Caesar Colin?!

Luo Yan's shoulders tensed slightly, and his pupils even scattered a bit... although that unnatural expression quickly returned to normal.

Honestly, he hadn't fully absorbed the shock brought by Vivian. Although the various reactions of Priest Geoffrey had more or less let him guess that his father might be a vampire, he had not expected that the man was actually a direct descendant of the Colin family.

What was even more unexpected to him was that his grandfather... who should theoretically be his grandfather, the Vampire Prince of the Colin family was actually standing here?!

However, by the looks of him... it seemed he hadn't recognized him?

Luo Yan's thoughts raced through his mind, and after weighing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided to pretend he knew nothing.

This was the most rational choice.

He was unclear about where Vivian got her information; before he and his old man recognized each other, the truth could only be fifty-fifty.

And whether true or false, an illegitimate child was never a role of glory.

His father had not yet become the next Family Head, and letting the current Family Head know that his successor had an illegitimate child outside might not be good news.

Actually, this was also where Vivian had been most inconsiderate.

With her father not yet inheriting the position of Family Head, a scandal blown up too big would not only affect her but could likely impact her father as well, and might even change him from a direct descendant to a collateral line.

Of course, Luo Yan could feel that she perhaps did not seek to fight him purely for some inheritance rights, but maybe she also wanted to retaliate against his own father or to redress his mother or something.

After all, humans, these complex beings, never have just one motive for doing something... not to mention that this was a mentally immature vampire.

Consequences are something only adults consider.

Watching Mia hurry along and Luo Yan who seemed to be stunned, Principal Ai Wen approached with a smile and took the initiative to introduce them.

"Let me introduce you, this here is the current Family Head of the Colin Family, the Cabinet Military Minister, Caesar Colin, or as you might say, Prince Colin."

Caesar Colin's face wore a spring-like smile, his imposing features showing not a hint of haughtiness, making it difficult not to feel good about him.

"Hello, my name is——" Luo Yan instinctively extended the right hand that he had used to hit his granddaughter, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the enthusiastic Principal Ai Wen.

"Luo Yan, a recent graduate of Demon King Academy, the Demon King of the Great Graveyard, and also one of my proudest students." Principal Ai Wen's face bore a radiant smile, the soul fire within his skull shimmering with overflowing pride.

Caesar grasped Luo Yan's right hand and shook it, greeting him with a kind smile.

"Hello there, young man. I heard someone was dissatisfied with the Cabinet's decisions, so I came to see... but it seems like there's no need for our intervention, you've already convinced your opponent to accept defeat with your methods."

Holding Prince Colin's hand, Luo Yan humbly smiled and said,

"Convinced might not be exact, but Sir Dragon probably has no reason to bother me about succession rights anymore."

"Haha, if they bother you again, just write to me directly."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"You're welcome."

Luo Yan and Caesar Colin exchanged pleasantries amiably and soon their conversation moved from the duel to the work in the Demon King Territory and then to life at the Demon King Academy.

To his surprise, he discovered that this military minister was also a graduate of the Demon King Academy!

However, like many other High-level Demons who went to the Academy for a mere formality, this "elder schoolmate Colin" had never served as a Demon King for even a day; instead, he trained in the Demon King Territory for a while before returning to Demon City. The Demon King Territory he once served in had changed bosses several times already.

Though he never managed a Demon King Territory, Caesar still shared quite a bit of his governance experience with Luo Yan.

Luo Yan hardly inserted any words, especially unsure how to face this grandfather whom he hadn't recognized, so he simply decided to listen more and say less, earnestly playing the role of a respectful and eager-to-learn junior.

Mia beside him did the same.

This "Demon Lord of Mayhem" who would behave domineeringly in front of her immediate boss was as well-behaved as a Little Demon Mi Xi in front of the Demon God Cabinet Minister.

This clear hierarchical separation in Hell was truly terrifying, not so different from humans aboveground.

Just as Luo Yan was reflecting on this "reality of Hell", he suddenly noticed that Principal Ai Wen's eyes kept unconsciously drifting towards him.

That seemed to be hinting at something, or perhaps probing something.

Luo Yan's mind stirred slightly.

Could it be—

that Principal Ai Wen knew his background?

Honestly, if it weren't for encountering Vivian, he wouldn't even think of this possibility.

Yet now his mind was filled with matters of his informal father to the extent that he couldn't help but relate everything to his own background.

He always felt that the entire world knew who his father was.

The only one who didn't know was himself.

Damn, that's enough!

Luo Yan pushed this unrealistic thought out of his mind.

However, he didn't know that although others really didn't know who his father was, the exceptionally memory-gifted Principal Ai Wen had been eyeing him since he first enrolled because he looked familiar, and had even concocted a private novel of 1.8 million words about an illegitimate child's counterattack in his head.

Even his bringing Caesar to watch this duel was largely for this reason.

However, seeing that Luo Yan seemed not to recognize his own grandfather, Principal Ai Wen was slightly taken aback, feeling that the plot's development seemed to deviate from what he had anticipated.
