Chapter 279: Chapter 279

Lucas' words trailed off hearing his father's words.

Vanessa observed her son's actions waiting for his response. For some reason, she felt a bit nervous and squeezed his hands.

"Why did you ask about that? By chance did you..."

Lucas felt a chill seeing his father's lingering gaze.

He twirled his finger pondering a bit. He was anxious now and unable to decide what to say.

After a brief pause, Lucas answered.

"No!" Lucas answered without any hesitation.

His heart was painted with guilt because of lying but he was helpless. If he said yes, he needed to explain about his bloodline which he didn't want them to know now because he would soon take a diamond bloodline potion so if he said that family heirloom increased his rank to gold, he couldn't explain how it became to diamond and then he need to either come up with a lie to cover it or tell the truth and explain his complicated system.
