Chapter 482: A very big family. 2

"I see that introductions must be made."

The group’s attention turned to Victor.

"Starting with the two girls who’d just left, they are Pepper, and Lacus Scarlett, members of Clan Scarlett, and they are Ruby’s older sisters. It may not seem like it, but they are already over 100 years old, Lacus being a Vampire of over 500 years old."

The visiting group nodded; only Fred and Andrew were shocked. They were surprised that those two girls were so much older than them.

"This white-haired young lady is my adopted daughter, Nero Alucard/Walker."

The visiting group looked at Nero, who was standing next to Victor.

"Yo," She raised her hand in greeting.

The people who reacted the most were Victor’s childhood friends; before they knew it, the man already had a daughter!

"The little black-haired girl with my mother is Ophis Tepes, she is the daughter of the Vampire King and is also my lovely daughter." Almost all the visitors were shocked this time, except for Adam and Liena, who already knew the girl’s identity when Victor introduced her to his mother.

But one question was still on Adam and Liena’s minds.

’How the fuck is the Vampire King’s daughter your daughter too? Huh? What kind of joke is this?’ They had a lot of questions on this subject, but they decided to keep quiet. This was not the right time or place for that.

"The blonde-haired woman is Natalia Alioth, my wife Violet’s personal Maid."

"..." Natalia just nodded at the group.

The visitors nodded in response to Natalia but didn’t react much. Adam was the only person who opened his eyes wide when he heard the name Alioth. As a former General, he knew of the Alioth family.

’And to think that one of their members would be acting as a Maid...’ He had doubts when he saw the portal, but now his doubts were cleared.

With the same neutral smile on his face, Victor continued, saying:

"The woman wearing combat armor is my teacher, Master, and mother-in-law. The head of Clan Scarlett, mother of Ruby, Pepper, and Lacus."

"Scathach Scarlett."

"..." A silence fell around them for a moment. There was a silence of shock coming from the younger visiting members and members like Andrew and Fred, who knew of Scathach’s deeds.

Adam and Liena already knew who Scathach was; they couldn’t forget the woman even if they wanted to.

"The rest of you may already know who the rest are, so I don’t need to introduce them. Everyone here is part of my big family; it’s a little complicated."

All of Victor’s family members rolled their eyes; a little complicated was too simple a word to define this dysfunctional family.

This family had mothers-in-law who were in a husband and wife relationship with their son-in-law along with their respective daughters. Victor’s daughters were another factor as one was adopted, and the other had two fathers, one of them being the damn King of Vampires, while both were one of the most dangerous creatures in existence.

Not to mention the Maids, each of which having a complicated relationship with Victor. By God, one of the Maids was even married to Victor!

"Fufufu, and to think I would find you here, Liena."

"Oh?" Victor looked at Scathach with an expression of interest; after all, there were few people that woman remembered, and her recognition of someone said a lot coming from someone like her. Although, from observing the woman, he thought the woman was somehow familiar. Looking at his friend beside the woman, he noticed their similarities.

’Oh, it’s Andrew’s mother! Damn, I almost forgot about her.’ But, of course, nobody could blame Victor; after all, he rarely saw Liena. He’d only seen the woman when he went to Andrew’s house, and the woman always had a low presence; she was very forgettable.

Very different from her current presence.

Liena’s body visibly trembled, and her serious facade nearly broke when she heard Scathach’s voice.

"I thought you’d have forgotten about me..."

’And I honestly hoped you’d forgotten about me.’ She thought to herself inwardly.

"Fufu, how can I forget about you?" She laughed even harder, and her laugh, despite being simple, sent little shivers down the backs of all the visitors present.

"Your technique was fascinating; one of the few humans who managed to hurt me, hahaha~. I will never forget you~" Scathach was crazy, her sharp teeth could be seen, and her eyes glowed blood red. She looked at Liena as if she were a tasty piece of meat.

"...." Liena wanted to curse her younger self for provoking this monster.

Everyone knew that nothing good came of gaining Scathach Scarlett’s interest.

Fred, Andrew, Leona, and Edward could clearly perceive Scathach’s personality with just this dialogue.

She was crazy, completely crazy, and addicted to battle.

... Possibly a yandere; after all, Victor had that charm and liked those kinds of women too.

"Damn, Victor really has this aura, huh. Why is every woman around him dangerous?" Andrew muttered.Victor, who heard this, couldn’t help but laugh and smile with a smile similar to Scathach’s:

"Hahahaha~, isn’t it more fun like this?"

"...." Everyone realized now that they were all flour from the same sack!

They were crazy!

"Anyway, introductions were given; let’s get started... But first." Victor turned his face to Kaguya.

"Kaguya, work your magic." Victor raised both arms and threw the Odachi in the air, which began to float.

"...." Adam, Liena, and Aphrodite looked at the Odachi curiously.

’A blood weapon, huh... And to think someone would be able to make one these days.’ Aphrodite thought. With just one look, she could identify the weapon. She wasn’t an experienced blacksmith like Hephaestus or an expert on the subject, but she could identify a weapon type she’d previously seen.

On the other hand, Adam and Liena knew nothing.

The big, predatory smile that Kaguya displayed for a few seconds was enough for everyone to understand how much she liked that order.

The woman disappeared into the shadows and covered Victor’s entire body in darkness. In the blink of an eye, Victor was wearing his usual black suit and white gloves.

"Done," Kaguya spoke with Victor’s clothes neatly folded in her hands.

"Good...God, how I’d missed that." Victor laughed.

And Kaguya felt even happier when she heard Victor’s words. She’d never experienced a situation where it would be so challenging to keep her poker face as it was now.

"Show off," Ruby spoke, and Leona and Victor’s friends internally agreed with her.

"Hey, that’s part of my charm, right?" Victor smiled with a smile that wreaked havoc all around.

Fred and Andrew slapped their faces to wake up from their stupor.

’I don’t swing that way!’ The two spoke at the same time.

Andrew started thinking about the older women he’d dated several times in the past.

And Fred started thinking about the 3TB of hentai he had on his computer.

Even Adam and his family weren’t entirely immune to Victor’s unconscious charm.

Liena, Adam, and Edward quickly awoke from their stupor and narrowed their eyes.

’That beauty is not normal; this is far beyond the beauty of the Vampire’.

Vampires were considered one of the most beautiful races because, without exception, everyone was beautiful. It was part of their biology; they needed to be that way, to ’trick’ their prey and sink their teeth in their neck.

They were natural predators that preyed on humanoid beings.

But... Victor’s beauty was not natural; it had already reached the Divine level.

Aphrodite couldn’t help but flash a small, satisfied smile.

’As expected of him! Fufufufu, and to think that he was so compatible with my blessing! Even Adonis doesn’t compare with the current Victor, which is something natural, I think. After all, he also has the beauty of Adonis.’ Aphrodite was brimming with pride.

She was like a mother who watched her child grow up to be splendid, despite having secret desires that no mother should have for her child.

Ruby didn’t say anything, she just flashed a small, cold smile toward Victor.

Her look said, ’Can’t you just start this? I have things to do.’ She didn’t want to be annoyed with Victor, but the girls’ reactions, especially Leona’s, made her slightly jealous. She just wanted to end it all.

Fully understanding the subliminal message, Victor gave a helpless little smile and looked at his favorite Maid.

"Kaguya, do you want to go back?"

People were confused by Victor’s strange question, go back where?

Kaguya just nodded her head blankly; for her, this wasn’t even a question but a statement. She missed being in Victor’s shadow!

"Maids, come with me."

"Eh-?"

"Wait, Kaguya-"

Kaguya ignored the maids’ protests and sucked them all into her shadow, including the other maids who weren’t present, and soon she went into Victor’s shadow.

...

"Home sweet home..." She muttered when she saw the usual dark world and the giant screen that showed Victor’s POV.Kaguya had no words to describe how comfortable she felt returning to this place.

"Ugh, you should have warned me, Kaguya…." Roxanne grumbled as she lay on the floor.

Kaguya ignored Roxanne’s protests and looked at the screen in midair.

’... Hmm? Has my husband’s soul changed?’ Roxanne thought as she looked around. Finally, she frowned and focused her attention on herself.

...

Victor’s Inner World.

"You finally came."

For a moment, Roxanne didn’t answer. Instead, she looked around at the world and realized that the world was no longer flooding with blood like before. Instead, the world had a proper floor with blood-red grass, and her main body was entirely rooted in the depths of Victor’s soul.

Roxanne looked at the tree that had grown a few feet in height and smiled in satisfaction. She could feel her power growing stronger.action

’If it continues like this, maybe I will bear fruit in less than 500 years? But, of course, it all depends on how much my husband kills.’

Roxanne looked at the shadow that represented her Master’s powers and spoke:

"I just realized now that my husband has changed; what happened?"

"Many things, but the main one being an encounter with a giant tree."

Roxanne narrowed her eyes and said:

"Tell me more about it."

"Sure."

...

While this conversation was going on, the meeting progressed.

"I see..." Victor spoke after Ruby explained what she had told the group.

He was sitting on the couch, with Ruby at his side, Scathach on his other side, Natalia behind him, and Nero, who was next to Ophis and Anna.

"I don’t understand; why are you confused?" Victor asked honestly.

"You do not understand?" Adam was the one who took the lead in the conversation; he narrowed his eyes and continued:

"How can you not understand?"

"Yes, I don’t understand. It’s not like we’re allies in the grand scheme of things, right? So why should I tell something private like my plans to an ’enemy’?" he asked in a neutral tone.

Ruby nodded in agreement with Victor’s words; that was one of the reasons why she didn’t tell the guests anything.

"...." Adam agreed internally. Although Edward and especially Leona didn’t like Victor’s tone, as if it was nothing significant to him, they understood what he was getting at.

"We don’t have conflict with each other for the simple reason that we met before I became a Vampire, and we don’t particularly care about that side or the ’other’ side."

"But this matter only involves us on a personal scale. In the grand schemes of things, we are enemies, and it wouldn’t go over well if your children took refuge in a Vampire shelter, politically speaking, of course."

"And Old man, you are an ex-Werewolf General; I’d bet my kidneys that if the King ordered you to return to serve him, you would return faster than a wife calling her man to practice child-bearing."

Veins bulged in Adam’s head when he saw Victor’s shit-eating smile and heard his analogy.

But... Again, he wasn’t wrong; that was his position towards everyone.

’And to think he knew me so well.’ Adam couldn’t help but say internally.

"Knowing you, Old man, you’re only here to please your two kids, but you’ve already decided what to do in the end, right?"

"...." This time, Adam felt a chill down his spine. Victor’s smile hinted that he knew more about him than he did himself.

In a way, it was uncomfortable; it was revolting. This man who hadn’t even been a Vampire for a decade could make him feel that way. ’Now, I understand what kind of monster I’m facing...’

"Is that true, Father?" Edward asked in a neutral tone.

"Yes." Adam didn’t deny it because, once again, Victor was correct.
