Chapter 102: A New Family Member
Why was this guy so damn difficult to deal with?
After suffering significant losses among the family’s core members, Bobby Lion—someone who had never taken his opponent too seriously until now—finally felt a deep sense of urgency clawing at him.
Whether it was for Bobby's own ambition to climb higher on the backs of the Lions or for the goal of the goat heart of reclaiming its strength through them, neither could afford to let the family crumble.
But just as Leon seemed utterly unfazed by the three thousand lives arrayed against him, the young man whose abilities were all stacked into "Domination" found himself equally powerless to kill Leon outright. Instead, he could only send his “pawns” to surround and corner him while ordering key players to retreat early.
Unfortunately, such tactics proved futile against someone like Leon, whose speed far exceeded that of an ordinary person and whose maximum effective range stretched over a hundred meters. The Lion family’s forces continued to dwindle rapidly under his relentless assault.
Damn it. Why do they have to fill the estate with so much useless junk?
Through the young man’s soul vision, one particular soul—brimming with demonic energy—darted chaotically through the complex terrain and decorative structures, evading pursuers left and right. Every time it was nearing a hundred meters, a burst of deep purple soulfire would explode outward. Then, another version of “him” nearby would gleefully scoop up the fragments, devouring them like a whale gulping down a river.
In just two or three minutes, more than ten people fell victim to this brutally efficient killing spree. Meanwhile, many of those ordered to evacuate earlier hadn’t even made it downstairs yet.
It was impossible to stop him. Completely impossible.
Even after positioning hundreds of pawns around several key members, Bobby watched helplessly as Leon picked them off from afar. As Leon advanced toward the western residential wing of the main building, the young man—who had always exuded confidence—began to panic.
Those living near the main building weren’t just any members; they were the true core of the Lion family. If these individuals were wiped out, forget about replacing the royal family—the Lions would be torn apart and devoured within a month.
This can’t go on. I need to end this now.
“Thomas…”
Using his Domination ability, Bobby instantly pinpointed the location of a middle-aged golden-haired man. Seizing control of a nearby butler’s body, he snarled viciously:
“That Leon guy—why hasn’t he been entered into the family registry yet?”
“Huh?”
Startled by the sudden shout, the golden-haired man turned to glare, ready to reprimand whoever dared interrupt him. But realization dawned quickly—it was Bobby speaking through the possessed butler.
“Right away. Just a moment.”
Trembling under the weight of the impatient, angry voice emanating from the “old butler,” Thomas stammered:
“The name has already been recorded, but the elder responsible for managing family identities isn’t here to stamp it. I’m heading to fetch him now—it’ll only take a few minutes…”
Boom.
Before Thomas could finish, a deafening explosion echoed across the estate. Three hundred meters away, a sixth-floor window shattered, and a gray-haired old man leapt out, landing headfirst onto the stone pavement below.
???
“You’re the new identity manager now.”
As the golden-haired man gawked in disbelief, the possessed “butler” spoke coldly:
“Use your seal. If you don’t register him within ten seconds, I’ll find someone else.”
…
Hearing the ultimatum, Thomas’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the floor. Scrambling forward on all fours, he grabbed the family registry, flipped to the last page, and slammed his seal down with trembling hands.
I won!
Watching the crooked seal stamped onto the registry and feeling the surge of power as the new member was integrated, the “old butler” finally relaxed, his confident smirk returning.
His current strength was nowhere near its peak, leaving him with few options against someone like Leon, whose individual prowess stood out so starkly. But as a former Greater Demon, his authority remained unparalleled. Once caught within the rules of his power, no one—not even True Gods—could resist.
…
“Leon Lion.”
Withdrawing his consciousness from the old butler, Bobby transferred it into a new host. Controlling the frail body, he walked to the third-floor window, flung it open, and bellowed confidently at Leon seventy meters away:
“Die!”
The raspy command reverberated through the air. At its sound, Leon faltered slightly, feeling his soul yanked out and placed inside an illusory pyramid. Within this spectral structure, nearly a hundred thousand souls were arranged in tiers—and from the second tier, a commanding force issued an irresistible order.
But…was it really unavoidable?
Checking his position, Leon discovered—to his surprise—that his soul was also on the second tier. With a slight tremor, his soul instinctively responded with defiance, lashing back with a mental needle strike.
“Go to hell.”
???
How is this possible? Why are you on the second tier?!
Bam.
Bobby’s eyes widened in shock as his command failed. Before he could react, darkness engulfed his right eye, and control of the body slipped away—cut off by Leon’s fatal counterattack.
“Thomas!”
Realizing something was wrong, Bobby immediately seized control of the old butler again and snapped at the golden-haired man still gasping for breath on the ground:
“What did you do?!”
“W-what? What did I do?!”
“That Leon Lion—he’s now eligible to inherit a title. He’s not my subordinate! Damn it! I told you to list him as a distant relative in the registry, not give him inheritance rights!”
“I—I didn’t! I swear!”
Fumbling with the registry, Thomas flipped frantically to Leon’s page and held it up to the “butler’s” face, shaking as he protested:
“I listed him as a distant relative, Master Bobby! Look—it clearly says so!”
So it wasn’t a mistake?
After double-checking the seals and finding no errors, Bobby pieced together the truth. That accursed man truly was a member of the Lion family—and worse, he had legitimate inheritance rights.
His abilities hadn’t triggered earlier because Leon’s name hadn’t been officially registered. Now that it was, his status had been recognized, granting him rightful standing. Even though his place in the line of succession was far behind, according to the hierarchy of power, Bobby—still merely a successor himself—had no authority to issue commands to him.
In that case…there was nothing he could do.
Staring at the thick family registry, the “old butler’s” expression shifted between frustration and defeat. Taking a deep breath, he slumped unconscious.
At the same moment, a maid sleeping outside Duke Lionheart’s room suddenly opened her eyes. Rising swiftly, she retrieved a pair of scissors from the wardrobe and strode purposefully toward the duke’s bedroom…
