Chapter 3 - Planning

"Appraise."

The system began appraising the blood, and since it would take a while to finish, he decided to set some goals to accomplish in the near future.

First I have to find out who sent the assassin this time. But first, I need to catch that damn assassin. She is the only clue I have to catch the mastermind behind my assassination. A cold glint filled with immense killing intent flashed across his eyes for a second before disappearing.

Next I have to deal with elder Rose, she's a major suspect in this assassination since I found out about her secret. I don't believe it's a coincidence I got sent such an assassin two days after discovering her secret. Besides, she has the power to assign such a deadly assassin so fast. A lewd smile appeared on Adrian's face, from his expression it can be said that whatever he is planning for the elder dragon is not something good.

Next I have to deal with those bitches, so called wives. They are gonna pay for every bruise, every broken bone, the depression I have suffered, they will pay dearly. Though now what do I do with the innocent ones. Though not completely innocent, they at least didn't send assassins to harass me.

Next I'll have to deal with the royal family.

While thinking of how to deal with his parents and siblings, he heard a notification from the system.

[ Ding! Innate talent unlocked. ]

Another mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[ Ding! Main system functions has been enhanced to alpha level. ] Main system refered to Zero.

Adrian felt dizzy with all the system notifications ringing in his mind.

" Status."

" Damn, compared to before, I feel like I have been reborn." Adrian could feel it. A new kind of energy was flowing along with his blood. He was slightly surprised by the new sensation. The new energy was his mana. He couldn't feel it before because his meridians were damaged, as such mana produced by his heart couldn't flow normally. It seemed was quite lucky his meridians were damaged, if they were broken he would have become a cripple.

What he didn't expect was a new round of notifications with new surprises.

Adrian felt like he was strike by lightning.

" rumbling!" He was taken out of his stupor by the rumbling of his stomach, as if telling him ' let's celebrate.' He decided to check out the new system changes after having a good meal.

" It feels like I have not eaten anything for ages." He felt like he could devour anything at this point. Without wasting time, he got out bed and walked out of his room. From the memories of the previous Adrian, he reached the dinning hall.

" I should get something to eat in the kitchen."

" Young master? " Adrian was about to head to the kitchen when he heard someone's voice.

Turning around, Adrian widened his eyes slightly seeing a figure sitting on the chair, he was surprised because he hadn't detected anyone in the room when he came in. Perhaps he was so engrossed in his own thoughts. He quickly recovered his expression gazing back at the figure on the chair." You're...

He tried remembering who the individual was from the memories of the previous Adrian while questioning her but failed to recognize who it was.

The individual on the chair was shocked to see Adrian.

Isn't he supposed to be unconscious at at his deathbed. She asked herself in her mind.

" Who are you?" Adrian questioned her with a calm tone of voice while studying her attentively. At the same time she was also studying him the same way. Though she was quick to hide her shocked expression, it didn't escape the eyes of someone like Adrian who had lived several lives and delt with beings as powerful as gods. So seeing her change in expression, he was ready claim her life if she had any ideas for him.
