Lawrence and Ashton continued heading deeper into the cemetery. Smiling, Lawrence said, “Here is where the heads and deputy heads of the Legion are buried.”

Ashton looked at the gravestones of past leaders standing quietly in the dark. When he saw the names, each of which had once made the world quake at its very mention, his heart churned with emotion.

It was as if he could see them slashing their way through obstacles, sacrificing themselves to uphold the ideals they believed in. What a glorious sight it would’ve been!

A few minutes later, they reached the end of the cemetery. Lawrence pointed to one of the gravestones and said, ” Do you want to know who your father is?”

“Who is he?” Ashton asked, his heart jumping to his throat.

“Truth be told, I don’t know who he is, exactly,” Lawrence slowly replied. “But I do know he belongs to the same bloodline as this legionnaire right here–he’s also from the Drake family!”

“The Drake family?”

It was Ashton’s first time hearing about them.

After noting Ashton’s expression, Lawrence explained, “The legionnaire buried here is Quentin Drake, once the deputy head of the Legion. He was a founding hero of Casoria, having earned his glory through countless battles and the slaughter of numerous enemies.

“In his veins flowed the blood of the Drakeborne lineage. He was the founding father of the Drake family and a truly remarkable man. The same blood runs in you.”

Ashton’s eyes widened. He found it hard to believe. Could he really be descended from the deputy head of the Legion and a founding hero of the nation?

“To be honest with you, I possess a secret method of discerning the origins of a person’s energy and life force. The moment I laid eyes on you, I could tell you bear the Drakeborne lineage and are a descendant of the Drake family.

“Those with the Drakeborne lineage are affected by the innate trait of lust. Whenever they reach a breakthrough in their cultivation, they find it challenging to control their rage and lust.

“Am I right?”

Frowning, Ashton nodded. “Who is my father, then? What’s his name?”

“I don’t know,” Lawrence replied. “All I can do is discern from your life force that you possess the Drakeborne lineage. I have no means of figuring out who your father is.”

“Are you saying that I’ll be able to figure out his identity if I pay a visit to the Drake family?” Ashton asked.

He didn’t care about lineage or bloodline, but he had many questions for his irresponsible father.

“You can’t seek out the Drake family!” Lawrence stated grimly.

“Why not?”

“If the Drake family learns of your existence, they will stop at nothing to kill you. If that happens, no one can stop them, not even me.”

Lawrence’s expression was somber, and his voice was grave. “The Drake family prizes the purity of their

bloodline to an extreme extent. They won’t allow the lineage to be diluted and spread out elsewhere.

“Any member of the Drake family who possesses the Drakeborne lineage must marry someone with the same lineage to ensure the purity of the bloodline. If a Drake bears a child with an outsider, the child would be ruthlessly killed at once. The family won’t allow any child with such ‘tainted‘ lineage to survive.”

Lawrence continued, “Your mother is an ordinary woman, Ashton, so naturally, she couldn’t have given birth to a child with pure Drakeborne lineage. Therefore, if the Drake family discovers you, you’ll be wiped from existence.

“Also, I can tell you with absolute certainty that in your present state, you are no match for the Drake family.”

The words were heavy and fraught with danger.

Ashton’s expression stiffened as he quickly asked, “If they find out about my Drakeborne lineage, will my mother’s life be in danger?”

“Of course!” Lawrence responded somberly. “Considering the Drake family’s way of doing things, they would certainly wipe out anyone who has any connection to you, including your mother, sister, and daughter. They must all die, too.”

Ashton shuddered. For the first time ever, he felt a deep sense of terror—a crushing sense of dread that swept over him!
