As a bearer of a dragon soul, Dante''s actions will, whether willingly or unwillingly, be influenced by a dragon''s nature.


    And now, seeing as Dante had two Dragon souls, this influence on Dante could only be twice as lethal.


    And one such influence Dante gained was an obsession with treasure.


    You see, for dragons, the pleasure gained from havingrge amounts of wealth was unimaginable.


    For a better choice of words, it was almost drug-like!


    And it was this drug like feeling that caused a dragon''s obsession over treasure to be strong that it was practically engrained in their very souls!


    Even the strongest of Dragons would sumb to their desires when faced with intoxicating pleasure that treasures would give them.


    Much less Dante, who only currently held a fraction of the power that the strongest Dragons could have.


    Faced with the temptation of treasures, Dante couldn''t even resist, or more correctly he didn''t even want to!


    Dante didn''t seem to care about the displeased look on Reba''s face as he called


    "Next!"


    The guards outside seemed to hear his instructions, allowing for the next visitors toe in.


    Slowly the doors of the hall opened and in walked in an old man apanied by a middle-aged man who followed slowly behind him.


    The old man was a face we''d seen before.


    The man was none other than the Patriarch of the Baleview n,


    Rn Baleview.


    But Unlikest time we saw Rn, he was now in a much worse state.


    His body was more slouched and he had dark circles underneath his eyes that told the story of the stress his body was feeling


    Rn had been going through a rough period the past few days.


    After he warned his son not to mess with Dante, Rn still felt ufortable and went to check on Marco.


    After all, who would know their own son better than a father?


    Rn knew the son he had, and was worried that Marco would go and do something stupid, so he went to check up on him.


    But to Rn''s surprise, as he went to check up on Marco, he found that all traces of him had disappeared!


    But not just Marco, the whole of Marco''s family, from his wife to even his son, had all gone missing overnight!


    Rn had ordered aplete search of the npound and the capital in an effort to find any traces of Marco or his family


    But after an unfruitful search, Rn hade to a conclusion.


    And that was that Marco and the rest of his family were most certainly dead.


    Now with that Marco had been killed, it only left Rn with one culprit.


    From Rn''s knowledge, there was only one person who had hatred with Marco yet also had and courage and power to try to assassinate him.


    And that person was could only be Dante, The Dragon Son of the Hidden Dragon Academy.


    But even though Rn knew this, he still had a big problem on his hand.


    even with this knowledge, what could Rn do?


    Dante was clean enough to leave no evidence and he''d be a fool if he thought he could use a Dragon Son of murder with no substantial evidence.


    Not only that, even if he had evidence to prove Dante was the murderer, was he sure that Dante would even be convicted?


    Rn had been in the capital for countless years now, and he was someone truly knew the scene of the kingdom''s current judicial system, and he only had one word to describe it.


    Corrupt!


    It was corrupt to the core!


    The people in power were almost practically immune to the convictions of those weaker than them.


    Rn would definitely know this as he had been one of the people who abused his power tomit unspeakable crimes.


    To try and advance in the capital, all means of underhanded tactics and schemes had to be used.


    Although it seemed like a ce of rule andw, realistically, there was only one rule here,


    Might makes right!


    The person with the biggest fist rules!


    The only reason the royal family was able to the rule the kingdom for all these years was because they were the strongest and therefore they could impose their own rules on anyone.


    This bitter truth was the reason why Rn''s fear of Dante was so extreme.


    With Dante''s position as a Dragon son, he could easily orchestrate the destruction of the Baleview n.


    And now, with his ridiculous disy of potential at the Weing ceremony, it only made Rn fear Dante even more.


    But unlike Rn, who was in a sour mood, the man next to him was having a much more pleasant experience.


    The man was also one of Rn''s sons, and more specifically, he was Rn''s eldest son, Karther Baleview.


    As the eldest son of the Patriarch of the Baleview n, it was expected for Karther to be the next one to inherit the position of patriarch after his father retires.


    The only problem with this was that Rn believed that each of his children deserved a fair opportunity to develop and get the chance of inheriting his position as patriarch.


    Because of this, it had led to quite a toxic rtionship between all of Rn''s children.


    And for Karther, his rtionship with his brother Marco was especially bad. There had always beenpeting in open and in secret, with borate schemes and plots all trying to cause each other''s downfall.


    With the terrible rtionship between the two brothers, you can just imagine the joy that Karther felt when he found his brother had gotten into a conflict with a Dragon Son, of all people.


    But surprisingly for Karther, the news just kept getting better and better as soon his brotherpletely disappeared!


    Unlike everyone else in his n who feared or even resented Dante, Karther was overflowing with gratitude to the man.


    He practically got rid of all his problems!
