Chapter 1146: Those Who Never Change.
In a bar, Andrew, Edward, and Fred looked at the parade with a look full of admiration.
"Our friend has become absurd," Fred said. "He became a Warhammer emperor."
"Idiot, do you want to get banned? Stop that." Andrew hit him on the head. "Fix that wall already!"
"Tsk, fine." Fred took some duct tape and quickly fixed the slightly cracked fourth wall.
"You guys don’t change, huh? Still idiots."
"..." Fred and Andrew looked at the werewolf and rolled their eyes.
Andrew snorted: "Says the shiny vampire. Did you get some sunlight today?"
"Andrew, Andrew, you know he can’t," Fred spoke.
"Ah, that’s right. If he gets some sunlight, he’ll shine like a princess."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" The two laughed mockingly.
Veins bulged on Edward’s head. Years had passed, but this joke remained just as annoying as ever. He wasn’t a vampire, damn it! He was a werewolf!
"So these are your friends, Leader. They are... Peculiar."
"..." Edward looked at Johnny, his older brother from another mother, and then looked at Adam, his father, who was drinking in silence.
"For God’s sake, you’re my brother, you can act normally when we’re not in the Clan’s territory."
"Respect is necessary for the new Alpha."
Edward rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath. "It’s not like I wanted to become the Alpha, it’s a thankless job."
"Observe the attitude of your older brother, Alpha. That’s what a true subordinate is, HAHAHAHAHAHA." Adam laughed.
More veins popped out on Edward’s head: "You clearly don’t respect me."
"Why should I? I’m retired." Adam smiled with that annoying smile that reminded him of Victor.
Edward had always thought that Victor was heavily influenced by his father, but now he was certain that it was true. Honestly, Edward was very envious of his father; he wanted to be retired too! Damn it, being the leader was exceptionally annoying!
The bar’s door opened, and soon four white-haired women entered: Maya Elizabeth Elderblood, Leona Elizabeth Elderblood, Bellatrix Lykos, and Leone Elena Luna Elderblood, Leona and Victor’s daughter.
"Hmm? What are you doing here, Leona? Shouldn’t you be at the parade?" Fred asked.
"Only the legion commanders, the Empress, the Emperor, and the supreme commander are participating, and my position is currently being occupied by my sister; therefore, I’m off~."
"Leone!!!" Adam ran and hugged Leone.
"Gah, Grandpa, stop that!" Reacting on instinct, Leone gave her grandfather a German suplex, and the sounds of bones breaking could be heard.
"... Still strong as ever." He gave a thumbs-up while remaining on the floor.
"Humpf." She snorted.
Leone was a tall girl due to her family’s genes. She was 185 CM tall, with long snow-white hair that reached her waist, a toned body from training, a slender figure, and deep violet eyes that were common among Victor’s children.
She looked like a younger version of Leona with violet eyes, but if you looked carefully, you would see that she inherited Victor’s face. And considering that he was the personification of beauty, she was extremely beautiful, just like all of his daughters.
Edward, Leona, Bellatrix, and Johnny put their hands on their faces in exasperation.
"How did my father evolve into this old man when my daughter is present?" Leona asked.
"Honestly, that’s something I want to understand too," Edward said.
The door opened again, as another woman entered.
"Mira, you’re here." Maya smiled gently.
"Yes, Mother."
Mirabelle Elizabeth Elderblood, Maya and Victor’s daughter, like her sister Leone, inherited quite a lot of the characteristics of the Lykos Clan, with the only difference being that her body was more voluptuous. She completely inherited her mother’s tanned skin tone, with deep violet eyes, short snow-white hair that reached her neck, and a voluptuous and toned body with six-pack abs, very typical of the girls of the Lykos Clan. She was a little shorter than her sister, standing at only 182 CM tall.
"Honestly, Victor’s genes are wildly unfair. How the hell are his daughters so beautiful?" Andrew couldn’t help but comment.
"Are you calling my sister ugly?" Edward, Adam, who had suddenly stood up, and Johnny looked at Andrew with a look that said: choose your words carefully.
Andrew began to be covered with a cold sweat, and quickly added: "That’s not it, I’m just saying it seems like Victor blessed them or something. The beauty is clearly his!"
"Dude, that sounded very suspicious. Are you okay?" Fred shuddered. "I know that with that face, he is objectively handsome, but he is a man."
This time, it was Victor’s daughters, along with Maya and Leona, who looked at the duo with an expression similar to the Lykos men’s, being very possessive of Victor.
"Fred, don’t provoke them! You’re digging my grave here along with me!"
"Damn, that’s true," Fred muttered when he saw the women’s looks.
Leona rolled her eyes and spoke: "Forget the two fools, let’s sit down."
"Yes, Mother." Like two well-behaved ducklings, the daughters followed their mothers.
Andrew and Fred sighed in relief when they were saved by Leona.
The Elderblood women sat together, Bella sitting closer to Maya, and soon they began watching the parade.
"Johnny, where are your wives?" Maya asked.
"Taking care of the children."
After Jessica, his former lover, left and revealed herself to be someone from the Snow vampire lineage, Johnny began to value his companions more. Nowadays, he had even had children who were still young. After all, not everyone had gods of time in their family.
Victor’s family was the strange one for suddenly appearing with a bunch of already-adult children.
Even Maya herself became calmer after finding a strong partner. She stopped walking around looking for fights and was more at peace, focusing on the family’s projects and on training her daughters.
She wasn’t the only one, as the same could be said about many of Victor’s more impatient women. They had calmed down considerably with time, but behind that calmness was still the same personality as before. They simply didn’t need to express themselves as they had before.
"Here, take some water and stop making suspicious comments, dude."
"Thanks, and you’re right... Pfft." He spat it out. "This isn’t water, it’s pure alcohol!"
"It’s crystal clear, therefore, it’s water." Fred smiled while drinking.
"How the hell do you have a wife? How does she put up with you?"
"It’s simple, she’s just like me." He raised his chin proudly.
"Didn’t you have a harem?" Andrew narrowed his eyes.
"So what?"
"Are they all like you?"
"... That’s impossible. Do you think I have clones like my women or something?"
"Then how do they all put up with you?"
Fred clapped his hands and a rainbow formed: "Magik."
"I hate you."
"I know you don’t." Fred laughed.
Andrew snorted and went back to calmly drinking the ’water.’ With his new biology, it would be very difficult for him to get drunk.
Andrew, Edward, and Fred had basically won at life. As Victor’s close friends, they were quite influential and sought after by women. Don’t be fooled by their behavior in the bar, they were acting like this because they were in the company of trusted friends. Outside, they were quite feared and respected. There was a reason why they could have a harem, after all.
"Seeing you two react like this reminds me of the time when Victor was like this too," Leona remembered the time when Victor was around 10 years old, and he acted like a typical arrogant idiot of a child. Due to his illness, he became much quieter as time passed.
"He was a troublesome brat." Adam laughed. It could be said that he, Edward, and Leona were the ones who followed Victor the most as he grew up, followed shortly afterward by Andrew and Freed.
"Sometimes I envy you for having known him for so long," Maya said.
"Well, even if you had seen Victor in the past, you wouldn’t even have looked at him," Leona said.
"... That’s true." There was no point in sugarcoating the pill, as that was the absolute truth. She became interested in Victor because he was strong. If it weren’t for that fact, she wouldn’t even have looked at him.
The same applied to several other women in the Harem. Only Violet [being a stalker], Leona, and Anna had been with him from the beginning, and that was precisely why they had such a high hierarchy in the family.
While the people around them talked, Victor’s two daughters remained silent as they observed everything. This was the first time they had met their father’s old friends.
[They seem weak.] Mira made an objective comment to her sister.
Leone replied mentally. [Everyone can be considered weak compared to us, sister.]
[That’s true, but as friends of our beloved father, they should be strong, shouldn’t they?] Mira insisted.
[Hmm, perhaps they’re hiding their power?]
[From our eyes?] Mira asked incredulously. [Impossible, they are far too weak for that. I could understand our mother hiding it from us, after all, they are strong, but them? Completely Impossible.]
[Yes, but they are our father’s friends, right? They must have something special.] Leone spoke.
[Hmm, that’s possible.] Mira did not deny it.
All of Victor’s daughters, without exception, inherited some kind of perception related to their eyes. The degree varied, with some born with this gift extremely strong, others born with it very weak, while many just had a reasonable level of power, but all of them without exception had it and could develop it further. Birth only indicated the starting point they had to train from. Because of this, all of them had deep violet eyes.
These eyes were similar to Victor’s, eyes that could see through the truth of the world. Nothing could be hidden from them.
While the two conversed mentally, Maya and Leona looked at each other with amused eyes. They were hearing everything their daughters were saying. Victor’s daughters were very biased toward their own Father. If other daughters were here, they would do the same thing.
The prejudice was very strong, and almost no one could earn their approval. Fortunately, their mothers had taught them well, so they would not behave like spoiled brats.
"Leona, can you ask the Divine Commander to train my children?"
"...." The entire group fell silent when they heard Johnny’s words.
Mari and Leone were the most shocked. After all, they knew their mother’s training regimen very well. Only sadistic lunatics would find that appropriate. They endured it because they were their father’s daughters; if it weren’t for that, it would be impossible.
Despite Scathach’s title officially being supreme commander of the Empire’s forces, many civilians, including deities, called her the Divine Commander, which was not an inappropriate title considering she commanded gods.
"My son, I may be sadistic and carefree, but even I wouldn’t send my children to that woman. Are you right in the head? No offense, my daughter." Adam spoke.
"I wasn’t offended. After all, it’s true." Leona shrugged. Even she thought that way. If she didn’t know her daughters’ abilities, she wouldn’t let Scathach train them.
"It’s fine. They won’t die, and even if they do, they can come back to life. What doesn’t kill them makes them stronger, and I don’t want my children to be weak."
"... That’s a carefree way of saying it," Edward said. He would never send his children to Scathach, never.
"It’s a good decision. The children will grow strong and disciplined." Maya nodded in agreement with Johnny’s decision.
’Of course you would agree, you’re just as crazy as that woman.’ Adam, Edward, Bellatrix, and Leona thought.
"I can ask Scathach to train them as a favor, and she will do it, but her standards are very high. Are you sure about this? They will suffer a lot. Honestly, at this point, it’s better to leave them to the enemies. I’m sure the enemies will be kinder than Scathach."
Johnny didn’t even think: "Yes."
"Very well, when they turn 21, just send them to the imperial capital." That was the imperial legal age if one wanted to join the army.
"Isn’t 21 years old too late?"
"Are you trying to make your children her disciples? That’s impossible. I can ask her to train them, but to become disciples, the decision is completely hers. She only gives attention to those who have raw talent." Leona explained. Even she couldn’t change this principle of Scathach.
What she could do was make Scathach give an individual a little more attention, but that wasn’t necessarily good for that individual. Everyone who knew Scathach’s training method knew this.
"I understand." Johnny was a little disappointed, but there was nothing more he could do. Insisting beyond this would be forcing the situation, and he would not do that. Everything depended on his children now.
