Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Wrong way to cultivate

Before he started his operation, he could not help but ask what the young master had done.

"Why are you in this state?"

"Exercising uncle," he replied.

Hearing his reply, he froze for a moment. His hand stopped mid-air, but after shaking his head he focused himself to continue.

Johnny placed his fingers on Alexander's wrist and slowly guided a thin strand of mana into his body to check inside.

Alexander who was lying down, felt his fingers and the strand of mana going inside him. He had the power to block it, but he did not do so.

Thinking that his must be part of the process, as the mana moved gently through his veins, and finally he spotted the problem while nodding his head.

"So you weren't lying, don't worry about the young master's health and no need to notify the madam and the duke, the young master had likely overtrained for hours without rest, draining all his strength until his body could no longer move,"

"From what I've checked, the muscles were exhausted clearly it was pushed too hard that it needs time to recover," he said.

Hearing this, Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief. Then after some time, he became confused.

Exhausted his muscles? Just when did this lazy fat ass start working out?

But as Johnny guided his mana deeper, his calm face slowly turned serious as he felt something unnatural within the abdomen.

There, he sensed a tightly condensed Mana Ring, something that should not have formed, and this discovery made his expression grow grave as he pulled his hand back.

Seeing his look, Sebastian on the side began to think that there must be more to it, especially seeing his expression.

"What is it... what... what did you find?" he said while trembling, imagining that his young master was going to die.

"I... I can't say. I think it's better to call the duke and madam," he said his expression growing heavier over time.

Seeing how serious Johnny was, completely different from his playful demeanor, he knew that there must be a big problem with the young master.

Alexander who was lying on the bed, was of course in a panic, "Is there really something wrong with me? Isn't overexerting myself just normal? Why are they making it seem like I'm going to die or something?"

Sebastian did not waste any more time, and after a single minute, he returned with the duke and the madam.

Alexandria seeing her son in this situation, was overwhelmed with sadness as she hugged his face, making him be enveloped by those big melons again.

Even though he loved that his mother was hugging him and showing her love, now was not a good time since he could not breathe while being swallowed in her cleavage.

"Can you stop being so clingy? You're trying to kill our son here. It's not like he is going to die," he said with unnoticeable jealousy.

Since that was supposed to be his tonight, but he was even punished by her it made him complain inwardly.

"And Johnny why did you call me here? Its better be important and worth the notice since I'm very busy these days," he said with a hint of coldness.

"Um, duke Ragnar please take a look at the young master," he said showing a hint of concerned.

Hearing this and his expression he wondered if there is really something wrong with his son, he went towards the nursing bed, extended his finger on his wrist and as his mana travelled his calm face turned into terror.

Then it changed into pure rage like a beast was about to burst out, the room seemed to increase in heat making even Alexandria think that there must be something wrong.

"You freaking IDIOT!!! DID YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!!" his shout was so loud that it echoed all over the manor.

Alexander, who had no idea what was going on was scared shitless, since his father was the only person he had been afraid of since he was young.

And especially seeing that familiar look of madness, he knew that he must have done something wrong, but what?

"Uhh, no," he replied innocently.

"Ragnar can you lower your voice? Your son is clearly hurt and needs some rest. Can you be quiet just for a day?" Alexandria said, too annoyed by his loud voice.

Hearing this, Ragnar looked at her angrily and shouted, "Don't you know what he did honey? He formed a mana ring, a mana ring!!!" he said delivering the shocking news.

Hearing the term 'mana ring", the color drained from Alexandria's face, turning pale than a ghost.

Even Sebastian, who was also confused and wanted to know the answer was shocked and scared.

"Ma-mana ring???" Alexandria stammered.

"That's right, this bastard son of ours condensed a mana ring. I know he is an idiot, but how much of an idiot can he be???" he growled really wanting to slap him to death.

With a face filled with disbelief, he looked at Alexander with a probing gaze.

"Did you really condense a mana ring?" Alexandria asked, wanting to confirm if what she heard was true.

Alexander, who had no idea why they were reacting this madly, answered yes. His expression showed no hint of concern.

After confirming it, Alexandria's face looked drained of blood, so pale that it seemed like she was about to die.

Ragnar after a moment of contemplation, looked at Sebastian and commanded,

"Prepare the coffin for me,"

Sebastian nodded, in that look there was even a hint of sadness in his eyes, but it was covered by his stoic expression.

Alexander hearing that his father was preparing a coffin for him, he was terrified, "Am I really going to die?"

A thought flashed in his mind, and he shook his head. There was no way that was going to happen. In his dream, he seemed even more powerful when this ring was formed, so how could that be?

Seeing his bastard son's flabbergasted expression, he felt pity and loss. In the end, no matter what kind of trash Alexander was, he was still his son.

His only son at that, with his wife Alexandria having problems with childbirth, conceiving another child was not possible.

"Is the bloodline of the House of Versalious going to end just because this bastard is dying?" he cursed.

He had thought that as long as this kid could grow, even though he was useless, there was still some chance for his offspring to continue the family. But if he died, then what?

If the public knew that his son died from absorbing mana the wrong way, they would become a laughingstock in the whole kingdom.

"From the look on your face, you don't know what wrong you have done correct?" he said looking at him with a cold gaze.
