Scheme

After the servants spoke these words, Dan's expression flickered, a smile hung on his face as he greeted a sturdy and olden figure coming his way. Clasping his hands together, Dan bowed before saying in a clear voice: "Father, your son, welcomes your arrival."

Zaramias stared at his son, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. When he heard the message about what his son did towards the daughter of the Batian Clan. Scanning his son's figure, Zaramias noticed that he held a book and he said in curiosity, "Son, it seems like you now have an idea about how you should act. To think that you're actually reading books regarding cultivation..."

A smile crept on his face as he said those words. Dan's expression brightened, but inwardly, he frowned for he knew that according to the memories of the previous owner of this body. His father, Zaramias Longinus couldn't easily be fooled.

A flash of suspicion ran through the former's expression as he mused, "Dan, no matter what you did, you're still the proud son of mine." His eyes shone in a critical light, "I will ask the Batian Clan for an explanation!"

Dan's expression became tender and his eyes glimmered in gentleness, back at his previous life, his parents didn't even care for him and to have someone acting gently like this to him, was a foreign sensation for him.

His face flashed in a solemn light, "You need not worry about that father, I started the matter, so I will deal with this myself!" A domineering aura enveloped his body as he declared.

Staring at his son whose attitude went a complete change. He didn't know what to react. But soon, a small smile of satisfaction spread on his lips as he walked towards his son, tapped on his shoulders before saying, "I see, since you're saying that you will deal with it by yourself, I won't bother with it anymore. However, if you ever ran through a quagmire, remember that you have me behind your back."

Between this father and son, words were useless as Zaramias calmly retreated back to his room, leaving his son, smiling to himself as he thought, 'This must be the reason why the previous owner of this body became so complacent about himself...However, since I'm in his body now, it could be said that his father I also my father, and all of his previous grievances, I will definitely solve."

'First thing first, let me open this beginner's pack first...' He became excited as he went back to his room. After making sure that there was no one around him, Dan opened the System's Main Menu and opened the beginner's pack reward inside the System's Virtual Inventory.

[Skill Coupon(1)]

A floating icon of a scroll with a Skill Coupon name manifested in the air, Dan tapped on it and the scroll exploded with a blinding light as a notification sound echoed within his mind. Regaining his sight, he found a system notification before him.

The sheen of excitement on his expression intensified as he stared at the skill name and thought, 'Goddamned it, this is really too timely!' Calming his nerves, Dan walked out of the Longinus Clan's Residence, heading for the direction of the Batian Clan Region
