Chapter 58
Taylor proudly said to Georgio, "Yes, Lord himself designed this Mansion to suit his tastes and he also created those dishes because he felt there were too few dishes and he liked none of them so he made these . "
Taylor had also inquired about this peculiar scene after arriving at the mansion when it came to food and architecture of this mansion . He was quite amazed after learning that John created so many unique things .
After Confirmation, Georgio had different thoughts, 'As expected from her disciple . But Master is quite insane sometimes when it comes to certain situations, I wonder how long this relation would last . '
During his stay, he observed all the things that he could find interesting . It was also on Duncan's order that he was enthusiastically looking at all the new things which he hadn't seen previously . He only left later in the evening after checking out the mansion and its special peculiarities, he was escorted by Taylor .
During this time, John and Jake today started their training with Vlad, Meanwhile, Melanie was going to be watching over their training so that if any accidents happen, she could be present for necessary precautions .
"Okay since today will be the day you guys will come under me as my disciples . Let me introduce myself to you guys . In the past, I was usually called by those who feared and adored in the underworld as Vlad of the Dark . There is quite a past behind why I am called Vlad of the Dark so I won't waste your time on worthless matters . Currently, I am working as a butler to Miss Diana Bluesea of House Bluesea . anyways why don't you guys introduce yourselves first? Though I might already know a lot about you, I would still like to hear it from your mouth about your future goals and what motivates you to achieve those goals . "
As soon as Vlad finished, Melanie interrupted him in a mocking tone and called him out for his lies, "Worthless matters of past? I say bullshit, who are you trying to fool, you think they are kids who don't understand shit about you? or do you want me to recall that previous incident where you created a lot of stir in a lot of kingdoms?"
Vlad staggered as soon as he heard Melanie and coughed a bit, He also cursed the fact that why Melanie would have to Join while he was training them .
Vlad thought frustratingly as soon as he heard her, 'Can't she keep her mouth quiet and let me train them instead of digging up all the buried graves of the past . '
he coughed a bit and tactfully mentioned about her involvement and said, "Mind you, you and Heath were the ones who provided me supplies when that incident occurred . So it's good if both of us keep quiet or do you want me to reveal other incidents?"
Hearing this Melanie was even more enraged when she remembered how she was conned by him in the previous incident . As soon as she thought to reply to him, she stopped remembering the incident .
John was amused and watched this scene from the sidelines . Meanwhile Jake still didn't know a lot about both of them so he didn't think much of it and broke the awkward atmosphere between them when he answered Vlad's question .
Jake was precise when it came to answering Vlad's question . He said in a very cold tone "Central-West of the Aelius Kingdom, Radiant city, a merchant and slave previously, currently serving under Lord John . Goals? I only 3 goals right now, One is getting power, two is killing a certain aristocrat while my third goal is to serve Sir John with the best of my capabilities"
Vlad had expected such an answer from Jake, Vlad was more curious about John as he didn't have much information on him so that is one of the reasons why he had earlier asked that question to both of them .
John was very much aware about why Vlad asked him that question, he thought a bit and said to Vlad, "If I am honest, I think I came from a very far away place even I don't know its current location . Talking about goals? I want to change this world if I am capable enough to do so, I would like it if my subjects can have a better livelihood in the future, for that I would need resources and power to defend myself so I am currently striving towards that path . "
John gave a very vague when it came to his own origin or his goals . However, Vlad came to the conclusion that John knew about his place of origin but he was hiding something, maybe he needed to hide something was his conclusion .
Vlad thought, 'A very vague answer from him, however, it's good that he didn't say any falsehood and his goals seem very ambitious from the way he says he wants to change the world but very vague as well since small things can change the world as well . '
Vlad stopped and said to them after their introductions,
"Okay enough with the introductions Today I have prepared some gifts for both of you since I have accepted you guys as my disciples . If both of you could make good use of these gifts in the future, then I will be very proud of you guys . "
"My first gift is the technique stealthy steps of hell, this is a technique which I had created personally all those years ago . I have always been refining this technique to better heights if you guys can show the true worth of this technique and make it reach pinnacle then that would be the happiest day of my life to be alive . "
Vlad then gave a small rusty knife to Jake and "My second gift would be this small knife to you, use it well, it might seem rusty but It can give a lot of surprises when it is in work . "
Vlad then gave a small book to John and said to him, "It is a book on potion making which I had found earlier when I was traveling the world . I think it would be of better use to you unlike someone else . "
It was a book he had found earlier in ancient ruins but he couldn't translate it but he could make it out that it was book related to potion making and herbology because of the pictures present in the book . Previously he had lent the same book to Melanie but he took it again from her since she couldn't find answers after a few years . This was one of the reason Melanie always said he conned people .
He said that intentionally as he hoped a lot from this book and also wanted to display his displeasure of her previous comment as he didn't get act cool like he always does .
John thought, 'It seems they are both quite petty with each other . '
