Once again, Lisa was going to be coming to his room today. Rae was headed to his room after the meeting with Harry. Ian had few things that he wanted to check on with Lisa.
...
'Should I go to him? Again???' Lisa was engrossed in her thoughts as she was strolling around in nervousness.
She had begin to feel that she was starting to like it. She was beginning to like whatever Rae and she had going on in between them.
Hesitant, but Lisa decided to leave her room after she checked and made sure that her son was asleep. She had decided to visit Rae yet again, while dressed in a skimpy nightgown which looked similar to a sexy lingerie.
"It's me, Sir Rae." Lisa knocked on the door outside his room.
"You are here already? Come in." Rae pulled her inside his room. He had been waiting for Lisa for a while. After the time he spent with Harry, he had once again gained interest towards her.
"You have dressed pretty well for the occasion. I like how much skin it shows." Rae checked out Lisa blatantly and complimented as he touched the fabric of her dress.
"I just wore my normal night clothes. It's nothing special." Lisa replied trying to hide her enthusiasm to him, with nervousness and anticipation evident in her eyes.

Unaware of what his daughter in law was putting up with, Ekaros was busy taking care of his covert business.
"This is a lot harder than the last time I had made use of it." He mumbled with exhaustion
He had a bloody red stone near his chest which glowed and illuminated the secret abode in which he was hiding.
This was the mysterious artifact that caused the exponential increase in his strength, the secret behind his rank up to level three before the fight with Terias.
That was also the reason why he never feared Terias even after he defeated his siblings and became the Viscount without any trouble.
However, it took time, a great amount of time. His bloodline ability Corruption was not for these peaceful times. Unlike his forefathers who fought various battles and secured themselves their place, he could not just wage a war.
Unfortunately, his corruption ability was pretty useless outside of the war like scenarios. Even the trigger which awakened his ability was blood.
As long as he killed a human, his corruption ability worked to tap into his potential and boost his strength. But that was not it, like the various top tier bloodline abilities, his ability also offered regenerative powers.
This meant that he could fight and keep on fighting, and his strength would keep growing. Not just his physical strength but also his reserves of Ki.
The awakening of his bloodline ability was one of the major reasons why he opted for training the warriors of his family.
In this way, he could train as well as take control of all the capable warriors under the Viscount's flag.
Unfortunately, Terias was not someone Ekaros could defeat. Even without any bloodline ability, Terias actually crowned himself as the Viscount with his absolute strength.
Ekaros tried but he could not exceed Terias in rank, and the lack of life and death battle in his life caused his bloodline ability to be pretty much useless.
Unlike the artifact, which he happened to coincidentally acquire almost a decade ago, his corruption ability only worked while battling humans.
For instance, Ekaros confronted Mathew and revealed the plan to kill and frame him to gain some extra time from Rae. This confrontation had made Mathew furious and scared at the same time.
Mathew struggled really hard and managed to wound Ekaros before being killed.
Sadly, Matthew's effort went to trash because Ekaros instantly recovered due to his bloodline ability Corruption, and also gained valuable resources for his artifact.
