon learning that he could use more Bloodline Abilities other than those present in his status window, and his eyes lit up.

’It’s indeed worthy of an Apex Grade Bloodline, just one level below the highest Origin Grade.’ He thought, and all three of them left the basement.

Coming upstairs, they saw Victoria waiting for them outside, her eyes filled with curiosity.

When Victoria saw Liam’s platinum-white hair and blood-red eyes, her mind froze for a moment before her eyes widened in disbelief.

As a vampire herself and someone who had been serving Vivian for a long time, Victoria knew very well that platinum-white hair was a sign of having an Apex Grade Bloodline.

Previously, Liam’s hair had been deep brown in color, so she was certain that it had changed after he was turned into a vampire.

’How is this possible? How can he awaken an Apex Grade Bloodline?’ She screamed inwardly, feeling her mind trembling.

And when she tore her gaze away from Liam to look at William, she felt even more frightened.

Because Vivian hadn’t told her anything yet, she didn’t know that William already had a Vampire Bloodline.

So, seeing his platinum-white hair, she thought he had also awakened an Apex Grade Bloodline.

More importantly, the Bloodline pressure coming from him was far superior to anything she had ever felt, even higher than Vivian’s Bloodline pressure, which simply made no sense in her opinion.

”My Lady, this...” Victoria spoke in a trembling voice when the three of them got close to her.

Vivian paused when she saw Victoria’s stunned look and smiled helplessly.

’I should have informed her about everything before...’ She shook her head and patted her maid and also close friend’s shoulder.

”Arrange a room for him to sleep. I will tell you everything later.”

Hearing Vivian’s words, Victoria immediately came back to her senses and bowed without asking anything.

”Yes, My Lady.”

She looked at Liam and signaled him to follow her.

”Try to learn as much as possible. Bloodline Memories are not something that you can see at will, so utilize this opportunity...” William said, and his eyes narrowed. ”Also, tomorrow is the combat class. I want you to challenge those nobles and beat the sh*t out of them. Let’s show those bastards what we brothers have got.”

Liam was stunned when he heard William’s words, but his face soon turned serious.

”Yeah, I also want to beat some people...”

Although he did not say it out loud, Liam was very annoyed by Zion and a few other noble guys.

Although he wasn’t certain if he could beat Edrin and the other powerful nobles yet, he now had enough confidence to sweep the floor with the other nobles in their class.

William nodded upon seeing the serious look in his eyes and didn’t say anything.

Vivian smiled slightly and, looking at Liam’s departing back, leaned on William’s shoulder.

”He is not bad. At least, he has the guts to stand against those nobles without cowering in fear because of their Status.”

”He had always been fearless...” William said with a chuckle as he remembered some of the incidents from the original timeline.

”So, are you going to start creating your faction from tomorrow?”

”Yeah...” William nodded. ”Once Liam and I show our strength in tomorrow’s combat class, it will be the best opportunity to attract people toward my faction.”

He stretched and sighed a little.

”All the chaos I have been causing in the academy since coming here was for this moment. With the strength and potential I have shown till now, I think many people will try to join it.”

”Be careful of rats...” Vivian spoke in a low voice. ”Since you are creating a faction, many nobles will actively send their own people to your faction to keep an eye on what you are planning to do.”

”I know...” William sneered, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. ”I already have a plan in mind for those people. In fact, I want every influential noble to send someone into my faction so that I can use them.”

Without him saying anything, Vivian immediately understood what he was planning and couldn’t help but laugh.

”You are really hell-bent on messing with those nobles.”

William didn’t deny Vivian’s words and pulled her into his arms.

”Vivi, there is something I need your help with.”

Vivian rolled her eyes at him and pouted.

”Recently, you have been asking for my help a lot without paying anything. Don’t think you can exploit me simply because I am your wife.”

William chuckled and leaned forward, his forehead pressing against hers.

”Didn’t you say earlier that your husband is a pauper with no money...” He said with a smile, his breath brushing against her face. ”Then let me tell you something that is enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a long time.”

A look of confusion flashed in Vivian’s eyes, but as she listened to William’s words, her eyes gradually widened.

”Are you sure?”

”Yes...” William nodded and gave a light kiss on Vivian’s forehead. ”Once you’re done with what I asked, you can keep the rest for yourself.”

Vivian thought for a moment before asking, ”Don’t you think it’s a waste?”

”Don’t worry, I have many other valuable pieces of information. It’s just right to use this one to make our future path smoother.”

”I see...” Vivian nodded and hurriedly gave him a light kiss on the lips before she burst into bats and disappeared.

”I will be back soon.”

William looked into the distance silently before walking over to a bench in the garden and sitting down silently.

Leaning back, he stared at the sky, lost in thought.

Soon, half an hour passed.

’She should be done by now...’ William thought, his eyes shifting toward his status window.

Around a minute later, some notifications suddenly flashed on his status window, and his lips curled upward slightly.

’So my guess was correct after all, huh...’ He chuckled inwardly, and a weight finally lifted from his heart.
