As Lin Tao continued to stroke the lips of young Xiao Lei, a silver light flashed in front of him and vanished.
Lin Tao did not notice the silver flash, though. A lady rushed into a room in a certain mansion and placed a file in which Lin Tao's childhood image was pasted along with several details about his life.
"Another candidate has been selected." While the other person seated in the chair was looking at the picture of Lin Tao, she set down the file with a smile on her face.
He then pulled out a bag and handed it to the girl. You have been assigned to this boy; go and serve him for the family competition, as well as inform him of all the details and matters.
Even when he was talking, the man had the impression of being distant and cold.
Other workers were showing signs of excitement on their faces, but the man's face did not show much emotion.
"Give him five choices and see what he can do with the given requirement and asset; I will also promote him in the next round if..."
On the other hand...
When Xiao Lei awoke, she discovered that she was in a familiar setting, which made her feel nostalgic and made her look at Lin Tao with a heavy heart.
"Brother Lin..."
"I am sorry for deceiving you," As a flash passed through Lin Tao's mind.
Her emotions seemed to be speaking to him even though her lips were closed. Lin Tao saw several flashes of memories of her father being involved in an accident and another party threatening to break up with him.
Wherein Lin Tao began to understand why everything was working out so well against him, which caused his heart to grow icier and icier.
"Tell me everything, as I have said that you are my woman now, and you should not defy what I want to know from you."
Lin Tao sat and climbed onto the bed, clutching Xiao Lei's chin, causing her to stumble back, but a sharp pain down below caused her to cry.
Lin Tao felt a pang of regret as he brought the juice bottle he had purchased from that island beside him.
While Xiao Lei was looking at the strange juice packaging, when the bottle cap was opened, an enticing smell took her breath away.
As she held the bottle and thought about Lin Tao, she realized that if Lin Tao was truly a child of a typical family, everyone had known it all along.
"It's Xuan and someone else who pretended to be my boyfriend before, but the person who pretended to be my boyfriend before is dangerous; he killed a man right in front of me, but police didn't even manage to apprehend him despite being on the scene."
Lin Tao sighed, wondering, "How did I get mixed up in this mess?" Given his normal family and background, this type of thing should not have worried him.
But now a hedonist master of some super family was targeting me and especially the girls.
"Wait, why was I able to see all of those memories?" Unexpectedly, Lin Tao turned to face Xiao Lei, who was sipping juice and had a flush to her face but was otherwise acting normally.
He could, however, see the memories on his face as though he were watching a movie that had been temporarily imprinted on his retina.
"Is that also your function, system?" Lin Tao could only link it to the system, and when the system responded, Lin Tao became silent because the ability was not provided by the system.
But it was something connected to his bloodline that had awakened since he had bedded Xiao Lei.
[Host is experiencing Arcanine Trump Bloodline.]
[It is something you have discovered, and based on system records, this trump card is known as "Heart Call." It is the capacity to perceive and understand the thoughts of a target.]
"You said bloodline, which is like something passed down through ancestry, right?" Lin Tao murmured again, but this time there was no response because the system also restricted access to the knowledge, so he had to raise the cost of the island to make it function more fully.
[Incidental-Quest: Accept your ancestry gift from an agent.]
[Reward: a McLaren P1 Sport Car] [Desire]
[Initiative-Quest: dominate the agent's heart and body.] [Quest Time: 1 month]
[Reward: Unknown] [Lust]
Lin turned to look at the map to see where the quest target was traveling—toward his apartment building—and based on the speed, Lin was certain that he or she was driving her car all the way here at high speed.
"Let's go and meet her at the bottom of the stairs."
Lin muttered as he patted Xiao Lei's head and told her to go to sleep after drinking, which Xiao Lei found surprising given that the drink had already relieved her pain and she knew it was something very expensive that Lin had purchased for her.
"Hmm, be alright."
There was still guilt and unease in her heart, but as if looking at him, her worry seemed to be vanishing from her life.
While she could only nod her head and lay down, given that it might have been impossible for her to walk in this condition, she blushed as she recalled her proactive approach an hour ago.
"Hmm, take proper rest, given that I have not had my fill yet."
"This night is going to be a long one for both of us." Knowing that she might be feeling guilty, this approach of his will preserve her heart, as she will take all of this as punishment for her act.
Although, somewhere in his heart, Lin Tao had already forgiven her for what she had done and was angry with those who had pushed her that far in either lifetime.
"Hmm, I'll be sleeping then, but Lin Tao, what should I do for my father? He's not related to either of us, so why are they still hurting him?"
Xiao Lei's heart ached as she remembered her injured and frail father, and she only had one wish: to get him out of the operating room.
"You are my woman, and he is your father."
"So, you do not need to worry, given that I will handle that case myself."
Hearing his tone, Xiao Lei closed her tired eyes and slept, while Lin Tao opened the door and walked out, heading toward the ground floor, and waited until he saw a car approaching them, and inside it driving was a beautiful woman in official attire, carrying a tight suitcase.
She was startled when she first laid eyes on Lin Tao and noticed that he was smiling and seemed to have been waiting for her the entire time.
'Another freak, with the ability to see the future coming, or something that gave him important detail, given that this guy is going to be a tough nut if he had such abilities.' The woman was thinking, and Lin Tao could clearly hear her, which made him smile.
"I do not have such an ability, so you did not need to worry about anything, miss."
Given that she was now tasked with working with Lin Tao, the woman almost fell when she heard his words. She glared at him warily and shook her head.
As a result, it was preferable to take the hard road and win his trust rather than letting her suspicions about Lin Tao's skills grow.
"That's a good choice because I want to learn about my family, and there shouldn't be any lies in it because I can feel them," Lin Tao said.
Eloria nodded as she observed Lin Tao and thought that this must have been her first encounter with a master with such a strong head as this one.
He had complete control over everything, including how he looked and felt.
He also gave off the strange impression that he was keeping his distance from her and was unaffected by her beauty, which made her realize that this customer would be difficult to please but easy to do business with.
"Okay, but there is a restriction that has been placed on me, and I will only answer those questions that are thought to be under certain rules," Eliore said, as she clearly drew a line between them. Lin Tao smiled and nodded as he looked at her body.
Which exclude mature charm to her, and asked first question.
"The first question is... what is your position with me? Or, indirectly, I want to know if I can order anything from you or not." Even though he put on a calm expression, his gaze was totally filled with lust, which made Eloria back up a little.
