Chapter 1168: Draco's Reaction



"Retards, all retards!"

His words were not muffled or suppressed, and everyone could hear it. The faces of Dominic and Fyre became stiff, but they could only sigh in agreement when they thought back to that era and its events.

As for the others, the elders lowered their heads while the youngsters felt a bit unhappy that their parents and elders were being openly insulted like this. One especially could not tolerate it and stepped forward with bloodshot eyes.

"Impudent! How dare you speak of your forbears this way?! Is that how you were raised?!" Dominic\'s son stepped forward to shout with a hint of condensation in his voice.

Surprisingly, Draco didn\'t strike him nor did he get angry. Rather, he smiled and folded his arms while glancing at the fellow.

"That\'s exactly the problem isn\'t it? I wasn\'t raised by my forbears, instead, I was abandoned to the world because of their incompetence."

This word caused deeper silence to fall and even Dominic\'s son didn\'t know what to say for a while, for he was privy to the details of what happened at the time, but he only had a vague idea, like Eva.

They heard it from word of mouth, but did not actually see it, so it was likely some parts were \'edited\' due to embarrassment and to tone down the negative impact. Thinking like this, Draco became bored and decided to handle things himself.

"Since you all doubt me, especially my age mates, how about we take a look for ourselves, eh?" Draco said with a deceptively friendly smile.

He snapped a finger and isolated the space of the clan hall from reality, causing everyone to enter apparition form by taking their souls out of their bodies.

Eva sensed his thoughts and sighed but did not hesitate to stop time in the clan hall and then reverse time around herself and the apparition of everyone from the Lucifer Lineage.

Of course, this excluded the core members who followed along as well as Fyre and Dominic. These two were surprised by the events ongoing, but they were even more shocked to view the outside world, in which one could see the same events Draco just experienced.

From the friendship and camaraderie to World War II, the fight between the sisters that almost broke up the lineage, the birth of Draco, Eva and Shuangtian, the sacrifice of Gremory, the fight, the betrayal of Dominic, the Primogenitor Giant, the betrayal of Matteo and the resolution by Lilith.

Everyone was forced to watch it in silence from the third person point of view, unable to affect the events no matter how much they wanted. Surprisingly, the ones calmest were Fyre and Dominic, who only watched everything with complicated looks.

One thing about life was always growing and looking back at your past actions with a new light. At the time, you felt your actions and choices were the correct ones, but after growing a bit and experiencing life, you would realize the folly of your thoughts.

This was why most people had regrets because they made decisions or had thought processes in the past that they now realize were harmful or wrongful. This went for Fyre and Dominic especially.

Fyre finally realized how narrow-minded she had been as she watched things from an omniscient point of view. She could see that from the very beginning, Dante had never looked at her with sexual interest.

However, from the moment they hit puberty, Dante often cast covert glances at her sister\'s growing backside but clearly he did not want to compromise their friendship so he never made a move.

When Lilith eventually brought herself to the table and seduced him, how could he hold back? It was a foregone conclusion, which was why Dante was baffled by Fyre\'s reaction. From his point of view, he had never showed any interest towards her nor did he promise her anything, so what right did she have to be angry and jealous?

For Dominic, he had not been present during the decision to operate on Gremory, and he saw that Dante had refused the motion many times until he had been overwhelmed by the other elders who were desperate to save the prodigy.

Surprisingly, even Lilith didn\'t say anything, only sitting there with red eyes while comforting baby Draco. There was relief on her face when the decision was made for sure, but there was also guilt too.

This shocked Dominic, especially when he saw the scene where Dante came to visit him and promised to trade his life for Gremory\'s. With the knowledge he now had, that scene took on a different meaning altogether and Dominic couldn\'t help but feel moved.

The others were just flabbergasted from beginning to end. Those who were alive during that era looked at their past actions and sighed deeply, knowing that everything had been revealed to the younger generation.

The younger generation, meanwhile, were completely disillusioned. Their shoulders slumped and their minds were in a daze as they understood everything, and they couldn\'t help but come to the same conclusion as Draco.

Their parents and elders were… complete retards. Their lineage suffered from an intense mental problem involving IQ because nothing they were seeing made sense when they parsed it, even when they put themselves in the same situation.

No one knew when, but Austin suddenly burst into laughter, which was soon mimicked by the other core members who had come here with Draco except for Fyre and Henry who felt ashamed.

Draco also smiled, while Eva shook her head and Shuangtian couldn\'t resist smiling. After all, they were watching prime clownery at work, so how could they not laugh?

All these members that Draco brought with him had suffered tragedies in the past as a result of this event in the Lineage\'s history, almost all of them either losing their family or growing up ignorant about it.

Now that they had come to find out what had happened that led to their families\' demise, they were amused due to how stupid it all was. Of course, for the parties involved, there were emotions, thoughts, interest, and pride attached, but who cared about all that?

Draco nodded to Eva who returned them to normal time, and Draco released everyone back to their bodies. He had no intention of altering time when things go so far back. It was one thing to fix events in a few days or at most, within a few years but to do something almost two decades ago especially involving so many tumultuous events would change too much.

Besides, he had other things on his mind. Glancing at his uncle who was still seated on the clan throne, Draco spoke to him faintly.

"Uncle Dominic, take me to see my cousin."

Draco referred to him like this because now that he knew the full story, he sympathized with his uncle the most. Not only that, he had his current life thanks to his uncle, aunty and especially his cousin\'s sacrifice so the least he could do was see her and see what he could do for her.

Dominic heard Draco\'s words and his breath caught. He immediately stood up and almost knelt down, but Draco casually prevented him.

"Don\'t kneel and beg for this. Not only do you deserve it but it is my obligation," Draco shook his head and said.

Dominic did not say anything more and led Draco deeper into the clan\'s territory through a back door, passing through various hallways to come to a very quiet and remote area. Before he led them in, Dominic turned to Draco and hesitated.

"Lilith has been severely injured since her actions back then. Her brain damage led to her developing severe Alzheimer\'s and her blindness requires others to care for her. Dante had been looking after her despite his own injury to his heart which crippled him, so they live near Gremory and provide company for her."

"Don\'t worry, I will go and see those two after I see my cousin," Draco said simply, causing Dominic to go silent.

After all, he was already damn lucky that his nephew somehow saw him in a positive light and was willing to call him \'uncle\'. Arguing for his brother and sister-in-law would be unwise and would push his already limited goodwill to the edge.

Eva and Shuangtian also followed along, more so because they wanted to see Gremory and Draco\'s parents properly. Eva had met them many times, but eventually cut off contact in the previous timeline when she started dating Draco in Boundless because she felt like she had betrayed them and the Lucifer Lineage prodigy.

Obviously, fate had a way of toying with people.
