Vincent Walker ' Hmm... Is this skill active? ' Vincent asked his system after reading about his only skill available.

Eve " No, It will only be activated after you complete the major Quest " She replied to his question.

Vincent Walker ' I see.... What about the attribute points? Can i add them? ' He asked curiously.

Eve " Yes, but if you add and passed the human limit, the quest will update and request Four Progenitors Venom, Which will make you automatically fail the quest as there are only two vampire progenitors " 

Vincent Walker ' You said human limit, what happens if I cross that limit ' He asked.

Eve " Uhmm crossing the limit will make you go bye bye "

Vincent Walker '....'

Eve " The humans of this earth gained adaptability from the Progenitor of humans, Adam, But there's only so much this adaptability can take them, The strongest normal human on this earth has their attributes at max 1.5, And strongest human from the Inquisition Organization can push this limit all the way to 5.9, the rest they show is just the results of blessings they received from angels " she answered, adorned with her specks and cane.

Vincent Walker ' Why does my blood require three vampire venoms to transform ' He asked a bugging question.

Eve " Oh that? It's like this, A vampire from the Prime universe can change a normal human into a vampire through the bite, but a normal human can't change a vampire into a human, Do you understand? " she said as she shifted her glasses which made them glint.

Vincent Walker ' So basically, My blood is so high grade that it requires the combined efforts of three vampire progenitor's venom to transform ' He thought with the side of his head resting on his fist.

Eve " Yes!! ?? ?? ?? you got it! am I a good teacher or what? " She flew around the living room with confetti flying everywhere but they disappeared when they touched the ground.

Vincent Walker ' What about the Venom of the Blood Dragon Progenitor? Will it be enough to change my race? ' Vincent ignored Eve's Antics as he asked another question.

Eve " Huh? The Blood Dragon Progenitor? Yes, His venom will be enough to transform you, But you may not become a Blood Dragon " She said with a thoughtful look.

Vincent Walker ' .... Why is that? ' He asked curiously.

Eve " You see among all the RH blood grades, Perfect is very different as it is almost sentient, It chooses it's own path most of the time, for example if you were to be bitten by the Blood Dragon progenitor, It can choose to either become a Blood Dragon, A Vampire, A Dragon or even another variation of a Blood Dragon.

That's why the Quest reward says 'Unique Race', Even I don't know what kind of race you'll become " ' Even though it chose the same race the past four times, it can change this time ' she said as she shrugged.

Vincent Walker ' I see, About the Quest, Will I really die if I don't complete it? ' Vincent asked without an shred of worry.

Eve " Hmm? Oh about that- You have a guest, well guests " Eve said as she turned her gaze towards the front door.

Vincent arose and headed for the front door and opened it when he did he Victor outside about to push the bell button, and standing next to him was Violet and Kaguya.

Vincent ignored Violet and Kaguya and spoke to Victor.

Vincent Walker " Took you long enough, Come in " He said before he turned around and walked into the house.

Eve " Vin, Natalia is inside Kaguya's shadow " Eve said to Vincent, Which Vincent noted but continued walking.

When they got to the living room, Vincent sat on the couch comfortably and Victor with Violet sat opposite him, while Kaguya stood behind them.

They were in silence for a few seconds, Victor didn't know how to start the conversation, Should he start from his company or the conversation they had with their father.

Vincent Walker " Victor, You're looking a little different, What happened? " ' There's a hint of white in his hair, Is that due to his blood grade? ' He asked Eve mentally.

Eve " Yes " Eve answered confirming his suspicion.

Vincent Walker ' I see '

Victor Walker " ... I don't know brother, What do you think happened? " He asked looking at his brother's Impassive face.

Vincent Walker " .... I see, Father told you something, What Did He Say? " Vincent asked and for the first time in a long time, Vincent felt rising anger from Vincent.

Victor Walker " .... He told me enough " He replied, focused on their connection, But sudden the anger disappeared which left Victor Confused.

Vincent Walker " So he said nothing, That's good, I'm guessing you came here looking for answers, I'm sorry brother, but I can't tell you anything " He said impassively, His words angered Victor and with being a newborn his anger was getting uncontrollable, Vincent also felt it.

Victor Walker " Why? Don't tell me any bullshit about not being ready, I have had it with your riddles, Every time I ask you something important, you always say later or I'll find out later, I'm tired of waiting " Victor said as he stood up, With all this kaguya and Violet were silent.

Vincent Walker " .... You're not ready " Vincent said calmly.

Victor Walker " Vincent!! " Victor yelled as he stood in front of Vincent, But Vincent showed no reaction or a change in expression.

Vincent Walker " Victor.... I have dream.... Make it come through I don't need anyone, I started alone, I had friends, a Family.... But they all left..... I'll become strong, Strong enough to need only myself " As he said these words, Victor felt great pain from him, pain that made him take a step back.

Eve "...."

Violet / Kaguya / Natalia " ?? " The three girls were confused as they saw Victor step back.

Victor Walker " W-what happened to you? " Victor asked in shock as he felt the pain disappear like it was never there.

Vincent Walker " Everyone have their own battles to fight, You do too, and so do I, you don't need me for your battles Victor... and I don't need you for mine either " Vincent said as he turned his gaze away.

Victor Walker " What sort of nonsense is that? sure everyone has their own battles, But we are different, We're brothers, Twins for fucks sake, I'll drag you into my battles even if you don't want me to and I'll involve myself in all of yours, So talk to me brother " Victor said as he held his brother's shoulder.

Vincent Walker " You don't understand Victor, I am broken, beyond repair..... I can't trust anyone not even myself " Vincent said as he turned his head away.

Victor Walker " Then trust me, You can feel it right? We're different, you would be able to tell way before I have the chance to break your trust " Victor said sincerely.

Vincent knew that Victor was right and knowing his true nature from the story and spending the past Twenty One years together, But did he still have it in him to trust against? After spending thousand of years in illusions were his trust was broken again and again.

Vincent Walker " .....*Sigh* Fine, I'll try, But don't get your hopes up " He said after sighing.

Victor Walker " That's good enough, Thanks bro " Victor said as he smiled, he was about to turn and go back to his seat but stopped after hearing the next words of Vincent.

Vincent Walker " Even if I ever trust you, Don't think I'll tell you anything that will drag you to your death " Vincent said after sitting.

Victor Walker " Then what do I have to do to get involved in your problems " Victor asked without turning around.

Vincent Walker " Strength Victor, Become strong..... Strong enough to help me " 

Victor Walker " Of course, That's Obvious " He said smiling before he sat down beside Violet.

Vincent Walker " I'm guessing she's one of the reasons you dropped by " Vincent said after finally looking at Violet for the first time since she arrived.

Victor Walker " Ah yeah Meet Violet my- " He was caught short mid sentence by Vincent.

Vincent Walker " Wife.... Is that what you wanted to say? " Vincent said impassively.

Violet / Kaguya / Natalia " ?! "

Victor Walker " ... Yeah, How do you know that? Did Father tell you? " He asked curiously.

Vincent Walker " No, No he did not, She is Violet Snow, Currently Twenty three years old, Daughter of Adonis Snow and Agnes Snow, The Girl standing behind her is Kaguya Blank her personal maid " He said looking at Victor with his emotionless face.

Violet / Kaguya / Natalia " !!! " They were all shocked beyond belief.

Victor Walker " ??? Wait What? How do you know all of that? " Victor asked surprised.

Vincent Walker " Little brother, There's nothing about you, I don't know of " He said looking at Violet.

Violet Snow " .... " ' Why is he looking at me? Could it be?... ' 

Victor Walker ' What does mean by that? Is it because of the connection? That can't be right, I don't know what Violet parents name are ' Victor was lost in thought.

Vincent Walker " Victor, How many wives do you have?.... Currently " Vincent asking seeing Victor in deep thought.

Violet Snow " !!! " Violet was just receiving shock after shock.

Victor Walker " Huh? ' Currently? ' One obviously, Why do you ask? " He said tilting his head.

Vincent Walker " So she haven't told you.... You have two other wives, One is called Ruby Scarlett and the other Sasha Fulger- " As soon as he send Sasha's name Violet shot at him and held Vincent by his neck.

Violet Snow " Don't . Say . Another . Word " Violet said threateningly.

Vincent Walker " Move Your Hand " Vincent said without any change in expression or tone.

Victor Walker " Violet " As soon as Violet heard her name from Victor, she did a One Eighty in her actions and walked up to him.

Violet Snow " I'm so sorry darling, I don't know what came over me " She hugged him and started running her hands all over his body as if she was casting some kind of spell on him.

Victor Walker " It's okay Violet, But is it true? " Victor asked as soon as he did Violet eyes glowed red as she glanced at Vincent in pure hatred.

Victor took Violet away after she told him all that transpired the night of the ritual, and the other two Vampires that were with her.

After Violet explained to him, He question Vincent of how he came to know so much but Vincent said nothing even when Kaguya and Violet were staring daggers into him he didn't burge.
