Chapter 1966: Awry

That was the other oddity to this puzzle… why the Zu Clan?

Ryu thought of the possibility that the Zu Clan was actually his own Clan, but he knew himself.

First off, if it really was his own Clan, he was certain that his future self would have found a way to stop Eska from becoming his wife. He didn't care how many generations separated them, he had no intention of bedding one of his descendants.

And second… he would never change his name from Tatsuya, even for a plot. He had too much pride for that.

Unless it was the case that he had changed more than he thought, which he guessed might be possible, there was simply no chance of any of this happening.

But the Zu Clan felt useless to him. They were weak, and the only thing they had ever really brought him was trouble.

Being mistaken for a Zu Clan descendant was why he had been bullied so fiercely at the start of his second life, the reason he had been labeled a so-called "White Devil."
