The Bloodline System

Chapter 881: Doubts Of The Vertigons

This was also another reason why a lot of them couldnʼt be found in the MBO.

It was actually a miracle that Von and the others were ever allowed to join the MBO.

The surroundings were teeming with all types of guards dressed in the same whitish robe-like outfit with the emblem of the three-headed draconic figure on their backs.

Gustav walked into this massive household with the others where the rest of the main family members were waiting as well.

The living room was so massive, that it made Gustav wonder how many people lived within. He only had information on the family members but they still had chefs, maids, cleaners, guards, and butlers. He reckoned over fifty people could gather in this living room and thereʼd still be enough space for more.

Expensive artistic pieces on the wall, chandeliers made from raw diamonds and rare stones, and pieces of furniture that looked like theyʼd sell for millions.

Gustav decided to stop observing the household for now as he sat on one of the sofas. The entire main household was gathering here. It looked like his arrival was going to make them hold a meeting.

In a few seconds, Sixteen Vertigons had gathered in the living room. Gustav could recognize every single one of them. Three children of the previous head who were all women, four uncles, and aunts which included the ones who welcomed Gustav upon arrival.

Four grandparents, two male and female, and lastly the acting head of the household, Madam Lilian.

Madam Lilian just like Madam Cilora was also dark-skinned but the others had lighter skin tones yet they still bore some kind of resemblance to each other. With white hair and chestnut colored eyes.

Some of them greeted Gustav when they saw him while others just stared at him with inexplicable looks and took their seats.

”Where is Stark?” Madam Lilian voiced out after noticing that one person was still missing.

”I have sent a butler to inform him about the meeting,” One of the uncles who had a mixture of white and black hair voiced out.

”I would like you to go and hasten him up. We cannot keep Officer Crimson here unattended to,” She voiced out to the uncle who responded by nodding and standing to his feet.

He walked towards the Southside where one of the diamond-structured stairways was located and began moving up.

”My apologies Officer Crimson for taking up your time like this,” Madam Lilian said with an apologetic tone.

”No worries,” Gustav responded with an unbothered tone.

He wasnʼt in any way offended as this was a part of his mission after all.

The others also looked at him like they were scrutinizing him.

ʼThis officer seems quite young... hopefully, he is capable enough,ʼ Most of them had thoughts similar to this and some of them were just waiting to ask Gustav all sorts of questions when the meeting begins.

Minutes later the uncle who had left earlier arrived back alone.

”Young nephew Stark seems currently indisposed... He claims he canʼt attend because he is working on something and we should just go on without him,” He voiced out while taking his seat.

Madam Lilian had a wry look on her face as she sighed. Gustav could see the frustration on her face which made it seem like this wasnʼt the first time something of this sort was happening.

”Letʼs just go on then,” She said with a look of defeat.

”Welcome once again Officer Crimson. I believe you have been briefed on our current predicament,” She said to Gustav.

”Yes. According to the information I received, I have to help you find the original emblem of your family,” Gustav stated.

”Correct... You see this emblem is a symbol and without it, Stark canʼt rule the family in the future. Weʼve pushed the timing of the new head appointment several times because we have been unable to find it with our capabilities so we believe that with the MBO sending you here, you must be capable enough,” She voiced out lengthily.

”No worries, Iʼll start conducting my investigation as soon as possible to find it. If the information I got about it is accurate. Only a real member of the main household can activate its power. This means it would very much lose its value if it was taken away from this island...

I believe itʼs still here, the only issue will be how to pinpoint its exact location,” Gustav said with a contemplative look.

Some of them seem to agree with Gustavʼs words and nodded their heads while some still had unimpressed looks.

”Pfft the MBO sent a kid to do a manʼs job? What qualifications does this kid have that makes you lot believe he can find the emblem?” One of the uncles voiced out with a tone of disagreement.

”Oh Bila, Being in the MBO at such a young age is enough capability is it not?” Madam Cilora said on behalf of Gustav.

”It is not,” Bila who happened to be the second uncle voiced out.

”Being young also means lacking in experience. The MBO should have sent us someone who has handled similar cases before. We cannot have a youngster wasting our time,” Another aunt voiced out her agreement with Bilaʼs words.

”I donʼt think the MBO would send someone incapable of handling the situation,” One of Starkʼs three sisters voiced out.

”Little niece you seem not to know that this kid just came here straight from the MBO camp. This means he is still just a cadet or he just completed his training... That screams inexperience,” Uncle Bila voiced out again causing the eyes of the others to widen.

Those who didnʼt initially doubt Gustavʼs capabilities began to doubt after hearing this.

”Is this true?” One of the uncles asked after hearing that.

”Absolutely correct... I just completed my MBO training,” Gustav finally responded with an unbothered tone.

-”What is the MBO thinking, sending us an inexperienced officer,”

-”We need to switch and get a better one right now,”

Some of the family members instantly voiced their dissatisfaction after hearing that.

”What is your bloodline rank kid?” One of them asked.
