Not A Scammer

Lucius soon woke up and found himself on top of a quite luxurious bed. He also found himself in a room where it was quite luxurious, which made Lucius realize that he was in Volcaria's main estate.

He could know about it as he was not fully asleep for the first few minutes in the carriage. He also managed to hear some conversation between Magnus and Daxton.

But because of the comfortable carriage, he immediately went into deep sleep just after Magnus and Daxton finished their talk about him.

Remembering their conversation, Lucius could only smirk as he said, "To think that Magnus is going to kill me if I am a scammer. It seems that he still doesn't know who I really am."

But still, there was one thing that really surprised him a bit: "To think that Evolists are highly respected these days. I remember in the past that all people can evolve their own beast."

But as he thought about it more, it was different times: "It seems that the world has degraded or the materials that people needed for evolution have become scarce, making only some smart people able to think of another route of evolution."

Both of the reasons that he thought could even be the real reasons but Lucius ignored it as he was different than those people, as what he needed for evolution were his system and points.

Suddenly the door of the room was opened, and Magnus went in. He was also being accompanied by some maids that were carrying trays of different foods into the room.

Magnus immediately looked at Lucius, who had woken up. "It seems that you have woken up, Lucius. What do you think of this room?"

Lucius smiled after being asked and immediately answered, "The room is quite nice and also the bed here is so comfy. As expected from a top family."

Magnus smiled after hearing Lucius' comment. "Glad to hear it. So I am here to tell you that my parents know that you are my special guest and they immediately ask me to bring you to them."

Lucius, who heard it, was a little bit surprised and immediately said, "Your parents? You mean the patriarch and matriarch of the Volcaria family want me to meet them?"

Magnus smiled and nodded. "Yeah. That is what they say. You see, they are afraid that you are a fraud but I know that you are not so they want to meet you to take a look at you."

Magnus then also reassured and also smirked at him at the same time, "Don't worry, as my parents are good people after all. You are not afraid, right? After all, you are a real deal, not a scammer."

Lucius, who heard Magnus' hidden threat, immediately laughed hard, which surprised the maids and Magnus himself. "Of course I am the real deal, so don't you worry. When the time comes, I'll show your parents exactly what I'm capable of."

Magnus, who looked at Lucius' confident look, immediately laughed hard. "If that is the case, then it is good. Let's hope that what you are saying is the truth."

Magnus then instructed the maids to bring the foods toward Lucius: "Now, eat the foods first, as you must be pretty hungry after you ran from that beast tide."

Magnus also instructed one of the maids to put a set of clothes beside Lucius. "And also, I need you to wear these clothes when you are about to meet my parents. Your current clothes are too ugly."

Lucius looked at the tray of foods and also the nice clothes that had been prepared for him. "Thank you, Magnus. Can I also be left alone while I eat and change?"

Magnus nodded. "Sure, you can have some alone time." Magnus then immediately instructed the maids to leave the room. 

Magnus also said, "If you are ready, you can just knock on the door. The maids will escort you to my parents and also don't keep them waiting." Magnus then immediately left the room.

Lucius, who was now left alone, smirked and immediately stood up. "Let's eat the foods first, as it has been a long time since I ate something with my mouth."

Lucius then immediately savored all the foods that had been prepared. The points in his system were also increasing as the foods here contained quite a lot of energy.

Lucius smiled after he finished eating the foods that were a lot, "It is still the best to have a body that can eat this delicious food."

Lucius then looked toward the elegant clothes that had been prepared for him. He immediately took one of them and wore them.

Lucius then went to the mirror that was already in the room. Lucius looked at the red clothes that he was currently wearing and posed.

Lucius immediately smiled after posing for a while, "Not bad. The clothes were quite nice to use and also look cool, as they are really different styles than the ones that I used in the past."

Lucius then immediately knocked on the door to tell the maids that he was now ready to go and meet with Magnus' parents.

The maids who looked at Lucius, who had wore the prepared clothes, immediately escorted him to the designated hall. They didn't say anything to him.

Lucius only followed them as they didn't talk much but still he was quite amazed by the castle. The halls that he passed had a high, luxurious vibe. It was what he expected from the top family.

Finally, the maids brought Lucius to the huge doors, which surprised Lucius a bit. They immediately told him, "This is the hall where the patriarch and matriarch are waiting. You may proceed alone from here."

The moment the maids said it, they immediately left him alone. Lucius could only sigh after seeing them leave him so fast. Lucius could only brave himself now.

"Now, it begins. Let's meet our new backers." Lucius then immediately opened the huge doors and entered the huge hall, where his new backers were waiting.
