Chapter 30: Be Ready For Me
Lukas stopped thinking about Raymond’s matter. Although Amara said she wasn’t sure of her conjecture, he knew this was most likely the case, so there was no need to think about it any longer.
The slight crease of his brows smoothened out and after a moment’s silence, he began, "When I said I had undergone the second awakening today and had managed to reach Low 1-Star in just half an hour, I wasn’t lying."
The look in Amara’s eyes changed at his words.
"From this, you can see my potential. It wouldn’t take me much time to become stronger than Raymond and take control of this family." continued Lukas before shaking his head,
"But let’s not talk about the future. After I reveal my potential, given his nature, Raymond is most likely to drop his plans to kill me and if he isn’t too greedy, he should treasure me to boost his standing in the Rivervale family."
"If the latter happens, I’ll go to Green Stone City and would take you along, effectively saving you from him."
Amara mulled it over before asking, "Why would he allow me to go with you?"
"Because if he does not, I’ll tell him that if he does not let you come with me, the Rivervale family will find out he wants to forcefully possess you." said Lukas calmly before continuing,
"Perhaps you are not aware, but there is a rule that unless at least one of the parties involved is a 5-Star Mage, inbreeding isn’t allowed. Anyone who is found breaking this rule will be killed by the Warriors of Saintess Temple. This is why even the Royal Families that used to practice inbreeding in ancient times no longer do it."
Lukas wasn’t bullshitting at this moment but was telling the truth. Since original Lukas couldn’t do much to pass his time in his room, he had started reading all kinds of books except those that had something to do with mages.
Therefore, he possessed knowledge about many things that ordinary people and even many mages might not be aware of.
Amara’s eyes lit up and her breathing rate even increased when she heard him. She could finally see a ray of hope.
