16 Handsome

The next morning, when I entered the kitchen, Mom looked at me and froze.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"Alexander? Your hair... eyes," she said and put a knife back on a chopping board.

"My hair?" I showed my best acting abilities of shock and surprise...

"What has happened?" my Mom came up to me and took a strand of white hair," what did you do last night? I remember you going to your room with normal hair color."

"I don't know..."

That moment dad entered the kitchen a looked at me with wide open eyes and mouth. He experienced the same shock as mom did.

"What has happened?" he asked worriedly.

"He says, he doesn't know. Do you have any idea what can cause that?"

"I don't... In fact, there was a case when one person got his hair turning grey because of shock and fear, but eyes."

"Strange... Alexander, do you really don't know anything?"

"Nothing, Mom," hear I revealed anxiety and fear, just a slight bit.

Dad sighed as continued," Then I will ask senior William about that, he will know the reason for sure."

"Good... You are feeling well, honey?" asked Mom and touched my forehead.

"I am fine, Mom!"

"There should be a way to turn it back," my Mom nodded and let me go.

"Mom, I don't want to!"

"What?! Why?"

"I think... I think I am more handsome like that."

My parents looked at each other, they didn't know what they should say.

"Alexander, that won't do... Foremost, the hair color is too eye-catching. Secondly," Dad coughed awkwardly," people may ask questions about our different hair color, you Mom and Dad have black hair."

"What's so bad about different hair color?" I asked doubtfully.

Of course, I knew the reason, but I am however a kid and shouldn't worry about that.

"Em... What your Dad wants to say is that we won't be able to explain the reason for this change, right Dad?" said Mom and poked father with an elbow.

"Right! We won't be able to!"

"Fine... Let's ask Master William about that."

We went to the dining table and had breakfast, Dad looked at me with bewildering expression and kept sighing.

After we had finished with the food, my father and I went to Dr. Rose and Master William's house. When we closed the door and I said goodbye to Mom, Dad whispered," If there won't be any way to change the hair color it is fine, so don't worry, son!"

"Really?!"

"Yeah, I was just a little bit jealous before, you became more attractive than even your old man, haha," he answered and laughed.

I smiled and didn't say anything, of course; my Dad doesn't care about people talking about them, the only thing he cares about is us.

"Good morning, Master, Dr. Rose," I greeted and entered the house.

"Good morning, Alexander... Your hair!" The Doctor froze and looked strangely at my head.

"That's exactly why we are here," said Dad.

"Oh! Albert, good morning, how are you?" asked Dr. Rose coming back to reality.

"Morning! I am as strong as ever, Dr. Rose. What about you?"

"Good, good..." her sight didn't leave my hair.

"Is senior William at home?"

"Yes, he will be over here in a second," our Doctor nevertheless kept looking at my hair and eyes.

"Dr. Rose I feel embarrassed," I said innocently and blushed a little.

"Oh, I am sorry, you just look so handsome today," she laughed and patted my cheek.

"Thanks..."

My Dad and I went deeper into the room and sat at the table. Dr. Rose asked about my mother's health and how is my Dad's work. They chatted for a few minutes and stopped when Master William entered the house from the backyard.

"Good morning, Master!"

"Morning..." William was taken off-guard by my greeting and change in appearance.

However, he wasn't as shocked as my parents or Dr. Rose. His face returned to its cold and unemotional self in a matter of a second.

"I think we should talk about your changes?"

"Yes, Master," I answered and bowed my head.

"Follow me then."

Senior William didn't even converse with my father except for a direct nod and left the room.

We entered another room, it was a little bit dark there, the only source of light was a small window on the side opening a view on a mountain. There was a bed, a wooden table with a chair and mana-powered lamp. William sat on the bed and looked at me with curiosity.

"What have you done?"

"It was an accident... Honestly!"

He sighed and smiled.

"Ok, ok... I have used the Blood Evolution Formation."

Senior William's smile froze, and his eyes turned darker, "You even know about that thing... How did you pass through the beast and talismans?"

"I have concealed my aura from the talismans and the beast, however after I evolved the beast was fearful of me and I have just left."

"What exactly did you get then?"

It looks like that even Master William doesn't know much about the formation, actually, it should be obvious. The Blood Evolution formation is an ancient entity which existed before humans' era.

"It turned out that the Blood Evolution formation contains countless bloodlines inside it, I was lucky enough to get a powerful one, but I don't recognize its effects or how it is called."

"You know that you have breached the rules of the Protectors' Union. I will tell my Master about you, there is no other choice."

"I didn't expect anything else, actually I want to contact him as soon as possible."

Master William helplessly smiled and said," Ok... I will ask him to talk with you, but it is your call if you want to tell him the truth."

"Sure, Master William!"

"Well, let's go to the training ground; I want to see what else has improved in you except for your pleasant looks."

I awkwardly laughed and we left the room. My father and Dr. Rose continued their talk and Dad saw us coming he stood up.

"Senior William, how is he?"

"Everything is fine, the reason for the changes is his talent, a hidden bloodline was activated that is why his appearance has changed."

"Hidden bloodline?" my Dad was confused, it was the first time he heard about hidden bloodlines.

"As you know humans are the weakest species in the world in terms of physical or magical abilities. However, our bodies contain a lot of concealed treasures, such as constitutions, bloodlines or mutations."

"Alexander was fortunate to activate one..." My dad finished the thought.

"Precisely, that is why he has changed so much."

"Is it a good or a bad thing?"

I felt how worried my Dad was... It was painful to see him so anxious.

"Don't know, bloodlines are all different, as far as I can see, Alexander became stronger than before, so..."

"That's good then... Please take care of him!" My father bowed and smiled.
