A Destained Young Master Villain

Chapter 3 Family Reunion

?After internally saying the term 'status' and scrutinizing the translucent, azure display that materialized directly in front of him.

Zen's eyes involuntarily widened in a momentary shock, and he sighed, remarking, "With status like this at such a young age, I have no idea how this dude even lost to the protagonist in the first place. I guess that's just how it is."

"Every novel villain is just designed and created for the sake of the protagonist's character development. Also, the author of that novel is ruthless. He designed Zenryx's character as an incompetent villain, making him lose his sanity miserably."

He had to admit that he did not expect such a status, but he guess that it was reasonable, as Zen went through rigorous training at a young age, around seven years old, if he remembers correctly.

What made his jaw drop was his innate abilities, which were Skill Devourer and Eidetic Memory.

He mulled through his memories. 'I remember that in the novel Zenryx did not possess such broken innate abilities. This might have come with the system, or maybe he had the possibility of unlocking these innate abilities.'

'It was just that it was never unlocked due to his incompetence, which makes sense. It was set as an innate ability on the screen, meaning I was naturally born with it.'

'knock knock knock'

While contemplating the specifics of his situation, he was suddenly and unceremoniously disrupted when a knock resounded upon his door. Accompanying the sound, a gentle feminine voice, spoke.

"Young master, may I inform you that your parents and your sister have arrived at your residence and are presently awaiting your presence in the lower level living area."

As Zen made his way towards the door, reflections on the event flooded his mind, recalling from the novel that Zenryx's parents were consistently preoccupied with their work, leaving them unable to visit him.

However, it dawned upon him in an instant! It was a customary gathering of their family that took place monthly.

He proceeded to unlock the door, casting a glance towards the maid who knocked on the door, duly referred to as Marie within the novel he read. She carried out the role of a personal attendant assigned to look after Zenryx's needs.

Zen revealed a gentle smile and conveyed, "Thank you for informing me. I will be right down in just a second."

Following what Zen conveyed a look of shock appeared on her face.

When Zenryx showed a tender smile directed at Marie. She was taken aback by bewilderment.

'What is going on with young master Zen? When was he able to make such a facial expression and he said Thank you?! and his smile? What the hell?'

'He is usually rude, and I have never even heard him utter a single word of thank you at least once. Since I was assigned here! He would always choose to coldly say, Ok, you can fuck off now, instead of saying, Thank you! Huh? Is the world ending or something?'

While Marie was occupied with her thoughts, Zen walked right past her and started walking down the stairs, looking down at the living room he saw three figures.

A gorgeous-looking woman and a tall, handsome man, which should be his father and mother. They both looked to be in their late twenties, but he knew in his mind that they were already in their late forties.

The reason for that is that the lifespan of the humans here can reach up to thousands of years if one can acquire the serum, which was developed by Sterling Keswick, who is from the Pontiac Academy.

It has the ability to restore damaged or missing cells, tissues, and organs to their prime condition.

Most of the nobles and high-ranking individuals have been injected with this serum. So the appearance of adults here is that of those who look to be in their early twenties and thirties.

Except for those who have lived for thousands of years and the average human who is unable to acquire the serum.

The serum which is called the Elixir of Life was invented four hundred years ago, so if those people who had an age ranging from thousands were injected with this serum, they would only slightly gain their youthful appearance.

The age of every individual can be ascertained by evaluating both their aura, mana, and the age of their bones.

Despite the revolutionary nature of the serum, the incorporation of aura and mana would also contribute significantly to the maintenance of a stable youthful appearance and healthy body.

Individuals who solely depend on serum for prolonging their life expectancy can only experience an extension of their lifespan of up to five centuries or even millennia, at best.

However, people who are Swordsman and Mage possess the capability to extend their lifespan to a remarkable period of ten millennia.

Zen's father, Randell Raverdieu, is the grand duke who also possessed terrifying prowess as a Heavenly Swordsman and is the current ruler of the Raverdieu family.

His mother, Elle Duragny Raverdieu, was revered as one of the strongest and first Magic Swordsman ever born. His mother is a Great Magister and a Royal Swordsmaster. She is also the lady of the Duragny family.

The level of swordsmanship rankings is categorized as Novice Swordsman, Elementary Swordsman, Intermediate Swordsman, Advanced Swordsman, Great Swordsman, Royal Swordsman, and Heavenly Swordsman.

As for the mages, the rankings are Novice Mage, Elementary Mage, Intermediate Mage, Advanced Mage, Great Mage, Magister, and Great Magister. My mother is one of the five Great Magisters of the Astre continent.

This was just the Astre continent alone. There was no way to count how many Great magisters existed on the entire planet of Pontiac, there were also those that hid in the dark.

Zen observed each of them with keen interest, initially fixating upon his mother, with whom he shares strikingly similar facial characteristics. Possessing silvery-white hair and shimmering silver eyes, while adorned in a sophisticated, black off-shoulder dress.

Then directed his attention towards his father, whose hair was a shade of dark gray and eyes were a matching shade of gray, stylishly attired in a suit. Following this, his gaze shifted toward his beautiful sister.

'Wow, this adopted sister of mine is really a beauty amongst beauties.'

She possessed resplendent golden hair, coupled with a pair of eyes that gleamed with the iridescent shade of pristine gold.

As he was walking toward them, He noticed that while he was scrutinizing them, they were also looking back at him.

But there was some difference, He looked at them with curiosity, and they looked at Zen with little confusion and a worried expression shown on their faces.
