Ace felt a powerful soul sense locked on him, and he was prepared for this. With Archie's personality, he would never agree to go to the Royal Demon Institute.
He had declared it many times whenever Harvey bought this issue up and even had Ellie's support.
So, now not only did Archie show that his cultivation was at the Platinum River Core Realm, but he even stated his wishes to enter the Royal Demon Institute. It naturally aroused Harvey's suspicion.
However, the good news was, Harvey hadn't suspected his son was changed entirely. He only suspected that Archie was playing everyone for a fool. Since he can hide his cultivation even from his mother, then he wasn't a fool or careless as he showed himself to be.
Many decedents of big families play pig to eat the tiger and if Archie was pretending to be a pig, then Harvey would be even more ecstatic.
The thought of someone might've replaced his son never even accrued, not even once.
