'What happened?' Blaze, Momon, and Walter thought simultaneously when they noticed the dangerous aura Octavius was emitting suddenly disappeared, and a horror-filled look appeared on his face.

They glanced at Evan and saw a wide smile on his face. A smile that Blaze and Walter were very familiar with.

'He is not going to mess with this guy as well, right? Even he won't be that bizarre, right?... Right?' Blaze and Walter thought at the stbecause they didn't want to attract Octavius's attention, but Evan's next words shattered their hope.

"Old man, you said your nis Octavius, right?"

'How is this possible? Was it my imagination? He's just a mid-level Rank One Core Evolver; there's no way he can do something like that.'

"Old man, are you listening?"

'Yes, it must have been my imagination. Only that guy can do something like that. Other than him, there is no one else who can do that thing.'

"Listen towhen I'm talking to you, you old fart." Suddenly, Evan shouted loudly and for a split second, he once again activated the sskill he had activated earlier.

Feeling the ssense of danger and hearing Evan's loud voice, the old man cback to his senses and nodded his head like a chicken.

'No, it's not my imagination; he can really use that thing.'

The old man started to sweat like a pig who was about to be slaughtered and gulped down his saliva when he realized his situation. Evan ignored the horror-filled look of the old man and once again asked the squestion.

"Your nis Octavius, right?"

"Yes," The old man nodded cautiously.

Hearing the old man, Evan rubbed his chin and suddenly, a look of realization flashed on his face.

"Now that I think about it, my great-grandfather's nwas also Octavius..."

Blaze and Walter's faces trembled when they heard Evan, and they looked at the old man with expressions that seemed to say, 'Welcto the family, old man.'

"Although I never met my great-grandfather in person, I once saw him in my dream, and his face was very similar to yours."

"I-is that so..." The old man's voice trembled as he sensed a very bad feeling from the way Evan was talking.

"Old man, was your son's nJames?"

Octavius shook his head. "His nwas Lucian."

"Oh really, what a coincidence; my grandfather's nwas also Lucian. Now I am a hundred percent sure you are my great-grandfather."

'Shameless Bastard!' Walter, Momon and Blaze nearly choked on their breaths and looked at Evan with their mouth agape.

Hearing Evan's words, the old man opened his mouth to say something, but no words cout.

'What kind of nonsense is this bastard talking about? I killed my son when he was five years old, so how can he have a grandson like you?' Octavius shouted inwardly and felt like slapping Evan to death.

"You stupid bastard son, what are you doing? Your great-great-grandfather is in front of you. Why are you not greeting him?" Evan suddenly looked at Walter and spoke in a serious tone.

"And you, sister, why are you spacing out? Aren't you happy to see our great-grandfather?"

Blaze and Walter, who had been observing everything with blank expressions on their faces snapped back to reality upon hearing Evan's voice and looked at Octavius with disbelief written all over their faces. They couldn't understand why Octavius was tolerating Evan's bizarre behaviour.

Octavius also observed his supposed fake descendants (Walter and Blaze) and felt a deep sense of camaraderie with them. It was as if he was looking at individuals who shared the spain as him.

Seeing Octavius gazing at them, Blaze and Walter were unsure of how to react. They were clueless about what was going on between Evan and Octavius, so they were unsure whether to call the old man grandfather or not.

"Well, it seems you guys are still in shock. That's understandable; after all, who would have thought that we would meet one of our family members here," Evan said with a sigh and shook his head when Blaze and Walter remained quiet.

Though there were many things that Walter, Blaze, and Octavius wanted to say upon hearing Evan's words, they decided to stay silent because all of them knew that arguing with Evan would only give them more headaches.

"Now, before we proceed with the trial and you tellmore about that cube..." Evan turned to Momon, who had been observing the family drama with interest. "We should take care of those who are not part of our family."

'That guy is the biggest variable here. I don't know what his connection with that cube is, but if what I saw through the Eyes of the Abyss is true, then I need to send him away as soon as possible, or this old man will swallow all of us.'

Contrary to Evan's outward playful expression, he was deadly serious inside and his mind was running at full speed, thinking about his next course of action.

When Momon heard what Evan said and felt his gaze on himself, a sense of foreboding washed over him.

"Great-grandpa, don't you think family matters should stay within the family? That man isn't part of the family, so he shouldn't be allowed to take part in this trial. Why don't you kick him out of here?" Evan suggested in a serious voice.

"What?" Momon's eyes widened in shock when he heard Evan and he looked at him with disbelief evident on his face.

Even a four-year-old child could tell that Evan had no real connection with Octavius and was just playing around.

Momon was utterly perplexed as to why Octavius, known as one of the most evil beings in the world was playing along with Evan.

"Ummm... I don't think that's a good idea. We won't be able to start the trial without him. Even though I am your... I am your great-grandfather, I can't bend the rules for you. This trial was created to find a suitable heir for my knowledge and this item," Octavius explained, pointing at the cube in front of him. "So, even though I also wish to keep these matters within the family, I can't do so because of the rules."

Momon sighed in relief upon hearing Octavius, the way Evan was speaking to the old man, he really thought that he would be kicked out of the trial without being able to take part in it.

'I don't know what is going on between them, but I won't forget this thing,' Momom said inwardly as he looked at Evan with narrowed eyes because he didn't like the fact that Evan wanted to kick him out of the trial.

"You can't do that because of the rules, huh," Evan said in a voice filled with disdain and sneered inwardly.

'If I didn't have the Eyes of the Abyss ability of Gobu, I would have believed you, but now I already know what you are planning,' Evan said to himself and showed a smile to the old man, a smile that sent shivers down the old man's spine.

"Great-grandpa, I really admire you. Even for your family, you are not willing to bend the rules so that everyone can compete fairly," Evan said in a voice filled with admiration, but suddenly, his eyes turned sinister and he said in a cold voice, "But great-

grandpa, your descendant is not as good as you. I am a selfish bastard who can do anything to get my hands on the things that I want."

Evan looked at Octavius with piercing eyes and said in a voice that sent a chill run down the old man's spine. "So I hope that you bend the rule for me, otherwise, I might do something that I would regret for the rest of my life."

*Gulp*

Octavius visibly gulped when he saw Evan's cold eyes and when he remembered the feeling he had when Evan activated his skill, his entire body shook. He looked at Momom with eyes filled with regret and sighed inwardly.

'It was such a good chance for me, but alas! I don't know what this demon will do if I don't listen to him.'

"You are right; things related to family should stay in the family," Octavius said and snapped his finger. The moment he snapped his finger, Momon's body started to disappear from the wooden tower.

Evan looked at the scene using the eyes of the abyss ability and nodded his head.

"Wait, you can't do this to me. I completed the tasks that yo—"

Before Momon could finish speaking, his body disappeared from the wooden tower.

'Tasks, huh...' Evan thought about the words that Momon spoke before he disappeared and his suspicion grew even stronger.

"Now..." Once Momom was kicked out by Octavius, Evan said out loud to attract everyone's attention. "Now that the person who wasn't part of the family is kicked out, let's start the last trial."

Octavius sighed in relief when he heard Evan and raised his hand.

"To complete the third—"

"Wait a second."

"Now what?" Octavius looked at Evan in irritation when he was suddenly stopped by him.

Evan just smiled when he saw the old man's irritated face and didn't care about him.

"Before you tell us what to do, I want to say something."

Octavius didn't say anything upon hearing Evan and continued to look at him, waiting for him to speak further.

"I want to say that..." Suddenly, Evan's body started to change. His grey-coloured hair turned pitch black, his ears grew larger and turned pointy. His lazy-looking face disappeared and becquite handsand a demonic aura appeared around him.

"... Fu*k you and your trial."

Octavius's eyes opened wide in horror when he saw Evan's real appearance and he took a step back with a shocked look on his face.

"Ho-how is this possible?"
